ocala Philosophy

The Ocala Star last week in
dulged in some sound philosophi
cal musings that should have ths
earnest though of every citizen oi
Florida. Their Importance is such
as to demand attention from the
Legislature. Some of them are as
follows;
Speaking Of the hunting sea-
son, it would be a mighty good
thing for Florida il the legislature
would reduce the number of birds
killed to half dozen a day for
each gunner; or, better still, put
a full stop to shooting all birds ex-
cept birds of prey for at least five
years. The boil weevil and 9TH
.er insect pests that are running
cotton and other crops are here
in direct consequence of the
slaughter. of the birds.
There are getting to be too
many people for the birds. In the
old days, when population was
scanty, and double-barreled
muzzle-loader was the most for
midable fowling piece, the fcath-
cred tribe had a chance. Nova
days, not only the country peo-
pie, who are generally moderate,
kill quail, but everybody in town
who can shoot, and many who
can t, goes out and takes a crack
or rather a series Of cracks, at the
birds. And with a breechloader
or automatic in the hands of even
an ordinary marksman, the game
hasen't much of a chance.
We human beings are very I'M
consistent, We abuse q warlike
nation which strives to shut the
gates of mercy on mankind, and
wade through slaughter to a place
in the sun, but we slaughter birds,
beasts and fish not only for our
necessity, but for our amusement.
And the only right we have to do
this is the right of might.

Men Trained in Horticulture
Scarce


Men who are properly trained
in handling fruits and vegetables
are scarce. They are wanted not
only by public institutions but
by private enterprise. Wells A.
Sherman, of the Office of Markets
and Rural Organizations, said re-
Gently in a lecture at the Univer-
sity of Florida that men with such
training are hard TO find. His of
flee is especially desirous of find
ing men who are capable of doing
work in fruit and vegetable mar
keting and organizations; but, ow-
ing to the fact that private enter
prises can offer more money, very
few of the agricultural college
graduates who are properly train
ed can be obtained for public ser
vice.
1t is probable that the fresh
fruit and vegetable business viii
continue to grow, because the
markets arc demanding more Of

States are studying agriculture,
according to President A. A. Muir

more than 100000 agricultural
jubs are waiting for this army of

.TEUTONS CLOSE

WITHIN F0RTY-sfvEH MILES
Have Taken Alexandra No fH-
poranf Engagements on Mace
donian Front Allies Pre-
pare for New Offensive

London, Eng. The entire line
Of the Alt River in Roumania rum
ming south through the country
from the Pennsylvania Alps to the
Danube now is in the hands Of the
Teutonic Allies. In all directions
the invaders are continuing to
make progress, with Bucharest
their main objective, daily coming
nearer.
The southern and eastern drive
in the Alt region has brought the
Teutonic forces across the Topo-
log River, while to the south be-
tween Richi De Vede and Valeni
their line has been drawn consid-
crably nearer the Roumanian cap
ital. Alexandria, forty-seven
miles southeast of Bucharest, has
been taken by Field Marshal Won
Mackensen's troops.
Considering the swiftness Of the
advance Of the Teutonic Allies
through Wallachia, comparatively
few prisoners have been taken, al
though semi-official reports credit
them with having captured con-
siderable supplies of needed stor-
es.
Near Orsova twenty-eight Of
iiccrs and 1000 men were made
prisoner while In the Alt region,
near Tigveni, ten additional of1ic-
ers and 400 men fell into the
hands Of the Teutons.
The battle extending over front
of about seventeen miles north
west and northeast of Monastir
between Tirnovo and Malovo-
the Entente Allies, according to
Berlin, have met with a severe
defeat through the failure of an
attack launched against the lines
of the allies of the Central Pow
ers. Aside from reports of the re-
pulse of the Bulgarians by the
Serbians and of continued prog
ress for the Italians west of Mon
astir the Entente Allied war of
fees record no important engage
ments on the Macedonian 'front.'.
In the Carnia sector of the Au-
stro-ltalian theatre and east of
Gorizia the Austrians are vigor-
ously shelling the Italians.
On the Russian front there has
been considerable activity by both
the Russians and Germans at var
ious points. Comparative calm
prevails all along the front in
France so far as infantry engage
ments are concerned. A Berlin
semi-official dispatch says there
are indications that the Entente
Allies contemplate fresh offensiv-
es, probably near Armentieres and
east of Arras, where heavy artil-
lery bombardments are being car
ried out, and also on the st. Mihiel
salient southeast of Verdun.
Another semi-official dispatch
from Berlin quotes Constantinople
advices to the effect that Arabs on
the Tripoli-Tunis frontier in North
Africa have defeated the Italians
and carried the fight across the
border into the Tunis against the
French. The losses Of the Italians 2
are estimated at 10000 men, not
including prisoners taken into the
interior by the Arabs.
Great Britian has definitely de-
cllned to grant safe conduct to
the United States Of the newly ap-
pointed Austro-Hungarian ambas-
sador.
