rates. When, due to trade dullness
and the competition of the British
ships, rates collapsed the crisis came.
American vessel owners assert that it
costs them $500 more in wages alone
per month to operate a Glass A vessel
than it costs British owners. They
are also hampered by restrictions
which they consider extremely vexa-
tious, such as those framed by land
lubber like Senator LaFollette. These
restrictions are in the form of laws
designed to protect the seamen, and
without denying that they are humane
it is plain enough that they constitute
a handicap to the owner who is oblig-
ed to operate under them.
One instance is typical. An Amer
lean seaman who signs on for round
trip is entitled when he reaches any
port to be paid off in proportion to
the wages he would have earned had
he fulfilled his contract. That is to
say an American sailor who signs for
Auckland for wages of $50 is entitled
to receive $50 when he reaches that
port. The idea is to protect sailors
who find that they are harshly treated
aboard ship, and to make it to the
masters interest to use them well. In
practice it permits -wastrels who wish
to reach any foreign port to leave the
ship when it arrives there and give
the captain the trouble of trying to
hire men in their place. This means
delay for one thing, and it means also
that the harassed captain is often
obliged to sign on any riff raft that
may present itself in order that he
may speedily continue his voyage. At
the next stop the men he has hired
last may quit him. We may mention,
too, the fact that as rewards Amer
lean passenger ships, the prohibition
amendment has made it extremely
difficult for them to compete with
British ships which purvey liquor.
Like the Canadian railways the gov
ernment owned ships in the United
States hreport staggering deficits
The longer they are idle, the greater
will these deficits be. and the more
deeply the taxpayer will have to
plunge his hand into his pocket

TO MELON GROWERS

Up to this time the season has been
so dry that very little anthracnose il
any has been found in our section.
But now that so much rain has set in
this trouble is likely to develop. It
may be recalled by some that last
year some Of the fields were attacked
at about shipping time and half the
crop was lost. Where it is possible
thorough spraying should be given
if time can be picked when it in
likely that the spray will dry before
being washed off the vines. When
loading the stems should by all means
be properly painted in the cars with
the bluestone paste, inasmuch as last
year there were a great many melons
only partially treated and they went
to market in bad condition.

trained pig which for year has been
assisting in ferreting out moonshine
stills. The deputy would withhold
food from the pig for 48 hours, put

to do was to follow and take charge

BOUGHT
GOLDMAN OUT
Mr.. Goldman VIII Stay in Ocala and
Take q Whiri at the Furni-
ture Business

After being in the drN goods, cloth
ing and kindred lines of merchandis-
ing in Ocala for the past fifteen years,
Mr.. Ben Goldman today disposed of
his stock of these lines at his place
of business on the west side of the
courthouse square to Mr.. Joseph NAL
ever, who will for the present continue
at the same location.
The new proprietor of Goldman,s
informs Star representative that he
purchased the stock at figure which
will enable him to close it out at very
attractive prices, and this he proposes
to do within the next few months. He
will make an announcement through
the columns of the city papers in q
few days, stating his proposition to
the buying public.
Mr.. Goldman some weeks ago pur-
chased the furniture business of E. c.
Jordan & Company at the corner Of
Fort King and South Magnolia street
and has now added his house furnish
ings line to this already large and
prospering concern. He found after
entering this line of business that it
would be impossible to divide time
with two stores, hence the sale of the
dry goods, clothing and shoe depart
ments to Mr.. Malever.
Whether the Goldman slogan "Why
Pay More? has been disposed Of to
the new proprietor or not we did not
learn, but it is safe to say that there
is no wider known saying in CONNER
cial circles in Florida than this one,
and it was made so by the continuous
and persistent advertising policy al
ways followed by Mr.. Goldman.
The Star wishes for both concerns
the continued prosperity that has al
ways followed them in the past.

OUTRAN A BULLET

Deputy Sheriff Walter Perkins
made a good haul yesterday. While
driving his trusty gasoline steed thru
the country near Sparr, he found a
large colored congregation in an old
field, busily playing ball. This was
all right, but Walter thought the ac-
tions of one member of the crowd were
suspicious, and proceeded to investi-
gate. The darkey tried to get lost,
but Walter closed in and found the
coon had several bottles of blockade.
Mr.. Perkins drew his pistol, where
upon the crowd began to scatter. An
other darkey looked like he was need
ed, and Walter tried to call him, but
he left pronto. Walter fired a shot at
him, but he outran the bullet. Mr..
Perkins found a pistol on the man he
arrested and the liquor he was ped
ding was the most rotten moonshine
ever made, smelling like chloroform
and rotten corn bread.
