1t seems to the Star that it would
have been wiser in the fuel admins
tration to stop joy riding at night in
stead of on Sundays. 1t is the chief
pleasure of great many men who
have cars to take their families for
auto trips on Sundays. They do not
burn much gas in proportion and the
rides add greatly to the comfort and
health of their families. On the other
hand the joy riders that burn gaso-
line every night in the week not only

1t is believed that this winter there
will be a much larger number than
usual of northern people in Florida
coming here to escape the cold, which
will be added to by scarcity of fuel
at home. Ocala is a place excellent
" fitted by nature and the work OF
its people to furnish quiet and com
Portable homes for at least a thou
sand of these visitors. So far, there
has not been any attempt to adver-
tise the attractions and advantages
of our town, and we don't suppose
there will be.

A DREAM

My old man he had dream
And told it cause twas funny.
The dream, to me, seemed kind o
strong,
Tho he is weak and puny.
In some things he is infdel,
Where I'm a firm believer;
I well remember Daniels case
In dreams with old Belshazzar.
But this is what my hubby dreamed
While on his pillow sleeping,
The midnight hours trooping by,
Their silent vigils keeping.
He saw little Spitzie dog
Scent up and chase hare
And being strongest of the two
He caught and tore her there
And while he was enjoying
His full and rare repast
A larger dog appeared
And askant glances cast.
Then quick as thought he bounded
And fell upon the Spitz
And ate him up before
He'd swallowed all the bits!

CURTAILMENT OF
LOANS BY BANKS

Credit extended by banks to their
customers for non-essential purposes
hurts in several ways. First, it in
wolves the use of money that might be
better invested in government secu-
rites, thereby helping to win the
war, and shorten the war with the
consequent saving of American lives.
Second, it involves the use of labor,
material and transportation, which
ought to be left free to meet, to the
fullest the needs of the government.
Third it involves unnecessary compe-
tition with the government, both de-
laying government operations and
making them more expensive.

SOME WON'T BELIEVE
MONROE SOLDIER EYE WITNESS
OF BELGIAN Atrocities
FIGHT TO THE END.

Lieut.. Charles Kohl of Monroe, who
is now in France writes to his wife:
If you could see what have seen,
you would want me here to fight the
thing that does it. Little BELGIAN
children with their tongues slit, ears
gone, etc. 1t makes me utter oaths
OF thousand years back. Revenge is
sweet, and if I never do another thing
someone must pay"
The fields were green and vege-
tables out of the ground at the time
when the letter, dated March 18th.
was written, and the weather was
very pleasant. The buildings in the
camp are similar to those in Rock
ford, and are clean and comfortable.
Some things are cheap-wine costs
l6c liter, milk SC a quart, butter is
not to be had, cheese is high, black
bread is cheap, and there is almost
no sugar. Beer is very cheap, but
tastes like dish water, writes Lieut..
Kohl. The soldiers learn French
quickly. The French people save ev-
erything and make it into small bund-
les for fuel. Wood costs $32 a cord.
American money is accepted gladly
by the French people, The general
customs of the people amuse the Am
er1can boys very much. Mr. Kohl is
we'll known in Grant county having
been jeweler in the Clifford Jewelry
store, Platteyille, for a number of
years.
