McDowell and his family li Kingstree and community: One of the loveliest of the mani ' lovely social functions fdr whicl , Eustis is noted, was the reception 01 I last Thursday evening from eight U ten-thirty, at which the members o: , the Baptist church were hosts ant the new pastor, Dr. E. A. McDowell and family were the honorees. Th< auditorium of the church, which wa; ; formerly the old school building, hat been transformed into a most beau tiful and inviting place, having mort ; the resemblance to a large -livinj room in a private home than a chdrch and as the guests entered voice.' could be heard on every side saying I "Is this the old school building? Ij this the Baptist church auditorium?' But for this occasion it had beer transformed into a beautiful recep tion room, garlanded with moss ant the brilliant bignonia vine, with her< and there potted plants and ferns I In one end of the room tables wer< arranged for serving punch. Thi guests, who included a large percent ' age of the citizens of Eustis, wen I met at the door and introduced t< ; the honorees by Messrs. George Dykes T. E. Webb, W. B. Burgess, E. T Mackey and Dr. C. B. Brewster, whih Mesdames Dykes, T. E. Cochran, D ' M. Hopson and Burgess assisted gen ' erally in dispensing good cheer an< hospitality, which was the keynote oi ' the evening. The punch tables wen presided over by Mesdames D. L. Sel 1 lers, W. B. Merck and C. B. Brewster assisted by a bevy of pretty girls ' who saw that each and every oni 1 present had a bite to eat and a drinl of Florida's favorite beverage, Orangi 1 punch. Aside from the pleasure of meet ing Dr. McDowell and family, thi guests enjoyed a delightful musica | program, which was in charge o: * Mil n rv : 4.1.- ^ .

Story, saxophone ' and Mrs. Davidson, piano, gave th< first numbers on the program am were heartily encored by the guests who showed their appreciation of th< very excellent music. "Kentucky Babe" and "Sleep Ms Honey," two catchy little songs thai never grow old, were artistically ren dered by Mrs. Davidson, a prano Mrs. W. A. Goin, alto, Mr. L. C. Fer ran, tenor, and Mr. C. W. Williams bass, with Mrs, Henry Self, accom panist. Prof. Donald Faulkoner, o: Plant City, who is a recent acquis! tion of the church and educations! circles of Eustis, played with th< hand of a finished musician the beau tiful Traumerie by Schumann. Mrs E. L. Schumacher very graciously read "My Grandmother's Turkey Tai Fan" and "Play Malm Believe." A second number by the quartet wai "Hail Smiling Morn/' py sponorm This was followed by a solo by Mr Williams, who rendered in an ex quisite manner "Schubert's Serenade' and responded to an encore by sing ing "My Ain Folks," by Lemon. Dr McDowell, who has recently accepter tfce pastorate of the local Baptisi church, and as an expression of th< high esteem in which he is held bj his congregation, the reception was planned that the public might hav< the opportunity of meeting him anc his excellent family socially. In c few well chosen and impressive words Dr. McDowell thanked the member5 of his church and the visitors for th? ^vely reception and their cordial greeting and asked for the co-opera- |] tion of the Christian people of the a i community in the Work which he and st r his wife are beginning in our midst, a Dr. S. H. Moore, pastor of the Pres- (X I byterian church, responded to Dr. Mc- ir i Dowell's talk and extended greeting e: , to the new pastor and family, and in . his usual forceful and witty manner ai I welcomed them to Eustis, assuring a : them that this is a good place in el which to live and that they would ai : have Christian sympathy and help, g The program was closed with a se- $1 I lection by the orchestra, who con- is tinued their good music throughout ei s the evening. Every denomination in di the city was represented in the large gathering by the resident pastors, g their wives and the members of their v< respective congregations. All were tl generous in their words of praise for tl . the delightful evening and feel that li t - w _ Eustis is indeed fortunate to have in a ? their midst such earnest Christian S ; workers as Dr. McDowell and his famj ily and the members of his church. ^ 1 _____o . Henry Ford's Bank Account. A recent dispatch of the Interna' tional News Service from Detroit j says: Henry Ford begins the New e. Year with the greatest amount of ' cash in bank that any human being n ever had. A few years ago Russell 11 ' Sage, with ten or fifteen millions in p ready cash, used to have this dis- p tinction. Two days ago the General Motors company announced that it a had in bank $41,OOO,OO0T\ Henry Ford's bank balance today is ? in excess of $121,000,000. He him self does not know within $5,000,000 a f or $10,000,000 of how much actual p cash he has at the moment because ' t he has not taken the trouble to inquire of his son, Edsel, the treasurer 1 since the* foregoing figures were i given to him a few weeks ago. "Our ? i balance today," said Mr. Ford, "is > probably between $135,000,000 and " f $145,000,000." 1 i Henrv Ford is a billionare. In re- r ^ C1 , ply to a question, he told me today i that he had no doubt that his ho' ' p 5 ings, based upon their earnings, could " 1 be capitalized and sold for a billion 1 - dollars. i Mr. Ford gave me this information . I because I asked for it. Neither his p , mind nor his conversation runs to p s money. I am sure money means less > to him than to any other rich man 3 whom I ever knew.

The Washington conference which ras forced by action of France ^o rerain from placing any limination on ie building of submarines has , howver, agreed on accepting as internaional law, provisions forbiding sublarines to attack without due notice lerchant ships on the seas. The pro osal as we understand it makes aplicable to submarine warfare rules hich have long prevailed relative to ttacking merchant ships by naval essels. The action of the conference greed to by the five great powers, Ireat Britian, France, Japan, Italy, nd the United States, outlaws the ractices of Germany in the last war rith submarines in attacking merhant ships. These rules apply to the ve nations who extend an invitation r> the rest of the world to join in the greement As finally adopted Friay the rules declare submarine comlanders who, with or without orders rom the government, violate these ules to be guilty of piracy. These ommanders will be punished with the enalty for piracy which is death, whether they act on their own initiaive or under their governments' orers. Another rule of far reaching imortance and interest and intended to romote the cause of humanity in war as adopted by the five great powers l conference Saturday. It prohibits (le use of gas in future wars. tab-My-Tism. a pain killer. 9ead your Job Printing to ?s our Own ley you invest in a home aint sometimes does. ou own your own ho possessions. ,r is safer than the home 3 best saving plan ever of] more sensible to rent an< clothes. s supply cc EST PLAGE TO BUT' mmmmmmmmm tVill Not Hear: X Lazarus, upon a certtVho Will Heai er a Fire, when a man he difference between i igent in the county writi les oiny.
