things many, many times over. The
monkey was very quick and bright and
learned everything remarkably quick
~.
1.-THE special performance was to be
given on q day set aside by the keeper.
OF course 1t couldn't be advertised all
around as q circus could, but the keep
er told all his special children friends
who came to the 0 very often and
they told their friends, and 1t got
around SO that for the day of the per-
Torrance the monkey house was filed
with children.
"Let me shake hands with the per-
former the keeper said, and he shook
hands with Zuzeppa. Then they each
bowed, and the keeper said, Now Zu-
zeppa will show you his circus tricks
$50 Zuzeppa hung by his tail and
turned many somersaults, he swung
back and forth and jumped and twist
ed and turned. He did the most mar
velous Of circus tricks and all the chill
dren clapped their hands and the other
monkeys yelled and screamed, Well
done. Zuzeppa.'
mo one else knew what the mon
keys meant but everyone knew they
were excited. They weren't Jealous Of
Zuzeppa, for they knew he wanted to
learn tricks and be a trick-performing
monkey. Besides he had worked hard
enough to have the whole monkey
house to himself for an afternoon.
"'Now,' said the keeper, 'Zuzeppa
will do his special trick. 1t has been
done before by monkeys but Zuzeppa
never did 1t before, and he has been
practicing it SO he could do 1t beauti-
fully for this fine performance
1.-THE keeper took out a little wooden
table and put a napkin upon 1t and q
cloth. Then Zuzeppa spread the cloth
over the table. reached down in a box
the keener had. and took out a knife !.
and a fork and a spoon. He put all
these on the table and then tied the
napkin around his neck.
"Next he took a little broken chair
which was In his cage and sat upon

sThe keeper acted as the waiter, and
passed things to Zuzeppa. And what

"What?" asked the children.
"Zuzeppa behaved at that table just
rs though he were a real person. He
ate with his fork and he cut with his
'5nife. He peeled his banana which he~'
hnd for dessert and then he ate It.,
wiping his mouth with his napkin.
Put when he was all through his
meal and had put. his hands In a finger
howl to make them nice and clean. he
took a pipe, which the keener handed
him, struck a match and lighted the
pipe. He only smoked for a second or
two, blowing the smoke out, as he
didn't especially care for 1t. But oh.
how happy he was when the children
laughed and clapped their hands! And
this Is q true story"

THE DIVINE RIGHTS" BILL

Washington, March 11.-President
Wilson Friday, signed the soldiers
and sailors civil rights bill, practical
ly creating a moratorium for men in
the military service.
Uncle Sans Ten Commandments
In signing the above mentioned bill
President Wilson signed bill which
takes its place in history as the most
liberal legislation in protection of a
nations fighters ever known. II is
good enough, strong enough to be
called the National Ten Command
ments and is, in effect, thus:
Thou shalt not evict, for non-pay-
ment of rent "a soldiers dependents
under penalty of $4,000 fine.
Thou shalt not cut off a soldiers

Thou shalt not settle a lawsuit
against a soldier during his absence.
If soldier sue, the courts shall

If soldier has mine, Or timber

Honor thy soldier and thy sailor,
that they may be long in the land of
liberty.
No man hath greater love than he
that offereth his life for the worlds
sake, and it is commanded that neither
lawyers, nor the loan-sharks, nor the
gatherers of titles shall fatten on
him.

A LAWYER-FARMER

Mr.. H. M. Hampton is finding time
from his law practice to superintend
the cultivation this spring of 375
acres to staple crops on his farm four
miles southeast of town. Mr.. Hamp-
ton is planting cotton, corn and pea
nuts, and has the new land in a good
stage of cultivation. He took charge
Of this farm less than year and a
half ago, there being little land in eul-
tivation, very little fencing and only
one or two old, dilapidated barnyard
houses on it. Today he has over 500
acres, has most of that fenced with
the best of field fencing, has over 300
acres cleared, nearly as much broken
and ready to plant, good wells of
water, with tank and power pump, a
huge two-story barn, another large
one-story barn, an eight-room super
intendent's residence almost complet-
ed and several smaller cottages and
farm buildings. Of live stock, he has
an ample number, modern machinery,
eight fine mules and a nice herd OF
hogs. After this crop the farm will
begin to bring in an income and be
in a fine state of cultivation, but Mr..
Hampton will continue to clear and
break the land until all is in cultiva-
ton

GOVERNOR CATS IN THE CITY

Gov. Cats arrived in the city yes
terday afternoon. He came very un-
expectedly and thereby escaped the
attentions of the faithful
The governor probably came to in
spect the industrial school and the
hospital for crippled children, in both
of which he is much interested. He
looked over the farm at the school, in
spected the buildings, took dinner
with the matron and teachers and
seemed well pleased with all he saw.
He also paid visit to the crippled
children, wards of the state, at the
hospital, and was gratified at the good
care they are most obviously receiv-
ing from the physicians and nurses.
The governor paid few visits to
friends in the city before he left for
Bronson, to help open the chautauqua
at that enterprising town tomorrow.
He was taken over to Williston by
Mr.. Shelton Phillips, who came after
him in his car.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
FOR THE FARMERS

Washington, March lin an ap-
peal to the farmers to put their saw
ings into government war savings
certificates, Secretary of Agriculture
Houston today said:
at is the patriotic duty of every
citizen who is in a position to do so
to invest in war savings and thrift
stamps and thereby help the nation
to win this war. The purchase of
even twenty-five cent thrift stamp
is a definite contribution to this end.
"War savings and thrift stamps
faster the habit of thrift in small ex.
penditures, make it possible for near
ly everyone to purchase what are in
reality small government bonds, and
offer a unique opportunity to the peo-
pie at once to help their government
and to economic conveniently for
the purchase of the best investment
securities in the world.
"To win this war we must have
both men and money. l know that
every farmer wants to do everything
in his power for the nation in this day
of trial. He will not only labor to
produce the necessary foodstuffs but
will also generously contribute of his
means to make it possible for the men
at the front to achieve victory. l am
confident that the farmers of the land
will not permit any other class to
take the leadership in supporting the
government in this crisis, financially
or otherwise"

UNWAVERING SUPPORT
OF THE ADMINISTRATION
Duty of Every American, Says Con-
gresham for the Second
District
Gainesville SUM

Before we decided to go into this
war, it was the right of every Ameri-
can citizen to freely and fully express
his opinion both as to the wisdom of
our active participation and as to the
manner of raising our armies" said
Congressman Frank Clark to a Sun
reporter last night, "but having de-
cided in the legal and orderly way
that we would become an active par
ticipant in the war, and having de-
cided how we would raise our armies,
it then became the solemn duty OF
every loyal American citizen to cease
all discussion of these questions and
to stand behind and support the
president and the administration in
each and every step taken in further
ance of the war"
Congressman Clark, who arrived
from Washington yesterday for the
chief purpose of opening the chau-
tauqua at Bronson March IS, stated
that he believed it traitorous now to
question either the wisdom of the
war or the manner in which it is be-
ing conducted.
Asked about conditions in Wash
ington, Mr.. Clark replied that the city
is crowded to the utmost, there being
fully 100000 people within its con-
fines, while its normal population is
about 350,000. Rents are abnormally
high, he said, and the "profteers"
have become so greedy in their de-
mands for increased rentals that Con-
gress is now considering and win
probably soon pass bill fixing reas-
enable figures at which rooms and
houses may be rented in the District
of Columbia. The people of the city,
with the exception of very few NAL
contents, "soreheads," and "Bolshe-
Wiki" as he calls them, are loyalty
standing behind the president in the
prosecution and management of the
war.
Congressman Clark stated that the
end of war legislation is not yet in
sight
Congress is confronted with many
weighty and vexatious problems" he
said, "and every day new conditions
arise out of which grow problems
which must be solved by legislative
enactment"
Congressman Clark will return to
Washington in about a week. He said
that his family would not come to
Gainesville before June, probably

to the people of Dunnellon for the
very kind and cordial reception given
it.
1t is not right to pass without max
ing special mention of the interest
taken by Mr.. G. W. Neville, who has
been on the board of trustees for a
number Of years and who although
engrossed in many lines Of business
activity always takes time to look
after the educational interests of the
community and to extend the glad
hand to those engaged in this work.
Prof. Feagle and all his faculty ex-
cept two were present and very at
tentive to the comforts of the visitors.
There were several carloads of
teachers and their friends from dis
tant parts of the county and it is the
desire of the members Of the associa-
tion to make it of general interest to
all the people.

MARION COUNTY AT
THE STATE FAIR
Jacksonville Metropolis

Jacksonville Metropolis)
In spite of the fact that the county
commissioners of Marion county re-
fused to appropriate funds necessary
to send an exhibit to the State Fair,
Marion county was ably represented
with an attractive display which was
assembled and brought here by Mrs.
Caroline Moorhead of Ocala, and who
is deserving of great deal of praies
for her work.
The Marion county exhibit includes
a large number of canned and pre-
served fruits and vegetables, corn and
other garden products, and is a credit
to the state, in that it demonstrates
what one woman will do when she be-
lieves she has a duty to perform, and
without the selp of those who are
supposed to do it. Mrs. Moorhead
should be congratulated for her booth
and her efforts to have Marion coun-
ty represented at Florida's great fair
and exposition, along with other pro-
gressive counties.
