MRS. ]. S. PEDRICK

Mrs. j. S. Pedrick, who many will
remember as having lived in Ocala
for number of years, died last eve
ming at o'clock at her home in Dun
mellon. Mrs Pedrick suffered for
over a year, and for the past six
months had been in great pain. But
she was brave and bore up under her
afaiction with almost superhuman
patience. Mrs. Pedrick possessed a
kindly and generous spirit and was
always ready to help those less for
tunate than herself. She leaves a
husband, one daughter, Miss Mamie
Pedrick, and son. who will sorely
miss her. The remains will pass thru
0cala today on the Coast Line train,
accompanied by the family, for the
old family burial ground at Morris
ton, where she will be laid to rest by
the side of her loved ones. The sym
pathy of all is extended to the family
in their time of sore need.

thlngT The government replied: "We
must get condensed milk for the little
children here" The commission got
the milk. At one spot in France farm
work was stopped by lack of horses.
That meant more hunger. The Red
Cross got in a big tractor and set 1t
TO plowing for the community.
There are a million needs. Cold,
wes and the deadly physical strain of
the trenches undermine mems consti-
tutions. A frightful scourge of tuber-
culosis has developed in France. The
Red Cross has built sanatoria, pro-
vided over a thousand beds and nurses.
Thirty Millions for France.
l have here a big sheaf of sheets
filed with figures. One item is thirteen
million and odd doIlars-the amount
which, up to that time, had gone to the
local chapters Of the Red Cross in the
United States for local relief. Twenty
FIVE per cent of the money subscribed
through the chapters eventually goes
that way.
Over thirty millions have been ap-
propriated for work in France. Here
is a million and a quarter-in round
numbers-for military hospitals and
dispensaries over a million and a half
for canteen service, where French and
American soldiers, relieved from the
trenches, can get good food, a cot, a
bath, and have their clothes disinfected
and so go on for their brief holiday
clean, rested, nourished. There are
over three millions for hospital supply
service: half a million for rest sta
tions for American troops.

million dollars; care and prevention OF

Misery on an Unparalleled Scale.
These are all large items; but the
Red Cross is graphing with human
misery on an unparalleled scala
world of 1t. The item for relief of the
blind amounts to four hundred thou
sand dollars. The dispensary service
sends supplies to more than thirty-four
hundred hospitals. The Red Cross re-
ceives and distributes more than two
hundred tons of supplies daily at Paris.
For this distribution and its other
work 1t requires big transportation
service of motors and trucks. This
transportation service has cost mil
lion and a half, and its operating ex-
penses run to a million dollars.
Every dollar 1t spends means misery

The Spending Of Your

many months the world has been

enormous job is to do whatever it can
to alleviate that-not after the war,
not after governments have deliber-

the minute, on the spot. It's amazing
that It has done so much with SO little
money.

DUvAL WENT DRY
Plague Spot Wiped OFF the Map of
Florida by the PrOhi-
bitiOnists

Jacksonville, May 15.-In the wet
or dry election in Duval county yes
terday eleven city wards gave ma
jority of SIS for the drys. which
means that the county goes dry, as it
is believed the smaller county pre-
cincts cannot overcome this lead.
Twenty-Five out of thirty-six pre-
cincts gave dry majority of 705, and
it is believed the remaining eleven
precincts will run this majority up to
nearly 1000.
Thus ends one of the most notable
prohibition fights in Florida. The re-
suit is due to the action of the best
business men of the state metropolis
who decided that the time had come
for the whisky business to go. The
result will cause general rejoicing in
all parts Of Florida, and especially in
this section whose blind tigers have
been furnished with whisky from
Jacksonville.

WHAT FRANK CLARK
REALLY SAID

A day or two ago Congressman
Frank Clark, in a speech in the
House, replied vigorously to attacks
which had been made on his attitude
towards various war measures. In
answering them he said:
"There is being circulated through
out the district which | have the hon
or to represent on this floor a circu-
lar which grossly misrepresents the
position / took and, the remarks /
made on what is commonly known as
the selective draft BILL / did oppose
both in speech and by vote what was
known as the Kahn amendment, which
amendment provided for the conscr1p-
tion of the young men of America in
order to raise an army for the pres
ent war. / took the position that the
volunteer plan of raising an army
was the traditional, time-honored
American plan, and as volunteers had
fought all the battles of the republic
and had fought them successfully, i
saw no reason why we should at this
late day repudiate that plan.
SIN taking this position, | followed
the lead of such democrats as Champ
Clark, that great democrat who is
with such ability filling the Office of
speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, and that other brilliant demo-
cratic leader, Claude Kitchin, who
honors the position of democratic
leader on the floor of the House of
Representatives. Those who support
ed the draft system under the lead of
that great republican from California,
Hon. julius Kahn, said that they were
opposed to the volunteer plan because
under its operation the brave, patri-
otic young men who were in active
business of one kind and another
would volunteer, while the loafer, the
tramp, the bum, the poolroom habitue
and others of that kind would not vol
unteer, and would therefore escape
military service; that they favored
the draft system because under it we
would force all the loafers, ragamuf-
fins, buns, poolroom habitues and
their kind into the army to fight the
battles of the country and leave at
home the young men who were doing
something for the general good and
who were worth while. They argued
that under the draft system they
would leave the farmer, the mine
worker, the mechanic and so forth az
home, while they would force this
loafng class into the army.
'In my remarks / ridiculed the idea
that we wanted an army of loafers,
ragamuffns, buns and that class to
fight the battles of America, and a
reading of the remarks / made will
show that my reference TO this class
was purely in that sense. Any state
fment or insinuation that in that
speech or anywhere else have ever
characterized the American army, Sc
