GAS IS GOOD
1T Is GOING TO BE BETTER IN
THE NEAR IAINEDIATENEss

The Star paid visit Monday after
noon to the plant of the Ocala Gas
Co, and found Manager Hunter and
Foreman Wilkes resting a few min
ntes from hard days work.
A few months ago this plant was
burned. 1t was burned so complete
ly that only the retorts. tank and a
few twisted pipes and charred tim
bers marked where it stood.
The confagration was great in
convenience to the town 1t was two

Star. which heats the metal for its
linotype witch gas.
One member OF the Star STAFF, who
sleeps In the building. lights the gas
under the metal pot at O'Clock every
morning Then he goes back to bed
for his beauty sleep. He has been
lighting the said gas for seven years,
and has the performance down so
fine that he can go thru it without
waking up.
| One morning last summer, he
arose and, sound asleep, trotted into
the composing room, turned on the
gas-he thought-struck match
and held 1t under the pot and listened
for the soft explosion that would an
nounce the gas had lit. Nary expIo-
sion. Then he woke up, tried to
light it again, failed again. and OBJ
served that the governor was
dead Stuck his nose to the vent
to see if he could smell gas. Nary
smell. Scooted downstairs to see if
some darnfool had turned of the gas
at the meter. No sign of any darn
fool. Went to the phones. Four

'Yessum.'

He has always wondered if Central
heard the remark he couldn't help
making.
The rest of the town was almost as
badly upset as the Star, and didn't
expect to have any gas for a month.
But the gas men got themselves to-
gether and were supplying the fluid
in less than seventyLtWo hours.
The gas company doesn't intend to
be burned up or burned down any
more. All summer it has been doing
business with no roof but the sky,
except one little tin parasol, where
Mr.. Wilkes and his helpers retreat
when it rains torrents.
The concrete foundations are now
laid and everything is on the ground
for a commodious metal building. It
will cover everything that needs to
he covered, and there will be nothing
in it to burn. It will be up in a few
days
The pride of the plant is two big
purifying tanks. They have just been
put in and are working perfectly.
Their capacity will be 100000 feet a
day.
The Star was shown sheets of card
board. that showed the effect of be-
fore and after taking of these tanks
on the gas. Before, the cardboard
was considerably stained. After, it
was absolutely clean
/ All the improvements are made
with view to still further improve
ment as business increases. The plant
cant be destroyed any more, and it
can be enlarged and improved with
rapidity and reasonable expense. The
time is not far distant when there
will be big brick building; mean
time the iron will be mighty ef1ca-
cious.

The Days
War News

The battle in Flanders was
continued yesterday with the
ferocIty which has consistently
marked this crucial struggle since
It began more than a month ago.
From French sources came re
ports of minor advantages in the
fighting. but the great issue
there, as on the eastern frontier
of Germany, still hung in the bal
ance.
Berlin made the statement that
three British warships, part of the
fleet which had been assisting the
allies to stem the German onrush
toward the English channel, had
been disabled.
OF greater importance to Great
Britain than any of the days. pass
ing events was the question of the
attitude in the world var to be
taken by the millions of Moslems
in its colonial possessions. Re
ports emanating from Germany
were that the Moslems in some
instances, at least, were siding
with the sultan of Turkey, to
whom they owe spiritual allie
glance, as against Great Britain.
The German attack on the ex-
treme west Is shifting slowly
southwark in Belgium, toward the
French border The country to
the west of Dlxmude has been
transformed, by the tapping of
canals and the heavy rains, into a
vast swamp in which heavy fight
ing is almost impossible. South
of Dixmude, the French war office
said today, renewed German eff
forts to cross the User canal we're
beaten back, with the destruction
of a German regiment. The French
claim the recapture of positions
taken recently by the enemy. Else
where along the lines the fighting
has once more relaxed, being lin
tied chiefly to artillery engage
ments.
In London it is rumored that a
large force of Germans around
Dixmude has been cut off by the

within three miles of Bixschoote,
