APPRECIATION

Mrs. Crecie Ricard and her daugh-
ter, Eleanor, can't think of words
good enough to express their thanks
to the good people of North Ocala
during the fire which took their house
and almost everything they had. The
fire was so swift it did its work be-
fore anybody could reach the house,
but the many kind words that have
been spoken and the many good deeds
that accompanied them, make us
know the neighbors would if they
could have saved all, and the many
cordial invitations from all sounded
sweet to US. We also thank the men,
bers of the fire department for their
kindness towards US. We will soon
leave these good people for our home
in Madison, but we will always re-
member them no matter how far we
go and we will hope to meet them
again, if not on earth, in heaven.
Crecie Ricard.
Eleanor Ricard.

OLD FAX AND FIGGERS IS
AGAINST THE AMENDMENT

Editor Star: These figures are
mostly taken from the reports of the
state superintendent Of public schools
for the year ending June 30, 1908,
and June 80, 1916.
These figures are used to show the
public why / am working and voting
to defeat the passage of the constitu-
tional amendment permitting school
authorities in the state to increase
the school tax to 10 mills, at the next
election.
The total expenditures mot includ-
ing state colleges) for the year 1908
was S1,564 900, and for the year end
ing 1916, s3,818,0o0, nearly two and
a half times as much.
The cost per person in Marion
county for school purposes for the
year ending 1908 was S2.27, while for
the year ending 1916 it was S6.20-
nearly three times as much.
The cost of the superintendent's
salary, travelling expenses and office
cost in Marion county for the 1908
year was S1.935.57. The budget for
the coming year for the same pur-
poses is, l believe, $500, nearly
twice as much.
The cost per scholar for the whole
state, enrolled for the 1916 year, was
$12.04 and the cost per college scholar
(including summer schools) was $3.50
for the same year. The college scholar
costs more than twelve times as much
as the common school scholar.
The cost per person for United
States governmental expenses for
1916 was about SO; for 1919 it will be
about $72 per person, or eight times
as much.
Voter, is it wise to permit by your
vote an increase in taxes now?
Voter, the schools are now taking
about one-third of the entire cost of
state and county expenses Is it best
for you to vote for more taxes now? ?
Voter, by your vote tell our school
authorities to economic, to cut out
non-essentials in school matters.
In my next I'll show how danger
Gus continual increase of taxes is,
and prove to you that there is plenty
of means provided by law that will
enable the school authorities to have
double the money they now have
without the increase of single mill
| in tax levies. L. S. Light.

CLOTHING FOR THE BELGIANs

The American Red Cross has asked
US to contribute clothing to the Bel
gian sufferers. The word Belgian"
is sufficient to call for our best efforts.
We can never repay Belgium for her
bravery and sacrifice. Their story is
one of national sacrifice and personal
suffering.
They suffered for US. AS an express
sion of our gratitude, we are called
on to furnish them clothes. They
cannot buy clothing in Belgium. They
haven't the money and the clothes are
not there. Their partial comfort is
dependent not upon our generosity,
but our gratitude. Our chapter is
asked to giye at the least 1923 pounds
and all we can over that.
Garments need not be in perfect
condition A hundred thousand des-
titute women in the occupied regions
are eager to earn small livelihood
by repairing gift clothing and making
new garments adapted to needs with
with they are familiar.
Wooden goods Of any kind whatso-
ever are acceptable; soft hats and
caps for all ages and sweaters of any
kind and size. Mems shirts and pa
jamas so worn or shrunken as no
longer serviceable are particularly
welcomed since the material can be
utilized for making children's gar
mentS

offer has caused great dissatisfaction,
that strong military measures have
been taken to support the Bulgarian
front, according to statements from
Sofia via Jassy. 1t is added that a
counter movement has already been
set on foot. (This seems to indicate
that revolution is in progress in
Bulgaria.)
This is the first indication of any
move Of Bulgaria to approach her en-
emies with conciliatory proposals.
News of the premier's desire might
ordinarily be considered in a broad
way to amount to revolutionary act,

of coup d'etat in Sofia.
