GOING TO HAVE
A LIVE GAME
Girls of OcaIa and Sanford Basket
Ball Teams at the High School
Grounds Friday Afternoon

All the high school pupils and
teachers and their friends are looking
forward with great interest to the
basket ball game between their girls
and the Sanford high school girls,
which will occur at the school grounds
Friday, beginning at $3.50 p. m.
Sanford is trying for the state
championship this year, and tho the
Ocala girls have a most neighborly
feeling for them, that will not pre-
vent their doing their best to beat
them.
Mr.. Robert Connor, with the Ocala
high school for two years, but now
with the Sanford school, is coaching
the Sanford team, and probably teach
ing them some of the tactics that won
the Ocala girls so many victories.
Both teams are very confident. Our
people should turn out in full force
and give, our girls hearty backing
up.

Temple and dispel our gloom.
Billy Clifford and his minstrel
maids will be there with an enter

a pessimist and cause a man with a
boil on his neck to forget his troubles.
Billy and his bunch are well known
to US. They have been here oft before
and never fail to paint our solemn
visages with smiles. They need paint
ing this year worse than ever, for
there is nothing but smiles to paint
them with.
"Over There" as may be judged by
its name, is a seasonable show, as
well as most amusing one It should
have good audience to judge its
merits.

WHY WE SHOULD
CONSERVE OUR WHEAT

Editor Star: Judging from your
editorial in Mondays Star, it appears
that you have an idea that by our ad-
vertisement which appeared in the
same issue of the Star, we are trying
to create in the minds Of the people
the impression that they must dis
continue the consumption of wheat
breads altogether. This is a mistake.
however, the food administration is
asking the jobber to limit his sales
on -four to the retailer, and in turn.
is asking the jobber to advise the re-
taller to limit his sales on the same
article to the consumer, and at the
same time plead with them to eat
more corn products.
The food administration does not
expect or want the American people
to do without white bread, but it does
want them to conserve it. And If
they do, there is no reason why we
should not have enough wheat to 60
around. We would suggest that white
bread be eaten once a day and bread
made from cornmeal should be served
at the other two meals. Then, too,
there is a mixed -four known as pam
cake -four. This is combination Of
wheat, rice and corn -four and makes
the incest kind of pancakes, wafhes
and mullins. The public must not get
excited and try to buy more -four
than is needed for their present
wants. No patriotic American is
going to hoard food products.

MEETING
FRIDAY AFTERNOON

The stockholders of the Marion
County Fair and Agricultural Asso-

Fair Association will hold meeting
at the Board of Trade room Friday

these meetings will depend whether
we shall have fair this year or not.
The Star would advise those of our
citizens who believe in the fair to at
tend and encourage the stockholders
to keep up the work. This is not a
good time to be giving up any bene-
ficial public institution.
