TERMS OF THE LOAN

Instead of requiring two per cent
cash payment with subscriptions, as
was the ruling for the second loan,

third loan, 20 per cent will then be
due May 28tb, 30 per cent July 18th
and 40 per cent August 18th. The in
stallment payment dates have been
arranged so that none will fall in
June, when the drain on the country's
financial resources will be great on
account of the income and excess
profits tax, which become due June
18th.

bonds will mature in ten years, on
Sept. Is, 1923, the treasury depart
ment announced. and will bear inter

INVESTIGATION
IS IN ORDER
Certain that Some Sort of Change
is Necessary at the Indus
trial School

Twenty-Five of the girl inmates of
the industrial school are locked up in
the county Jail. They are unanimous
in saying that they will stay there un-
til Silver Springs freezes or the pres.
ent superintendent leaves.
After leaving the school Tuesday
night, they scattered all over the ad-
joining country. Some were found this
morning in disreputable house five
miles out in the woods, and be it salo
to the credit of the woman that keeps
the place that she protected as well
as sheltered them. They came to
town quietly with Deputy Grubbs, not
making him any trouble.
In company with Deputy Sheriff
Grubbs, Star reporter went to the
jail about noon. The girls are in the
woman's quarter of the Jail. 1t is well
lighted and we'll ventilated and is not
uncomfortable-for Jail. 1t rather
hurts mans feelings to see bunch
of girls locked up in it.
The girls are not tough-looking
lot at all. They seemed mighty
glad to see Mr. Grubbs and the re-
porter, and almost wore off the lat
ter's only good ear in telling him
their troubles.
They declared that they were badly
treated by the superintendent, but
professed love for Misses Partridge
and Davis, the two teachers who have
just quit.
They made no complaint of their
quarters or treatment, but were evil
IDENTIFY having rather bleak time OF
it, so the Star man supplied them
with soda water and crackers, sta
tionery and reading matter. Mr.
Chalker is kind to them, but Jail is
a Jail. and he has to keep them locked
up and can only give them Jail fare
which several of them declared they
couldn't eat.
The reporter asked Mr.. Chalker il
lunches could be sent to them, and he
replied they could, so the members OF
the Woman's Club will prepare some
good things for them this afternoon.
Public sentiment is considerably
wrought up over the idea of these
girls. some of them mere children, be
ing in jail There is, however, nj
other place for them, unless they vii
promise to stay at the school Th'
sheriff might let them go into privat'
homes, but if he did so he would do j
at his own risk.
1t is evident that some change L
necessary at the school. The Sta
has never joined in criticism of Mrs
Range. 1t has always been aware tina
she had most difficult position t
fill. 1t looks to us like it is impossible
for her to fill it under present condi
tions. The sentiment in Ocala is tina
the state board make different ar
rangements or else move the school
Some of the girls persist in runnini
away, and there is no way to preven
them.
WOman's Club Takes Action
A called meeting of the executiv
board of the Woman's Club was hel
this morning at the club house. In
purpose of this meeting was to inves

The history of the case illustrates how
easily a man may get himself con-
victed of an offense which he di Int
know existed, but one of the laws max
inns is that ignorance of the law eX-
cuses no one. Mr.. and Mrs. Macdonald
had some domestic disagreement and, at
the moment he thought propitious, John
proposed peace terms. He offered 10
make up but Mrs. Macdonald re-
fused. Resources born of experience in
such cases presented themselves, and
he wanted to kiss her to make the bar
gain good, but she maintained refusal
and would not be kissed He kissed her
against her will and in spite of her
struggles, and the next thing John knew
he was in court defending himself
against charge of kissing woman no
thought he had right to kiss, whatever
she thought about it.

his kiss though he couldn't coax her to

SOLDIERS AND BOOKS

From the Cincinnati Times-Star
The quality of reading done by soldiers,
| as related in Gus ]. Karger's Washington
letter of today, is interesting. 1t reveals
that constant striving for mental better
ment which is so characteristic of the
American people. Most of the soldiers
asking for books were not seeking mental
diversion. They were either trying to be-
come more conversant in the grim work
before them or to continue their studies
in the calling they had adopted before
entering the nations service.
The psychology of tho soldier applicant
for books is interesting. We should say
| that the man who asked for TON Saw
yer" and "Huckleberry Finn" told of by
Karger, looks forward to a short and
| dashing war, something to be got over
with in the merriest possible manner
But what of the man who has settled
down to read the six volumes of Boswell S
Life of Johnson" or of the man who
had begun the first volume of the seven
that contain Gibbons Decline and Fall
OF the Roman Empire?' Surely they
are looking forward to long. grim
struggle. And here's hoping that the
| latter witnesses the decline and fall OF
reaches the last line of Gibbon.
