Just why the public schools do not
teach punctuation, paragraphing,
capitalization and division of words
is a mystery to US, but we doubt if
there has been a graduate of the
high schools of DeSoto county within
the past ten years who could write
a one-page letter with proper pune
tuation, capitalization, paragraphs
and division of words Yet these are
Important. Just one little comma cost
the United States two million dollars
A tariff bill provided that foreign
fruit plants should be admitted

phrase read foreign fruit, plants, !,
and that little comma after the

of duty, and before it could be cor
rected it cost Uncle Sam more than
$2,000,000 in custom revenues.

Well, now, your schools must be on

to was either bribed to do it, or

THE FAIR SHOULD
NOT MISS Al YEAR

The Star hears it said that at the
meeting of the stockholders of the
Marion County Fair Wednesday aft
ernoon motion to suspend the fair
for this year viii be offered.
The Star hopes such move viii
not be made, and If it is it viii not
carry. It would be very bad policy fol
the county and worse for the city If
the fair should suspend year. It
would be a very bad advertisement
for our county, which claims to be
the banner agricultural county of the
state, to suspend its fair. It would be
the blacklist sort of black eye for
Ocala.
IL the fair suspends for one yea1,
it will almost certainly be discon-
tinued for several years. The machin-
cry of the fair association will go to
pieces, and, it will be difficult to re-
assemble it. The buildings and
grounds will deteriorate and some of
the latter will go TO rack and ruin.
The country people. viii be very
much discouraged If the fair is dis
continued. Last November, our Mar
ion county farmers did their full duty
by the fair. They furnished the great
bulk of the attendance. There was
hardly any attendance from outside
the county, and hundreds of Ocala
people did not attend, and many OF
those who did attend only went once.
On the other hand, hundreds of coun-
try people attended two and three
days in succession, coming from, as
far as the outskirts of the county in
their cars. If there is any fair. they
will come in even greater proportion
this year They should not be disap-
pointed.
There are some splendid workers
for the fair in our city, but a major
ity of the people are apathetic. Many
do not attend any of it except the
races and the amusements, and good
many only the latter which of course
does not add to the fair revenues.
Everybody who can go should go, and
all our business houses and manufac-
tories should make exhibits.
Again we say it will be great
mistake and setback for our town
and county to let the fair miss even
one year. Instead, plans should be
made at once to make it bigger and
better

Secretary McAdoo may not be a
trained railroad man, but his order
that freight trains be run into New
York thru the Hudson river tunnels
shows that he possesses a lot of time
ly good sense. The tunnels have been
used for passenger traffic, and we
suppose it was impossible for a regu-
lar railroad man to understand that
coal and provisions were more i'm
portant to New York than travellers,
who could, moreover, get in and out
over the ferries, while the freight
couldn't.

Representative Frank Clark has
introduced a bill IN Congress to regu-
late salutes in the army. Mr.. Clark's
bill requires soldiers to salute offic-
ers Of only their own organizations
we presume by this he means those
of their own regiments. At present,
it is hardly possible for private to
know all the officers of his own reg
iment by sight, and it would be sew
eraI times as much trouble for him to
pick out the number of the regimen
on the officers uniform as it would
be to go thru the simple movement
Of raising his hand in salute. Be
sides there are many times when the
number of the regiment can't be seen
at all; also, officers are constantly be-
ing transferred from one regiment to
another, and often days pass before
they can change the regimental num-
bers on their uniforms. So, we think,
that Mr.. Clark's bill, if it becomes
law, would make more trouble to the
private soldier than it would save
him. We generally back up Mr..
Clark's measures, as they are mostly
sensible and necessary, but we would
advise him not to press this one We
never heard of a private soldier OBJ
jecting to salute his officer, tho we
have sometimes felt sorry for an of
ficer walking along street crowded
with soldiers and having to return a
salute at every step because, tho
hardly anybody m civil life seems to
be aware of it, every officer in the
army, from the commanding general
down, has to punctiliously return a
private soldiers salute.

drafted man, who died at Camp

camp before he was well enough to
stand the trip back into the cold of
Middle Georgia. We can't help won
dering If the boys home physicians
did not fail somewhat IN their duty.
One of our young soldiers who had
been sick came home from Camp
Wheeler on short furlough recently.
He was not well enough to return
when his furlough expired and over
stayed his leave by couple of
weeks. This was at the orders of his
physician. He had no trouble when
he returned to camp, and we can't
imagine our army authorities de-
manding that any man go back on
duty when a reputable physician
testifes that he is too sick to do SO.
