oBEYED HIS ORDERS

Paris Wednesday (Delayed)-.Cap-
tain Schoebler. of Munich, who was
aboard the bombing Gotha brought
down on Monday night at Essones, in
the department of Seine-et-Oise, met
a dramatic end. His two companions
were burned to death, but the cap
tain managed to extricate himself
from the blazing machine and run
away from it. A French soldier saw
him and rolled him upon the ground
to extinguish his burning clothing.
General D., commanding the lines
of communication, was passing in an
automobile and took the captain to a
hospital where his condition was found
to be hopeless. Although suffering
severely from burns on all parts of
his body, Captain Schoebler showed
extraordinary self command in an
swering questions of General D..
"You had mission to perform. Had
you accomplished it or were you about
to do so?" asked the General.
81 had already accomplished it,
General"
'tYou went to Paris ?"
Eyes General"
"But, wretch You have killed
women and children!" cried the Gen.
eral.
81 had my ORDERS" was the reply.
Captain Schoebler died of his injur-
les during the morning.

INDIAN MOUND SCHOOL PICNIC

Tuesday morning, March IL, a
crowd of gay and happy young peo-
pie gathered at the Hull creek bridge,
near Lacota, to do full justice to
themselves in honor of the Misses
Colson of Cornell.
Miss Drew Colson was our teacher
at Indian Mound school for the past
term. She was a most excellent
teacher, always filling her place and
doing her duty toward the scholars,
and she won by the score friends who
will greatly miss her in and around
Lacota.
Miss Ruth Colson taught school
near Ocala and she spent the past
week here with her sister, assisting
her with the program which was rem,
dered at Indian Mound school March
9th. She is a most charming young
lady and like her sister, won much
praise and many warm friends. They
are the two eldest daughters of Rev.
Warren Colson of Cornell.
The following composed the crowd
that attended the picnic: Mr.. B. T.
Smith and family, Mr.. Claude Gates
and family, Mr.. L. w. Wilson and
family, Mr.. O'Kane and family, Mrs.
Willie Gore and family, Mr.. Wyatt
Mcdonald and family, Mrs. Clara
Gore, Mr.. and Mrs. Warren Yarbor-
ough, Miss Ruth Colson, Miss Drew
Colson, Mr.. Wade Hastings, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hatton Perkins, Mr.. o. Fl. Rog-
ers and family and Mr.. Capron Smith.
The dinner was quite success and
was spread under the giant oaks and
pines that border the banks Of the
weird stream, better known around
here as Hull creek. Mr.. B. F. Smith
offered up prayer of thanks, and we
all fell too and did justice to the
tempting viands that had been pre-
pared by the good housewives of our
neighborhood.
Everybody went away that after
noon happy and contented and we
trust that it will not be long ere we
have the pleasure of attending an
other picnic that we may all be to-
gether once more and enjoy the many
blessings which our Father in heaven
has bestowed upon US, are the wish
and prayer of A Friend.

EXPECTS OPPOSITION
But Congressman Clark has No
Doubt of His Reelection
(By Will P. Kennedy

Washington, March 22.-Congress-
man Frank Clark of the Second Flor
ida District, expects to be reelected
to Congress without serious opposi-
tion, but whether there is opposition
or not he expects to win out with
ease. That's the gist of what he has
to say about politics IN his district,
after having spent more than a week
in conferences with democratic lead
ers from every county in his district.
Congressman Clark went to Flor
ida ostensibly on important private
business" but while there did not
waste the opportunity to sound out
public sentiment in regard to his own
chances for returning to Congress.
He returned to Washington just in
time to take charge of important
war legislation in the shape Of the
100000 housing and transportation
bill for relieving congestion in the
neighborhood of industrial plants en-
gagged on war supplies for the gov
ernment.
When questioned in regard to con-
ditions in Florida, he said: 81 found
Florida in fine shape. The people are
solidly behind the president and want
the war pushed to a successful con-
Eclusion as soon as possible. Crops are
in good shape now and promise well
but rain is badly needed in some sec
tions.
"Politics? Yes, 1 talked politics
some and must say that so far as I
am personally concerned, am thor
oughly well satisfied with conditions.
I did not go into every county in the
district but / saw prominent citizens
from practically every county in the
district, and they told me there would
be no serious opposition to my return
to Congress.
"One gentleman is considering with
his friends the advisability of enter
ing the race, but whether he does or
not shall certainly be candidate
to succeed myself when the proper
time to announce arrives. I have alb
solutely no fear of the result
81 am now too busy trying to help
win the war by helping to enact good
legislation to spend time talking pol
itics and I shall trust largely to my
friends down home to take care of
my interests, and / am confident /
have more political friends today
than ever before"
