bright nasturtiums cast a CHEEKY ex-
preston throughout the room

ingly gowned in afternoon frocks, in
formally greeted their guests at the
front door, introducing the bride-to-
be. who never looked lovelier. She

invited guests on this occasion.

ability and cleverness displayed at
this party, which was one of the
many pretty compliments rendered to

ALUMNI REUNION TO Be THE BIGGEST EVER
BRGADIER GENERAL A H. OTHER pRONINpNr
MEMBERS AT THE


Gainesville, May 28.-The Univer-
sity of Florida alumni are to hold the
biggest reunion yet, at Gainesville,
Monday, May 31st. Brigadier General
A. H. Blanding, w. w. Flournoy and
other noted graduates are to talk at
the alumni luncheon in the university
commons at 2 p. m.
Prior to 1905, the five colleges that
form the present University of Flor
ida were scattered over the state. The
teachers college was at DeFuniak
Springs, the agricultural college at
Lake City, etc. Under the Buckman
bill these five little colleges were
merged into one big university, the
University of Florida. The alumni of
the old institutions, so far as they
could be located, were given diplomas
by the U. of F. Ga number of such d.
plomas will be given this year,. All
graduates of those old schools are
considered alumni of the university
and are entitled to diplomas if they
have not already received them.
1t is now fifteen years since the
University of Florida was reorganiz-
ed. This year a very special effort
has been made to bring the older
alumni back. They are coming and
In force; coming to see the progress
the school has made and to help the
youngsters in the alumni association
plan "a greater Florida"
General Blanding is a graduate of
the East Florida Seminary and is one
of the most honored of the University
of Florida alumni. He saw some of
the fierce fighting in France and was
cited "For courageous and determin-
ed qualities of leadership frequently
demonstrated in the battles and en-
gagemnts of this division (Hq Div.
S. o. 33) in France and Belgium"
w. w. Flournoy (F. A. c. 1850 is
another alumnus of note who will
talk. Mr.. Elournoy, an ex-state SEN
atOr, is now a member of the board
of control. He is one of the most able
jurists in the state and a splendid
speaker. Their are other headliners
coming back also, every one full of
"pep." The older alumni are going
to show the youngsters what "pep"
is-and they will furnish the balance
wheel of experience during the big
plans that are to be laid to help the
university.
Are the younger alumni coming?
Sure they are! They always come,
but more are coming this year than
ever before, for this is to be "Flor-.
ida's" biggest alumni pow WOW.

and experience and reflection. His
high moral and physical courage
which he inherited from a. long line of
farming ancestors has been tried and
strengthened by contact with the
world and intimate association with
all classes of people.
Opponents of Legal Authority
"Bolshevism, as we know. comes to
Florida is the guise of the so-called
/. w. w. These are the ones who
openly denounee all constitutional au-
thority; they are in open rebellion
against all forms of law and order.
They profess no religion; they ac~
knowledge no God, and proclaim that
it is their purpose to blot the stars
and stripes from our flag with red
paint. Their lodges and secret con-
claves are organized in every city and
town in the country. Their spies are
already industriously sowing the seeds
of discord in all industrial classes
They are secretly organizing in every
rural district. They are setting the
employer against the employees and
if they succeed in accomplishing their
openly avowed purpose, will utterly
destroy every agricultural activity,
our fertile fields will lie fallow. cur
groves will no longer be cultivated,
our fruit will rot on the trees, our
blooded live stock will degenerate into
wild cattle. Every farmer will be
ruined and the wheels of every mill
and factory will cease to turn. and
want, grim and gaunt. will sit at
every freside.
Time to Elect Strong Governor
"It is a well known fact that this
bolshevistic q propaganda has already
sent negro emissaries from the north
into Florida to try to convert our
erstwhile happy and contented color
ell people to their anarchistic beliefs;
this sinister activity has already
borne bitter fruit. 1t is indeed time
for US to elect a governor who is the
very incarnation of safe conserva-
tism, man Of cool, clear judgment,
OF far-seeing craftsmanship, trained
intellect, and unfaltering moral and
physical courage, and we are fortu-
nate indeed in having such a man
who is ready and willing to serve in
that capacity. -,
"Mr. Hardee has the four funda-
mental characteristics upon which
have been built the highest type of
American manhood. namely: He has
intelligence to Immediately determine
correctly the right of any proposition
and the moral courage to decide in
favor of the right. and having SO de-
cided he has the tenacity of purpose
to stick to the right without fear or
faltering, and the physical courage
to come out boldly into the open and
say where he stands.
81 believe that all political factions
in the state should hasten to bury
their differences and unite with all
the business interests and all the up
lift interests to make his election
practically unanimous"

A CHALLENGE

Rev. S. S. Offut, assistant Boy
Scout master. has organized a base
ball team, composed of Boy Scouts,
and judging from the following chal-
lenge he has unlimited confidence in
their ability as ball players.
The "Boy Scout Star Ball Team"
proposes to play a team composed of
the merchants and clerks of Ocala,
Thursday, June 3rd. at p. M, in
Hunter Park.
Messrs. I'll. A. Waterman, Frank
Harris Jr. and Jack c. Kassell are
the gentlemen who are organizing the
team that will go down in defeat at
the hands Of the "Boy Scout Stars"
and in the presence of oil sport living
people of Ocala on the above mention
ed date.
These three gentlemen do not real
ize the humiliation that is in store
for their team, if they accept this
challenge, but they will be the respon-
sible parties and will need the SYM
pathy of all tender-hearted ball fans
of Ocala, as they will get none from
the "Scout Stars" 1t is not our bus
mess to bestow sympathy upon
broken-hearted ball players. but we
will glory in their humiliation.
The only restriction we name in the
agreement is that the merchants and
clerks team do not use professionals
or any player from the high school
team.
If you will accept this challenge
please notify US through the Ocala
Star Saturday.
We urgently request three owners
of automobiles to decorate their cars
attend the game and give the Victors
free ride about the public square.
Admission to game free.
