Some of the daily press editorial
writer's are expressing great sympathy
for trotting Americans who went
to Europe as first-class passengers and
are compelled to return in the steerage
or second-class. Had they remained at
home to "see America" this discomfort
would have been avoided. Then it must
not be forgotten that when fathers and
mothers of these same aristocrats came
over in sailing vessels it required six or
seven weeks, and they did not complain
of the lack OF luxury.

HAIL. COLORADO!

If you want to be killed in a coal
mine, take the next train for Colo
RADIO. We have it from the state
mining inspector out there that two
miners are killed in that state for
every one killed in all the rest of the
United States. Nothing accidental
about it, either, apparently, for this
gait has been maintained since 1909,
quite long enough to prove that Colo
radios killing methods are entitled to
the blue ribbon for efficiency. Colo
RADIO ought to feel very proud of this,
and it might not be out of place to
suggest that she erect monument
to herself in the Garden of the
Gods, or on top of Pixies peak, or at
some other suitable point.-Life.

The union label as an organizer is
without an equal in the labor move
ment. both from the standpoint of econ

if you desire to see unionism prosper
and succeed, demand the union label and
assist in the march toward better
things. This is not asking much of you,
yet your aid is badly needed in this

FIREsiEN HAD A HARD FIGHT

An alarm shortly after noon sent
the fremen to the north end, where
a boxcar loaded with wood was blaz-
ing on the A. c. L. scales track. The
firemen were clear away from water,
but they put the fire under control
with the chemical. The switch en-
CINE then pulled the car down into
town, while the fremen chopped
their way into the top of the car
and as soon as they came to water
completed their work by turning a
stream into the burning wood. There
were ten cars on the switch, and blu,
for the firemen all would have been
destroyed.

THE ELECTRA PICNIC

The picnic at Electra yesterday
was a great success. While there
was not a very large crowd present,
all were greatly interested in what
each candidate had to say for him
self. As for the dinner, everybody
knows the reputation of Mrs. Fort,
the Mesdames Rogers and other of
the Electra housewives, and the
spread was fit for king. A great
quantity of fried fish and corn bread
was the piece de resistance, sur
rounded with everything good to eat.
Eating such a dinner caused Mr..
Aver to remark that it made him
feel good towards everybody and that
he thought he could vote for any
body except Jim Moorhead.
This is a busy time of year for
the farmers as the shipping season
has opened. Potatoes are being
shipped from the Electra section now
and preparations are being made for
the other vegetables which will be
ready in short time. That section,
like all others, is suffering for rain.
Yesterday at noon there was a little
shower which hardly settled the
dust. Col. r. F. Rogers, who was
chairman for the day, announced to
the candidates that an invitation had
been sent them from Pedro that
there would be barbecue and all
that goes with it for them at Pedro
this evening at O'Clock, and the
speaking would begin at or 1880.
1t is needless to reproduce the
speeches of the candidates, as they
have all been set forth in previous
issues of the Star.

Mrs. Barron, who with her child
rem arrived here destitute last week,
is working hard to make living for
herself and family. She has found
a home in little house in North
Ocala, and is going around doing
homework, mostly laundry, for what
she can obtain. OF her children only
one, boy of fourteen, is big enough
to work, and one of them is entirely
helpless and always will be. Mrs.
Barron prefers staying in Ocala to
going back to Georgia, where wages
are much lower. She says she is
willing to work and has certainly
made her words good in the last few
days. Contrary to the general I'M
preston, the family has received lit
tie help. They have hardly any fur
niture in their little home and but
few clothes, and while they have
been supplied with money and pro-
visions enough for temporary needs,
the supply is nearly out or soon will
be- The Star suggests that all who
are Willing to help Mrs. Barron con-
fer with Mrs. Ben Raysor or Mrs.
Ben Borden, both of whom are we'll
acquainted with her circumstances.
