Close to Nature.

In the great analysis of things,
real life is made up of the simple
things, generosity, kindliness, for
giveness, sympathy and human un-
derstanding. In no field of endeaver
is there 40 much need of this real life
as upon the farms. Good common
sense, character and integrity tue
farmers have and in quality the
equal of that to be found in any
other sphere of life. Always close
to nature they partake of natures
wonderful fountain of the things
that are best.
1t is only when we draw apart
from nature that we become obsess-
ed with the things that are not best.
Holding close to nature we keep
close to each other. The whole
philosophy of human brotherhood
is based in human understanding.
As we come to understand each
other better we realize how depen-
dent we are, one upon the other;
that in number of minds there is
apt to be wider knowledge than
is possessed by one mind; that CO.
ordinated they will plan the future
better, solve vexing problems more
easily, accomplish more by building
with each other than pulling against
each other. Cooperation, these days,
is the key to progress.--Farm and

FORK since he returned from France.
Secretary Of War Baker declared at
the dinner OF the American News
, paper Publishers Association at the
Waldorf that Germany can only be
answered by force. lie gave cordial
| support to a stirring plea made earlier
in the evening By Charles Evans
Hughes for a decisive military vio-
tory, for full publicity about the war
and frank criticism Of the Govern
mont's conduct OF It. Mr.. Baker
added ne did not want to win q

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels, who
preceded Mr.. Hughes. urged the full
est possible discussion OF every act

There Is no answer to the German
doctrine in soft words. There Is no
answer to the German people in any
words. In the first place, words can
not reach them. That is a part OF
their civilization. And in the second
place, their ears are stopped with the
dust OF pride and an indurated edu-
cational system has foreclosed their

FURs COMMAND HIGH PRICES
More Than Ever Are Pelts Of Animals
Coming to Be Considered Arti-
cies 81 LUXURY.

The high cost of living has desfr-
able running mate in the high cost Of
ornamental wearing apparel which has
suddenly dawned in another article
climbing up to price never dreamed
of in the luxury of adjoining ones self
with a pelt of some favorite animal
skillfully made up for the trade.
For instance, the coyote has jumped
I'm raw state to as high as $40 and
not lower than Sc. The detestable
skunk of odoriferous renown, also clips
$3.50 for his covering. while the Wild
cat is now In a rating as high as $3.50
and as low as 81. The little fox goes
for $3.50, and even the jack rabbit
leaps away at cents per pelt.
The above prices were given In a
circular received by J. n. Drew, and
came from ST. Louis furrier house.
The legal bounty in Arizona is only 50
for the coyote and lesser sums for the
fox and wildcat. In consequence, the
county is receiving at the present time
but limited number of pelts, and the
animal department is practically abol-
ished. Meatless and wheatless days
ordained will soon include h.deless
days, unless peace negotiations are
soon realized.-Prescott Journal-Miner.

IN GIVES AGAIN

After having fully done his duty on
the battlefield and in the camps, and
seeing that there was no more oppor-
tunity for fighting in this war, Lieut..
Leslie Anderson has resigned his
commission, snapped his uniform for
civics and returned to everyday life.
Lieut.. Anderson is the first to re-
turn of that band of brave and intelli-
gent young men who left Ocala for
officers training camps in May. 1917,
and who honored their home commu-
nifty by, without exception, winning
commissions; and it is not out of place
to say that the pace they set at the
training camp was never slackened.
Lieut. Anderson, with his two
brothers, and several other young
men from Ocala went to Camp Nc
Pherson early in May, 1917. He re-
ceived his commission as second lieu
tenant in the field artillery Aug. Is,
and Sept. 8 he left for France, where
he Immediately was enrolled at the
artillery school at Saumur, where he
was instructed by the best of French
and American artillerists until Jan.
l of this year. He was then assigned
to active duty with the Fifth Field
Artillery, which was attached to the
first division of the regular army, and
served in the Toul sector until the
great German drive began in March.
His division was sent to Picardy and
located near Montdidier. 1t fought in
the battle of Cantigny, the first in
dependent American action of any
size, May %. In July the First divis-
ion was sent to make a flank attack
on the Germans in the Marine salient,
and took an active part in the opera
tions that drove the Germans out of
the salient. This battle was fought
by our First and Second divisions and
by a Moroccan French ColeniaD di-
vision
Having distinguished himself by
proficiency, Lieut.. Anderson was sent
home to help instruct new troops. He
reached America Sept. 18. and was
assigned to Camp Kearney, Calf. On
his way to California, he paid a visit
to his home here, and gave our peo-
pie the first first-hand information
from an Ocala man who had been on
the battlefield. Reaching Camp
Kearney, he was assigned to the
48th Field Artillery of the Sixteenth
Division, and acted as brigade in
structor; also as battalion adjutant.
The Sixteenth Division was booked to
start for France Dec. 18, but it was
not long after the armistice was sign
ed that it became obvious no more
troops would go that way, and the
war department began to disband the
men in the training camps. Lieut..
Anderson therefore resigned and
came home. His friends are very
glad to have him with them again and
are proud of the splendid record he
has made.
