able to say were once members of
this class. We were fortunate how
ever in having three new members en-
list in this our Senior year, bringing
the membership up to the present
number, seventeen. Among these new
recruits was Dixenia Roberts, an am
bilious girl, who left the Junior class
and studied all summer at Gainesville
IN order to be among us today. She is
lovable, modest girl, with voice as
soft and sweet as she is pretty. She
has society manner of reciting, which
has won the favor of the teachers, and
is girl who is always ready to do
one favor. She is student in every
respecr, and one that we were more
than glad to receive into our class.
Blanche Horrell, from Arcadia, was
the second welcome recruit. She is
girl with wonderful disposition and
most winning ways and is full OF
quaint sayings and expressions. A
good arguer, and when she and a
friend differ on a question there is not
even standing room for spectators.
She has most wondrous eyes, into
whose depths one might fall and never
touch bottom; the infant of our class,
but one with much common sense
Last, but not least, comes Harold
Talbot, our fountain of wisdom, and
the pride of the history class. Talbot
knows and can give advice on any sub
ject at any time, and can be relied
upon In emergencies, such as answer
ing questions when Mr. Cassels sud
denly surprises US by bringing in a
visitor. He is slow talker, compared
to whom a Sphinx is rapid-fire talk
ing machine, but usually has said
something when he has finished.
Thus ends the summary of the his
tory of this class, and now as it is all
over, and the hour of parting draws
nearer, old memories, the friendships,
the good times of the years gone be-
fore, come crowding upon US and we
have feelings within US that words
cannot express.
We have come to realize how much
there is yet to learn, and to wish that
we had used to a better advantage
the opportunities and advantages that
we have had before US in order that
we might better perform the tasks
which will be ours. We can but hope
that we have left our mark upon the
school, as it has most assuredly left
its mark upon US. May we, the class
of 1918, be remembered in the Ocala
High School.

Birmingham, Ala, seems to be quite
warm little town. All the restau-

wheat products until after the next
crop was gathered, and that one was
mobbed and had to shut up. A tray
cling man spoke roughly to two
Red Cross ladies and in consequence
had to carry a Stacker banner all
around town, and was finally lodged
in Jail.

EXTEND PRESENT HOSPITALS FOR
 SOLDIERS CARE
Better Plan Than Convert ing Army Posts to That
 Purpose.

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 24-Ad- dressing the opening session of the convention of the American Hospital Association here today Dr. Arthur B. Ancker, St. Paul. Minn., advocated the extension and development of ex- isting civil hospitals under govern ment direction for the care of re- turned soldiers, instead of the present plan of using converted army posts and Federal Hospitals and also the building and equipment of special military hospitals.
 This he said, would seem to be con- sistent with economy and with efffcf- ency of service to both the civil and military hospitals.
 Dr. Ancker urged the adoption of the report of the special committee to consider a plea of reorganization for the association, mot only because it will make possible an association of American Hospitals to promote the in- terests of hospitals and hospital work" not only because it will mean more effective war service organiza- tion, but because it paves the way for real effective hospital standardization.

Late today word came from the Salonica front that they have cut the Uskub- Salonica railway. have established themselves on the west bank Of the Vardar, and there have cut the Grad -Prilep line, which success leaves Prilep, the main Bulgarian base, prac- tically at their mercy.
 On the west front the British and French scored new gains in their pincer offensive against St. Quentin. Further north Byng's Third Army has become so threatening to Cambrai that the Germans late yesterday were reported to have begun the evacuation of that city.

ALLIED AIR RAIDS
 ARE REPORTED AS VERY DESTRUCTIVE

London, Sept 24-The increasing destructiveness of Allied air raids is attested to by German prisoners. generally be treated with reserve, there is evidence that this particular information is very near the truth.
 Valenciennes Station was heavily bombed by British airmen recently. 4 prisoner subsequently stated that for d number of days following the raids trains were unable to pass through Valenciennes as a. big engineer dump had been hit and barrels of oil and explosives were burning and blowing up.
 4 raid was made upon an ammuni- tion dump near Marais Wood, and several photographs taken during the raid showed the explosion. A party of prisoners captured later volunteer ed the Information that the dump blew up and that the moral effect was enormous.
 A prisoner is responsible for the statement that not long ago an am munition train was hit and blew up in Valenciennes, a fact which fully confirms the British official report that direct hits were obtained upon a moving train at Valenciennes on tho night of May 31.
 Still another report by a recently captured German prisoner records that saw-min at Somain managed by a German and employing 150 workmen was completely destroyed, as the result of an air raid. Soma;', was bombed by British airmen.

 QUESTIONS FOR
 CENSUS TAKERS
Four Questions Not on Card Added By State Council
 of Defense.

Considered essential to the registra- tion of women for industry which 5000 Minute Women are making to- day and for the next three days, are four questions in addidtion to those on the card used for registering the women from 16 to 60. These ques- tions have been numbered from 1 to 1 and workers were instructed at the High school meeting last night to put the numbers on the back of all cards the answer
 The questions are:
 l. What are the ages of your chil- dren under f6?
 ?. How many children require your immediate personal care?
 3. How many adults require your immediate personal care?
 4. Is your health good or bad?
 These questions were added to the card after mature delibeTation and recommendation on the part of the State Council of Defense, which had in mind the experience of Great Britain.
 The registrars are expected to ask the question under each number and set down the answer opposite the number. Such answers would be re- corded as follows in a family where there are three children and an adult needing care:
 1.---3, G. g.
 2.---Three.
 3.---One.
 4.---Good.
 All these questions are in addition to those on the card. Minute Women shouldab sure to put down the num- bers and the answer to each question.
