STUDY Of HISTORY
IN THE SCHOOLS
According to Public Service Test, Has
Considerably the Edge On
Athletics
ASSOCIATED Press)

New York, Feb. 14.-The supposed
1y national heroes of the diamond,
gridiron and screen do not stand so
high with high school and college
students, it was learned today when
the Institute for Public Service made
public results of the national current
history test taken by more than 1000
pupils. Twenty thousand averaged
only forty-six per cent on ten ques-
tions about baseball, football and the
movies. Of 5000 seniors more knew
about deValera, Lloyd George, BRAND
and Leonard Wood than about the
winner of last years baseball world
series. Some identified Christy Mathe-
son as the man who sold out the 1920
world series.

EX-SOLDIERS TRAINED
TO OPERATE VESSELS
(Associated Press)


Washington, Feb. 14-The goal of
a merchant marine manned by exclu-
sively American seamen is drawing
near, according to reports on the SUBJ
ject recently compiled.
During the past few months more
than 95 per cent of the seamen placed
on American vessels by the shipping
boards sea service recruiting bureau
were Americans, it was stated today.
When the bureau first began to func-
tion less than 10 per cent of the men
placed were Americans. As time pass
ed and the idea of having all-Ameri-
can crews aboard ships flying the
United States flag grew the number
increased gradually.
Last fiscal year 6S.S per cent of the
men placed were Americans. From
July to November, 1921, the number
increased, so that now there are ships
which have 100 per cent American
crews aboard.
The final goal is to have every ship
manned by all-American crews, with
the shore establishments equally rep
resentative of the United States.

BUZZARD WITH A BELL
PUZZLES PALM BEACHERS
ASSOCIATED Press)

West Palm Beach, Feb. 14.-Palm
Beach county has mystery and per-
sons interested are attempting to
learn who put bell on a buzzard seen
in the Everglades near Loxahatchee
Farms recently. w. A. Roebuck and
his son were hunting when they saw
flock of buzzards congregated
around a dead raccoon. AS the birds
rose they heard a bell ringing. One
buzzard held its head down as it flew
and attached to its neck was small
bell
1t is understood here that an inves-
tigator in Georgia or the Carolinas
about ten years ago released six buz-
yards with bells around their necks in
an effort to study their migratory &C
tivities. One of the birds was report
ed as having been seen in Jackson
vile and another in Mexico.

COAST LINE WILL BE ASKED
TO CHANGE IT'S ROUTE

Brooksville, Feb. 14.-Citizens of
Brooksville have revived discussion
of a proposal that the Atlantic Coast
Line change its route from Brooks
vile to Groom and by the building of
sixteen miles of track run the line
from Brooksville, through Spring
Lake and on to Trilby, making the
latter place instead of Groom the con-
Meeting point for the north, south
and east. The route was surveyed
about seven years ago and at that
time it is said the railroad promised
that when the territory produced
enough freight to warrant operation
of the line it would be built.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 10.
There have been reported to the
district Office of the United States
Veterans Bureau a number Of in
stances in which attorneys are charg-
ing claimants who applied for COM
pensation or vocational training fees
in excess of the amount allowed by
law, which amount is So for each
claim filed.
The bureau has adopted the policy
of prosecuting every attorney or other
person illegally charging fees in ex-
cess of three dollars for handling
claims against the bureau. 1t is not
necessary that a claimant take his
case to a lawyer, inasmuch as this
bureau will assist him in the prepara-
ton of his claim and inform him of
the papers necessary and will not
recognize any attorney in the presen-
tation of any claim against the bu-
reau.

CROSBY STANDS BY
THE AGREEMENT
Citra, Feb. Ii, 1922.

Citra, Feb. 13, 1922.
Editor Star: Many friends have
asked me to become a candidate for
the Senate to succeed myself, and
many others have asked if would be
a candidate.
I have been a citizen of Marion
county nearly twenty-five years, and
during that time the Office of senator
has been filled by Marion and Sumter
alternately (both counties comprising
the twentieth senatorial district) Mar
ion furnishing the senator one term
flour years. Sumter the next term.
There may or may not have been an
agreement as to this rule, but such
has been the custom, and as long as
Sumter remains part of the senator
ial district the people of Sumter
should be treated fair and right.
Sumter has furnished good and able
men, and while l would very much
like to return to the legislature again
as your senator, I will not be candi-
date for the Senate to succeed myself
if there is a good man in the race
from Sumter, and will feel that it will
be the proper and honorable thing to
do, to support Sumter county's candi-
date. Very respectfully,
w. J. Crosby.

EDITOR FARMER AROUSED
bronson Times-Democrat)

Bronson Times-Democrat)
This is a wicked age and public
morals have become so lax that the
most heinous crimes against society
scarce cause a protest, even the sense
of shame being deadened. Recently
two most bestial crimes against young
girls have been committed at Willis
ton, deeds so revolving that had they
occurred in the old days of chivalry
when men had red blood and were
proud to protect the virtue of their
womanhood, Judge Lynch would have
held quick court and there would have
been no division of opinion as to the
justice meted out. A white married
man Cor a beast who walks on two
legs like man) was placed in the
county Jail charged with violating the
chastity of little girl under sixteen
child. Before a preliminary could
be held it is said that the father of
that poor little girl came to the jail
and offered to withdraw the charge
for thousand dirty dollars. That
was the price this noble CD father
put on the soul of his little girl. Can
you imagine it? Later, it is said, this
father went in person to State Attor-
ney Crews and told him to release
the prisoner as no one would appear
against him. Another citizen of Will
liston who said that he represented
the sentiment of that town, asked
that he be released, so the jail doors
are opened and the man is free. But
sin is cumulative and sooner or later
somebody has to pay. Next young
man, Felix Sapp, enormously named
in our last issue as Ernest Sapp, see
ing the older man go unwhipped of
justice takes his sisters chum out in
Ford on Sunday night, so it is al
legged, and most brutally ravishes her.
And this seems not to arouse the
sleeping blood of fathers and broth
ers, so the law will take its course,
But there is a law older than any
Florida statute which says: "The
wages of sin is DEATH" It is high
time that the sentiment which can
witness such tragedies unmoved was
undergoing a change and more
strict parental protection thrown
around young girls whose virtue and
cleanness are the only hope of this
sinful age. Unless there is a mora
awakening, these crimes are but the
beginning of the utter collapse of our
social and moral fabric, a condition
unthinkable in this Christian age.

IMPORTANCE OF THE
BIRTH CERTIFICATE
(Associated Press)


board of health in announcing that
during 1921 more births were regis
tered in Florida than in any year in
the history of the state, stresses the
Importance of registration and calls
attention to the state law requiring
such procedure to establish legal
proof of citizenship. 1t is known,
however, the board states, that ali
births are not registered, and largely
because of this reason Florida has not
yet been accepted into the birth reg
istration area.
In pointing out the Importance of
registration the board states that
during the last year thirty-one copies
of birth certificates were certified in
order that Floridians might partici-
pate in federal compensation of voca-
tional training.
Birth certificates of two soldiers
who were killed in action during the
world war were certified in order that
their mothers might receive their war
risk insurance.
A Florida boy fifteen years of age
enlisted in the army and later sought
his discharge A birth certificate was
required to prove his age before he
obtained his release.
A man born in Florida and who had
been known all his life as "Sollie," in
quired of the vital statistics bureau to
ascertain whether it was his real
name. The original birth certificate
revealed that his name was Morton.
A certified copy of birth certifi-
cate was furnished to prove the age
of a girl held in Jail on larceny
charge. Her release depended upon
the record of her statement as to age,
which did not agree with information
furnished by a relative.
In 1898 the late DIR. R. Fl. Dean, one
of the most widely known physicians
in the state, attended a birth in a
Florida home and while filling out a
certificate told the mother the record
would be needed some time. The child
grew up, became a soldier and lost his
life in Europe. His mother, who ap-
piled for copy of her sons birth GER
tificate in order that she might re-
ceive federal compensation, said she
had remembered the statement of DR..
Dean nearly twenty years before.
A birth certificate was required in
a Florida court recently as evidence
in an action for possession Of an
adopted child.
A certified copy of a birth certifi-
cate was furnished to help Floridian
obtain a promotion in the navy.
A record of birth was requested for
use at a military trial.
One record was required in order
that a seven-year-old child, who was
born in America, might be brought
back from Spain.
Seventeen certified copies of certi-
ficates were furnished for passports,
divorce cases, various court cases and
other uses.
The board regards copy OF a
birth certificate as one of the most
important documents a person can
possess and is waging an intensive
campaign in an effort to have every
birth in the state recorded properly.

that moves to the pale realms Of
shade where each shall take his cham
Der in the silent halls of death. Thou
go not, like the quarry slave at night,
scourged to his dungeon, but sustain
ed and soothed by an unfaltering
trust, approach thy grave, like one
who wraps the drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to pleasant
dreams"
Farewell, beloved, yet not for long,
farewell!
We're nearer heaven perhaps than we
can tell.
A moments breath, or want Of
breath, and, 10!
Up thru the golden gates we, too, shall
I go,
| And greet thee in thy garments white
as snow.
Ye are not far. All, nearer than we
dream,
/ Thy place and ours, a tiny step be-
tween.
/ When work is done and Heavens bells
ring noon,
Well fold our working clothes, and
hasten home
Clasp hands in glory, ne'er to part or
roam.
Farewell, beloved, yet not for long
farewell.
