PACK YOUR CHRISTMAS
PRESENTS IMMEDIATELY
FOR THE MEN IN FRANCE

Editor Star: viii you kindly give
the widest publicity to the necessity
of early mailing of packages intend
ed to reach our troops in France by
Christmas and the fact that such
packages must not exceed seven
pounds In weight.
The department advices me that
unless packages intended as Christ
mas presents for the troops in France
are deposited in the postofice on or
before November 18th, it viii not be
possible for them to reach destina-
ton by Christmas.
The department further advises
that on account of the postal regu-
lations in France, packages weighing
more than seven pounds can not be
forwarded by mail.
If you will give these facts wide
publicity it will doubtless be appre-
ciated by your many patrons.

GIRLS BASKET BALL
(Ocaleean Ensign)

The girls are showing a great in
terest in our basketball team this
year, and every practice day more
girls are out than can play at one
time, and the team promises to be a
good one.
We have games scheduled with the
best teams in the state and they are
all "out for Ocala" as the 0cala High
School girls are known all over the
state for their wonderful playing.
Any team trying for the state cham
pionship considers it their duty to
beat our team and they have it yet
to do. For, since there has been a
team from o. H. S., we have lost only
two games and they were to college
teams. We have defeated every high
school team that we have ever played,
and from the work that the girls are
now doing, it looks as though we will
be able to keep up this record.
Although many of our very best
old players are not with US, the new
girls are doing some encouraging
work and if we all keep up the pres.
ent spirit we shall be more than equal
to any team in the state.

Jane Austen.

Andrew Lang's rhyme On the Life
and Letters plague would not apply
to Jane Austen, the centenary Of
whose death we celebrated recently,
says the London Chronicle. Sixty
years passed away before any biog-
raphy of her appeared. Once the BAH
was. set rolling. however, it soon gath
cred force, and the number of Lives
of that most modest Of authoresses
which have appeared since have amply
made up for the previous neglect. So
little did Miss Austen like publicity
that Mr.. Austen-Leigh has told US that
during her lifetime STEW Of her read
ers knew even her name, and none
knew more than her name," and on
her death in 1917 there was no men
ton of her or her writings in any of
the periodicals of the day.

(Ocaleean Ensign

Wednesday night, the spooEs play
ed havoc in our city. On returning
from their frolie, two of the boys wit
messed a sight that they had never
seen before.
Spooks! Spooks Of all kinds dane
ing through the front door, down the
front steps, and out into the dark
shadows.
Both boys wondered, but said moth
ing. On entering their bedroom they
wondered no longer, only stared in
dumb amazement. Was it that they
were in their own room or in some
one else's? Were they seeing things
crooked? One should say yes"
Crooked was no word for it. Their
clothes were mixed and jumbled to-
gether, the pictures and pennants
taken from the walls, and the mat
tress off the bed. Worst of all, their
"girls'" pictures had been greatly
disturbed and now lay disorderly on
the floor.
When the dumb amazement passed
from their countenances, the "spooks'
heard them begin to speak. Not in
the tender, good-natured voices usu-
ally used by Julian and Harold, but
in stern, fierce, gruff growls it poured
out, rather making the "spooks" hap
pier for what they had done.
Harold and Julian were not the
only ones visited by the "spooks. y
Why did Robert come to school with
out his hat and all day long cry for
his lost picture of Sarah? Why did
Mr.. Henderson's nose shine so? THE
"spooks" upset his face powder)
Why was Reuben so sleepy-eyed? (He
had to shake the hot sands of Florida
off the Sheet. Why was Leonard SO
nearly late? (He had to fairly dig a
tunnel to get out of his room). All
of this was caused by the "spooks."
Mr.. Horrell also felt visit of these
sans "spooks," but they did not play
as much havoc with his store as they
did with the rooms Of the o. H. S.
boys. Boys, look out for the reap
pearance of the "spooks" on April L
1918!
