YOUR MIND ON YOUR WORK
aan Who Makes Good Is One Who
Can Shut Out of Mind All but
a One Thing.

The man who makes good Is the
man who can shut out OF his mind all
but one thing. An unsuccessful prin-
cipal of a school once said that every
teacher ought to be able to do three
things at once. OF course. he was
wrong. The teacher who does one
thing az time and does 1t well Is
giving the pupil the best possible OBJ

DISPENSING WITH THE DRUM
Disearding It as Part Of Military
Equipment.

1t was some time ago that, acting
upon the recommendations embodied
in a report by a military commission,
the French government reached the
conclusion that the drum was no long
er necessary article of military
equipment.
The report set forth that the drum
was a serious encumbrance in march
ing; that rain impaired its usefulness;
that its calls could not be distinguished
in time of battle; that it consumed a
period of two years to turn out an effi-
cient drummer; and that by abandon
ing the use of the drum many thou
sands of youths and men would be re-
leased for active service.
Since the decision of the French
government other European powers
have followed its example in decreeing
that the drum must CO."
The history of the drum is both
ancient and honorable. The Egyptians

ROMAN GRAVES ARE FOUND
Fine Examples of Ancient Pottery
Excavated In England on Syn
dale Estate.

London.-An interesting discovery
has been made this week on the Syn
dale estate, at Faversham. where, in
the course Of some excavations, two
Roman graves have been found, con-
tanning some very fine examples of
Roman pottery. The articles include
two jars, intact, one of them of very
graceful design; several pieces OF
pseudo Samian ware 1.-TWO are three
of these also being intact, and some
fragments Of tear glass, a glass vase
and a bronze ornament. A Roman
camp was located near where the dis
covery was made, and it Is probable
that the graves were those of Roman
soldiers. The Syndale estate belongs
to the family of G. c. H. Wheeler,
n. P. for Northeast Kent.

AN EXPLANATION

A number of people blame Secre-
tary Rooney of the Marion County
Board of Trade for calling the polit-
ical meeting Thursday night.
Mr.. Rooney didn't call the meeting
any more than one Of score of other
citizens. The call was sent to the
Star office Thursday afternoon, nam
ing the Board of Trade rooms as the
meeting place, and the person who
received it mistaking it for a special
meeting Of the Board OF Trade tack
ed Mr.. RoOney's name and title on TO
it without his knowledge.
This has been explained TO num-
Der OF individuals. and We think it
best to also make this public explain
alton.
Mr.. Rooney is a citizen OF Ocala
and has as much right to take part
in public affairs as anyone. but he
does not mix Board Of Trade bust
ness with politics.

Ella KHAN LETTER TO
FRIENDS OF THE BIRDS

To the members OF the Florida
Audubon Society and all bird lovers:
The cause OF bird protection in
Florida has made more progress dur
ing the rast year perhaps. than in
any dozen or score of previous years.
The legislature enacted law pro-
tecting robins.
It created a fish and game COM
mission and provided for the ap-
pointment OF a state commissioner
and county wardens.
It provided for a shorter shooting
season for game birds, and prohibit
ed the use OF all traps and snares.
made hunting at night illegal, and
fixed a careful system OF gun IL
censes.
Two long steps forward were TAX
en- also by the federal government.
The first was the law passed by Con-
gress protecting all migratory and
insectivorious birds; and the second
was the law prohibiting the importa-
ton Of bird skins and feathers
AS bird lovers we are entitled to
congratulate ourselves, the country
and our feathered friends on these
fine achievements.
1t is now our business 10 see that
these good laws are enforced.
The first essential to their enforce
ment is a general and intelligent
/ conviction on the part of the public
that they ought TO be enforced. and
demand that they shall be en-
( forced.

AN ARCH OF WELCOME
FOR EVERY ENTRANCE

The arches of welcome to the fair
nolia streets have given the Star an
idea that it thinks it would pay our
county commissioners to carry out.
It is for the county to erect an
arch over each one Of the main
highways leading into the county at
the county line. Let each arch be
lettered on the outside: ''Welcome
to Marion, the Best County in the
State" or some other appropriate in
scription to let the traveller know he
has entered our shire.
1t is very likely that by marking
the supports of the arches into
panels and selling the space TO ad-
Vertisers, the expense of raising and
keeping them up could be covered.
but they would be more effectual
and more ornamental if all adyer-
Using was omitted.
It would also be appropriate to
see the Marion county road at the
arch was put and kept in the best of
condition.
One Of these arches on the Gaines
Vile road, and one each on those to
Morrison, Inverness. Oxford, Lees
burg and PaIatka would not cost
much. and they would be a great
and unique advertisement for our
county.
