tunty on, or before, June 18th, 1918, of showing their
loyalty and conservation to the great enterprise this
nation is engaged upon by pledgine themselves to save
and economic and invest regularly in War Savings
Stamps.
The material needs necessary to prosecute the war
successfully, can be met only if the people of this nation
deny themselves some of their customary expenditures.
1t is not enough to furnish thousands of young men as
this State is doing. Those men must be clothed, fed and
equipped. surely when they are so willing to give their
lives we should not hesitate to lend our savings.
The people of this State are expected to save and
invest in War Savings. Stamps to the maturity value of
$6O,OOO,OOO during this year. Proportionate allotments
have been made to other States and the President of the
United States has called on the people of the various

BEEFLESS DAYS COME NOV;
EAT PORK, POULTRY OR FISH.

Don't eat beef now, says Mr.. Hoov-
er. If you do, limit yout beef rations
to a pound and a half per person a
week (Which is a great deal more than
the average person has been eating,
one would say. since beef went so high
in price,. The Food Administrator
urges that fish on the coast, be sub
stituted for meat whenever possible,
and that pork, and mutton, and poul-
try be used instead of beef. The al
lies need meats, and beef is the best
meat for shipment overseas.

ALIVE AGAIN
SOME GOOD FRUIT

Mr.. j. NJ Thomas, vice president
of the Munroe & Chambliss National
Bank. in company with member of
the Stars staff paid visit to the
Thomas-Crook orange grove on Fairy
Island in Sumter county yesterday.
The fine 35-acre orange and grape
fruit grove is growing just as rapid
ly as it can and the trees so badly cut
back by the cold of February 1917,
have made wonderful growth and
by next bloom season will be capable
of bearing an almost full crop.
There are in the grove many hun
dreds of trees practically untouched
by the freeze and these will all have
crop of fruit on them this season,
some of them being loaded. The
fruit is more than half grown and is
in perfect condition without rust or
scar and is maturing nicely.
A careful estimate gives the crop
at 300 boxes of grapefruit and close
to 1000 boxes of oranges. The or
anges are the Parson Brown variety
mostly, mature early and bring fancy
prices. The grove next year should
bring from six to ten thousand boxes
of fruit.

will be those who are ready to accept
assignment to whatever hospital the
government directs them, although
they may state what training school
they prefer to be sent to. Those who
register in the preferred class will be
assigned first, and all possible con-
sideration will be given to their pref
erence as stated. The deferred class
is composed of those who limit their
pledge of fsservice-that is. who will
not engage to go except to certain
hospitals. This class is intended
largely for those who. for family
reasons, can not accept training at a
distance from their homes. Those who
register in the deferred class will be
assigned only after the preferred
class is exhausted.
The government relief on the pat
riotism of those who enroll to fill out
preferred cards if they possibly can,
thus volunteering to go where they
are most needed.
Nobody will be assigned to any
schools whose conditions of training
are not approved by the State Board
of Nurse Examiners.
Terms of training.-The term of
training varies from two to three
years, according to the requirements
of the particular school to which the
student nurse may be sent. No course
takes less than two years nor more
than three.
What the training course prepares
fOr.-At present every women who
completes satisfactorily her training
in any accredited school is eligible foi
services as an army nurse at the
front and stands a chance of being
assigned to duty abroad. At the same
time she will. be qualified to earn her
living in one of the noblest profes-
sions open TO women. 1t should be re-
membered, furthermore, that her USE
fulness will begin not when she grad
yates from the training school but as
soon as she enters it. Practical nurs-
ing work is part of the work of ev-
cry training school, and the student
nurse is not only learning to serve
but serving her country from the
outset.

WILBUR WAS WORKING

Deputy Marshal Wilbur Cleveland
was quite busy while here last week,
as will be seen by the following from
the Tampa Tribune:
After chase of several months,
United States Deputy Marshal Will
bur Cleveland has landed the evidence
which he claims will put an end to
alleged illegal practice by j. A. Toll
iver, negro quack doctor he arrested
yesterday at Ocala and who is being
held in the Marion county Jail in de-
fault of $500 bond after a prelimina-
ry hearing on a charge of using the
mails for furthering a scheme to de-
fraud.
1t is alleged that Toliver has been
operating extensively for several
years on the west coast, among the
many prescriptions which he is said
to have specialized in among the ne
gro women in Tampa, st. Petersburg
and Ocala being one for winning
your husband back" Toliver was
bound over at Ocala yesterday to
await action of the federal grand
jury, according to Deputy CLEVELAND,
who returned to the city last night.
According to Deputy Cleveland,
Toliver had on his person when ar
rested a number of letters from me-
gro men and women which spoke OF
money being enclosed for which
please send me one of the various
prescriptions which the negro adver-
tised. 1t is alleged that Teliver has
defrauded members of his race out
of various sums ranging from So up
on promises to cure or restore, said
promises, it being alleged by the au-
thorities, being false and impossible
of fulfillment.
Deputy Cleveland also rounded up
a Stacker while on the trip from
which he returned yesterday. Allen
Riggsby, negro living at Inver-
ness, was ordered registered by Com
missioner Williams at Ocala. The
negro was ignorant of his age, it is
said.

GREATEST STUNT EVER
PERFORMED WITH A TRUCK

The Maxwell Motor Sales Corpora.
tion, with one of its stock worm-gear
trucks, just like the Ocala agency is
selling, has put on run from San
Francisco to New York city with one
ton of merchandise. See what the
truck did in its first days run. The
truck is in every way stock truck
with no extras whatever. 1t is just
like the Marion Hardware Company,
Mr.. Burgess, Mr.. Meffert, Messrs.
Crosby e. johnson, the Standard Oil
Company at Williston and Contractor
Jarrett of Bronson are using daily.
Reno, Nevada, July 18.-Covering
275 miles on July Tits first day out
from San Francisco-the Maxwell
truck which is relaying load of
military supplies from Australia to
France via the Lincoln Highway,
made its first stop on its way to New
York here.
The MAXWELL Military Express"
as the truck has been called by the
coast newspapers, practically dou-
bled on its announced schedule which
provided for the first stop at Sacra.
mento, Cal.-127 miles from the
Golden Gate.
Beyond Sacramento, the truck
drove straight ahead over the Sierra
Nevada mountains and made the
steady altitude climb of 1900 feet in
one 79-mile stretch until Reno was
reached. Ordinarily. it takes a pas
senger automobile at least three days
to negotiate this distance as the pull
up the west Sierra slope is very
steep, rough and covered with per-
petual snow on the higher eleva-
tions.
Despite the heavy mountain pas
sage, the truck paused in Reno only
long enough to allow Roy Mcnamara,
the Detroiter who is plotting it TO
call for mail and replenish food and
fuel supplies. Then it hit the trail
through the Nevada deserts for East
gate, New, a run which crosses sew
eral very steep and difficult mountain
grades.

ping would interrupt food shipments
to the soldiers overseas in addition to
hampering war operations through
interference with the movement of

WANTED
Twenty-Five Thousand Women to
Enroll in the u. S. Student
Nurse Reserve

The Government is calling for 25,-
900 young women to join the United
States Student Nurse. Reserve and
hold themselves in readiness to train
for service as nurses.
The war is creating an unprece-
dented demand for trained nurses.
Only those who have taken the full
training course are eligible for SER
vice with our forces overseas. These
nurses are being drawn largely from
our hospitals at home. Their places
must be filled by student nurses en-
rolled for the full training course of
from two to three years. Every
young woman who enrolls in the
United States Student Nurse Reserve
is releasing nurse for service at the
front and swelling the home army
which we must rely on to act as our
second line of hospital defense. Upon
the health of the American people will
depend the spirit of their fighting
forces.
Age.-The call is for women be-
tween the ages of nineteen and thir-
ty-five.
QuaiificatiOns.-Inte respon-
siblewomen of good education and
sound health are wanted-the pick of
the country. A college education is
a valuable asset, and many hospitals
will give credit for it. Credit will
also be given for special scientific
equipment or for preliminary train
ss,rr haA -,
special courses now being conducted
by various colleges and schools. Some
schools, on the other hand, do not
even require full high-school educa-
tion.
nroilment-Women will be given
an opportunity to enroll in the Unit
ed States Students Nurse Reserve in
any one of three ways:
(1) AS engaging to hold them
selves in readiness until April l, 1919,
to accept assignments in nurses
training schools. These women will
be sent to the schools as fast as va
cancies occur. Those of superior
qualifications will be given prefer
ence, and it is. of course, possible
that not. everyone who enrolls will be
accepted.
(2) As desiring to become candi-
dates for the Army Nursing School
recently established by authority of
the War Department. with branch
schools in selected military hospitals.
l3l As engaging to hold them
selves in readiness until April l, 1919,
to accept assignments to either a
civilian training school or the Army
Nursing School. Those who so enroll
will be called where the first need
arises. The government hopes that a
majority of those who enroll will
thus put down their names for both.
The Nurses Training Schools
There are 1879 nurses training
schools in this country. Their need is
as great and imperative as that of
the Army School of Nursing. Those
who enroll for these schools will be
assigned as vacancies occur.
The enrolment card will Indicate
two classes of Preferred
and Deferred. The preferred class

sixteen New American CITIES.

Some idea Of the vast extent Of the
work involved In building captonments
for the new national army IL given in
the following paragraph from Edward
IIungerford's "The Camps of the First
Half Million" in Everybody's:
sixteen new cities for America
Sixteen cities. each of the size of Eas-
ton, Pa, or Elmlra, N. Y, or Kalama-
zoo, Mich. each built TO definite and
fairly common plan. and all completed
within from 100 TO 120 days. Here.
then, was some slight measure of the
problem. To measure 1t in still an
other way, consider the building of n
community of wood equal in popula-
tion to Cleveland or Pittsburgh or st.
Louis; then the division OF that great
town into sixteen separate commup-
tiles or cantonments-an average of
one for each three states--and spread
all the way across The face of the land
from the commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts to the state Of Washington.
