Another candidate for the county
judgeship has entered the arena. 1t
is Mr.. l.. E. Futch, one of our young
lawyers, who tho not Marion county
boy is the next thing to it, being born
and raised in our neighbor county of
Alachua Mr.. Futch is a well-read
young lawyer. He was admitted to
the bar in 1915, and had just fairly
settled down to practice when the war
broke out and with the other young
men he went forth to serve his coun-
try. Immediately after his discharge
from the army. he settled down in
Ocala, and has become one of our
most popular young citizens. Every
body who knows Mr. Futch likes him,
and while prophesying a victory for
him would be premature, We feel safe
in predicting that he will have strong
support.

Been almost a year since the legis-

full and forty or fifty applicants wait
ing their turn. Not lick of work

thing to do with holding up the work
on this important state institution.

Several sufferers have thanked the
Star for its anti-stray chicken edi-
torial of yesterday, and now one good
lady phones in to ask US if we can't
stop the boys shooting birds with
their f1obert and air rifles and sling
shots. We are afraid we can't. It's
against the law to shoot the birds, and
the proper thing for any person to do
when he or she sees a boy or man
shoot a bird is to swear out war
rant against him. One or two arrests
would put a stop to the practice. Boys
have a natural disposition to shoot
birds, and very few of them know it
is against the law to shoot them.
