NECESSARY
TO ACCOMPLISHMENT
Let Us Try to Make Our Coming
Marion County Fair
Record Breaker

Before any good work can be ac-
complished men and women must be
enthused and inspired to accomplish
such work.
Inspiration is necessary to success,
for without it incessant industry be-
comes discouraged and lags by the
wayside and never reaches the
heights of success. We must have
some aim in life and in order that we
NAV have an aim there must be some
inspiration.
Inspiration and industry are boon
companions, and while there can be
no real success in life without indus
try, whole-souled and continued in
dustry are impossible without inspir-
alton; so the logical conclusion is,
that after all on inspiration depends
success.
From whence came the inspiration
that enlisted so many willing work
ers, in such a remarkably short space
of time, in the planting of more ex-
tensive acreage and emergency food
gardens, in answer to the appeal of
| the government for greater agricul-
tural activities.
| From whence comes the inspira-
tion that is pushing forward the food
conservation work. Think you all Of
this was brought about in a few days,
weeks or even months? No indeed,
the good work begun years ago with
the establishment of the first fairs,
and ha sheen fostered and advanced
to efficiency by fair workers and
county agents and demonstrators.
These are the factors on whom the
government is depending to push for
ward its campaign of "grow more,
save more food"
There will be 230O fairs held in the
United States this year, and this
means a wonderful stimulus to agri-
cultural interests, and will do much
to clear away the fob of doubt and
misgiving, which has caused many in
all parts of the country to question
whether fairs would be held this veal
or not.
Before the northern fairs begur
about three months ago it was the
consensus of opinion of a great mum
Der of boards and secretaries that the
war would make little or no differ
ence in the fairs, and all agreed tha
it was the patriotic duty of fair as
: sociations to lend every effort TOWARD
stimulating crop production and en-
couraging food conservation, by hold
: ing their fairs as usual, makins
strenuous effort to increase their ef
ficiency in every department.
The fairs that have already bee
held in the north, east, west an
south so far have been record break
ers. Let US make our fair a recor
breaker also.
Let every member of the fai
board, each superintendent and com
|, mitteeman feel that it is a privileg
to have a part in this fair work thi
year, and to help make it a success
financially that we may continue t
l have our fair from year to year, tha
Il those furnishing the food supply t
: help win the war may have the il
u spring, educating and encouragin
benefits therefrom.

OUR MALE ADVISERS


without Apologies to Walt Mason)
In every paper we pick up. We see
where some great man. is telling q
the women folks Of some
to can. Some new way to save two
cents by fifty times the work; he's
got the job before him, and Of course
he cannot shirk. When al the tirae
we women know, and maybe he
knows, too, he couldn't tel kitchen
sink, or what to put IN stew. OF
half the things he says to do, We
know he's made guess, and Of the
other half we find, the mixture is 3
mess. The time that's lost has gone
for aye. and nothing there to show,
but temper lost-and vegetables-no
gain against the foe. The men who
take a woman's work. and draw 4
bigger pay, can never help the ns,-
tons cause-they'd better fade
away, and let woman who has tried,
and can't be fooled on dope, inspect
all public articles on making soup
or soap.
The above was written by young
lady in Palatka after reading the
article in last weeks News by a re-
sentful woman against the advise and
recipes given housekeepers by some
of the food administration cranks.
The young lady prefers not to have
her name attached.-Palatk News.
That young lady hailed from Pa
latka, but she now makes her home
in Ocala and her brightness is so well
known to her friends that they viii
have no trouble in placing her. The
production is a very good one, and Il
we had met it on the street by itself,
we would have sworn it was one OF
Walt Mason's children.

A RANK FRAUD

Editor Star: Some credulous and
superstitious persons in Ocala are
sending to others what they call a
"Red Cross Chain and Ancient Pray
er," and asking that. it be passed on
to nine others by the recipient. With
the letter is the assurance that the
one who fulfills the demand and sends
this foolishness to nine others will
receive some wonderful blessing. We
want to protest against this. The
Red Cross Society has issued a state
ment against this fraud. Any one
who will stop to think will see how
absurd it is. The war has been GO
ing on now little over three years.
Yet here we are asked to send on an
"ancient prayer" 1t could not grow
were "ancient" in three years. This
sending this foolish stuff to nine
| friends means that the one who does
this will spend about 25 cents in post
age and for stationery. beside the
time that is required to write nine
letters. Time and money would be
| better spend in working for the Red
Cross, and this would not mean the
stirring up of fear that is in the
hearts of many people who will be
disturbed when they get this letter
for fear they will not meet the de.
mands that it makes. We hope thai
the good people of Ocala will throw
such letters in the fire, if they receive
them, and not infiict, them upor
others by sending to them copies Of
this fraudulent thing.

AIR RAID MADE ON ENGLAND LAST NIGHT But THE ASSAIL
ANTS WERE BEATEN OFF
ASSOCIATED Press)

Zeppelins at midnight last night
raided the eastern and northeastern
counties of England and approached
London. They dropped bombs at
several places, killing 27 and wound
ing SO people in all sections, it was
officially announced. The statement
also says material damage was done
to houses and business places. Altho'
some bombs fell in the London area
the protective guns got busy at once
and it is believed the raiders were
checked before making any serious
attempt at the inner part of the city.

TO DOWN THE
GERMAN SPY SYSTEM

Of course every one has been read
ing of the American Defense Society,
which is composed of such great men
as Wilson, Taft, Roosevelt and many
others, and of Mrs. Wilson, Mrs.
Lansing, Mrs. McAdoo and other pat
riotic women of our country. Well,
their very latest idea of helping to
win this world-war is as follows:
They have backed morally and finan-
cially a wonderful moving picture
called, GA Man Without Country"
which shows the methods of the Ger
man spy system. The purpose of the
picture is to show innocent, never
suspecting citizens the manner in
which many are being fooled by these
clever people. This German spy sys-
TEN must be downed, and in order to
do so. the people must understand the
situation, and money, money, money
is needed. So to raise a part of the
vast sums required, people in New
York and other large cities have been
going by the thousands to see ga Man
Without Country" for which two
dollars was charged, and an Ocala
ladys says it is wonderful.
October the defense month" was
chosen during which to show this
production, which President Wilson
expects to be shown in every town in
the United States.
The American Defense Society
wrote to Mrs. J. E. Chace, asking her
to take charge of this work in Ocala,
and Mrs. Chace assisted by Miss
Alice Bullock, spent a very busy
morning today trying to secure the
cooperation of the ministers of the
town. Mr.. Bennett will gladly donate
the Temple theater on any Sunday
afternoon for this purpose. Now
many people think pictures on Sun
day a sin, but thousands of other
places show movies on that day and
evening. If this picture will be
shown here, it will not run in the
evening, only in the afternoon, and
only on Sunday because they can't
get the Temple any other day. Nc
one will make a cent out of this pic
ture, every penny goes to help ouI
country down the German spy sys-
tenn. So for your country's sake, &C
to the movies once on Sunday tc
help her las long as we can't show il
on a week day.. Every other city il
the United States will turn in its pro,
; ceeds from this picture and surely
, Ocala's name will not be omitted. The
! picture will probably be run on the
:, afternoon of the 28th of October Of
the 4th of November, and the price
will be 25 cents for all.

Queen Mothers GIFT Bible.

Upon one of his Journeys during the
Antarctic expedition Sir Ernest Shack
Teton was obliged to reduce his lug
gage to the smallest possible amount.
He states that up to this point the
Bible given by Queen Alexandra to the
ships library (provided by the British
and Foreign Sailors society had been
carried with the party. In leaving
other things behind 1t was decided
with reluctance that this also must be
abandoned.
AS the Bible contained on its fly leaf
message written by Queen Alexan-
dra, the fly leaf was cut out, also the
page containing the Twenty-third
psalm, and the chapter in the Book of
Job which speaks of the sea being fro
zen. These three pages were carried
to the end of the journey and brought
back to this country.
Sir Ernest has promised to present
the three pages to the society to be
sold on behalf Of it's funds.
