Bring Porkers to Maturity.

regulation from Washington regarding
the marketing of hogs is in line with common
sense For the present it will be required that
pigs be kept in the feed yard until they come to
something approaching maturity. In order to
secure the minimum price based on the $3.50
standard the porker must be above $50 pounds
live weight Falling below this, he goes auto
matically into the "throw-out" classification and
must sell for whatever price such animals bring
The object of this is plain. Immature and I'M
derfed animals are not wanted on the market
when few days or weeks of further feeding
will bring them to maturity and increase the
meat supply by many millions of pounds in the
aggregate. Rush of young animals to the stock
yards has a tendency to force down the price,
and is bad for the raiser. Hog growers who
have an eye to theii best interests will keep
their pigs until they attain respectable proper

RECIPE TO DARKEN

Mr.. Frank Harbaugh of Cincin-

more than forty years, recently
made the following statement:
"Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home, at very little cost,
that will darken gray hair, and make
it soft and glossy. To half pint
of water add 1 ounce bay rum,
small box of Barbo Compound and
u ounce glycerine. These ingred-
tents can be bought at any drug
store at very little cost. Apply to
the hair twice a week until the de-
sired shade is obtained. This will
make a gray haired person look
twenty years younger. This is not
dye, it does not color the most
delicate scalp, is not sticky or
greasy and does not rub ff."-Adv.

AEROPLAHES
COMING To
OCALA
TO FLY OVER The FAIR
NEXT THURSDAY
Two of Uncle Sans Aerial Cavalry
Units Will Add Great Interest
TO the Event

Mr.. P. V. Leavengood, business
manager of the Star, returned Sun
day night from a trip to Dorr Field,
where he went as a representative
Of the War Savings Stamps commit
tee of Marion county. to try to OBJ
tain promise of the visit of army avi-
ators with their planes to the Marion
County Fair. He succeeded in OBJ
tanning the promise of two planes,
which their crews will fly up from
Dorr Field Thursday morning, arriv-
ing about 10 a. m. These two planes
and their aviators will be here one
day only, returning to Dorr Field
Friday morning.
Mr. Leavengood was accompanied
by Lieut.. Simmons of the aviation
service, who came to carefully look
over the ground and approve Of a
landing place. The place prepared
about 80 per cent of being big
enough.
The planes will land and fly from
the big Munroe and Chambliss pas
ture three miles southeast of town.,
and everybody in ten miles will be
able to see them when they are up.
Perhaps the Star shouldn't say So,
but Mr.. Leavengood is entitled to
considerable credit for obtaining the
promise of the visit of the planes to
the fair. He found that the decision
was left entirely in charge of the
commanding officer of the camp. who
was naturally reluctant to risk the
machines in anything outside the line
of duty. Marion is the first county in
Florida to obtain a visit of planes for
it's fair, and as it is over $50 miles
as bird flies from the aviation field
to Ocala our town and county may be
proud as well as grateful for the
favor.
Mr.. Leavengood was treated with
great courtesy by the officers at the
aviation field, and Lieut.. Simmons,
the officer on visit here, is being ex-
tended warm welcome. He is an ex-
cellent specimen of the soldiers Uncle
Sam has made in his emergency.
1t is believed that if the landing
station here proves satisfactory that
we will have frequent visits from
army airplanes in their flights across
Florida.
