LEGION TOPICS
q. T. I.)

Topics, did hear you say There
is but one topic in legion circles now.
All they want to know is whether or
not you are going to the convention
in West Palm Beach. Each and every
member of Marion County Post No.
27 wants to go. 1t is not question
of whether he wants to go that wor-
ries him. 1t is whether he can go or
not. Those who have attended pre-
vious conventions don't have to be
urged to go to this one. Those who
still have a convention surprise in
store for them have begun to realize
that there must be something to it
when the same boys go year after
year, so they are planning to go this
year and see what it is. Don't miss
it, boys. It's hot stuff.

BASEBALL MEETING
IL. T. ~


The meeting of the Ocala Baseball
Association last night was rather
slimly attended and it seemed at first
as if Ocala had little interest in base
ball, but it was later brought out that
there were several conflicts in the
date and that some of our members
were compelled to be elsewhere. When
the meeting was called to order, things
began to pick up and the twenty men
present showed that they had pep,
persistence and enthusiasm enough to
make up for their lack of numbers. In
spite of the fact that ladies were in
vited, only one was present and she
was afraid to come in when she saw
that she was all alone.
The chief work of the meeting was
to elect officers for the coming season.
Mr.. Carl G. Rose was elected presi-
dent; DR.. E. G. Peek vice president;
R. T. Stroud, treasurer; R. L. Van
Osten, secretary; DR.. Harry Walters
and Robert A. D. tx. Y. ~ MacKay,
members of the executive committee.
Plans were discussed for raising
money for the coming season and a
number of suggestions made as to the
selection of players. 1t seemed to be
the opinion of the meeting that il
would not be necessary to look up Ell.
rods address, as his services will not
be required in Ocala this year.
The executive committee will meet
at an early date and make further
plans for financing the team and viii
elect manager and a property man
AS soon as this is done Ocala vii
have team started and can begin t,
make plans for many pleasant after
moons for the coming summer.

FIRE LAST NIGHT

Quite a number of people piled out
of bed to follow the fire trucks last
night at 1880. Although the fire ap-
peared to be close to town it seemed
like the followers of the department
would never get there because of the
various winding and sandy streets.
By the time most of the crowd arriv-
ed the source of the fire was about
exhausted. A negro house at the cor
ner of Taylor and Metz streets was
completely demolished and it was only
by the active work of the department
with the chemical that several of the
neighboring houses were saved, as
sparks were flying far and wide. The
fire was considerably beyond the last
hydrant in that direction and no water
was available.

Vast Asiatic Dependency Far
From Reassuring

London, March 3.-(By Associated
Press).-Scattering reports to news
papers indicate the situation in India
is causing increasing anxiety to the
authorities, particularly in Punjab
and the united provinces of Bengal.
The Daily Telegraph says the situa-

OPENING SHOOT OF THE

A few members of the Ocala Gun
Club pulled off a practice shoot yes
terday afternoon. The opening shoot
of the season will be staged Thursday
afternoon of next week. This will be
a very interesting affair. Two cap
tains will select their teams from the
crowd present who will shoot a fifty
target event. The losing team will
pay for the targets of the winners as
we'll as their own. All club members
are urged to be present, and visitors

pupil having any infection or conta-
gious disease.
Section III requires visits and in
spection of markets where fresh
meats and fish are exposed for sale,
and the condemnation of all such arti-
cles found unfit for food:
Section w requires the same duties
of the health officer in relationeto bak-
cries, restaurants, hotels, boarding
houses and all other places where
food is prepared and dispensed.
Section V relates to the inspection
of dairies.
Section VII makes the city health
officer the official secretary of the city
board of health, to which board he is
required to make all his reports, and
to file copies Of such reports with the
city clerk on the first day of each
month
From the foregoing, it will be seen
that not only the city health officer
and the city board of health have du-
ties to perform in such cases, but that
the public, under certain circum-
stances, is also under obligations TO
assist in taking measures to prevent
the spread of infectious and conta-
gious diseases.
1t is hoped that the readers Of this
paper will study the ordinances and
assist in every way they can or are
required to do in the necessary work
of preventing the spread of disease,
and that the officers in charge Of
such work may at all times be vigilant
and diligent to protect the health of

and interesting meeting it proved.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

For the invisible things of Him
from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even his ex-
ternal power and Godhead.-Romans
1:20.
And as the path of duty is made
plain,
May grace be given that / may
walk therein;
Not like the hireling, for his Selfish
gain,
With backward glances and reluc-
tant tread,
Making a merit of his coward
dread
But cheerful, in the light around me
thrown,
Walking as one to pleasant service
led;
Doing Gods will as if it were my
own,
Yet Trusting not in mine, but N His
4stiength alone

front page is decorated with the Chi

The February number of the Cen
fury Magazine carries story of the
American Gypsy that is as thrilling as
the story of Robin Hood. The writer
of the article, Konrad Bercovici, was
a friend of the 0'Hara tribe of gqp-
sizes who bury their dead near At
lanta in privately owned cemetery.
He tells many interesting stories Of
gypsy-lore and adds that the telling
cost him the friendship of that par
ticular O'h'ara tribe, but he consid-
ers the beauty and simplicity of the
story worth the price.
Writing of the cfeverness of gyp-
sizes in dealing with automobiles, Mr..
