AMERICAN LEGION
MEET NEXT WEEK
Marion County Post COnvenes Thurs
day, September A, in Board of
Trade Room in Ocala

The next regular meeting of Mar
ion County Post No. l, of the Ameri-
can Legion, official organization of the
men who were in the army, navy and
marine corps during the world war,
will be. held in the Board of Trade
room, Ocala, on Thursday, Sept. 4, at
2 p. m. In addition to steps that have
to be taken incident to getting the
local post under way, several bills
now before Congress affecting the
men who were in service will come up
for consideration at the meeting.
One of the bills to be considered is
the Sweet bill amending the war risk
insurance act. The bill proposes four
major changes in the present law.
These are:
i. An increase in the period of au~
tomato insurance. This amendment
automatically insures any person who
entered the service prior to Nov. IL,
1918, for 120 days after entrance in
the active service.
2. An increase in the basis of
awards in compensation cases to $65
when disability is total and tempo
rary, and to 500 when the disability
is total and permanent.
3. An increase in the class of ben
eficiaries of insurance to include
uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, broth
ers-in-law, sisters-in-law and persons
in loco parenthis.
4. The payment of converted in
surance, at the election of the insured,
either in one lump sum, or in SO or
more installments.
1t is believed by the National Ex-
ecutive Committee of the American
Legion that the proposed aemndment
should pass and that in addition there
to the law should be amended as fol-
lows:
To permit lump sum payments for
term insurance as well as for convert
ed insurance, and to place term in
surance exactly on the same basis, as
to payments, as converted insurance,
thus enabling a man who cannot now
afford to convert his insurance to have
the same advantage as the man who
is able to Immediately convert.
Another bill to be considered is that
of Congressman Morgan providing
homes for soldiers. The bill proposes
to create a government corporation OF
$100, 100000 capital, subscribed by
the federal government. The corpora
ton is to be authorized to make a
loan up to $4,000 to any honorably dis
charged soldier, seaman, or marine to
he used in the purchase of home. The
loans may run for a period of not ex-
ceeding sixty years, with interest at
3h per cent, the principal to be paid
by annual payments on the amortiza-
tiOn plan. This bill is in opposition to
the plan of Secretary Lane which
provides only for farm homes.

BOARD OF TRADE
Much Important Business to Come
Before the Next Meeting

before the Next
The next regular meeting of the
Board of Trade will be held Thursday
night, September IL, at o'clock, at
which time the members will be ask
ed to consider the constitution and by
laws of the Marion County Real Es-
tate Exchange. The board of gov
ernors of the trade body have recon-
nended that the Board of Trade en-
dorse the real estate exchange, and
are of the opinion that all realty mat
ters coming before the commercial
OIL ganization should be handled thru
the realty body. The idea is that the
real estate inquiries coming into the
Board of Trade shall be referred to
the secretary of the Real Estate Ex-
change, who shall give all members of
that organization an opportunity to
see them. The constitution of the ex-
change provides that all members
shall also be members of the Board Of
Trade. There is opposition to the
plan to turn over all inquiries to the
exchange, on the ground that a real
estate member of the trade body not
wishing to join the exchange should
have the privilege of seeing the in
quiries. Members of the Board of
Trade who wish to see copy of the
constitution and bylaws of the real
estate exchange can do so by calling
at the Board of Trade room.
Several other matters of impor-
tance will come before the Board Of
Trade on September IL.

CUTTING DOWN

JOHN L. CARNEY

Everybody in Ocala was shocked
today to hear that Mr.. John L. Carney
was dead at his home at Lake Weir,
having shot himself at 11:3O o'clock.
There are a number of conflicting
stories, but the following was received
by the Star over the phone from Mr..
Walter Mathews, who lives on the
Carney place:
Mr.. Carney was alone in his room
at the time. His sister, Mrs. Gray, of
Tampa, and the cook were the only
other persons in the house. They
heard the pistol go off and ran to Mr..
Carney's room, where they found him
on the floor with the pistol near him.
Death was almost instantaneous.
The fact of Mr.. Carney being shot
in the head with a pistol, infiicting a
mortal wound which took effect at
once, caused the impression that death
was intentional. But one of our ply
sicians who was present soon after the
shooting said that it was evidently ac-
cidental, caused by Mr.. Carney trying
to pull out a bureau drawer. The
drawer stuck, the bureau tipped over
and the pistol which was lying on top
the bureau, fell on the floor and was
discharged. Another report said the
wound was in Mr.. Carney's side.
There is no reason known to his
relatives and friends why Mr.. Carney
should have killed himself. He was in
good health and prosperous, and if he
had any great trouble it was unknown
to those nearest to him. Mr.. Carney
was one of the leading orange growers
of Florida. He came here from Ten.
nessee about thirty-five years ago and
was well-liked and highly respected
His death is heavy blow to his
friends

Not Go Up
(AssOciated Press)

Washington, Aug. 28.-Improve-
ment in the strike situation on the
Pacific coast was reported to the rail-
road administration today, although
traffic is still tied up at Los Angeles
and embargoes are in effect. 1t is un-
derstood that railroad brotherhood of
ficials have set a time limit for the
men to return to work and the rail-
road administration is waiting for ac-
tion by the unions before taking steps
to operate the lines.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, went
into conference here today with fif-
teen representatives of the railroad
unions, discussing President Wilson's
decision that there should be no gen.
eral increase in employees wages
while the government is combating
the high cost of living.
THE TINE LIMIT
Saturday morning has been set as
the time limit for the Pacific coast
railroad men to return to work; other
wise the brotherhods will support the
administration in an endeavor to ope-
rate trains, putting union men from
other sections to work in California.

We believe Woodrow Wilson has
stated that the draft for the League
of Nations could not be amended,
nor has it, rather the amendments
have neither strengthened or weak
ened the original draft.
It's principles remain the same and
the spirit of its teaching is eternal
True, few words have been added
as a matter of courtesy to ex-presi-
dent Taft and other great souls and
as suger coating to the pill that a
few Republican Senators, with con-
science and a constituency have to
swallow Even at the very best it
is little distasteful, but they must
take their medicine as it is the re-
viving principle for weakened hui
mainly and faltering civilization.
Some one has said that the repre-
sentatives of England and the United
States will control it.-certainly,
don't they control the world now?
Beyond the League of Nations, and
it may be even above it's the Lea
que of blood and the League of Ian
guage.
One thing is patent to our mind, if
Woodrow Wilson had acceded to
Italy's demands he would have re
moved the very foundation stones
from the temple.
Another truth the Spirit of Jeffer-
son expects to be able to place before
its readers constantly, the fact that
Woodrow Wilson is a wise master
builder of Democratic government,
"a reign of law, based on the con
sent of the governed and sustained
by the organized opinion of man
kind"

Winter

1t is needless to argue that the
body reaches winters end with low
cred strength. Evrybody knows it
does. And everybody knows that
with this coming of the seasons
change the body needs "spring tom
ic." Those who've been at grips
with influenza know further that in
their cases more toning and building
up will be needed now than ever.
Wentworth stands ready to fill the
bill. 1t steadies and strengthens the
nerves, whets the appetite, aids di-
gestion, rouss the liver, regulates the
bowels, restores restful sleep, BAN
ishes sick and nervous headache and
other aches and pains, builds up run
down systems. In doing this it be-
comes the best of spring tonics. No
need to dwell on this, either. Make
the test yourself-buy a bottle of
Wentworth and if its contents do
not tone and build you up in the way
described the druggist will hand your
dollar back.
Ask for Nerv- Worth Laxative Tab
lets. 25c box. Taken in connec-
