AN APPRECIATION OF
WESTLAKE HOLLINRAKE

In 1911 there came to Ocala and
into our Sunday school three little
boys. They had been given to God in
their infancy and so we'll had the
father and mother performed the vows
they made when those children were
baptized, they grew up to be force
for good, both in our church and in the
community.
Seth Westlake being the oldest, was
all that an older brother and son
should be; a good comrade to his
brothers and giving to his parents a
love and devotion rarely seen. He was
to his mother both son and daughter.
God gave to Westlake fine mind,
which he conscientiously used, stand
ing high in both school and university,
so that he was pleasure to teach. He
was faithful in every walk of life.
According to Gods plan, for Every
mans life is plan of God" he had
finished his work here, so God took
him unto himself on the 7th day of
January in the twenty-third year of
his life.
"Mine eyes shall be upon the faith
full of the land, that they shall dwell
with me: he that walketh in a perfect
way shall serve me-"
God required his offerings to be
without spot or blemish, therefore we
can see why he should take one so
faithful and pure to dwell with him.
We of the Presbyterian church and
Sunday school are thankful that God
let us have Westlake to dwell among
US for season and as the offering of
the Philippians to Paul was San odor
of sweet SMELL" so the fragrance of
his beautiful life will remain with US.

E. T. BECKER

On the evening of January IL, 1922,
great shock and deep sorrow came
to the wife and many friends of Mr..
E. T. Becker, when the messenger of
death suddenly summoned him to his
heavenly home. He being in the best
of health, made the shock greater. He
left as his only relative in this country
his grief stricken wife, to whom he
was a tender and devoted companion.
Mr.. Becker, strong in his convic-
tions, clean in his habits of life, low
ing his fellow man, honest and
straightforward in all his dealings
with every one, was well prepared to
fill his important position in life.
God in his infinite wisdom has seen
best I'd remove him from our midst,
and away from his beloved compan-
ion; therefore be it resolved:
First. That we, the members of
the Ladies' Aid of the Dunnellon Bap-
tist church, extend our heartfelt SYM
pathy to the broken-hearted wife, who
is and has been dear friend and
earnest co-worker with US, and COM
mend her to Him, who is able to heal
our sorrows.
Second That copy of the resolu-
tions be sent to his wife, the Ocala
Star and the Citrus County Chronicle
for publication, and that a copy be
placed on the records of our society.
Mrs. A ]. Turner,
Mrs. l.. M. Kibler,
Mrs. J. T. Rawls,

ocALA. FLORIDA. TUESDAY. JANUARY "a. 1922
CRACK !!
Baseball Fans Beginning to Yearn TIC
Hear the Apple Meet
The Willow
IL. T. u


The warm weather of the past few
days makes the baseball fan imagine
he hears the crack of the bat as it
meets the ball on the nose or the thud
of the ball as it hits the NIT. Ocala's
squad is not out for practice yet but
baseball is in the air. Several of the
players have been inquiring as to the
whereabouts of the mits and balls.
Their arms are beginning to itch and
their fingers to long for the feel of the
old apple. Who wants to hear lit
tie about the prospects for 1922?
Roy Galloway is already warming
up. Can he come back? We can tell
you more about that later.
Harry Wood is available for this
summer. Harry is married now and
will be steadier than ever.
Joe Brooks is with US still.
Jimmie Liddell has not left yet for
the South Florida League and we hope
he will be our stellar out-fielder again.
Jack Powell and Fred Luffman are
both in college this year and will play
ball under good coaches this spring.
When they return they will have had
several months intensive training and
should be 100 per cent better than
they were last year.
Hansel Leavengood wants to play
outfeld for US this year.
Frank Harris is still here with his
consistent batting eye.
Norman Horne is in Ocala regular
ly now and Norman is a good pitcher.
Tell Norman you want to see him in
the box this year.
A new banker is in our midst. His
name is Smith. Kinder hard to re-
member his name but the report is
that he can play little baseball all
by himself. He has been gamboling
around shortstop all over Georgia.
Now listen to what Smith says. He
says that Mr.. Sam T. Wilson, our new
jeweler, has a son in college who is
some little pitcher and that he will be
in Ocala this summer.
Taylor said last summer he would
play with us this year.
Mr.. E. C. Mcleod, of Kendrick, says
he has boy named Paul who is the
champion pitcher of South Carolina.
Paul Mcleod has been making Fur
man University famous in baseball all
over the Palmetto State, and Paul is
lonesome for Florida. He wants to
come to see his old dad this summer
and he wants to play ball.
Now comes another fan who states
that he has been talking to jolly, the
old timer from upstate. He says that
Jolly told him he would like to play
with Ocala this year. Jolly used to be
a humdinger.
Walton Bishop, Marion county's
good outielder, will likely be able to
play ball this summer. He lives at
Reddick but that isn't far away.
Have you given DIR. Harry your
check for 500 yet? Well, why are
you waiting so long to do it? Don't
you know that Doc is too busy to look
you up? Come on now, step. up to
the box Office and register your will
ingness to see ball game with cash,
the best argument in the world.

PERSONALITY OF THE
BRASS KEY FOUNDERS
(Associated Pressl

West Palm Beach, Jan. 24.--An
identity, even a personality that
knows no limits of space is that among
telegraph operators. just as the hu-
man voice is recognized over the tele-
phone so are the personal characteris-
tics Of an operator manifested over
the telegraph circuit or through the
wireless waves.
Long before the coming of wireless.
Morse telegraphers were able to
recognize familiar fellow at the dis
tant end of the wire by the peculiari-
ties in his manipulation of the dot and
dash characters. With the advent of
the wireless the phenomena became
all the more striking, and operators
who frequently work together, altho'
miles apart, can recognize the other
once he takes hold of the sending"
key.
All this leads to two interesting
stories that developed from sending
wireless message by an operator on
board freighter recently in which
the operator asked that his father,
living here, put off and meet him as
the freighter passed up the coast.
Dave Cawman, the operator aboard
the freighter, en- route from Havana
TO New York, flashed q message at
random addressed to his father, Jas.
L. Cawman. in care of George Hill.
Louis Reokwalter. local amateur
operator, picked up the message and
effected its delivery. The father put
off in small fishing boat and was
waiting expectant when the steamer
hove in sight. The steamer continued
full speed and the fishing boat was
pushed to keep alongside as father
and made efforts to converse. Just
as the freighter pulled ahead the SON
dropped a can containing letter In
which he outlined future sailings Of
his vessel.
Rexford L. Peters, who served as
wireless operator aboard the trans
, port South Bend with Cawman dur
ing the war, was at bis station in Mid
dleport, Ohio, when Cawman flashed
the message to his father. He thought
he recognized the telegraphic avoice"
behind the aerial waves and so he
wrote Mr.. Hill, in whose care the
message was addressed His letter fol-
lows:
Dear Friend. Having heard the
message on the night of January 13.
to John w. Cawman in care of you
from station signing with the call
letters @WS" and the message signed
Dave" I would thank you very much
if you could tell me if the sender was
Dave Cawman. The reason / asked is
/ recognized the sending as just like
his when we were together on the u.
S. army transport "South Bend" II
you happen to know him, please give
him my address. If not, / beg your
pardon and thank you for the trouble.
Yours very truly,
Rexford~ i. Peters.
Mr.. Hill also received an inquiry
from Westerly, r. /. He too was
listening in" apparently, and recog-
nized Dave.
