are fighting either in France or in
Italy for the great cause.

within the covers of your leather
bound dictionary won't help you to de-
scribe Silver Springs-you have to
see them to even understand their
beauty, and you never can understand
the forces of nature that produced
them.
From Ocala to the springs is only
a five-mile drive, and another ten
miles brings YOU to the best known
and one of the largest lakes in the
state-Lake Weir. The fame of this
lake is quite OvershadOwed by its one
rig and interesting feature The men
ton of Lake Weir Immediately sug-
cests the Carney orange grove, the
history OF which dates back to the
I eginning OF successful orange cul-
ture in Florida.
The dividing line between central
and south Florida is so intangible
that it is difficult to DECIDE where one
section leaves off and the other be-
gins. The term central Florida should
i'll .eality be used as a measuring rod
between the east and west lasts of
Fioi.G5 and not as an indicator of is
northern and southern boundaries
The climatic conditions are those of
all south Florida, with slightly vary
ing degree of GOODNESS and dryness.
From Ocala to Fort Myers it is ali
warmth and sunshine, but on the
high ground thatsslopes down to the
big lakes of this middle section the
cir has a few more degrees of ozone
than the softer air of the gulf towns.

Mrs. Ballard Writes Charmingy Of
ocala, Silver Springs and
- I akA MAR


Just off from the beaten track of
tourist travel between Jacksonville
and the Florida west coast, is Ocala.
a town that thus far has not been la
beled tourist town." though it has
all the attractive features that the
northern visitor travels far to find.
The personal story of Ocala is inter
woven with the most picturesque Pc
Rod of Florida's history.
All the destinations of boat travel
are combined in the trip that led the
traveller from Jacksonville up the St.
Johns river and Oklawaha into cen
trail Florida.
In the very heart of central Flor
ida is Ocala, and if the visitor is wise
he will make headquarters in one of
the excellent hotels till he has seen
the surrounding country and visited
the "show places" nearby. This
means a winter in Ocala. The golf
course alone is allurement enough to
keep the golfer busy for a season. Not
a sign of Florida's sand is to be seen
anywhere. Soft, short-cropped grass
covers the whole nine holes of the
links, and big spreading oak trees
shade the billy knobs that border the
course. In the center of the park is
the beautiful club house, just because
habit has made US call all abodes of
the golfer club houses, but this one
is so artistic within that one resents
this appellation. You know that the
architect must have read Richard
Prichard Heaton's Twin Fires" or he
never could have planned such a
charming living room. AT either end
of the wonderful sunlit room is an i'm
mense fireplace that would make the
Iresent-day fuel conservationist trem-
Bile with apprehension as to how 1t
could be fed. but fuel shortage never
worries the Floridian. who has unlim-
tied forests for his woodpile
The name Silver Springs seems to
foat around in the Florida air at ran
dom and the average tourist knows
just enough about them to say: "Oh,
yes, I have heard of Silver Springs"
But in the meantime he has probably
sought ticket for St Petersburg or
Fort Myers and does not realize that
he has passed by one of the most re-
markable interpretations of nature
thet exists anywhere in the whole
world. All the words vow can nnd

more to the boys and the mothers themselves
than "War Mothers" He forgets that all moth

a son to her country's cause, are working and
hoping to be VICTORY mothers. This includes
the young mother with her babe in her arms and
the grandmother whose sons long ago passed

Every true and loyal mother in all America
is a VICTORY mother!
It is different when one comes to speak OF

a boy who has left home for service, and who
may never return. One cannot keep from his
mind that service flag in the home window when
he thinks Of WAR MOTHERS. - ....... -: -
