Mrs. L. H. Van Engelken's friends
regret to hear that she is suffering
from a badly infiamed wrist. The
muscles of Mrs. Van EngeIken's
wrist have been swollen at several
different times and once the cause
was constant piano playing. The
swollen condition of her wrist is now
the result of knitting. Mrs. Van En-
eelken is quite lost without the Red
Gross knitting that she has been so
faithful to for the last few months,
so she will now do her "bit" by wind
ing the Red Cross yarn, which only
takes hand movements. Any one de-
string their wool wound may send or
take same to Mrs. Van Engelken.
Oak motored to 0cala yesterday
bringing their three-year-old son,
Raymond to an Ocala physician for

veloped him, badly burning his face,
neck and arms, and a few slight
burns on his body. His eyelashes and
lids were not injured. While his in
juries are very painful they are not
considered serious, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Murphy returned home with him in
the afternoon.
Miss Susie Catherine Edwards of
Manchester, Ga, arrived in Ocala

successful In Manchester and Chatta-
nooga. She came to Ocala owing to

Huns ARE ON THE RUN BUT
NOT TOWARD PARIS SAYS HAL

Mr.. A. s. Exter. Gunnison, Colo.
France, August l4th, 1918.
Dear Dad:
As have lots of time and no work
to do. will try to tell you Of some
of my doings the past week.
We are back from the front, now,
and getting our rest, and believe me,
I it's a treat
| cannot tell the size of our guns,
but suffice to say artillery work Is not
the easiest in the world. We have
made a good showing, as have al. the
| A. E. F., and we are not only proud
TO say it, but glad we had a chance.
| | could write quite book on the work
of it, if it were possible, but you have
read it day by day in the Post or
some other good authority. so it would
not be new anyway.
Wherever our battery has been we
have made it most uncomfortable Zoe
the Boche. Your old Rio Grauds
dredger hasn't anything on us when
it comes to eXcavating along the
roads. Fritz travels.
Ii was our pleasure to travel over
some of the ground we had shelled,
therefore we know we did good .ob.
One of our outdoor sports has
been to watch air fights between the
Huns and our own aviators. have
seen several planes fall-shot down
and quite a number of observation ba-
looms came down in flames after the
observer had jumped into the para
chute.
When we first went on the line,
German helmet was worth while, but
now we never r.y any attention to
them.
One day we saw several German
helmets with holes in the back of them
made by rifles, showing that Heinie
was not headed for Paris.
Herb is still on the job. AMI a big
job it is too, at Camp ncSange.
haven't heard from him for couple
of weeks, but expect to soon.
Heard good lecture yesterday by
DR.. VanDyke, brother of Henry van
Dyke. 1t was certainly good.
Well, l must close as it is most time
for mess. Don't worry about me, for
III be o. X. and home soon.

TO THE GIRL HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATES OF 1918

Just at this time you are probably
trying to decide how you can best
serve your country. The Government
has practically decided for you and its
answer is that you shall go to college
if it is possible for you to do so.
The War Department is urging boys
to go and be trained for service and
thus multiply their value to their
country. Are not women. too, to do
their share? Their part now is kept
more in the background, but it is no
less important; or rather it is all inn
portant.
Do not think, therefore, that for
you education is thing for the time
being to be lightly postponed. If You
cannot go to college, you can serve;
but if you have the opportunity to
train your mind to greater keenness
and effectiveness and to develop 1
broad and sane view of life,-is this
an opportunity to be neglected!
The Country needs educated
young women as well as men. Stu
dents War Service Committee there
forr urr,s upon you, as it does upon
every other young woman who can
70. tho need OF your going to college
this tall.
Yours very truly,
