FLORIDA STATE FAIR

United States Exhibit at the Expo
sition to Cost $25,000
In addition to the mammoth exhibit
of the United States department of
agriculture, bureau of animal indus
try, forestry department, good roads
department and weather bureau, at
the Florida State Fair and Exposition
which will be held in Jacksonville
from Feb. 26 to March 9, 1918, inclus-
i've, Secretar yof the Navy Josephus
Daniels has announced to President
w. F. Coachman, General Manager
B. K. Hanafourde, Secretary B. K.
Kessler, Vice President D. D. Up
church and Treasurer A. P. Anthony,
that he will send to the Florida State
Fair, a gigantic naval exhibit, costing
approximately $4,000 to assemble.
This naval exhibit will include min
iature battleships, torpedo boats, tor
pedoes of life size, and many other
requisites of the great United States
navy. The exhibit will be particular
ly attractive to the Floridian and Wis
itor from other states, in that it will
demonstrate to them, the kind of ves-
sells and machines of destruction our
sea fighters are using in order TO
bring victory to democracy, and make
the sea safe for the world. The per-
son who misses this great naval ex-
hibit of his nations ocean fighting
machine, will fail to appreciate the
efforts of his country to make his
home safe from invasion of German
autocracy, and the exhibit alone will
be more than worth the price of a
ticket to the Florida State Fair.

SILLY ARGUMENT
OF THE SIACKERS
Constitutionality of the Draft Law
Being Contested Before the
. Supreme Court
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Dec. 13.-Arguments
in draft cases growing out of convic-
tions in Georgia, New York, Ohio,
and Minnesota, under the selective
draft act were begun today in the
Supreme Court. Nine separate suits
are involved.
The attorneys representing defend
ants attacked the constitutionality of
the act, contending it prevented polit-
ical and religious freedom, denies
citizens equal protection, and also al
legged the law was void because state
officials aid in it's enforcement con-
trary to the constitution.
Solicitor General Davis, represent
ing the government, termed the argu-
ments against the constitutionality Of
the act as frivolous.

OCALA OFFERS THE
GOVERNMENT ALL
WELCOME TO Anything IT WANTS To THE END

The telegram from Congressman
Clark to the Star, asking what Ocala
could do to secure a convalescent

sponse.
1t must be understood, of course,
that Mr.. Clark sent the same message
to all the larger towns in his district,
as he is duty bound to do for all
what he does for one.
The board of trade room was
crowded with representative citizens,
at eight o'clock Wednesday evening,
all anxious to do what they could to
secure the honor for their town.
Mr.. w. T. Gary presided over the
meeting and Jake Brown acted as
secretary. Mr.. Gary stated the object
of the meeting.
Substantial offers were made III
rapid succession.
Messrs. R. F. Rogers and c. w.
Hunter told of their interview with
Senator Fletcher when he was here
during fair week, and his promise to
do what he could to secure the camp
for Ocala.
President earn of the Marion Fair
Association said the government
could have the fair grounds, or that
he would give the government twenty
acres of his own land just east of the
city and in superb location. AS
chairman of the board of county COM
missioners, he felt authorized to say
that if the government took this
latter site a frst-class road would be
built to- it,, and that it could have
lights and water free.
Mr.. L. R. Chazal said he would give
the government forty acres near the
city.
Mr.. John Taylor said he would give
forty acres, Or a hundred if the gov
ernment wanted them.
Mr.. Ben Rheinauer said the gov
ernment could have the Marion
County Hospital, whose worth has
been proven by years of service.
Other offers made and sentiments
expressed showed that Ocala would
regard the hospital as an honor and
trust, and was willing to do every
thing possible to help the govern
ment in caring for it.
The following telegram was order
ed sent at once to Congressman
Clark:

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT
A Singing Rebuke Administered by
Judge Bullock to All Dis
loyal Men

The circuit court has been busy all
week with a number of minor crimi-'
nal cases, none being of any great
moment.
The grand jury this morning,
brought in it's presentment, embodied
in which was a recommendation that
the authorities deal with all authors
of disloyal talk. This brought a Wig
orous commentator from Judge Bull
lock, who severely censured all men
who could express disloyal sentiments
in this stage of the nations history.
Following is the grand jury pre-
sentiment:
General Presentment of the Grand
Jury
Ocala, Fla, Dec. 13, 1917.
Hon. w. S. Bullock, Judge Fifth Ju-
dicial Circuit, of Florida:
We, the grand jurors, sworn and
empaneled at this the fall term OF
the circuit court in and for Marion
county, Florida, A. D. 1917, having
completed our labors, beg to submit
GfllS our HIldl pT0SGuIulSuI.
We have examined great many
cases and have found true bills only
where we thought the evidence would
justify a conviction. We regret to
say that in some instances we have
been unable to find sufficient evidence
to bring the guilty parties to justice.
We are also pleased to say that we
find crime on the decrease in our
county which fact every citizen should
rejoice in.
During our deliberations the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
"Whereas, our country is at war,
we the grand jurors of Marion coun-
ty, Florida, at the fall term of the cir
cult court, A. D. 1917, pledge our un-
qualified support to President Wilson,
in the conduct of this most just strug-
gle for the liberties of humanity, and
we call upon all of our citizens to
frown upon and put down all speech
or acts to aid the enemy and urge
upon our county officials to be vigi-
liant and report Immediately to the
federal authorities any person or per-
sons guilty of such treason"
We have examined the county Jail
and found it neat and well kept and
all prisoners well provided for. We
recommend to the county commits
sioners that the plumbing in the Jail
be overhauled and put in first class
condition at once.

and various county offices. We recon-
mend that the roof of the court house
be repaired and that some store room

London, Dec. 13.-The Associated
Press inquired of high naval author
ity today eff the anti-submarine war
is going we'll, what is the reason for
the high rate of sinking the past
three weeks?" The answer was "the
enemy has had more submarines at
work. He has actually been attempt
ing a submarine offensive of the larg-
est possible magnitude, in an effort
to reinforce his offensive on land. He
is trying to bring off a coup which
would incline US to peace. He has
failed signally on the sea as on the
land and has had to pay a heavy
price. Our counter measures are
meeting with increased success"

SOME HOT CANE!
Spectators at Saturday Battle,
However, Didn't Feel Heat.
SOx Big Wag End Rally Sur
prise to Own Followers.
BY w. G. CLUGSTON.
(SPOrting Editor State JouTnaI.)

There may Be way to dope base
ball. Hugh Fullerton. the famous
Chicago sport writer, claims there is
and others more or less famous back
MIN up, but when a star spangled
worlds classic is played under ideal
football weather conditions, as was
saturdays Chicago clash between the
SoX and Giants, then there amt no
dope and there amt no living man
who can look half an inning ahead
and tell what the score will be or
now many runs a team of fighting,
freezing ball players will pile up.
saturdays game was the freak act
OF the big diamond production and
nothing that can happen today, or to-
morrow if the contest goes to the
limit, can take away this unique
honor.
Giants Had Cinch.
Altho it seemed that every one of
the more than $4,000 who saw the
contest were tickled plum to death
with the way the fracas ended up
there is no doubt that the Giants
should have had the scoreboard locked
IN their own safety deposit vault at
the close of the first half of the fourth
inning. They had a three run lead
ana they had been playing and We're
capable of playing just as good ball
as the American Leaguers, but the I'M
expected happened and the uncon-
querao1e cavorterS of ComiSkey sim
ply outdid themselves in the seventh
when they began their whirlwind fin
ish drive and put across the three
scores that tied the count. This took
the confidence away from the New
orkers, 1t seemed, and in the eighth

known that his team was not to be
denied when he got a Texas Lacquer

ms drove in the winning run with A
single to center.
ger Rowland, of the Sox, resorted to
the McGraw style of play and ordered
a mt and run thrust. Jackson singled
10 right and Eddie Collins did not stop
running until he was at third. The
Giants were apparently peeved at the
audaclty of the westernefs in stealing
their thunder and they made a mad
effort to cut off Collins at third.
Robertson threw to<zimmerman who
realized Eddie Collins was safe and
VINO tried frantically to cut down Jack
son at second. He was too anxious.
however, and threw wildly, Collins
scoring and Jackson going to third.
Sallee to Shower.
Sallee who had pitched winning
pail up to the sixth inning and whose
let down can only be claSsed as one
OF the inexplicable things that left
handlers do was taken from the mound
after Eddie Collins had scored in the
eight and Pol Perritt took Sims
place on the mound. Perritt how
ever, must have been as cold as every
one of the spectators, because E'elsch
hit him for single right off the reel
and scored Jackson
This was the end-the end of the
scoring of what old-timers said was
one of the sWeirdest er and most up-
usual worlds series games played in
recent years. Gandil hit a fly that
Burns took easily and Felsch was cut
stealing
Only three Giants faced Cicotte
the savior, in the ninth and everybody
made mad rush for stoves and other
warming up things.

AGGIES BEAT MISSOURI
One Point Won for Kansas in Annual
Game With Tigers.

Columbia, Mo, Oct. 15.-After three
periods of the hardest fighting seen
on Rollins field in any football game
for years. the University of Missouri
and the Kansas Aggies finished their
annual battle here Saturday with a
score of 7 to in favor of the Aggies.
1t was a battle until the final whistle
Missouri's backtield proved itself
worthy of the attention that has been
given it, the work of Rider and Viner
showing up for many of the Tigers
best gains.
Kinds, the Aggie star halfback, did
the best work for the Clevenger-
Schultz eleven. Dodging, jumping, hit
ting the line, the shifty little Aggie
back had the ball for most of the Ag-
gle gains and earned his right to his
touchdown, which he made in the last
few minutes of the third quarter.
A place kick by Slusher failed in the
third period and lost for Missouri an
other chance to beat the Aggies'
touchdown.
The gains made by rushes on the
part of the Tigers were doubled by the
Aggies, the total of the Aggies being
156 to the Tigers rs, but the Tigers
made best gains in forward passes, the
score in this line being 40 yards gained
by the Missourians to 3S yards by the
kansans. Three unsuccessful passes
were made by Missouri and five by the
Kansans Missouri lost forty yards in
penalties, while the Aggies lost noth-
ing for this reason.
