For the past three days the trains
arriving in Jacksonville have been
from twelve to fourteen hours late.
This is owing to, the fact of the great
numbers of soldiers arriving in Jack
sonville daily, some trains having to
be divided into three sections. An
officer at the union station Saturday
night stated there are now $4,000
men at Camp Johnston. A visitor at
the camp several days ago specially
noted among the hundreds of build
ings vacant spot. Exactly seven
hours later, to their establishment, a
building was entirely completed. The
special building was expected to
arise as if by magic in four hours but
owing to an unavoidable delay of
materials the third hour, and realiz-
ing the feat could not be accomplish
ed, the workmen took their time, and
twas not completed until the seventh
hour.

sheet would have looked better this
year if the price of last August had
not been reduced and held fast, in the
face of partial shortage that prom
ised fair opportunity for 30c sugar
and much increased profits. Mr..
Spreckels, therefore, has reason t.
feel badly. There are other citizens
who will feel the same way, no doubt,
and no doubt can entertain the public
by assaulting the food administration.
While many feel badly, still the vast
majority of men and women of our
business community and of our far
mers are well pleased with our efforts
to save them needless expense"

Claus A. Spreckles, independent
sugar refiner, before the Senate man.
ufacturers' committee, charged that
the food administrator was response
bic for the shortage of sugar and
worked hand in glove with the trust,
which he said controlled nine-tenths
of the output. He also said there was
plenty of sugar and charged the head
of the sugar division of manipulating
prices to his own benefit. The food
administration is taking a voyage Oh
uncharted waters, and is likely to
make mistakes. But it is perfectly
honest, and il it is working with the
trust, it is unconscious of doing so.
One thing is certain, and that is if all
the people would take the advice of
the food administration, to be saving,
helpful and self-denying, they would
be vastly better off.

CAPTAIN H. CURRY CAMPBELL

Ocala is honored and all his friends
are pleased to learn that Curry
Campbell, who enlisted in Company
A as a private and worked his way up
to first lieutenant, will be a captain.
He has been given the command of
Company F (the Wauchula company
of "ours." From what we have heard
the boys of Company A say of their
first lieutenant, we know they will be
sorry to lose this excellent officer,
altho they will rejoice in his promo
ton. AS for as the Star, which has
watched "Curry" with approval since
he was boy in knickerbockers, it
knew he was born soldier and his
promotion only matter of time.

vile, Miss Hester Dewey, our multum
in parvo society editor, is home and
at her desk again, with renewed
strength to fill her very important
part of the Stars work. We have
missed Miss Dewey much but we
should have missed her a great deal
more if those two very bright and
clever young ladies, Miss Ellen
Clarkson and Mrs. J. M. Mcdonald,
had not taken up her work and car
ried it on during her absence. Both
were most efficient and cheerful help
ers and we will always be grateful

vile, which is supposed to reach Day
tona at sis p. m, is practically al
ways from two to four hours late.
Hence, plant to come on an earlier
train.
Everything possible has been done
by local committees and by the citi-
zens of Daytona to take care of big
crowd-two thousand of Florida's
teachers can easily be cared for. IF
anyone is inclined to doubt this, let
him come and see for himself the ex-
tent of Daytona's accommodations
and learn something concerning the
generosity and the courtesy of her
citizens. Recent reports of state
teachers conventions in various parts
of the United States show that thou
sands have attended. Think of the
twelve thousand that attended the
Indiana state convention. Why should
not Florida send two thousand to
Daytona? Everybody in the state
should pull together, and make the
meeting at the "prettiest winter re-
sort in the world" a record breaker
in every respect. Hotels and rooming
houses have made especially low
rates for this occasion. Most rail-
roads are also offering reduced rates.
Plan to come; make strenuous eff
fort to come; comet One can not af-
ford to miss the trip to the beautiful
little city by the sea-pleasure, en-
tertainment, and interesting instruc-
ton are promised all who attend.
Aside from all the good things of
the regular program, there will be
several daily concerts by the famous
Saracina band; a reception at the Pal
metto Club house Immediately after
the program of the first evening; a
banquet on Thursday evening at the
splendid Hotel Despland; and a reg
ular twenty-five bile :"joy ride" Fri
day afternoon. On this automobile
trip, the teachers will enjoy some of
Florida's most beautiful drives and
the far-famed Daytona and Ormond
beach.
Come early, even if you have to
arrive in Daytona on Christmas day
At least plan to reach your desti-
nation not later than the middle of
the afternoon of the 26th. Your one
best Christmas present to yourself
will be this trip to Daytona. Re
member the glad hand Of good fell
lowship and good cheer awaits you.

MRS. JAMES Fl. BADGER

Sunday afternoon at o'clock wit
messed the gathering, at the residence
of Mr.. E. M. Howard, Of a host of
friends and relatives from Ocala and
the surrounding country to pay THEN
last sad respects to the memory of
Mrs. James Fl. Badger, beloved and
highly esteemed member of one of the
pioneer families of Florida. Mrs.
Badger was the only surviving daugh-
ter of the later Col. Cotton Rawls and
his wife who was Miss Colding of
South Carolina. In the early days of
this state, Col. Rawls emigrated from
Screven county, Ca, to Florida and
settled on a large cotton plantation
near the present site of Wacahoota.
During the first Seminole war he
was sent with reinforcementS to aid
the garrison at Fort Clinch on the
Withlacoochee river and by his eff
forts the horde of Indians attacking
the settlers in the vicinity were re-
PEELED. At the close of hostilities,
when peace was restored and the To-
cation of Ocala was contemplated, he
was chosen one of three on the COM
mittee to decide on the site Of the
county seat for Marion county. One
member of this, committee lived at
Lake Weir and was anxious to have
the town situated on the banks of
this beautiful lake, but Col. Rawls
felt it should be more centrally locat-
ed and decided on a location ten miles
from the present site. A compromise
was finally agreed upon and Ocala
was placed nearer Silver Springs
than Lake Weir. At one time Col.
Rawls lived and owned the best part
of Tampa Heights. Practically CIV
ing it away. he returned to the neigh
borhood of his old plantation, where
81 years ago Mrs. Badger was born,
but it having passed into other hands
he settled on the King place then con-
trolled' by Mr.. Frank Mcdonald, the
forefather of the. early promoter of
the F. r. & N. railroad. Here his
daughter, Lora married James Bad
ger in 1873. After their marriage,
they located at the "Oaks." the old
family home of the Badgers. Here
Mr.. Badger and his wife have lived
during the many years of their mar
ried life and from which place Mrs.
Badger was removed last week to the
home of her near relative, Mrs E.
M. Howard in this city, where she
died last Saturday night surrounded
by loving hearts and sorrowing
friends. Mrs. Badger is survived by
her husband, brother, James Rawls
of San Antonio, Texas, who arrived
in the city Sunday morning, the fam
lily of Mrs. Edward Badger, relatives
of Mr.. James Badger, two nephews
whom she raised, a large circle of
relatives and friends all who knew
her only to love her and who will
ever miss the influence of her sweet
spirit and gentle nature in their
midst.

The Tampa Tribune, the st. Peters
burg Times, and probably several
other papers are raising their voices
in indignation because they think
American private soldiers have to
black the shoes of their officers. AS
American officers wear tan shoes;
they would probably resent the effort
of anyone to black them. If the Tri-
bune, Times, ETC.. will take the tron
bic to read the regulations, they will
find that an American private soldier
does not have to polish any shoes but
his own. Sometimes an American Of
ficer employs a private to act as his
servant, but he can't compel him to.
Whenever there. is such an arrange
ment between an officer and private,
it is nobody's business but their own.
