DO NOT WASTE MILK.

AS a matter of conservation and to
encourage the dairy industry Of Arizo-
IA the Food Administration is encour-
aging the use Of milk as a substantial
article of diet.
There is an abundance of milk at
this season Of the year, 1t is pointed
out, and not drop of it should be
wasted. It should be made into cot
tage cheese. Cottage cheese is as
much food as beefsteak and is not
merely a relish. Here is one way to
make it:
Heat one quart Of sour milk to 100
degrees, duke warm) and turn into q
strainer lined with cheesecloth. Pour
over one quart hot water. and as soon
as water has drained through, pour
over another quart. then repeat
Gather cheesecloth around curd to
form bag, and let hang until curd is
free from whey. Moisten with melted
butter and heavy cream, and salt to
suit taste. Shape into small balls.

WORLD SHORTAGE
IN Beet SUGAR.
Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War sverage-cen-
traI Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE sUetR is ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls one-thIrd
In Hisid War Economy
Practlced.

TIE world today is producing forty
PEI cent less beet sugar than the pre-
var average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, as well as the
neutrals, the U. s. Food Administra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop Of
1917-191S is at least three and q half
million tons.
That the 1917-191S crop Of cane sug-
ar was two million tons In excess Of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage
Cuba and Java produce one-half Of
the world cane crop. and the lava sug-
ar is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces In France.
In Java a large part Of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
It requires $50 to 100 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the possibili-
ties Of obtaining adequate shipments
Of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as group.
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less BY one-third than the
prewar average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
yield of beet sugar is now only 29.1
per cent. Of the pre-war average.
For the hve years preceding the out
break Of hostilities in Europe. France
produced an average Of 752.542 tons of
sugar each year. For 1e17-l8 the
French production was 219,416 tons.
with 81 factories operating, az CON-
pared with more than 200 that were
In existence before the war and before
the general campaign Of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu.
facture more beet sugar in 1917-1S
than In 1851, when the total OUTPUT
was 202.415 tons.
Italy In 1918 produced 1o0soo
tons Of beet sugar, which was 5000
tons less than the previous year and
11O.250 less than the annual output Of
sugar for the i've year pre-war Pc
riod.
One of the great difficulties expert.
enced in Italy's beet sugar industry
was finding sufficient labor to handle
the crop. Thousands Of men usually
employed 10 beet sugar production
were called for military service. The
yield per acre amounted to approx
mately half Of the usual quantity Of
Seets harvested.

school teachers as well as the SOL

ment that the "nigger" brakeman
earns his money without effort shows
you are not acquainted with the sub
ject. A brakeman's work calls for
strength and skill and also d consid-
cradle amount of courage. As for the
fancy silk stockings and gold orna-
ments, we never yet saw white mer-
chant who wasn't willing to sell such
things to darkey who had the mon
ey. And the brakeman's prosperity is
only ephemeral, while the teachers
pay is certain to increase.
Your local option stuff about that
ten-mill school tax sounds fine, but
don't you fool yourself If the amend
ment is adopted by the state, the peo-

spend it, too, just like they please; in

MR.. LANE hEcoMEs MILDER

B. B. Lane, chairman of the educa-
tional autocracy, is very anxious to
have some of his literary effusions in
the Star. He has sent US three or
four patches of copy with request to
print, and we refused, because we
were already giving the local apostle
of increased taxation as much space
as he asked for. Yesterday, we re-
ceived from Mr.. Lane letter which
he demanded" we print, and limited
darkly at legal proceedings if we
didn't.
We didn't.
We also wired Mr.. Lane that the
Star didn't print anything for any
body on demand"
Finding his bluff didn't work, Mr..
Lane meekened. Last night we re-
ceived from him the following tele-
gram:
Fort Lauderdale. Oct. 81.
To the Ocala Star:
/ respectfully request change of
the word demand" to request" in
the third and fifth paragraphs. of my
letter. Will you, print ? B. B. Lane.
There is nothing in Mr.. Lanes let
ter except misstatements and stuff
we have already confuted, but since
he said please" we will be good to
him and print it. It will appear to-
morrow.
Mr. Lane sent the same letter to
the Banner, the proprietor of which
paper informs the Star he will not
publish it unless it is paid for at regu-
lar advertising rates. He is strictly
within his rights in doing so. Candi-
dates for Office have to pay for all the
space they use, and when one partic-
ular class of our population advocates
a measure for it's own benefit, it
should pay the bill. If the Star had
refused to say word on either side
in this campaign, and demanded pay
for everything other people wrote on
it, it could have made some money.

Ocala had an unique Halloween.
Nearly all the boys being in the army
o. navy, the girls took charge. They
were out in force last evening, all dis
guised, about half of them as boys,
and for Several hours they made the
town lively, parading up and down or
riding in cars around the square and
thru the principal streets. They sure
ly had one good time, and it was
very pleasant to watch them. So far
as the Star knows, they did not carry
of any gates, change signs or tie
clotheslines to doorknobs. The Star
wouldn't tell on them if it knew.
There is strong reason to believe that
a bunch of our society bellies carried

rlngton corner up the street in front
Of the Temple theater, but each one
or them has at least two alibis, SO
there is no use in calling them into

him all over town. Somebody rang
