Mental House Cleaning.

The majority of people need men
tai house cleaning. Mental filth and
scum never contribute TO clean living.
Learn to tackle big problems and con-
tribute your mite to the worlds prog
ress. When the mind sees things in the
right perspective you can build noble
structures on the concept. And as yOu
build the ideals will expand in scope,
taking breadth and altitude as the
mind dwells on ''the worth while"
There has never been a greater chal-
lenge for men of giant mind than now.
Yet so often what CLOVIS in promise is
little more than the effervescence of
fetid ideals. Men need the clean life.
1t offers nothing it cannot fulfill. The
progress of it may be slow, but it rises
TO heights never reached by men of
degraded mentality. You can reform
the past If you think and do right
Step into the forefront and lead men
out of the present unrest into clean,
noble living that will exalt the nation.

FEHRENBACH MAY BE FIRED
SEEMS LIKE SOMEBODY
HAS 1T IN FOR SAM

Sam Pyles the undertaken can't help
feeling like Fate or somebody else has
it IN for him.
Saturday night. somebody broke
into his undertaking establishment,
opposite the postoffice, and stole sew
eral articles, not of any great value,
but rather annoying to lose.
Monday evening Mr.. Pyles and his
wife went to visit the formers moth
er, who lives over near the primary
school. They occupy rooms over
Pyles & Company's undertaking par
lors, and when they returned home,
about ten o'clock. on opening the door
they found the front room so full of
smoke that they thought the house
was about to burst into flames. Mr..
Pyles called the fire department,
which responded in a jifiy. The fire.
men found the ware room back of the
parlor full of smoke, but could see
only a small blaze, which they easily

small fire had been started under the
floor. The floor is close to the ground
which has tendency to be damp; con-
sequently, a small opening has beer
left to admit the air. The fire started
couple of feet to the side of this
opening and it is difficult to see how
it could have started unless set inten.
tionally.
Mr.. Pyles didn't know he had any
enemies, and as there is nothing ar
ordinary. person could use or sci
about an undertaking establishment
he has not thought it necessary to put
anything but the most ordinary lock:
on his doors. He is making up for the
omission today. His loss is not heavy
and has not crippled his business, but
the two occurrences are very annoy

BIG HAUL Of BOOZE
Sheriff and His Deputies Gather in
Two Carloads of Swizzle: Also
Their Owners

The Miami pipeline has again been
tapped. Sheriff Thomas and his depu-
ties are always looking for that some
what elusive conduit. and Monday
they made q big leak in it. Two Mi
aim men, two roadsters, one an Essex,
the other a Buick, and 160 quarts of
the real stuff, were captured.
The men were Edward and Daniel
Smit hof Miami. Deputy Sheriff Cor
don roped one in yesterday, and the
other was nabbed last night The liq-
uor was cached in an oUthouse on the
premises OF J. w. Hunter. Edward
Smith is Mrs. Hunters brother. M.
Hunter has been sick abed for some
days. Sheriff Thomas thinks that
Mr.. Hunter was unaware of the liq-
uor being on his premises. 1t is en-
tirely possible that the Smiths took
advantage of the circumstances to
conceal the liquor where it was found.
We are afraid there are several
parching and tantalized palates in
Ocala today. We understand that sew
eral applications have been made to
Judge Futch, alleging violent illness
and pleading DR.. A. Mitchell Palmer's
prescription for the sick. The natur-
ally kindhearted Judge can only tell
them the Florida law and DIR. Palmer's
prescription do not fit. and that he
isn't working for the U. S. department
of justice now.

Black pearls are rarer, but are

His Collection.

There is a curious game played by
educators, which. consists in sending
questionnaires to some hundreds, or
some thousands, of school children,
and tabulating their replies for the
enlightenment of the general public.
The precise purport of this game has
never been defined; but its popularity
impels us TO envy the leisure that edu-
Gators seem to enjoy. A few years
ago 1.214 little Californians were
asked if they made collections of any
kind, and If so, what did they col
lect? The answers were such as might
have been expected. with one excep-
