BAND OF GYPsIEs

A band of gypsies are camped out
on the South River Road, short dis
lance from Annapolis.
Men, women and children OF the
Nomadic tribe are accustomed to pitch
their tents in this section every year,
about this time. and ply their trade
of fortune-telling to those who desire
to. in this way, lift the veil that hides
the future.
Some one has said:
Gods plans, like lilies, pure and white
unfold;
l would not tear the close shut
leaves apart,
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold"

BAN ON "OVERSEA" CAPS
Soldiers. With Certain Exceptions,
Forbidden Them i'm United States

The wearing of oversee" caps in
the United States is prohibited in a
bulletin just published by the War
Department An exception is made,
however, in the case of officers and
men about 10 embark for service
abroad and those just returned from
such duty. In those cases, however,
the oversee" caps may be worn while
at the port of embarkation only En-
listed men returning from abroad are
required to turn in their caps to the
port quartermaster. who will issue
service hats in lieu thereof
The official reason given for this ac-
ton is that the caps in question are
part of the uniform of the British
army and not part of the uniform of
the soldiers of the United States. They
are worn in Europe by special permits
sion given by Gen. Pershing, COM
manding the American expeditionary
forces.

TURNED OVER TO DRAFT BOARD

Officer Lowman arrested Hans NJ.
Johnson, Norwegian, employed on
work at the Naval Academy, who was
turned over to the local Draft Board.
Johnson is said to have registered
for the select draft on June 5, 1917, at
Freeport, III. He came here to work,
and the Freeport Draft Board notified
the local police Of his Whereabouts.
The case is being considered by the
Draft Board. Johnson was
arrested Saturday night, but the gem
eral opinion at police headquarters,
is that the man is innocent of any
wrong intention, since he is said to
have notified the Freeport Draft Board
of his address in this city.

Soldiers Appreciation.

Recently a woman well known in
America, who has devoted all her
time to relief work since the war be-
gan, was visiting a hospital. The COM
handing officer had sent a military
car for her. She entered the car just
as an ambulance filled with wounded
passed by. AS she noticed the thin,
pale faces, tears came into her eyes.
The soldier-chauffeur asked If she
was i'll.
"No." she said, ''these are tears Of
gratitude and pride"
Madame" replied the boy, simply,
'if thought that my being a soldier
was worthy of but one of your tears,
I should feel that had not lived In
vain. Red Cross Magazine.

SHEEP-KILLING DOGS

Editor Star: Your aid. editorially,
has been recently requested by me
but you've not "come across" $50 to
it," and the writer will shoulder arms
for you. I'm referring to sheep cul-
ture, and the prowling foes of this
very necessary and profitable indus
try.
Messages come in daily of the kill
ing and mutilation of sheep by vaga-
bondish ours. Listen: Ours must go
if sheep are TO come and stay. Which
shall it be? Is the lamb, creature
which yields warm raiment and de-
lectable food not to be more priced
than the roaming, sheep-killing mon
grels which breed f1eas, fuses and
are used by some in stealing sheep,
goats and hogs? What shall the an
swer be?
The pleas of the promoters of live
stock industries in Florida have been
ignored, thereby resulting in the loss
of millions of dollars to our state.
The inducement to sheep raising is
strong, as not America alone but the
whole world is gravely in need of wool
and will be for many years.
Notwithstanding the thousands of
idle acres exceptionally suited to the
industry, there is a gradual decline in
the number of sheep which if proper
ly protected would add beyond COM
putation to the states productiveness
and wealth.
Open threats of reprisals by owners
of sheep-killing ours are not uncom-
mon here ever with their knowledge
that it is an actual occurrence.
S. II. Bitch.
DIR. Bitch does not read his Star
carefully. Two or three times since
he spoke to us, we have quite forcib-
ly expressed our opinion of men whG
keep sheep-killing dogs. It's our
opinion that if DR.. Bitch will report
such people to the federal authori-
ties he will obtain some relief.

COMPULSORY DIPPING

There are two sides to every ques-
ton. In the following, Marion
county stockman gives the negative
side to compulsory dipping.
The time to decide dip or no dip is
drawing nearer and nearer. The date
of the election is not so far away as
it has been and from the way every
thing is moving it doesn't seem that
anybody is interested in any way.
| have been asked what did | think
of the compulsory dipping law and
how | was going to. vote on it. After
careful consideration | have decided
to come out in the open and express
myself. | am stock man in a small
way, not many cattle or hogs, but my
friends and acquaintance combined
have lot of stock of all kinds and
places in the woods of Marion county.
To get this stock together and COM
ply with the compulsory dipping law
that some people are in the act of
imposing upon US is more than small
job. | am compelled to state that it
is next to an impossibility.
My understanding is that the gov
eminent requires cattle to be dipped
every fourteen days for a period of
eight months, and | talked with our
county commissioner from this dis
trict and that is also his understand
ing. | am not saying this is law, for
| haven't seen the law on this mat
ter, but the above is the understand
ing of the stock men in this section.
The expert tick eradicator must have
made this impression on the stock
people as it seems to be general
understanding
| am a law-abiding citizen and be-
lieve in progress and advancement
but | don't see how the stock man of
ordinary means could comply with
the dip rulings according to govern
ment specifications and have time to
make hog and hominy.
In my simple conception of things
| don't consider our county ready for
any such law. We are or ought to be
too busy with other matters to stop
and spend the better portion of our
time dipping. Therefore, l publicly
and emphatically state that / am
against the compulsory dipping law,
and shall vote against such measure,
and / hope my brother stockmen will
vote with me.
| have no objection to voluntary
dipping, in fact, l think that is the
proper thing for US just now, and ]
am, sure if it proves practical and
profitable we will all volunteer.
Respectfully, Jesse S. Williams.

IMPORTANT RED CROSS NOTICE

The Ocala Red Cross Chapter has
just received an urgent appeal from
the government for the conservation
of two metals needed in the prose-
cution OF the war. One is a metal
which can be used merely by conserv-
ing heretofore waste products-this
metal is the homely tin which is used
for so many domestic purposes-the
other is the rarer but equally essen
tial metal of platinum which many
of our members possesses in the
form of jewelry and other articles
that they may be willing to sacrifice
for their country's netds.
Surely one or the other of these
metals can be collected by the Red
Cross members in our town.
We ask our members and the pub
lis generally to keep for US every bit
of tin foil, every empty tube of salve
or tooth paste. every old pewter toy
or vessel of any sort. TIN is made
from these and we MUST HAVE TIN
TO CARRY ON THE WAR.
Platinum we have said lis more
precious but that. too. many of our
members have. We ask the help of
each patriotic citizen; of every store
using tin in any form; of every per-
son willing and anxious to help win
the war.
We cannot use tin cans-they are
tin Sin name only'-but WE CAN
AND WILL USE EVERY OTHER
FORM OF TIN. For further infor-
nation apply to w. P. Preer, Chair
man Conservation Committee.
take or send your tin to the Ma
rion Hardware store, or notify Mr..
Preer, and he will send for it.
