MARION AGRICULTURAL
COMMITTEE TO MEET

There will be a very important
meeting of the Marion county agri-
cultural committee in the courthouse
Tuesday, Nov. 6, at 10 a. m.
The members of this committee and
any others interested are requested
to be present as two subject of spe-
cial Importance will be taken up at
this meeting.
Hog cholera; after few months of
ease, it has appeared in different
parts of the county and it will take
quick and concerted efforts on the
part of the farmers to save them.
selves from great loss from this dis
ease. The livestock sanitary board of
the state was created to assist the
U. S. department of agriculture in
handling this disease. While nothing
has been done so far by this board,
am trying to get one of the members
of the board to be present that day
and explain what we can expect from
that body. DR.. Logan, the u. S. de-
partment specialist in charge of hog
cholera work in the state, will be
present. This subject is of vital i'm
portance to every person in the coun-
ty, whether he is farmer or not and
the county agricultural committee in
tends to leave no stone unturned in an
effort to control this disease.
The labor problem for next years
crop is causing the farmer a great
deal of worry The insistent call for
increased production and the growing
scarcity of labor is troubling us and
we want to discuss any plan which
might give US relief from this short
age. The u. S. department labor
specialist may be present at this
meeting and tell US what he has been
able to find out in regard to labor
condition elsewhere and what we
can expect in the line of extra help
for next year.
With these two important subjects
to be discussed good meeting is as
sured. r. w. Blackjack,
County Agent.

DISCIPLINE
Is Strongly Exemplifed by the Con-
duct of American Soldiers
in England
ASSOCIATED Press)

London-( Correspondence Sever
al detachments of American soldiers
in training for aviation work are now
located at aerodromes within the con-
fines of Greater London, and are seen
during their leisure house sightseeing
about the city or doing their shopping
along Regent street, Bond street, or
in the shops around Oxford Circus.
To the British eye, the notable diff
ference between the Americans in
training and the British squads along
side them, is a somewhat more demo-
cratic flavor in the American ranks.
In one American camp, the spirit of
self government is carried so far that
no commissioned officer is on duty
there at present, the detachment be-
ing under command of senior non.
commissioned officer. He is common
ly called "sergeant-major" about the
camp, although his correct title,
which suggests the navy rather than
the army, is master signalling cleo
trician.
When the United States came into
the war, this officer was in charge of
a group of men on CONSTITUTIONAL
work in the United States. The men
under him have been recruited chief
ly from automobile factories, with a
sprinkling of young collegians. The
squad is at present edvoting its time
to learning the construction of an
airplane. The men are at times a
little impatient about the deliberate
methods of the English instructors,
and would rather have little less
theory and little more practice. But
they know that the practice is only a
matter of few weeks now.
In the matter of discipline, the
Americans are little less observant
of the letterof the law then the
British recruits. "For instance" said
one, 1--WE temper custom with judg-
ment. If an officer looks as if he was
tired of raising his arm we don't
bother him. We don't go around the
streets salute-hunting

WHAT CAN YOU GET
FOR A QUARTER?

There are lots of bargains to be
had; and you probably have as been
an eye for them as anybody. Did you
ever think of the best "buy" you ever
made for quarter?
You. can get lot of different things
for 25 cents; list of them would be
quite an extensive one. You can get
a couple of pretty good cigars; you
can get a stick of shaving soap; half
a dozen fairly good lead pencils; you
can get pretty decent pair of cotton
socks; you may even think 25 cent
necktie will do. A quarter used to
pay for couple of collars; not now.
You can think of lot of things
you can do with a quarter, but you
will not be able to think of anything
that will begin to give you as much
pleasure or real satisfaction for 25
cents, as to come in to the Star Office
and subscribe it for our fund for
sending a kit of smokes to soldiers.
The value of this kit if you bought
it for yourself, without the post card
would be 45 cents. The transporta.
tion of it. to the soldier at the front
is taken care of; the French govern
ment permits it to enter France duty
free, and agrees to transmit the post
card back to you for one cent.
So much actual, tangible value you
get for 25 cents. But if you add to
'thatean estimated value in the pleas
ure, comfort, solace, which the con-
tents of your gift package will give
to the soldier of your country In
France-it can't be estimated accur-
ately-youn see that you're getting
the biggest % cent bargain you ever
had When you see bargain like
this, grab it.
The fund now stands.

BOYS HAD A GASOLINE BATH

With the American Army in
France, Nov. First battalions of
Americans in the trenches have been
relieved by others. Relief, which is
considered one of the critical periods
when the enemy by shelling the ap-
proaches to the positions may infict
heavy damage, was accomplished sue
cessfully. Apparently the enemy was
not aware of what was going on with
the men back in billets. It now is
permitted to mention for the first
time that the casualties were negli-
gible. In fact, more men are suffer-
ing with "trench feetss thin with SER
ious wounds.
From military standpoint the ex-
perience gained by the Americans is
considered of very high value in the
training of contingents which are yet
to arrive on French soil.
1t was a tired, wet, mud-caked body
of men that returned to billets. The
men had only two clear days while in
the trenches. Before anything else
they required a bath, first with gaso-
line and then water.
Today the sun was shining brightly
and the returned soldiers spent most
of the time summing. themselves and
their belongings.
Tonight the returned battalions are
clean and ready to go back again.

TOKYO STREETS ARE A JAPAN
ESE PUZZLE

Tokyo is made up of a group of
small towns which expanded until,
like the old lady's two teeth, they hit.
1t is the most conservative city in
Japan, and is the one most lacking
in unity of spirit. Each district has
it's own market and it's own shops.
Homes and stores are mixed together
in bewildering confusion, and even
old residents find it hard to find their
way about the crooked streets.
On my motorcycle, the only way I
have mastered the problem is by me-
morizing the numbers of the tram
lines and then riding. till I see car.
Then ! know where / am. The city
is grouped around the Imperial Pal
ace, and segments, like dehorned
pieces of pie, radiate from the center
of the cobweb. AS one cannot start
from the center of this mixup, due
to the fact that that is where the
sacred person of the Emperor holds
court, he must play ring around the
rosy, at some distance from the CEN
ter. If he is near the outer circum-
ference. two miles on his speedometer
mean one thing. If he circles the
inner moat, they mean another =
