and the woman were amply identified
at short range, and when confronted
Monday morning at their home by
Editor Trego, the county attorney
and the sheriff, the woman began to
curse Mr.. Trego and tell of the sew
eral kinds of violence that ought to
be perpetrated upon him even unto
the death, and said that if she were
man she would do it.
The three men continued the in
vestigation, and when this paper goes
to the public the blackboard will
again be hung in it's accustomed
place with both messages still read
able, which shows that this office Is
still, as ever, willing to have the pub
lie read the other fellows message
as well as ours. Inside the window
both bottles will appear, and for the
readers information we will say that
one yields the odor Of coal oil and
the other the fragrance of gasoline.
Both were full at about the turn
of the night. Both were emptied
while people slept, but the match was
not applied, tho the visitors were full

There's little vine that's growing,
There's little wind that's blowing;
There are tracks along the alley up

That is left to me a token,
OF the night we didn't have to trip

AUSTRIANS ARE
DEFEATED ON THE
MOUNTAIN FRONT
French Make a Brilliant
Charge on Front of
Nearly Two Miles
and Gain Possession
of Ridge in Ourcq
Valley.

Attacking the Austro-H Hungarian
lines on the Asiago plateau, the Ital-
ians have taken Monte di Valbella,
captured 400 prisoners and have
held it against repeated counter-at-
tacks.
This turn to the offensive came as
surprise to the laymen of the al
lied world, for it was believed that
General Diaz would be content to
hold his lines in the mountains
against a new offensive, intended by
the Austrians and Germans.
Italian attack was not limited to
Monte di Valbella. On the left bank
of the Brenta, they captured the
height of Sasso Rosso, just north of
the village of Valstagna.
These actions may explain the fail
ure of the Italians to pursue the Aus
trians across the Piave, when, on
June 23, the enemy fled from the
west bank with a haste that indicated
something Of decentralization.

Extensive arrangements are under

been impossible to get detailed pro-

will keep open at least part of the

In recent letter to Mrs. T. ]. Had

scribed fighting in the trenches as be-
ing similar to football. "The worst Of
it is the training" he wrote. He has
furnished his relatives with a series

nounced that the structure be built for S1OO Geo.
This will be bridge that will last throughout the ages
The bridge the drama ditch on the Blomeyer

furnished by Scott county, because the drainage ditch
is the line dividing Cape and Scott Counties There
fore, it will cost this township $37 500 to get $4,000
bridge on the Bomeyer road.
If the $500 900 bond issue carries next Tuesday,
the township will have S62 500 to spend the roads
in this township. 1t is proposed to this money
building permanent cuverts and repairing the roads
that have become dilapidated.
This township is unable to spend any money
the roads in this district because all of the available
money is being used to build temporary bridges over
the dtches and these bridges being washed away
rapid they are finished.
If the bond issue Carries the township will be in
position to again improve the roads, but if it loses the
roads must be neglected and will be unable

MILK IN WINTER,

Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not sup

tains the very ingredients that thu

SOME TAX MATTERS

Editor Star: The Tax Assessors
and County Commissioners Associa-
ton met in Jacksonville last Friday
and among other things, requested
the governor to ask the legislature to
pass bill which we prepared and
sent to him, making a fifty per cent
valuation legal assessment and val
idating all previous assessments. The
necessity of such law is so apparent
that we think every sensible member
will vote for it. We agreed on fifty
per cent assessment for 919 and the
same schedule of assessment on live
stock, except sheep, which was raised
from one to two dollars.
/ declined to serve longer and Mr..
Wilson of Volusia was elected presi-
dent of the association.
If Governor Cats can separate
state and county taxes as he proposes
to, he will accomplish what the besr
railroad attorneys have been fighting
for, but have failed to do for many
years, and as it would relieve the
railroads from paying special school,
road and all other county taxes, they
can well afford to make him present
of hundred thousand dollars, but /
don't believe the people of Florida
have/all gone crazy yet.
Yours truly, Alfred Aver.

ENGINE WILL SOON
BE WORKING AGAIN


Mr.. Charles E. Simmons, manager
OF the Ocala Iron Works, informes the
Star that the Skinner engine at the
the electric light plant would in all
probability be in operation by the lat
tel part of this week..
The special pieces of steel ordered
some weeks ago for making parts of
the engine arrived a few days ago,
and Mr.. Simmons has had his force
working on the job almost continu-
ously ever since.
). This will be good news to the peo-
pie, as. while the engines at the old
plant have been doing nobly, they are
not of large enough capacity to carry
the load at the heaviest part of the
evening, and the service is anything
but satisfactory.

LIGHT READING NEEDED

1t will be seen by the following
that quantity of light reading is
needed at once for our returning sol
diers. Will not our people get busy
and help supply the deficiency.
American Library Association,
Library War Service,
Washington, Nov. %, 1918.
To the Ocala Librarian:
We must have gift books for i'm
mediate use.
Every volume that has been donat-
ed to the American Library Associa-
ton and is now stored in public IL
brary should be made available at
once. The flow of gift fiction has
slowed down, and we are unable to
meet the needs of the service.
Our funds must be saved for tech
nical books, books on industries,
trades and vocations.
In the plan of rehabilitation it is
evident that the injured and GONZALES
cent men are to be the first returned
from the other side. This means that
the debarkation hospitals must be
filled with books. The dispatch Of
fees, from which these points normal
ly would be supplied, have no books.
Dispatch office agents at New York,
Brooklyn, Boston and Newport News
declare themselves helpless in the face
of the demand.
Now that we have created conf
dence in our ability to give service,
we must justify the dependence of the
military forces upon it. We can only
do this if you will back us up with all
possible speed in getting your books
to us.
If you have 500 or more good books
ready for shipment, wire us, giving
the nuhmber. In any other case,
write US, giving exact information as
to the number and how soon they
will be ready for shipment. We will
send immediate shipping instructions.
Yours very truly,

CONSERVATION FOR
WORLD RELIEF" IN OCALA

With the signing of the armistice
our nation faces the stupendous prob
lem of feeding 325,O00,0OO people,
where, prior to peace, her problem
was to provide food supplies for only
13O,O00,000. The gigantic task of find
ing food stuffs for hungry Europe de-
wolves upon the food administration.
The only hope of success lies in the
awakening of our people to the trust
that is in their hands and making
conservation a religion to them until
the crisis is past. The success of the
new campaign hinges upon "Conser-
walton Week." December 1 to Z.
Mr.. Clarence Camp, the Marion
county food administrator, has ar
ranged for number of conservation
meetings in this city during the week.
Yesterday in all of the churches of
the city Mr.. Hoover's messages was
read by the ministers, which was the
beginning of the campaign.
Wednesday morning at the Temple
theater at 10 o'clock there will be a
joint meeting of the Marion County
Merchants Association and the food
conservation chairmen of the county.
This meeting will be addressed by Mr..
E. E. McLin, of Orlando, director of
enforcement from the federal food ad-
ministration office, and by Mrs. John
T. Fuller, of Orlando, state food con-
servation chairman. There will also
be local speakers and music. This is
to be an open meeting and the public
is cordially invited to be present on
this occasion. 1t is earnestly hoped
that Mr.. McLin and Mrs. Fuller will
be given large audience Wednesday
as they are coming to Ocala especially
for this meeting and both will have
valuable messages for the people of
Ocala and Marion county.
Thursday night at the Temple the
alter during the regular picture show
