MRS. MOODY

All those who know the Moody, and
these are all in Ocala except those
who have come to the city in the last
dozen years, deeply regret to learn of
the death of Mrs. Eliza Moody, who
passed away at the Lake View hotel
in Leesburg Tuesday.
Mrs. Moody was the widow of good
old DIR. E. p. Moody, who lived and
pfacticed in Ocala for so many years
in the long ago. He and his wife had
a beautiful home on the eastern side
of town, where they brought up a
large family of boys and girls and en-
deared themselves to their neighbors
and friends.
DR.. Moody passed to his reward
years ago. After living in Ocala a
while, his widow removed her home
to Lake Weir, but later went to Lees
burg, where with her surviving
daughter, Miss Lou, she passed hel
remaining days. She is survived also
by six sons, Messrs. Davis, Pearson
Sloman, Make, Dell and j. c. Moody
The remains of Mrs. Moody were
brought to Ocala today, and the fu-
neral services were held at the Meth
odist church, Rev. Smith Hardin of,
ficiating. The remains We're laid tc
rest beside those of DR.. Moody, ir
Evergreen cemetery.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
attended the services in a body. Mrs
Moody was a charter member of the
chapter and was lately made an hon.
orary member. Mrs. Blake, Mrs. C
E. Winston, Mrs. Robert Connor anG
Messrs. G. S. Cullen and J. J. Gerie
sang Mrs. Moody's favorite hymns.
Mrs. Moody had been alarmingly il
for over ten days with pleurisy. The
trouble was greatly aggravated by
the knowledge that her grandson, Mr.
Frank Hyman was one of the crew
of the missing naval collier Cyclops.

CALLS ON THE CANDIDATES

Some of the voters of this section
would like to hear thru the Star from
the candidates for the senate, and
legislature, just how they stand on
the "fence law" / have seen short
piece from Mr.. Howell from which I
am informed he is in favor of passing
a No-Fence Law. Mr.. Crosby, / be-
lieve, opposes passing such a law at
the present time. We would also like
to know of any other measures they
propose to enact. These are times
when our law makers should consider
what would be for the greatest good
to the greatest number of people,
in order that this majority may be
able to render the most efficient SER
vice to our government in this time
of disasters. In regard to this so
called "No-Fence Law,"-should it
be passed at this time, it would be
detrimental to four-fifths of the peo-
pie of the state. The "No-Fence," ad-
vocates must know that the great
majority of the cattle and hogs of the
state are raised on the open range.
II IuSSS range CdLLlS ana mugs were
cut off, we will have about four meat
less days instead of one. For this
reason, if for no other, such a law
would be against the working people
of the towns and country too. For
nearly half of the farmers, their meat
and money, would be cut down fifty
per cent. or more, while of the re-
mainder most of them would not be
affected as they have to keep their
farms fenced anyway, in order to fat
ten, and pasture their hogs and cattle,
so only small proportion would be
benefited, and these go in almost
entirely for truck and cotton farming
and do not try to raise any stock.
Another thing, as l understand, there
is less than one-tenth of the area of
Marion county, also of the state, un-
der cultivation, and were this law
passed, there would be absolutely no
benefit derived from the other nine
tenths of the county or state except
for the hunting, as the great major
ity of the farmers have to fence their
farms anyway; and as the people in
the cities, and small towns, do save
enough on their meat bills in one or
two years, to fence their gardens and
laws. Why pass such a law?

A CORRECTION

In the notice which appeared in
yesterdays Star of the purchase of
the Marion Furniture Company's bus
mess by the Messers. E. C. Jordan, &
Company, The impression may havs
been conveyed that the irm name was
to be changed. The firm of E. c. Jor-
dan & Company has been in existence
for a number of years, Mr.. Wilbur
Smith being the other member of the
company. Mr.. Smith, who has charge
of the undertaking end of the bust
ness will continue with the company
as of yore.
Mr.. Fort did not dispose of his
furniture interests in Crystal River
and will continue to operate there,
though he viii make his home in
Ocala. He will probably enter into
another line of business here, though
he has not yet definitely decided about
it.

WATER INSTEAD Of
OIL AND WOOD
Electric Current from Florida Power
Company Plant Recommended to
Ocala by the U. S. Fuel
Administration
Washington, April Is, 1918

Washington, April Is, 1913.
Mr.. Arthur Williams, Federal Fuel
Administrator for Florida, jack
sonville, Fla.
Dear Mr.. Williams: At the request
of DR.. Garfield, am writing to ask
if you will kindly give consideration to
the power situation at Ocala, Fla.
There is in operation near that point,
hydro-electric plant, whose lines, we
understand, have already been ex-
tended to Ocala. At the same time we
are advised that the city of Ocala
contains fuel-burning plant.
AS you know, we are making stren-
uous efforts to conserve fuel by every
practicable means and one OF the most
important phases of our efforts will
lie in taking advantage of excess
water power wherever such power
may be available. A countrywide
canvass is being made in that direc-
ton. 1t will furthermore be the object
when, for instance, where two plants
are located in a city, as is often the
case, one being of private and one of
municipal ownership, to close down
one or the other, or to interconnect
in, such manner as to throw the lead
one one of the plants so far as it is
possible to do so.
There are a number of cases of
this character in Florida with respect
to which we will communicate with
you at later date. In the meantime,
we are anxious to take hold of cases
of particularly salient character and
to bring about any economy which
may be practicable.
1t is not our object at this time to
issue direct order, but rather to
show the interests in question that
they should get together as a purely
patriotic measure. As you appreciate,
of course, there is just so much fuel
to go around, and it is essential that
this fuel be made to go as far as pos
sible with resulting relief in many
directions.
We would greatly appreciate your
cooperation in this matter and your
advice as to what you feel can be
done. Very truly yours,
u. S. Fuel Administration,
Chas. E. Stuart,
Chief of Division Of Public utilities.

Committee, Fuel Administration,

Dear Sir: / enclose you herewith
copy of letter received this morning
from the chief of division of public
utilities of the U. S. fuel administra-
tion in re the hydro-electric plant near
Ocala. Just at this time to save coal
it would be a patriotic thing if the
city of Ocala would get their lighting,
power, etc., from this hydro-electric
plant and I would like to have you
suggest to me the best way for me to
proceed in order to get the city OF
Ocala to utilize this plant. believe

phecies come to naught. Of course
eve it seems to us that if there were
ever conditions that justified the
hope of ascending prices for cotton,
those conditions are just ahead of US.
If cotton was worth practically 35
cents per pound while half of the civ
ilized world was at war, and hence
half Of the markets of the world IN
a measure closed, then it would seem
that with peace and its readjustmentS
prices should go higher. Now the sea
is open, there are no submarines and
marine insurance is greatly reduced,
thereby greatly reducing the cost Of
the shiment of cotton across the seas.
Undoubtedly more than half Of the
world which has heretofore been our
largest cotton purchasers r nov
short On cotton and much of them on
clothing, these and numerous other
reasons, justify an upward market
and we believe it good business for
our farmers to hold fast to what they
have at least for a while.

OUR CALHOUN NEICHBOR'S
SUGGESTION

On the first page of The Sentinel
appears an article, under the caption
Build a road down the Canal" from
the pen of Hon. Dennis Murphree.
editor of the Dixie Herald, published
at Pittsboro, Calhoun county. The
Sentinel can say to the good people
of Calhoun that Grenada county is in
interested in any proposition that will
make them visit us o~ftener.
1t appears that the proposition
presented by Bro. Murphree is en-
tirely feasible and is one that ought
to appeal to the good judgment and
wise building of the thinking citizen
ship of that county. If there is any
thing that Grenada county needs to
do to connect up with the proposed
road on the canal way, we feel sure
that people viii see that that is
done. Let the enterprise go forard,
1t is good business from many view
points.

DO YOU HEAR THAT
RED CROSS VOICE?

Do you hear that voice which calls
to you to make a Red Cross member?
If you have not you should open
your ears and listen. 1t has the tone
of the still, small voice. 1t is the
voice that pleaded for you to>hear the
cry of distress. 1t is the voice that
pleads for you to aid the sick 1t is
the voice that pleads for you to dress
the wound of the dying soldier. 1t
is the voice that pleads with you to
comfort the sick, far away from home
and perhaps in a strange land. 1t is
the voice that pleads for you to send
others where you are unable to go to
90 some of the work our Savior did.
Will you hear that voice or will you
act the part of those who had ears
to hear yet they would not hear? You
know the fate that befell them.
The country is asked to get every
body to join and pay one dollar for
Red Cross dues. One dollar for each
and every member of the family. Of
course if there are a goodly number
in the household, you have been that
much more greatly blessed and you
should be glad to pay for each ore of
them.

Are you helping the Red Cross
