belliOn but the people have only been conquered by time and reason and ed ucation. Many of the older genera ton were never conquered. It is the younger generation who did not feel the suppression of force which is the more easily convinced of the error of the South's contention and has there fore come over to the attitude of the North. After all, the only way per son or a people are conquered is when they adopt a policy or em brace q cause of their own free choice. The Balkan states will not be conquered by force. They may be suppressed, but not until they are allowed to work out their dem ocracy in their own way will they ever truly estab blish it. There is a sense in which every soul and every race must work out it's own salvation. The Kingdom of God cometh without observation, whether in the individ- ual heart or in the government of men.

Was Reached Says War Depart
ment Last Week
ALTHO At A FEARFUL COST THE GERMANS HAVE GAINED
SOME GROUND, THEY FAILED IN THEIR MAIN OBJECT
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, April 15.-The turn
ing point in the battle on the west
front has been reached, says the war
departments review of the military
situation for last week, published to-
day. The Germans have failed in
their purpose to achieve a victory m
the field and will soon be forced to re-
sumo their old tactics.
The statement says: eve must
bear in mind the enemy in waging a
battle of annihilation to achieve vic
tory and fighting with the sole aim of
annihilating the British army. Thus
the terrain conquered counts for lit
tie. 1t would be unwise to endeavor
to belittle the advantages scored by
the Germans, yet they have failed in
their great purpose"

OCALA TO HAVE
A CANNING FACTORY

The H. A.. Shaver Canning company
has leased the packing house of the
citrus exchange for the summer sea-
son and will shortly start canning
vegetables.
The season will start off with the
canning of beans. The company ex-
poets to begin with the bean crop in
about ten days and continue through
out the season. Then will follow to-
matoes and other vegetables raised in
this county.
Mr.. E. L. RAIDER of Whitesburg,
Tenn, who has been here for the
past few weeks installing the ma
chinery, will have charge of the
plant, and at the start it will employ
from rs to 100 people in the packing
house, besides number of inspec-
tors in the fields. Mr.. RAIDER is an
expert in his line, having been engag
ed in this business for a number of
years.
A canning plant has been one of
the needs of Ocala for number of
years, and we trust that it's expel,
ience this season will warrant the en-
larging of the present outfit each
year. A number of our farmers are
conducting private canneries, but
these do not begin to take care of the
surplus vegetable crops which are
left in the fields each season on ac-
count of lack of canning facilities.

FIFTY MILLION FEET OF FL
MEETING OF FAIR DIRECTORS

A meeting of the directors of the
Marion County Fair and Agricultural
Association was held at the board of
trade rooms this forenoon, and while
there were not many present, the
lack of numbers was made up by the
determination displayed by those who
did respond to the call of the presi-
dent.
Additional reports of the commit
tees appointed some days ago to
make a canvass of the county were
filed and show that the fair this sea-
son is assured.
The secretary was instructed to
make collections of the amounts sub
scribed by May 1st SO that the work
of preparation may begin at once for
this seasons fair, which gives prom
ise of being far the best we have ever
held.
President r. S. Hall announced
that the encouragement met with all
over the county was certainly graft
flying to those who have been at work
raising funds with which to pay off
an Indebtedness that has been hang
ing over the association for number
of years. Each years fair has more
than met its current running ex-
penses, but the debt made in the orig
inal purchase has proved quite a bur
den, and now that this has been rails
ed the fair can proceed without this
handicap.
Mr.. Hall announced that the ar
lrangements about completed puts the
association in splendid financial con-
dition and It only remains now for the
people of the county to put forth their
efforts to make the grandest display
of Florida products ever shown. Old
Marion has the goods and it's up to
US to show them to the world.
There is by far more live stock and
general farming in the county now
than ever before and with an effort
we can make a grand showing at our
annual fair.
As the organization has been
changed from one for profit to one to
be operated without profit, certain
,, formalities must be- gone through
with and it will be necessary to
change the bylaws to meet the new
order of things. The president ap-
pointed Messrs. Nathan Mayo and FL
M. Hampton committee to revise the
bylaws.

ing.

FOOD REGULATIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLDERS

All householders who can entirely
eliminate the use of wheat until the
next harvest, about September 1st,
should do so.
Householders who are obliged to
use wheat should not use more than
a total of 17s pounds of wheat flour
or prepared wheat, in any form, per
person per week, including the wheat
flour in Victory bread, and including
the wheat -four or prepared wheat in
crackers, pastry, macaroni, breakfast
and other foods.
In estimating -four consumption ev-
cry IL pounds of Victory bread,
which is bread manufactured by bak-
ers under the regulations of the Uni
ted States food administration, may
be considered equal to 1 pound of
wheat -four.
This rationing requires more re-
stricted use of wheat than that asked
for by the observance of wheatless
days and meals, which are no longer
obligatory, but in practice it will be
found that an even wider and more
strict observance of wheatless days
and meals will aid greatly in limiting
the household consumption of wheat
flour and other prepared wheat to
IL pounds per person per week.
Meat of any kind may be eaten on
any day in moderation until May 1st
In buying wheat flour an equal
weight of other cereals as substitutes
for wheat flour must be bought pound
for pound. In buying graham, whole
wheat or mixed fours the substitutes
in them may be sounted so that a
smaller proportion of substitutes may
be bought with these Hours than with
wheat -four. This is the $3.50 rule.
Wheat -four substitutes are hominy,
corn grits, cornmeal, corn flour, edible
cornstarch, barley flour, rolled oats,
oatmeal, rice, rice flour, buckwheat
flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour,
soya bean -four and feterita flour and
meals.
Householders IN towns and cities
may not buy more than Il of a barrel
&C -four at any one time. Householders
in the country may not buy more than
II of a barrel of flour at any one
time. In no event shall any pur-
chaser have more than 80 days sup
ply on hand
All kinds of food, especially wheat
meats, fats and sugar, should be eco-
nomically used.
Grow and use local supplies; this
saves transportation.
These regulations are necessarily
subject to change at any time as the
needs of the Allies and our own needs
demand.

OF INTEREST TO AUTO OWNERS

Sheriff Galloway has received the
following important notice from the
State Controller:
Mr.. j. P. Galloway,
Sheriff Marion County:
Dear Sir: / wish to advise you that
there is absolutely no excuse for any
party in the state, for not having Sc
cured their automobile license, and /
respectfully request that you enforce
the law rigidly in your county.
The office issues license the same
day the application is received, and
there is no delay at this end, and no
reason why anyone should be without
their license numbers.
Where car is carrying a "B" tag,
and has truck body it is doing so in
violation of the law, and the matter
should be corrected. All cars which
are used for hauling other loads than
and are liable for truck fee, which is
ten dollars when the carrying capaci-
ty is one ton or less.
| also wish to call your attention
to the fact, that when car has been
recently purchased from dealer, the
law provides for the new owner to use
the dealers license for fifteen days,
which time is sufficient for same to
procure his private license numbers
from this office, and there is no reas-
on for any car to be operated without
license tag.
/ also wish to call your attention
to violation of the law which is be-
ing committed by some Of the deal
ers in the state, who are printing their
license numbers upon pasteboard pla-
cards and attaching them to the cars
they are selling their customers. II
their license tags are not sufficient
they can secure additional ones from
this office. In this manner there is
no reason why any one should oper-
ate an automobile with the license
applied for" placard placed upon it,
and I am of the opinion that in many
instances it is only subterfuge to
avoid the payment of the license fee.
/ also wish to call your attention to
another feature which the owner Is
negligent in, and that is that all cars
must carry front and rear tag. It
is of course very apparent to you the
necessity of this regulation is to make
an easier and better Identification In
case of accident or damage, and / re-
spectfully request that you enforce
this regulation along with the others.
/ viii say further for your infor-
nation that / am issuing these in
struction generally to all sheriffs thru
out the state and respectfully request
their earnest cooperation throughout
the state.
Thanking you in advance for your
cooperation and with kindest person
al regards, am
Yours very truly,

and board of directors request that
every section of the county be repre-
sented by one or more citizens. Many
important matters are to be looked
after, and it is desired that each
community have voice in arranging
for Marion county's biggest fair next
fall.
The fair ground is valuable pro-
perty and those at the head of the as
sociation are to be congratulated
upon having arranged to raise the
debt which has for long time more
or less handicapped those in charge
of the annual fair meetings.
A publicity committee was ap-
poitned and its members viii proceed
at once to let the people of Florida
know that Marion county is going to
have the biggest fair in her history in
the fall of 1913.

UNREST GROWING
IN AUSTRIA
Clemenceau's Revelations Have Put
the Emperor Charles in a
Close Corner
CAssociated Press)

Amsterdam, April 15-Count Ger
min, the Austro-Hungarian foreign
minister, has resigned, according to
Vienna dispatch. The emperor has
accepted the resignation but entrust-
ed Count Czernin with the conduct of
foreign affairs until his successor is
appointed.
The recent publication by the
French government of futile peace
appeal sent out by Emperor Charles,
March 19, 1917, and efforts to explain
this letter to the satisfaction of Ger
many and the German emperor, was
probably the most potent influence
bringing about the resignation of
Count CZernin.

ONE Of THE NAVY'S BIG SHIPS WITH 293 MEN
ABOARD NOT HEARD FROM FOR SIX WEEKS

Washington, April 1.-THE naval
collier Cyclops, carrying 15 officers,
220 men in the crew and 81 passen-
gers, has been overdue at an Atlantic
port since March 13, the navy depart
men announced today. The Cyclops
was last reported from West Indian

to the vessels fate is entertained. No
theory has been advanced of a pos
sible manner for the ships loss as
she was constantly in reach of wire

severe storms in that section.

OCALA
(Arcadia News)

Ocala is probably the best inland
city in Florida north of Orlando. 1t
is beautiful place, well shaded, has
some six or seven miles of the finest
brick streets, and is typically a city of
beautiful homes. Ocala supports two
daily papers, the Star and the Ban
ner, and both of them seem to enjoy
reasonable patronage. Mr.. Lummus,
the new owner of the Banner, is an old
newspaper man and will no doubt
keep up the Banner standard, espe-
cially since he is still to have regular
contributions from the pen of Mr..
Frank Harris, the former editor of
this paper. Editor Benjamin of the
Star is an assiduous worker and one
of the best photographers in the state.
Ocala is in an excellent farming
section, which can always be said of
practically all the region between
Ocala and Gainesville, distance of
A miles. The farm lands are all well
fenced and there is evidence of pros
perity among the farmers. For many
miles along the route between McIn-
tosh, Evinston and Micanopy there
were by actual count several hundred
negro women and children seen work
ing in the large bean fields. Never
before have we seen so many beans
under cultivation, many fields looked
Pas if they contained no fewer than Is
to 25 acres, the soil looked rich and
especially adapted to the growth of
these beans, all the vines being in
perfect condition and some showed
the beans to be about ready fol
market.

SUCCESS OF THE
!. COMMUNITY SING

The community sing" at the Tenn
pie Sunday afternoon was beautiful
and inspiring occasion. The theater
was full, every seat being taken and
many standing during the service.
The patriotic decoration of the stage
won the approving attention of every
one. Following was the
Program
Music by the orchestra of the Bap-
tist church.
Prayer by Rev. C. E. Wyatt.
Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Nearer, My God to Thee.
Swanee River.
Solo, by Mr.. Lester Lucas.
Chorus: Keep the Home Fires
Burning.
Onward Christian Soldiers.
Chorus: Joan of Arc.
High School: Battle Song Of Lib
erty.
My Faith Looks Up to Thee.
Duet, 81 Have Waited for the
Lord"-Mrs. Ketchum, Miss Porter.
Solo, by Mr.. Dean Miller.
America-Prayer song.
The idea of the Community sing
originated with Miss Marguerite Por-
ter and her glee singers of the high
school, and with the help of their
friends they carried it to successful
conclusion. Miss Porter directed the
music, and was indeed a peerless
leader" The splendid orchestra of the
Baptist church helped out greatly
with its clever instrumental music.
The solos by Messrs. Lester Lucas
and Dean Miller and the duet by Mrs
Ketchum and Miss Porter were both
greatly enjoyed and heartily applaud
ed.
One excellent feature, and unusual
here, was that when "Old Folks al
Home" was sung, many men and boys
in the audience joined the music by
whistling the tune, and you can be
sure that whenever a hundred mer
and boys together whistle a pretty
and well-known tune they are well
worth hearing.
The music struck on the inner
chords of many hearts and not few
of the women wiped tears from THEN
eyes.
On the other hand, Mr.. Miller moved
the crowd into a laugh when he took
seat at the piano and led "Hike
Hike, to Berlin" in the chorus Of
which many joined.
This "sing" was so web ATTENDED
and highly praised that it is to bt
hoped that it win be often repeated
