The Ocala Star says that cit is
doubtful if any man in America
has more personal friends than
Mr.. Roosevelt. " The Herald
thinks there is no doubt about it.
Many of his warmest personal
friends are "dyed-in-the-woo "
Democrats who would not vote for
him for president, merely because
of his political principles; and
there are other Democrats who
would vote for him regardless of
politics.

Now there is much talk about
eating horse meat. Why should
it not be eaten? The Mosaic law
would prohibit it, because the
horse has no cloven foot; but,
don't we eat with avidity hogs,
squirrels, opossums and other ami
mails, all of which are prohibited
by Old Testament law?

hoped that the Governor will
stand firm in maintaining the
Florida fish laws, which, at best
are sufficiently lax. Large fishing
concerns are urging that these

to their plea. The Governor very
properly objects to what is too ev-

proposition which it is claimed
will practically ruin the Florida
fishing industry. Our fishing in

Dear Editor. AS l am not so

We have a band now of IS, so we
have plenty of music, our time is

would whip the Kaiser, which we
will do before we quit. We have
it soft here to what we will when
we leave here. Have Saturday
afternoon off and all day Sunday.
They have fine park here and
lakes; l was out to one of the
lakes last Sunday a week and
had nice ride on a launch which
was sure grand, and last Sunday
was out to Minnehaha Falls, a
fine park, with all kinds of wild
animals, and fine music. The Ar

Seamen and Mechanics

Postmaster James Coday is in
receipt Of the following from F.
NJ, Wilson. commanding officer
of the US. Navy Recruiting Sta
ton at st. Louis:
June 10, 1918.
D>ar Postmaster:
New instructions just received
enable us to place on waiting or.
ders, at our discretion, men who
are needed at home for a few
weeks longer to help with farm
work. ETC., the only condition be-
ing that they enlist in one GER.
tain rating-that of seaman sec.
Ond class.
The reason for this is that
there is not quite as urgent need
for seamen as for some of the
other ratings especially men in
the engineering corps who start
as tiremen and work their way
up through the various branches
of the engineering department.
Therefore, Postmaster, you
can offer to place on indefinite
waiting orders, men who are not
quite ready to leave, they to re.
turn home after enlistment at
this Station to wait until further
orders.
There is, also, an especially
pressing demand for gasoline
engine mechanics for duties in
connection with the repair and
upkeep of aircraft motors. TO be
eligible men must have had some
practical experience with gas en-
glnes or must have a fair techni
cal education covering internal
combustion motors. Mem &C.
copied in this rating are given
three months free schooling with
full pay. Instruction will cover
all the latest types of aeroplane
motors, including the famous
Liberty" Yours very truly,
