TIE w. S. S. WORK IN
FLORIDA MAKES ADVANCE

Jacksonville, Sept. 18.-Palm eBach
was the first county to report over
= subscription of its quota Of war say.
! ings stamps in the drive held last
week, according to a statement issued
from the office fthe state director
/ today. The exact figures from the
Palb Beach drive have not yet been
received.
Information comes from a number
of other counties indicating that they
have either reached their quota or
very close to it and that they win
raise the amount assigned to their
county by January J..
The reports received by the state
director are very encouraging, and
caused him to raise his estimate of
! the maount that Florida will absorb
in war savings stamps during the
year 1t is pointed out that the
amount was tremendous for the first
year OF the campaign, which is large
ly educational in it's nature, and, ev-
erything considered, the state direct
or is very much pleased with results
, thus far.
1t is expected that the greatest &C,
tiVity in the sale of war savings
stamps will come during the last three
months fthe year, October, Novem-
Der, and December
During the liberty loan campaign
in October it is expected that great
stimulus will be lent to war savings.
and at the close of the liberty loan
campaign renewed effort will be made
to put every count yin the state over
the top.
Experience during the last year
has indicated that it will be neces.
sary for a Encouragement of quotas
in the various counties next year. and
this will probably be done. There
has been an inclination OF population
to migrate to the principal seaport
towns where there are shipbuildine
and other war activities, and in such
instances the increased population
will be assigned to such communities
Registration figures in Jacksonville
on September IL indicated a large in
flux Of workmen to the metropolis
and the quota for Duval county viii
undoubtedly be increased during mex.

DIFFER OVER ORIGIN OF DOG
Ancestor Has Long Been Mat
ter of Dispute.

The ancestry of the dog has been
the occasion of much controversy, ac-
cording to Leo S. Crandall's book,
pets" Many naturalists have con-
sidered that 1t is descended from a
single ancestor, such as the common
wolf of Europe. Darwin, however,
leans toward the theory of multiple
origin, and advances much convincing
proof In support of his belief. 1t is
widely known that many savage tribes
have dogs. which appear to be simply
half-tamed representatives of the par
tlcular wild doglike animals inhabiting
the same regions.
The dogs of the American plains In
dams closely resemble the small prai-
RE wolf, or coyote; the husky of the
north country is plainly not far re-
moved from the gray wolf the Ger
man sheep dog and the Samoyede are
strikingly wOlflike In appearance.
Whether our present dogs are the re-
suit of crossing these many simple
derivatives of wolves and jackals
among themselves, or whether there
was an original ancestral dog, now ex
tinct, with which the blood Of other
species has become mingled, we have
not yet been able to determine, though
so many primordial animal remains
have come to light.
According to st. George Mivart, the
dingo is the only wild dog still exist
ing which meets the requirements of
an ancestor of our modern breeds.
This species is found throughout Aus
tralia and fossil bones which have been
found show It's presence there from
very early times.

CORRECTING A
GRCUNDLESS REPORT

During the past three weeks a
number fmy friends have stated to
me that report is being circulated
that ] am going to leave Ocala and
move 70 Jacksonville At first the
idea of such meve on my part seem
ed so absurd that | cast it aside as
one would joke, but after a number
Of friends approached me, the matter
has taken on q different phase and I
feel that in justice to my friends, my
business and myself that l should
take this method of correction the,
absolutely groundless report. Such a
mOce has never once entered my
mind and to me it seems would be O
more than foolish move. Why should
/ think of leaving Ocala? l find no
answer to the question, while on the
other hand I see every reason why l
shout remain here-my native home,
where have liivied from my child
hood up-where I have established
a business of which I am justly proud
in the city and the county second to
none in my opinion in the state and it
affords me great pleasure to call
Ocala and Marion County home, and
here ! expect 20 remain and continue
to build my business on the same
lines and principles as has been my
policy heretofore: upon the solid
foundation of honest dealing, honest
merchandise and endeavoring to give
to every customer one hundred cents
in value for every dollar receive.
To give up my business here and go
elsewhere would be like one who has
stIiven with all fair means to win a
coveted prize and when it's won he
casts 1t away and seeks to win an
other. Such man is foolish. am
not. My business has been one Of
steady, conservative growth. There
has been no reason for me to cry
hard times and no one has heard me
cry nor will they. AS evidence of my
faith in Marion County, Ocala and
myself, I have now the largest stock
! 0 fmen's and boys ready-tc-wear
garments, clothing, shoes, ETC., than
ever before contracted for fall deliy-
cry, which will be delivered, bought
long since and at prices that could
not touch the same values today, and
] intend to sell at proportionate saw
ing to my customers No store in
Ocala can show the varied assert.
ment of dependable merchandise for
men and boys that this store has and
will display for fall and winter.
Thanking my customers and friends
for their very loyal patronage and
with a cordial invitation tos come and
see me at the same old place, and as
surfing them of my earnest and faith
ful efforts to please and give a fair
exchange of the best to be had in
merchandise for men and boys. At
times, it ia pleasant to visit in other
cities, but for home and business.

DID WORK OF HIGH ORDER
Designs Wrought by Ancient Peruvian
Dyers Have Been Given Much
Praise by Experts.

The ancients of Peru, by curious
coincidence-for there could not pos
sibly have been any intercourse with
their contemporaries in India and
Egypt-seem to have used much the
same kind of processes in printing
their designs upon the fabrics they
manufactured. Both Herodotus and
Pliny, among early historians, have
told us about the cloths of vegetable
fiber made BY the ancients; but In all
likelihood the fabrics of the Peruvians
were Of even a more remote date. In
some respects the methods Of today
bear strong resemblance to the older
practice. The chief difference con-
sists in the patterns now being en-
graved upon copper rollers and several
colors being printed at one time. Just
as today the coloring matter Of dyes
is not affixed by merely printing it on
the material, but is secured by means
Of substance known as mordant, SO
did the Peruvians- make use Of prop
erty which caused the dye to adhere
and to withstand test Of thousands
Of years wear and tear. Experts have
declared that in the direction Of tech
nical and artistic value the designs in
question have no equal.
