ROTARIANS HAD
LIVELY SESSION
Their Meeting Last Night was an In-!

Affair
The meeting of the Ocala Rotarians,
in the dining room of the new Ma Masonic
sonic Masonic home Friday night, was an "All
Rotary" meeting, even to the chef,
who prepared the oyster supper. Ro Ro-tarian

brewed an elegant oyster stew. Or is

and Louis Chazal. The evening be began

"The Prairie Flower." This .was fol followed

society columns that is, those who

piesent, no one could swear whether
the spoons were on the right side of
the plates or not.
During supper the minutes of the
previous meeting were read and the
business matters of the club disposed
of. This completed, the club sang a
lusty song. And it should be said
that the Rotarians are getting to be
very lusty song birds. There are a
few horrible discords in each chorus,
but the general effect is good.
At this point, Ed. Chace, president
of the club, turned the meeting over

to supper, they found numbered place
cards at each plate. Each number
corresponded to numbers which were
placed in a hat, and, at the request of
Rotarian Borland, Rotarian Jake
Gerig drew a number from the hat.
The Rotarian with the corresponding
number of his place card was request requested

basket. The package was some two

its being opened, it was found it con contained

The first name acquaintance stunt
was followed by more chorus singing.
Rotarian Borland then announced a
"b&by contest." He lined up along the
wall the following baby Rotes: Brant Brantley

The "baby contest" was followed by

happens that all of this time a greater

more than any one he was trying to
stick, and all he could do was snap
his fingers in a gesture of'"shucks."
At this point Rotarian John Taylor
stated that he wished to prefer
charges against a member of the
club, who had been guilty of a very
low trick. Rotarian Taylor stated
that a certain Rotarian had taken
some friends out in his automobile,
beyond good walking distance of the
city, and that suddenly his car ceased
to function. The Rotarian in question
got out and made a bluff at investi investigating

at the carburetor did not start the
engine. Some one in the car sug suggested

of the car stated that this was impos impossible,

that this was a very serious thing,
and asked that the club stand behind

the guilty one be fined five dollars.
The club voted the fine, only to find
that this put suspicion on every mem member

still refused to ruin the reputation of
the guilty party by making his name

Will be Given by Col. Dan Morgan t
Smith, Friday, Jan. 23rd
People of Marion county and Ocala
will be given an unusual opportunity -to
hear a first-hand, account of the

Colonel Smith will speak under the
auspices of the Florida Educational
and Temperance League, and his ad address
dress address will be of especial interest to all
men who saw service in the military
forces of the United States, their fam families,
ilies, families, and their friends. As commander
of the First Battalion, 358th Infantry.
9Cth Division, A. E. F., Colonel Smith
saw the greater battles in which the
American forces participated and, in
the battle of St. Mihiel, led his com command
mand command against fearful odds and car
ried the day, though with a tremen
dous loss in killed and wounded.
Colonel Smith is well known in
Florida and particular interest at-
aches to his coming to Ocala as he
is the son of Dr. D. M. Smith of this
city. He will be accorded a recep
tion upon his arrival in the city and
will be entertained by his father while
here.
The Florida Educational and Tem
perance League, under the auspices of
which Colonel Smith is speaking in
this state, has been organized m eve
ry county in Florida and is proving
an immense factor already in the
awakening of the public conscience to
the importance and necessity for law

Rogers; county treasurer, H. D.
Stokes, cashier Ocala National Bank;

Harris, editor of the Banner.
The story of the battle of St. Mi
hiel, one of the major actions of the
war in which the American forces
participated, will be vividly told by
Colonel Smith. He will describe par
ticularly the participation of his
command in this offensive and will
briner. in this way, the war close to his
audience. Colonel Smith will describe
the fearful period of waiting, between
the time the last preparation has
been made for the assault, until the
"zero hour." when the command was
to go over the top. He will tell of the
terrific rain of artillery steel which
fell on the German forces opposing
them, of the lifting barrage exactly
on the "zero" second, how ,the bat
talion swarmed over the top and, at
a pace scarcely more than a lazy
crawl, started walking in the direction
of the Germans, near enough the bar
rage to almost be within danger of
their own artillery.
He will describe his battalion, when
three complete regiments of Ameri American
can American infantry, ordered to assist in this
offensive, failed to show up, cut its
wav through the nick of the whole
German army, the Prussian Guards,
comprising three well equipped and
fully manned regiments, waded thru
nests of machine guns and took the
objective.
When the battalion came out of
this fight it numbered 327 men. Three
days before, when the battle began,
its strength was 1120. Of the twenty-

no radicals. He also made it clear that
the confidence men give Georgia a
wide berth; wonder what he meant?

He probably meant that some Geor
gia customs are more efficacious than
ceremonious.
Bryan's proposition to establish a
national bulletin," shows he is as im
practical as ever. The American peo
ple don't want, don't need and
shouldn't have a national bulletin,
which would only furnish another
nest for grafters. Their present un un-trammeled
trammeled un-trammeled press is the best bulletin
they can have.
The rather crude nature lover ad
vises the pretty girl to take an auto
ride in cool weather, said ride being
a better cosmetic than any she can
buy at the drugstore. But the wise
girl puts on a little more paint before
taking the ride, to keep the uncere unceremonious
monious unceremonious weather from roughening
her peachblow cheeks and chapping
her ripe strawberry lips. At least,
so one told us.
"Connected with the Canaries" is
the headline the Ocala Evening Star
puts over the Mexican earthquake.
They must have quite large canaries
down that way. Jacksonville Metrop Metropolis.

biggest one has an area of 650 square
miles and 70,000 people live on it.
The Palatka Post says: "The fore
part of Swearingen's name doesn't al altogether
together altogether suit us." That's nothing; the
whole part of his platform doesn't
suit us. Tampa Tribune.
Swearingen's name looks good to
us and when we see it on the nice,
ciean paper of a primary ballot we are
not going to put any dirty pencil
marks anywhere near it.
Some noted person, who evidently
has a great lack of anything useful
to do, has propounded the question,
"Can you talk with the dead?" Since
a lot of other folks are wasting their
time trying to answer the entirely
useless query, we rise to remark that
we can talk with the dead if we want
to, wThich we don't, but the minute the
dead begins to talk with us we are
going to be somewhere else in a brace
of shakes.
Says the Madison Enterprise Enterprise-Recorder:
Recorder: Enterprise-Recorder: "The Ocala Star and the
Jacksonville Times-Union both con condemn
demn condemn the action of the government in
forcing the packers out of the grocery
business. We question" the wisdom of
it ourselves. If the packers could
handle the other lines of business
more efficiently than those who were
in it, it seems to us that it would be
common sense to let them do it; if they
couldn't handle it as efficiently, lack
of trade would force them out of it."
Mr. Wilson spoke truly when, he
said: "The United States enjoyed the
spiritual leadership of the world until
the Senate of the United States failed
to ratify the treaty by which the bel belligerent
ligerent belligerent nations sought to effect the
settlements for which they had fought
throughout the war." The democrats
who abandoned the president on this
great issue should hang their heads in
shame.
RELIEF TO THE FRIEND
OF A GREAT ROMAN
Editor Star: It is a great relief to
me to know that the C. that follows
Van, stands for Cicero. I was afraid
it might be Caesar, which would have
been a misnomer. It might have been
fcr Cassius, but that would have been
also a misfit, for Van has not a lean
and hungry look. Casca or Cinna
would have done, but let it stand for
Cicero the vacillating statesman
whom neither the conspirators nor the
triumvirs would trust.

MR. WILSON'S MESSAGE
To Representative Democrats at the j
Jackson Day Dinner j
The full text of President Wilson's ;
message to the democratic leaders at I
the Jackson day dinner is as follows:
"It it with keenest regret that I
find that I am to be deprived of the j
pleasure and privilege of joining you j
and the other loyal democrats who are
to assemble tonight to celebrate Jack- j
son day, and renew their vows of fi fidelity
delity fidelity to the great principles of our
party, the principles which must now
fulfill the hones not only of our own
people but of the world.
"The United States enjoyed the
spiritual leadership of the world until
the Senate of the United States failed
to ratify the treaty by which the bel belligerent
ligerent belligerent nations sought to effect the
settlements for wrhich they had
fought throughout the war. It is in inconceivable
conceivable inconceivable that at this supreme
crisis, and final turning point in the
international relations of the whole
world, when the results of the great
war are by no means determined and
are still questionable and -dependent
upon events which no man can fore foresee
see foresee or count upon, the United States
should withdraw from the concert of
progressive and enlightened nations
by which Germany was defeated and
all similar governments (if the world
be so unhappy as to contain any) giv given
en given word of the certain consequences
of any attempt of a like iniquity; and
yet that is the effect of the course the
Senate has taken with regard to the
treaty of Versailles. Germany is
beaten, but we are still at war with
her, and the old stage is reset for a
repetition of the old plot. It is now
ready for the resumption of the old
offensive and defensive alliances which
made settled peace impossible. It is
now open again to every sort of in
trigue. The old spies are free to re

Without the covenant of the league
of nations, there may be as many sec secret

confidence of governments in each

questioned. None of the objects we
professed to be fighting for has been

ment. government. It went into the war to see
it through to the end and the end has
not come. It went into the war to
make an end of militarism, to furnish
guarantees to weak nations, and to
make a just and lasting peace. It en entered
tered entered it with noble enthusiasm. Five
of the leading belligerents have ac accepted
cepted accepted the treaty and formal ratifica ratifications
tions ratifications will soon be exchanged. The
question is, whether this country will
enter and enter whole-heartedly. If it
does not do so the United States and
Germany will play a lone hand in the
world. The maintenance of the peace
of the world and the effective execu execution
tion execution of the treaty depend upon the
whole-hearted participation of the
United States. I am not stating it as
a matter of power. The point is that
the United States is the only nation
which has sufficient moral force with
the rest of the world to guarantee the
substitution of the discussion for war.
If we keep out of this agreement, if
we do not give our guarantees, than
another attempt will be made to crush
the new nations of Europe.
"I do not believe this is what the
people of this country wish or will be
satisfied with. Personally I do not
accept the action of the Senate of the
United States as the decision of the
nation. I have asserted from the
first that the overwhelming majority
of the people of this country desire
the ratification of the treaty, and my
impression to that effect has recently
been confirmed by the unmistakable
evidences of public opinion given dur during
ing during my visit to seventeen of the
states. I have endeavored to make it
plain that if the Senate wishes to say
what the undoubted meaning of the
league is, I shall have no objection.
There can be no reasonable objection
to interpretations accompanying the
act of ratification itself. But when
the treaty is acted upon, I must know
whether it means that we have ratified
or rejected it. We cannot re-write this
treaty. We must take it without
changes which alters its meaning or
leave it and then, after the rest of the
world has signed it, we must face the
unthinkable task of seeking another
and separate kind of treaty with Ger
many. .But no mere assertions witn
regard to the wish and opinion of the
country are credited. If there is any
doubt as to what the people of the
country think of this vital matter, the
clear and single way out is to submit
it for determination at the next elec election
tion election to the voters of the nation, to
give the next election the form of a
great and solemn referendum, a refer
endum as to the part the United
Stats is to play in completing the
settlements of the war and in the
prevention in the future of such out outrages

there is another spiritual leadership

of age, I suffered greatly Sometimes
would go a month or two, and 1 had
terrible headache, backache, and bearing bearing-down
down bearing-down pains, and ould just drag and
had no appetite. Ihen ... it would last
. two weeks, and was so weakening,
and my health was awful.
My mother bought me a bottle of
Cardui, and 1 began to improve after
taking the first bottle, so kept it up till I
took three ... I gained, and was well
and strong, and I owe it all to Cardui.
I am married now and have 3 children
. Have never had to have a doctor for
female trouble, and just resort to Cardui
if I need a tonic. 1 am glad to testify to
what it has done for me, so as to help
others."
If you are nervous or weak, have head headaches,
aches, headaches, backaches, or any of the other
ailments so common to women, why not
give Cardui a trial? Recommended by

Why Seal Hunters Wear Black.
No mammal that Is known has eye eyesight
sight eyesight which at all compares with that
of a man. A wolf can see you under
favorable conditions a little more than
half a mile away ; a caribou at a little
more than a quarter of a mile, and a
seal commonly at about 300 yards. If
you are standing up, or 150. to 200
yards If you are lying down. You can
walk unconcernedly toward a seal un
til less than 400 yards away, after
which you begin a careful approach.
You crawl ahead on all fours while he
sleeps and you lie fiat and motionless
while he is awake. It might seem
that something could be gained by
wearing white clothing, to match the
snow, but this Is the reverse of wis
dom, for the seal's one enemy that he
fears Is a polar bear, and the polar
bear Is white. If a seal sees anything
that Is suspicious and white he takes
discretion to be the better part of
valor and dives promptly into his hole.
If the suspicious object Is black he as assumes
sumes assumes that it Is probably another seal
that has come out of another hole to
bask in the sun. It Is therefore the
task of the hunter to simulate a seal.

!
Government's Stickers for One Year's
Use Would Make Strip 763.220
Miles Long.
Until within very recent years all
of our postage stamps were printed
for the government by a private eon
cern under contract by the year. Now Nowadays
adays Nowadays they are turned out at the big
factory In Washington that makes
Uncle Sam's paper money.
The work is better done and at a
great saving. There is a saving in ink
(which is made on the premises) ;
there is saving in gum (likewise of
home manufacture), and there is sav saving
ing saving of the profit that formerly went
to the contractor.
It is a huge job. During the last
year the bureau of engraving printed
50,000,000.000 postage stamps. That
(approximately) ws the number re required
quired required by the 110,000.000 people of th
United States for mailing letters and
parcels an average of 454 stamps for
every man, woman and child.
If all these 50,000,000,f00 stamps
were placed end to end in one stri;, i
how far would the latter extend? A
small calculation will show.
If you started at one end of the strip
in a railroad train and traveled contin
uously day and night at a speed of
sixty miles an hour, It would take you
nearly a year and a half to reach the
other end. You would get there in 12. 12.-7U0
7U0 12.-7U0 hours, or 530 days.
This strip would be 7G3.220 miles
long. In other words, it would extend
from the earth to the moon, back to
the earth, then back to the moon again,
with enough of its length left to en encircle
circle encircle the globe nearly twice at the
equator.
Spread out In a single sheet, the
50.O"H.XX.000 stamps (representing
our annual requirement for mailing
purpose) would cover 2,375 acres, or
fourteen and two-thirds square miles.
To make that number of postage
stamps requires 1.750 tons of ink and
2.125 tons of gum.
