INOCULATE AGAINST TYPHOID

The president of the Ocala Wom-
ans Club has received the following
from the State Board of Health:
Dear Madam: The women of ev-
cry community through their several
organizations are leaders in civic
movements and proud possessors of
a dignifed civic consciousness. At
this moment as state health officer l
desire to call your attention to a mat
ter and situation in which the wom-
ems organizations with their mem
bers can render our state an invalu-
able service.
Florida is today experiencing an
unusual prevalence of typhoid fever.
We, as a state board of health, have
our fingers on the pulse, and we feel
that the entire situation should be
laid before the people to prevent a
further spread. An ounce of preven-
ton now will save a pound of cure
later> By good, consistent commu-
nifty team work now, what might de-
velop into a serious situation can be
averted.
/ have just written all the doctors
of the state, also the clergy, editors
city health officials and others. In
all my letters ! have stressed one
point strongly, viz: advise every in
dividual to be inoeulated against ty.
phoid. l urge you as women to get
right in behind your city officials and
compel to enforce sanitary laws, such
as creening of groceries, markets
drink stands, etc. Also bring pressure
to bear relative TO better toilets and
methods of community housekeeping
Only by community cooperation car
We reap results and keep the typhoid
down. Summer with its flies is com,
ing on-the ideal typhoid season
l sincerely hope you viii bring TIN:
matter to the attention Of all the
women IN your organization and com
munity and tell them to spread tbt
above suggestion. Florida's typhoit
deaths for 1920 were 20 per cen
lower than they were for 1919. YoI
wan and we want the 1921 record Il
be better than that of 1920. 1t means
co-operation and team work Can W
depend upon you?
Sincerely yours,
/ Ralph N. Greene,
State Health Officer.

AUSTRALIA WON'T
FIGHT AMERICA
No Treaty Can Bind Britain's Big
Stepehild to Go to War with It's
Trans-Pacifc Cousin
ASSOCIATED Press

Melbourne, April 24.-For Austria
liza ever TO take part in a struggle
with the United States was something
unthinkable and outside the bounds of
possibility, declared William n.
Hughes, premier of the commonwealth,
in concluding the debate in the house
of representative today on the COM
ing imperial conference, at which
Premier Hughes is TO represent Au-
stralia. The subject of the Anglo
Japanese treaty was preeminent in
the discussion and in aIluding to it
the prime minister said:
81 have said repeatedly that the
chief problem before Great Britain is
TO draw up a treaty which will not
involve US or Britain in a struggle
with the people of the United States.
The hope of the world depends upon
some sort of an understanding be-
tween America and the empire, and it
is TO find way of realizing that hope
that the minds of those attending the
conference should be directed. 1t is
unthinkable and not within the bounds
of possibility that we should ever
take part in struggle against Amer
ica- We cannot be bound to any
treaty which we do not ourselves
ratify, although the practical conse-
quences of war between Britain and
America, whether Japan was or was
not her ally. would of course have to
be faced by u.s."

our deepest and heartfelt gratitude to
the many friends and citizens of
Ocala and of Marion county, who So

LIGHT is AGAINST
CAPITOL IMPROVEMENT

Editor Star: If this is good enough
for the Star, publish same.
When first went to the legislature
in 1909, the supreme court occupied
part of the capitol building, as well as
the railroad commissions Offices, etc.
In 1915 the legislature appropriated
about 100000 for a new building to
relieve the crowded condition of the
capitol building.
The new building covers nearly one
half as much floor space as the old
capitol building, and the supreme
court and railroad commission are
the only departments of our state
government that occupy this building.
This building is three stories and
covers more ground space than our
court house.
In 1917 bill was introduced ask
ing the legislature to appropriate
100000 for a new office building to
relieve the congested condition of the
capitol officials.
l secured from the comptroller an
itemized statement of the expenses
for rents the state paid for Office
space. The report said it was less
than $500 for two years, and to save
this $500 for two years there wer,
those living in Tallahassee who
wanted to spend 100000 of our ta1
monies. The bill died.
The Senate has passed the bill ap
propriating s25O.OOO for more Office
space 1t is now up before the House
If the people from home speak, ant
speak plainly. the bill can be defeated
They should speak now.
There is but little need for this nev
building. There is enough space IL
the supreme court building to hous,
every department of the state, barring
the administrative department. tn
move is mostly made by Icons repre-
sentatives to increase the load o
statewide improvements at Talla
hassee, and to block the capital re
moval question.
Am glad that our representative
loppose this bill.
Write your representatives

WOOL GROWERS IN LINE
FOR A RICH REFUND

Washington, April 21-The govern
ment, which lately has been having
difficulties in getting money, also oc-
casionally encounters difficulty in get
ting rid of it. The latter difficulty
faces the agriculture departments
bureau of markets which is trying to
distribute half a million dollars
among wool growers and distribu-
tors. The job has been dragging
along for months, without coming to
an end.
Under wartime price regulations,
the government bought all the wool
produced in the United States, fixed
the commission to all dealers and buy
ers and undertook to see that the
sheepmen got the exact amount due
them on their entire flock growth. In
view of the tremendous weight of
wool handled, small mistakes in
weights and estimates occurred dur
ing the two years the system was
operated, and in the end the audit Of
the joint accounts showed that deal
ers had SAG, ,013.98 on hand in excess
of their allotted profits and commits
sions. This. it was decided, should
go back to the producers in accord
ance with the amount of wool they
furnished the government. But it has
proven easier to decide the problem
than TO work it.
The government TO date has dis
tributed $1O1 ,569.62 to 1880 wool
growers. Most of the excess profits
originated in the territory east of the
Mississippi river, where small sheep
focks are somewhat Of side line for
farmers. Big producers in the west
were easily accounted for.
The government thus is up against
the job of paying the money out IN
amounts ranging from 30 cents up
wards to s5. Also. it has been dis
covered that while 5000 country buy
ers took out proper licenses and came
under regulation, 1869 storekeepers,
bankers and others bought small lots
of wool, but didn't handle enough 20
acouaint themselves of the require
ments. The balance Of the half mill
ion is likely to lay in the treasury in
definitely as consequence.

HEALING MISSION TO
BE HELD IN OCALA

Rev. ]. j. Neighbor, rector of Grace
Episcopal church, at the morning
serving Sunday gave brief account
of his recent visit to Lakeland, where
he went to hear and see Mr.. Henry
Blandford, who has been conducting
Christian healing mission there and
at DeLand. Mr.. Neighbor stated
that arrangements were being made
to bring Mr.. Blandford to Ocala and
he hoped to complete necessary ar
rangements for the mission to start
the following Sunday to continue for
a week. In view of the fact that
there is considerable interest in the
work Mr.. Blandford is doing, the fol-
lowing account from the Lakeland
Telegram of the meeting there will be
timely:
although the seating capacity of
the First Presbyterian church proba-
bly, exceeds by three or four times
that of All Saints Episcopal church,
the former was crowded last night
when Mr.. Henry Blandford held
Christian healing service. Rev. c. i.
Stacy, pastor of the church. opened
the service with prayer and the read
ing of the scripture, and he also took
occasion to extend a cordial welcome
to the members of the Episcopal
church in Lakeland and to assure
them of the sincerity of the welcome.
"On the platform with Mr.. Bland
fordwere DIR. Stacy and Rev. w. B.
Curtis, rector of All Saints, while
members of the All Saints choir lead
in the singing of the hymns. The main
auditorium, the Sunday school room,
and the balconies were filled through
out the long service, there being in
evidence at all times a calm and sim
cere interest. Mr.. Blandford's address
was undoubtedly one of the strongest
presentations that has been made
during the entire mission. His sub
ject had to do with that which he said
had caused the greatest concern of
all times, namely, human life. 1t
was handled so inspiringly and so
wonderfully that it created a most
profound impression, and again DEM
onstrated Mr.. Blandford's correst
views, thinking and reasoning to be
most unusual.
Hundreds came forward during
that portion of the service devoted to
the laying on of hands. The blessing
was given in each case by either DR.
Stacy or Mr.. Curtis. who followed Mr.
Blandford in his work.
Announcement was made that al
the services today, and at 7:30 thi:
evening will be held in All Saints
church. Tomorrow there will be &
celebration of the Lords Supper al
All Saints and then the usual mission
service will begin at 10 O'Clock in
stead of IL o'clock. There is to be 4
service for mothers and their infant:
at o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Th'
services commencing at 1880 o'clocl
Sunday evening will be held in th'
! First Presbyterian church.
!: "Mr. Curtis also took occasion las
!: night to express grateful thanks t.
DIR. Stacy and the Presbyterian con
! gregation for their good will in ten
dering the use of their church for tn
Christian healing mission"
At Lakeland so much interest wa
! manifested in the mission and the at
tendance was so large. that it wa
: impossible to accommodate the peopl
3 at the Episcopal church, therefor
81 part of the services were held in tn
; presbyterian church.
