The council has invited Mr.. R. A.
Burford Jr. of the Burford Engineer
ing Company of Atlanta to advise it
regarding conditions at the light and
water plant. 1t is the Stars opinion
that Mr.. Burford will give the coun-
ell expert and disinterested advice on
the subject. Mr. Burford is well
skilled in machinery. For time
during the war, he was chief engineer
officer of one of the biggest American
transports, vessel that made a phe-
nomenal record in carrying troops to
France. He has the interest in his
old home town that gives him sin
cere desire to help it out of it's diff
culties and if his advice is competent
ly carried out Ocala will be much bet
ter off.

1t is the Stars opinion that the city
council has acted wisely in deciding to
use oil for fuel at the light and water
plant. Under normal conditions, it
will save great deal of money and
much trouble. 1t is. a strange thing
that in country where there is so
much wood that wood costs so much
and is hard to obtain at any price,
but it is nevertheless the fact. If we
do not have any more wars, it will
rot be strange if most people in the
towns are using coal for fuel in a
year or two. During the past win
ter, wood sold IN Ocala for about a
dollar a wheelbarrowfull.

Whenever we have a severe cold
spell, the damage is almost always
reported at first greater than it really
is. The frost of Wednesday morning
was no exception. 1t was reasonable
10 suppose at sunrise that all truck
was killed. A great deal of it was,
but much was untouched and good
deal only slightly damaged. The
frost, as usual, struck in spots. In
some places it cut everything to the
ground. In others, it did no harm.
The best authorities agree that half
the melons, cantaloupes and cucum-
bers were killed, and 20 to % per
cent of the bean crop. The farmers
went to work replanting at once.
There is yet strong probability of a
good crop, which will go to market
sooner than anything north of US.

1t is reported from Paris that Pres

that if it didn't hurry up its DELHI

It's the Stars opinion that all the

peace to Foch. He knows his own
mind, and they don't seem to know
their own or anybody else's.

The federal judge at Louisville,

Europe is legally at an end, disagrees
with his own government as well as

he is right, but we wouldn't advise
any enlisted man in the army to rely
on his decision sufficiently to start for
home without his discharge.

AS a rule the comfortable people
have a delightful humor. In every
day life they find a surprising number
of things to laugh at. Not that they
ridicule. Towards others they never
take the superior attitude. On the
contrary their humor carries no sting.
1t is perfectly innocent and creates
no uneasiness in it any one can join.
Often the comfortable people laugh
at themselves. They show that they
feel their own relations to the alb
surdities of life and the incongruities
of humanity. They are true philos-
ophers.

Did you ever stop to think of the
great concern that is manifest for
people in times of distress? Just let
the cry of a little child be heard, and
see how people respond. They will
drop their money, they will turn from
politics. They will forget all differ
ences of creed and color and rush to
the aid of the helpless whose cry has
called unto them. The old world is
full of love. Sympathy often comes
the quickest from the most unexpect-
ed sources, to hear the unspoken Ian
guage of another's heart.

A smile to do good must convey
kindly feeling. There are many kinds
of smiles, and if you have made a
study of them at all, they are easily
distinguished. There is the smile
that almost terrifes. There is the
smile that expresses i'll feeling, in
GLIDING dislike, resentment, suspicion,
cruelty, ETC., and the smile that is
puzzling and that sometimes creates
uneasiness. The smile on the face of
the Mona Lisa is of the enigmatical
kind. We all know the truth of
Shakspere's saying, "a person may
smile and smile, and be billain still"

''In some respects Mr.. Ellyson's
career was unique in Virginia annals.
Of ancient and honorable family, he
was Virginian by birth and to the

life was inscparably bound up with
that of the State h" loved so w2i!,

its honors. A mere youth. he left
the clustered schoolroom to answer
the call of the Confedcracy and he

the unbought and unsolicited endorse
ment of all classes OF men who know
Mr.. Beall. We might also say of all
factions, since Mr.. BeaIl In his eight or
nine years In political life has always
asked for Office solely on his merit as
man and citizen and refused to ally him
self with any faction or to become a tail
to any mans kite.
The candidate opposed to Mr.. Beall
was elected clerk of the house OF rep
resentatives as Vardaman man In 1912,
and as state revenue agent as Bilbo
man in 1915. He carried his advertising
In the Issue four years ago, but he does
not now patronize Vardman's Weekly,
so we do not know where he stands.
We are sure that the fact Mr.. Beall
is merchant and farmer, and not a
lawyer, will not be counted against him,
as he has made success In this line.
We present Mr.. BealI to you, there
fore, as a successful business man and
