weight and power of the government
was behind him in his efforts to in
crease his business. On the other
hand, in America, business men have
been terrorized, almost into inaction,
by constant prosecution. What was a
crime in one part of the United
States under one circuit court of ap-
peals was a perfectly legitimate act
in another. If we have to meet the
intense competition of Germany after
the war, we have got to view all these
business problems from new angles"

CLEANUP WEEK

Mrs. C. w. Hunter, chairman of the
civics committee of the Woman's
Club, asks the Star to try to impress
on the people that next week is clean
up week in Ocala, and that the town
should be set in order.
Ocala is not such an untidy town,
nevertheless there are many places in
it that look decidedly frowsy and run
down at the heel The Star hopes
that the city government and the
people will cooperate with the Wom-
ans Club so by Nov. IL we will have
one of the neatest towns in Florida.

COMPANY A TRUCK FUND

The contributions by Mrs. Tydings
and Mr.. Wenzel have given Company
AS truck fund little boost, but the
amount now totals only 5000, lit
tie over 10 per cent of the sum need
ed. We are considerably disappoint-
ed over this movement. We wanted
to be able to hand the boys their
truck before Thanksgiving Day., but
we may not be able to do so by
Christmas.
We make special appeal to our
county friends to help on this fund.
If they will look over the list so far,
they will see that all but one contri-
button has been made in the city.
Ocala loves Company A and viii do
all possible for it, but the truth is
that the contributing part of our
town has been heavily taxed. Most
of those on the short list of givers
to the truck fund have contributed
time and again to the different funds
for the army and navy, and they have
before them today two more calls, one
from the Red Cross and one from the
Y. NJ. C. A., each of which is helping
our own Marion county boys as much
as any other soldiers. So we will ask
the country folks to turn in and make
a special effort to help on the truck
fund, and help at once. Most of the
boys are from the country, and their
relations and friends should come in
strong on this fund. 1t is easy for
the country families of Marion coun-
ty to raise four hundred dollars. The
country churches could raise it in one
Sunday for foreign missions, and
they could raise it for their own sons
and brothers, and not half try.
If we do not receive more hearty
response in the next ten days, we will
give up the attempt, and return to,
our friends the money they have sent.
Tampa, Plant City, Lakeland and Or
lando have provided their companies
with trucks, and Marion county is
just as we'll able to do so as any, of
them.
We had better be as good as posi-
BILE to these boys. They are going to
France in few months, and some Of
them, perhaps many of them, will
never return. Let US do all we can
for them now, so that our regrets
will be the fewer when the struggle
is over.

In her letter in the Woman's Club
department of the Star, Mrs. w. Z.
Gary, president of the Ocala Wom-
ans Club, makes the following very
appropriate remarks: cit has been
suggested that clubs wage a war
against the transportation of food by
servants from the pantries of their
employers to their own. It is said
that this is one of the causes of the
shortage in male labor. If the male
members of these families can live
on the foraging of their females, why
work? There are laws in some towns
against this and wherever these exist
we should see that. they are enforc-
ed"
Mrs. Gary's suggestion should be
needed not only in this territory, but
all over the country. We have reason
to believe Ocala is less afflicted in
this regard than many other towns,
nevertheless we have many idle ne
groes living on the work of their
women folks, who are servants in the
households of white people. At the
same time, our farmers can't obtain
enough labor to cultivate and harvest
their crops. A concerted effort should
be made by white people and indus
trious negroes to put an end TO this
nuisance. The world has come to
that place in the road where a man
who can work and won't has no right
to live
