One evening my friend and I went
to church. AS it was raining we both
wore our rubbers.
We had to 90 upstairs in the bal
cOhy because the lower part of the
church was filled. My friend took his
rubbers off and one of them accident
ally fell through the opening in the
railing. The dirty wet rubber hit a
bald-headed man squarely on the top
Of his head. He turned around and
gazed at us long and hard. SO did
everyone else. We made our escape
hurriedly with profuse blushes.-Ex-

GAVE WORLD POWER TO ROME
conquerine Leglons Carried the Eagles
to Victory In Practically Every
Known Land.

In the early days of its history the
republic of Rome consisted of a city,
but wars of conquest extended its
dominion over the whole Italian pen
insula. For centuries only the citi-
zens Of Rome had vote in the elec-
ton of the ruler. The republic was
conquering state, and extended RO-
man power as far north and west as
Spain, the British isles, Belgium, and
Germany, and as far east as the Black
sea. At first the army consisted of a
levy of citizens. As Rome came to
need more than one army at once and
warfare grew more complex stand
ing force was built up, and it was
largely because Of its superior equip
ment and discipline that the armies
Of the barbarians, often superior in
numbers, were defeated and crushed.
The unit Of the Roman army Of that
time was the legiO, translated into
English, the legion. 1t corresponded to
a regiment in our army but was much
larger, for a Roman legion contained
from 1000 to 6,000 men. They were
heavy infantry with some cavalry. The
leglOns comprised the first-class troops,
while the auxilia, or auxiliaries, were
the troops of the second class.
At the time of the death of the first
emperor, Augustus, in the year IA A.
D., the Roman army consisted of %
such leglons This heavy infantry lost
much of its importance when the bar
barian invasions altered the character
of ancient warfare and made cavalry
a more important arm than infantry in
the late Third and the Fourth cen
turies
The word legion came to express
any large number with the accessory
ideas of order and subordination.

NOT AN EASY OCCUPATION
Deep-sea Diver May With Much Truth
Be Said Constantly to walk
With Death"

How does a deep-sea diver feel
when he puts on his diving suit? Capt.
@. A. w. MoncktOn tells US in Some
Experiences of a New Guinea Resi-
dent Magistrate" that the feeling is
by no means pleasant.
The moment the face glass is
screwed tight, he says, and the air
pump begins TO work, the diver feels
that he has a grievance As he de-
cendS the feeling becomes more posi-
tive until he is in a fury Of rage
against everyone in general and usual
ly against one person in particular
At the bottom he spends much of his
time wondering how soon the dress
can be taken off so that he can injure
the person against whom he has the
imaginary grievance. However, the
moment the face glass is removed,
and the diver breathes the ordinary
air, the bad temper leaves him, and
he wonders what caused his anger.
The divers greatest danger is that
of being drowned when he is on his
way to the surface. After a time, it
seems, the best of diving dresses be-
comes lcaky, and the water that finds
It's way through the seams settles
round the feet and the legs; divers
become accustomed TO having their
dresses filled with water up to the
knees and even to the thighs. How
ever, when a diver who has water in
the bottom of his suit is being hauled
to the surface he may involuntarlly
or accidentally allow his body to be-
come horizontal, and if he does so
the water at once rushes into his
helmet, stands him on his head and
browns him.-Youth's Companion.

Remarkable Old Beliefs.

Since the age of legend, thunder
and lightning making has always been
made the final proof of the supernat-
ural Thor and his huge hammer,
which accounted for the thunder to
the old Norsemen, and Joye or Jupiter,
who hurled his lightning and thun-
der in anger and thus explained this
natural phenomenon to the old Greeks
and Romans, are only two of the
hundreds of instances in ancient be-
lief.
In later times the brand Of magl-
clan and evil-doer was put upon many
alchemists, with rumors that splitting
tongues Of fire and crashes Of thunder
were seen and heard in their labora-
tories.

There was a wild and frenzied scat

had in hand and stood not upon the

like frightened roebucks, hitting only

COUNTY FAIR PLANS
co FORWARD FOR
SPLENDID EXHIBIT
County Agent Bending
His Energies for a
Fine Show

Now that Putnam County Fair
association has been formed, and the
county commissioners have set aside
sum of money to be used for its
part of the expenses, County Agent
d. A. Armstrong has set himself to
work to arouse interest among the
farmers so that they will make spe-
cIal efforts to provide exhibits that
will properly exploit the interests of
the county.
The people in each community will
be asked by Mr.. Armstrong to elect
a fair committee to supervise the
collection of the products and they
will be shown by communities. This
does not exclude the individual ex-
hibits Of any one even if they con-
tribute toward the community ex-
hibit. The catalogue of premiums is
now being made up and will soon be
complete so that it can be placed
with the printer. These will be we'll
distributed throughout the county
so that everyone can learn of the
wide range of products to be shown.
While money is badly needed by the
fair association to complete its plans,
it is nevertheless going ahead and
working toward the consummation of
a county fair of some kind. The peo-
pie of each commissioners district
should make it their duty to express
their desire to have a fair this winter
to their respective commissioners so
they will feel that it is their duty to
their people to contribute to the sup
port of the fair That there will be
some necessary expense in hiving the
fair cannot be denied, but we believe
the benefits derived will bring big in
terest on the money expended.
1t is planned to use the exhibits
that are assembled here at the two
big fairs, Jacksonville and Tampa,
and in this way the county will have
a fine chance of winning the prizes.
The site has been secured for the
fair, and if possible at least one
will be constructed this year.
The site is just south of the Selden
factory and has been secured for a |
.erm of years.

JACK HOLT IN CALL OF
NORTH" AT GRAND

"The Call of the North" the fea-
ture picture which will be the attrac-
ton at the Grand tomorrow, is the
latest Paramount picture starring
Jack Holt. This popular screen star
is seen as a Canadian trapper in the
north country, in a story that is
virile and fast-moving and powerful
in its drama. 1t is adapted from the
novel by Stewart Edward White and
the play by George Broadhurst.
The picture takes the audience to
the fur country where the Hudson
Bay company, the great fur-trading
organization, rules supreme. Gree
traders" men who dare to compete
with the company, are routed out by
fair means or foul. But there is one
free trader" who dares to buy and
sell his own pelts in open defiance to
the tyrannical factor, the local leader
of the Hudson Bay company. The
clash between them is inevitable.
"The Call of the North" is one of
those picturse which carry the mag
nation of the spectator into the very
heart of the country, it is picturing.
This feature was filmed against a
rugged mountain background which
adds greatly to its artistic beauty
Jack Holt is supported in this pic
ture by a splendid cast including
Madge Bellamy, Noah Berry, Fran
els Mcdonald and Helen Ferguson.
Joseph Henabery directed the pic
ture.
