CALL WAS RECALLED
GEORGE W. SIMMONS

On the morning of the 22nd inst.
George w. Simmons passed away at
the old Simmons home east Of Citra,
after a long and painful illness OF
more than a score Of years. He was
afflicted with that terrible disease
known as rheumatism
Mr.. Simmons was born June 9Th,
1870. He was the son of the late Mrs.
Sarah Simmons. He was during his
whole life an exceptionally good boy.
To know him was to love him. His
friends were numerous, among both
white and colored. He suffered un-
told agony for twenty years or more.
He was one of the greatest sufferers
have ever known and bore It pa
tiently and was faithful to the end.
It seems hard and we can't under
stand why boy with spotless char
acter such as he had should suffer ~
he did, but God works In mysterious
ways his wonders to perform. George
had not been able to stand on his feet
for nearly six years.
Everything that loving hands could
do was done for him, beside spending
thousands of dollars. He tried q num-
Der of natures health resorts, among
them the noted Hot Springs, Ark. BE
spent nearly four months at these
springs without deriving any benefit.
During the last six years Of his
life it has been necessary to keep q
nurse with him, and for the last
four years he has been IN the care Of
his brother-in-law, Mr.. r. w. Vause.
Mr.. Vause certainly has been a faith
full servant:
Mr.. Simmons leaves to mourn his
death six brothers, namely: William
S. Simmons of Miami; r. F. Simmons
of Citra; J. N. Simmons of Summer
field; James ]. Simmons Of Hawthorn;
E. r. Simmons of Gainesville; John
r. Simmons Of Cftra, and five sisters,
Mrs. Mary ]. Vause Of Palatlra; Mrs.
r. w. Vause Of Citra; Mrs. W. ].
Vause Of Johnson; Misses LEILA and
Sallie Simmons, both Of Citra, beside
a host of relatives and friends. May
the Lord heal their broken hearts,
and help them to say, Thy viii be
done.
Though George has been called
upon to pass through the valley OF
the shadow of death, may those who
loved him realize that the good shep-
herd leadeth and it is well Blessed
From henceforth, yea, saith the spirit,
that they may rest from their labors,
and their words do follow them.
Rest for the toiling hand,
Rest for the anxious brow,
Rest for the weary wayworn feet,
Rest from all labors now.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by the Rev. Z. ID. Boyer, pastor
OF the old Simmons church, Of which
George was a member. The pail bear
ers were H. M. Baker, C. r. Abstein
Oscar Ellis and Luther Waldron. The
body was inferred at the Simmons
cemetery and was laid to rest beside
Georges dear old mother, who pre-
ceded him five years. The music was
conducted by Mrs. T. z. johnson and
beautifully rendered.
George was a great home and
mama boy, having spent the most Of
his life with his mother on the old
homestead, where he was born and
reared, looking after the interest and
welfare of his precious old mother as
long as he was able.
'Tis religion that can give
Sweetest pleasure while we live.
lis religion that must supply
Solid comfort when we die.
After death its joys shall be
Lasting as eternity.
Be the living God our friend.
Then our bliss shall never end

FRAMING A BUDGET
A Help to Wise Spending Rather
 Than to Parsmony.

MT. J. H. Puelicher, State Di- rector of War Savings for Wisconsin has prepared a budget for incomes from $500 year upward. which has been pronounced practicable
 The budget provides 40 per cent for food, clothing 13 per cent, shelter IS per cent, fuel and light per cent sundries, including savings, 22 per cent. He considers the following a fair example: Food $35O, clothing SLY, shelter $163, light and fuel $68.SO, recreation $36, church and charities SPA, insurance $4S. carfare $31.50, savings $26, miscellaneous, in. cluding literature, $27
 ;. For a 5000 income the proportions suggested are: Food $720, clothing $360, shelter $330, light and fuel s114 recreation $10S, church and charities SIP, insurance $95, carfare $315O. say fngs $750, miscellaneous, including lit erature and physician, $15O help in house $350. Some items are too low for eastern conditions, notably hous ing and carfare, while others might be reduced.
 To save is imperative. Some people are born thrifty some achieve thrift, but most of us have thrift thrust upon us by high prices and restricted incomes. To all the budget is the universal help, and as a safe investment for small savinos. War Savings Stamps should be the first consideration after the necessities.

rome sewing Provioed For.

Dry goods merchants in every part of the country report radical changes in their customers buying habits, due to war experience. People seek sound values in clothes. There is no disposition to be parsimOnious, or shabby, but women are judging gar ments by wearing quality. They no longer purchase short-life gowns or fabrics for the sake of showy ap- pearance. Thrift has brought in new fashion era-quiet models which stead of the one-season creation"
 The merchants are cutting down wasteful methods in their stores, and eliminating superfuous service, un- wise credits. unprofitable deliveries and other happy-gO-lucky, hit-or- miss extravagances for which the public had to pay.
 Another interesting development is the sale of materials for home sewing. One store seeks to interest schoolgirls in making their own dresses. Prizes are offered for we'll made garments; sewing instruction is given in the store; suggestions are made for the purchase of material, trimmings and patterns.
 Some stores make up bundles con taining all the requisites for given garment-the fabric and all findings needed.
 Money saved by this sort of wise spending can be safely invested in War Savings and Thrift Stamps.

 STAMPS :?
By Jennie Glover Brown.

By Jennie Glover Brown Because: For many years we fooled ourselves That things could perfect be Only when they were trademarked With the stamp of Germany. AS time went on the climax came To their efficiency. When War of diabolic type Was Made In Germany! Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that little long, But Wilhelm tried to get the earth. And Wilhelm got in wrong; For we bought bonds and Savings
 Stamps,
 That Uncle Sam might send The food and ammunition that Would hasten the wars end. We HooveriZed and Storrowized For our dear cOuntry'S sake, But we would not be Kaiserized! We had too much at stake. Twas not the time to reason why! We knew such things must be To speed the movement that would
 kill
 The Germ in Germany! The food we save, the bonds we buy, And stamps, for many a post. Are paying toward the barbecue On which said Bill will roast! That's why we buy the Savings
 Stamps,
 And we will buy until A League of Nations shall decide To free this world of Bill!

Authorship Not Determined.

"The more I see of human nature, the more I love dogs" The common phrasing of this cynicism Is: "The more I see of men the better I like dogs" This has proved the despair of the industrious folk who run quot able passages down to their source. Because the sentiment Is somewhat sardonic 1t has been attributed to the French and credited to Victor Hugo and Georges Sand, but the attribution has never been satisfactorily fortified by the citation of chapter and verse The authorship remains a problem, and when it was proposed here some years ago the curious scholarship of those who are alert to answer these Ques- :.ons failed to shed any light.

Effect of Extreme Cold.

The most remarkable effect of the cold which a member of one of the antarctic expeditions nOti 'ed was the loss of sense of touch in the fingers. It was almost complete. Suppose you wanted to look for d knife in kitbag,' he said, you would get it in your hand and not know it, and it was the same witl everything we handled. We saw that we picked it up, and saw that we held the article; we could not feel that we had it." He added that it was not possible to shave because the skin be- came irritated nnd sore, while if the beard grew too long it attracted mO1s- .ure, and then frOZe into a block. The only thing to do was to keep beard and nustache clipped close.

No End to Muskrats.

A sufficient number of muskrats to meet demands for their fur are trapped from marshes and SWampS that are, for the most part. unprotected. mil lions of skins being taken each year. So long as the prtural breeding places remain undisturhHd and reasonably closed SeaSGnS are maintained there is little likelihood of the numbers of the animals being depleted. according to biologists of thc United States depart ment of agriculture. With adequate protection in the breeding season and with the present habitat available, from 1O,OOO.OOO to 12.OOO.O0O belts can be taken in North America annually without depletion of the supply.

Toad'S Good Service.

The toad is useful because of it's diet. No less than S3 specimens of insects, mostly injurious, have been proved to enter into it's dietary. George W. Hunter says: A toad has been ob- served to snap up 129 flies in half an hour. Thus at low estimate 1t could easily destroy 1000 insects during day and do an immense service to the garden during tho summer. It has been estimated that a single toad may, on account of the cutworms which it kills, be worth $19.88 each saa snn that 1t lives.

ARRESTED FOR PERJURY
Lakeville Boy Found Guilty-Sen.
 tence Suspended

Gaston D. Cleveland, IS, charged with perjury in swearing falsely as to his age in making application to the state motor vehicle department for a drivers license, was sentenced to 30 days in jail by Justice M. D. Rudd last Thursday. Sentence was suspended and the boy placed on probation.
 Evidence was adduced showing that the accused in May, 1918, made application for license, claiming to be Is years and one month old. The application was granted, but later the department revoked the license, having learned that Cleveland was not IS.
 In March this year Cleveland again made application to the de- partment for drivers license, claim ing to be IS years and II months of age, and was told to forward a copy of his birth certificate. Cleveland waited until Oct. 27, his 18th birth day; and then complied with the de- partment's request. His arrest fol- lowed on a perjury charge based on his application of March last assert ing he was IS.
