A letter from the Photoplay Maya
zine informs the Star that an Ocala
girl, Miss Grace Shurtleff, has enter
ed the Beauty and Brains" contest
conducted by the Photoplay Magazine
in conjunction with the World Film
Corporation. The proposition is to
send eleven young women to the
studios at Fort Lee, N. j., across the
river from New York city, where they
will be given a thorough tryout as
film actresses. All of their expenses
will be paid on this trip and if they
show any talent they will be given
contracts for a period of not less than
one year at regular salaries paid to
stars. Everybody in our city hopes
that the efforts of Miss Shurtleff will
be crowned with success.

Her spirit migrated once more,

year of her gentle life.
She was married July Z, 1878

Some Sausage!

Last week we bought a hunk
of country sausage which the
grocer told us was made by Mr..
So and So and seasoned to a
queens taste" We know Mr..
So and So and we thought we
were going to enjoy his sausage
but we were sadly mistaken.
That sausage was ground up in
a corn shredder and never saw
sage or pepper unless it was
through a spy glass.
Mr.. Farmer, why don't you
see that everything you bring to
market is so we'll prepared that
people will come back to the
stores and ask for butter, sau-
sage, lard, hams, honey, etc.,
from your farm?
One mistake you make is in
trimming your meat. Nine-tenths
of the hams brought in from the
country not only have too much
fat left on them but the big end
is cut with a point on it like a
cotton scraper, and judging by
the length of the shank, the hog
that formerly wore it could have
stood fiat footed and eaten acorns
off the tree while scratching his
chine on the second limb.
That's why some farmers new
er have any trouble disposing of
their produce and others can't
give it away.

Anger and business mix as
readily as oil and water and with
the same disastrous result as
whisky and business. The mo-
ment you lose your temper in a
business transaction the other
fellow has you at q distinct dis
advantage. In the heat of pas
sion sou make statements and
charges which are undignified,
unworthy of you as a grown per-
son, and which you would find it
difficult to sustain. Unless you
foolishly nurse your illfeeling
you are certain to experience a
sense of shame sooner or later
and concede that perhaps there
is some merit in the other fell
lows position. If you will then
be courageous enough to put
away false pride and go over the
matter in a calm, businesslike
way you will no doubt find that
you are met more than half way.
Temper is a luxury that gets its
owner into trouble sooner or later

TRIBUTE TO ROBT. E. LEE.
By Benjamin H. Hill, of Georgia.

He was a foe without hate; a
friend without treachery, a SOL
dier without cruelty; a victor
without oppression, and a victim
without murmuring. He was a
public officer without vices; a
private citizen without wrong;
a neighbor without reproach; a
Christian without hypocricy, and
a man without guile. He was
Caesar without his ambition;
Frederick without his tyranny;
Napoleon without his selfishness,
and Washington without his re-
ward. He was ohedient to au-
thority as servant, and royal in
authority as a king. He was as
guiltless as a woman in life, and
modest as a virgin in thought;
watchful as a Roman vestal in
duty; submissive to law as So
crates, and grand in battle as
Achilles.

pleasure the connection of Mr.
H. L. Bruce as managing editor
and advertising contractor. While
an amateur in newspaper work
Mr.. Bruce has attracted favora-

his literary work, his Rye
Family article which appeared

reproduced in this paper and also
as the leading feature in the

We regard his connection with
our advertising department as a
distinct acquisition and commend
his advice to advertisers as wor-
thy of consideration.

School Books VS. Shoe Polish
erin News,

A copy of the American Book
Company's 1915 school calendar
has just been received at this Of
flee.
If figures compiled on the
back of this calender may be
taken as conclusive, the price of
school books has but little infiu-
ence on the high cost of living.
It is found that the people of
the United States spend more
for the shoe polish than for
school books; twice as much for
buttons and for artificial flowers;
about two and one half times as
much for ribbons, three times as
much for soft drinks, seven times
as much for jewelry, eleven
times as much for patent medi-
cines, sixteen times as much for
tobacco, and forty-nine times as
much for liquors as for school
books.

Ernest R. Parham, a promi-

phis, has been favorably spoken
of in connection with the office of
revenue agent of WestTennessee.
Mr.. Parham is not only live fisl
in the bushes swim of the Bluff
City but he is a genial gentleman
with a host of loyal friends who
would rejoice to see him thus
honored. Parham began life as
a newsboy selling papers on
the streets of Memphis, and it
is said that he developed such
craftsmanship even at this early
age that he could go up in

paper when other ''newsies"

The Partisan regrets to an
nounce the resignation of John
Mac Mclean, who has ably edited
this page for some time. From
head to heels Mac is a thorough
bred in the newspaper world,
capable of the most biting sar-

native of the Blue Grass state,
he Loyalty cherishes her tradi-
tions, but as an adopted son of
Tennessee, and a time tried and
fire tested democrat. he has won
a place in the hearts of our peo-
pie from which nothing can dis
lodge him. He is a jewel in the
profession and The Partisan bids
him godspeed on his way to the
topmost rung of the journalistic
ladder.

Printed Stationery for Farmers.

Every farmer who owns his
farm ought to have printed sta
tionery, with his name, the name
of his postofice properly given,
The printed heading might give
the names of whatever crops he
specializes in, or his specialties
in stock. Neatly printed station
airy gives you a personality and a
standing with any person or firm
whom you write and insures the
proper reading of your name and
address.
If you wish to write to your
congressman or member of the
legislature, or if you have a re-
quest to make of your county su-
perintendent of schools, or if
you wish information from any
business house, in any case your
letter will have increased weight
and receive more and quicker at
tention if you use printed sta
tionery.
Get the habit. Come into the
Partisan Office and have us print
you 500 sheets of good paper
with envelopes to match. II
will be one of the best invest.
ments you ever made.
