No UNNECESSARY NOISE

Several of the Stars readers have
asked it TO make mild roar about
the fire chief driving around town in
the small truck and making consider
able noise as he did so. The Star is
surprised that everybody who has
been in the town the last half a dozen
years hasn't noticed that the present
chiefs predecessors have done the
same thing. The fire chief is under
instruction from the chairman of the
fire committee not to leave the station
while on duty without taking the
truck with him, or rather its taking
him. The good sense of this rule is
apparent If the chief is absent from
the station when a fire alarm comes
in, he can return to it more quickly in
the truck, or as is often done, go
straight to the fire. 1t must be re-
membered that the firemen are always
on duty, even when asleep or at their
meals, unless they have an official
leave of absence. The fire chief has
to drive around town good deal,
looking after fire plugs, keeping plans
of the streets in his mind, SO as to
| map out the best route TO fire and
other important business for the de-
partment. He doesn't 'tjoyride" in the
truck, and as the truck has no muf-
fer, but was built to make a noise
when running. he can't drive quietly
Mr.. Raymond is an efficient FIRE chief
quiet and transformations, and not
given to making himself conspicuous
which facts we hope our readers viii
bear in mind.

In choosing the form of memorial
of the Florida soldiers who fell in the
world war, the "Citizens Memorial
Committee of Jacksonville has decid-
ed on young man, stark naked,
springing off a globe into space. If
the young men who laid down their
lives for their country could return to
this world for a few minutes TO see
the memorial, they would put in the
first half of their time laughing at
the freak and the other half in pro-
test against their memory being per-
petuated by such a ridiculous object.
There are many noble and sensible
ideas for statue for our Florida
dead. One of the finest memorials We
ever saw was the heroic-sized figure
of a riheman on the state capitol
grounds at Admission, Tex. Clad IN
buckskin, his long rifle in one hand,
the other shading his eyes, he gazed
steadily to the west. A statue of a
Florida soldier, loaded with full kit,
leaning on his rifle, as he stopped
for a minutes rest, while on long
march toward the enemy, would look
much better than one looking like he
was trying to jump a barbed wire
fence in his birthday clothes.

BUY FLORIDA BEEF

The following from the st. Peters
burg Times is sensible and timely:
"Possibly the only way for the cat
tie growers to tide over the Ill condi-
tions which now assail thenl-that
fact that no markets outside the state
are open to then1-is TO fill the people
OF the state with the understanding
that Florida beef, properly handled,
is as good for the table as the beef
from any other state. The cry of sGi'
me western beef" has become so COM
mon that it has gotten to be an ex-
pensive habit in many households
but the fact remains that in the ma
jDrity of cases when the meat is cook
ed in proper fashion and seasoned as
i'll should be there are really few who
can detect the one from the other.
This assertion may be disputed by
rlany--but it can be substantiated by
as many more. What is needed in
this state-for it is probable that sew
eral years win pass before the quar-
antine shall be lifted-is propaganda
well written and well distributed that
Florida beef is of as good quality as
that which is imported. Florida is
now q corn producing state-and the
beeves can be rounded out as well IN
this state as anywhere else and, prob
ably, cheaper than if raised here, ship
ped to the middle-west to be finished,
and then shipped back to Florida as
western beef. The meat-eaters here
have become bunch of faddists-
and it is time for the cattle producers
to teach them something. Florida
must eat her own tick-laden beef-or
there'll be many man bankrupt be-
fore another six months. The meat Is
good-even if the hides are almost
llnsaleable because of their imperfec-
lions; and if the supply shall be
greatly diminished the growers will
realize their previous mistakes and
will see that the fever tick is totally
eradicated from the state. 1t will be
then that the state will take up the
production of cattle in immense guam
titles and will thereby swell all bank
accounts. They will raise better
grades of cattle because it can be
done just as cheaply-once the pro-
ject is properly stated; and the in
creased amounts they will fetch will
be an incentive to keep improving.
But unless there shall be an era OF
consuming the Florida product and a
negation to buy the imported beef,
stock producers can hope for no better
times. They have learned that their
efforts to discourage the elimination
of the tick were wrong-and they
realize that it would have been money
lin their pockets to have urged that
compulsory dipping be. insisted upon.
AS matters now stand Florida cattle
are barred from other states, and,
with the only packing house in the
state closed, there seems to be no
market except Cuba. That market.
alone, cannot consume the surplus
cattle in this state for considerable
time-even if it should refuse any
other shipments; and precisely what
sort of market can be found there al
this time depends largely upon the
missionary work that is being done
by the secretary of the Florida Cattle
Raisers' Association. Let the public
have for its slogan-'Buy Florids
Beef Only in this way-and b.
sticking to it--can hundreds of stocl
growers come out even"

law is so loosely drawn that it gives US
control over boxing and wrestling only.
The name would infer that it was in.

powers"
Chairman Muldoon specifically stated
that the intention of the new commits

however, that the commission will dis.
cuss the matter of seeking additional
powers at considerable length befors

Fine Game by Schmandt

CINCINNATI, June 14.-Ed Pfeffer
proved another false alarm for the
Brooklyn Dodgers to-day and the Reds
wiped them up by to 2. The Dodgers
move to Pittsburgh tonight for four
games, having lost three out of four
here and four straight in ST. Louis.
Ten hits were combed by the Dodgers
from Southpaw Eppa Rixey, who took
the measure Of the Giants here last
Friday, but except for punching two
hits for run in the first and three
for another run in the sixth the
Dodgers could make no real headway.
Rixey had them at his mercy in
pinches, while the Reds made six runs
from their eight hits in seven innings
off Pfefer.
When Miljus pitched the eighth the
Reds punched three hits off the young
right handler for another run. One of
the hits off Miljus was purely tech
nical. 1t went to Kopf under the rules
when his batted ball hit Duncan on
his way to second.
Ed Konetchy reported sprained

wares at first and he played an ex-

lieved the congestion on the bases to
some extent by sending sacrifice fly
