American Encyclopedia, Worlds
Fair edition, says that the observance
of Valentines Day is on the decline.
That edition is certainly out of date
or Edgefeld is not in tune with other
communities, for there was a very
voluminous exchange of valentines
everywhere from the spinsters to the
sixteen-year-old girl and boy and the
children of all the school grades.
Some of the verses on the post card
valentines are the work of genius.

A NEW INDUSTRY FOR OCALA

The Vego Hair Manufacturing Com
at Ocala in order to facilitate the
shipment of moss to their plant at
Paaltka. 1t is the object of this COM
pany to erect a plant at Ocala as soon
as deal for a suitable location has
been closed. The plans for this plant
call for a modern moss ginnery in
every respect. The necessary equip
ment has been designed and is now
being assembled preparatory to ship
ping it here.
The Vego Hair Manufacturing Co.
|expects to make this their second
plant every bit as large as their main
plant. Quantity output being one of
the main considerations with plant
of this kind the city of Ocala was
chosen on account of it's railroad ia
cilities as we'll as the nearness of the
raw material.
When this plant is built and run
ming at full capacity there will be a
force of at least forty people employ
ed, exclusive of the necessary office
personnel.
A question that has often been
asked and will be asked many times
again is: How can money be made
gathering moss? The actual revenue
to the people of Florida in dollars and
cents from the whole moss industry
amounts into several figures. But this
is not the only consideration. The
damage done to standing timber by
growing moss amounts to many times
these figures. Also the frequent fires
in wooded sections that annually dis
turb the normal growth of vegetation
are to a great extent due to fallen
moss.
Mr.. E. M. Wenzel of Palatka is in
the city making arrangements for the
establishment of this plant, and he
has placed an ad. in another column
os the Star.

TICKS AND
CATTLE TICKS
There is Danger that the One Will
Eradicate Must of the Good Work
Being Done Against the Other.
CAssociared Press)

Montgomery, Jan. 28.-Cattle tick
eradication in southern states is now
H. somewhat critical condition, DIR.
r. A. Ramsey. chief of tick eradica-
tion of the department of agriculture's
bureau of animal industry, told the
Southern Cattleman's Association to-
day, and an energetic drive. he said,
should be made, especially in states
where tick eradication is nearly COM
pleted, to speedily finish the job. The
possibility of politics interfering with
the work was pointed out by DIR. RAM
say.
"There is imminent danger" he
said, "when any state becomes care
less about discontinuing tick eradica-
tion when ther are still a few counties
or localities or small centers where
tick infestation exists. The infesta-
ton in these centers, if not complete
ly eradicated, is going to spread. Fur
thermore, these small centers are La
BILE to be used by politicians for pur-
pose of barter. This has been DEM
onstrated in Virginia where three tick
infested counties still remain in quar-
antine because certain state officials
and live stock sanitary officials saw
proper to trade off tick eradication for
few votes on some other legislation" I"
DIR. Ramsay said southern cattle
men could relieve men directly engage
ed in the actual work of tick eradica-
tion of the responsibility of obtaining
appropriations and enlisting the moral
support of state legislators and ex-
ecutives. He suggested two members
of the association should personally
visit each state legislature and discuss
with the various committees and the
governor the needs of tick eradica-
tion.
Z The work of the cattlemen's associa-
tion, he said, had been of great as
sistance in the past and the cattle tick
has been eradicated from 500, ,034
square miles, or 20 per cent of the
area infested. There still remains
219,581 square miles under quaran-
tine

BERNARD WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL
ASSOCIATED PY~ss)

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 27.-Joseph
f. Bernard, explorer and former resi-
dent of Los Angeles, is returned from
the North American channel, accord
ing to word just received here, after
an unsuccessful effort for three years
to force his way from the Pacific to
the Atlantic ocean, north of the Am
erlcan continent.
Bernard has twice defied the ice
fields in a ten-ton schooner, the Teddy
Bear, accompanied by only one man.
On his first trip in 1908 he went to the
Siberian coast and was absent for
nearly five years. His assistant died
on this voyage and the explorer sailed
his boat to the ice fields alone.
In 1916 he again sailed north in the
Teddy Bear. this time in the hope OF
drifting from the Pacific to the At
lantic. Recently David H. Hurley. a
friend of Bernard here received word
that the Teddy Bear had been sighted
by natives near Banksland and that
Bernard was once again headed south
apparently unable to negotiate the
passage between the two oceans.

A NEEDED REFORM
Old Fashioned Dances Are to Dis

Modern Steps
ASSOCIATED Press. +.

New York, Jan. 28.-Old fashioned
keep-your- distance dances are TO dis
place the modern jazz steps. if the
nationwide reform movement under
taken by the American National As

daughters, dance hall proprietors,
dancing teachers and hostesses-and
if necessary the police department.

"body hold" shimmy lock" and other
imported ballroom grips which are
practiced by some dancers.
Cheap and vulgar music is also to
come under the ban and, according to
q circular just issued by the associa-
ton, those in charge of community or
public dances are urged to show their
opposition to undesirable dances by
distributing "XOu will please leave
the half cards to those who persist in
offending.
The women, it is charged are often
as much to blame as their partners
and, in some cases, dance hall proprie-
tors are advised to pick out ten or a
dozen Objectionable couples and, if a
warning is disregarded, to oust them
at once.
"You will soon see," the circular
reads, "that you have raised the stand
ard of your establishment and that the
loss will be more than made up by
double the number of persons who
have respect for you and your dances.
"Steps or movements that cannot
be controlled should not be taught by
dancing teachers. Short side steps
first right, then left, when done con-
tiruously, are not conducive to refined
dancing and should not be permitted
Skinny dancing shaking or jerk
ing of the upper part of the body
while taking short steps or standing
still, should not be tolerated.
"The proper dancing steps should
be the same as a natural walking one
except in exhibition dancing. which
properly belongs to the stage, not the
ballroom. Exceptionally long or short
steps are not in good form.
Dancing should be from the waist
down, not from the waist up. Copying
of the extremes used on the modern
stage is in bad taste. Remember that
the majority of dancers desire to
dance according to the best accepted
standards, that is, without the slight.
