Success never comes 10 the man
whn is afraid of failure
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1919-07-28
WEIRSDALE w. C. T. u.

July oath the union held a Christian
citizenship meeting with a good at
tendance. The topic for discussion
was characterization"
The first number of the program
was, "The Immediate Need for Amer
sanitation" by Deborah K. Living
ston, chairman Rhode Island commit
tee on the subject, which stated that
one of the great tasks confronting the
organized women of the country is
their part in making American citi-
zens out of the millions of foreign
peoples in our midst. To accomplish
this task requires the most tactful and
helpful methods that we possess. We
must first understand them, if we
hope to have them understand US. The
issue is clear; we must Americanize
them or they will foreignize US. The
very life of our free government is at
stake. Civilization can only continue
as we keep burning bright the torch
of true liberty.
The next number was "The For
eigner Deserves Our Interest and
Prayers" by Mrs. Eva Linder, super
intendent of Americanization for the
state of Michigan. If ever in the his
tory of our nation we should put forth
every effort possible to interest and
Americanize the foreign born, it is
just at this time. The necessity of
the work should impress itself upon
man in the city of Detroit, for exam
pie, was from abroad or was born In
the United States of foreign parents.
Kindness should be shown to the for
eign born. Make them feel like they
belong to US, not treat them like
strangers. Begin with the children
because the parents can be won thru
them. We women of the w. c. T. u.
can accomplish much by calling upon
the foreign mothers in the capacity
Of domestic educators offering them
advice as to sanitation, personal hy-
giene and home economies. y
Third number: We must encourage
adults to speak our language because
how can they be loyal to America If
they don't understand our language.
We ought to have a law to compel
every person to know how to speak
English.
An encouraging report was made by
Mrs. Jacoby, superintendent of l. I.
L. work The reception for the chill
dren July 18th was a success in every
way. A new yell was adopted since
the name of our union was changed
from Lake Weir TO Weirsdale, which
reads:~
We are the Weirsdale L. I. l., from
the liquor traffic free, which was q
menace in our land. and now we are n
happy, happy band.
The next meeting will be held Aug.
9TH, $3.50 p. m. The topic will be
work for the Soldiers and Sailors"

WEEVILS WAGE
DESTRUCTIVE WARFARE

The destruction of grain by weevils
causes an annual loss of something
like 20 per cent. of the total crop. The
corn crop in Marion county this year
il good; the acreage is increased.
This means that the yield will be
larger than last year, which is esti-
mated at something like 800, 900 BUSH
els. The Marion county farmers can
not afford to let the weevils have 20
per cent of this crop. In many of the
other counties of the state the yield
will not be large; in some sections
rains have almost ruined the crop.
About the middle of August a com.
paign against the corn weevil will be
started in this county. County Agent
Blackburn is arranging to hold meet
ings in every section of the county, at
which time the farmers will be urged
to treat their corn against the weevil
If surplus crop is made, this will en-
able them to hold their corn without
it being weevil-eaten, until the best
market price can be secured. Prof
J. r. Watson of the experiment sta
tion and District Agent E. w. jenkins
will assist Mr.. Blackburn with these
meetings. .
The expense of fumigating the corr
is small compared with the loss OF
grain where it is not fumigated
When corn is bringing S1.75 bushel
it is too precious to be eaten by
weevils.
