The Star requests our business men
to pay particular attention to the no.
tice published elsewhere by Mr.. w. T.
Gary, president of the board of trade.
Mr.. Gary says emphatically that more
encouragement must be given to the
board of trade or it will have to dis
band. The board has struggled along
in the face of difficulties for some
years. Since 1914, it has had the
most meager support. Nevertheless,
it has done good work, and even in
the last few months, when the secre-
tary has been employed by the gov
eminent, and the board has been left
to run itself, several important mat
tiers have been referred to and
handled by the board with an eff
cheney impossible without a board.
Ocala without a board of trade will
to certain extent lose its standing
among Florida cities. Our citizens
should have too much pride to let it
lapse. Let them turn out in force
Friday night and boost the old thing
up and put it on it's feet with renewed
strength TO travel long road. Ocala
doesn't seem to think much of her
board Of trade, but she will miss it if
she lets it die.

The people of Ocala owe vote OF
thanks to Messrs. w. A. Knight, j. M.
Meffert, ]. J. Gerig, III. A. Fausett,
HILBERT Weathers and F. G. B.
Weihe, whose terms as aldermen ex-
pired last night. They have done
faithful and efficient work for the
city, and have taken great deal of
blame for circumstances that were
beyond their control. The Star does
not expect their successors to do any
better work but it hopes they will have
better luck.

LET MISS HARRIS ALONE

Says the Tampa Tribune: 1.-THE
Tribune regrets that the Palm Beach
Post should continue to resent the
borrowing by the government of a
Florida woman, for purpose most
complimentary to the state, to her,
and beneficial to the country. When
the state of Florida loaned Miss Ag-
mes Ellen Harris to the federal gov
eminent to do in other states on a
broader scale than she has been able
to do in Florida, the most excellent
and needed work that she has become
so well known for in the fields of
home economics and domestic train
ing, every man, we supposed, glowed
with pride that this state had The
One Woman who could fill the de.
mand of the country in this line. We
believe the Palm Beach Post is mis-
taken somehow in its real feeling
when it speaks in tones that indicate
its belief that she is unpatriotic in
leaving her home state at this time.
We cannot conceive of higher de.
gree of patriotism than that of an
swering the call of country and CIV
ing ones best and all to its service,
especially when that call and giving
takes the giver away from the pleas
ures and comforts of home. We con.
slider the compliment tc Miss Harris
and to the state so real and sincere
that we would have all the press of
Florida endorse the call that she be
not recalled from her Volunteering

SISTER SUSIE NEEDS
WOOL FOR SOCKS

The Star desires to impress on ev-
erybody in Ocala that our soldiers
need warm, comfortable socks, and
that the Red Cross needs wool for the
same. The proceeds of the card party
at the Woman's Club tomorrow after
noon will go to buy wool for Red
Cross knitters to make into socks. So
go if you can, and if you can't send
the price of admission anyhow 1t
will be good money well spent.
Don't let any American soldier have
cold feet if you can help it.

Editor Benjamin of the Ocala Star,
believes in the straightest kind of dis
cipline in the army and he is undoubt-
eddy right about it. He warns the 400
boys who took French leave from
Camp Wheeler and went home to the
Christmas holidays to be careful of
such conduct in the future, for when
the war department decides to sit
down on them, it is going to sit down
heavily Arcadia News.
Army discipline is absolutely neces-
sary, and it's bad friend of the SOL

We understand that our friend,
Tom Sexton, is slated for the position
of city manager. We daresay Tom is
about as good man as the council
can find for the job. He is a good
business man, well posted on prices

men; moreover, he is an old citizen
and has the interest of Ocala at heart.
Here's hoping him luck.

speaks the sentiment of our soldiers
when it says: "How different soldier

older days of the civil war and other
wars before. Now there is a tendency
to mollycoddle the men in uniform
and treat them as babes in arms, an
attitude that is resented by the men
of the army who feel that they can
take care of themselves. They are, IL.
the main, fine body of fellows and
there is no reason to worry over them
and their morals. They are no more
prone to stray from the straight path
now than when at home; in fact,
many are not so prone as the new
discipline is stricter than at home.
