Pay FOR Your Gasoline.

Tuesday q tourist passing thru
Holly by auto stopped at the H. B.
Garage and called for six gallons
of gasoline which Mr.. Heckethern
measured out to him. Before the
dealer got around to collect for the
gas, however, the tourist had gone.
Dad began to scratch his head
a little and made up his mind that
the tourist had departed. He
mounted his little Henry and start

tourist about six miles out where
he collected for the gasoline and al
so made the fugitive pay for

Deeply Death Of First brave
Son 10 Fall II World War.

An impressive and largely attend
ed memorial service was held at the
Presbyterian church last Sunday
afternoon In honor Of Corporal
Maerl c. Rockwell, son of Mr. and
Mrs w, r. Rockwell of this city,
who was killed in action in France
July 18th in the battle Of the Marine.
The service opened at 2:30 o'clock
in charge Of the Rev. Wiley X.
Wright, assisted by Rev. r. r.
Adams, pastor of the Methodist
church. L. NJ Appel, as former
intimate acquaintance OF Corporal
Rockwell, spoke at some length and
paid glowing tribute. to his mem
ory.
E. r. Jones of Lamar was In IT
tendance at the service a. . repre-
sentative Of the County Council OF
Defense. Mrs. e. NJ. Sherman as
Mearl's former Sunday school teach
er and the Rev Wiley X. Wright
as his pastor both delivered I'm

The service was purely . COM

A platoon OF the Lanisf Rif Clutf
ins charge of Lieut.. John R
White attended the service march
ing in body from the II b. Gar
age to the church In regular order.
The death of Corporal Rockwell
is the first real bringing of the war
home to Holly. Mearl was the first
Holly boy to enlist after war was
declared and he is the first Prov.
ers county boy to have fallen in
battle. He had made good to q
marked degree. He had for come
time been acting as regimental
observer, very hazardous posi-
tion. and on July 11th, had been
decorated by General Pershing for
exceptional bravery in the second
battle of the Marne. Only few
days before his death he had been
promoted to the position of cor
poral.
The sympathy of the entire COM
munity goes out to the bereaved
parents and other relatives in their
hour Of sorrow, and all feel this
first great shock of the war for this
section in the loss Of one of our
brave boys.

FREE SCHOOL IN TAMPA
IN TAMPA is FLOURISHING
Especial to the Starr

Tampa, March 5.-The second week
of the free school Of navigation open
ed here by the United States shipping
board finds an earnest group of STU
dents, more than 20 strong, hard at
work to master the science of navi-
cation. Inland cities as well as the
coast of Florida have contributed men
to these classes and Prof. Brown is
greatly pleased.
"Thirty entrants was sent down for
this section of Florida, from Key West
to Pensacola" Prof. Brown said today
"And before the first week was closed
there were % on the roll. Old tars
have written to me asking about the
school-and l have strongly advised
them to make application through S.
o. Larche, federal steamboat inspect
ion service, 101 Franklin street for
admission"
Students will be admitted through
out next week, Prof. Brown arranging
his hours so that he can coach them
outside of the class room hours and
lectures and in that way bring them
up with the others. The course covers
about six weeks, at the end of which
the student can stand examination for
his papers as mate or master.
As fast as men are qualified they
are listed by the United States Ship
ping Board for positions aboard the
merchant ships already flying Ameri-
can colors or to be constructed. Many
graduates of other schools have berths
aboard the merchant ships now in
government service, coastwise or
ocean-going, according to the license
for which they have qualified them
selves, at salaries ranging from S120
to $275 a month, with fifty per cent
bonus for voyages through the war
zone.

RED CROSS LECTURE

Mr.. L. o: Armstrong, recommended
by the American Red Cross lectured
at the Temple theater last night for
the benefit of the Marion county
chapter, A. r. c.
Mr.. Armstrong was introduced to
his audience by Mr.. w. T. Gary. Mr..
Armstrong first spoke of few words
in regard to the kaiser's tactics and
told who he is in league with, etc. He
also spoke short time on Canada
herself and her wonderful patriotism.
His lecture was illustrated by colored
slides of interesting places in France,
the Austrian Alps and Belgium. The
moving pictures shown were mostly
taken in Canada; however, some were
of the same volunteers we saw in
training in Canada, finally perfectly
trained regiments in England. VAL
leys, streams, rivers, lakes, woods
and snow-capped mountains were
among Mr.. Armstrong; beautifully
colored collection. On the top of one
mountain, growing IA inches through
snow and ice, were Beautiful yellow
lilies.
Although termed Canada at War;"
the lecture and pictures were not
mostly of war. They were of the
men in the first stages of their train
ing, and later shown in the trenches
and at their post, but not actual
fighting.
Mr.. Armstrong is a very interest
ing speaker and those who failed to
attend last missed rare treat in him
and his pictures of Canada beauti-
full" The crowd was a very, very
poor one, let US hope owing to the
weather, for as Mr.. Gary reminded
the audience last night, the surgical
dressings made in Ocala monthly cost
nearly $400, and the work simply can
not go on unless that amount is forth
coming. A few generous people have
offered to give a certain amount
monthly so that the Red Cross can
count on that much. If 400 such as
these would come forth and give one
dollar every month, it would greatly
simplify this matter. Mr.. Armstrong
brought the message from Mrs. Cum
mer of the forwarding warehouse in
Jacksonville that absolutely nothing
is wasted, and that If any knitted
article has to be unraveled, the yarn
| is always used again.

BACKED UP BY THE
BUTCHERS AND BAKERS
Food Administrator Work is Re-
ceiving Efficient Support
in Florida

Orlando, March 5.-Meatless and
wheatless days are going to be real
meatless and wheatless days in this
state, if one can judge from the vol
untary, patriotic effort of the dealers.
During the past week, the merch-
ants of DeLand who handle meats got
together and decided to close their
places of business on "meatless" and
"porkless" days. On Tuesdays, they
will sell no meats. and on Saturday
they will sell no pork. This action was
taken after they had been informed
as to what had been done in Duval
county, which led the movement in
Florida, and made it successful from
the start.
The plan was taken up by Hafford
Jones, food administrator for Hills
borough county, and is being worked
out successfully in that section of the
state.
]. Walker Pope, food administrator
for Polk county, has announced that
his section, or at least the larger
towns, have organized and will strict
ly observe meatless days.
George P. Morris, food admins
traitor for Alachua county, had the
greatest of success in getting the
movement started in Gainesville, and
will extend it to other towns of Ala
chua county.
Dozens of messages are received
daily by Braxton Beacham, federal
food administrator, at Orlando, an
nouncing willingness on the part of
the meat dealers to cooperate fully
by refusing to sell meats on Tuesday
and pork on Saturday. The wheat
less" days are being observed very
largely in the big towns and cities of
the state.
Mr.. Beacham is gratifed with the
responses of the people of Florida in
dicating that they are not lacking in
patriotic spirit and energetic effort in
support of the food administration.

EASTER WEEK IN THE ARMY
An Intensive Religious Program to
be Given by the Y. Nj. c. A.

Atlanta, March 5.-At the recent
conference of all camp general secre-
taries with southeastern department
headquarters held in Atlanta, it was
decided to conduct in the camps an
intensive religious program during
Easter week, ending Easter Sunday,
March 31st.
GAS Easter week commentaries
the last seven days of our Savior's
stay on this earth; likewise Easter
week of 1918 may be close to the last
week for many of our boys in khaki
and blue on this continent for many
months to come" said Associate Ex-
ecutive Secretary w. w. Alexander, a
Methodist minister of the Southern
conference, discussing the plan at the
conference. "The men soon will be
sailing overseas.
During Easter week, away from
home and church, men will be hum
gering in the camps for the proper
religious services of all creeds. Night
ly during Easter week ministers rep
resenting the various denominations
should conduct religious meetings in
the Y. NJ c. A huts, with a service
for all on Easter Sunday"
The camp secretaries have return
ed to the training camps prepared to
obtain the cooperation of the various
churches from the nearby cities ana
towns in arranging the intensive
Easter week religious program. Palms
and Easter lilies will be used in dec
Grating all Red Triangle buildings.
The last months report of the
southeastern department religious
work activities show that in the "a
camps 385, $50 enlisted men attended
the 1902 religious meetings conduct
ed in the Red Triangle huts. During
the month of January 18,470 copies
of the Scriptures were distributed
without charge, an increase of over
1000 above December, 1917, figures.
Bible classes to the number of 1915
were attended by 1854 soldiers and
sailors in the southeastern depart
ment.

SUSPECTED OF BEING A SPY

J. A. Beaumert, who has been a
lineman for the city electric plant for
the last four months, was arrested
Monday afternoon by Officer Smith,
on the charge of using seditious Ian
guage. He was turned over to the
county, and is in the county jail,
awaiting instructions from the fed
eral officials.
Beaumert's arrest is mostly due to
George Chambers. They both boarded
at Mrs. Holly's, and George couldn't
help noticing that the man was talk
ing in very unbecoming manner for
this time. He reported the case to the
mayor, and was instructed to watch
Beaumert. The latter kept up his talk,
and some of his actions were also
suspicious, so the mayor directed his
arrest under the city ordinance, in
tending however to refer the matter
to the department of justice.
Beaumert is an efficient workman,
and is probably nothing more than a
crack-brained anarchist. He has talk
ed too much for a spy-beside, there
is nothing around here to spy The
most suspicious thing about his ac-
tions is that he went to great deal
of trouble to learn the location of the
city hydrants, which is something his
work had nothing to do with.
The inside of the county jail is the
best place for Beaumert. Unknown
to him, several people had his mum
her and there was u1iet undar-
standing that if the law did not at
tend to him, vigilant committee
would.

DETERMINED WE
SHALL GO DRY
Continued Moisture, Says Henshaw,
May Mean Our Defeat in the
Present Conflict
ASSOCIATED Press)

Chicago, March 5-The demand for
immediate nationwide prohibition az
a war measure was voiced by Virgil
G. Henshaw, chairman of the national
prohibition committee, in his address
opening the thirteenth national con-
vention of that party here today.
More than a thousand delegates are
attending.
Mr.. Henshaw declared that if all
the prohibition forces in the country
pulled together, war prohibition would
be secured in ninety days. "The diff
ference between national prohibition
twelve months from now and three
years from now, might mean the loss
of the conflict between the Allies and

GET BUSY WITH
THE GARDENS
Omit No Opportunity to Raise Some
thing to Eat, Says the Food
Administration

Orlando, March 5.-United States
has urged the federal food admins
traitors of the various states, to make
a special appeal to all farmers and
stock growers, poultry growers and
gardeners, to give greater effort than
ever toward producing food supplies.
In calling attention of people of
Florida to this most important work,
as federal food administrator, I
strongly urge compliance with Mr..
Hoover's suggestions. want to i'm
press upon all, whether they have a
farm or merely small garden, that
they should at this time determine to
plant quickly and as extensively as is
possible, confning their crops to the
most essential food products, such as
potatoes, corn, beans and other, staple
crops which can be depended on to
m aintainquality and wholesomeness
for the longest period of time with
out expensive preservatives.
Growers of cattle and hogs should
go in for raising just as many ami
mails as they can properly feed and
rear to maturity. No young animals
should be slaughtered. Herds should
be increased. No productive hens
should be killed. Egg production
should be stimulated
Home gardeners who so nobly re-
sponded to the call for ''war garden
work" should add if possible to their
efforts of the past year. Every sue
cessful home garden, means much in
the matter of food supply. Home
gardening should be devoted to rails
ing not only perishable vegetables,
but especially potatoes and beans
which can be easily and inexpensively
preserved. In every community
where home garden committees have
been appointed, a new and more
strenuous campaign of education and
effort should be Immediately inaugur-
ated as the planting season is at hand
Where this work has not been de-
veloped, steps should be taken to in
stitute home garden activity.
Every foot of land converted into
food producing capacity, is that much
aid to the country. Every ounce OF
vegetable or animal food produced
helps to make US Independent OF
other states, and also helps to tighten
the burdens of transportation. Plant
early, and plant as much as you can
Do it now or as soon as seasonable
weather conditions prevail.
Raise and consume as much fresh
produce as possible, and preserve
your surplus. Braxtom Beacham,
Federal Food Administrator.
