take any trick in the game of hfe as against reso-
luton and lack Of decision
To be able to say "NO" at the right time is exact
ly as important as it is to be able to say YES And
to be able to say YES is as important to be able
to say "NO."
If Christopher Columbus had leaned too much
toward "NO" he wouldn't have crossed the ocean.
Caesar if "NO" had controlled him, would not
have crossed the Rubcon.
Marc Antony, on the other hand, would not have
gone off to make fool of himself with Cleopatra, and
pursue the dream of an Oriental empire, if he had
known how and when to say "NO"
The waters have just started running in the great
Fountain of Time carved for the City of Chicago by
dorado Taft The idea of fountain of time
happy idea Taft the sculptor says his inspiration
was based two lines written by the poet Dobson.
TIME FLIES YOU SAYa All, NO!
TIME STAYS, WE GO!
We think Of TIME as passing, while WE stand
still Two lines make you realize that old time stays
forever, and WE pass
We enter life and go out very much after the
fashion of the sparrow in the halls of the ancient
barons descrbedby Green in his History of England.
The hall is lighted and the fierce primitive war
riors sit at their meat, below the flaming torches.
The hall is open at both ends the sparrow ii
at one end, flies rapidly through the smoky air and
the light goes out into the darkness at the other end
Such is the life of man, says the ancient one
Such, IN A WAY, is the life of man, but the life
of man also is McCay shows it to you here. It is
perilous walk tghtrope, it is balancing feat,
and if you want to finish the journey successfully and
step off the tight rope, onto secure resting place
in old age the most important quality is RESOLU-
TION The power to MAKE a resolution and to
KEEP it.
Of the two short words, which is harder to say'

sermon must go, so here is your Sunday sermon:
Nearly all of our wisdom we can trace to the
ancients Some to old Confucus long before our era
and before our golden rule saying, do not 90 unto
others what you would not have them do unto you.
The wise thought that draws this picture was ex-
nrpssed bv Aristotle the wisest Greek and perhaps
the wsest of all men, in his famous 'Not too much,
not too ttle.'
If we would go through life safely if we would
reach the goal of happiness, by which Mr. McCay
means peaceful old age, following useful hard work,
we must go with the two small but GREAT words
YES and NO balancing on the way.
"Not too much not too little," said Aristotle
Not too much of Eyes, not too much of No" Not
too much of work, not too much of play. We must
train the mind to recognize that which is just right,
useful and to learn to say "Yes' We must train
the mind equally, and teach it to act with greater
swiftness and decision in recognizing that which is
unwise and wrong, with the shorter word NO.
Life is good deal, as Mr. McCay has shown us,
like tightrope, with thousand chances to fall on
one side the other. In this picture, behind sue
cessfu walker who has almost reached the goal, you
see others that started out, with the same balance
pole but that failed to KEEP the balance. One
leaned too much toward YES He believed
everything had faith in every dream, followed every
suggestion and down HE went.
The other leaned too much toward ''NO." He
always saw the bad side, always prided himself not
being taken in mo" was his answer to everything,
and he thought that would save him. But down HE
went.

Probably on the whole men have had more trouble
saying MO- than saying YES"
The sound of the words themselves tells you that
the mo" has been the harder word When we say
it and MEAN it, it out almost like bark like
an echo of the ancient days when men knew that
mo- was often followed by fight to make good
refusal.
The word YES is softer, gentler, more easily
said.
Nevertheless, one is just as important as the
other. For instance, the young man questions HIM
self.
Can do ita" YES"
Have the power to refuse whatever leads me
from the straight line? YES" Have I the will to
walk through year after year of dulness, turning
aside from temptations and keeping the original idea
in mind7 YES
Temptation offered from the outside we answer
with ''NO." The serious questions that come to us
in our minds when a4one. the questions that always
come bacS in the end to this one "CAN DO ITs''
Those questions need the word "YES."
In the letter which he usually sends with his car
oons, the particular letter that came with this pic
ture, Mr.. McCay wrote
''You ought to use this picture in some way to
make young men and old men also dissatisfied with
themselves, matter how much they may seem to
have accomplished.
''For instance, imagine the young man in
my picture here, unusually successful for his age.
imagine his father asking him. Are you doing
wellY and the young man replying, YES
''And then can imagine the father asking, Are
you doing we'll ENOUGH9' and the young man reply
ing, NO.
Make the young men see and the old men teach
to those younger the idea that try to put in this pic
ture, Yes is as important No The best fighter is
called the 'Two-fsed fighter Yes is one fist, and
No is the other fist of the mind.
Ono perhaps delivers more knockout blows
But Yes more often opens the way to opportunity
"What Blondin's famous balancing pole was to

Falls the meaning of this picture the two little BIG
words of life should be to every of us. We are
all tight rope walkers and, for one that makes the
journey safely, at least ten fall.
II have made this picture hoping that it might
become in way balancing pole for some Of the
millions of men and women that see the Hearst Sun
day newspapers in which my cartoons are printed"

it and PRACTICE 1T.

TOO MUCH. One trouble with Tolstoy, that led
him to wander away from his family In his old age,
was that he went too far toward the No In bis bal
ancing pole His idea was self denial, selfcontro
an excellent idea But he failed to remember Aris-
totle's "Not too much, not too little"
If the German prnceing could keep his people
singing ALL the tme probably he could easily man
age them and keep them slaves as Tostoy put it.
But the FRENCH people are musical nation
They sing good deal. And when they were singing
the "MarseilIaise" that did not keep them slaves.
On the contrary, from the South of France to
Paris, to the tune of the "MarseilIaise," there

freed France from princes and princelings for all
time.
KEEP YOUR BALANCE.
"A work and no play makes Jack dull boy
All play and NO WORK makes Jack a worthless,
unhappy creature. One is as true as the other.
Train your mind, see clearly, and MAKE DE-
CISIONS And when you have made the decision,
making it YOURSELF, after studying both sides
rapidly and with concentration, then use the word
needed; YES, if the decision is favorable, and NO,
if the decision is unfavorable.

MARION COUNTY AT

We are glad to be able to report
that Marion county will be well rep
resented at the South Florida Fair.
The county commissioners do not
feel able to appropriate money for
the purpose. but County Agent SEES
SONS and Mr.. j. G. Howell have both
been busy the last few weeks prepar-
ing for this event. Both are veterans
in the business, and Mr.. Seasons is
particularly we'll acquainted with the
men in charge Of Tampa's big exposi-
ton.
Mr.. Howell reports to the Star as
follows:
The Rogers-Wilson Realty Co. will
make county exhibit. which will be
a concentrated fair in itself, sort OF
skimming off the cream of the best.
The Anthony Farms, Willard Blood
Mr.. Reiff of Lowell and probably Mr.
Herlong will send blooded stock to
Tampa. They stand a mighty good
chance to win on cattle and hogs.
While the county's exhibit will not
be- so great as that of some others. it
will be of the best quality and will at
tract favorable attention to Marion.

He may not really know that he is SUI

remains that superstition was bred

Chinaman.

1t is the custom Of the Chinese to
burn various kinds of efigies at the
funeral ceremonies Of the rich, and
the more wealthy the departed the
more elaborate the figures burned over
his grave. These effigies represent
every manner of thing, such as human
figures, horses, sedan chairs, tables
loaded with money, etc.
At the funeral of a Mr.. Ii, who
died a short time ago in Tentsin,
and who was a very wealthy man,
the bereaved family outdid themselves,
and made an imitation Of the deceased
gentleman's automobile, to be burned
at his grave. The efigy was made
entirely of strong Chinese paper
stretched on bamboo frames. The car
was complete in every detail, the ped

SCHOLARS AS WELL AS sEAMEN

Capt. Walter Gordon Roper, u. S.
NJ, is in the city, looking after re-
cruiting for the navy. Capt. Roper is
recruiting Inspector for the south
eastern division with headquarters in
Atlanta. He is a cousin of Daniel G.
Roper, United States commissioner of
internal revenue, and bears a strong
resemblance to his distinguished rel
alive
Capt. Roper visited the Star Tues
day night and talked interestingly on
the subject of naval training. There
is the greatest difference in the world
between the training given to seamen
today and a quarter of a century ago.
The navy was always good calling
and good school. But in former days
the idea was, once sailor, always a
sailor. A boy or young man who en-
listed, at the end of his first enlist
ment found himself. however good a
seaman, rather helpless on land. And
no matter how many enlistments he
served, it was the same. True. he was
always certain of his place in the
navy, and care in his old age. But if
niaerl left the sea, he had to begin at the
bottom in business, even if he had
twenty years training aboard ship.
Nowadays, the navy takes the boy or
young man of eighteen years or older
and helps to make him good citizen,
good mechanic or business man while
it makes him an able seaman. There
are two score or more of trades in the
navy, the knowledge of any of which
makes man valuable on land. Then
also the young sailor can finish his
education. He can come out OF the
grammar school or high school or even
college, and take special lessons on
the most useful subjects, especially
mathematics, thorough training IN
which is Indispensable in civil life.
Meantime he is paid good salary,
which with his "board and clothes"
his doctors bills paid, and other
things he would have to pay for him
self in civil life. make him better off
than the average young man In a
trade or business ashore. If at the
end of his first enlistment, he wants
TO remain in the navy, he is sure of
promotion; if he wants to go back on
land, he is well equipped to do so. On
account of its educational features,
and creating larger force of trained
seamen, the navy prefers to give the
average young man one enlistment to
start him off in life, knowing it can
always call on him when he is needed,
and keeping in service those who show
decided preference for sea life.
Capt. Roper says that boys and
young men from the farms and small
towns make the best sort of seamen.
When they go aboard ship, they know
nothing about sea life. but are almost
always very eager to learn. and eat up
instruction ike it was cake and candy.
American boys are different in this
from those of other nations, it being
noticeable that seamen recruited from

OF THE GREATEST
PUBLIC INTEREST

The army recruiting detachment
will give the following display tomor-
row. 1t is Of the greatest public in
teIest, and should be seen by all, par
ticularly the school children:
4 recruiting tent established on
the court house grounds, flags and re-

A supply of ordnance consisting of
machine guns. small arms and cap
tured war material on display. Com
petent non-commissioned officers will
explain the mechanism of the guns
and the part they played in the world
war.
In addition a seventy-five M. NJ.
gun, (noted throughout the war as
the French 75) will also be displayed.
Soldiers who have experienced handl-
ing similar weapons in the late war,
will not only inform the public of its
mechanism, but the splendid work it
has been able to accomplish in favor
of world democracy.

MARION SHOULDN'T
STAY OFF THE MAP

Capt. H. C. F. Dohm, of the Ma
tional Guard of Florida, who was here
few weeks ago with Adjutant Gen
eral Cats, stopped in the city Satur-
day night on his return from a re-
cruiting trip thru the state. He reports
good progress being made in reorgan-
izing the state troops, despite the
present uncertainty regarding the
status of the guardsmen. He says,
however, there is one matter estab-
lished, and that is that the national
guard is now under control of the
government and not subject to being
called out at any moment by the gov
ernor of state as it once was.
He reports the following progress
in the work.
Brooksville: Machine gun platoon to
be mustered in Friday of this week.
Starke: Full company of 100 to be
mustered in Monday, Feb. 9th.
Live Oak: Full company to follow
the next week, then Lake City, st. Pc
tersburg, Clearwater, Tarpon Springs,
in the order named.
Work is progressing in most sat
isfatcory way, with every indication
that the regiment will be completed
by July 1st or even sooner. Several
infantry units are still open, also a
supply company and the headquarters
company.
The present units are, in the order
named: Daytona, Miami, Live Oak,
Starke, Brooksville, Mariana, Lake
City, st. Petersburg, Tarpon Springs
and Clearwater, with other towns in
the state waiting for preliminary
work.
1t looks to the Star like our county
is in danger of being left off the mil
itary map, and this, considering its
past splendid reputation, it can't af-
ford to do. The machine gun idea
hasn't seemed to take, but we have
over five hundred of the best infantry
soldiers in the world. Can't we as
semble hundred of them to hold old
Marion's end up?

SWAT THE MOONSHINER

The county commissioners have an
nounced their intention to give the
sheriff all financial support needed to
paralyze if not kill illicit distilling
and selling of whisky. Now let the
people do their part in upholding the
law and helping the officials to en-
force it.
Moonshining, nuisance. has be-
come a menace.
But it can remain a menace only by
the supineness and cowardice of the
people.
Most of our citizens are opposed to
the traffic and despise the men that
carry it on. But they have allowed it
to go on, not because they lack the
courage to take strong measures
against it, but because they have been
too selfish to take the trouble to help
suppress it.
Nearly all the moonshine in the
county is made out in the country and
brought into town. There is no pre-
cinct in the county where liquor can
be made if law-abiding citizens re-
solve that it shall not be.
1t is their duty as citizens to so
resolve. 1t is their duty not only to
their county but to their neighbors
and themselves. They know not what
hour the traffic may bring irreparable
harm upon them or upon friend.
Let all good citizens give aid to the
officers in this matter. Let them aid
the law as they would aid it in punish
ing murder and theft. for of truth
it leads to both. AS long as illicit
LIQUOR circulates in a community, no
mans life is safe. nor is his property
and what is more, the women and girls
are not safe, for of all human fiends
the worst is the man with his pas
sicns infamed and added to by the
fluid that oozes from the moonshine
still.

Cuba Starts War on Rats.

The Cuban sanitation authorities
have undertaken a vigorous campaign
against the rat pest to prevent the
bubonic plague from entering Cuba.
Thousands of traps have been set
and every precaution is being taken.
Ships coming from ports under sus-
piciOn will not be permitted to unload
at the wharves, but must discharge
their cargOes by means of lighters or
launches while anchored in the har-
Dor, thereby lessening the possibility
OF plague-carrying rats reaching shore.
