Christmas Dance at the Country
Club Given BY MIR. and Mrs.
Camp Brilliant Affair
Christmas again has come and gone
but not without leaving in it's wake
some very delightful and happy mem
cries in 0caia, and especially among
the young society dancing set, who
enjoyed the wondeN1G hospitality OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Camp at the
Country Club on Christmas night.
The dance given by Mr. and Mrs
Camp was in honor of their four
daughters, Misses Stella, Nina, Nettie
and Carita Camp and their guest, Miss
Irene Ahearn, of Honolulu, and was
one of the most beautiful and most
thoroughly enjoyed dances ever Civ
en- in Ocala.
The Christmas season was express
ed in all its beauty and loneliness al
this dance, beauty and gaiety, charm
and grcae being blended in perfact
harmony to make up a scene OF indie
scribable loneliness.
! The ball room of the Country Clut
was very beautifully decorated il
| Christmas berries, holly, bamboo
mistletoe and hundreds of flaming
poincettia blossoms, and in The
smoking room and the tea room the
| same decorative scheme was used
Huge fires glowed in the hig tirepiac
es in all the rooms, adding warmth
and comfort, and the ball gowns worr
were the most exquisite ones eve
iseen in Ocala.
Mr. and Mrs. Camp and the homo
guests received the guests of thu
evening in the ball room and shortl.
after the hour of eight-thirty tn
dancing was begun to the strains o
enhancing dance music played b,
Prof Needham's orchestra.
There were present at this affai
over one hundred dancers and Their
were also present a number of tn
older friends of the Misses Camp.
During the evening quite numbe
of very pretty features were intro
duced, among them being fight wit
snow balls made of cotton. The
there was balloon favor and a sci
lpentine paper favor. and later in tn
evening each dancer was presente
with some noise-making instrument
? and these certainly fultilledstheir mis-
sion, and bedlam reigned supreme
Each of the girls was given a fan a
a favor and the gentlemen a ciga
(which upon closer investigation ais
proved to be fan.

VALUE OF SAYINGS
BLCOMES APPARENT
One of Great Lessons Of War Is That
OF National and Individual Thrift
Nov Rapidly Growing

Now that the new German govern
lnent has accepted the inevitable, and
has officially signed the peace terms
dictated by the allies sad the coun-
tries associated with them. the great
est and most disastrous war that ever
scourged the world is ended.
For nearly five years the world has
been tcpsy-sIrvy. The things that
we're needed yesterday are no longer
required, and the activities of the
great war establishments and NUM-
ton plants are being diverted to the
manufacture OF implements Of peace,
There must now be a reimbursement.
Governments that have thought in bill
lions and spent money with lavish
hand, must retrench and think in mil
lions and even smaller amounts, and
must gain new perspective.
Viewed in the retrospect The part
played by America IN the great world
war is one OF the most glorious chap
ters in history. And in the making OF
this brilliant history tho plain Ameri-
can citizen played a stellar role. The
mountains OF munitions, the equip
ment for the millions of soldiers, thu
great ships that carried the men
across the ocean. could not have been
provided had not the common people
of America provided the monsy.
Much Of this money was obtained
through the sale Of Liberty Eonds
and War Savings and Thrift Stamps.
This great volume Of money has not
been wasted. First it brought perma-
nent peace to the world, and now that
real peace is here. every cent that was
so invested will come back to those
who aided their government, and It
will come back with interest,
ibis war that IS now happily ended
has taught the people the value OF saw
ing. They went into the saving
game as much through patriotism IS
anything else. But now that the7 are
reaping the returns, and see that what
they did with patriotic motive Is a
real foundation for future fortune,
they have gained new confidence II
their country, and they will continue
to buy the securities the Treasury De.
Dartment offers, and will make the
country MANIFOLD more prosperous
than II would have been had not the
war instilled the lesson that will prove
tayaluable in future years.

oerts, who are masters OF figures and
who have a mind attunsd to statistics,

of this type has figured out that tho
total wealth Of the United States Is
$500 900, 10000 Then he figures out
the new wealth produced annually,
which he terms met income" This
gets into dizzy figures, too. He est.
mates that last year. the national
wealth increased $4,000, ooO,o 900 which
he admits is going faster than the
normal. Another Washington official
points out that one Of the best ways
to conserve this national income in
wealth is for individuals to buy Wa.

PAYING OFF THAT
MORTGAGE

Theodore Roosevelt said: Thrift IL
merely the use of hard common sense
in the spending OF money" Paying
OF the mortgage on the installmen'
plan by buying War Savings Stamps
is one OF the uses Of this hard com
mon sense.
Not only does this plan offer prac
tical way Of saving small amounts OF
money. but small amounts may be
earning interest as soon as they are
set aside toward the collecting OF
the larger sum. Iris interest in turn
materially helps to reduce the 6 per
cent interest rate commonly charged
on mortgages.
When the mortgage comes due it
may either be paid Off n whole. or IN
pert and renewed. the method Of
saving through War Savings Stamps
being employed until the principal is
!iqUidated.

Rose in United States Court yes
terday, granting the petition OF
Dominic ]. Burke for reinstatement
as member of the Monumental Di-
Wis on of the Brotherhood of Loco

Burke's suit to prevent threat

POPULAR IN BRITAIN
GIRLS BACK FROM THE FARMS
RETURN TO THEIR OLD
HABITS

LONDON, April 30.-The British
land girl" of the war, who is once
more a town girl has returned to
the use of makeup
Artful makeup, in the opinion of
a London business woman who
champions the practice, is essential.
There is no room," she told an in
terviewer, "for the washed-out and
tired-looking woman in the business
world. Even If. she is delicate she
must not look delicate. A little
rouge, very daintily applied, will
give her an appearance of health and
brightness which goes a long way
with an employer.
II ssure you that hundreds OF
girls who are never suspected of the
fact by outsiders habituelly make
up But they do it 30 perfectly
that they deceive the opposite sex,
and large numbers of their W sex,
too. Obvious makeup is vulgar and
would be Of great disadvantage"

WINNIPEG, Man, April 80. =
Canadian Automobiles have OBJ
tanned cooperation of associations in
America and other countries in the
campaign to internationalize road
rules. They believe peace and good
road projects will result in many
transcontinental tours and that a
standard code of rules will be
needed.
British motorists who brought
their machines to Canada have had
great difficulty in keeping on the
right hand side of the streets and
Canadian army officers who at
tempted to pilot machines in London
declare that the left side rule kept
them in a state bordering on mental
collapse.
Aviators also are agitating for an
international conference to formu-
late air rules as well as highway
rules.

AMERICAN NAVY GUARDS FOOD BEING
SENT TO WAR-STRICKFN POPULATIONS

should attempt to deliver food and
supplies to the localities fol-
which they we're intended, but
conditions near Fiume made that
impracticable. Transportation in
land is extremely difficult and
fraught. with danger of interna-
tional complications.
1t was decided that the food
should be delivered at port, plac-
ed in warehouses if necessary and
protected by the United States un-
til the hungry people could ar
range to take it inland themselves.
1t has been shown that under the
pressure of necessity the people
have arranged for inland transpor-
tation quickly and were willing to
assume the responsibility for
proper delivery.
The staff at Rotterdam is
charged with seeing that food for
the Poles is safely delivered at
Danzig. The inhabitants of Dan
zig were not aware that the Unit
ed States would protect it's food
so long as it was in port and view
ed with alarm the entrance OF a
gunboat into the harbor along
with the Westward Ho, the first
food ship to arrive. The alarm
was so great that a rumor was
spread W Europe on the basis
of Danzig reports that the Ameri-
cans had captured the town. The
gunboat still is there and will re-
main as long as the shipments
continue.
The Belgian relief ships go to
Antwerp. and what supplies it has
been possible to send to the Firms
have been directed from the CO.
penhagen headquarters of the
navy.
The direction of the entire sys-
tenn is conferred in the London
headquarters.

wrath Of the shark god, which had

nearing completion it was decided to
avert another mishap by making a
