TO. LEPERS WILL
HOLD MEETING TONIGHT.

! The Alexandria Auxiliary of the
Mission to Lepers will hold its semi
annual meeting at 7:30 o'clock this
evening in the Westminster Building.
1t is an nterdenominational mis-
sionary organization devoted to well
fare and religious work among the
lepers of the world. 1t establishes
hospitals and furnishes physicians,
nurses and medical supplies; it es-
tablishes homes where the victims
of this dreaded disease are cared
for and made comfortable; it es-
tablshes colonies where the un-
tainted children of lepers are cared
for until they raech the age for ed
ucation and self support; schools
are maintained where reading is
taught and vocational instruction is
given to enable the lepers to help
each ether and themselves, and it
erects chapels and churches where
Bible classes and devotional servi-
ces of an undcnominat;onal charac-.
ter are held.
The Alexandria Auxiliary was
organized in April, 1917. by the
late Mrs. Landon r. Mason, of
Richmond, and funds enough were
raised to support one leper for
year. The next year the Gold Pig
Banks, or "Pete.' as the members
of the mission know him, yielded d
fund not quite sufficient to care for
two lepers, and this present year.
though the cost of maintaining
leper has increased as has every
thing else that we know anything
abcut,-the auxiliary hopes to put
down three lepers to its credit.
Officers Of the local organization
are: Miss Gault Norton. president;
Mrs. NJ. W. O'Brien, vice prcsi-
dent; Miss Mary Williamson. treas
urer; Miss Margaret Gcrmond. sec
rotary.
All of the churches in Alexandria
are represented in the auxiliary,
and all members Of the community
who are interested in this most
humane work Of healing the sick,
and obeying the command to
Cleanse the lepcr," are invited 10
attend the meeting ,thi1s.. evening"

EXPENSIVE TO OCALA

That Blitchton road is costing the
merchants of Ocala a good deal of
money. Thousands of pounds of
meat that have before come to the
Ocala cold storage are going to Will
liston, and people go to Williston,
Micanopy and even Gainesville to buy
goods in preference to trying to
tackle the horrible quagmires they
would have to pull thru to come to
their county seat. There is no sense
in letting the road remain in such a
condition. It runs over an easy
grade, compared with roads in many
other places. and any engineer of ord
mary skill would make it passable.
That road is the sorest spot in the
county. 1t will eventually cause a
corner of the county to be cut off if it
Is not made and kept passable

FRANKS BIG SALE

Even tho the weather man handed
Ocala a real cold package this morn
ing the big January Clearance Sale at
Franks brought out big crowds of
eager bargain hunters. Mr.. Israel
son, manager, says that the days
business has really been a surprise to
him, considering the state Of the
weather.
Besides a lot of specially attrac-
tive values in the windows there is
rugged up in the northern window a
'what-is-it?" Matches, feathers, etc.,
are made to do stunts which keep
someone always looking and guessing
at the cause.
Mr. Israelson is anticipating a
large business for his sale next week
as he proposes offering extra spec
ials for each day, and while the
prices are already attractive, he says
he still has number of specials that
will make the economical buyer sit
up and take 1potice.

LAWToN MARTINS PRIZE

Mr.. R. w. Blackjack came over

Shorthorn bull, for Lawton Martin of
Electra. This fine animal, presented
by the Shorthorn Breeders Associa-
tion, was won by young Martin with
his exhibit at the State Fair in Jack
sonville in November. Lawton Mar
tin, 14-year-old farmer boy, does
Marion county honor. He has taken
first prizes several times, and the
second prize once, for his corn ex-
hibits at Marion county and other
fairs, and sets a fine example to the
other boys. This boy had not ex-
traordinarily good land to make his
crops on-his success is owing mostly
to his industry and skillful cultiva-
tino.

The town is saddened today by the
death of Mr.. NJ. Fishel, one of it's old
est citizens, who passed away at his
home this morning.
Michael Fishel was born in Ger
shagen, province of Westphalia, Ger
many, in 1851, but came to America
when a boy. He had been a citizen OF
Ocala for thirty-two years.
He was public-spirited and kind
hearted man, and his friends wer.
many. He served two terms as mayor
OF the city, and was one of our lead
ing business men until old age and
illness confined him to his home
He leaves widow, four sons and
a daughter, with whom the commu-
nifty sympathizes deeply in their great
sorrow.
Mr.. Fishel was member of the
Woodmen and of the Fraternal I'm
ion. The funeral will be held at the
home Monday at p. m.
The picture above was taken of
Mr. Fishel when he was mayor in

CRUSADE AGAINST
THE HOOKWORM

DR.. Klock, the physician and officer
of the state board of health and ma
tional sanitary service, whose visit to
Marianna brought to life the rotten
condition of affairs in the reform
school, is in the city. DIR. Klock is
here in behalf of the campaign.
against hookworm, which the state
board is pushing in Florida. DIR.
Klock proposes to follow the rather
recent but generally effectual method
of bringing the mountain to Mahom-
et-that is, he will try to bring the
archaeological laboratory to the peo-
pie. With the aid of local physicians,
he wishes to hold clinics in Ocala,
Gainesville and other leading cities of
the state. That he will have the
hearty cooperation of Ocala physic-
ians, it is not necessary to say, and it
is to be hoped that he will have the
help of not only the doctors, but the
people thruout the state. Hookworm
is a great evil-how great is only
party realized by the vast majority,
and a great campaign of education
must be carried on to rouse the peo-
pie against it.

SINK THEM IN
THE. NORTH SEA
Admiral ROdman's Reasons for Not
Keeping German War
ships AfiOat
(Associated PressJ

Washington, Jan. 4.-Destruction
OF all capital ships of the German
navy surrendered to the Allies was
Admiral Rodman, who commanded the
American feet in the North sea dur
ing the war.
Admiral Rodman declared the ships
would not be needed; that they are of
different types than those of the AL
lies and that it would be a waste of
money to pay to maintain them.
During the war the combined Brit
ish and American fleets have had such
a predominating superiority over the
German fleet that it did not come out
and fight, Admiral Rodman said.
'If that supremacy could be main
tanned when the German fleet was in
existence what would be the object
in adding the German ships to our
forces when the danger of their at
tacking US has been removed.
"The expenses Of maintaining the
ships would be enormous. The types
are entirely Different from those of
the British and American fleet. They
are equipped with different guns and
use a different kind of ammunition.
The expense of making them CORES,
pond to ours would be almost pro-
hibitive.
Furthermore, there is no objecs
for the Allies keeping them for their
protection. By the time the Germans
can rebuild their ships and again be-
come competitors for the worlds
largest feet, these ships would have
become obsolete and have to be
thrown away anyhow"
Admiral Rodman said the ships
should be taken out in the North Sea
and sunk $50 deep that they never
could be found again. adding that if
the Allies kept them they would soon
find that they shave annexed a herd
of white elephants"
The admiral thought that all the
surrendered vessels except the cap
ital ships should be kept.
at would be foolish to destroy the
submarines, destroyers and light
cruisers" he said, "and they will be
very useful for years to come My
belief is that anything worth while
in the German navy should be kept
but that everything that can be dis
pensed with should be discarded"
