Friday, May Is, 1917.

Early today the stars are in benenc
aspect, but later II Is well to be careful.
In the morning Mercury. the Sun and
Jupiter are friendly and in the after
noon Saturn rules strongly for evil.
It Is a day in which to be careful.
Contracts have a fairly promising sign.
but II Is wise to delay the signing OF
important papers.
Advertising and publicity come under
a head that should bring large benefits.
The stars appear to presaBe much ex-
citement over newspapers and govern
ment officials who come in contact with
the press or have jurisdiction over cor
respondents. Gossip and even scandals
are indicated.
Sensational incidents, in which news
papers are concerned, are foreshadowed,
but honors will come to editors and pub
fishers.
On this day Saturn Is in sinister power,
making for hindrances, reversals, delays
and nerve-racking experiences.
Under this rule it Is wise to abstain
from flesh foods and to take care OF
the digestion. Stomach troubles and
fevers may be extraordinarily prevalent
during the summer.
Theaters have the representation OF
widespread changes that benefit actors
more than managers. During the sum-
mer players win find many new avenues
Of activity. They have the prognostica-
ton that they will win supreme respect
as citizens and patriots through some
concerted movement as we'll as by IN
dividual heroism.
Canada has the forecast of a season
OF great activity. in which Il will aid the
United States, but danger of a serious
misunderstanding Is foreseen by the as
trologers.
A period OF depression of health may
disturb many persons, especially those
Fast middle age.
Heat and humidity will mark the COM
ing summer. in all probability, and ref
uge in the mountains or by the sea will
be more necessary than usual for city
residents.
Persons whose birthdate II is may have
q troublesome year with disappointments
in the family. They should beware OF
false friends.
Children born on this day may have
many vicissitudes in life. Though likely
to be gifted and clever. these subjects
Of Gemini often meet with many reverses
IN iife.

DON'T FOOL
WITH DYNAMITE
Penalty will be Heavy for Having
Explosives in Your
Possession
Especial to the Starr

Washington, Nov. 12.-Any per-
son in the United States found with
explosives in his possession after
Nov. Is, and who does not have a IL
cense issued by the federal govern
ment showing the purpose for what
the explosives are to be used, will at
once be arrested and fined up to
$4,000 or sent to prison for one year.
1t the circumstances warrant, the
person may be fined $4,000 and i'm ad-
dition given the one year in prison.
The purchaser of dynamite, in OBJ
tanning license, must state definite
ly what the explosive is to be used
for and will be held accountable fol-
its use as stated and the return of
any explosives that may be left.
With the strict enforcement of this
law, the federal authorities hope to
prevent explosives falling into the
hands of evily-disposed persons and
to put stop to all further dynamite
plots.

government takes good care of the
soldiers and sailors, but in war times
the men must be given entertainment
by the people back home. This can be
done during the present war through

Florida the drive started Sunday
Sunday morning with special sermons
by ever one thousand preachers. This
morning the vast machinery which
has been perfected during the past
few weeks began scientific canvass
of the entire state for funds. The sum
of 100000 must be raised in Florida.
There are 5000 Florida soldiers in
the field, the people of this state are
asked to give 800, 900, thus it can be
seen that each Florida soldier would
receive $3.50 were the money to be
divided between the men. Is not a
Florida soldier worth at least that
sum to the people of this great state?

TWELVE-FIFTY APIECE
FOR OUR OWN MEN

There are thousands of reasons why

is to be raised next week by the Y.
M. c. A. for war work But among the
most potent might be mentioned the
fact that this money will help the

ing and Christmas. Every man, wom-
an and child in Florida has always
these two great American holidays
all their lives. They do not know
what it would mean not to have a

IL HAD A GOOD SEND-OFF IN
OCALA
The meeting in favor of the Y. NJ

day evening, was another proof that
Ocala is loyal town.
It's true we have pro-Teutons, anti
Americans and slackers among US,
but if every community was as loyal
as Ocala, we should have a loyal ma
ton indeed.
The Temple was filled, upstairs and
| down, with the best people of the
city. Few families, comparatively,
| were unrepresented. Not a vacant
seat was down stairs. A number of
colored people were present in their
section.
Rev. Bunyan Stephens, who presid-
ed, made an appropriate opening ad-
dress. He was followed with good
talks by Revs. Herndon, Wyatt, Ott-
mann, Gross and Messrs. Frank Gates
and w. T. Gary. The feeling of the
audience was most emphatically
shown when Mr.. Gary in pointed
words denounced the disloyal.
We would be glad if we could give
all these excellent addresses, but as
we have neither room nor typesetting
force, we shall have to let them pass.
1nterspersed with the speeches were
songs rendered by Mrs. Ottmann,
Mrs. Coin, Miss Marguerite Porter,
Messrs. G. A. Nash, Albert Gerig, C.

Miss Mary Gates acted as pianist.
