THIRD WARD USED
FOR A CATTLE RANGE

Editor Star: / don't remember II
the Star was among the publications
which last year counseled US as a
patriotic duty to raise war gardens;
anyway, we raised 'em. After the
women and children Of the third ward
had worked early and late to do their
bit-just as their peas, potatoes,
etc., were about ready to harvest,
along came herd of fifty wild cows
and in the twinkling of an eye, which
being interpreted means about q
week, all their spuds had gone
glimmering to the denition bow-wows.
We tried hard to get the attention Of
the fathers, but nothing was done and
after all was eaten up the drove dis
appeared.
While there is life there is expec-
tation, so again this year we faith
fully planted over again. Last Tues
day night the same old herd came
back, and after spending the night In
C. Y. Miller's garden, and completely
destroying it. concluded to finish the
performance by a little display Of
humor. So. to add good measure, and
sort of rub it in, one Of the herd, q
rangy old longhorn COW, leaped over
Mr.. Miller's front lawn fence and at
tackled him on his own doorstep. By
the exercise of rare skill Mr.. Miller
saved his life by seizing her horns
and after she had nearly killed him he
was able to get his gun and protect
his family.
Last night this same herd broke IN
and ate up the entire years work OF
Adam Johnson. colored, IN the shape
of peas, potatoes. etc. So the Lord
will have to provide for this poor
nigger. At the present writing he
has them shut up In my barnyard
awaiting the pleasure Of the authors
ties. But the pound master, tho do
ing his best, cannot get all this herd
to that inaccessible pound yard, and
if they get away they viii certainly
devastate somebody's garden tonight,
very likely some poor widow ike my
self.
There is a great deal of excellent
pasture now. in the city of Ocala, and
when supplemented by war gardens
it makes mighty fine beef, but we who
pay city taxes are wondering if there
is still God in Israel. or any degree
of potency IN city ordinances

WOMEN TO Do THE
EASY WORK
Men, Says the Government, Must Get
Out and Take Jobs Appro-
pirate to their Muscle

Florida is about to see a great
change in many of it's mercantile es-
Establishments, as well as in the stands.
From now on the government expects
every man to do his duty in the war
work, and they do not expect any
man of military age to hold position
which woman can hold. during the
duration of the war. For this reason,
Robert Gamble. Florida director. u.
S. Public Service Reserve, is notifying
the various people through the state,
such as Office buildings. department
stores and other large institutions, to
replace their man-labor as quickly
as possible with women-labor. Ele~
vators in the large Office buildings of
Jacksonville are now being manned
by girls. AS you enter some of the
restaurants, you will be greeted by a
smiling girl waitress and very short
ly every job of that nature will be
held by the fair sex.
The call for labor is so great that
the state advisory labor board, repre-
senting the U. S. Department of La
Dor, is about to issue an order MAX
ing it necessary for every restaurant
and hotel to release their man-labor,
and for every public chauffeur. yard
man, butler and men in this class Of
work, to Immediately secure positions
in war work.
Mr.. Gamble. in talking this situa-
tion over, states that the new draft
law will be in eeffct within very
few weeks anyway, and that the bus
mess men might as well prepare
right now for the change that is COM
ing. The government quota of unskill-
ed labor. which they expect to take
from this state during the months of
August and September was estimat-
ed at 2,520. but wire just received
from Mr.. Gamble increases this
amount.
The "work or fight order is being
enforced and the government inspec
tors are now starting to take Mr..
Stacker and Mr.. Loafer, and send him
to the front and putting him where
he can do his family and the govern
ment some good.
Citizens Of this vicinity. who know
of able-bodied men who are not
working, between the ages of 18 and
SIS, will confer a favor not only to
their city. their state. but their gov
ernment and should report the names
of these parties by the first mail to
Mr.. Robert Gamble. Florida Director,
u. 8. Public Service Reserve, Cham
Der of Comlaerce building, Jackson
vile, Fla. and he assures them that
the matter will be given prompt at
tention.
