Make Pets OF hornblIIs.

The yellow hornbill, one Of the most
interesting of the species, is COM
paratively fearless bird and is easily
killed. The male is fond of perchlng
on the tiptop of tropical trees and
making a noise like a young puppy.
The natives in Africa find young
hornbills easily tanned. They dig the
birds out of the tree nests when quite
young and raise them on milk and
berries in their huts. When grown
the hornbill remains attached to its
foster parents and will eat out of the
same dishes. Left free, the hornbill
comes and goes much as does a pet
crow and remains about the hut un-
til the first mating season, when 1t
goes away with one Of Its kind, rare
ly to return.

GUS HILLS MINSTRELS

MinstGelsy extraordinary is the
treat held out by Gus Hill's big min
strels who appear at the Temple
this evening.
The foundation of all good COM
panies of this kind is comedy and
singing. If a more capable, more
prominent, more famous comedian in
the. black-faced ranks ever existed
than George Wilson, Gus Hill in his
thirty odd years of managerial exper-
fence never ran across him. And it's
no one else than "Waltz Ne Again, y
who has been selected to head the
humorous department. Mr.. Wilson has
able and capable lieutenants, who
may be expected to give good ac-
count of themselves.
Singers? Did you say singers
This is the way the advance agent of
the troupe answered query recently
put to him. "Well, I've been touring
with minstrel shows for many moons,
and in all my experience have never
known of company with more than
one star vocalist. In our show, we
have John P. Rogers and Jack Nc
Shane, the former by all odds the
best bass soloist that minstrelsy ever
knew. Jack McShane, a robust tenor,
prominently connected for the past
ten years with the best minstrel
troupes travelling, also scarcely needs
introducing. And there are others,
many others"
Of course there are dancers galore,
and they must be real dancers these
days to make good with a show of this
kind.
Altogether, Mr.. Hill promises a
scenic production, that for scientific
and elaborate stage settings, wit,
flashing costumes, and an all-round
absolute completeness, patrons of
minstrelry in 0cala have never seen
the like.

OCALA BUSINESS
MEN, ATTENTION

Very recently the Red Cross chap
ter at Palatka moved its work rooms
to the new club house, which had
been rendered it by the Woman's Club
of that city, and at that time Mr..
Yelverton, the leading furniture
dealer of Palatka, presented the chap
ter with brand new New Home sew
ing machine; the electric light com
pany gave it a new Western electric
machine, and the gas company, not
to be outdone, gave a motor to use
on another machine. Wouldn't it be
nice if something like this could be
done for the Ocala chapter.

In regard to the comparative mer-
its of Tampa and Fernandina for a
shipbuilding plant or any other big
enterprise, the Stars interests and
sympathies are naturally with Tam
pa. Tampa is really closer to Marion
county and more linked to it, and
more congenial to it than any other
Florida city. The truth, however, is
the truth, and the truth can't be gain
sayed that for a war most of the
naval operations of which take place
in the Atlantic, a shipyard is most
available on the Atlantic coast, and
Fernandina is Florida's best Atlantic
port. It has been so recognized for
over century. And the same rule
for truth makes it imperative to say
that Brunswick, Ca, is probably bet
ter adapted for shipyard than Fer
nandina. It has as deep water, and
much more of it, has better facilities
for receiving supplies and would be
easier to defend against an attack.
The location of a shipyard in this war
means more or less loss or saving of
American lives, and that only should
count.

The Tampa Tribune reprints our
remarks about the comparative de-
lenses of Fernandina, Jacksonville

to Fernandina being in our congress

our sincerity. It must measure our
corn in it's own half bushel, and at
tach more Importance to an imagin-
airy line drawn by a gerrymandering
legislature than the Star does. Since
this is the deciding factor, will be
Tribune tell US why we have written
more praise for Tampa than for any
city, except Ocala, in our district
more, we believe, than for any other
city in the state. The Tribune rec
ommends that we study the geogra-
ply of Fernandina, Jacksonville and
Tampa. We began studying those
places just thirty-two years ago, and
we shouldn't be surprised if the sum
total of our personal observation of
the different localities wasn't as great
or greater than that of the Tribune
writer. Certainly, he showed vast ig-
norance of geography, and several
other things, when he assumed that
shipyard at Fernandina would be de-
fenseless against naval attack. Either
he doesn't know anything about the
geography of Fernandina, or as the
Star says, he was just knocking an
other candidate for the pie counter.
The Star hasn't taken any part in the
scramble for government pie. 1t will
be glad to see Tampa obtain any good
thing it deserves, but it doesn't think
its interests will be advanced by one
of its papers making absurd attacks
on other places. And, by the way,
instead of referring to our remarks
about the matter as smoke bombs,
make on account of a district line,
suppose the geographical expert of
the Tribune turns in and disproves
them. We generally give reason for
what we say; let him do the same.

The Christian Science Monitor says:
To-day the riders on the red. black
and the pale horses are riding thru
the world War, famine and death
stare mankind in the face. But the
rider on the white horse is there also,
and those who understand realize that
he has really gone forth conquering
and to conquer. Every man in the
trenches abroad, every man in the
shop, factory or office at home, who
has had the slightest vision of what
the war means, sees in it the oppor-
tunity for learning more of principle.
The beast may become more beastlike
hit that is only bringing him nearer
to his inevitable doom. For out in the
trenches, looking perpetually across
the awful desolation of mo mans
land, men are beginning once more
to find God. And are finding God not
in the emotional excitement of a re-
vivalist meeting, but surrounded by
hell let loose. So that they will be no
more inclined to let go the vision of
truth with the coming of peace than
was Jacob, at the coming of day, to

Ten thousand substitute food ar

many since the war began, according
to statement made in the Berlin

a prominent German food expert. He
mentions as the most striking ex-
amples of successful substitution the
following: artificial butter, eggs, milk,
salad oil, honey, tea, sugar, tobacco
fish, sausage, cheese and caviar. Some
of the substitutes are directly harm
full but others are so good that they
