new CIRCUIT TO
TAKE PLACE OF
nOLD RELIABLE"
,
Minnesota to Take Place For
merIy Held by Lincoln;
Added Money Plan
to Be Tried. }
BY H. K. Whitfield.

From the looks Of things at the
present time, the eOld Reliable"
-Nebraska-South Dakota cir
cult is a dead one for the coming
season. A meeting of representa-
tives of the Iowa State Fair, the
South Dakota State Fair, Sioux City
Interstate Fair and the Minnesota
State Fair was held at Sioux City.
Formerly this circuit has-comprised
the towns of Des Moines, Lincoln.
Huron and Sioux City, but Jas none
of the Lincoln contingent we're at
the meeting, that place was dropped.
Minnesota was taken on this year.
and the circuit will be known as the
Iowa Minnesota-South Dakota cir
cult.
The added money" plan, which
was tried out at Huron last year,
will be used throughout the circuit.
Entry fees to the early closing
events will be 3 per cent. payable in
installments of / per cent each. Entry
fees to the late closers will be $40
at the time entry is made with a
starting fee Of S., payable the day

turity, to be raced during the Iowa

present time worth $1,275.2l, with
another payment of SIS due in May,
in addition to the starting fee of
$40. A total of "a youngsters are
still eligible to start. The list of
sires represented by the colts is
rather interesting, inasmuch as most
of them are western-owned horses.
Iowa Todd, 2:04M, has four sons
named IN the bunch, with dams by
Dale A&worthy, The Earl, Strath-
berry, 2:0414, and George Muscovite,
2.08A. 1t looks as though some of
that quartet ought to turn out to be
a speedy wiggler. Albingen, 2:l8, is
represented by two FLIES, one out
of mare by Guy Wilkes and the
others dam by Betterton. Direc-
tum Spier, 2:l1A, is represented by
two, one of them being filly out
of Miss Nutonia, dam Of Mabel
Trask, 2:0lM; also the dam of
seven other trotters and two pac-
ers. Other well known western
stations represented are The Expo
nent, 2:11A; The Northern Man,
2:06H; Baron Lac, 2:11H; Jack
Archdale, 2:loA, and Blue Grass
Prince, 2:20M.
The Tri-State fair will be a new
one in the field this year. 1t will
be held at Cedar Rapids, Ia, and IS
practically the same as the one held
for several years at Marion, la.
The annual meeting of the Clay
Center (Nebraska) Fair association
was originally scheduled for Octo-
Der, but owing to the influenza was
postponed to the first week in Jam
uary. The old officers of the asso-
citation, including R. A. Byrkete sec
rotary, and N. M. Buchtel, superin-
tendent of speed, were reelected.
Dates for the 1919 fair have not
been announced.
The Greenwood County Agricul-
tural association held its annual
meeting at Eureka, Kan, a couple
of weeks ago and elected William
Bays secretary. The last four years

wood county, but big plans are
made for the 1919 fair and race
meet.

MARION LEGION NEEDS
MORE MEMBERS

Marion County Post No. / of the
American Legion meets tonight at
o'clock in the Board of Trade room.
The most important matter to be tax
en- up at the meeting is that of taking
some steps to increase the member
ship of the organization in this coun-
ty. Marion county has failed to get
the membership that it should have
obtained during the September drive.
In addition to the fact that every ex-
service man in the county should be a
member Of the legion. it is important
that the membership of the post be
as large as possible, for the reason
that representation in the state con-
vention and the national convention
depend upon it.
At the state convention each post
is entitled to two delegates and two
alternates, and to one additional dele
gate for each additional one hundred
members, or fraction thereof over and
above one hundred members. Repre-
sentation in the national convention is
also dependent on the number of paid
up memberships in the state conven-
ton. Among the most important
questions affe cGRg ex-servics men to
be discussed and voted upon st the
Minneapolis convention, is the subject
of bonuses. At the st. Louis meet
ing resolution was adopted demand
ing an increase in the bonus offered
by the federal government, and mo-
ton was unanimously carried, laying
this resolution on the table. The idea
of the st. Louis meeting was that it
was not yet the proper time for the
American Legion to go on record as
fsvoring any of the various bonus
plans proposed; that such action as
the American Legion might desire to
take, on this most important subject,
should be after general demobiliza-
tion, so that the fullest expression
might be taken at the November con-
vention. Every post has been earnest
l. urged to give careful consideration
to the subject of bonuses, so that the
delegates to the national convention
may attend with a complete under
standing Of the wishes of their con-
stituents.

You know. this picnic and dance

well as for those who make their
homes in town, and we would want to

all might have grand, glorious time
the memory of which would always
be a most pleasant recollection to
every one who helped to make this a
success-every one who was present

every one else to do the same.
/ Let the day be set to suit the ma,

who live i'm Ocala could be on hand al
most any day.
Il | think Thanksgiving day might be
a good time, or the 9th or 2Sth OF
December, as many of our soldiers are
out of the county, or are busily engag
ed at their work. They might gel
home for Thanksgiving. as that is 9
holiday or for the other dates men
toned, as business is usually ight
just after Christmas day and many
could get off for day or two at tina,
time.
I would like for the stores II
Ocala to close at twelve on the day o,
the picnic and remain closed till sup
per time or not open at all after Il
O'Clock, and the places of business il
the county should close that day tot
and not reopen until the following

CELEBRATION FOR
: MARION SOLDIERS
Some Excellent Suggestions Made by
a Lady Resident Of
Our City

Editor Star: Knowing the genuine
interest you feel in doing something
by which to show our great and sin
ct.re appreciation to our Marion coun-
ty soldier boys who have returned
home from across the water or from
the various camps, and having given
this matter some thought myself,
decided to make a few suggestions
along this line. There is nothing too
good for our noble soldiers who sac
riflced so much. underwent privations
of every sort and even risked their
lives land many gave their lves) for
the safety of America. / am more
than willing to do my part towards
lifelong obligations to them and
thank them and are proud to honor
them IN every possible manner.
think great big, real county pic
mic would be nice. believe the entire
county would love to "come in" on
this thing and / think every one
should be given the opportunity to do
so. By having a county basket picnic
in honor of our Marion county soldier
boys, those who went "over there" and
those who were kept "over here" eve
rybody in the county could come. with
well filled baskets and would feel that
not only Ocala, but the whole county,
was happy to have the chance to help
to give our soldier boys "good time. +"
Ocala is central location and the
fair grounds would be the best place
to have this picnic. There every one
would feel "at home" and could be so
comfortable. Plenty of room for the
people, plenty of tables on which to
serve the dinner, plenty of space for
cars and buggies, plenty of room for
the horses (many could be put in the
stalls) and plenty of city water for
imam and beast" There are plenty of
seats, too. for the children. One could
not select a better place for a large
gathering of this kind.
If it were desired, there could be
some speeches. but my experience has
been that too much oratory at large
ar public picnics is not one of the
most enjoyable features of the day.
Let the dinner be served between
II and o'clock. as the country people
especially the children, are hungry at
that hour. The dinner could be served
on the tables which are already in the
buildings, or out of doors on the
ground. if some wished to do so. Have
Ocala furnish plenty of ice water in
clean tubs or barrels. Let everything
be free for that day; no charge for
anything.
Let every one feel that every one is
especially welcome. Let spirit o1
cordiality and hospitality prevail
throughout the day and night, until
all return to their respective homes
with happy recollection of most en-.
jCyable time. Let the town people
mingle with the people from the coun.
try. | have seen some gatherings
where this was not done.
When town people attend gather.
ings in the country, they are usually
given cordial welcome. This feeling
is not always reciprocated when coun
try people come to town.
If the boys want game of baseball
after dinner, they could have it out il
front of the grandstand.
There is always plenty of food lef
after serving the dinner to feed tht
crowd at another meal. So all wht
wished could remain at the fail
