His lectures abound with good
sense. He makes one more hopeful.
He points out opportunities for real
success that are ordinarily over
looked, He gets hold Of the heart
and makes the world look big and
wholesome to the average man who
may have imagined himself q plgrdy.
He is 3 born humofist and many
hearty laughs attest his power Ia
this subtle art. In his soberest ar
guments one catches occasional bits
of wholesome levity and in his hui
moreus passages there is genuine Joy.
He is lawyer, author and lecturer
in well-balanced combination. He
will make good on any platform
where sound thought, wholesome
sentiment and force of character
can gain hearing.
Life means more after you have
heard Mr.. Orchard, He is a posi-
tive force, working to make the
path clearer and easier for strug-
Cling humanity. He has a wonder

Course, 1918-19
Tuesday, December II, 'l8

I , - - y
His Lectures are real studies in
the most interesting and vital phas-
.es of human life. The treatment is
never academic or prosaic. Origi-
nality, keenness and wholesome
sincerity are big characteristics that
always impress themselves in his
platform work.
He is not a gushing optimist who
would minimize all the real perils Of
life and thus brand the man who is
down as a born failure. On the
contrary he is not afraid to tackle
the beast in his lair and is always
found fighting for the under dog
His education is broad and liber-
al. He thinks philosophically and
often expresses himself poetically.
He enjoys the acquaintance Of ma
ny prominent men Of letters and q
public life, and has also made in
life long study of those in the hum
blestwalks of life. He has a proper
perspective view Of the world. He
is3level-headed and sane.

The county commissioners have
promised to supply the Win the War
League with big. fine American flag,
to be hoisted on the public square as
soon as the league selects proper
place to put it. It is rather difficult
proposition to find good place for
the flag. The courthouse dome would
be the most appropriate place, but an
apparatus to raise and lower the flag
would cost several hundred dollars,
and beside that the dome isn't strong
enough to support it. We heard a
prominent member of the league favor
erecting much higher and stronger
pole on the public square and flying
the flag from it. requesting the mem
bers of the fire department to care
for it, as they are now caring for the
smaller flag for the city. Seems to
the Star this would be the best solu-
ton of the problem.

PAY FOR YOUR PAPER

Get the idea out of your head that
subscriptions are not due until the
Star has been received for one, three
or six months, or year. as the case
may be. 1t is payable in advance. and
when your bill is sent you either by
mail or by collector, don't pull the
stuff about the time not being out
just as an excuse to stand off the &C
count. No bills are presented before
they are due, SO pay up when they are
presented. 1t is not a pleasant task
for ask for settlement of an account,
so if you will keep yours paid up it
will tend to make more pleasant rela-
tons all around. On some occasions
the collector is told to "come again
two or three times, and then when in
structions are followed is looked upon
as a nuisance by the erstwhile slack
err" You know whether this means
you or the "other fellow, so if it's you,
please be more considerable of the
feelings of the collector, and also
PAY UP.

It's the Stars opinion that the cot
ton situation will straighten itself
out in a few days. The truth is that
real inconvenience has so far only oc-
CURED in isolated cases. One of our
leading ginners informs US that he
has made arrangements to take care
OF all his regular patrons, and we
think the others, or most of them,
will do the same thing. 1t is no use to
blame the local ginners, as they are
not responsible for a national situa-
ton, and disaster to their clientele
will be disastrous to them. It's the
Stars opinion that the trouble is due
to "proiteers," and they will probably
be shown up and rounded up before
another season. Our people have not
made proper provision for taking
care of cotton. They are accustomed
to taking their cotton directly from
the fields to the gins and few have
made any provision for storage A
man who raises cotton should have a
place to store it, the same as he has
crib for his corn. Spectators are
with disastrous effect to the cotton
grower. The business men of Ocala
have been very silly in not building a
big cotton warehouse. If we had such
an institution, cotton could be ginned
and baled and then stored to wait the
best condition of the market. So far,
very few farmers have brought in
cotton, and there is probably not
enough to start the gins on. 1t is our
opinion that. combine or no combine,
the gins will start as soon as there is
enough cotton picked to warrant their
doing so. In the meantime, it will pay
every man to hold his cotton as long
as he can. Even with $4,000 bales
from Egypt, there will not be enough
to supply the demand.

The Allies seem to be marrying the
Germans with series of minor often,
sives. It is not that these offensives
are SO very small, as hundreds of
thousands of men are used in each
but they are not to be compared in
extent, with any of the great often
sives the Teutons have attempted this
year. They have the greater advant-
age, however. of standing a fair
chance of hitting the Hun line in a
weak place and playing smash with it
until it can be reinforced. If these
offensives keep up, the Germans will
soon have lost all the ground they
gained in France this spring. AS for
the men the Huns have lost, there is
no replacing them. Today's dispatches
say they total six million.
