long life of courage and honesty be-
hind him. And Mr.. Blowers-he
won't say whether or not he will vote
for added taxation and an unparalleled
ed opportunity for the legislature to
levy graft. But Mr.. Blowers has
steadfastly refused to denounce the
house joint bill, and everybody is GER
tain he is going to vote for it. How
different are Hunter and Light. Hun
ter gives no ifs nor ands-he says
straight out he won't vote for the
amendment. And Light says open
and aboveboard, he is going to vote
for Fletcher and Hardee. There are
Cats and Swearingen and Hulley men
in this county, and of course Lights
declaration is going to cost him some
votes. All the same he comes out and
says it. and no man can fail to respect
him for his outspokenness.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

Announcement is made by Director
r. G. Cholmeley-Jones of the bureau
of war risk insurance that former
service men, if they were injured or
contracted disease while in the serv-
ice. even though the injury or disease
was of a minor character, should be
sure to apply to the bureau of war
risk insurance for a certificate of in
jury before one year after the date
OF their discharge or resignation, in
order to protect themselves and their
dependents against possible aggrava-
ton of the trouble hereafter.
No compensation is payable unless
the disability or death can be traced
to an injury or disease incurred in the
service.
Many persons, however, have re-
ceived injuries or contracted disease
in the service and the i'll effects
thereof do not appear until some time
after their discharge or resignation.
If the disability resulting from the
injury or disease contracted in the
service does not occur before one
year after discharge or resignation
you may be unable to obtain compen-
sation, for the law provides that
when such disability or death occurs
as shown by the medical evidence
after one year after your discharge,
a certificate of injury must have been
obtained from the director of the bu-
reau within one year from the date
of your discharge in order that the
government may pay you.
If you were injured or contracted
! disease while in the service, even tho
the injury or disease was of minor
character, be sure to apply for a GER
tificate of injury before one year aft
er the date of your discharge or resig-
nation, in order to protect yourself
| and your dependents. Act now.
Do not fail to get this certificate
if you sustained injury or disease In
the service which, even though it may
not bother you now, may become
aggravated hereafter. To get it, ap-
ply to the nearest district supervisor
OF the public health service, or write

Mr.. s. c. M. Thomas, Ocala's city
marshal, is candidate for the sher-
ifs Office, and move is up before
the council to elect another man in
his place because he is candidate.
We see no reason for that. Mr.. Thorn
as is making satisfactory marshal,
and we think it will be good policy to
let him stay in Office, until the end of
the year if he is elected, and for his
full term if defeated. There is no
need in turning him out of Office be-
cause he is a candidate His canvas
has taken very little time from his
regular work, he is first-class officer,
and we advise the mayor and council
to let him stay right where he is.

The Ocala Star says: "We under
stand that there is a .no-fence' organ
ization in Tampa that is writing to
the various candidates for the legis-
lature, asking how they stand on the

them with opposition if they do not
stan dto suit it. We would advise our
legislative candidates to tell said or
ganization to step straight to Gehen-
ma, We. elect our representatives
right here in Marion county, and we
don't want to elect any man who is
ppaer-backed enough to take orders

WHAT NO-FENCE 4 ....
MEANS FOR FLORIDA

Editor Star: A no-fence law for
Florida would mean:
First. That the poor man wouldn't
be able to eat Def as cattle would be
in possession of a few rich men with
ranches who would have the cattle
cornered just as the packing house
man has meats today.
Beef for canning is being bought
for 312 cents gross. the same price
as last year. We pay so cents for .
12-ounce can of corned beef. The
same would be the case with fresh
beef with few rich men owning the
cattle in the state of Florida.
Next the small farmer who has no
range cattle would not be benefited by
no-fence law, especially in Marion
county, where we raise hogs and
staple crops. Peanuts is our only
chance to fatten our hogs. We can't
harvest a crop and feed hogs; that's a
known fact, neither could we turn
them out in our fields without fence.
Some say fence the peanuts. but we
can't make peanuts on the same land
every year and we all plant corn and
peanuts together. Also the pasture
behind our truck is worth the fence
to our hogs. We have to pasture our
hogs. Surely we can't keep them In
pen and fed corn and come out. One
man says he makes his living truck
farming. Well. if he does, he is the
first man I've heard of doing so yet.
This same man sold about as many
hogs as any man in Anthony and also
pastured them on every piece of farm
land he had.
Now for the value of the open range
cattle to Florida. / would be afraid to
try to estimate the enormous amount
of money that Florida gets out of her
native cattle. handled and sold just
the very smallest part of cattle around
this neighborhood, which amounted
to $16,65O. These cattle actually cost
the people about So per head. Are
we, the people of Marion county, 60
ing to be weak enough to throw these
profits away and ask for no-fence for
the state of Florida and make every
beef cost us every dollar there Is IN
him to raise him? AS it is every FLOR
iGa man reaps some of the benefits.
The range cattle do not interfere
with or damage the open range; they
don't carry thing off of the open
woods nor harm any one. They don't
jump or smash the farmers fences
it is his own milk cow that ruins his
fence or his farmer neighbor's cow.
Now for bred cattle. They are fine
We all love them, but we don't have to
have no-fence to raise them and
am very sorry that they cannot
thrive on open range. If so. the PEG.
pie would surely have them where the
native is. However. we have TO keeI
them under fence, where we can take
care of and feed them. whether we
| have no-fence or not.

We have noticed when crossing
South Main street recently that we
can actually look down it and see an
open space in the middle. We guess
the marshal and policemen have been
holding conversations with some of
our autoists. When a man driving a
car fifteen feet long parks it with
one front wheel against the curb and
the other front wheel about a foot
from said curb, elaving sixteen feet
of the car sticking out into a narrow
street, and another man with another
car of similar length does the same
stunt on the other side of the same
street, and two autoes going in op-
posite directions. approach the gap
one car has to stop until the other
wriggles by. We have seen this hap
pen scores of times on Fort King and
South Main.

It is reported that the real reason
for prices falling in places is not
prosecution of the profteers or IN
creased economy among the people,
but a concerted effort of the banks to
bring rates down by refusing credit
to anything that looks like a prof.
teering enterprise. This probably has
a lot to do with it, but we notice that
a considerable number of our &C
quaintances are showing signs of pre-
ferring to do without many things
rather than pay exorbitant prices.
Determined self-deaial on the part of
the American people would bring
prices down to normal in sixty days.
but when it comes to sef-denial and
work the American people would
rather have George do it.

In the meeting of the candidates
and people. at Citra, Mr.. Folks and
Mr.. Blowers fell. back on their con-
stitutional right not to admit any
thing that might be used against
them. MIR. Folks wouldn't tell wheth-
er he would vote for Fletcher or
Cats, and Mr. Blowers wouldn't cell
whether he would vote against the
constitutional amendment for the peo-
pie to allow the legislature to add an
other weight to their already over
load of taxation. The secret ballot
is all right; it enables poor, weak men
to defy political bosses, and it par
alyzes the vote-buyer. But neither
Nj. Folks nor Mr.. Blowers is poor or
weak. They are perfectly able to
stand up on their hind legs and say
who and what they will vote for. They
are candidates, and have no right to
conceal from the people what mer

WHAT Is PROFITEERINGs

Profiteering is an evil that -four
ishes because Of the divergence OF
opinions as to what 1t is. The govern
ment has tried, convicted and sent to
prison dealers in sugar who charged
more than specified prices. This
has led to the expression Of. curiosity
as to why prosecutions have not been
undertaken against sellers Of other
commodities for which what seemed
like an exorbitant figure has been
asked. The situation with regard to
the legal penalty for profiteering APP
parently Is hazy; anything that tends
to clarity it should be welcomed.
A case pending in New York prom
ises to throw some light on the mat
ter. Because of the test that 1t Of

anything that he pleases for a COM

much attention. A woman ordered a

later rendered a bill for $25. The
woman's husband wealthy man
has refused to pay it, not because he
cannot afford to, but because he says,
to do so would make 1t harder for
people of moderate and small means

he is likely to try the same game. !
