The man who invests In a good set
Of socket wrenches is doing his car a
favor. They save a good deal of time

monkey wrench comes last. 1t has a

MRS. MARY A. ROBERTSON

Mrs. Mary A. Robertson, aged 70
years, passed away at her home at
Whitney Saturday morning, and was
laid to rest in the cemetery at Lone
Oak, near Leesburg, Sunday.
Mrs. Robertson was native of Al
ALBANIA, but came to Florida with her
family many years ago, since when
she has lived at Whitney. She was a
woman who had endeared herself to
all who knew her, and her passing
was deeply mourned by the many
friends she had made in her long and
useful life.
Mrs. Robertson was the mother of
seven children, among who were
Messrs. John d. and S. Lanier Robert
son of this city. They were devoted
to their mother, leaving nothing I'M
done to comfort and cheer her declin-
ing days, and their friends deeply
sympathize with them in the sorrow
caused by their bereavement.

SEPARATING THE GOATS
FROM THE SHEEP

The good book tells that in the day
of judgment the goats will be separ-
ated from the sheep. but something
almost as searching is liable to hap
pen in America long before the last
trump sounds.
While our people have not moved
into war with the machine like regu-
larity of Germany, while they are
having to be educated to their respon-
sibilities, they are learning fast, and
the inevitable result will be that they
will decide that those who are not
with them are against them, and that
those who are with them must prove
their faith by their works.
A number of Liberty Loan commit
tees all over the country have decid-
ed to publish the names of those in
their communities who buy Liberty
Bonds, and how much they buy, and
it is likely that after reasonable
time has elapsed they will publish the
names of those who should buy and
don't.
This policy may also be followed by
the Red Cross. There is strong SEN
timent in Ocala in favor of both, and
it is very likely the sentiment will
take concrete shape in the next week
or two.
At first view. both these moves
will seem to receive some impetus
from intolerance. AS we all know,
there are many worthy, patriotic and
self-sacrifcing Americans who can't
buy bonds, and can give but little
help to the Red Cross, because they
have the suffering of their own to look
after. But all such people are gener-
ally too well known to their friends
to be thought of unjustly for such a
reason.
On the other hand there are many
whosare able to largely buy bonds and
strongly help the Red Cross, but who
on the strength of the purchase of a
$50 bond or the donation of single
dollar will mount buttons and parade
as patriots as much-generally far
more-than those who deny them
selves and give till it hurts.
All the people of America must en-
list in this war. Those who can't
fight must work or pay. Those who
can't pay themselves can help those
who can and will. No Stacker has a
right to crouch in ease and safety be-
hind a rampant of fighting, working,
suffering men and women. There be-
ling no legal punishment for them, the
lash of public contempt will be laid
on the shoulders of the shirkers and
the titewads.

MRS. W. S. JOHNSON

The funeral services of Mrs. w. S.
Johnson, which were held yesterday
at the residence of her sister, Mrs
G. I. Maughs. where she has for
many years made her home, were
very largely attended.
Mrs. johnson had not been in the
best of health for several years, and
had been failing rapidly for the past
year, and was desperately Ill for the
past four weeks. She died at seven
o'clock Saturday evening.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. G. A. Ottmann, rector of
Grace Episcopal church. Misses Min
ME and Lou Gamsby and Messrs. C. S
Cullen and George Pasteur sang her
favorite hymns, "Abide With Me" and
LEAD Kindly Light" The pallbearers
were Messrs. G. R. Tydings, W. M
Gober, N. r. Dehon, o. B. Howse, A
G. Gates and F. T. Schneider.
Mrs. Johnson led such quiet and
unassuming life that not many out
side her intimate circle of friends
really knew what a beautiful, unself-

greeting will be sorely missed by
many.

friends, which was just as she would
have liked it to be. The casket was

Our friend Bloom of the Lakeland

is printing it in the Polk county pap

he is handsome, but he has a straight

a mouth and chin that generally goes
with a firm and aggressive character.

ears, but if we did we'd probably have
him to fight first time we met. Bloom
is a candidate for representative, and
following are some of the things he
