WATCH YOUR STEP

Irving Berlin's international synco-
pated musical success. "Watch Your
Step," which broke all of last seasons
records for musical entertainment,
will be presented at the Temple We'd
nesday night, Jan. %.
Everyone associated with the pro-
duction of "Watch Your Step" has
won an enviable fame in their partic-
ular field, and this musical play is de-
scribed as their joint masterpiece.
Mr.. Berlin, who has given the pub
lie some of the most prolific song hits
the modern stage has known, formed
an idea that a musical show, written
wholly in syncopated time, would
catch the popular fancy of theater-
goers. He seized upon the idea with
enthusiasm and not long after COM
pleted the score and lyrics. Then the
book was intrusted to Harry B. Smith,
and none could have made a better
play. Then came the selection of
men and women to stage the piece.
The most noted were securd. Leon
Bakst was commissioned TO paint the
production; r. H. Burnside to produce
it ,and Helen Dryden, designer of all
the covers of "Vogue," to design and
furnish the costumes. The trio were
given carte blanche. The result was
sufficient to give theatergoers a dis
tinct surprise.
It was the first time that a ragtime
musical play had ever been offered
for public approval That it was a
genuine success is proven by the fact
! that it played in New York nearly an
entire season. in Chicago for three
months. in Philadelphia for three
months and in Boston for three
months

SAVE A LIFE"

The motto of the movement to Sc
cure money for the relief of the suf-
ferings of Bible lands is "Save
Life" We are assured that thousands
will die of starvation unless aid is
gotten TO them soon. 1t is possible
for America, to whom the call of the
suffering has never been made in vain,
t. preserve alive literally whole races
of people in the Near East-Jews,
Syrians, Greeks, Armenians and Per
slams. Oen would not feel very com
Portable when he reflects that he
passed by an opportunity to save the
life of a woman or a child. We are
told that $5 will save a life for a
month, and $50 for a year.
The arrangements for the canvass
for $4,000 for this cause in this coun-
ty are going on. The time has been
short and it will be several days until
the teams are fully organized. Yes
terday the ministers spoke at their
morning services about the work and
commended it strongly to their peo-
pie. Mrs. R. L. Anderson. chairman
of the Woman's Committee Of Nation
al Defense, representing all the or
ganizations of women in the city, will
have her committees arranged today
and they will get to work speedily
among the women The mems teams
will be announced later.
Mr.. John r. Herndon, at the re-
quest Of DIR. Rodgers, state director,
will go to Leesburg tonight to set up
committee for this cause in Lake
county, and Thursday night to Inver-
ness, and Friday to Brooksville, for
the same purpose. Monday night Of
next week he will go to Bushnell on
this business.
The reports of all teams should be
made to Mr.. HerndOn, and he will be
glad to have reports to come to him
on Wednesday and Saturday after
moons of this week.

it represents a splendid opportunity
which is presented TO the American

distance of 240 miles, were excellent,

at the state fair proved that Florida

money at less cost for production. All
of the farmers we talked with said
that they get two crops per year from
cultivated land and some times get
three crops Land values are compar-
atively cheap, and the mild climate
makes expensive barns unnecessary

A GOOD BEGINNING
Money Pouring in to the Armenian
and Syrian Relief Fund

and Syrian Relief Fund
Atlanta, Jan. 13.-Early reports
reaching Southern Division headquar-
ters of the Armenian and Syrian re-
lief campaign indicates that a great
outpouring of funds is taking place
throughout the nation and that the
southern states as usual are nobly
doing their part in the contribution
of funds for this particular cause, as
they have done in all other appeals to
the American people for relief. At
lanta has awakened to the acuteness
of the situation in Syria as a result of
cablegrams received last week by a
number of Atlanta citizens telling of
the death of relatives and friends in
that stricken country. One Atlanta
merchant was notified of the death of
his father and nineteen members of
his family from starvation. The pro-
prietor of ten-cent store in Atlanta
was notified of the death of his wife,
five children and a cousin. All over
the South notifications are coming to
Armenians and Syrians. telling of the
death of relatives and close friends.
The nationwide drive for funds to re-
lieve these suffering peoples is unique
in that every dollar subscribed viii
go to their relief. The expenses of
the campaign are being paid by pri-
vate contributions. The campaign
has the enthusiasm of President Will
son and Herbert Hoover, food admin
istrator. 1t is hoped that the sub
scription throughout the nation will
largely exceed the thirty million which
is being asked.

TO THOSE WHO WON
PREMIUMS AT THE FAIR

We wish to state again for the BEN
eft of those who won prizes at the
Marion County Fair, and may not
have seen the announcement in a pre-
vious issue, that the premiums are to
be paid with money appropriated by
the county for that purpose. This
money is not now available and will
not be until the county can collect
taxes to meet its obligations. Please
bear in mind that your premium mon
ey is as safe as though it were in the
bank, and only delayed in reaching
you, and try to be as patient as you
can. It will come in just as handy
when it does come as it would have
been the day after the fair.

FLORIDA PLEASED THIS
DELAWARE FARMER
(Smyrna, Del. Times)

William II. Armstrong, Smyrna's
well known retired farmer and grang-
er, who recently returned from de-
lightful trip to Florida, in which he
made a tour of several Florida coun-
ties with a party of delegates to the
Farmers National Congress, follow
ing the congress which was held in
Jacksonville, December 3-6, is show
ing his friends a souvenir diary of
their trip. Commenting upon the op-
portunities Florida offers for farming
and live stock production he says:
's.The trip which was arranged by the
Association of Florida Fairs, took US
through counties where extensive
farming operations are being carried
on, and we were surprised to learn
that the corn crop of Florida this past
year exceeded in value the citrus crop,
which was fully up to normal, We
were shown herds of pure Shorthorns,
Angus and Herefords which have not
had any grain or housing, that were
in excellent condition. One of the en-
tries at the Florida State Fair. which
was open during our congress, was an
eighteen months old grade steer,
weighing 1920 pounds, that sold at
public auction for fifty cents per
pound on the hoot. 1t was raised in
Marion county, the dam having three
Shorthorn crosses on a piney woods
cow, and the sire was a pure bred
Angus. The greatest opportunities
seem to be breeding the cheap, native
cows to pure bred beef type sires. The
climate is very mild, and calves drop
ped in January and February on the
pastures, make an excellent growth
for finishing as yearlings, on velvet
beans, corn and peanut hay, which
are grown in abundance on cultivated
land. Considerable sport has been
made about the Florida piney woods
rooters, but we visited a hog farm
where prize winning pure bred Pol
and -Chinas, Duroc-Jerseys, Berkshire
and Hampshire are being raised at
less cost than is possible in our own
climate.
"On December 10th our party en-
joyed a fish fry dinner spread on
tables under green leaved trees in the
city park at Mcintosh. The following
day we had picnic dinner and oyster
roast at Silver Springs, with an
abundance of oranges for desert. No
one should miss an opportunity of
visiting Silver Springs, six miles
from Ocala, and taking the ride In a
glass-bottomed boat. The English
vocabulary does not contain words ap-
propriate to describe the wonders OF
coloring and formations, both of vege-
table and mineral seen under the wa
ter of that place and ther are numer-
Gus varieties of fish swimming here
and there to lend life to the setting.
We saw a number of tractors at work
in the fields, and inspected some
barns full of excellent oats, cowpea
hay, corn and velvet beans. The lat
ter is one of the favorite leguminous
croys and makes a heavy crop with
high protein content grain, as well as
luxuriant growth Of vines.
"Of course we visited orange groves
and helped ourselves to the golden
fruit. Just before crossing from
Marion county into Lake county each
member of our party put little sand
into the left shoe, as an attraction to
return to that county to live. The

ANOTHER BIG SHIP GIVEN UP

London, Jan. 12.-The German

Paris, Jan. 13.-The first actual
session of the peace congress is being
held today, although officially desig-
mated as one of the series of converse
tions for laying the groundwork or
the congress. Today's meeting is ex-
pected to make start on the question
whether the sessions will be secret or
public. Nothing has developed to
alter the statement that the Ameri-
cans are primarily concerned with the
creation of league of nations and
making just peace. Territorial am
bitions, local quarrels and economic
rivalry among the European delegates
are secondary in the minds of the
Americans.

This would indicate that they did not

Rocky Mt. News, (Republican):-
1t is all very well for Republicans
who are supporting Johnson to rufIle
up and maintain their intensive pstri-
otism. But the fact remains that
about everybody who was opposed. to
the war, its conduct or the results is
now happy under the Borah- johnson
banner. They can attack all three
hitherto sacred subjects now without
fear. In South Dakota for instance.
johnson is overwhelmingly received.
BY whom? By the Non-partissn

been sentenced to Jail upon disloyaIty
charges made against him by the
United States authorities in the VIII

folks are for anybody who attacks
