ering of men in the same church on
"A Fathers Responsibilities to His
Son." He made profound impress
sion upon both audencies.
The Doctor was especially emphatic
in calling attention to the danger that
have beset young people in this coun-
try since the close of the World War
and to the general lowering of moral
standards He named as the crying
evils that have produced the social
conditions existing throughout the
country today unchaperoned automo-
bile rides at night, the sex pictures
shown in the movie theaters, jazz
dancing and the extreme styles of
dress affected by large proportion of
girls and women. We placed the re-
sponsibility for these conditions
squarely upon the shoulders of par
ents.
At each of the meetings Dr. Barker
was introduced by Rotarian Jake
Gerig of the Committee on Arrange
ments foN the lectures. Both DR..
Barker and Rotarian Gerig spoke
most appreciatively of the splendid
crowds who attended the lectures.
They thanked the principal of the
high school and the Methodists for
the generous use of their church. Dr.
Barker spoke appreciatively of the
fact that the Baptists who are having
a revival had arranged for the attend
ance of the women and men of that
church upon his lectures. The Ro-
tarians believe that they have per-
formed a real public service, as Mr.
Gerig pointed out, in bringing DR..
Barker to Ocala.
Dr. Barker left for ST. Petersburg.
At the close of his talk he expressed
himself as greatly delighted with
Ocala and with what he saw of Ma
rion county while here, and said that
he proposed coming back to this sec
ton CT Florida. TIe was especially
carried away with the beauties of
Silver Springs and said that the
springs would be more widely adver-
tised. He was much impressed with
The fact as he stated it, that enough
water flows out of Silver Springs ev-
cry twenty-four hours to provide over
five gallons piece for every man,
woman and child in the United States.

appreciative audience. Dr. Barker is
the only lecturer who has ever been

ance at the lectures that followed, so
much were who heard him Sunday
night impressed with DR.. Barker's
message.
On Monday morning at nine o'clock
DR.. Barker addressed the students of
hte Ocala high school on How to
Make the Most Out of Life" The
students were crowded into one of
the class rooms and it was more than
evident, as Miss Sheppard, principal
Of the school, pointed out that there
is d great need for an auditorium. DR..
Barker told the students of the i'm
portance of having sound bodies, of
the necessity for concentration of the
mind and the avoidance of distrac-
ticns and of the need for brave heart
that can say mo" when the occasion
demands it.
4 large number of men and women
fail, he said, because of poor health,
and he said that no person need have
poor health. Dr. Barker said that
Theodore Roosevelt was the most ac-
tive and strenuous president the coun-
try had ever had. Up until the time
he was fourteen years of age, Roose-
welt was sickly with sunken chest,
weak lungs, and weak heart He
suffered with asthma, very unusual
thing for child Of that age. DR..
Barker said that Roosevelt built him
self up by taking a certain amount of
physical exercise each day, after he
was told by physician that he could
do SO.
Monday afternoon, DR.. Barker adj
dressed a large audience of women
in the Methodist church on "a Moth
er's Relations to Her Daughters" and

THE BANNER ABROAD

Mr.. Harold Irving Hall, writing from
Parkhill Farms, Melbourne, Quebec,
Canada, is so much pleased with the
Banner that he has enrolled his name
on its subscription books
He writes as follows:
81 have received copies of the Ocaia
Banner. am much pleased with your
paper, especially the high tone of
your editorials
I'm the past we Northerners have
been led to believe that editors of the
South were of the "Pitchfork Tillman''
variety.
1T is with feeling of great pleas
ure that | find the Banner staid and
conservative in it's editorial utter
ances, allied with a progressive spirit;
the local news service so we'll car
ried out, thus uniting a "go-anead
spirit with those stable qualities so
necessary in a growing state.
81 feel that in what hope will not
be the very distant future, when |
shall have reached Ocala, that will
find in my new made friends the
same good qualities SO characteristic
of our Canadians
Your Chamber of Commerce secre-
tary, Mr.. Louis H. Chazal, kindly
sent me the splendid booklet on Ocala
and Marion county. 1t is certainly
an eye-cDener to the average Canadian
whose mind is full CT a confused junl-
BILE of ideas that Florida is made up
of tourists, sand. aliigators, heat and
rattlesnakes-that is the general con-
ception of your state
Il wrote Mr.. McRae, your commits
sioner of agriculture, for some litera-
ture. He very kindly wrote me and
sent me lot of books and booklets
which l have studied quite minuteIy.
In one of the books l saw the name
of the Ocala Banner described as the
oldest newspaper in Florida" hence
my letter to you asking for sample
copy and subscription rates.
There are several of my friends
who, although good Canadians like
myself, love our land of the maple
but do not like our winters, which
set in about the 4th of November and
then hang on with innumerable snow
storms, with the cold often hitting
the bottom at 40 deg. below zero, until
the 10th of April; then follows a
month of snow slush and mud until
the 10th of May.

earlier, but the dairyman calculates
on seven months of feed in the stable
