Lay expiring where he fell,
Victim to German shell
On bloody field in France,
When his writings caught the glance
Of nurse expert but pretty,
Who knelt down in tender pity
To receive his parting word.
This-alas-is what she heard:
"Send a card to little Alice,
Down in dear old distant Dallas;
Tell her / continued true,

Send a line or two to Thelma-
She's in Birmingham or Selma
Saying only this miscarriage
Could have hindered US from marriage.
There's a little blonde In Cincy-
Family name, I think, DeQuincey-
That I used to kiss-or try to
And would like to say good-by to.
Say to faithful Gladys Mary,
Pining out in Tucumcari,

ROwntree-Van Engelken

DIR. and Mrs. L. H. Van Engelken
announce the marriage of their
daughter, Marie jeanette and DR..
Joseph William Rowntree of Toronto,
Canada, which took place in Chicago,
March 18th.
DR.. and Mrs. van Engelken receiv-
ed the above interesting news in
telegram this morning, which came
as quite a surprise to them as well
as to Miss Van Engelken's friends.
The ceremony took place Monday
morning at IL o'clock in the Fourth
Presbyterian church, which the couple
had been attending together for the
past two years, and was performed
by the pastor, DIR. Stone.
This wedding was to have taken
place in Ocala last fall, but was post
poned as DIR. Rowntree entered new
field of war work in Waterloo, Iowa.
He is the director of the clinical and
roentgenological laboratories of the
Waterloo Medical Society and in also
in charge of three hospitals. During
that time DR.. Rowntree has only been
/ able to leave Iowa twice, then only
for one day, and as his duties promise
to keep him as closely confined as IN
the past, trip to Florida seemed
very far distant, so they decided to
be married as quietly as possible and
without any guests. Miss Van Engel-
II ken's parents knew they would be
married in this way, whenever DR.:
Rowntree could go to Chicago, but
did not know the date until today.
DIR. aud Mrs. Rowntree left the
same day for Waterloo, and will fol-
the present make their home at the
Hotel Elleis.
Mrs. Rewntree is the only daugh-
ter of DIR. and Mrs. Van Engelken
who came to Ocala about eight years
ago. She is a very handsome ane
charming young woman, and won
4 place at once in the hearts of all. She
was a member of the Friday auction
club, and has been greatly missed
since going to Chicago about thre'
: years ago, during which time she ha
been an active and valued worker Il
the home service department,
branch of the American Red Cross.
II A host of Ocala friends wish he
and her husband every happiness an
prosperity and hope visit from then
will be possible at an early date.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

The old year is closing up on us. The spell of Christmas joy is coming over the land. Since year ago many shadows in family and nation have been cast over us. But none have obscured the Sun of Righteous ness with healing in His wings. In joy, or sorrow, this Christmas sea son of world peace should appeal to us all. Christ's mission to earth is to bring glad tidings of good news. This good news we are having in our day. The war buggle has ceased. The ships are bringing home our val iant and victorious soldiers. The storm of the world has seemed to mass. An era like the splendor of the morning sun seems to be raising upon the earth. It is the worlds greatest age of industry and oppor- tunity. Such an age as the church never saw for living and preaching our Christ and His gospel is upon us Why not rejoice? The Bethlehem star is today attracting the attention of kings and wise men of the earth as never before The way of the cross is leading on. Christmas is the call to Bring forth the royal diadem and crown him Lord of all" May this Christmas season be His coronation time with us. The pastor wishes for all of our members and friends, glad Christmas season. Reflect upon the blessings of this closing year and rejoice for His unspeakable gift.

NOT HER FAULT

The best efforts to make home attractive sometimes fail.
 Recently a district visitor in the east end of London asked the wife of a notorious drinker why she did not keep her husband from the pub lie house.
 Well" she answered, 'I 'ave done my best, ma am, but e will go there.
 "Why don't you make your home look more attractive?
 I'm sure I've tried ard to make it look 'omelike, ma'am," was the reply. I've took up the parlor car pet and sprinkled sawdust on the floor, and put a beer barrel in the corner. But, Tor, ma'am, it ain't made a bit of difference.' .''-London Tit-Bits.

RED CROSS REPORT
 (By Mrs. J. I. Morris)


Join the Red Cross All you need is | heart and dollar.
 What your membership in the Red Cross has done to help win the war. As members of the Red Cross you are your brothers keeper. In the land where the tooth of war has bit ten to the bone where hitherto Amer ica had been only the unmeaning name of some place very far away, you have carried healing and cour- age By your membership you have given warmth to the frozen, medi- cine to the sick and food to the hun gry. and to our American soldier boys you have been the folks back home and he doesn't want to think that one quarter of you are with him and the rest does not care. He wants to know and he wants the world to know that you are with him to a man, to a woman, to a child. That is what puts heart in him and gives him standing wherever he goes.
 In the many hundreds of training camps, scattered all over the land, our boys have lain down content in the knowledge that you were there with him. On the loaded troop ship, threading it's way through death iIl- fested waters, in the tumulteous hell of many fronts, where the old Star Spangled Banner still waves, and in the wards of pain, where our dying and wounded lay, every man there has known, and has been the better for knowing, that you were there with him, and nothing he could need or want that you would not give him through the Red Cross.
 There has been no pomp in your service, no grand regalia, no trap pings of military splendor, and no martial music. Nothing, only the simple, bright, gleaming symbol of the Red Cross, and today every na- tion in the world knows it's meaning of hope and help.
 As members of the Red Cross you have been the watchmen in the long night of war, and today you can hear the questioning cry from a world weary of war. What of the night? Our own two million fighting men are over there today waiting for your united support, and remember one thing you have all got to look them in the face when they come back home, so let there be no ex- emptions. Just one great voice to sound it, and let the answering mes sage that all is well ring from every corner of Lee county.
 Remember that your membership in the Red Cross is not a gift of money. It is a gift of your faith and loyalty The Iron Cross of i'm peralistic Germany has become an thema to the Germans themselves, In their maddened rush to free them selves from their military masters. it has been torn from the breasts of home coming warriors. Spat upon and cursed by those who were taught to hold it in reverence. Today it has gone down in history as relic of barbarous militarism. The Ameri- can Red Cross, glorious and merci- ful. lives imperishable and today is calling all America to register to- gether four-square. until our boys and the flag come home.
 Join today and wear your badge of honor so when our hOyS come home you can give them the hand clasp of true friendship, and say: Boys. I was with you over there, and have helped to do my part" Don't dare to look the boys in the face when they come home unless

AT CAMP DIX
Troops at Y. NJ C. A. Hut
Hiss Narrator Off
the Stage

Camp Dix, Wrightstown, n. j.,
Jan. S1.-General Grants famous
6dict that forbade his officers tell
ing stories that could not be re-
peated in the presence of their moth
ers has an important counterpart in
General Scotts division here, where
announcement has just been made
of the demotion of a sergeant in a
New York infantry regiment who
got off a smutty yarn during a VOL
unteer entertainment given by his
company in Y. NJ. c. a. hut. Name
of the sergeant and his organization
are deleted. but officers vouch for
the facts and a bulletin posted by his
captain explains the action.
The incident occurred at a public
entertainment just before the troops
were ordered into quarantine. Ac-
cor0ing to officers, the sergeant had
volunteered to do the stunt" rep
resenting his company. The story
he told got a horselaugh or two, but
the majority of the soldiers evident
1y thought he overstepped the
bounds of decency and hissed him
off the stage. The matter came TO
the ears of officers and an investi-
cation resulted in the sergeant be-
ing stripped of his chevrons for CON
duct unbecoming a soldier"
The action reflects the determina-
ton of Army leaders to keep the
boys called to the colors clean" dur
ing their terms of service
That there is nothing prudish in
the action is shown by the bulletin
posted by the denoted under the
big-lettered caption, Discriminate"
which. after reciting the facts and
the penalty, concludes:
''It never pays to try to be popu-
lar by causing a laugh at the eS-
pense of another fellow. nor to as
sumo that soldiers like to be enter
tanned by filth. This does not mean
that this company will take up knit
ting"
