ROMANCES OF TIE
 WAR UnTOLD

PARIS. Jan. 1O- Two parcels Us valuable as they are small, are slowed away in a Y. NJ. CA. safe at Ippe- court. France. They give the only clue to one of the unfinished romances oS the war. Each is addressed and ready for mailing to a girl back in America. Each contains diamond ring wd more than a thousand frances. They will have to lie in that Red Triangle safe until the last casualty lists are published for they were turned over 10 the ~" secretary in trust by two young officers just a day or two be, fore the fighting ceased.
 Say Doc" said the spokesman, 'wa want to leave these with you m case well you know. In the morn ing we're going after Heinie again. If we don't come back, send these things to the addresses on thom."
 They haven't come back yet, but the ''Y'" man is not sure. Rings dja- mond rings should be messengers of ioy to American girls, not harbinge, $ of .radedy. So the "Y' man is keeo- ing the rings until the officers turn up- ol until the last casualty list tells their tale of supreme sacrifice.

Ha- SO YOU are having trouble ShaEr. Well Co the best of my belief, the alleged" tin cans are made of a new kind of sheet iron, that k the cans have tried Co open.
 The best way to open one of these alleged tin cans is to take it Co tho basement. if you have one, or else our side of the house, some place. Put the alleged ,in can on the floor. Take tA" axe and go to it, Chop, cuss, chon, cuss. chop. then couple of cusSeS. !f by this time the can refuses to repIt to the operation, put the can on the floor. take a sledCe hammer and best the can around the basement or tHr vacant lot. Let the can hit any ana everything and perhaps it will spriug a leak. If a leak is sprung then y'a can put wedge in and perhaps your efforts are rewarded If this opcray- ion is not successful, just cuss.
 If the can fS milk can, place th" can on 8 chopping block, Summon aid. Have the aide hold the sharpest point ed aurcr you have upon the top of the milk can. Then hit the top of the auger with a slcdgc hammer, NoQ might be able to make a hole throuch which the milk will flow.
 If you cannot make an impressio" save the can. and when the kickira husband comes home, bean him, am. no jury will find you guilty.
 Oh. ye,- before you start on any or the above operations send the chti drcn away from home, if you hav. children. Tell the kiddieS to go to tho neighbor living the greatest num2e' of blocks from your house. Tell then to get left handed monkey wreoc' or anything. When they return, Il should be safe for you have eithe opened the cans, or you are SO eN- haustod with efforts that you have n, further life in your body to create disturbance and use naughty, naught, language. which should not be spoke, in the presence of children.

VICTORY-SAVE 1T!

OF all the things we were told to
save during the war, from money
down to peach pits, ont one approach
ed in Importance the thing we must
save now. That thing is victory. We
Won it, but will we keep it?
That may seem a foolish question,
yet as surely as we do not hold before
us the ideals for which we fought and
the ends towards which we wrought,
the fruits of victory will slip from
cur hands and the triumph bought at
the cost of so much blood and sorrow
will become but a page, albeit a glor-
ious one, in history.
In the last analysis, the object of
the war was to make the world bet
ter, cdleaner, safer place in which to
live than Germany threatened to
make it. But winning the war by no
means accomplished that purpose.
Rather did it merely clear the way
for its accomplishment. Had Ger
many won, it is frequently said that
civilization would have been set back
hundred years. But that Germany
lost does not mean civilization has
been advanced a hundred years; it
merely means that it is now possible
for US to work for it's advancement
without devoting all our resources to
repelling the savage that barred the
path.
Are we then to rest on our laurels,
to fel that because we have beat out
the blaze. it is not necessary to repair
the ravages or to build up the house
against future fires? Rather let US
carry on the work which our heroic
dead made possible for US to do, and
in such humanitarian causes as that
of the American Red Cross in its plans
for the betterment of the health and
the enlightenment of mankind, prove
to those who sleep in Flanders fields
and in the Argonne that with them we
have not broken faith.

SUPER EXTRA PHARISEE
LIVES IN MINEOLA
Gainesville News)

A party of Gainesville people were
going to Tampa last Sunday and ran
out of gasoline in a little town named
Mineola, in the southern part of the
state. Upon finding out the reason
Henry" refused to move any further,
they began to look around for filling
station. About 100 yards from where
the car stopped they noticed large
sign, letters about two feet long on
it, which said: "Gasoline." What luck,
thought the motorists. They also no.
ticed family was living on the
ground floor of the building on which
tie sign was located.
1t was about 9 o'clock, and the
driver of the car walked up to the
side of the building and called in the
customary manner. "Hello." A man
showed his head in the window and
asked, "What do you want?" The
motorist replied: 81 would like to get
little gas, please" The merchant
replied, 81 don't sell gasoline on Sun
day." The driven then asked: "What
do you expetc tourist to do when he
runs out of gas here on Sunday?"
The merchant replied, what does he
do in a big city? The garages there
do not stay open on Sunday" The
motorist replied: "They do in all the
big cities | have been in" The mer-
chant then said: ''They don't in any
OF them / have ben in." Then, in dis
gust, the driver replied: "You have
never been in a city," and walked
back to his car, wondering if the
merchant had ever been out of Mine
ola. About the time he got back to
his car he noticed hotel across the
street and went over to make further
inquiries about getting the necessary
gas. The proprietor of the hotel told
him he had only about two gallons in
his car, but he was going to the next
town right away to get more, and
would gladly bring the stranded
motorist what he wanted. There We're
two cars in the party, though, and an
| investigation revealed the fact that
the second car had about a gallon in
| it. So it was divided and the party
went to the next little town about
three miles out of the way to get the
gasoline. The motor party is now
wondering what the Mineola merch-
ant would do if he saw a cow in a bog
fhole on Sunday. and they are willing
to bet that the merchant would let the
cow die, unless it belonged to him.

-FOUR WOMEN
CLAIM FLORIDA
1t Was Granted to Their Ancestors by
the King of Spain 400
Years Ago
(Associated Press)

New York. Oct. 22.-A copy of
Ponce de Leon's grant of Florida by
the king of Spain was shown to i'm
migration officials yesterday by four
Colombian women, but it failed to
qualify them for admission to the
United States from France in lieu of
the papers prescribed by immigration
department regulations.
Evidence of possible ownership of
an entire commonwealth of the Unit
ed States, acquired by inheritance
from the seeker of the fountain of
youth, was not sufficient Identified
ton for the immigration inspectors.
The officials ruled that the women and
thirty-one other passengers must
stay aboard the steamship La Tour
raine because they had not filled out
form 228.
An appeal has been made to the
state department to permit the en-
bargoed passengers to land. The
Colombians include Sonora Teresa de
TANGO, wife of the former Colombian
minister to Peru, and sister of the
minister to England.

NOT AFRAID OF LEPERS
ASSOCIATED Pressl

Kishinev, Bessarabia, Sept. 8, via
Paris, Sept. 22.-The lepers of Breasa
saw their first Americans, smoked
their first American cigars and re-
ceived their first American shoes
when two Red Cross men visited their
ancient colony recently. Breasa is a
village west of Odessa, which was
formerly an important Russian medi-
cal center for the care of leprosy.
Major Charles E. Spratt of New
York city, and Major Lionel d. Har-
gis of San Francisco, brought with
them to Breasa a supply of food
clothing and medicine. The cry OF
"Unclean! Unclean" which met them
az the gate did not deter the Ameri-
cans, who introduced themselves to
the aged nuns in attendance. In a
few minutes began the distribution
of the American supplies from Red
Cross automobile.
With nothing but their eyes show
ing through Sits in their all-envelop-
ing gowns, the lepers watched the
proceedings at respectful distance.
Surgical dressings, antiseptics, band
ages, American canned goods, several
dozen shirts, pajamas and suits Of
underclothing with an assortment Of
shoes were spread before them.
(Which are the men?" Maj. Spratt
asked the mother superior. A group
of the shrouded figures moved for
ward.
"Do you men smoker" he asked
them through an interpreter.
An eager chorus came from be-
meath the hoods.
"Then here you are! Light up!'
And Major Spratt passed around q
box of Havanas of his own stock.
! "And here's a box of Bucharest
candy for the women" added Major
Hargis.
AS the Americans left the colony
the inmates ran after them crying
out their thanks.

A NEW STAR IN
THE PERMANENT

Many people in Ocala have been
astonished the last few evenings by a
big, new star that has arisen in the
south, and it is said that all the old
ASTRONOMERS and some new ones have
studied in order to obtain its number.
The new star in the heavens, however,
is due not to an unexpected movement
of stellar body but to the fact that
City Manager Martin has installed a
big light on top of the tower. 1t looks
good and can be seen many miles off.
