500 BALES DESTROYED
BY FIRE AT REBECCA

Rebecca, Nov. 20-yAt two o'clock
this morning the new brick warehouse
Of Paulk & hoffman was destroyed
by fire and about five hundred bales
of cotton which it contained were
also complete loss.
The fire was said to have started
in some freight cars adjoining and
when first discovered could have been
extinguished with the proper fight
ing force, but before help could be
summoned, the blaze reached the new
warehouse and rapidly consumed the
whole structure
4 Most of those losing in the fire had
insurance on their cotton, but some
are without insurance The total loss
is estimated at over $4,000.

On the other hand, the people of
Europe are suffering from lack of
fats, and it will be absolutely essen
tial. Dr. Soule said, for America to
economic very closely in this detail
i'll order that the people of Europe
may be supplied. The lack of fats
and dairy products is terrible me-
mace to the children, he said and he
declared that already in Servia and
Roumania there are hardly any chill
dren left 1t is to put stop to such
conditions as this that America will
be asked to save her fats for use in
Europe.
DR.. Soule stated that not only will
America be called upon to feed her
Allies, as during the war, but will
even be asked to furnish food for the
defeated people of the central pow
ers. Dr. Soule admitted that to do
this for the people who have preach
and practiced terrorism adm brutality
to all the world and have slain our
sons is not at all to the liking of
Americans, but that, aside from the
humanitarian spirit for which Amer
lea stands, this course will be neces-
sary in order to curb Bols!levivism
and anarchy which threatens not
merely the disrupted nations OF CEN
trail Europe, but also neutral coun-
tries and is capable OF a situation
which may pass beyond all control.
This is the cold fact of the situation
America is up against, he said
DIR. Soule also pointed out there
are more than 100000 people in
northern Russia who are facing GER
tain starvation unless relief can be
carried to them The plight of these
people is such that it is already doubt
full whether they can be saved from
this horrible fate, he said. If winter
comes on and their northern poi IS
become ice-bound before food reach
ed them, Dr. Soule declared, they will
die actually by the millions.

Food Administration for Georgia, are

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING

The regular meeting of the board of
trade will be held tonight at eight
o'clock. All members are requested to
be present at this meeting, and visi-
tors are always welcome. The Red
Cross drive, which was such sue
cess and to which every one gave
their time, is over. Now we should
turn some of our efforts to our home
organization and help win some in
dustries for Ocala. 1t would be a
sad event for US to awaken to the fact
that we were everlastingly lost as far
as the possibilities of getting my
thing that was good for Ocala, yet
one will say, why don't you go after
them? Well, who is the one to go
after these things? It is not the in
dividual. The citizens of Ocala are
the ones interested, and unless the in
terest is shown, there is no benefit
derived. AS a request for the benefit
of our town, won't each member and,
in fact, all who see this urgent call,
come out to the meeting of this or
ganization and let's accomplish some
good.

oAK-GRINER FARM
Charles AIer,
Recruiting Officer

Griner Farm, Jan. 12.-On Tuesday
of last week Mr.. Rowe died at the
hospital in Ocala of typhoid fever. He
was carried back to Lawtey for
burial. His sister, who only arrived on
the down train, returned on the train
with the sorrowing wife and three
small children.
The following Saturday Mr.. Jas. B.
Laine died in the hospital, also of
typhoid, and was buried Sunday aft
ernoon in the Anthony cemetery Both
were newcomers to this place and en-
ployees at the mill. The families of
each have the sympathy of this en-
tire community.
There are three other cases of ty-
phoid fever from here in the hospital.
They are child of Mrs. Sherouse,
the 14-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. M. Cason and little Joe Webber.
They are reported to be very i'll.
DR.. J. H. Walters of Ocala was out
Sunday afternoon and inoculated
quite a number, and it is certainly to
be hoped that no new cases will de-
velop. So far it is only among those
living at the mill that typhoid has
developed.
Mrs. B. c. Murphy and children of
Homestead are up on a visit to old
friends and relatives.
Miss Ollie Jones who taught the
eighth grade at Dunnellon this past
term, is now at home with her par
ents.
Miss Sarah Davis of Orlando is
visiting friends here for an indefinite
time.
Mrs. J. L. Lotz gave a farewell
party last Friday evening in honor OF

WORK FOR WOMEN

"The women of my state lit was a
western state) aren't very much
aroused" said home economics di-
rector at a recent Washington food
conference, "but the work is being
done"
"The work for the country isn't
done," replied Miss Ida Tarbell, mem
Der of the Woman's Committee, Coun-
Gil of National Defense, until the last
woman in the country is working, the
woman who belongs to several groups
or societies and the woman who be-
longs to no group; the millions born
in other countries as well as our own
millions. Not one single woman
among them but has her war service
to give. Every woman has chance
now, no matter what her station, to
gain the wonderful spiritual exper-
fence of working in unison to support
civilization. Neither food conserva-
tion, nor relief, liberty-fnance no1
child welfare, nor work to help oul
women in industry, is done until every
woman has become aware of all these
great questions, and is giving hel
strength to the great effort. AL
shoulders must be placed to the wheel
not the shoulders of one class, nor one
color, nor one creed.
Calamity threatens US. No work i:
complete until participation in the
job is complete. No leader may fee
satisfied until she can say, There i!

needs to be stirred to higher pitcl
| of enthusiasm, nor one who coulC

WANT To PUSH
THE WORK
Senators Fletcher and Trammell In
terested in Sale of War
Savings Stamps
ASSOCIATED Press)


Jacksonville, June 14.--Senator D.
u. Fletcher and Senator Park Tram
nell are both vitality interested IN
Florida's showing in the war savings
drive which is being conducted over
the entire nation and which culmi-
mates on June 18th. They are particu-
larly interested because the war saw
ings plan represents more especially
the participation of every citizen in
every state than does the Liberty
Loan, and Florida is on the same foot
ing and buying on the same basis as
many of the wealthier states. The
quota for the state is $22,660, 900,
which means that each man, woman
and child in the state is assessed to
lend the government $50.
State Director J. F. G. Griggs today
received the following kilograms from
Senator Fletcher and Senator Tram
nell, both of which came entirely un-
solicited:
"This message is prompted by my
very deep interest IN the success of
the intensive war savings campaign
eliminating on national war savings
day, June 28th. You and your CO.
workers are charged with most inn
portant and patriotic responsibility. l
sincerely trust that your efforts may
be so successful that the evening of
June 18th will find no citizen of Flor
| ida unenlisted in this nationally i'm
| portant movement
/ "The unusual attention which the
/ war savings campaign is attracting at
/ Washington prompts me to say that
/ / hope our state is working hard so
i that its full quota may be pledged by
June 18th, national war savings day.
/ We cannot afford 10 allow other states
which are certainly no more patriotic
than ours to be ahead of ours in this
movement. l feel sure that you and
your co-workers will no doubt find our
t people realize that it is their duty to
/ save and to pledge the full quota dur
| ing this national important cam
paign.'
/ News comes from all states of the
! Union that great intensity is being
applied to the war savings campaign
and the Florida senators are jealous
I of the splendid record that their state
made in the Liberty Loan drive. Re
/ Gently both of them expressed de-
sire to come here and assist in any
way possible in putting the state
I cover the top" put they were assur-
/ ed by the administration heads that
/ their services were decidedly more
necessary in Washington at this crit
icaI time, and in view of this they
sent the encouraging word to the
army of war savings workers In
Florida.
