Men and women now growing old
have lived all their lives within the
influence of the contest between those
who sought to end the reign of
strong drink, with all it's accompany
ing sins and sorrows, and those whose
IDEAS of personal liberty and, gen.
orally, business interests, caused
them to resent and contest the every
inch of the resistless advance of the
reform.
Beyond doubt that great woman's
organization, the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, was the greatest

to Frances Elizabeth Willard, above
all other women, is due the greatest
credit-and she passed to her reward

THE WONDERFUL SOY-BEAN

The testimony of farmers goes to
show that where soy beans are plant
ed, the succeeding crop is from ten
to fifteen percent greater and in a
few years, the soil will produce fiji
ty percent more as a result of the
accumulation of nitorgen in the soil.
The hay beats COW pea hay, cattle
and horses like it better and it is
more nutritious. The soy-bean bulls
stems and leaves, left after threshing
are used for feeding livestock, and
some farmers feed nothing else to
work stock for roughage the year
round. Try some soy beans and test
them out. If fed for pork, the hogs
should be finally fattened on corn
or corn added to the soy-beans.

is HIS FOR ASKING

Soil and fertilizer experiments are
being tried year after year on test
fields in Graves, McCracken, Logan,
Muhlenberg, Shelby, Madison, Laurel
and Fayette Counties. In many of
these tests manure is returned to
plots in proportion to the crops they
produced. In this manner a practi-
cal system of farming is represented
in which it is determined what fertil-
izers are necessary in connection
with good farm practice.
A glance at the map will show that
the counties mentioned above repre-
sent the various types of soil on
which Kentucky farmers make their
living. If the everyday farmer is
anxious to buy fertilizers or lime
which will pay for their cost and ap-
plication he does not need to spend
years in experiments at home. He
can write to the College of Agricul-
ture at Lexington and ask for a copy
of the report on the results of the
soil experiment fields which brings
all records up to June 1918. 1t is
his for mere asking.

them as they did of every piece of

chinery and their stock generally.

Build Martin Boxes

Doubtless every one knows the val
ne of the purple martin which usu-
ally makes its appearance in Ken
lucky from April list to 18th, and
which is one of the greatest insect
destroyers of the. bird specie. And
since farmers of Kentucky lose thou
sands of dollars annually Though
the medium of the insect and since
it is most imperative that the blue
martin be encouraged to the fullest
extent to. remain with us, / feel that
in justice to the hungry, starving,
millions every house-keeper and ev-
cry farmer in Kentucky should at
once erect poles and place upon
same a simple and substantial mar
tin box as home for these most val
liable birds.
1t will only necessitate a little
time and the expenditure of a very
small amount of funds and will re-
suit in a saving of almost an unlim-
tied amount of foods and feeds.
Therefore please do not put it off
or ''let George do it," but begin today
the erection of homes for these busy,
useful and badly needed birds.

oCALA WON'T CHANGE TIME

At the meeting of the board Of
trade last night. it was resolved that
the city council make the present
eastern time the official time of Ocala
and disregard daylight saving time,
which goes into effect Sunday morn
ing. While the council will not act
before Tuesday night, there is little
doubt that it will accede to the re-
quest of the board of trade, as the
people are evidently overwhelmingly
in favor of its so doing.
Daylight saving time will go into
effect Sunday morning at 2 o'clock.
At that hour all the government Of
fees, railroad and telegraph lines in
the United States, and everything else
except those communities which like
Ocala have the independence to act
for themselves, will set their clocks
ahead an hour. The railroad trains
on and after that time will leave their
terminals an hour sooner or try to
make it up on the road. as they did
a year ago.
In Ocala the postoffice and tele-
graph Offices will open and close an
hour sooner. to conform with railroad
time. Postmaster Rogers and Man
ager Sage of the Western Union will
try to obtain permission to have their
hours set back to conform to local
time, but they cannot act until the
council acts, and it is not certain that
their requests will be granted.
While this arrangement will put
Ocala on double time, it need not
cause much trouble. People had bet
ter keep their clocks and watches on
local time, and bear in mind that rail
road time is an hour ahead. This will
cause some inconvenience, but not
near so much as getting up an hour
to soon in the morning and having ar
entirely superfuous hour in the after.
noon.
For the convenience of the public
the Star will run a railroad time card
showing the arriving and leaving time
for trains according to both daylight
time and local time.
