If Hindenburg is dead, we see no
reason for rejoicing over his death
any more than lover that of any
other enemy soldier. He doesn't seem
to have won any great success except
on ground Of his own choosing and
over the badly led, half-armed Rus
slams. and even in this he was excel
ed by MacKenzen, who will probably
succeed him. 1t is said that linden
burg had some scruples about throw
ing away the lives of his men, and
that this caused the emperor to give
him the rebuke that brought on his
death. Judging by what is said of
him, MacKenzen is not only very
skillful but utterly regardless of the
lives of his men as well as those of
the enemy. His victories, however
like those of Hindenburg, have all
been gained in the east, over Rus
slams, Serbs and Rumanians. He will
find the lineup in the west very diff
ferent.

HOW TO PREVENT FIRES

It is an old maxim that fire is a
good servant but hard master.
Shakspere wrote: A little fire is
quickly trodden out; which, being
suffered, rivers cannot quench.
If the following precautions are
taken, fires from accident or span
taneous combustion will seldom occur.
Keep your house, store or factory
clean
Don't allow rubbish such as paper,
cobwebs, old clothing, boxes, etc., to
accumulate in closets and unused
rooms.
Don't run your stovepipe through
a wooden partition or through the
roof without proper protection.
Don't put ashes in wooden recep-
tacles in or about your premises.
Don't keep matches in any but
metal or earthen safes, and when you
light one never throw it on the floor.
Don't allow smoking in proximity
to infla mmable merchandise or ma
terial.
Don't close up your place of bus
mess before going over the entire
premises to see that all fires are safe
or extinguished.
Don't forget that carelessness and
negligence are the cause of over two
thirds of all fires.
Don't forget that in case of fire
call the fire department first; then do
what you can to extinguish fire.
Notice
Find out the number of the nearest
fire plug OF your residence or place
of business and give that in turning
in an alarm. Firemen don't know
where everybody lives.

ct Chief Ocala Fire Dept.

GOVERNMENT WASTING
PAPER BY THE TON

Speaking of the recent arbitrary
order TO newspapers TO cut off their
exchanges, the Tampa Times says:
And now the war industries board
is taking a hand in the conservation
game and suggesting 70 the publish
ers Of newspapers various ways in
which they can conserve paper, which
is declared TO be crying need of the
hour Some of the ways are good and
have been practiced by many pub
fishers for years. Of some others the
best that can be said of them is, that
they are foolish and impracticable,
and remind US of nothing so much as
| of those impossible cooking recipes
with which the tyros up. at Washing
ton and elsewhere have deluged the
newspapers of the country in an at
tempt to lead the old experienced
housewives of the country, who have
make. cooking life long study, along
new and unfamiliar paths.
One of the bright suggestions of
the war industries board to newspa-
per editors is ''cut off all free ex.
changes" Now, isn't that a smart
idea? What kind of newspaper does
the war industries board think could
be gotten up without the constant adj
vice and assistance of the thousands
of brainy editors all over the land
who are constantly and tirelessly in
jecting their wit and wisdom into the
pages of their publications. We are
all working together in the great
newspaper game, and most of US with
very little reward in a financial way.
We mostly have to be satisfied with
| the approval of our own conscience,
and modicum of grumbling on the
| part of our subscribers.
But the idea strikes us forcibly
and we propose to give it expression
at the risk of being thought disloyal,
or at least hypercritical, that the con-
servation of paper. like charity, should
begin at home. Every mail from
Washington brings to our table stacks
| of printed matter about as applicable
and interesting to our readers here as
| it would be in Kamtchatka. We sup
| pose every paper in the land receives
the same. If we printed the half OF
| it we should have no room left for
anything else. 1t is printed on the
finest paper, on one side only, and
there must be tons of it going into the
waste baskets every week. We ven
ture TO say there are many papers
printed in Florida every week that
! use less paper. and of less expensive
quality than that which they con-
tribute to the waste basket. Timely
articles are always welcome to an edi-
tor, but much of the slush that ii
sent out is neither timely nor well
come. 1t is nuisance and might well
be eliminated. Let conservation be-
gin at Washington.

PLAYED Too Slow Pieces.

Wieniawski had his humorous ex.
periences-this even after he was
quite widely known. On one occasion,
relates Alexander Bloch In the New
York Times, he was asked by a
wealthy British nobleman TO state his
terms for playing half-hour at his
home They came TO an agreement,
and on the evening of the musicale
Wieniawski opened the program with
Beethoven's Romance In r.
He was playing his best and deeply
engrossed in the music when he sud
denly noticed out of the corner of his
eye the host nervously looking at his
watch This happened several times
before the Romance was finished.
At its close. as he was bowling his
acknowledgements 10 rapturons ap-
plause, the British peer caught him
by the sleeve and whispered In his
ear.
"For heavens sake. man, how much
do you expect to get through in half
an hour at this rate2 Why do You play
such slow pieees?"

make goods in Connecticut would pay
more freight by rail from New York
to Jacksonville or Savannah than by
water to Rio or Buenos Ayres, and
would still have the water haul to pay
for. Immense quantities of cotton,
naval stores and phosphate have
been shipped to Europe from south
ern ports. tho New York is nearer TO
Europe than any Of our southern
ports. When the South manufac-
lures great quantities of goods that
are demanded in South America, said
goods will be shipped from Charles
ton, Savannah, Jacksonville, etc.

Another good reason why the col
lege professors don't want any of the
students to enlist. instead of finish
ing up their courses, is that If &
whole lot of them did so college rev.
enues would fall off and some of the
professors would be out of their jobs
But the intelligent and able-bodiec
young student who goes into this
war right now will learn something
college can never teach him. If he
survives the war. he can finish his
education. If he doesn't, he won't
need any education. And if he stays
out his fellow citizens will never
have the respect for him they will
have for less-educated men who went
in,

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
Domestic
About a year ago. we cut our ex-
4ange list down to about thirty pap

sADouC year ago, we cut our eA-
&|lange list down to about thirty pap
sers, retaining only those we found
most necessary in the exchange OF
ideas. When the order from the war
industries board to cut off exchanges
came along we sent to each of these
papers request to swap subscrip-
tions. Most of them have complied;
some making the same request ahead
of US. To the few who have not met
the proposition, the Star goes today
for the last time, unless they take ii
up later. The order to the newspap-
ers did not come from any statesman
or any man acquainted with news
papers. 1t most likely came from
some man who didn't know what he
was doing, and who was put in his
position by mistake.

A good many people are wondering
why goods for South America are
shipped from northern ports instead
of southern, the southern ports OF
course being nearer South America
by several hundred miles than the
northern. Seems to us the reason is
easy to understand. Nearly all the
goods shipped to South America are
made in northern cities, and the
shorter the rail and the longer the
water haul between the two points
the less the freight rate. Men who

DIR. BoOZER

Captain S. r. Pyles, Sunday, re-
ceived a telegram, bringing the sad
news that DIR. ]. c. Boozer had just
passed away at the home of his
brother at Hogansville, Ga.
A great many people in Marion
and other counties will regret to hear
of DR.. Boozer's death. He made his
home here for many years and was a
strong factor in rebuilding Marion
county affairs. He was president for
some years of the Commercial Bank
and held that position until i'll health
compelled his retirement He was a
very kind and courteous man with a
deep understanding of human nature,
and strong disposition to be help
full. He was a special friends of the
farmers, whose value to all the re-
mainder of the social fabric he fully
understood.
DIR. Boxers remains will be laid to
rest at Hogansville today. The Star
joins his other friends in deep regret
at his passing. He was but 90 years
old and had not his constitution been
undermined by illness would probably
have lived out his three-score and ten.

little brief authority in one of the

ice, which has no way of putting in
formation before the public except
thru the cooperation of the news

The fourth at Copper Sink school
house was a great event. There were
many hundreds Of people present.
Governor Cats was the principal
speaker of the day. The address of
the governor was patriotic through
out and he INDUCED in many witt
cisms which kept the assemblage in
la receptive mood for the deep thoughts
brought out forcibly during the talk.
He related one of Bob Taylor's best"
which seemed to stick with many of
the boys present who have not ceased
to re-relate it on various occasions.
1t seems that one Of the illustrious
governors of Bob's home state was
deeply impressed with a gift from a
convict incarcerated in the state
prison. The present was violin,
with message that the governor
play at the approaching Christmas
tide, Home Sweet Home" to his fam
lily gathered around the freside The
governor was SO touched, that the
violin was returned to the prisoner
with the admonition that he mighs
go, fully pardoned, and, gathering
his family about him, play to them
"Home Sweet Home" The prisoner
was rejoiced and after fifteen years
incarceration, upon arriving home
called his wife and children in order
to obey the mandate of his liberator,
Children appeared ranging from two
years up, to the astonishment of the
former prisoner, and. to make the
story short, he wrote the governor he
played the tune, "Whose Been Here
Since I've. Been Gone ?"-Bronson
Times-Democrat.
This is hardly the sort of a story
that a gentleman, let alone preacher
and the governor of state, would be
expected to tell in the presence of
women and children. We hope, for
the credit of the state, that the
Times-D Democrat has misquoted Mr..
Cats.
