s100 LIBERTY BOND
WILL Be WORTH S1o5
At MATURITY DATE
And they Will Have Caused No Sleep
less Nights at Any
Time.

Few persons purchasing the present
issue Of Liberty Loan Bonds realize
that If they continue to hold the bonds
to maturity the total amount of I'M
compounded interest they will receive
from every 800 bond will be approx
mately only SIS less than the original
s1O0 they paid for the bond.
This, however, is the case, as the
bonds bear Az per cent interest and
run to 1888, 20 years. Each years
interest is S4.25, so that at the end Of
20 years the total will be $50 on every
800 bond. Then when the time of
maturity comes the owner gets back
his full 800, thus receiving $135 for
his original 800 payment
And during the years of the bonds
life he has an investment which will
never keep him awake nights worry
ing. He is as certain as it is possible
to be certain of anything in human af-
fairs that on interest dates the inter
est will be paid, and that in 1888 the
United States Treasury will have
money ready for paying the principal
Further, during the period that the
government is his debtor, the bond
holder will enjoy the satisfaction of
knowing he has done patriotic duty,
in addition to the concrete and tangi-
BILE satisfaction derived from knowl-
edge that he possesses the best invest
ment into which money was ever put.
At every and all times during the loan
term the bond is as good as the day he
bought it or will present it for re-
demption in the coin of the country.
Fine for Heirs.
In what better form would it be pos
sible to pass on wealth to children and
grandchildren than in Liberty Bonds
1t is impossible 10 conceive of a more
safe and desirable legacy than one of
government bonds. Provision has
been made that any of the present is
sue of bonds which have been owned
by any person continuously for six
months prior to his death, and which
constitute part of his estate, shall be
receivable by the United States at par
and accrued interest in payment of
any estate or inheritance tax imposed
by the United States under any law,
present or future.
In framing the act authorizing the
loan Congress endeavored to include
every feature calculated to make the
bonds popular with the great mass of
people, and useful economically in
years to come. On amounts under
$4,000 the bonds are free from taxa
ton, so that the small holder is as
sured of getting every penny of his

This southern hero, states

Wis. This southern hero, states
man and gentleman, was doubt
misguided, but never a traitor.
The agitators of the south, es
pecially who never fought, would
have burned Abraham Lincoln at
the stake, but the present men
of affairs, even in Dixie" re-
gard him as martyr. When l
hear a man so bad off to fight, /
know he is likely to attain a dis
honorable old age, for he will
perish on the firing line. Nearly
every man I hear raving in this
region, is either clustering
coward, or base profteer.
Permit me to thank Mrs.
Monterey F. Hurt-Dohoney, of
Elida, N. M , my teacher of BY
gone days, for a service flag
with a stars. She is of chival-
rous and valient lineage. aer
brother, Leslie Combs Hurt, was
a gallant soldier, and every son
of Lucien and Rollin Hurt are
doing prodigies of valor. l tell
some of this clustering crowd
around me that we don't tell
what ought to be done for de-
mocracy, we merely fight. A
livery stable or soda fountain
loafer, proclaims himself valient
as Roosevelt, or Billy Sunday,
and don't argue the matter.
AS a matter of tardy justice,
permit me to pay q tribute to
the late Jim Polk Dohoney. He
and the late William Stewart
were among the keenest witted
men I ever met. Both were
warm-hearted and to me were
friends. For some rea-
son, both were poor financiers,
which seems the lot of nearly all
humorists. A man is usually es-
teemed according to his bank &C
count: even some of our minis
tiers regard the soul of a capital
list with the Pearl of greatest
Price. A fellow with one COW,
one hog, no fine raiment and no
bank account, is classed as hav-
ing a very documentary spark of
divinity; while a Shylock is re-
garded as one of the anointed.
Columbus was called a crazy
sailor, John Howard Payne never
had a home; and Lazarus proba-
bly, starved at table of Dives.
No wonder "The righteous are
cast down on every side while
the vilest men are exalted"
Men under As, all over this re-
gion, are ranting about slack ers,
towards and traitors, but what
are they?

pride to realize that my native
Commonwealth still heeds the
call of its country as the voice of
God-as she has done in every

the Revolution Kentucky was
part of the Virginia DOMAIN, as
Tennessee was portion of North

scions Of the Volunteer State,
acquitted themselves nobly; prov
ing that valor and heroism are
not confined to any section, state

"damyankees," shed glory on

this was not a waning prestige.

"Oh h, a niger with a bow

did nobly. Very few banks that
these marauders robbed did so

ORGANIZATION OF THE
AUTO ASSOCIATION

The Ocala Motor Club will be or
ganized Thursday evening at 7:30 at
Board of Trade rooms and will be af-
filiated with the Florida State Auto
mobile Association, and the Ameeri-
can Automobile Association. C. F.
Asenheimer and T. C. Burbage, field
representatives of the Florida State
Automobile Association, are organiz-
ing the club.
The Florida State Automobile Asso-
ciation is rapidly becoming one of the
most important state branches of the
A A. A. Active local motor clubs have
been organized in all principal cities
of Florida except Ocala.
There are now about 1,500 affiliated
motor clubs in the United States.
About 900 of them maintained perma-
nent secretaries, officers and tourist
bureau headquarters, where maps of
routes and important, up-to-date tour
ing information is kept on file Pros
pective tourists go to these clubs for
information, and them meet members
and discuss prospective tours.
The organization of the Ocala Mo-
tor club will directly connect this
city with all these sources of informa-
tion. The Ocala Motor club will be
given direct representation on the
Touring Information Board, the Leg
islative Board and the Good Roads
Board of the A. A. A. The club will
be given representation on the same
committees or boards of the F. B. A.

national organizations touring infor-
nation which will be guaranteed to
be correct by the local club. Such
information will consist of descrip.
tlons of the kind of roads and their
conditions, the points of interest, the
| hotels, garages, beaches, fishing
grounds, hunting grounds, and any in
formation that would be of interest
to the prospective tourist whom we
invite to come. All this information,
being disseminated through the state

ton, will be recognized everywhere
as authentic information. The A. A.

UNDER DIFFICULTIES

The Star is issued under difficulties
today. To comply with the fuel ad-
ministration's request, yesterday, we
shut off our linotype as soon as the
daily went to press. Consequently,
there was an unusually large amount
of work this morning, but the motor
that runs the typesetting machine got
out of order for the first time in two
or three years, and wasn't put back
before 1920. Then the wires north
OF Jacksonville were disarranged by
the storm and our dispatches trickled
in an hour or two behind time, so we
are lucky to be able to print paper
at all.

OCALA AT NEW ORLEANS
DIR. Chipman Helped Represent Flor

in the Crescent City

DR.. j. F. Chapman, veterinary in
spector in tick eradication work foI
Marion, Alachua, Levy and Putnam
counties, returned home Monday from
the conference of employees of the
bureau of animal industry held at
New Orleans last week.
He was loyal to his headquarters
city and carried an Ocala pennant
which was prominently displayed en-
route and then used to decorate the
assembly hall.
None of the other state delegations
had any decorative features so the
Florida crowd took advantage of the
opportunity to advertise their state
and headquarters cities.
They also had yell which was
given just before the first session
convened and served to put "pep"
into the conference. The New Or
leans papers gave the Florida boys a
nice notice for their enthusiasm. The
yell was as follows:
"Who are we? B. A. /. boys
"What do we do? Dip that tick.
"What for? To eradicate disease.
where? In Florida, Florida" !"
They also let the public know that
cattle fever ticks are going to be a
scarce parasite in Florida after two
years, by giving the following yell
when the result of the Lake county
compulsory cattle dipping election
was announced to the convention.
Ticks are on the run.
Lake county went over the top.

Dr. Chapman was one of the speak
crs at the conference, his experience

ficers, and they asked him to give the
$50 other inspectors the benefit of
that experience.
