handler, and Louis H Chazal, adju-
tant. Of Marion County Post No. 81,
who attended the conference. The
conference was well attended and one
Of the national vice commanders was
present. The gathering was held for
the purpose of acquainting the post

! A drive for members of the legion,
new and old, will be started today
tiaI oughout the Florida department.

should join the legion not so much for
what they will get out of it as for
what good will be done by becoming
member of this national organization
Of men and women who served in the
vorld war. An immediate reason for
joining the American Legion is that
the legion has taken up the fight for
better disqualification of the disabled
veterans AS the vice commander
stated in Palatka, quoting the COM
nlander of the Illinois department,
disabled men are being put in So
called hospitals in which a man
would not put his dog"

could TO make the visiting legionaires

The big subscription campaign
which has just opened in the Star
finds nearly a score of the ladies of
this vicinity with 25,OOO votes as a
starter. AS yet, of course, none OF
the ladies have been able to get any
decided lead over the rest of the field,
and in fact it is very doubtful if all
of the candidates will make an active
canvass, as a number of the ones In
the list above have been nominated by
their friends without their knowledge,
and may not make the race. However,
enough of those nominated have sig
nified their entention of entering to
make this the most interesting cam
paign ever staged in this section, not
only in the amount of money expended
for prizes. but also in the amount OF
interest shown. Instead of interest
.ahs ting as one might suppose afte-
the first excitement had passed. 1t Is
growing continually. There is not 4
man. woman or child within the radius
of many miles. who is not acquainted
with the details of this magnificent
offer in which a STUDEBAKER Six
and many other valueble prizes, are
to be give naway. The candidate who
pclls the largest number of votes NJ
tc 7 o'clock, February 18th, is to get
the STUDEBAKER free, without one
cent of cost. The ones running sec
ond, third, fourth, etc, will get the
other valuable prices. And under the
iliberal method of distribution, any
young lady of this vicinity has the
same chance of winning one of thes'
valuable prizes.

school court the Ocala basket ball
girls defeated Duval for the first time

AMERICAN PACKERS MAY
CONTROL WORLD MARKETS

London, Dec. 30.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press).-Aprehen-
sions of a worldwide meat control by
American packing firms were disclos-
ed IN recent report to the Board of
Trade by a subcommittee of the
standing committee on trusts.
"At present. the American meat
companies have nearly 60 per cent of
the beef output from Argentina and
Uruguay and about rs per cent of the
capacity of the meat plans built or
building in Brazil" the reported stat
ed. Moreover. they control nearly
oae-half of the whole trade of Smith
field (the great London market) and
they have also solid footing in Can
ada and Australia
Fears as to>the extension of their
activities are not confined to the Unit
co Kingdom, but are equally strong in
the dominions," it continues.
"The more they may be able to ex-
tend their operations in South Amer
lea, the more they may be able to d.
vert supplies from reaching the Unit
ed Kingdom, and the more they are
able to control distributive business
here, the more securely they viii have
the British consumer in their grip"
Suggestions were made by the COM
mittee to restrain, by taxation and by
subsidizing refrigerated shipping COM
panies, the expansion of foreign in
terests here, and an international in
vestigation was recommended to 20
into the whole situation with a view
to taking common action.
A rejoinder to the committees fnd-
ings is made by r. H. Cabell. the Lon
don manager of Armour & Co., who
in an interview with a press associa-
tion representative, complains that
none of the American firms were
heard by the committee and charges
that the latter's report was compiled
under "strong prejudice"
Several passages in the report
show clear but very ill-informed
animus against the American firms, =
Cabell states. Particularly in its
reference to Argentina. No one would
guess from the report that the Chi
cago packers entered the Argentina
trade at the request, almost at the en-
treaties, of the British firms which
had opened up the territory and had
paid heavily for their experience and
were anxious to be bought out"
Mr.. Caben suggests that part Of
the supposed animus disclosed in the
report is due to the reluctance of GER
tain British firms to compete with the
less wasteful and more efficient
methods of their American rivals, .
and he says the only effect of the re-
port must be to raise meat prices Al
over the United Kingdom

GNE MORE WEEK ONLY OF
BONUS VOTES

The campaign manager wishes to
impress upon the minds of the candi-
dates that the largest extra vote offer
will close at the close of business for
the day, next Saturday. All subscrip-
tions must be turned into the Star
office on this date or extra votes can
lot be issued. The out of town can
didates have the privilege of mailing
tkeir reports into the office, and extra
votes will be issued if the postmark
on the letter shows it was mailed on
the 22nd This gives the out of town
candidates the same opportunity with
the ladies living in Ocala. Some few
people are under the impression that
more votes will be allowed during the
closing periods than during this per-
led, and the candidate who fails TO
get her full share Of bonus votes is
indeed making a sad mistake.

Toxic, Jan. 17.-Government Off

with guarantees removing the prob

psn the wisdom of reducing. if not
withdrawing altogether her troops
from a country where she possesses
no sovereign rights to the littoral,
which is dominated by her military
