The Letter
Somewhere in Franc.

Ny Dear Mother: | am about to
go into battle and have instructed
the company clerk to send you this
letter in case I become a casualty,
hence the receipt of this letter by
you will indicate that / am either
with God or a prisoner in the hands
of the enemy. Since I viii never be-
come a prisoner of the Huns, if / re-
main conscious and able to fight, it is
doubtful if / viii ever be an inmate of
a German prison camp.
Do not grieve that | am among the
missing, but rather rejoice that you
have given a son in sacrifice to make
the greatest military caste of all
times lay down the sword, to save
civilization, to prevent future wars,
to punish the Huns4who have dis
regarded every law of God and man
kind, whose only God is the god of
war and military force-and to make
the world safe for democracy. / de-
sire that you view the matter in the
light and spirit of the Spartan moth
ers of old, who, when their sons went
forth to battle for freedom and their
native land, said to their sons:
Either come home proudly bearing
your shield before you or upon it. "
War was absolutely necessary on
the part of my country, and, although
I was 81 years old and nobody ex-
pected me to go, yet some one had to
go; some one must make the sacri-
fee; some mother must lose her son.
In the light of these facts and
knowing cur country's great need, I
volunteered and have never for one
moment regretted my decision, and
] viii not, although my life and the
useful career must end. Life is not
the highest boon of existence There
are ideals that are super human, In
terests greater than life itself, for
which it is worth while fighting, suf-
fering and dying.
If possible, after the war, / would
like for my remains to be brought to
America and inferred at White Hall.
/ have provided well for your sup
port, as have a $4,000 insurance
policy with the government and sew
eral thousand with the old line COM
panier. Ny friend, Thompson, and
Jess have these policies and other
valuable papers.
Goodbye, mother; will see you
in the next world You may know
that died fighting for you, my coun-
try, and all that life holds dear.
Your son, Adrian.

There id 4 lemon famine in Ocala,
and perhaps all the rest of the coun-
try. Nearly all our lemons come from
Sicily and Spain and IN consequence
of Teutorl submarines they are scaEce.
Floridians could raise their own lem
ons, and If they had set out fair
number of groves a few years ago
they could be coming money from
them now.

priced comrades On the border: Lieut..
Lawrence was sergeant in A Com
pany on the border and attended the
first training camp at Fort McPher-
son. He was d favorite with all of the
boys in Company A, and was general
~ called the Society Guy on account
of his neatness at all times, even on
patrol duty. He was member of the
Ocala Rifles for nine months. He en-
listed at Black Point when we were

ANIMAL ACTS OF CIRCUS
MEET WITH APPROVAL

sAll Of the marvellous wild and
domestic animal acts to be seen in
Bemidji June "a with Yankee Robin-
sons big three-ring circus have met
the approval and admiration Of
thousands Of visitors to the show
this season. However, besides this
entertaining program the circus is
the only tented enterprise on the
road that has installed electric f<ns
for the comfort Of the auditors, as
the side walls are raised this insures
a breezy tent during the long enter
tanning program. M.
The big street parade uses only
open cages and dens, exhibiting free
over one hundred wild animals which
is a rare treat for the children and
all our country visitors. The many
bands Of music in this parade are
al massed when giving the big show
program and it is likely no circus
ever had more or better skilled mu-
sicians than this, same old Yankee
Robinson show. Another thing, for
the night exhibitions the two cleo
trio light plants, carried by the show
make the circus grounds as light as
day. ''.s. ~ +-i,s..s n IF s3. ~. F

PIG CLUB BOYS
 MAKE FINE RECORD

Auburn, August 7.-(Special. )-Tak- ing up the pig club work when he was quite a young boy has resulted in Werth Thagard of Butler county be- coming a successful breeder of high class swine. He is only 16 years of age new, and the fact that he re- gently made a trip from Greenville to Lafayette, q distance of about 159 miles. for the sole purpose of seeing a herd of Gccc Durocs. proves how interested he is in the business. The visit was made to the farm of one of the best swine breeders of the state. 5ung Thagard means to belong to this class
 He now has two mature sows, ona junior yearling sow with seven pigs, one boar, and three five-month -old s.lts all registered, which he is using in the rig club. He states that he con- siders these animals to worth a mini- mum of $6O0. He gives these hogs ex- cellent treatment, and when these three gilts were weighted at four months of age they weighed as fol- lows: Ninety-two pounds, 921a pounds
  able uniformity. About the same time scrub pig, 12 months old. Was weighed and pulled down exactly 70 pounds. This shows what pig clubs and pure bred stock will do. Werth took up the club work four years ago, beginning with a grade ! Duroc gilt given him by an uncle l He lost out in the show ring at the | county fair the first fall. but he came right back the following year and won
 second prize. Then he sold his grades l and bought a registered Duroc gill; | and that fall won first in the open com petition against all breeds and breed- | CTS.
 This progressive young swine breed- | CT feeds a properly balanced ration l to his hogs, having made a careful i study of feeds for hogs since joining l the pig club He feeds corn, tankage
 and an abundance of pasture and graz | ing crops
 This lad, says Mir. c. R. Bowers of 1 the United States department of agri- culture and Alabama extension service, is rapidly developing into first class breeder of swine. His natural abil | ity along this line has been developed | and improved by the training he has ] received in the pig club.

RHEUMATISM
 SUFFERERS Try Prescription C-2223-It Has Helped Many Drop the Baths, Expensive Trips, and Stop Pay
 ing Big Bills

Any of our readers who suffer from bone pains, swollen muscles or joints, backaches pains all over the body so you can hardly walk, dizziness, lum- bago or any other form of rheumatism, should ask any of our home prescrip- ton druggists for Prescription C-2223. It don't cost much, as it is already pre- pared Take daily doses as indicated on prescription pasted on the bottle. It has helped hundreds of cases, espe- cially the old, stubborn kind. One of our downtown druggists tells us that this prescription keeps down and ex- pels uric acid from the blood, at the same time purifying and enriching the blood so that pure. rich blood is sent direct to the joints and skin surface. Those terrible aches and pains, swollen muscles, aching back and every form of rheumatism can be easily controlled by following the simple directions that go with this famous prescription C. 2223
