Marion county people needn't feel
discouraged because Dade has beaten
them over the top in the war savings
stamps campaign. Dade has vastly
less to do than Marion The quotas
of both counties were fixed by the
census Of 1910. At that time, Dade
had 29,707 people and Marion 29,454.
Dade now claims, and probably has,
$4,000 people, very large proportion
of them well-to-do. Marion's popu-
lation, owing to the war, is probably
less than it was eight years ago. An
other thing to consider is that Dade
has vastly more of money making
establishments than Marion. Dade
has enormous hotels and big stores
to cater to it's great tourist trade, it
is one Of the Fairgrounds of the rich,
it has an aviation camp and is beside
one of the great truck producing
regions of the country. Marion has
very little but it's farms and the mer-
camille establishments, banks and in
dustries that go with farms. 1t is
true that Marion is more solid than
uade; it could live after Dade had
starved to death, but its ready money
comes in the steady dollar by dollar
fashion instead of flying around in the
air in focks as it does in Dade, at
times. All the same. we congratu-
late Dade on its prosperity and its
patriotism, and while our county can't
be first In the campaign we shall take
care it isn't the last.

If you come into Ocala on an ordi-
nary week day and look around and
wonder where the people are, we can
tell you. The young men are in the
army or navy; the older men are hard
at work to support the home folks
and raise money TO help win the war;
the women and girls ars doing house
work, taking some of the places Of
the men in the service or doing Red
Cross work. There are exceptions, of
course, but the rule is pretty well
filled out.

Tomorrow being the fourth of July,
we are going to give our readers a
treat, and not write any more than
the law requires. We shall print the
auditors report of city affairs, which
will be a very interesting document
to any person with patience to wade
thru it, our telegraph dispatches and
very little else. It will be one of the
best issues of the Star printed this
year.
