Mr.. BRINSON'S MATERIAL

In recent issue of the Star, Mr.
Brinson plaintively says:
"You were kind enough to wish that
/ continue in office until / am called
to the other side This being the case
please give me something to work
with and do not tie my hands nor
those of the board while we are here"
The inference is that Mr. Brinson
and other county superintendent
think they are not being given a fair
proportion of the public funds with
which to carry on their educational
work.
Now, let US see how much they re.
ceive.
The tax levy in this county this
year is 81 mills on a valuation Of
81, 255,210. This gives the county
authorities s152,359.41, of which the
school board receives $50, 1864.
This leaves S101, 572.94 for all other
county purposes, including keeping ur
over two hundred miles of roads, on
which the chairman of the board OF
commissioners says should be spent
this year not less than 100000.
The people put up with their patch.
ed roads, because of the war But
Mr.. Crimson wants another $4,000 or
the school funds, war or no war.
But this $4,000 is not all the schools
receive. Not by jugfull. They re.
ceive all the poll taxes, nearly $1,000
more. And the board of county com.
missioners pays certain fees for tbs
school board
Then there are the sub-school dis
trict taxes-one to three mills on each
district. The total is $30,713.16.
Altogether, our county schools re-
ceive this year 4,468.63, not count
! ing special funds for bonds, such al

The people of the Ocala district are

! There are not as many school chill
dren in this county today as there
were four years ago. 1t is agreed thai
we can't put up any school building:
at present. The school board ha.
raised the salaries of large proper
ton of the teachers-those who need
ed it most

tied and he has no tools to work with

they would make it answer the pur

"OyER THE TOP"

We are glad to say our little fund
for military equipment for the Ocala
High School has gone over the top.
1t was given strong and sudden
shove Monday by Mrs. Ford Rogers,
who contributed five dollars.
Mrs. Rogers, who boards at the
Arms House. has always taken deep
interest in the young men among the
boarders. Her interest in them has
been increased by their going into the
army So she paid dollar apiece for
herself and four of the patriotic
young men, J. Duncan Macdonald,
Charles Simpson, j. Gid Parrish and
Hendricks Sheppard.
Saturday night, Mr.. Frank Drake
handed US a dollar for the fund, and
Monday Mr.. H. c. Cameron's bright
little boy brought in dollar for his
father.
And this morning Mr.. Z. c. Cham
bliss handed over dollar which he
said had been burning his pocket for
several days.
We have taken pleasure in raising
the money, and in the name of the
high school we thank those who have
so cheerfully contributed. Their names
follow:

A big New York firm, which deals
in toys, has refused to accept ship
load of German toys which has just
arrived in New York via Holland.
The New York firm ordered the toys
before the war. They have been held
up in Rotterdam ever since, until a
few weeks ago, when they were ship
ped, probably in hope of the Germans
of reenwing American trade. They
lad already been paid for. But the
New York firm, of Butler Brothers,
prefers to lose its money to having
any German-made goods. This firm

A government supervised

A government supervised expert
ment was conducted in Marion county
a few years ago to find out what cat
tie ticks would do to dairy cows. Dur
ing the period of demonstration the
heavily tick infested cows gave AZ pei
cent less milk than the tick free cows
fed the same quantity of food on the
same farm, and the lightly tick in
tested cows gave 18 per cent less
milk than the. tick free cows. At the
close of the contest one of the tick
infested cows died from tick fever
Why continue this demonstration any
longer, when milk is worth such q
high price. Vote yes for compulsory
dipping of cattle, at the election or
November 9Th.

A great many of our people are of
the opinion that the war is almost
over and many prophesy it will be
finished by Christmas. We should like
to agree with them but are afraid to.
Bulgaria is the only member of the
central alliance that is definitely out
of the war. 1t looks like Austria is
about to go to pieces, but Germany
has a firm grip on several of the
pieces and is able to use them. Tur-
key is entirely defeated in Syria and
Mesopotamia and cut off by land from
its allies, but there is large portion
o. Turkey, all Asia Minor in fact, yet
uninvaded by an enemy. AS for Ger
many, there is lots of fight in Ger
many yet. All this talk about a civil
government, readiness to make peace
ETC., may be and probably is camou-
fiage. The only terms the Allies can
give the Germans are such as will re-
duce Germany to the rank of a third
class power. 1t is very likely that be-
fore the Germans will accept such
terms they will decide to fight awhi!-
longer.

Arthur Henderson, the British labor
leader, suspected of being pacifist,
tried to go to France the other day, to
confer with French socialists. The
crew of the vessel on which he had
booked passage refused to sail with
him on board and he had to go back
to London.

Austria asks for an armistice on
terms that will lead to peace, and
Austria can obtain an armistice on
terms that will render it impossible
for the Austrians to renew the war
1t is very likely that the Austrians
know this, so it is possible that their
attempts TO obtain peace are sincere
But if they are it is certain that the
Austrians must be in the greatest ex-
-tremity, an extremity that makes
them prefer any sort of a peace to
keeping on fighting. The test will
come when the Allies announce their
terms of an armistice, which will GER
tainly demand that the Austrians give
up their navy, demobilize their army
surrender all vantage points to the
Italians and Serbs and allow full and
free communication with the Czecho-
Slovaks.

There is an element in war pie
that leaves taste in your mouth
like you had tried to take bite out
of carpet-not new carpet, either.
IL John d. Rockefeller would discover
what this element is, buy it all and

history as .philanthropist.

George Mathews of the Fort Lau,
derdale Sentinel says that if Florida
does not adopt equal suffrage the

tatives. And we thought George was

ers are getting less than $1,000 per
