Star Time Most Reliable.

The official "time man" at the naval
observatory at Washington, lying on
his back with his eye to a telescope
and his finger on recording button,
checks up "Old Sol" by certain fixed
star-for the sun is not quite punctual.
In fact, Sol is about four minutes be-
hind time except on just four occasions
during the year; and so many allow
ances have to be made for his vagaries
that an imaginary sun is used by the
government astronomer, on which to
base his horoscopical calculations.
1t may be interposed that the
earth's elliptic orbit a2G its varying
rate of speed In its travels, says the
Waterman Of America, helps to give
the sun, as timekeeper, bad rec
ord, but the fact remains that sidereal,
or star time, Is much more reliable
than sun time.

Considerable In Death.

When Sir Ralph Abercromby was
MORALLY wounded in the battle of
Aboukir he was carried on litter
on board the Foudroyant. To ease his
pain soldiers blanket was placed I'M
der his head. He asked what 1t was.
ITS only a soldiers blanket" he
was told.
"Whose blanket is it?" he persisted,
raising himself
"Only one of the mems"
II want to know the name Of the
man whose blanket this Is" the dying
commander insisted.
1T is Duncan Roy's of the Forty

brave man, who did not forget even in
his last agonies the comfort and well

In front of the attacking party, each
holding pan with embers In one
hand and ground red pepper in the
other. When the wind was against
the Spaniards they sprinkled the pep
per on the embers. This was also
done In attacks on the Spaniards in
Venezuela. In the same way pepper
was largely used In exercising de-
mons and evil spirits. The use of
this pepper, known as All, would soon
be discovered by these Indians, who
cultivated the plant extensively. 1t
was only necessary for some one to

TOO MUCH WASTED ENERGY
Writer Has Right Idea In Pointing
Out Folly Of the Present-Day
Hustle and Bustle.

The world is always In hubbub
people rushing here and there In
what appears to be futile fashion.
Why do we not conserve our energies,
save our time and strength for big
things? What does the hustle and
hustle amount to, when we do sit
down and rest and think? Nothing !
because we could have done what we
did without that tense nervousness
which so many of us think we must
assume, to make others think We have
important business on hand. II we
only knew how much more force,
strength and ability lies behind a
calm exterior our aim would be to
assume that pose until 1t became our
rightful inheritance.
"Out Of silence comes thy strength"
1t brings wonderful results, results
that show us how our power is in
creasing. Try to be calm for a few
days and watch the issue. You will
marvel at your strength, be astonished
at your success.
Be silent, patiently listen, and wait
for the strength that is bestowed on
all. 1t is like the ruby In value, a
priceless treasure-a life force, In
other words, which makes geniuses of
men and women.
Begin tomorrow. Go slow but sure,
knowing you are doing the right thing.
Put aside all nervousness and hurry.
You will be amazed at the results !;
people will come to you because that
force being magnetic will draw all
good things In your direction. Some
may say, Il cannot do this. There is
too much to be done in short time"
We need not 60 to the other extreme
and become snails but by striking the
happy medium" our success will
come, perhaps slowly at first, but
surely, MISUNDERSTANDING.

Sister and Brother Laid to Rest.

Last Thursday, Jan. z, when all
hearts should enter a happy New
Year, instead many a heart grew
sad when the youngest son and
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Even Hal
version were laid to rest side by side
in one grave. These dear ones had
been in poor health the last year, so
when this dread disease, influenza,
entered the home these loved ones
were too weak to recover. All was
done by loving hands to save them,
and the doctors had good hopes that
they would recover. But after a
weeks illness they grew worse and
they said they felt their departing
was soon near, and asked their loved
ones to send for their brotners TO
come home, and AL were gathered
around these loved ones sick beds,
but one brother Edward, who is in
France. They had been rejoicing over
their brother 8 homecoming for
Christmas, but he failed to come.
These two loved ones loTged to see
brother Edward and they said when
Edward comes home We will not be
here, but greet him. and they asked
for their minister, Rev. Paul Koren,
and he had come to see them in time
before death took them away Their
only wish was they longed for Jesus
to come and relieve their pains, and
the next morning at eight O'Clock
Gilbert passed away, and his dear
little sister Ella had been told of his
death, but she did not shed tear,
but said to the rest of them do not
cry, for Gilbert has gone to better
place." and "a few hours passed
and then she said ooh you
dear ones, do not worry, but / feel
that 1 am soon going to leave you
all. am going home with dear Gil
BERT" and she lived until the next
morning, when she passed away at
mine o'clock These two youngest
ones always were at home and were
kind, true, valuable helpers to their
parents, and they were of a very
quiet disposition and their kind,
loving ways made a wide circle of
warm friends who will regret their
|untimely deaths, and who extend
their deepest sympathy to the be-
reaved parents, two sisters and six
brothers who so deeply mourn the
loss of these dearest ones who were
the Joy and happiness to them all in
their home. Oft we think of these,
our dear ones, and our hearts are
sad with pain. All the world would
be heaven, if we only could hear
their gentle voices again. But we
must bear in mind that Gods will is
not ours and these, our young friends
were too good to live with us longer.
and He who loved them, has gather
ed them to His Heavenly home. And
let us all live in hopes that we shall
be able to meet our dear ones once
again in Heaven above, where God
wipe tears from our eyes, and for
gotten are pains and all sorrows.

English ship of the White Star Line,

Liverpool, England about the last

Winchester, England an old English
city, stayed there a couple of nights
and left for South Hampton where
we got the boat that crossed the En-
glish Channel. Arrived in LaHarve
and stayed one night, boarded the
train and started for La Courtine,
France. That is where | was in the
hospital eleven days with bad foot.
Stayed there until the first part of
August, then we went to Toul,
France, or near there. From there
we went to the st. Mihel drive you
have read of in the papers. Left

In the discussion it was broughl
out that the law had the effect OF
making the employment OF farm

gendered dissatisfaction among farm
help.

That giving over OF Shantung to
japan, instead of to China, was moral
ly and indefensibly wrong. 1t was a
direct reversal of the doctrine of self
determination of smaller peoples. 1t
was an act of treachery to China,
who had done her full share in the
great war.-Miami Herald.
Wish the Herald would tell what
China did in the "great war" Con-
siderably less than Cuba. And as for
the "self determination Of small peo-
ples," China has a population of four
hundred millions. considerably more
than America, Japan. Germany, Great
Britain and Ireland. France and Italy,
all put together. Small people, in
deed! If they had the spunk of the
Japs they could lord it over Asia and
make Europe behave itself.

Here is what Secretary Baker says
about the disposition of Florida troops
during the war. He did not ask Sen
ators Fletcher and Trammell, any
Florida congressman or the governor
of the state where any of the men
should go, and no patriotic and SEN
sible American would have interfered
with him and the general staff in the
disposition of the troops. The secre-
tary said: "The Florida National
Guard regiments were not kept in
tact because in the entire country
there were more organizations at
minimum strength than could be
used in the number of divisions to be
organized. Consequently in every
state units were combined and in a
great many instances units from two
or more states were combined. The
31st Division consisted of Georgia,
Alabama and Florida National Guard
troops and even then many drafted
men had to be sent to fill in. The LIST
Florida Infantry was split up and as
signed to several units of the 31st
Division. The End Florida Infantry
went into the 124th Infantry, 31st
Division, intact. Field Hospital Com
pany No. l. Florida National Guard,
went into the 106th Sanitary Train,
31st Division, intact. Due to the late
arrival in France of the 31st Divis-
ion at the time of the heaviest fight
ing, the entire division was at once
broken up and used as requirements
in numerous divisions. This explains
why no Florida unit large enough for
a reception returned as a unit. The
same was true of many other states.
There were no parades or formal well
comes in Delaware and a number of
other states. The 10th Infantry of
the Rainbow Division was the only
unit that paraded in Alabama. The
151st Machine Gun Battalion and the
106th Field Signal Battalion, of the
Rainbow Division, and Base Hospital
No. II (Which did not belong to a
division) were the only units that
paraded in Georgia. Furthermore,
these parades were held en- route to
rehabilitation camps while Florida
was beyond any rehabilitation camp"

We just love that word, "spasmod-
icizing," although we couldn't pro-
nounce it to save our immortal soul.
But that isn't what the Herald started
to say. 1t ought to be explained to
the Ocala Star, that there is quite a
difference between the occupation of
Shantung by the Germans and the &C.
cupation by the japanese, the latter,
II permanent, as a result of the nego-
tiations over the peace table, in which
this country took part.-Miami Her
aid.
Don't try to pronounce it. Herald,
dear; your soul is in danger enough
now. 1t may be necessary to explain
some things to the Star, and one of
them is why American senators DELHI
erately try to provoke a friendly ma
ton into war in order to spite an
American president who has almost
worn himself out trying to insure per-
manent peace.
