Sneak Thief Tries
to Rob Blake Home

Late yesterday afternoon a young
negro was discovered in the home of
j. F. Blake, on Carr street, ransack-
ing the drawers in bedroom, but be-
fore he could secure anything he was
frightened away.
Mrs. Blake had gone across the
street to visit neighbor, and saw
someone moving about in the house.
She called out, thinking it was some
of the children. This frightened the
negro, and he made break across
the vacant lot in the rear of the lit
tie church at Carr and Thirteenth
streets. The police were notified,
but when they arrived the intruder
had disappeared.

TWELVE PUTNAM
COUNTY BOYS To
TAKE TRAINING
Leave for Various Mill,
tary Posts to Undergo
Tour of Duty

Three hundred and twenty-five
Florida boys have been accepted for
the citizens military training camps
to be held at Camp Mcclellan, Annis-
ton, Ala, and Fort Barrancas, Pen
sacola, Fla, July 26 to August IS.
These citizens camps are designed
to give young men sufficient training
in three summers to equip them as
commissioned officers in case Of
emergency, and last year six times as
many applications were received as
young men who could be accepted for
training from the fourth corps area
at Camp Jackson. Only 81 Florida
boys were accepted, while 224 went
from Georgia. Realizing that if the
young men of Florida, in case of
emergency, were to compete with
men from the other southern states,
they should also take advantage Of
this great opportunity to equip
themselves for greater service to the
state, B. C. Riley, director of the gen
eral extension division, University
of Florida, made special effort this
year to interest Florida boys in the
camps. As a result Florida was the
first state in the union to subscribe
its quota and when recruiting closed
May 81, Florida's quota had been
over-subscribed by 20 per cent.
In view of these facts, the war de-
partment, through the commander OF
the fourth corps area, notified Mr.
Riley that not only Florida's quota
of 1913 men. but all who had quail
fled by May 81 would be accepted for
training. As a result Florida will
have 800 men in the citizens camps
which number, based on white pop
ulation, is 70 per cent more than any
other southern state.
Many of Florida's best high school
athletes and college men will attend
camp at Camp Mcclellan and Fort
Barrancas, where it is expected that
they will carry off many honors, du-

Hap Merryday is one of the many
who believe that Cliff Loveland was
telling the truth when he reported
that a fourteen-foot alligator had
swallowed one of his mules at Sat
suma. Hap has had experience with
gators and if what he says is true,
no doubt many will be converted to
even Goss Mattox's statement that a
big gator can slap mule clean
across the St. Johns river. ID,
In cons gone when Hap was a boy
and there were no railroads in Flor
ida, Hap, Joe Haughton, L. F. Jack
son, Henis Petermann and other
boys of those days, played around an
| old pier about where the Florida
East Coast bridge is now. Under this
pier a giant saurian established his
habitat and the boys planned to catch
him.
"We secured a one-inch grass
rope" said Mr.. Merryday, land ropes
in those days had some strength, lei
me tell you. With this rope we de-
cided to lasso the gator, fixing g
moose, and setting it as trap so thai
when he got up on his slide anC
started to go into the water he wOult
get caught. Sure enough, one da!

men from the University Of Florida,
who, under the direction of Major J..
A. Van Fleet, took all honors in col
lege rifle competition, winning indi-
vidual and team high scores at the
camp conducted for representatives
from R. o. T. C. units throughout
the south, just closed.
The camps will afford great va
cation for the boys at government
expense. In addition to military in
struction, there will be plenty of OPP
pOrtunity for recreation and sports
of all kinds. The Florida boys will
be all together in the same regiment
with those of Georgia and South
Carolina and good time is assured.
The following boys from this county
we're accepted and will attend camp.

Clifford McCrocklin, who was one

the story, partly through his own ex-
perience, as we'll as warning issued
TO him by Cliff Loveland.
When Mac was a policeman in
Kentucky he found dead mule on
,, the street, the name of which he did
not know how to spell. When he
went to write out his report he asked
the desk sergeant how to spell the
name of the street and the sergeant
didn't know, either. So Mack went
out, ard, returning shortly, made his
report in due form. When asked
why he didn't make it out the first
time he said he couldn't spell the
name of the street, so he moved the
mule around on a street the name of
which he could spell. Clifford says
that now ne remembers it moving a
mule is not such a hard matter for a
J good stout boy.
