Black Wolf sat down on the ground

crane looking down his throat, saw
the bone and, putting her long bill in
his mouth easily reached down and,

The United States has demanded
that France release six Germans who
were taken from American ships by
French cruisers. The United States
can do no less, and if France does not
accede to the very reasonable request,
diplomatic relations should be sus-
pended. The Star favors the Allies
in this war, but it resents the semi
blockade of our coasts being kept up
by British and French cruisers, and
if one of these vessels should some
time tackle an American warship by
mistake and receive a severe lesson.
we would not feel regretful over the
occurrence. Congress should extend
the marine limit to twenty-five miles
off our coasts and instruct the Amer
lean navy to see to it that ships with
in that distance pass without inter-
ference.

SOME NATURAL HISTORY

Seeing the notice in the Star Of the
fat eggs on exhibition at the Marion
County Fair, northern lady wrote to
Mr.. H. A. Kramer for an explanation
of this freak of nature. Mr.. Kramer
replied as follows:
Dear Madam: Yours of the 9Th ult
to hand. In answer to your request
for an explanation of the phenomenon
of fiat eggs, for your information /
beg to advise that the fiat eggs, laid
by side-hill hen, is not an unusual
occurrence"
The side-hill chicken is built diff
ferent from the Yankee variety in
Maine, their outside or down-hill leg
is 31z inches longer than the inside
leg which enables them to walk
around a mountain "on the level" and
they lay "fat eggs to prevent them
from rolling down the hill on the next
farm"
A number of sporty crackers i'm
ported a few of the hens from the
Ozarks and they use the side-hill hen
eggs in the rural districts for poker
chips because they "stack up" nicer
than the eggs laid by the ordinary
Florida barnyard variety.
I. Cantell A. Biglie, farmer living
near Burbank told me he had three
side-hill hens and that they persisted
in laying on the henhouse roof and
that he has worn out three pairs of
overalls at the knees in the last three
months shining up the roof when he
gathers the eggs. He wants to sell
his.
If you are really interested land
are not asking these questions to sat
isfy your curiosity and want to pro-
pagate the fiat egg, get few Yankee
hens, go to the nearest dry goods
store and buy for each hen a Warmers
"glove fitting corset" Don't take them
off at night, make them wear them or
the roost as we'll as in the day time
The result will be pleasing, if not
a phenomenon.
When shall we expect you? The
crackers are laying for your money
So are the hens.

GROWING IN GRACE

Mr.. Fl. L. Anderson, formerly of
Ocala, now of Jacksonville, has been
growing in grace ever since he quit
the republican party, and is now al
most a democrat. We subtract the
following concerning his views from
the Lakeland Telegram:
"Colonel I'll. Z. Anderson of Jack
sonville, not only chief spokesman for
the Bull Moose party in Florida, but
believed to be the sum total Of the
party itself, rank and file, field and
staff, has an interview in the Times
Union of yesterday which is interest
ing as indicating the present political
attitude of his party. He says the
Bull Moosers are alive and doing and
will give good account of themselves
next year. They will hold their ma
tional convention and nominate a
straight progressive ticket and will
make vigorous campaign in every
state in the Union. But the signifi-
cant part of the interview is that Col
onel Anderson, while not expecting
his party to elect it's ticket, does ex-
pect that it will contribute materially
to the reelection of Woodrow Wilson,
whom the colonel intimates will be
altogether preferable to any man the
may nominate. Bully for
YOU colonel, and if you voice the SEN
timents of your leader, Theodore
bully for him ALSO"
