Saturday evening. Captain Horan's team
was a shade the better in the first haf
and managed to secure lead that coul

Second half was by far the more eXcit-

final whistle blew. The ball was con-

this half.

In his speech at Mount Vernon on
the Fourth Mr.. Wilson has indicated
to the people of the earth reign of
freedom such as the world has never
known. Yet it is the simplest and
most obvious thing in the world that
they should have it. He indicates a
state Of affairs in which Belgium may
live as free from fear of foreign in
reference as America. A world, in
fact, like q well governed city, in
which every citizen is protected by
law which he is aware of without
feeling or seeing it unless he or some
other citizen breaks tia law that
protects the weak without laying UNI
just restriction on the strong. And
what does Germany want? A world
in which she shall rule without re-
gard to the feelings or rights Of
others. But the Germans will never
have. the world they want unless they
find it on the other side Of hell.

into effect q number Of economies. On

be returned; sample or free promo

advertisers are to be permitted but

to be discontinued; copies are not to

resented at the Cooter Pond picnic
yesterday by Mrs. E. A. Osborne,

made most touching and beautiful
appeal for the soldier and sailor boys
who have no mothers nor sisters to
write to them Mrs. Bridges has a
wonderfully sweet personality and as
she spoke from the depths of her
mother heart" in behalf of these lad
dies there were tears in many eyes.
At the close of her address, the w. C.
r. u. women passed through the
crowd and nearly 100 names were
taken by men, women and young la
dies, these promising to write letters
and in any way possible add to the
cheer and comfort of the boys The
w. c. T. u. as an organization is
leaving nothing undone in the way of
war work. The members will be
found busy in every Red Cross room,
selling Liberty Bonds or war savings
and thrift stamps, helping in every
way that presents itself. At the noon

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's
early light
What SO proudly we hailed at the
twilight's last cleaning?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
thro' tha clouds of the fight
Ger the ramparts we watched, were
so CALAMITY streaming!
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our
flag was still there!
Chorus
Oh! say, does that star spangled BAN
ner yet wave,
Over the land of the free and the
home of the brave?

The Star finds itself unable to APP
prove of the ordinance introduced be-
fore the city council to prohibit pool
and billiard rooms in Ocala. Pool
rooms, generally speaking. have an:
evil repute, on account of being usu-
ally hang -outs for loafers, and some
times criminals. Ocala, however, has.
only two pool rooms, and we have the
word Of the city marshal for it that
they are both quiet and orderly. It
would, IN our opinion, be a disadvant-
age to the town to have the Arcade,
the white pool room, closed. Pool,
in itself, is not demoralizing game; ;
on the contrary, it is one in which re-
spectacle men find reasonable and
healthy recreation. "A good many of
the visitors to the city drop in at the
Arcade for q few games, and If it was
Ishut up they would lose one Of the
| few remaining places of amusement
they have to go to- We don't play
lpool, but we are often in the Arcade,
and can testify that it is not patroniz-
ed by the loafer class. It pays the city
