A letter just received by Mrs. Eliza

| that malicious rumors have been
started to the effect that the govern
ment intends to requisition or confls-
cate a certain portion of the foods
canned in homes; and that another
false rumor states that home canned
food is to be heavily taxed by the fed

National Leader Benson asks that

wishes families to continue the storing
of food by this means.
A letter written by Captain w. j.
Potter, Last years instructor in COM
merce and finance at the State College,
was today received by President E. o.
J Holland, from the base hospital in
Vichy, France, where Captain Potter
is suffering from wounds received in
the battle of the Argonne forest.
Captain Potter states that his COM
pany, composed largely of Washing
ton boys, made name for itself in
this battle by capturing two hundred
of the famous Prussian guards, many
machine guns, and one or. He says
his command suffered severely "but
that was to be expected" On the 28th
of September he was hit but not put
out of action by shrapnel The next
day he was hit by machine gun fire
through the lung. Since then, accord
ing to his statement, he has been lying
still at the base hospital, slowly re-
covering.
Captain Potter warmly praised the
young Washingtonians in his COM
mand, whose days, courage and skill
in the battle were too much for the re-
doubtable Prussian guards opposing
them.
From f. NJ Bailor. fermer instruc-
tor in education here, and now sta

That the necessity for food produc

We are deeply sensible Of the spec
ial Importance at this time OF all
health work and particularly of the
effort put forth in the prevention and
cure of tuberculosis and in the edu-
cation Of the public in regard thereto.
The action of the War Council is
prompted by the sincere desire to in
sure, so far as may be, the mainten-
ance and development of your work
during the coming year, rather than
to have it's support contingent upon
the usual sale of Christmas Seals at 4
time when, however worthy the cause,
the country is being asked to consider
so many important appeals to it's SYM
pathies and resources.
We are entering into this arrange
ment as a wartime measure and spe-
officially for the year 1919. We can in
good time consider what will be best
in succeeding years.
Cooperation in COmpaign.

We shall advise our local Red Cross

CHRISTMAS SEALS TO ALL.

The American Red Cross has con-
cluded an arrangement with the Ma
which the Red Cross appropriates
$2,500,000 to aid in the anti-tubersl'lo-
sis work of the National Tuberculosis
Association and allied associations
hitherto supported by the sale of
Christmas Seals. The usual sale of
Christmas Seals will be omitted this
year, but each Red Cross member will
be awarded ten Christmas Seals en-
closed in a small folder which will
contain educational matter regarding
tuberculosis. The Red Cross Christ
mas Roll Call will be supported by all
the tuberculosis associations. Details
of this arrangement are set forth In
the following letter passing between
Henry P. Dawson and DR.. Charles j.
Hatfield, managing director of the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association:
DR.. Charles j. Hatfield, 3s1 Fourth
Avenue. New York City.
Dear Mr.. Hatfield:

lions for the year 1919.

In some localities the influenza cpl
demic Is increasing making the quar-
antine restrictions more drastic, but
these are isolated cases. In the coup-
try at large there is a marked decrease
in the malady, and it is generally felt
that the great epidemic has about run
its course. When the returns are all
in it will probably be found that this
has been the most fatal epidemic that
has ever visited the country, and had
1t not been for the war its presence
would have come near creating a

1t is given out that President Will
sons fourteen points as a basis for
peace with Germany will be accepted
at the peace conference in consider
ing the terms to be granted. It is
possible that one of the objects of Mr..
Wilson's trip to Europe to be present
at the conference is to interpret some
of these fourteen paragraphs that are
somewhat foggy in the reading

Much unfavorable comment has
arisen over President Wilson's avowed
intention of going to France to be
present at the peace conference, but
that has made no change in his plans
He expects to leave next week and
will be absent from the country for
six weeks. He has not as yet given
out the names of those he has selected
to accompany him to the conference.

With the end OF the big trouoble In
Europe it looks as though the world
was not to be wholly deprived of the
excitement OF war. Just at the pres
ent time relations between Chile and
Peru are strained to the breaking
point, and those two South American
republics may resort to the sword
figuratively speaking as the SWORD Is
rather an archaic weapon OF warfare
nowadays, in order to settle their dli-
ferences. Even If the southern ma
tons come to blows 1t will be rather
a puny affair as compared with the
recent world war, yet it will create
misery enough for the people engag-
ed, as war spells misery no matter
on how small a scale the fighting may
be conducted.

The Spokesman Review, in an edi-
torial on the treatment of British
prisoners by the Germans. mentions
the hanging by Federal authorities
after peace was declared of Wirz, the
omcer IN charge of Andersonville pris-
on during the civil war, and states
that his crimes were slight in COM
parison with those of certain German
commanders of prison camps. This
is true enough, but without any de-
sire OF reviving the horrors of nearly
80 years ago let it be said that the
treatment meted out to Union prison.
ers at Andersonville was one of the
most appalling instances of inhuman-
ity of record, and at the time disgust
ed civilization. Thousands of men
died OF starvation and neglect, and
many were wantonly murdered with
out provocation. As young lad we
saw some of those returend prisoners
from Andersonville, and more
shocking sight could not we'll be i'm
agined. AS an indication of what could
be expected from people of the same
nativity, whenever the opportunity
presented, 1t can be said that the man
who instigated, encouraged and car
ried out these unspeakable enormities
was German, and when he was
properly hanged for his crimes no
word Of protest was entered by the
people of the south. The same fate
should be melted out to every COM
mander of a German prison camp.
Indeed speedy hanging would be
blessed and comforting means of re-
moving those criminals. What they
deserve is treatment similar to that
inflicted upon the prisoners under
their charge, and some of those pris-
oners should be detailed to do the in
flicting. In that case the infiicting
would be carried out thoroughly. II
the brutes survived the retaliatory
treatment then there would be time to
do the hanging.

LAKE WEIR CLUB

At nc time since the Lake Weir
has there been more enjoyable time
than last Saturday The occasion was
the annual fish fry and picnic given
by DR. and Mrs, F. P Herr for the
club and their visitors The picnic
grounds were ideal lovely pine
and sWeetgum grove extending to the
lake with card tables and everything
for the pleasure and convenience OF
the club, Two charcoal furnaces
were in operation to fry the rs or 100
fine trout and speckled perch caught
in Lake Weir by DR. Herr, Mr. ]. H.
Bradford, Mr. George Crum and Mr.
&c E Connor After a bountiful din.
ner and several cOrnet patriotic solos
were beautifully rendered by Mr.

it $25 or $1,000, and will start the ball /

ran up to $73 and Mr. Rheinauer glad
ly gave a check for the remaining
$27 to make it an even hundred. After
three cheers were given to DR.. and

all adjourned in a happy frame of

afternoon iced tea and cake was
served.
A number of very attractive cakes
were ratified, which brought a nice
sum for the Red Cross. There was
one especially attractive cake and to
guess what was in this cake each one
was charged five cents and the one
guessing correctly was to have the
cake. No one succeeded in guessing
what was concealed in this cake-on
investigation it proved to be a very
tiny electric light. This cake (as no
one won it, was later ratified.
A number of ladies, members of the
branch, were busy during the after
noon packing boxes of supplies for the
Red Cross.
At this delightful party forty-seven
dollars was realized for the benefit
of the Red Cross so besides being so
very pleasant this party was equally
financially successful

BIG MEETING FOR FARMERS

/ On Thursday, April 4th, at 1870 D.
M, in the Temple theatre at Ocala.
Mr. Clarendon Davis will speak to the
business men and farmers of Marion
county
Mr.. Davis comes as a personal rep
resentative of the government and
brings a message direct from the gov
ernment to us
AS the war goes on and Americas
part becomes more difficult, the
necessity of every individual under
standing the real needs of the gov
ernment becomes more apparent.
Mr.. Davis will tell US what the gov
eminent expects of the people of
Florida as their part in carrying on
this war. The successful prosecution
of the war depends upon every man
doing his allotted share Mr. Davis
will tell US what we must do to make
an early and complete victory.
AS many farmers as possible should
come and hear Mr. Davis. At least a
delegation from every community
should be present to hear and carry
back this message
