Features of the Dinner of the
Marion County Post

More than one hundred ex-service
men attended the chicken supper and
meeting of Marion County Post No. /
of the American Legion. held last
night in the Ocala House The gather
ing was a most enthusiastic one.
There was plenty of chicken pillau
and other 'eats." with seconds" and

There were plenty of real doughnuts
Stirring patriotic addresses were
made by Chaplain John Conoley of
Gainesville, and Rev. John J. Neigh
bour of Ocala. Appeal for new men,
bers for the post was made, and it is
believed that all those who were not
already members signed up. Piano Sc
lections played by Mr.. George Mar
tin were thoroughly enjoyed. A short
business session preceded the supper.
Both Chaplain Conoley and Mr..
Neighbour made eloquent and earnest
appeals to the legionaries to put into
their citizenship, now that the world
war is over. the same spirit of loyal
ty and patriotism that was shown as
soldiers. The speakers stressed the
can be no stronger than the individ-
uals that compose it. They pointed
to the enviable position that the
American Legion now holds in the
country, and called upon all ex-service
men to become members of the or
ganization and to uphold it's reputa-
tion as force for great good. Both
speakers made a whole-souled appeal
for a fight against the mad doctrines
and isms of the hour and for a re-
turn to a life of simplicity, based upon
1907 Americanism and the ideals OF
Christianity, which include response
bility to God and, therefore, respect
for laws and loyalty and devotion to
ones country.
Had the weather not been so un-
favorable it is believed that many
more ex-service men of the county
would have been present last night.
AS it was many of those present had
driven many miles and number were
new citizens of Florida and Marion
county.
Miss Mary C. Marshall. of the
Marion County Hospital. who In q
member Of the post, made the men

and assisted with the supper. Mr..

1T WOULD BE THROWN AWAY
Straight Out Opposition to Bonus for
Ex-Service Men Voiced by
Capt. Burns
Associated Pressl

Washington, March 5.-Flat oppo-
sition to financial relief legislation for
former service men, the first to be ex-
pressed by a former soldier, was as
serted yesterday before the House
ways and means committee by Wal
ter w. Burns. of Green Point. n. Y.
a former artillery captain. A money
handout" to the ex-service men. he
said. "would simply be thrown away"
Practically no former soldiers or
sailors are without employment,
Burns said, adding that most of. them
do not know the effect payment IF a
bonus would have. Outstanding gov
ernment obligations would depreciate
if bond issue was authorized, Burns
said.
All soldiers would take a money
grant if Congress authorized it. he
told the committee. Representative
Rainey, democrat. illinois, replied
that this was true even Of members
of Congress "who talk and vote
against salaries and mileage allot-
ments but always take the money"
Burns contended that the satisfac-
tion of having fought to defend the
country was sufficient reward.
'If the war had continued two
weeks more every American soldier
would have been so tickled they would
not want any bonus." he added.

TARDY PAYMENT OF TAXES

Editor Star: The total assessment
on Ocala property for city taxes for
the year 1919 is $63,772. The books
have been open since the first day of
last October, yet at the close of busi-
ness on the last day of February, less
than one-third of the assessment had
been paid.
The sale of lands for unpaid taxes
must be made on the first Monday in
May, and it must be advertised dur
ing the whole month of April. In
order to do this. the list must be made
up and turned over to the printer not
later than March goth. and as this list
will as it now stands include a great
deal more than half of all the prop
erty in Ocala. it must not be started.
i will hold this list until the Goth,
and while it will entail lot of extra
work in making it, and then taking
it out if paid before that date. will
add no costs on any taxes paid by the
Goth. After the list has~gone to the
printer costs of advertising will be
added, and while the law allows a
penalty of five per cent on laws sold
for taxes, this penalty has not here
tofore been collected where the taxes
were paid before the sale, but it may
be otherwise this year, as the city
needs the money and is paying eight
per cent for temporary loans. 1t does
seem that taxpayers would be salts
fed with a fifty per cent increase in
the tax rate and not wait for another
FIVE per cent to be added.

Two new schools are open for ap-
prentices and firemen, third class. No
experience is required.
We have seventeen trade schools
open to any young men who desire to
learn a trade or profession. The only
thing the navy requires of a man is
that he be mentally, morally and
physically fit. The ages are from 18
to 35.
After a man once enters the navy
his worries stop. Uncle Sam looks
out for him afterward; free medical
treatment with pay. board and lodg-
ing, free allowance of 800 worth of
clothes and a vacation of thirty days
a year, besides other advantages over
the outside world.

can buy a good second hand gold
brick? By second hand I mean one
that can be bought at the market price
of lead. yet not appearing SO base.
