First Fake Boards

The Jews were responsible for the
first false boards that were ever worn.
so far as known. They did not wear
them themselves, but they caused the
Egyptians to do so. The Egyptians
had long gone with smooth faces, but
when the Jews came over to stay with
them. the people of the Nile quickly
absorbed the idea that bearded man
was associated with strength, nobility
of character and perhaps proves. So
it quickly came about that whenever
the Egyptians wanted to hold a cele-
bration In which certain persons were
to be exalted, the objects Of popular
acclaim wore false boards.

Mrs. Manly went to Sturgeon Bay,

there she was taken i'll and a surgical

BIG SCRUB BEING
INVADED FROM BROADWAY

AS Star reporter passed the Tenn
ples on his way to dinner today, Ed
Bennett hailed him and took him in
the managers Office, in one corper of
which he found neat and natty,
citybroke man metamorphosing him.
self into the likeness of a tramp.
This person was none other than
Max Plohn, manager of Watch Your
STEP" which will be at the Temple
next Wednesday night. and one of the
smartest men in the theatrical busi-
ness.
Ed Bennett, Sheriff Galloway, Will
lard Blood, Walter Tucker, the Fort
brothers and several other half-In-
dians were making ready to take him
out in the big scrub to hunt deer, bear
and rattlesnakes. The reporter kinder
felt sorry for the little man, so far
from Broadway, and in the hands of
such gang of practical jokers. We
hope they won't take him snipehunt-
ing tonight.
At the same time, the reporter saw,
or thought he saw, certain kind of
a gieam in Mr.. Plohn's eye, and il he
puts one over on that crowd and we
hear about it, it will surely give us
joy to print it.

THE BOARD Of TRADE
MEETING THIS EVENING
At the Board of Trade Room
at s O'clock, Your Presence
Will be Welcome and Useful
M'CLANE MAY GO
TO MARIANNA

1t will be something of a surprise
to his friends to learn that DR.. F. E.
McClane of this city is a candidate
for the Office of superintendent of the
reform school for boys at Marianne,
but such is the fact.
The Star today received the fol-
lowing telegram:
Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 16, 1919.
Editor Star: DR.. Frank E. McClane
of Ocala is strongly endorsed by the
sheriff and a number of prominent
citizens of Ocala and elsewhere for
the position of superintendent of the
reform school for boys. Wire at my
expense your opinion of him for this
position. j. c. Luning,
State Treasurer.
The Star was very glad to wire to
Mr.. Luning that DIR. McClane had a
good record in Ocala as a citizen and
physician, and that it could con-
scientiously recommend him for the
office.
1t will be a good thing for the
school if DIR. McClane is appointed
superintendent. DR.. McClane has just
resigned from the army, where he put
in about sixteen months hard work
for Uncle Sam. He must have done
his work well, for he went in lieu
tenant and came out a captain. The
dector-and his family came to Ocala
about dozen years ago, and stand
high in the estimation of the people.
It's the Stars opinion that If he is
appointed superintendent and backed
up by the board of institutions there
will be very little at the school to
complain of.

Jacksonville, Jan. 16.@Collector of
Internal Revenue James M. Cathcart
has received preliminary instructions
from the treasury department with
reference to a-foor stock taxes" which
will probably be embraced in the rev.
enue bill now pending before Con-
gress. AS these instructions are Of
importance and interest to a large
number OF the taxpayers in the dis
trict of Florida. the collector desires
to give as much publicity to them as
possible In order that the collection Of
floor stock taxes may be accomplish
ed with as little burden to the rev.
enue department, and with as little
annoyance to the taxpaying public rs
possible.
The provisions of the bill now pend
ing before the House and Senate con-
ferees provides for floor stock taxes
on all cigars, cigarettes, snuffs and
tobaccos In the hands of retail and
wholesale dealers on the effective
date Of the act and on all stocks Of
distilled spirits, wines and cordials in
the hands of retail and wholesale
dealers on that date on hand for sale.
This latter provision viii affect al
drug stores handling non-beverage
alcohol and all dealers who may have
any Of the items on hand at that
time.
The provisions as to cigars, cigar
cites, tobaccos and snuffs win effect
practically every merchant in the
state of Florida, as nearly all Of
them carry a small stock Of tobacco.
These merchants should keep them
selves informed through their local
press as to the progress Of the pend
ing legislation and as soon as the bin
is passed should take an accurate In
ventory of their stock Of cigars, Gig
arettes, tobaccos and snuffs on hand
as of that date.
The department is preparing forms
on which these inventories should be
made, and also a form on which the
return is to be made and forwarded
to the collector. These forms viii be
mailed out from the Office Of the col
Iector as soon as received from the
department. The taxpayer upon re-
ceipt of the inventory form sh0uld
carefully make the necessary entries
thereon as indicated upon the form
instructions as to the proper method
of making the return, and remittanee
covering the taxes, viii be enclosed
with the inventory mailed TO the
taxpayer.
/ norder to give the widest oppor-
tunity to the taxpayer affected BY
these regulations to secure proper
forms for their inventory and return
the collector has arranged through
the courtesy Of the Wholesale Groc-
ers' Association to furnish through
the members of that association tc
their travelling statesmen, q supply oi
the various forms for distribution u
their trade where they have not beer
reached by mail from the regular
mailing list used by the collector
Office. A similar arrangement hal
been made through the wholesale
