Hearst's American Of Sunday con-
tains a very good uggestion-that
is as far as it goes. 1t is to greatly
increase both army and navy, and TO
put the men and ships on public
works: the army to building roads
and digging canals; the navy to car
rying the mails and parcel post pack
ages, etc, etc There are however,
two serious objections to this plan.
One is, that while it is easy to obtain
men to do the work of officers N
planning public works and oversee
Ing the men who build them, it
would not be so easy to obtain men
to do the downright, hard, roust-
about work necessary TO complete
roads, canals and buildings. 1t would
be simply impossible to find them at
the wages paid to common soldiers,
who do not receive the pay of ditch
diggers, let alone those of carpen-
tiers and bricklayers. The objection
To putting the navy to work at car

sRumor has it that T. J. Appleyard,
Jr. of Leon county, is to be a candi-
date for commissioner Of agriculture
a. the coming June primary. Mr..
Appleyard passed some weeks here
last winter. The Star doesn't know
how he would come out in a race
with Mr.. McRae, but he is certainly
a very genial young man with ex-
cellent business qualities.

MIR. VOORHEES, SEEMS
TO BE MIFFED

Editor Star: / saw in last weeks
OF Ocala had given lot of Christ
mas good things to the convicts.
Now the writer believes in giving
Christmas cheer to all who deserve
they are worthy, but does the editor
or these good ladies believe that the
men in these convict camps are en-
titled to these things? These men
have outraged law and justice and
by their action have put themselves
beyond the pale of decent civiliza
ton. The writer considers it
premium on crime and not fair to
the honest, law abiding citizens and
he also believes that so much good
tt eatment of criminals is one reason
Of so much crime in the land, and
these men should not have the treat
ment and favors that law-abiding
citizens have.
No one gave the writer candy for
Christmas, but if he had done some
crime and got in jail, it is likely
some good-intentioned person would
| have given him a whole box of candy
| as reward for his evil doing. He
| believes in Furnishing crime and not
| giving as reward of merit. If these
| men prefer the jail to honest living
| let them have plenty of hardest work
and the last when they need it, and
/ no favors of any sort at any time,
The article further states that
| the mems eyes lit up with gladness
when they got their box. Of course
| they did-whose wouldn't, but if
they want one, let them stay decent
and get one in an honest way, other
wise let them do without it. Let the
| good ladies Of Ocala give their gifts
to the sick and deserving poor, OF
which no doubt, plenty can be found
in Ocala-and let these tramps
yagabonds and hoodlums go.

Springer Trip

The trip to Springer Sun
dayforthe ball Game was fraught
with experiences and hardships
for some of the devotees of the
National Game. Jess Daven-
port and his load in the Ford,
made it without accident either
way and Les Alldredge got back
with but a little help from the
men in his load who pushed and
got the car thru the worst of the
mud holes in the rain streak of
three miles wide on the way.
Mr.. Butler with Fred Browns
old Buick made it with but a cou-
pie of blow-outs and got in at
midnight. Tuck" broke steer
ing knuckle and his load did the
walking stunt to Jaritas Ranch
where they got Ben Floersheim
to take them on in his Case Car.
Joe Adler, Patton, Frank
Schultz and Paul and Lee Ander-
son started in the Goodman car
but burned out some bearings
and had to, stop on the hill this
side of Chico and send into
Springer for repairs. The party
did not get to the ball game but
they did get home Monday even
ing coming in on three legs.
1t is an experience many of
them will not soon forget and
they have had to take lot of
chatting from their friends who
had to remain at home.

pair of twin boys and on the pre-

Allthis good fortune along with
the good crops and other evi-

their neighbors ike Ben Sturgis

Base Ball

The Base Bail Game at Spring
er last Sunday resulted IN a de-
feat for the Roy Boys witha score
of 20 to s. On the foce of it it
looks decidedly bad but when
you look up the cause it is easy
to see that the next game must
be under better conditions.
In the first place, our boys
we're in no condition to play.
The show Friday night and the
dance Saturday night had robbed
them Of the rest and sleep they
needed. Then the series of dis
asters to the autos that conveyed
them, leaving the Pitch
er and Catcher to walk eight
miles through the broiling sun
on the way up, took the snap out
of the Battery and the hardships
endured by the other players on
that memorable trip left the
whole team enneryated and unfit
for the game. The fact that But
ler held out for the first six in
nings and had support to hold
the score to 6x2 in favor of Roy
is proof that under favorable con-
ditions the finish would have been
different.
Al Hanson scored a three base
hit and brought in four of six
scores for Roy but he wasn't out
to the dance and didn't have to
walk miles to get there.
Edgar Floersheim also made a
sensational play in spite of his
long walk.
There will be a return game
here Sunday and it is settled now
that there will be no dance Sat-
nrday night and the ball player
who is ont after 8 o'clock Satur-
day night shall be penalized or
put on the bench. The Roy
Boys can play ball but there is a
limit to human endurance and
they must give themselves a
chance to win especially from
Springer.

Dear friend:-
Just received our
first copy of the Spanish-Ameri-
can since our arrival in Sunny
CAL, but theDsun has been obscur-
ed most of the time by a dense
fog from the Pacific Ocean since
we have been here: otherwise the
climate is fine.
Would advise fasteners not to
forget to bring their wraps when
visiting the Fair next year, as
they feel real comfy mornings
and evenings.
The work is progressing nicely
at the Exposition Grounds, and
most all the large and magnifi-
cent exhibit palaces are ready for
the installation of their exhibits,
which work has partly started.
The States Foreign Buildings
are most all under constr uction
and some are about completed.
This Fair will be completed
and ready for the public inspec-
tion on the prescribed date, Feb.
20, 1915, The visitors will find
this the best arranged Fair, as
the large exhibit Palaces are
more compact than at any other
Exposition.
The Palaces are joined by col
lonades which form the Courts
filed with beautiful palms and
flowers.
Visitors will have the best of
protection while visiting the Fair,
as the Fair Guards are chosen
from Ex- Soldiers with excellent
characters, and commanded by
the best Army Officers, If we
remain here as we think we will,
until the Fair closes, we hope
to meet hosts of our friends
here duringthat period.
So pleased to hear of the crops
and wheat looking SO fine.
With kindest greetings to all
remain,
Very respectfully,
G. E. Munsey.
Inspector of Guards,
San Francisco Cal.

TAFFETA THE THING FOR
SPRING WEAR

Taffeta will be worn more than any
other material this spring.
In the walking suit Illustrated
black taffeta is used. The narrow
skirt has a wide turned back cuff
about the bottom.
The overskirt is long on one side
and full.
The wrap is like those our grand
mothers wore when they topped the
voluminous hoop of the time of the
Empress Eugenia and it is trimmed
with the same little "quilleys."
One of the innovations of this suit
is that both overskirt and wrap are

money out of my creations" he said.
''All l want is a decent living. The
people ought to share in the benefits
of my plant inventions"
Experts say the eggplant, a vege-
table of the deadly nightshade family,
contains poison and at present Frank
is working to get the poison out. To
do it he is crossing the eggplant with
the sweet yellow tomato and says
that the result is already assured.
The wonder-worker's results in
crossing vegetables are obtained by
scientifically mixing pollens when the
plants are in bloom. He has also in
stalled a number of devices for fore
ing plants to maturity and for test

Aiken Calls for Conference.

Aiken, July PA call was sent
out tonight by the Aiken county del
egates to the South Carolina State
convention for an anti-Blease conven-
ton in Columbia, Friday, July 81, to
concentrate on two or three anti
Blease gubernatorial candidates. The
call says it appears to be the undivid-
ed opinion of those citizens of South
Carolina who would redeem the State
from Bleaseism that the present sit
uation demands the elimination of at
least three or more avowedly anti
Blease candidates in order that the
anti-Blease vote of the State may not
be divided. The call declares that
Bleaseism sis dong more injury to
