OPENING MAIN STREET

The Banner wants mass meeting
at which the candidates for alderman
ic honers may contend for the popu-
lar vote by announcing they are in
favor of the city buying several thou
sand dollars worth of property to
open Main street to the union station.
It's the Stars opinion that any mem
Der of the council who proposes this
improvement at this time will lose
more votes than he will gain. Mag.
nolia street can very comfortably
take care of all the traffic we have
now It hasn't been crowded since
Company A went away. and may not
be crowded again until it returns. If
Main street was opened, which it
would take at least $4,000 to do, and
maybe more, it would save about 100
yards of distance between the square
and the station And the autoes
would continue to use Magnolia unless
Main was paved. We don't know how
much it would cost to pave Main
street, but from Washington street to
the station is five city blocks, the
street is about thirty feet wide, and
paving would cost from SITS to So a
square yard, SO you can step it off and
figure it out to suit yourself. When
you take into consideration that Other
streets, the most used in town, are
suffering for attention, that the
ground around our primary school
turns into lake in every heavy rain
because East Fourth street is block
ed, we think you will agree with the
Star that opening Main street can
wait until we have more traffic and
more money.
If the council, however, could swap
quarter section off our verniform
appendix of civic center in exchange
for the property between the present
foot of Main and the union station,
the Star would encourage the deal.

COOPERATION is BEST

The United States department of
agriculture thought so much of the
proper distribution of the fruits and
vegetables of this government that it
created a departments bureau of
markets, in all the large cities in the
United States.
Last weeks report said the price
on well cured, good sweet potatoes
was enough to net the grower in this
state $1.75 per bushel basket. In an
other market for like goods and size
of package the grower would receive
but 5 0cents a package, making a diff
ference to the Florida shipper OF
$500 for a 500-crate carload.
The above is fair sample Of each
days report.
Florida shipped last year $4,000
carloads of fruits and vegetables. I
believe the state lost $5,00O,0O0 by
bad distribution last year. The in>.
dividual shipper who does not keep in
daily touch of the markets is but lit
tie better off. Cooperative shipping
by those who keep posted on market
tariffs, amount in transit and values
get best results.
Florida farmers, you are too little
to go it alone; the load is too big to
pull by yourself. Yoke up with your
brother farmer. 1t will pay you.

IN TOMORROW's ELECTION
Every Voter is Entitled to Vote for
Mayor and Five Aldermen

Judging by what the Star hears, a
good many of the voters are not
aware that in tomorrow's election,
the first held under the new charter.
they are entitled and expect to vote
for alderman not only in their own
wards, but the other three.
The election will be held at the city
hall from 8 a. m. until sunset. There
will be two boxes, one from A to L,
the other from M to q.
The candidates are as follows:
For Mayor: J. E. Chace, John D.
Robertson.
For Councilman at Large: John II.
Taylor, A. T. Thomas.
For councilman from First Ward:
A. A. Winer.
For Councilman from Second Ward:
j. j. Gerig, E. A. Osborne.
For Councilman from Third Ward:
D. E. McIver, Charles W. Hunter.
For Councilman from Fourth
Ward: G. A. Nash, F. G. B. Weihe,
J. w, johnson.
Each voter should vote for mayor,
for alderman at large, an alderman
in his own ward and an alderman in
each other ward. He should vote for
six candidates in all.

We are certain about one thing
about tomorrow's election, and that
is, A. A. Winer, who now represents
the first ward in the council, will be
reelected. Andy is a good old scout
and is making a fine alderman, and
we don't suppose anybody hankered
for the useless job of running against
him,

FIRE DESTROYS WHEAT.

The grain harvest belonging to l.. A.
Skipitarey, who lives on a homestead
| about four and one-half miles north
east of Oroville, was destroyed by fire
about midnight last Monday night, en-
failing loss of two stacks of wheat
and one of oats.
Mr.. Skipitarey states that he has not
the least idea how the fire occurred.
Only on account of a breakdown was
the threShing outfit saved from being
consumed in the blaze, as the grain
was to have been threshed the next
day. Mr. Skipitarey states that he
and Ed. Hall were sleeping together
when he was awakened by Mr.. Hall,
who stated that they had better get
up as it was becoming daylight. Upon
going to the door Mr.. Skipitarey dis
covered that his grain stacks were
burning. The fire had started appar-
emily about four feet from the ground
and from all appearances had been
the work of an incendiry. The
stacks had been well protected with
fire guards and every precaution ta-
ken against anything of this nature
The loss amounts to somewhere be-
tween 500 and 1000 bushels and Mr..
Skipitary carried insurance to the ex-
tent of 800 bushels. 1t is rumored
that the neighbors saw stranger
from across the line visit the prem
ises late Monday afternoon, but this
was some hours before the fire was
discovered

WIDE TIRE LAW.
The following table gives the maxi
mum load for one wheel:

For other tire widths or diameters
Of wheel, maximum loads are propor-
tionate.
To find the maximum load for, say,
the rear wheels, double the figures CIV
in the above table for the proper tire
width and diameter of wheel. Add the
maximum load for rear and front
wheels according to the respective di-
mensions and deduct the weight of the
vehicle, including bed or box and driv-
er, to find the net carrying capacity of
the vehicle. Remember the law states
the load must be so limited and ad-
justed that the total load bearing on
the road as transmitted through the
axle and on the tire of any one wheel
will not exceed the amount given in
the above table for the width of the
tire and diameter of that Wheel Tire
widths are measured as being that sur
face bearing on the road.
Wheels with lugs, spikes, etc., such
as threshing engine wheels are prohib-
tied on improved state roads, perman-
ent highways or other improved roads
of similar character. Respectfully,

County Engineer.

MARCUS MOTHER WANTS son
HOME.

Washington, Aug 16-Irate because
her son had been drafted to military
service, her mother love outraged, un-
able to understand why, Mrs. Mabel
Boarman, of Marcus, Wash, wrote re-
Gently to Senator Poindexter letter
of protest Here is what Senator
POindexter has written her in reply,
many questions which German pro-
pagandists are putting into the
mouths of innocent people:
"My Dear Mrs. Boarman: I am just
in receipt of yours of recent date and
appreciate very much your feeling in
regard to your sons military service.
Please advise me his name and the
number under which he has been
drafted.
81 myself, think the best use any
one can make Of his life, which at any
rate is very limited, is to use it in the
service of his country. However,
notice there are great many who do
not want their sons to serve. OF course
If all were that way we should have
a very poor country, yet their feelings
may be natural.
81 notice your request for a defini-
ton of what we are fighting for in
this war. In reply l would say that
we are fighting for the right to live
We are fighting for the right to main
tain our own government without the
pto Nf w
are also fighting for the right to do
business on the seas in accordance
with just rules which have been
agreed upon by merchants and civil
lied nations.
II notice some people claim they
prefer to fight the war in the United
States. I do not feel that way myself,
as it would be very destructive. | see
no advantage in having armies tram
pling upon our lands, tearing down
our cities, manning our children, out
raging our women, which is the ex-
perience of all those countries which
have been overrun by Germany.
l also notice your inquiry as to
whether we have ever had any demo-
cracy in the United States. You are
as capable of Judging that as | am,
suppose; at least all the information
on the subject is available. We have
an election every two years through
| which the people can control the gov
government.
81 notice also your reference to the
war debts and of course they are
very unfortunate. They are not one
tenth as large, however, as the indem-
mites, taxes and damages that would
be assessed and imposed upon us by
the Germans if they win the war, to
say nothing of nameless injuries oi
various kinds,
with kind regards,
Very truly yours,
MILES POINDEXTER."
