HChiQQerS,"

Visitors who went to Fit Harrison to
say farewell to the boys who have
gone to the Mexican border are now
recovering from the "chigger" bites
they received on that occasion. "Chig-
gers" are not abundant in Marion
county, but those that lay in ambush
in the grass at TT. Harrison fully
made up in pernicious activity what
ever was lacking in mere numbers.
Many persons had there first intro
duction to the chigoe, which is of the
order diptera, family pulicidae, spe-
cies sarcopsylla penetrans. 1t is some
times, in addition to It's Hoosier name
of chigger, called the jigger and the
sand flea. Only the female attacks
man. When she gets ready to lay her
eggs she bores deeply into the skin,
usually of the feet and ankles. This
insect Is found at its best in the West
Indies, but is nearly as active In the
Southern states. There is no complaint
of any innocuous desuetude of this In
sect In Indiana. The chigger deposits
In the perforation she has made in the
flesh bladder or sack containing
about go eggs. The old-fashioned
Hoosier way of Kidding oneself of CHG
gers and chiggerettes was to rub the
red spots denoting their location with
a well-salted bacon rind. And there
are also chiggers In Texas.-Indian-

TemptatIons Of the ronnue.

A preacher at East Mortified spoke
on the Temptations Of the Tongue. 1t
is good topic and should be frequent
ly utilized. A thoughtless or reckless
tongue can do more harm than a whole
church can do good. The preachers
sermon was based upon the third chap
ter of James. Read 1t. You need 1t.
We all need Ii. No man can be a
Christian unless he puts Its meaning
into his life. Every pulpit should read
the chapter often. 1t is one of the
finest in the Bible. There is no bet
ter literature anywhere. It could be
studied as an example of style. The
world needs that kind of gospel. This
country needs 1t. The city needs it.
There Is too much thoughtless talk 60
ing on. Too many people think what
they think is absolutely true, and SO
they deride others who do not think
as they do. This is unjust and wicked,
and it is the part of true religion
and a clean civics to look at 1t that
way.-Ohio State Journal.

PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED
Many Puzzles That Have 5affied the
CIeVerest for Centuries Offer
Chances to Brainy People.

For the man TO whom the mysterious
appeals there is no lack of problems
which have baffled the cleverest brains
for generations, and in many cases for
long centuries. and still remain as far
from solution as ever.
If he is mathematically inclined he
can win immortal fame by solving the
problem of how TO square the circle"
The cleyerest brains of all ages and
countries have wrestled in vain to dis
cover exactly the relation between the
circumference and the diameter Of
circle.
One Dutch professor gave nearly 90
years of his life TO the task; he worked
out the equation to over 700 places of
decimals, and was then little nearer
the end of his calculations than when
he began.
No less elusive is the square root of
two. Thousands of years In the ag-
gregate have been spent in endeavor-
ing TO make this calculation; 1T has
been worked out to Ill places of deci-
mails by one enthusiast, but the exact
square root remains. and probably al
ways will remain, unbound.
Ever since the days of the Pharaohs
scientists have been searching for the
secret of changing base metals into
gold; but the philosophers stone" has
| always proved a will o. the wisp in Its
/ tantalizing elusiveness; and although
Edison declares the day of its discov-
cry is drawing near, 1t still seems as
remote as ever.
Countless men, too. have been driven
/ to despair and almost to insanity In
their efforts to discover perpetual mo-
| ton; and the man who finds its secret
will certainly win fame greater than
that of Newton himself.
No scientist has yet satisfactorily
explained what is the relation be-
tween sun spots and the mariners
compass-why the prevalence of spots
on the sun makes the compass cratic
and unreliable; and none can prove
! whether Mars is inhabited or not; or
j tell exactly what a comet is, or what
effect, IL any, the moon has on the
weather. These are all problems, the
solution of which would make your
name famous throughout the world.
If you would try something possibly
simpler, the world would much like to
know the secret of the rocking stones
) those huge masses of rock some
nearly 100 tons in weight-which are
so delicately poised that the pressure
: of finger will set them moving. How
and when did they get there, and with
i what object?
What, too, were the origin and pur
pose of the monoliths at Stonehenge
ON Salisbury plain; and by what means
in those prehistoric days were the
enormous cross slabs raised into posi-
ton?

The G. A. Carmichael was compar-
atively new boat, She was built
about three years ago in a Marion
county shipyard, and she cost Ed.
Carmichael about $4,000. Ed ran her
for the good of his home town for
awhile, then practically made a pres
ent of her to corporation. She made
regular trips, coming up the river
from Jacksonville loaded down with
freight. But there was bad manage
ment somewhere-she was tied up.
and now she is taken away from the
little city that needs her to become
the property of the richest corpora
ton on the face Of the earth.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-11-22

Cooperation can do great things,
but until men are better and wiser, it
will never be such power for pro-
gress as selfshness. A shrewd bust
ness man without a grain of public
spirit in his makeup, would have
taken the Carmichael and made money
out of her, whereas good-natured old
Ed, who generally gives away with
one hand what he makes with the
other, and the public-spirited business
men who succeeded him, made a bob
BILE out of the enterprise.

All He Wanted.

Pride In the national dress Of his
country and love of his profession
were blended in somewhat incon-
gruous fashion in the answer of a
Scotch farm laborer who called at a
Glasgow recruiting depot recently.
''Now," said the sergeant, after the
necessary preliminaries had been gone
through, what regiment would you
like TO join?'' Never mind that" was
the hearty response "Jist gle me a
kilt an a horse an let me ava to the

AS aforesaid, there is chance that
if we get busy right away, we can
have the Oklawaha improved and the
canal to Ocala dug. If we don't we
may have to wait perhaps until some
of us who will pick turkey wishbones
this Thanksgiving are where we won't
worry our creditors any longer.

If we can have the canal dug and
the river improved, very likely two or
three or more entirely selfish men will
grasp the golden opportunity to set
boats to chasing each other up and
down the stream. We see no other
chance for relief from high freight
rates. The business men of 0cala
could do a whole lot of things if they
would. Experience of the past few
years shows positively that they
won't

There is whole lot of satisfaction

The fair has never been a money
making proposition. There has been
a deficit almost every year, which the
fair association has made shift to
meet, because the men composing the
association have too much pride in
their county to let it have such a bad
advertisement as the fair failing.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-11-22

We have acquired the habit of go
ing to the fairs-have been to them all
and it's our unbiased opinion that
anybody who attends one can obtain
more for the admission fee than any
other way of spending the money, I'M
less he buys sawdust with it--and
who wants to buy sawdust, anyhow?

For four long years we have known
the stress of hard times. The political
