SOME OF THE BITS YOUR
LIBERTY BOND WILL DO

If you buy a s1OO bond of the
fourth liberty loan you are lending
the United States government enough
money to fed soldier in France a
little more than seven months. Or
you have furnished enough msney TO
give him complete outfit of winter
and summer clothing, including shoes
and stockings, and slicker and over
coat and blankets, with enough left
over to arm him with a good resoIver.
You have done that much to beat
back the Hun.
1t takes $35 more to arm him with
rifle with bayonet on it. and If
you buy a second 500 bond you fur
nish him his rifle and 1000 cartridges
for it; and there will still be enough
of your money left to purchase a
good-sized bomb to throw in a dug
out, or demolish a machine gun to-
gether with the Huns operating it.

FLETCHER WILL VOTE
FOR THE AMENDMENT

Washington, August 3O.-Senator
Duncan U. Fletcher has announced
his intention of. voting for the state
wide prohibition amendment submit
ted by the legislature of Florida in
1917.
CAS- a general rule" said Senator
Fletcher, 81 do not express myself
upon local questions with which /
have absolutely nothing to do in an
official way. My time has been so full
ly occupied by senatorial duties, that
| am unable to give much study to
questions of local policy. But l am a
citizen of Florida. and am privileged
to express myself as much, when my
Judgment dictates and my convictions
demand.
Speaking as a citizen, hope to be
able to return to Florida early in No
vember in order that may vote for
the adoption of the proposed constitu-
tional amendment providing for state
wide prohibition. 1t is unnecessary
to go into any discussion of the evils
of intemperance; every intelligent
person knows them. And / think the
peculiar conditions resulting from the
war, with their influence on the sup
preston of the liquor traffic, are too
well understood to require comments.
'sWhen the existing constitution Of
Florida was adopted, the people saw
fit to delegate to the voters of each
county the right to say whether in
toxicating liquors. wines or beer
should or should not be sold in such
county. All powers of regulating the
traffic, short of actual prohibition,
were reserved by the state, in which
they are inherent, and which has the
right, if the people so desire, of re-
Stunning the powers delegated to the
counties.
Thirty years ago the local option
provision was written into the con-
stitution of Florida as the best prac-
ticable means of promoting temper
ance throughout the state. It has
served it's purpose splendidly, nearly
every county in Florida having out
lawed the liquor traffic under it's pro-
visions. / find nothing in the present
condition and needs of the state, or
any part of it. that consider requires
continuance anywhere within our
borders. 1t is essentially an evil and
the sooner we are rid of it the better
for all concerned.
For these reasons, and without
going into any hackneyed and tire
some diScl1SSion of tho c,,hioof T x,r; ;cb
to put myself on record as a sup
porter of statewide prohibition in
Florida"

SEDITIOUS LITERATURE SEIZE
INTENDS TO STAY WITH US

The Star is glad that the report
circulated that Mr.. R. S. Hall and his
family would take up their residence
in some other place is entirely with
out foundation. A reporter interview
ed Mr.. Hall last night and he stated
emphatically that he had said moth
ing, nor even intimated anything of
the kind.
As one of the states leading busi-
ness men, it means much to have Mr..
Hall register from Ocala, and to have
it known that he chooses our town as
his place of residence. He has wide
spread interests in many southern
states and in many cities larger than
our own he would be sought after as
lending financial strength and as a
man of affairs in the conduct of mu-
nicipal matters he would be recog-
nized as an asset. He is man OF
clear foresight and insight. He is a
man of the people popular, ap-
proachable, genial and generous. He
is cast in large mould-in mind and
soul.
We have had a recent demonstra-
ton of this in his coming into the
presidency of the Marion County
Fair Association. which for years had
been struggling under debt and dis
couragement and by putting his
Shoulder to the wheel' and lending
his personal and financial help, aided
in getting it out of the hole and put
ting it on a firm basis.
Mr.. Hall is not alone prominent
financial figure but represents also a
high type of citizenship. He has a
charming home circle. lovely wife
and four sons, who have been brought
up among US and who doubtless will
succeed their father in all his worthy
enterprises.
Mr.. Hall did not state his plans for
the immediate future but we are glad
to know they do not include any In
tention of removal from our city.

GERMANS WERE DRIVEN
FROM JUV|GNY
Teutons Vainly Employed
Their Usual Tactics
ENEMY UNABLE TO CHECK DAsH|NG ADVANCE Of FRENCH
TANKS AND AMERICAN INFANTRY

With the American Army in
France, Aug. 30-(By the Associated
Press)-Accompanied by a feet of
tanks and covered by heavy artil-
lery barrage. the Americans swept
forward early yesterday against the
German lines that slowly and reluc-
family fell back over Juvigny plateau,
The little operation carried out by
the French and Americans the day
before had been merely preparatory
to this attack which began at seven
o'clock in the morning.
The German positions were shelled
vigorously by heavy guns. mortars,
and light pieces. firing almost point
blank, as well as by long range naval
guns which searched the positions
far and near. And then the infantry
advanced.
Up over the plateau the infantry
men went towards Juvigny and across
the little railroad running north and
south. The Germans Immediately be-
gan to employ the tactics of similar
retreats, leaving their rear defended
by line of machine guns hidden be-
hind every clump of brush, promon-
tory and woods. Only few detach-
ments of infantry were left, the en-
emy again adopting measures calcu-
lated to save the most men possible.
The frontage assigned to the Am
ericans was less than two miles. That
part in which Juvigny is located was
the scene of a dramatic tank drive.
Under the cover of artillery the light
French tanks -fiirted along both sides
of the path up to the little place,
smashing down one machine gun nest
after another. in spite of the employ
ment by the Germans of their new
tank gun, sort of super-Mauser.
This gun is. virtually identical with
the Mauser except that it fires bull
let little more than half an inch in
diameter. This. it is calculated, can
pierce the tank and possible injGre
some vital part Of the engine But
in the path of the advancing ma
chimes there now lie broken or smash
ed into the earth scores of these guns.

MEETING OF FLORIDA
COTTON GROWERS
Summerfield, Fla, Aug. 20.

Summerfield, Fla, Aug. 20.
A meeting of the Middle Florida
Cotton Growers Association was held
here today. The meeting was called
to order by Chairman Il. w. Black
lock.
Mr.. Blackjack explained to those
present that the committee previous
Iy appointed for the purpose of max
ing the constitution and bylaws of
the Middle Florida Cotton Growers
Association, did not act. as the men,
bers thought it unfair to the growers,
they being ginners and buyers, and
they proceeded to appoint the follow
ing executive committee: j. f.. Ham
NETT, chairman. Leesburg; j. II. Will
Jams, Leesburg; Mr.. Todd, Center
Hill; ]. G. Getson, Webster: Walter
Nichols. Summerield; +. C. Beuch-
ler, Anthony.
The meeting of the executive COM
mittee will be held at Leesburg Sept.
3nd, when bylaws and constitution
will be drawn up.
AT this meeting it was the unani-
nous voice of those present to hold
their cotton until the market opens
at what they deem fair price, which
we have every reason to believe will
De 20 cent sor better.
1t has been assured from the war
board that the $4,000 bale sof Egyp-
tian cotton that was allotted to Am
erica for 1918. is practically all in,
and as there is no more of this cotton
allowed to come in. until Jan. fst,
and with the prevailing price of cot
ton goods of the manufacturers, our
Sea Island cotton will. In a very
short time, find a ready market at a
higher price than is now quoted.
Upon investigation, it is found that
the banks are ready to help the farm
ers gather and hold their cotton, so,
with the above assurances of good
prices, it was the sentiment of ali
present that there was no use In sac
rificing the crop, when it would be
only a question of holding it short
while longer, until normal conditions
existed.
As the market for cotton does not
open here until Oct. 1st, and we feel
this year will not be an exception, we
emphasize the above suggestions.

j. F. Hammett, Acting Sec'y.
