 The fielding of the Bears was fea ture. The support behind both Fulton and Haid was superb. The latter has his support to thank that the Barons didn't score on him. Several sure hits were blocked by the Mobile>outfield, both Ducote and Mulvey making diff cult catches.
 McMillan was a star at short, the little fielder going way back, stop ping grounders and throwing out Barons on what seemed sure hits. Croll was the only Baron to get two hits in the last game. Ducote got two and Mulvey three hits for the Bears

tell what was right and what was in
contraversion of the rules of Hoyfe.
/ The limo operator who got the
"clox" take, threw a couple of spasms,
according to plans and specifications
laid down for consideration of those
who have been kicked by the festive
Oklahoma White Mule. The foreman,
however. assured the keyboard artist
that all he had to do was to follow
copy" and check the bet TO the proof
reader.
The proof reader, when he got
the replica of the war map of Ireland
from the hands of the galley boy. took
one slant at the "cloX." paused, laud'
ried his spectacles, turned on an extra
electric light, opened up the throttle
OF the gas stove another notch, gave
one long and penetrating look at the
proof" backed up by n side glance
at the copy" assgted with vehe-
hemence well, IN be damned.
and then burnt the trail which leads
from the proof room TO the society
EDITORS desk.
The society editor being young and
possessed of an immature judgment
passed the buck and tried to switch
the conversation into a line OF argu-
ment wherein wrist watches took a
prominent part.
Next the man OF corrections gave
the S. O. s. call to the city editor,
but that lady had an important news
engagement with a foreign diplomat
and, standing upon constitutional
rights, refused to be interviewed.
Not 10 be put off with such stalling.
however, the proof reader appealed
TO the managing editor, who stated
with angered expression, backed up by
adjectives loud and deep, that he had
already been queried ahout that
double dashed piece of time-keeping
pharaphernalia and cared nc to-, be
further bothered.
II was then that the editor Of the
Weekly Ardmoreite, a woman who is
well versed in social affairs and arti-
cles of feminine beauty-enhancing
wearing apparel, came to the rescue
and explained that the "clox" referred
to had nothing TO do with recording
the passing time; that they were not
related to the folles worn upon the
wrists Of some smart men and all
women and men Of unsound mind;
that they were not even the kind Of
time-keepers worn, by fashions de-
cree, attached TO fancy-bowed CART
ers, but that these "clox" were in
reality only a series of neat and
artistically arranged holes which were
scattered at regular intervals up and
down the length of the hose, in order
| that all men might get an eyeful and
satisfy themselves that "milady" had
properly secured her feet when taking
her morning bath.
With a dissatisfied grulnble the
proof reader slapped his okay on
the offending article. the limo operator
grunted and let il go, and the makeup
man played the ad, with the "clox,"
into choice position, while the stew"
subsided and smmered as the big
press ground out the holes in the sox
with the clox.

gladness now have place on earth.
The anniversary of His birth is pre-
eminently the childrens festival. The
church celebrates His sacrificial death
by regularly and solemnly observing
the Lords supper, but the children
commemorate His advent into the
world in the unspeakable joys of
The Yuletide. Away with the myth
cal Kris Kingle and the impossible
santa Claus. There is no need OF
invention or fiction. Let US rather
tell the children of the Babe of
Bethlehem.
A saviour was expected by the
Jews. without Him the law was
incomplete.
1t was a burden no man could
bear. None was saved by it. Sal
walton for all mankind looked forward
to and depended upon a Saviour. The
Prophets had predicted His coming.
The sweet psalmist had sung of His
coming All Jews had expected Him.
4 Saviour was necessary to them.
The law was severe and incomplete.
They CROPPED in denye darkness as
to the future. The law revealed to
them nothing of he'll. nothing Of
heaven. Even the chosen people Of
God had so means of salvation except
by absolute and perfect obedience,
Since none had kept it none was
saved by it. All are LOST without a
Saviour.
Equally necessary is Saviour TO
us. Back of all sects, schisms, de-
nominations, back Of the Bible itself
is the need of Saviour. To meet
this universal worldwide. age-long,
fundamental need comes the angelic
announcement: There is born to you
this day in the city Of David, a
Saviour"
Which is Christ the Lord" He
is the Messiah of prophecy, the Lord,
Gods son, co.equal and co-existent
with the Father.
Small wonder the angel could say:
Behold, I bring you good tidings Of
great joy" They have been in bond
age and are TO be set free. A univer-
sal kingdom is TO be established in
which the Messiah, the Son of David
the only begotten Son Of God Is to
forever occupy the throne.
ITO all people" indicates the scope
Of His power, the universally Of
His religion. Therefore. in these
happy days Of the Yuletide let all OF
the children of men among all ma
tions rejoice and be exceedingly glad.
1T is more blessed to give than
to receive" Strange words uttered
by this Man of Gallilee. They We're
not quoted by any OF his four bio
graphers. Long after his death and
resurrection another quotes these
strange words, utterly at variance
with the thought of the age. The
phrase had lived in the current
story of his life No other words
Of his express the Christmas Spirit
like these. He came not to be min
istered unto but 10 minister He re-
ceived nothing. He gave much. He
was especially gracious to children.
This is the Children's Holiday and
Festival. This is not n time for
glu'tony or drunkenness or excess on
inordinate amusement. II is a time
Of gladness, of gratitude, when the
children Of men vie with each other
in trying 10 make the world happier.
Love declares itself in gifts. Good
will is carried across the plains
through the mails and flashed across
the continent on the lightning's wing.
Let all the sons of men rejoice
in the celebration Of the Lion Of the
Tribe OF Judah.

THE VICTORY WAY AND
TUSCAWILLA PARK

Any one seeking a pleasant place
to bask IN the sunshine on these cool
days will be agreeably surprised by
a visit TO Tuscawilla Park. Do you
know what and where Tuscawilla
Park is? If not, it is high time you
are finding out for you Will be back
number very shortly if you have not
strolled down the avenue and mean
dered up the winding pathway among
the palms and Towering trees of
Ocala's latest acquisition.
To reach Tuscawilla Park from the
courthouse you walk east on Okla
waha avenue two blocks, then north
two blocks, each again one block and
there you are. On the corner you will
see the attractive bungalow of the
Woman's Club. By the way, the Wom-
ans Club is responsible for the hand
some new avenue leading to the park
as well as for the park itself. "Nic-
tory Way" they have named the ave
nue. and it has been planted as way
of remembrance" in honor of the
splendid men and women whose stars,
triangles and crosses adorn the Wom-
ans Club service flag.
In the park. beyond the entrance to
Victory Way. the ground rises in a
gentle slope forming a natural ampi-
theater surrounded by the broad
curve of the avenue.
On the crest of the hill comfortable
seats have been placed, in the shade
in you wish, or in positions where one
may enjoy the warm sunshine on a
winter day. Swings will soon be
placed here, too. and the park COM
mittee has not forgotten our four
footed friends, for drinking fountains
for them have been provided. These
have been placed here in memory of
| the service of the dumb beasts in the
| war, for we do not forget that to
them, too, is due share in the glory
! of victory.
| The planting of trees along the
memorial avenue has been completed
oaks along the side and magnolia
thru the center. The drives are one
/ way drives-down on the eastern side
around the curve and back by the
western. From the curve in the park
several drives lead off in different di-
rections. These are being planted in
palms and wild Towering trees and
! shrubs. From the crown of the hill
the eye sweeps back toward the en-
trance over Victory Way and the eff,
feet is so pleasing that one can not
help but admit the magnificent posi-.
bilities of Tuscawilla Park.
The drinking fountains and many
of the palms and other plants have
been the gifts of various persons and
for these gifts the committee feels
very grateful. With continued en-.
couragement and assistance the park
is an assured success and to the PEG,
pie of Ocala and her yearly visitors il
will be ching of beauty and joy
| forever"
