HOOVER ON FOOD PRO

Herbert Hoover's message to the
American people on the subject OF
Food Production and Conservation is
especially interesting and timely, as
it concerns practically every person in
the United States, and in fact thru
out the world. Do not fail to read it
in this issue of the Pilot.

ALSO SOLD

There was rather funny incident
in the Star Office, the other day. A
colored farmer named Peter Paul,
who lives out near Martin, came into
the editorial room and laid down by
the editors table huge watermelon.
1t was whopper, being over two
feet long and weighing So pounds.
Judging by it's looks, it was full of
good, red meat.
Now it has always been understood
that when a man brings water
melon into newspaper Office, the said
melon is for the editor and printers
to eat. We have been in the printing
business ever since 1882, and in all
that time we never before knew a
melon to come into printing Office
and go out again uncut.
We do not take the undiluted Joy
in eating a melon that we once did
but the balance of the bunch are
young yet, so they looked at that
melon and smiled and smiled.
We took down the dimensions and
weight of the melon, and farmers
name, etc., and were about to tell the
boys to go to it, when the darkey
shouldered the succulent oval and
started out.
what are you going to do with
ii ?" we inquired.
'It's dun sold, sah," said the col
ored man, grinning.
"All right, uncle; we are sold, too
we said, as he marched out with the
melon and as we looked at the sor.
rowful faces of our linotype operator
foreman and devil.
Next time any man wants to give
this Office the size of a watermelon
without giving it the melon, will he
please do so by long distance phone
so we can safely tell him what we
think of him.

Two hundred immoral women ar
rested in Pensacola, because it was
feared they would contaminate the
sailors at the naval station at that
place, were given heavy fines, which
We're suspended on condition that they
go to another state. That is one of
the things that we kick about. No
attempt is made to help the women
or give them chance to reform. In
stead they are sent somewhere else
To keep them from corrupting one
set of men, they are sent somewhere
to corrupt another set of men. Of
all the men on the face of the earth,
none are better able to take care of
themselves than sailors. They are
far more sophisticated than the boys
and men in inland towns to which
these women will go. And other wom-
en- will be sure to go in to take
their places. They will have to take
other methods than those of the "re-
stricted district" to meet the men,
but they will meet them, as sure as
two and two make four. Another
question is, what right has one town
OF one state to put its immortality off
on another? Has it any more right
to send away bad characters than it
has to send away bad health?

TRAMMELL SAYS Is ISN'T TRUE

The Star has received a communi-
cation from Senator Trammell, in
which he says that every reference
made to him in the Stars editorial of
July 10, headed "TrammelI Among
the Tardy," is untrue.
The article was based on an AS
ISOLATED Press dispatch Of July IS,
which said:
Senators who were prominent
against CONSUMPTION have secured a
postponement of the aviation pro
gram appropriation until next week"
The dispatch gave the names Of
the senators voting against the bill a.
follows: Borah, Broussard, Cummins,
Gore, Gronna, Hardwick, Johnson Of
California, Kenyon, LaFollette, Nc
KelIar, McNary, Nelson, Norris,
Ransdell, Shields, Sutherland and
Trammell.
We are glad to receive Mr.. Tram
mell's assurance that the Star, or
rather the dispatch, was wrong. We
are sorry when we see or hear of his
voting against the administration
with its consistent opponent, Hard
wick of Georgia, or LaFollette, who
represents Prussia more than he
does Wisconsin in the United States
Senate.

No attempt is being made in Wash
ington to minimize the seriousness
of the situation in the war theaters.
The United States is in the war and
will go through with it, but any hope
of short struggle has gone glim-
mering with the collapse of the Rus
sian war machine. For the United
States the Russian collapse may have
an immediate bearing for if the Ger
mans press their advantage they may
realize additional forces to bolster UP
the western front where the Ameri-
can forces will be engaged. Ameri-
can transportation problems, on land
and sea, are constantly increasing in
their scope.

ALCOHOL GETS MEDICAL TABOO.


AT the annual meeting of the house
of delegates of the American Medical
association, held in New York in June,
resolution was adopted condemning
the use of alcohol. Such resolution
was presented by DR.. Frank Billings
of Chicago chairman of the assOcia-
TONS council of health and public in
struction, and after discussion was
passed as follows:
Whereas, We believe that the use
of alcohol is detrimental to the human
economy, and whereas its use in Their
apeutics as a tonic or stimulant or for
food has no scientific value, therefore
BE it resolved, That the American
Medical association is opposed to the
use of alcohol as a beverage; and
BE it further resolved, That the use
of alcohol as a therapeutic agent
should be further discouraged"
The American Medical association
has membership of 81 900 physicians
and surgeons.

Says the Orlando Reporter-Star:
Editor Benjamin of the Ocala Star
has written the kind of an editorial
on the kind of subject which requires
clear and courageous thinking and ex-
preston. It's on the question of WHIP
ing out the segregated district, which
is now vexing Miami, Tampa, Pensa-
cola and other Florida cities. The
Reporter-Star adheres to the Benja-
min point of view. Moral conditions
were never improved by the methods
usually employed, namely, to chase
the women out. They don't stay
away, and become more of menace
when swallowed up in the crowd than
otherwise. 1t is true, moreover, as
Benjamin says, that the spasmodic
efforts at improving conditions are
generally, if not always, insincere,

The defeat of the Russians, owing
to the cowardice and treachery of
their own men, as recorded in yester-
days dispatches, was bad one, but
it was only temporary setback. The
Russians have done some noble fight
ing during this war, and while there
are certain to be traitors and cow
ards among them the nation is not
going to lie down and let the Ger
mans run over it. The result of this
fighting makes it more likely that we
are in for a long war, but if we didn't
calculate on going the limit, we should
not have gone in..

problem of the provisional govern

revolution, whatever the cost might
be. The government, he said, was
determined to make a resolute stand
against anything which threatened
the ruin of the state. The premier
stated that establishment of the
death penalty at the front was neces-

the army to body of traitors and

AID FOR COMPANY A
Fund is Likely to Help Your Boy or
Your Friends Boy

From my own experience | know
that every company in military ser
vice needs a company fund. Company
A which is soon to leave Ocala, needs
such a fund, and few men in Ocala
have been trying to secure it for
them. The response has been gener-
Gus thus far, but there are many peo-
pie here who have given nothing to-
wards it. We should all have enough
pride and interest in our local COM
pany to lead US to help this fund. So
far almost every one who has con-
tributed to it has waited to be asked
to do so. This has meant a lot of
work for the men who have taken this
matter in charge, and taken a lot of
their time Now you are asked to
help them by sending in your con-
tribution. The time before Company
A leaves Ocala is short. Send in your
contribution now. Do not wait to be
called on and asked to contribute. The
company fund will probably help your
boy or your friend in many ways
while he is in service. Give or send
your gift to Mr.. w. T. Gary, Mr..
Charles Hunter, Mr.. G. A. Nash or
the undersigned. See that it it done
at once. Help the Company A fund
now. Small gifts will be gladly re-
ceived, as we'll as large ones.
