Peter Learns Some Things

Out on the Green Meadows just be-

caught sight of a black form walking
about in stately way and now and

minded him of Blacky the Crow, but
he knew right away that it wasn't

Peter. What a splendid long tail he

Crow that suppose this is why they

France gave the Americans a num-
Der of good ideas in combining or
CANDY with satin and taffeta. The
Americans took up the ideas timidly
and did not see in them any special
grace.
But the French are obstinate. When
they begin to work on a new idea
they do not end it soon. They keep
hammering at it until the world ac-
cepts it.
To Judge from the continuance of
combinations of organdy and silk or
satin, this peculiar obstinacy of the
French is at work They are making
gowns of satin and organdy, of tat

The following brief account of an
interview with a man ten years ago,

interest by every citizen.

Ocala school.
At the suggestion of the superin-
tendent it was agreed to raise the
maximum salaries of teachers holding

Thursdays Session
The board met with all members
present and acting.
Mr.. d. II. Barco, one of the trustees
of the Homeland district, called and
discussed the school interests of his
community.
Mrs. Moorhead called and discussed
|, the time for closing her work as dem
onstration agent. Also, with the state
agent for the colored work and Pearl
Anderson, colored home demonstra-
ton agent, requested that the board
be responsible for S25 with which to
secure Gaping steels and tools for
the use of the colored people in can
ming. The board endorsed a note to
the Ocala National Bank for this
amount. 1t was also requested that
Pearl Anderson be paid for the month
of July and it was agreed that the
board would supplement her salary to
the amount of $50.
Sundry bills were presented and
ordered paid.
Teachers reports were presented
and accounts ordered paid.
The superintendent presented the
matter of paying certain of the Ocala
teachers who had taught for one week

this time.

with the returned vouchers and the
records in the warrant register and
found to be apparently correct.
1t was agreed to make as nearly ar
increase of ten per cent in teachers
salaries as practicable considering
| the size of the schools.
i The matter of amount of millagt
to be assessed was left over for future
determination,
No further business appearing, the
board adjourned to meet in regular
session on Tuesday, July 8, 1919.

S. S. S. is a purely vegetable

and herbs direct from the forest,
which combat promptly any dis
ease germs or impurities in the
blood.
Once you get your blood free
from impuritieS-cleansed of the
catarrhal poiSonS which it is now
a prey to because of its un-
healthy State-then you will be
relieved of Catarrh-the drip
ping in the throat hawking and
splitting, raw sores in the nOStrilS,
and the diSagreeable bad breath.
1t was caused, in the first place,
because your impoverished blood
was easily infected. Possibly a
slight cold or contact with some
one who had a cold. But the
point iS-dOn't suffer with Ca
tarrh-it is not necessary. The
remedy S. S. s., discovered over
sixty years ago, tested, true and
tried, is obtainable at any drug
store. 1t has proven its value in
thousands of cases. 1t will do so
in your case. Get s. S. s. at once
and begin treatment. If yours is
a long-Standing case, be sure to
write for free expert medical ad-
vice. We will tell you how this
purely vegetable blood tonic
cleanSeS the impurities from the
blood by literally washing it
clean. We will prove to you that
thousands of sufferers from Ca
tarrh, after consistent treatment
with s. s. S., have been freed
from the trouble and all its dis
agreeable features and restored
TO perfect health and vigOr.

that Catarrh is an ailment that

ARE GENERALLY FAKES.

Having said this, which was per-
haps a necessary report of the situa-
ton as it stands, | desire to warn
my American readers against ac-
cepting sensational reports Of grow
ing national differences. do not
think anyone can exaggerate the
fundamental good feeling which ex-
cidentally in the official world, but
more strikingly amidst the masses
OF the population for the president,
personally, and as the representa-
tive of his country. We are three
distinct nations with totally differ
ent manners and methods. no long
er associated in a common struggle
against the enemy-a situation in
which all differences of manner
vanish before the same conception
of duty.
Instead we are now engaged in
striving To exist and our conditions
are equally hard on both sides of the
national fences; all the little latent
prejudices come TO the surface; the
| heroes, alas have become quite ordi-
nary human beings. You may hear
in every corridor in every restaurant
/ gossip. half truths and truths OF no
significance, brought forward TO
prove that everything in Paris
marches towards discord and failure.

TEACHING LESSONS IN
SCIENCE OF DEMOCRACY.

And so the situation becomes more
and more puzzling because like all
human gatherings the peace confer
ence in Paris seeks a leader and up
10 the present hour the man whom
circumstances have marked for that
role gives no sign Of the direction
which he believes should be taken.
He is not here as a Ceaser. but as
servant of democracy. He declines
to assume the role of dictator.
Those in America who wanted
America TO believe the president
would come over here and attempt
TO assume the role of autocrat, will
soon no doubt be criticising him for
not doing that very thing.
Apart from the league of nations,
the Polish and Russian problems are
most pressing and as recent dis
patches have doubtless indicated a
beginning, q very small beginning
has made in both cases. but in
neither case is il accurate to say that
policy has been adopted: rather a
committee has been appointed. We
have settled questions of precedence
OF method: the routine dear 20 the
heart of the bureaucrat is arranged,
but we are still feeling in the dark
so far as purposes are concerned.
