their plea, for the class which they
represent, namely, the poor, sick and
needy of Ocala. for they still are with
rs There is food, clothing, shoes,
wood and bedding to be bought now

children, aged men and women, who

adverse hand of affection and sick
ness, through no fault of theirs. find
themselves unable to cope with the re-
lentless~waves of poverty and sickness
and are thrown about like driftwood
on the shores or need and sorrow and
who need what you and / can give

caring for themselves. But we cared

two to ten years, almost wholly sup

The attorneys for the citizens who
have decided to resist the action of the
board of commissioners of state insti-
buttons. to have the proposed addition
to the capitol built on other plans
than those laid down by the legisla-
ture, inform the Star they are ready
to begin the fight and that their clients
have empowered them to carry it to a
finish. officials of this and other
states are too much given to warping
acts of the Legislature to suit their
own ideas. A lesson along that line
will be of benefit to the public interest.

The following is copy of the no.
tive that has been sent by H. M.
Hampton and Anderson & Anderson,
to the board of commissioners of state
Institutions:
Ocala, Fla, Dec. 10, 1921.
To the Board of Commissioners of
State Institutions, Tallahassee, Fla.
Gentlemen: By chapter 1922, of the
laws of 1921. approved May 16, 1921,
you are authorized and empowered
and directed to arrange for, under
take, and procure the enlargement,
alteration and repair Of the capitol
building, in substantial conformity
to the general plan which has been
outlined and submitted, and in accord
ance with such detailed drawings and
specifications as shall be prepared by
competent architects. The act further
provides by section 3 thereof that the
sum of S250,00O. or so much thereof
as may be required, is appropriated
tout of any moneys in the state treas
ury not otherwise appropriated"
We observe that you have advertis-
ed for bids to be received for this
work on December H. We have been
employed by certain citizens of the
state of Florida in the matter, and
from our Investigations it appears
that there is no money in the state
treasury mot otherwise appropriat-
ed, +" which may be applied towards the
extension and enlargement of the
capitol building. and therefore there
is no authority upon your part to let
any contract, AMI it is our purpose
to undertake to restrain the execution
of any contract should such be let.
We are therefore on behalf of our
clients filing this protest against the
acceptance of say bid, or the execu-
ton by you of any contract binding
upon the state q Florida for the con-
struction of such extension work.
1t is our information, and we be-
lieve we have the correct statement,
that other appropriations previously
made are yet unsatisfied, and the act
does not contemplate the doing of
this work, or the exrlending of this
money so long as other appropria-
tons remain uncompleted.
We are further prepared to show
from the records that when the other
appropriations previously made have
been cared for that there win not be
any funds in the state treasury with
IN the next twelve months, at least,
for the purpose of capitol extension
Is provided for in the act.
You are therefore requested to file
this protest, and if any contract Is
let, it is our intention to proceed i'm
mediately to restrain the performance
of any work under It

MEMORIES

AS little children we used to sit or
lie in front of the fire and picture in
fancy, fairy scenes in the hot Goals
or great battles raging IN the burn
ing embers. Today we gaze in the
fire, but the same fantastic images
are lost to us.
Then, our young minds pictured
future hopes-now, pleasant memories
of the past take their place.
So it is when we look at a photo
graph of dear friend or relative who
perhaps has passed out of our lives.
1t revives the old love and recollec-
lions most pleasant.
Your photograph viii be appreciat-
ed by those who love you always.

We have received and looked thru
with pleasure little volume of poems,
entitled Songs of the Southland and
Other Verse;" by George Graham
Currie,. who is a poet by nature and a
Floridian by adoption. Mr.. Currie's
productions are mostly suitable to
read while swinging in a hammock
on the back veranda and a summer
Sunday afternoon. If all people could
be persuaded to irnbibe them in that
manner the preachers would not have
to worry so much about joy riding
and other Sunday sins at any rate,
not while the warm weather lasted.

That four-power agreement on Pa
cifc affairs will be the greatest guar
antee that can be given for peace for
the United States, as it will come
nearer than anything else to remov-
ing chances for war with Japan, the
only power now likely to have trou-
bic with America Of course there
will be the usual mossback chatter
about "entangling alliances" but it is
to be hoped our Senate will be up-to-
date enough to ratify the agreement.

Judge:
1t was in the country and Berlu,
who lived about {. mile away, had
called on his girl. As he was saying
goodnight, outside on the porch, it
began to rain, and Rosine persuaded
him to wait until it was over He had
waited for over an hour and the storm
was getting worse. At the end of an
other hour it had acquired the proper
tions of hurricane
At this juncture Rosine suggested
that Berlu should spend the night un-
der her roof. and Berlu readily ac-
cepted. Excusing herself, the girl
went to put in order the guest room,
and as it was the first time that her
beloved was spending a night in her
fathers house, she took pains TO make
everything nice and comfortable. This
took some time. When at last every
thing was fixed she came downstairs
to the parlor. Berlu was there all
right, but he was al out of breath as

HUGH EXPENSES
Of GOVERNMENT
Total Appropriations About the
Same as Last Year, a Rec
ord for Peace Time

Congress, despite its volume of
talk on governmental economy,
will make permanent and annual
appropriations Of more than $4,-
O0,000,0O0 during the first six
months of this year, official reports
of the senate and house sppropria.
tions committee STOW.
The amount is virtually the same
as appropriations made last year,
and is one of the greatest peace
time allotments ever made BY con-
gress in such a short time. Re-
auctions of taxes, which already
have shown a big shrinkage because
of the slump in business is thus
made more difficult, congressional
leaders admit.
The appropriations, Representa-
tive Good. Iowa. chairman of the
house appropriations committee,
declared show the necessity for an
immediate reorganization and re.
ductiOn of governmental activities.

tiently awaited the coming OF the
owner. He soon came and when
the oficeas emerged from their bid
ing the moonshiner ran. The
officers fred several shots at the
fleeing man but be made bis get
