N0FAKEHEROES
IN this PICTURE
Legion Sponsor For Of
fetal War Film, Here
Today

Considerable interest has beer
aroused over the showing today al
the Rylander theater of FLASHES OF
Action" the Official United States
Army War Films. These remark
able pictures, here under the auspic
es of the American Legion, have but
recently been released by the War
Department and have aroused the
greatest interest wherever they have
been shown. The negatives form a
part of the War Departments most
valuable records of the late war, in
that they portray, pictorially, the
American army in the World Wan
combat.
John D. Mathis Post No. 2, of the
American Legion, wishes to call at
tcntion to the fact that this pictur2
Is a vivid screen account OF wat
happened "over there" 1t is not a
"Bill'e Brave" and Sweet Mae
Shortcake" in whipping the Hun
picture, with fake guns, fake shells,
fake helmets, etc, but it is a picture
of the real thing, with real guns,
real shells and the best of all real
men in the greatest and most real
war that has ever been fought Nor
is it picture in which the actors,
after doing the thriller stunt, went
to their favorite hotel or villa-by-
the-sea-shore and lounged around in
easy chairs and smoked fine black
cigars, but it is one in which a large
number of the actors are still act
ing their part-that of the dead On
the field of battle. Nor is it a pic
ture in which corn syrup or some
other product is used to portray the
profuse bleeding of the fake hero,
on the fake field of battle, but is
one in which real American blood
flowed.
Uncle Sam not only had the men
to fight with lover there" and who
would fight, could fight and did fight,
but he wanted the folks back home
to see how they fought, hence the
picture.
The editor of the Piedmont Jour
nal of South Carolina commenting
upon this picture, says:
More than one hundred thousand
books have already been written
about the World War, many times
that number will be published, and
yet it will be many years before
there will be produced authoritive
and comprehensive history of the
greatest war in the worlds annals.
IF you want to get a good idea
of what that colossal conflict was,
see the splendid moving picture
Flashes of Action at the Grand
SATURDAY 1t is wonderful presenta-
ton of our soldiers under fire, full
of dramatic and thrilling SCENES
"These pictures were taken by The
Signal Corps of the United States
army. They portray actual happen
ings in the war, and are part of the
history of it. They are the official
production of our government"

BE CAREFUL WHEN
YOU BUY BONDS

Never buy bonds without consulting
your banker. If you haven't any
banker, adopt one. Any banker will
advise you on that subject.
In the last few days; a number OF
robust complaints have been made to
the Star about irresponsible and pos
sibly dishonest men who have been in
the county, selling wildcat stocks to
our people. While we have heard
rumors to that effect, they were only
rumors, and it is the normal state
of affairs for some swindlers to be
around, trying and generally succeed
ing to separate the fool from ms
money. But it has suddenly doomed
up that this county and probably all
the state is lousy with sharpers, SELL
ing worthless stocks to the inexper-
fenced, and it is believed that they
have taken 100000 out of the county
in the last few weeks. This is a
large sum. 1t would have bought all
Ocala's city bonds at par and gone
long way toward buying the county
bonds-both safe and profitable in
vestments. 3,
We have been told on good autho-
rity that one of these scamps obtain
ed $4,000 from lady living out in the
country, giving her in exchange some
highly engraved stuff that would
make good wall paper, but useless for
any other purpose.
A well-known citizen parted with
$1,000 to a dealer in automobile stock
who said his corporation had erected
big factory and would Immediately
begin the manufacture of cars. He
found out, by accident, that the cor
poration existed only on paper; and
being quick and unusually fortunate
recovered his money. Hundreds of
others have not been so lucky.
We wish to impress on our readers
that no prosperous and solvent cor
poration is sending men out to sell
it's stock from house to house. II any
of you want stock in a company that
is going strong, you have to go after
it, and you have to go strong, too, for
men who hold stock in paying con-
Germs are not anxious to sell.
We would advise every one of our
readers who has bought stock from
one of these agents to institute in
quiry at once, and if they are not ad-
vised on competent authority that the
stock is good, to put the matter in the
hands of the law. 1t is not pleasant
for any man to have warrant out
against him, even if he is in another
state, for state line is poor protec-
ton for swindler these days. AS for
the wildcatters yet within our limits,
they should be rounded up at once
and be compelled to give account of
themselves.

that the cost Of replacing 1t is less
than the expense incurred by its use.
AS a pavement is a construction, it
necessarily follows that there is a vast
difference between the durability of
the pavement and the durability of the
material of which it is made. Iron
Is eminently durable, but as a paving
material il is a failure.
The durability of paving material
will vary considerably with the condi-
tions of cleanliness observed. One
inch of everything dirt will protect the
pavement from abrasions and will
prolong its life indefinitely. But the
dirt is expensive; it Injuries apparel
and merchandise and is the cause of
considerable discomfort.
First cost or the cost of construc-
ton is largely controlled by the local
ity of the place. its proximity to the
particular material used and the
character of the foundation.
The pavement which has cost the
most is not always the best; nor is
that which cost the least the cheap
est; the one which is truly the cheap
est is the one which makes the most
profitable returns in proportion to the
amount expended upon it.
| The economic benefit of good
roadway is comprised of the follow
ing: Its cheaper maintenance; the
greater facility it offers to travelling,
thus reducing the cost of transporta-
ton; the lower cost of repairs to We
hicles and less wear to horses, thus
increasing their term of serviceability
and in enhancing the value of their
present service; the saving of time
and the ease and comfort afforded to
those using the roadway.
The relative economies of pave.
ments, whether of the same kind in

different conditions, or of different
kinds IN like good conditions, are de-
termined sufficiently by summing
their cost under the following head
ings OF account:
Annual interest upon first cost and
sinking fund.
Annual expense for maintenance.
Annual cost for cleaning and
sprinkling.
The first cost of a pavement, like
any other permanent investment, is
measurable for purposes of COMPARE
son by the amount of annual interest
on the sum expended. Thus, assum-
ing the worth of money to be six per
cent, a pavement costing four dol
lars per square yard entails an annual
interest or loss tax of twenty-four
cents per square yard.
Under the head of cost of mainte-
nance must be included all outlays Off
repairs and renewals which are made
from the time the pavement is new
and at its best to a time subsequent,
when, by any treatment, it is put
again in equally good condition. The
gross sum so derived divided by the
number of years which elapsed be-
tween the two dates, gives an aver
age annual maintenance.
Maintenance means the keeping of
the pavement in a condition practical
ly as good as when first laid. The
cost will vary considerably depending
not only upon the material and the
manner in which it is constructed, but
upon the cleanliness observed and the
quantity and quality of the traffic
using the pavement
The prevailing opinion that no pave
ment is good one unless, when once
laid, it will take care of itself, is err
roneous; there is no such pavement
All pavements are being worn con-
stantly by traffic and the action of the
atmosphere; and if any defects which
appear are not repaired quickly, the
pavement soon becomes unsatisfac.
tory. and it destroyed. Incessant at.
tention is necessary and is consistent
with economy. Yet claims are made
that particular pavements cost little
or nothing for repairs, simply be.
cause repairs in these cases are not
made, while any one can see the need
of them.
The cleaning of pavements, as re.
CARDS both efficiency and cost, depends
first upon the character of the sur
face and second upon the nature OF
the material of which the pavements
are composed. Block pavements pre-.
sent the greatest difficulties; the Joints
cannot be perfectly cleaned. The
order of merit as regards facility OF
cleaning is asphalt, concrete, grouteC
brick, stone, wood.
With these statements of the prin.
ciples involved before you, l will be
glad to answer, to the best of my
ability, any questions bearing on the
subject of pavement selection.

Buy Oxen For Use
Connecticut Farms

KANSAS CITY, June 29,--While
thousands Of tractors are reported to
be on their way west, shipped TO the
farmers from eastern manufacturers,
there is a representative Of Connect
icut farmers in Kansas City buying
oxen to work on Connecticut farms.
This man is c. +. CoIcoid, an Illi-
nois farmer, who also operates in Con-
necticut, and represents farmers there
Mr.. Colcoid attends the sales at
the stock yards, keeping on the out
look for old steers which would not
be very good as beef cattle but which
are usuabIe work cattle. These he
buys and sends back to Connecticut
where they are auctioned off to far
mcrs. Owing to the condition of the
hilIy country he states that they are
most practical motive power for the
pulling Of pIows and machines.
Mr.. C0lcoid's peculiar mission has
attracted the attention Of many far
mers who came into the yards with
stock and he has been the butt Of
iests at the old fashioned means US
ed "back east" when the west is now
turning rapidly to motorized farm
machinery. In reply to these humor-
Gus remarks he said:
"You know Connecticut farmers are
little old fashioned. 1t is COM
mon practice among these Yankee
farmers in the Old New England
States to cut grain by hand and to
plow with a team of oxen. All Of
these cattle which / send back are
auctioned off by the head, some far
mers coming as far as flsty miles to
attend the sales"

tend Splendid Speakers Make
Addresses.

Between 1900 and 1900 persons at
tended a community picnic at Avalon
yesterday and enjoyed barbecue and
brunswick stew. At noon an abund-
ant spread was served, consisting of
all kinds Of good things to eat, pre-
pared by the ladies Of that commun-
ity Numbers of Greenwood citizens
were among the picniccrs.
Hon. George r. James, prominent
merchant of Memphis, spoke on diver
sified farming. He urged the impor-
tance and necessity for the planters
in this section to raise food stuffs,
hogs and cattle, if they desired to
pull themselves out of their financial
difficulties. He emphasized the ne
cessity of growing cotton only as
surplus crop and explained how this
could be done without the farmers
incurring debt.
Hon. W. NJ. Wilmington Of Green
wood, delivered an address at the
close of the speech delivered by Mr.,
James. Mr.. Wilmington spoke on
current topics of the day, which are
of vital interest to the people. The
need of an improved community spir-
it, better consolidated schools, & more
attention to governmental affairs was
emphasized by Mr., Wilmington. He
also touched on the advisability Of
making cotton a surplus crop through
out the South.
Mr.. Wilmington closed his address
with a plea for the teaching Of the
simpler virtues in the home and in
the schools and told Of the import
ance of obedience to law and the con-
stitutional authorities, emphasizing
the importance Of patriotism and love
of country.

futures which are now about seven
down against unchanged due on new

are these spot sales will be Of larger
proportion right along.
Market opens four to nine down on
the easier Liverpool but met with fair
Iy good demand on the advice from
Lagrange, Georgia, to the effect that
business is decidedly better with lar
gest mills starting full time this
week. The latest storm warning in

bad weather over the west, also a bull
lish influence as recent rainy c0ndi-
tions over the southwest have start
ed apprehension in respect to delay
