GOOD NEWS FOR TEACHERS

Last night we wrote the following
editorial expression:
Eve think that if the board of pub
lie instruction would make a great
effort and trust to the Lord, it could
give Marion county teachers a little
more money"
This morning, we ran across the
following information:
The county school board realizes
raise them. But the board is restricted
in the amount of money it has to ex-
pend, with no power to increases taxes
and an average of two calls for every
dollar.
At the regular meeting in July, the
board will make up its budget for the
year. At that time, it will estimate
how much money it will have and
figure out its expenses, among them
the salaries of teachers, which it can
not increase or decrease after that
time.
We understand that the board will
not order any new buildings next year,
nor any repairs nor new furniture,
except what is absolutely necessary.
We understand it will also cut the
domestic science course out of those
schools that now have it. All the
money saved in this manner is to be
added to teachers salaries.
We are informed that the board
thinks that what raises in salaries it
is able to make should go to the least
paid teachers-those receiving $50 a
month. This is obvious justice, for
those teachers receiving $40 can't pay
their expenses unless they live at
home.
We think the people as well as the
teachers will greatly approve this
policy of the board.

BELLEVIEW

Belleview, June 5.-Last week we
made the statement that Freeman
Hames would be the first Belleview
a slip. Raymond Gale has been in
France doing service for months and
to him belongs the honor of being the
first Belleview boy to see service in
France. Freeman Hames will make
a good second with more to follow.
Mr.. Tremere is having lots of fun
trying to boost enlistments in the
navy and army. Some time ago he
made several trips to town to try and
get Leo Hames in the navy, the army
or the national guard. Leo couldn't
get in on account of a game eye, but
between them they busted a tire and
tube to smithereens. His next at
tempt was to land Herman Smith in
the navy as machinist. Herman was
willing and had stood couple of pre-
lirninary examinations and was to go
up to stand a final test one Tuesday
morning, so in the going Miss Minnie
Tremere tried to drive over stump
and the stump resented the attack by
tearing the steering gear clear out of
the car. That busted all the good
resolutions and Herman did not go in
the navy. Herman Rothschild had
great hopes and aspirations to enter
the navy, the army, the flying corps
or anything that would get him across
and into the fun the quickest and
shortest route So, with Leo Hames
at the wheel, Mr.. Tremere started out
for Ocala to crafty Herman's pat
riotic ambition. Leo entered into the
spirit of the occasion and ran the
wheeled frame so fast that the lubri-
eating oil could not find time to catch
up and lubricate so that all the en-
CINE bearings were reduced to nice
fine black powder, and when they
reached the recruiting Office he had
more bad news. He told Herman that
he could not enlist in his branch of
the service until he had registered on
the 9Th day of June, like all other
good little boys coming of age since
June 9Th, 1917.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. c. Doolittle and
Miss Reed left last Sunday for Short
Beach, Conn, on the limited express.

ALMOST HUMAN'-NOT QUITE

Crews of vessels sunk off the Jersey
coast recently were amazed to find
submarine crews "almost human"
Possibly it is in the very air that sur
rounds this splendid country of liberty

Before writing this almost at

Times-Union editor should have read
the following dispatch on the first
page of his paper. Setting women and
children adrift in open boats hun
dreds of miles from land is an act no
American naval officer has ever been
guilty of:
Atlantic City, N. j., June A.
Twenty eight survivors of the New
York and Porto Rico liner Carolina,
which was sunk by German subma-
rine Sunday evening, were recovering
here tonight after forty hours in the
battered boat from which they landed
this afternoon. The women were suf-
fering from hunger and thirst as they
had only little water and few bis
cults during the time they were at
sea. None was in serious condition,
however. Mrs. P. J. Hamilton, wife
of Chief Justice Hamilton, of the
Porto Rico supreme court, and Miss
Charlotte Hamilton, her daughter,
were among the saved. The boat, COM
manded by Chief Engineer McLaren,
landed at the foot of South Carolina
avenue. The exhausted passengers
were lifted bodily from their seats
and carried to an emergency hospi-
tai on the sands. Women and girls
among the survivors were unable to
stand. Some of them were attired in
rough blue overalls and jumpers Dor
rowed from the crew. The hair
streaked across their faces was pIas-
tered down by the mixture of salt and
water used on their foreheads in an
effort to revive them when they faint
ed. One woman, about thirty years
old, tainted as life guard lifted her
tenderly from the yawl."

Dear Sir: Realizing that so many of
the farms throughout Belgium and
Northern France have been utterly
ruined by Gerban barbarism, and that
it viii be years, if ever, before they
may be brought back to former fruit
fitness, and that in the meantime
the people of these stricken lands
must be looked after and provided for
either at home or in America, | am
writing you. l note that several plans
are being made to locate groups of
these people in different sections of
this state. Now, as you know, | am
not in the real estate business, nor
have an acre to sell; yet | am living
in one of the most productive counties
in Florida, and where the land is
actually cheaper than in any other
section that compares with it IN fer
tility, as you also know. Now, my idea
is this, to ask you to put me in touch
with the Belgian or French legation
in Washington, so that / may find if
there are any of their people that are
planning to come to Florida, and if
so, / want them to consider what is
here in Sumter county for them. 1t
would be good for the Belgians OF
French, and it would be good for our
own people to have this splendid type
of foreigners amongst US. To me,
personally, there is a mighty call to
help the French, for my mother was
daughter of La Belle France, and |
learned French before | learned Eng
fish; so this chance to help France
and her people has double claim on
me, and hope to help both my native
land and my mothers at the same
time, by some act. am in position
to know the land around here, to put
these people in touch with parties
owning lands-such as are suitable
for fruit growing, trucking and staple
crops, and the deals would be directly
with the owners. | hope this plan ma
terializes, so that | too, may feel that
I have done something for humanity,
other than give to the Red Cross and
purchasing what Liberty Bonds /
may. Yours very truly,

Hon. D. U. Fletcher, Washington:
Dear Mr.. Senator: Answering the
letter of Mr.. Huber enclosed in yours
and which I return herewith, I beg TO
say that it has not come to my knowl-
edge that any of our farmers intend
to emigrate, nor does my govern
ment intend to encourage them to
leave our country. We shall need all
our population, and if it is true, as
your correspondent states, that Flor
ida offers much more fertile land than
the ravaged parts of France, still
those parts are, for most men, their
own country, and their attachment to
it is easy understood.
Inone the less appreciate the
friendly sentiment which inspired Mr..
Huber, and I beg you to believe me,
my dear Mr.. Senator,
Sincerely yours,

An observing friend asks the Star
to demonstrate against the too lavish
wearing of service buttons. She, as
well as others, has observed that
many people are wearing them who
have no right to. As we understand
it, parents may wear service buttons
for their sons, daughters for their
fathers, sisters for their brothers,
wives for their husbands and girls
for their fiances. No one has right
to wear button just for friend. If
the use of the symbol becomes indis-
eliminate, it will lose its merit, and
those really entitled to wear it will
not do so.

A cantankerous friend of ours
wants to know why it is when some
poor chump doesn't ante for liberty
bonds or the Red Cross, he is jumped
on and ostracised, while If a rich
person doesn't, he or she goes on hav-
ing friends, just the same. We don't
know, unless it is that our little town
is just like other towns. However,
the people are warming up, and it's
only matter of time before the
slackers, the pacifsts and the copper
heads will be Stunned and shut off in
society and business. There are sew
eral around here who had better get
in line while the getting is good.

Observance of lowering the flag has
been in effect in Ocala for almost two
weeks, and is proving itself a timely
reminder. Nearly everybody pays
attention to it, and the few who do
not are governed by forgetfulness
rather than disrespect. There are
two or three old copperheads, how
ever, who take pleasure in setting the
custom at naught. They are going to
receive some rude jolts the first thing
they know. If one of them finds him
self in recorders court for a lecture,
people are going to read about it in
the Star.
