MILK IN WINTER.

Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not sup
ply them with grasses and green
food. But we have come to the as
sistance Of Dame Nature with B. A.
Thomas Stock Remedy which con-
tains the very ingredients that thu
green feed supplies in season only, Of
course, in a more highly concentrated
form. We guarantee that this rem
edy will make your cows give more
milk, and better milk, with the same
feed.

Mr.. w. j. Crosby of Citra paid
the Star a pleasant visit Monday aft
ernoon. Mr. Crosby informed the
Star that he would be a candidate for
the state senate in the coming pri-
mary. Mr.. Crosby is very well
known to our people. He is one of
our leading farmers and fruit grow
ers and intensely interested in the
welfare of the county and state. He
served awhile as county commits
sioner and has been one of Marion's
representatives in the lower house
of the legislature for the last two
terms. 1t is beyond doubt that Mr..
Crosby has made good representa-
tive and has strong support for the
senate. He says that he hopes the
campaign will be carried out in a
clean and kindly manner, in which
wish the Star heartily joins.

1t must impress any fairminded
person that Secretary Baker did very
well in his answer to Senator Cham
berlain. Mr.. Baker did not claim
that the conduct of his department
had been beyond criticism. He
simply maintained that he and his
assistants had done their best and
that they had done a great work,
and we think the country will agree
with him. In raising and equipping
an array of over a million men in
eight months, the nation has done
the greatest work in this line that
has ever been accomplished. Of
course there have been mistakes and
of course there has been much pri-
walton and some suffering, but there
hasn't been much in proportion to the
size of the undertaking. Mr.. Baker
might not have been the best man for
the job when he was appointed secre-
tary of war, but he has grown in ex-
perience, and we doubt that any bet
ter man for the Office could be found
now.

We bumped our head against
meatless day first thing this morn
ing. We strayed into the Harring-
ton restaurant just after midnight
and not noticing the time called for
one of the big, fat ham sandwiches
for which that snug little place is
famous, and were sadly but firmly
told by the night manager that it
was one minute past II o'clock, and
no meat would be served for twenty
four hours. Well, we approve of
those meatless days and the people
who have the patriotism to keep
them. We bit into a quarter-section
of apple pie and consoled ourself by
thinking we were helping to serve a
ration for some one of the American
boys or Tommies or poilus fighting

We have received copy of the
Palm Beach Post, Joe Earman's pa
per. It contains a story written by
Joe lat least it has his name to IT'D
about the senatorial candidates of
Volusia county. 1t pokes fun at
them all except Jim Alexander. jim,
being a Cats man, and Cats being
said to be Earman's man, of course
Jim is immune from Joe's elephan-
tine sarcasm. Joe tells a story at the
expense of Dr. Lincoln Hulley of
Stetson University. DR.. HUXLEY is
one of the candidates for the SEN
ate, and If the people of Volusia
county have good sense they win
elect him, for he would be an honor
TO not only Volusia but the whole
state. The story which Joe believes
to be funny is framed, so Joe thinks,
to fatter the Florida crackers, and il
is evident by the way it is written
that Joe thinks the average Florida
cracker is derned ignoramus. II
confuses lin the crackers mind or
rather in what Joe thinks is the
cracker MlHut JdflGS WuiLCOHlB
Riley, who DR.. HUXLEY is represented
IS talking about, with a Volusia
county man named Riley. It is a
good story in its way; just about fits
the intellect of a man who doesn't
read anything but the sporting page
of paper, and nobody can blame an
ex-liquor salesman for thinking that
is the acme of literature. But the
story is o1d-very old. We won't say
it is one of the seven original jokes,
but it is a variation on one of them,
dating back to at least the Trojan
war. The last time it was put in ac-
ton before this, it was told on fell
low who was running for Congress
in Ohio during the Bryan Mckinley
campaign. Maybe Joe heard it then
and filed it away for future refer
ence. Or maybe somebody told it to
him and he thought it was new.
There are so many old gags that
once in awhile you run across even
a travelling man who hasn't heard
them all.

handsome piece of blue and white en-

on the treasurer of the United States
for one dollar in payment for one pair

given to the u. S. navy The ships
of the navy are short of field and spy
glasses and anyone having a pair
laying around can serve their country
lwell by loaning or giving them to the
navy department. The writer knows
of several pairs of good glasses lay
| ing around in different homes in
Belleview that serve no other pur-
pose than that of giving sense of
ownership. They are never used and
| in this crisis they could be made to
serve the country to good advantage.
