it's regular meeting Wednesday. The
new officers for the coming year were
installed as follows: President, Mrs.
r. L. Anderson; vice president, Mrs.
j. w. Dumas, secretary, Mrs. G. w.
Moremen; treasurer, Mrs. R. L. An
derson Jr.
Plans for the years work were dis
cussed and resume of the past years
work was given by the secretary, Mrs.
Moremen. Altho the auxiliary is small
in numbers and young in existence,
the amount of work which was accom-
plished last year would do credit to a
much larger organization. The aux
iliary has assisted the legion in all it's
undertakings, such as the Memorial
Day services, the picnic down Silver
Springs run, the FLASHES of Action"
picture, the cleanup campaign, Arm
istice Day exercises and serving can
teen lunches each meeting night. In
addition to the assistance rendered
the post, the auxiliary has sent boxes
of goodies to all the boys from Mar
ion county who are away in hospitals
and at Christmas time sent twelve
boxes to Marion county boys who
are i'll at their homes; they contribut-
ed $1,000 to the fund for the Lake City
hospital; purchased clothing and bed
ding for one needy ex-service man
who was much in need of help to get
on his feet and the service the auxil-
larry rendered the Porter family is
well known to all. These are but a
few of the many good deeds accom-
plished by the Ocala unit of the
American Legion Auxiliary. To recite
them all would take too much space.

BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

err part of Georgia, pleading for the
lawful rights of our children and
for the protection of motherhood
in her almost divine calling of
maternity. 1t was all the argument
I needed. 1 tremble today at the
perversity of saloonists in seeking
to defeat this rightful birthright of
innocent children and the safety of
the mothers of men.
The crime wave which is spread
Ing all over, our bright horizon of
hope shows the black, soot-be-
grimed clouds of anti-prohfbition.
The man who seeks to restore the
saloons in Georgia is as bad as d
Russian anarchist. He would sacri-
flee his own children on the altar
of mammon and liquor.
A woman, who would seek to re-
store the hell-broth of intoxicating
beverages is abnormal. She de-
humanizes herself, if she is the
mother of children. OF all classes
of human kind, the women of Amer
lea should return thanks to AL
mighty God for the benefits attend

BELMONT MANSION
NOW A SHOW PLACE

PHILADELPHIA Visitors to the
international exposition here in 1926
Or 1927 will find many points of in
terest in the old mansions of Fair
mount Park. Among those worth
visiting is the old Belmont mansion
which stands on one of the highest
points in the park, commanding a
beautiful view Of the winding Schuy-
kill.
The history Of this old mansion is
interesting. Once the home of Will
liam Peters, who built it in 1745, and
a favorite resort of George Wash
ington, it is now a restaurant.
Wings have been added to the
original structure which was but O
small building. One was added in
1870 when Duke Alexis was guest of
honor at a dinner at the mansion
On the oldest part of the building
there still is a stone flag set in the
wall on the north end of what was
once the library, bearing the letters
j. w. P. and the date 1745.
William Peters, the original own
er, was a man of fortune, promi-
nent in colonial affairs. During the
Revolution, Of which he disapproved
he returned to England >and left his
estate to his famous son, Richard,
who was born in the house, and died
there in 1928.
Richard was an ardent advocate
of the colonial cause and during the
war was secretary of the board of
war, afterwards was a member Of
congress and for nearly forty years
judge Of the United States district
court.
Judge Peters was famed for his
hospitality, wit and charming and
genial personality. He was trusted
and devoted friend Of Washington,
who used to visit the mansion often.
Washington was not the only
noted visitor to the house. Benjamin
Franklin Robert Morris, John Penn,
John Adams, Jefferson, Lafayette
and the Chevalier la Luzerne were
all guests Of Judge Peters.

small squares are small in size,
while those growing in larger
squares, or in bolls are usually
large.
The variation in color is usually
associated with a difference in age.
The young weevi1s which have just

RMS color changes gradually to a
darker brown, then a light gray,
and finally to dark gray, or grayish
black as the weevil grows older.
First Stage. The first stage in the
history of the weevil is the egg. The
female weevil makes a puncture in

IN any other plant except cotton,
nor in any part of the cotton plant
except in squares and young bolls.
The egg matches within one to fif-

Dear Folks:

Dear Folks:
Have you ever had the fact that
some one really had confidence in
your judgment come to you sudden
ly? If you have, you know how
full of rejoicing I was the other day
when big fat envelope came from
one of our readers with the plan of
an old house that was to be entirely
made over and was asked to help
in the remaking. o, it has been
great fun, and 1 feel just as if I
was to have the pleasure of living in
it. OF course I have to consult build
ers before I go into much detail, but
1 don't feel SO badly about that when
I remember the experience of a
friend who lived in "gasless" town
and whose architect drew her house
plans with a beautiful gas range in
the corner Of her kitchen and no
stove flue whatever provided.
If there's anything about your
house that you feel that you'd like
to talk over with another woman,
write me, I'll do my best to answer
satisfactorily, at least you'll have an
interested reader for your letter.
Cordially,
