the whole crowd into the bar, ordered
cocktails for all of 'em, and, before they

demonstration agent will arrange a
general propaganda exhibit.
The following rules have been
agreed on for the club:
1. To be eligible for membership
in the Bankers Pig Club boy must
be member of the Marion County
Corn Club in good standing.
2. The member must agree to
care for the pig under the direction
of the county agent and if he fails to
do so or neglects the pig so as to inn
pair its value to deliver same over to
county agent upon the return of his
note.
8. The member must care for his
pig in person and must keep a record
OF his work.

MEN TOOK CZERNOWITZ
Czernowitz, capital of the Austrian
crown land of Bukowina, is in the
hands of the Russians, and the Aus
trians who had been possessing it are
in retreat toward the Carpathian
mountains. Hard fighting took place
in the capture of the Czernowitz
oridgehead and in the passage of the
River Pruth, but when finally the
Russians gained the right bank of
the river the Austrians evacuated the
capital, leaving one thousand prison
ers and some guns in the hands of the
Russians.
To the north, in Galicia, and Vol
hynia, the Russians are meeting with
desperate resistance on the part of
Austro-H -Hungarians and Germans,
some of the latter of whom are declar-
ed by Petrograd to have been brought
from the French front in an endeavor
to aid in stemming the Russian adj
vance.

A few minutes after the dispatch

and the Star had passed the word to
those most interested, the news per-

hour the Stars phone was kept busy
answering calls from people who
wanted the news. It's some advantage
to town to have a paper carrying
Associated Press dispatches in it.

ROSTER OF THE
OCA[A RIFLES
Boys in Khaki Called to Join Uncle
Sans Regulars on the
Mexican Border

night, a Western Union messenger
boy came into the Star Office with an
Associated Press telegram, announc-
ing that the National Guard of all
the states had been called out for
duty on the Mexican border.
The Star at once notified all the of
fcers and members of the Ocala
Rifles who could be reached by phone,
and judging by the remarks they
made on receiving the news they
were ready and willing to go.
Captain Edward Drake said this
morning that his company, if called,

that transportation and several other
matters are attended to.
The enlisted strength of the
Rifles is at present SO men, with 65
the number of men required for
mastering into the, federal service.

the event that the company is called,
r. l.. Marsh, second lieutenant, will
remain at headquarters here to re-
cruit up to the full war strength, and
he will join the company at what
ever point it happens to be.
There has been some talk of a
home guard" to take the place of
the Rifles. Any civilian can organize
such body of men, and apply for en-
rollment as state militia.
At 1898 o'clock Captain Fred
Weihe, commanding this post of the
National Guard of Florida, received
telegram from Adjutant General ].
Clifford R. Foster, giving instructions
to hold the Rifles in readiness for call
into federal service and to recruit to
full war strength of 80 men. Captain
Weihe Immediately acknowledged the
message, and told a representative of
the Star that the members of his
company would Immediately be COM
municated with. All equipment will
be held at the armory in order that
the men may be made ready to move
at a moments notice.
The telegram from the adjutant
general reads:
"You will hold your command in
readiness for call into federal service.
Detailed instructions will follow. Con-
suit paragraphs 450 to 463 inclusive
y. S. army regulations, and state
general order No. 43, series 1911.
Recruiting officers designated under
the latter order may at once COM
mence to enroll to war strength, but
no enlistments or re-enlistments will
be made until receipt of new enlist
ment forms, which go forward by
mail. Acknowledge
