A NECESSARY BRANCH
OF EDUCATION

DIR. E. Van Hood wants our school
girls, and incidentally all other girls,
and the older women, too, instructed
in the use of fire arms.
He wants a beginning made by the
school board authorizing Professor
Henderson, military instructor at the
high school, TO instruct the girl pupils
in the use of the rifle and revolver,
beginning with blanks to accustom
them to the noise, how to load, fire
and keep in order the guns, and then
going on to ball cartridges, to teach
craftsmanship. A young lady teacher,
tolerably well acquainted with both
rifle and pistol, has volunteered her
help.
He also wants gun clubs formed all
over the county to instruct women
and girls in the use of guns, and he
incidentally desires to impress on the
men folks the necessity of seeing that
the women folks have arms and am
munition ready to hand.
The Star indorses DIR. Hoods rec
ommendation. The time is here when
it is necessary for every woman to
have the means of defense and the
knowledge of how to use them. A
large proportion of their natural de-
tenders have gone into the army and
navy, and more are going every day.
The suspicion if not the absolute
knowledge that every woman or girl
in her home or out on the streets or
roads particularly the roads-may
have pistol, and knows how to use
it will be the greatest deterrent there
can be to the evildoer who would be
inclined to rob or assault her IL he
was sure she was defenseless.

WILL GARY WILL ENTER
Y. M. c. A. WAR WORK

To the Democratic Voters of Marion
County:
Having been selected by the war
work committee of the Z. M. C. A. for
service with our soldiers, it becomes
necessary for me to withdraw as a
candidate for the legislature
/ wish to express my deep appre-
citation of the many offers of support
which have come to me from all sec
tons of the county. w. T. Gary.
March /, 1918.
The friends of Mr.. Gary hardly
know whether to be glad or sorry of
his decision. Truly, he is one of the
men of whom it can be said he is
needed at home. Ever since the dec
laration of war, he has been busy
helping in Y. M. G. A. work, Red
Cross work, and several little works
of his own, all for the benefit of the
soldiers. He is one of our most eff
Gent business men and a leader in
every undertaking for the good of the
town and county. His friends were
preparing to send him to the legisla-
ture, where such men are urgently
needed.
He is beyond military age, he has
extensive business affairs, he has a
lovely family and beautiful home
he has every inducement as. we'll as
every excuse to stay at home.
But he feels that duty calls him,
and he is one of the men who are
needed at the front as well as az
home. He is soldier by heredity,
inclination and training-for he did
his bit in the Spanish-American war
and no man can be more helpful
than he in the great Y. NJ. C. A. work
of aiding our fighting men.
Our country may be proud that it
has such men.

DRIVE Is DEVELOPING

The "drive" planned by the direc-
tors of the fair board is going for
ward under the earnest work of the
different committees appointed by the
president at the last meeting of the
board
Some of the committees have al
most completed the work in their
territory while others are just begin
ming.
The plan of the board in making
this "drive" is to raise funds to re-
lieve the association of the mortgage
loan (which has ben such a heavy
burden on account of the interest it
was necessary to pay on same each
year, also to make it possible to go
ahead with the fair in the future.
The fair grounds and the fairs are
a valuable asset to Marion county in
many ways, and the president and
secretary, backed by the directors,
feel it their duty to save this worthy
institution for the benefit of the en-
tire county. They do not believe that
the business men and citizens or
Ocala and the county at large are
willing to sacrifice their county fair
and fair property when a few dollars
from each will put the proposition on
firm foundation for future useful
ness as a result of this drive.
The board has already learned that
at least the farmers and business men
of the south part of the county have
the interests of the fair at heart and
are willing to give literally to prove
their loyalty. The secretary, Mr..
Mayo, accompanied by Mr.. J. w. Da-
Wis were assigned to this territory
and out of all their drive report just
one person refusing to contribute.
This is an excellent record, especially
as some of these people gave very
literally. If Ocala and the rest of
the county do as well it will put ev-
erything in good shape.
The following committees will car
ry on the drive in different parts of
the county:
Ocala: r. S. Hall. C. w. Hunter, A.
Tweedy, Nathan Mayo, w. d. earn
and D. E. McIver.
Citra: WI. Crosby and E. L. Wart-
mann.
Mcintosh, Irvine, Fairfield, Flem-
ington and Reddick: L. K. Edwards
and w. NJ, Gist.
Summerfeld, Belleview, Gambler,

an Mayo and j. w. Davis.
Anthony: E. G. Beuchler.
Fort Mccoy: J. S. Grantham.

Burbank: F. M. Chaffee.

receipt of considerable misinforma-
ton. He was informed by a govern
ment official that there are now about
$4,000 German prisoners in the Unit
ed States. The official was either w.
ing or joking. The only German pris-
oners in America are the crews of a
few interned warships and number
of spies, agents, ETC., who have been
sent to Jail or internment camps in
stead of being shot. Probably 1000 in
all, and the government has accom-
modations for them and many more

ment camps.

Paul Kreher did the proper thing
when he decided to keep out of the
plant of the Tampa Shipbuilding &
Engineering CO., but the strong ex-
preston of public opinion, backed by
calls fro massociates, was necessary
to force him to do it.-Tampa Times.
Tampa's exhibition of patriotism
was timely. A similar exhibition is
needed in every town where slackers
or traitors make themselves conspic-

The German torpedo that pierced
the Tuscania also drained from the
American heart the last drop of con-

Sinking the Tuscania was a legiti-
mate act of war, such as our own
navy would commit if it had the OPP
portunity. 1t is for Americans to
avert such things or avenge them,
but not to get hellish about them.

A French general, high in war
councils, declares that the war will
not end until 1919, when the full force
of American arms is to be felt. He
speaks highly of the Americans al
ready in France as resourceful and
willing to profit by the experience of
the French and British. He says not
until America is ready to hurl a huge
offensive of her own men against
Germany will the end be in sight.

when the winter was coming on and
when the sturdy settlers were begin

cold season, real benefactor by the
name Of Ford settled in Watertown
and began to manufacture heavy wool

The brilliant achievements of the

erect a memorial to the memory of
Colonel Heg. Wisconsin had the u

troops ever marched into the South

letters written by him to the adjutant

Of the Wisconsin Historical Society.
They reveal a spirit of genuine loyal
