Mrs. Seymour next introduced Miss
Florence Conibear, the domestic
science teacher at the Ocala high
school, and all were greatly pleased

On Her Wedding Day

IF all your life could be as bright
AS this, your wedding day,
And not a cloud obscure the light,
One happy dream always
If wish of mine could be of worth
How happy you would be,
our barque would smoothly glide
Along life's troubled sea.
I'd have you always young and fair;
You never should grow old,
And silver threads should never find
A place among the gold
Alas! How vain such wishes are!
It's not TO mortals given,
If so, we'd think too much of earth
And not enough of heaven.
Love, you know, cannot grow old,
But is always young and fair,
Tho steps falter, eyes be faded,
Furrowed brow and silvered hair
Times of gladness tinged with shade
Sunshine woven in with shade
Smiles today, but tears tomorrow,
Thus the web of life is made.
May the years that God hath willed
thee
TEEN with all that seemeth best;
May thy loved ones live to bless thee:
May they also call thee blest.
When at last you reach LIES sunset
And the Fathers call awaits,
May you both together enter
In at heavens pearly gates.
Exchange.

MEETING OF THE
WOMAN'S CLUB

The bi-monthly meeting of the
Ocala Woman's Club was called to or
Ger by the president at o'clock Sat
urday afternoon at the club house.
The minutes of last meeting were
read and approved.
Announcement was made of the ly-
.ceum entertainment to be given at the
club house at an early date.
Mrs. Perdue had requested that 80
sweaters be knitted for the members
of Co. A at Camp Wheeler, only two
weeks ago. And on last Tuesday a
shipment of AZ sweaters was made.
The program for the aftern DON was
in charge of the home economics COM
n1ittee of which Mrs. Seymour is the
able chairman, and she had so
'thoughtfully arranged her program
that every part was efficiently carried
through and greatly enjoyed by all.
Mrs. Seymore introduced Miss
Sarah Rogers, who is second vice
president of the Eastlake Weir Club.
The Ocala Woman's Club felt honor
ed in having Miss Rogers with them.
Miss Rogers was at one time superin-
tendent of city schools of Montana,
and is thoroughly trained in her
work and well versed on all subjects
pertaining to home efficiency. She
used as her subject for the afternoon,
"Dietetic Economics" Before taking
up her subject Miss Rogers laid spe-
cial stress upon the fact that every
where the world is demanding men
and women of efficiency. From the
church, school and home these men
end women are to come, to meet the
demands of the sterner and more
strenuous walks of life. Upon the
home rests the first and greatest re-
sponsibility, for it is the foundation OF
perfected or unprotected manhood. In
the home originates the basis of every
good and every evil, and that We need
to be strongly reminded that vicious
ness is akin to physical weakness. Il
is therefore the inherent, God-giver
right of every individual TO perfec'
assimilation. She said America ha:
been an indulgent, extravaganza and

was at hand, and as citizens of q great

marriage of his niece, Ruby Ann Gis-
sendaner and Mr.. Oscar Henry Ber-
ger, which took place in Montgomery,

an unusually bright and pretty young
lady and very progressive and she is
already being greatly missed here in
social circles.
Mr.. Berger is from indianapolis,
Ind, and was an honor graduate from

sence at one time, and for that reason
the wedding took place in Montgom-
lery. He has visited here several
times this winter, and made a great
many friends who truly congratulate
him.
The Star joins Mr.. and Mrs. Ber-
gers many friends in wishing them a

We notice in despatch from Green
wood that that little city had organ
ICED an army of some four hundred to
go out on fuelless Monday and cut
some cord wood or fire wood but that
the little cold and ice scared them
away. We were just thinking the
other day that if some patriotic citizen
would take the matter in hand he
might organize good army in New
berry for work of that kind on these
fuelless Mondays and we could soon
cut that wood that Mr.. J. ]. Langford
and Mr.. W. A. MsSwain and others
offered to let the town have if some
wood choppers could be sent to them
and they would pap for the chopping
The timber is close by and it would
not take any autos to carry the chopp-
ers to the scene Of action.
A thousand men in one day with
out any undue eXertlon and with
simple exercise could easily chop and
cord 500 cords Of wood and get home
for dinner. 1t is too wet and too
cold yet to start the spring gardens
and by utilizing our idle moments il
the pasttime of chopping a little fire
wood we would be helping to conserve
and to win the war.

The appropriation bill is pretty
big one and the house has not done
much toward decreasing it as it came
from the ways and means committee.
IN fact we believe that it has been in
creased and it has not yet reached
the senate. So you will just as well
remember that your taxes will not
be any less and with the federal taxes
that We are having to pay the people
will be practically working for the
government until the war is over and
for some time thereafter. And it is
necessary i'm these times and there
should be no complaining. True there
are many extrayagances in our State
government which might just as well
have been left off but they are there
and will remain.

LEWIS COMP Any
MUST PAY $4,000
FOR WEST DOCK

In a decision handed down today
Judge Maltbie of the Superior Court
finds the value of the dock property
in dispute between the H j. Lewis
Oyster Co. and Lucy T. West, and
others, to be $4,000, plus $500, the
amount originally paid for the prop
erty.
This suit was originally tried before
Judge Howard J. Curtis last Deem
Der on complaint of the Lewis Co. for
enforcement of an agreement made in
1888 between H. ]. Lewis and Pehr F.
West. West bought dock property
from Lewis, agreeing if he ever
wished to sell, to offer it to Lewis for
s., 800, plus the fair value of any i'm
provements. Mrs. West, who succeed
ed to the property, failed to carry out
the agreement, it was alleged, and
leased the property to Alexander Gptt-
Heb
Judge Curtis decided in favor Of the
Lewis Co. for a specific performance
out of the agreement, but left the
question of price to be determined by
agreement or a later hearing. Ooun-
sci were unable to agree. Judge
MatIbie heard testimony as to the
value, and finds the Improvements are
fairly valued at $4,000. He orders the
property turned over to the Lewis Co.
upon payment of these sums, if pay
ment is made within 10 days of the
decree, and no appeal interposes.
It is expected the case will be car
ried to the Supreme Court.

Milwaukee, April 3-Returns at Z
o'clock on yesterdays senatorial cleo
ton show Irvine L. Lenroot, Repubn-
can, maintained his lead over Joseph
E. Davies, Democrat With 10 coun-
ties missing and many others incom-
plete, Lenroot had a plurality of TO-
SAT.
Victor L. Berger, Socialist, was
27,769 behind Davies, according to
the latest figures.
Since the inception of the cam
paign every leader has insisted that
the loyalty of the state was being
judged by the nation. The Socialist
platform was opposed to the Presi-
dents policy of peace with victory
offered refuge for the ballots Of the
disloyal element. Patriots accepted
this vote as test, and on that basis
the state has apparently voted loyal
by three to one.
Some Of the votes lost by the Re-
publicans went to Davies because the
President wanted him, but much of
it, represented by the German eIe-
ment in the La Toilette faction, voted
for Berger, according to local analysis
The Socialist platform which calls
for with drawal Of the American forces
in France and repetition of the Boil
shevik experiment in negotiating
peace with Germany, was fully under
stood, throughout the state. Promi-
nent citizens who have felt that the
state had been misrepresented were
content to count the Lenroot-Davies
vote as loyal; that of Berger as dis
loyal.

Washington, April 3.-America can
become a composite and purposeful
nation and impose no authority other
than the compelling influence of affec-
ton, sympathy, understanding and ea-
ucation," Secretary Lane declared to-
day in an address that sounded the
keynote of a conference called to plan
the Americanization of many millions
of foreign born.
The secretary spoke to an assem-
blage of state governors, chairmen OF
state defense councils, heads of civic
organizations, Industrial leaders and
business men gathered at the invita-
ton of the Department Of the Inter
ior. A Federal legislative program
which calls for an appropriation to the
Bureau of Education is to be fully
considered and Americanization dealt
with as war measure to counteract
the anti-American propaganda among
aliens.
"Out of this conference" continued
the secretary, should come not a
determination to make more hard OF
difficult the way of those who do moi
speak or read our tongue, but de-
termination to deal in a catholic anc
sympathic spirit with those who car
be led to follow in the way of those
who cannot, other procedure must bt
applied. The keynote Of this confer
ence is Our Responsibility
To be an American, he said, wal
not to be satisfied with things as the!
are and to let things drift, but to real
ize that America to be a compact ma
ton must assimilate it's foreign born
-"Our wars have been fought by mel
of foreign BIRTH" he said. eve SCI

their names every day in the list Of
those who are dead on the battlefie1ds
Of France. There is no such thing az
an American race, excepting the In
dian. We are fashioning a new peo-
pie. In this sense we are all inter
nationalists."
In his plea for the education of
aliens and American iuiterates alike,
Secretary Lane alluded to the
s''crumpling of Russia
1.-THE cause Of the Russian disaster"
he said, was the ignorance of the
Russian people, 80 per cent. of whom
could not read or write, none of
whom virtually ever had participated
in the affairs of their own country.
If America is Not to be Prussianized,
and there is no fear Of that, we must
put into our hearts a truer applica-
ton of the things we believe America
to represent and when we say repre-
| sents, we imply that we are not the
| exclusive possessors of Americanism. -
Touching on the war and the mill
tary situation in France, the secre-
tary quoted Won Hindenburg as say
ing the first act was over.
| But it is never the first act that
tells the story" continued Mr.. Lane
THE climax comes in the closing
scene, and in that closing scene
America will play her part and it will
be a noble part. 1t is my solemn con-
viction that when success comes to
the Allied armies under Gen. Foch
it will come because of what we do
because of our men in the field and
the spirit and sacrifice of our men
and women and our boys and girls al
home"
