lations which is neither race, politics
nor religion. 1t is just the preserva-
ton of the lives of children. The war
has collapsed, among both allies and
enemy, in the face of the greatest
famine in three hundred years. In
the first stage of famine the human
animals eat the food of their cattle
and thus undermine the production OF
milk. In the second stage they con-
sumo the cattle themselves. The
children of the white races are de-
pendent upon cattle for their very
existence, thus famine bears the hard
est upon the children.
To-day there are 100000 waits who
live by virtue OF the 5000 asylums. hos
pitfalls, clinics and canteens whose
doors would colse but for the Ameri-
can charity. At the time of the arm
istice Americans were carrying the
burden of 100000 children in Bel
GUM and 100000 in northern France.
This system was spread over Finland.
Esthonia. Letvia, Lithuahia, Poland,
Germany. Austria. Czechslovakia. Ser
bia, Rumania, Hungary and Armenia.
With the harvosts Of 1919 and 1920
and the gradual economic recuperation,
the burden has grown less and the har-
vest of next summer will greatly
Tighten the burden. 1t is not a per-
uetual charge on American charity. 1t
is an emergency demand. 1t will cost
$2S, 100000. about one dollar per month
per c0ild. until next harvest For ev-
cry American dollar. another dollar of
local support is provided In equip
ment and food, together with a vast
amount of voluntary service We have
but to supply them with their de-
ficient milk. fats. clothing and, in some
countries. bread, and they will sue
ced; without IL they will fail.
ITO me it is a glory to the United
States that 100000 hungry waits
should sit every day at our table. 1
would rather have the American flag
implanted in the hearts of the chill
dren of Europe than flying over any
citadel of victory. Twenty years from
now they will form the basis of civil
ixation in Europe. II we are to pre-
serve the foundation of society in the
East, IL we are to keep open the love
of humanity in the West. our duty is
clear before us.''

teen head of registered Aberdeen
Angus cattle, four head of Percheron

Mammoth jacks and jennets, four reg
istered Duroc hogs. four registered
Poland-C China hogs. two registered
Dorset rams. One of the most inter

are winter lambs and some of them
weigh as much as IS pounds. TIVE
other Dorset ewes will be taken
These sheep have been pastured out

winter and this fact and the size OF
the lambs, presents a sharp contrast
tc the methods of raising sheep IN the
north, where the severe winters make
housing necessary.

TAXATION IN OCALA

We have been handed the following
clipping from a Seattle newspaper by
a gentleman who thinks it fits Ocala.
The last sentence is worth considera-
ton by our business men:
at is the ever increasing rate of
taxation, rather than the disputes be-
tween capital and labor, that threaten
the prosperity of this city. The labor
ing man may think that this does not
affect him. The fact is, however, that
the burden falls on him, although ne
may not know it. The small home
owner will be the first to be submerg-
ed by the rising tide of taxes. Let Us
make it possible for him to survive"

Looking west from Ocala last night,
observers might have noted that the
western sky was lit up with forest
fires. When will the people learn
that burning off the woods is one of

help the cattle. 1t is wastefulness,
pure and simple, and men in this en-
lightened age should know better.
