WE CAN MAKE
THE MONEY WORK

1t seems TO be the impression among
many of those who are opposed to
bonds that we must pay the whole
any help-that we must stand fiat
footed and not even swing our arms
10 help make the jump.
If our friends will consult any bank
er, they will find that money in circu-
latiOn is always made to work-that
its power is what makes the wheels
OF business go around.
If we borrow 81 100000 to build
roads with, we must pay per cent
interest. But as soon as the money
Is in the bank it will begin to pay US
4 per cent interest, and will do so as
long as any of it remains unused.
Also and at the same time, sink
ing fund must be created to pay off
the bonds. Every time an installment
Of this sinking fund is deposited in
the bank it will begin to draw inter
est, coming back to the people of the
county to help them pay off their debt.
Now, don't get it into your head
that the Marion county bankers will
have this money to use, and are there
fore interested any more than any
ether citizens. They will have nothing
to do with it except handling the mon
ey in transfer, none of it will remain
in their vaults more than few days,
and they will pay interest on it while
it is there.
We should also consider the large
sum of money-sixty to seventy thou
send dollars-paid every year to re-
Lair the roads, which are becoming
worse in spite of the repairs. We are
bound to save at least thirty-five thou
sand dollars year on that.
Some anti-bond writer has prophe-
sled that the cost of the work will
run the millage up to 80, or g cents
en- the dollar, in addition to our other
| taxes.
The people in favor of bonds would
| rot advocate nor the bankers finance
work calling for such tax. They
figure on an addition of 8 or at the
most 10 mills, and this will steadily
decrease after the first two or three
years.
Isn't it worth that to have the bet
ter roads?

Armenia, because he knew the Amer
lean people were opposed to it. Last
l.: an American general, who made a
trip thru Asia Minor this summer, re-
ported against the United States tax
ing charge of any of the affairs of
that region in any shape or form. Our
Gear friend the Herald has simply
tilted against another windmill. Let
the Herald say straight out-does it
want America to declare war against
Great Britain or Japan, for that's the
only way to take Egypt from the one
or Shantung from the other.

L. -
Friday afternoon, the door Of our
sanctum filled entirely. and looking up
we viewed a stalwart shape clad in
khaki and topped off with GENIAL
scountenanee, which could be- none
other than the personality belonging
to that clever old-timer, Allie Angle,
Il is Captain Allie Angie now; since
the last time he came Nn to see us he
has been thru the war and the decor
alton on his breast shows that he has
been thru two big drives during the
| twelve months he was abroad. They
tell it on Allie, who had way, funny
| to other people, but very annoying tc
him, of missing all good things by 9
hairbreadth, that when the war broke
out, he rushed to volunteer, fearing
the scrap would be over before he saw
any real service. But the German:
| were more accommodating than Flor
| ida politicians, and stayed on the jol
until he was in range. How they sue
ceeded in missing him we know mo-
| for he is as wide as door, not small
door at that. Capt. Angle is on dut!
at Camp Gordon and does not know
when he will be discharged, as tn,
army is rather shy of officers now. HI
is always welcome in Ocala, especial!
at the Star office He is in Florida OF
a brief leave of absence, and afte
seeing his friends will return to dut.

On investigation, we find that the
report about mouldy bread at the
Florida College for Women head a
reason. A friend in straight commu-
nication with the college says there
was a tendency to- bolshevism among
the help. which resulted in a tempo
rary arrangement of household af-
fairs. It's all right; no harm done,
but there are several Marion county
girls up there and the Star is their
uncle and wants to know about every
thing that happens to them.

but to apply to all performances. If
the people of Ocala want only the
best plays, let them give every bad
one a severe frost. That and the
subsequent criticism, will soon make
the men who put shows on the road,
keep the bad ones away from here;
and nobody will be any better pleased
with such result than the manager
Of the Temple and the dramatic
writer" of this paper.

We understand that Mr.. John D.
Robertson's petition for mayor will
soon be started on its rounds. During
the trying days of last year and the
year before, Mr.. Robertson may have
been loyal to his country, but, to say
the least. he kept his loyalty carefully
concealed We should not think that
any patriotic voter would care to put
his name on Mr.. Robertson's petition.
There are three towns in this country,
Chicago, Milwaukee and Charleston,
which have been very un-American
in their choice of mayors since the
war. We would hate to see Ocala add
ed to Ehe list.

GOOD AND BAD SHOWS

The Star has been the recipient of
up of a recent road show that appear
ed here. We are always glad of crit
icism from our friends. It often keeps
us from repeating a mistake. Crit
icism from a real friend we highly
value, and even that from an enemy is
cften instructive.
But we would like to remind our
friends that they. too, owe the public
a duty. When there is anything in
play that is offensive to their sense
of decency, they should get up and
walk out. People often sit thru play
that they consider bad because they
cont want to make themselves con-
spicuous by leaving. A couple brave
enough to leave at such times naight
encourage others to do so, and thereby
set the stamp of public disapproval
on it-a stamp, by the way, that would
be welcomed by both the manager of
the theater and the newspaper critics.
The public generally is not aware
that when the manager of theater
makes a date for play he cannot
cancel it without a heavy forfeit;
neither is it aware that a "show"
often makes changes in its program
between one town and another.
Manager Bennett doesn't like rotten
shoes. He has been known on learn
ing that a show was rank to tell his
patrons when they bought tickets
what it was, and that they had better
10 a HIT ho hnS hxy
perience that such a statement from
him proves a drawing card with
many, and on the whole he had better
keep quiet.
The show referred to came here
with good recommendations, and as
he is busy in the box Office during a
performance, it's little that he knows
about play until it is over. When it
comes To writing criticism on a
play, we have found it the best policy
to watch the house. If the play suits
a great majority of the audience, we
think it unfair to give it an unfavor-
able write-up. There is wide range
in the taste of theater goers, and we
prefer, the consensus of opinion.
We have also q disposition to favor
actors and actresses as much as pos
sible. They are men and women out
in the world trying to make living
in a profession that is bright enough
/ on the outside but that has great dis
comfort and much hard work on the
inside. When we write a severe crit
icism on one of their plays, or even
/ make a sighting remark. it goes or
ahead and makes their lives harder
The men and women you see on the
stage don't write the plays nor put
them on the boards. They often have
to say and do things not only repug
nant to them but that they know are
4 obnoxious to the public.
i People of today do not know hov
much the theatrical profession ha'
improved in forty years. Things wer
once done and said on the stage, ant
! received as a matter of course, tina
would empty any theater in fev
minutes now. In our opinion, the per
. formances of today are much superio
to those of ten years ago. The frs
, play at the Temple theater, immed
; lately after it was built, containeI
one of the broadest breaches of decen
cy we hever saw on the stage, but j
was passed over without comment
; for "the sake of art"

Mr.. J. c. Luning, our state treas
urer, was in the city today, on visit
to the industrial school. His time was
very limited, but he made the Star
and some of his other friends brief
calls before leaving for Tallahassee on
the noon train. Marion county appre-
cIates Mr.. Luning and will probably
give him a good majority in the COM
ing primary.

Perhaps we might ask the Star,
Lut with no hope of securing specific
reply, what is meant by the PROPOSE
ton for America to assume a man.
/ date over Armenia, as urged by Great
Britain and France, under the League
OF Nations covenant, unless it means
that American troops are to be sent
toethat country to protect the Armen-
-ians from the Turks? The proposition
has been made and is being consider
ed and would be accepted, if the
league covenant were adopted as the
administration wanted it to be.-Mi.

We have read the covenant of the
league of nations with great attention
and fail TO find in it anything requir
ing the United States to assume th,
mandate over any nation or section o.

that the wishes of the people. of tn,
former Turkish empire shall be con
suited in putting them under tn,
mandate of any nation. 1t is said tina

pie of Turkey, desire the Unite,
States to become their mandatory
also, that Great Britain and Franc
want America to assume the office. Al
this is complimentary to America, bu

in the course of his argument against
bonds, made a statement about a
matter that he probably did not en-
tirely understand. He told of tract

an acre. If Mr.. Stuart had investi-
gated the matter he would have found
that the land was handicapped by
legal complications, and they were
the cause of its selling at such a low
price. At any rate, tracts of land on
the same road, much further from
the city, have sold in the past few

ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof As This Should Convince
Any South Paris Citizen.

The public endorsement of local citi-
zen is the best proof that can be pro-
duced. None better, none stronger, can
be had. When q man comes forward
and testifies to bis fellow-citizens, ad-
dresses his friends and neighbors, you
may be sure he is thoroughly convinced
or he would not do 80. Telling ones ex.
perience when 1t is for the public good
is an act of kindness that should be ap-
preciated. The following statement given
BY resident of South Paris adds one
more to the many cases of Home En-
dorsement which are being published
about Doan's Kidney Pills. Read 1t.
w. B. Russell, % Gothic St., South
Paris, says: II used Doan's Kidney Pills
for lumbago and sharp pains across my
kidneys, which annoyed me very much.
Doan's Kidney Pills were highly recon-.
niended so I got box at the Howard

that took Doan's as needed and every.
time 1 used them they gave me good
results"

A Big Pack of Sweet Corn.

No one needs to be told that the sweet
! corn crop this year, In spite of the dry
weather of August which caused some
apprehension, was one of the best ever
harvested, and the weather conditions
have been favorable for getting 1t into
the cans, many of the fields remaining
untouched by frost, and as green the
trst of October as In July.
The factory of the Burnham & Morrill,
Co. at South Paris finished the seasons
run on corn only few days ago, with a
record pack of 97S,00O cans, besides six
car loads of ears in the husk which were
shipped to Portland to be cared for dur
ing the rush. This would amount to
about 100000 cans more, making well
toward eleven hundred thousand cans
raised within the territory of this fac
tory.
Husking machines and an outfit of car
riers and automatic machinery reduced
the crew necessary to run the factory
about one-third, and worked we'll
throughout the run.
The acreage was about double that of
some previous years. One one-acre lot
brought 1926 20 to the grower, and one
sevsn-acre lot s1,11S,00, while all got
good returns. Some over 0,000 will
be paid the growers for the corn deliv-
cred to this factory.
The factory has now started on the
canning of apples, with prospects of a
good run.

Press Association Meeting.

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur z. Forbes were
in Portland Thursday and Friday for
the annual meeting of the Maine Press
association. It is safe to reckon this
meeting as one of the best the association
has had in some years. A number were
added to the membership, and the busi-
ness and discussions while largely in-
formal, were practical and valuable.
Nor was there neglect OF the social
side of the meeting, which is of decided
value, even though lightly regarded by
some. There was banquet Thursday
night at the Elks' Club, at which the
out-of-town members were guests OF the
three Portland dailies, the Press, the
Argus, and the Representatives,
This banquet was from the standpointi
of both body and mind, wholly satisfy
ing and acceptable.
Speakers who favored the association
at the banquet and other meetings were
Don G. Seitz, business manager OF the
New York World, First Assistant Post
master General ]. @. Rooms, and Carter
B. Keene of the post Office department, 9
native OF Freedom, each OF whom had
something Of importance and value &c
say.
Friday afternoon, after the association
had completed its session, the memberl
were guests of the Portland Chamber Of
Commerce on an automobile ride abou,
the city and South Portland.
Taken al together, there was more o.
the old.time atmosphere about this meet
ing Of the association than In any pre-
vious meeting for some years.
