Washington, D. C.-The Bureau of
the Census, of the Department of
Commerce, announces, subject to cor
rection, the following preliminary
figures from the 1920 census of agri-
culture for the United States, with
comparative figures for 1910:

Chickens on Farms
The number of chickens on farms
in the United States on January i,
1920, according to the Fourteenth
Census, was 359, ,537,385, while the
number of, chickens 3 3months old and
over on April s15,, 1910 was 280,340,-
957. In making any comparisons
the change in the date Of
enumeration, from April Is in 1910 to
January Lin 1902, must be taken I'M
to account. Since many chickens are
slaughtered or marketed every year
between January 1 and April Is, an
enumeration on the latter date would
show a, smaller number of chickens
on farms than one made. in January
OF the same year.. The number of
chickens shown for 1910 is therefore
too small foraa fair comparison with
the 1920 figure. The effect of. the
change in the date of enumeration
would be most marked in. those states
where many chickens are marketed
during the first 31as months of the
year .and less Important i'm those
states where most. of. the surplus
stock is disposed of before January l.
Thenumber of chickens on farms,
as reported for 1920, exceeds the
number reported for 1910 by 79, 1885,
426, or 1913 per cent The actual I'M
crease, after making allowance for
the change in. the date OF -enumera-
tion,i would doubtless be- considerably
less than this, and might even be
about as low as the increase in the
production of eggs, So per cent.

number of chickens {On hand In 1929

ANDY IS A GOOD SPORT

A good many people have wondered,
since the election, if Mr.. 4. A. Winner
would contest Dr. Henry's seat IN the
council. The Star has felt sure that
Mr.. Winner would do no such thing, as
i believed he was better citizen and
better sport than to dispute the
plainly and overwhelmingly pro-
nounced wish of the people. That
our opinion of "Andy" was correct is
proven BY the following document,
which he submitted to the council
Tuesday night:
To the City Council of the City of
0cala, Gentlemen:
Since there has been some question
as to the eligibility of DR.. Fl. W. Hen
ry to serve as councilman for the city
of Ocala from the first ward, / feel
that it is only appropriate that there
should be some expression from me in
regard thereto.
The people of 0cala have very
clearly shown thar they desire that
the policies as to the administration
of city affairs advocated by DIR.
Henry, be carried into effect While
am still convinced that time will
show that my position was the one
best adapted to the interests of the
clty, still | do no. believe that any
ltechnicality should be allowed to in
terfere with the people of Ocala hav-
ing what they want For this reason
/ trust that DR. Henry viii be declared
elected and be seated without any de-
lay what ever, and promise him my
hearty support and cooperation in
the advancement Of our community.
Respectfully, A. A. Winer.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR
JUDGE ALEX WYNNE


Long before the appointed time peo-
pie began to~asserlbIe from all the
surrounding country at '.La Corona, I"
the home at Eastlake of Judge Alex
Wynne, to do honor and reverence at
the last sad rites for he who for
twenty-six years had gone out and in
among them, their friend ard neigh
Dor, judge and counselor.
At 2:30 o'clock Rev. Mr.. Albright
of the Weirsdale Presbyterian church,
began the services by reading the
twenty-third Psalm, followed by
prayer. Then taking up the words of
the Psalm, beautiful and comforting
words were spoken and enlarged upon
during the services. The two old and
ever new hymns, Nearer My God to
Thee" and abide With Me-" to the
low and softened strains of the piano,
were sung, and with another short
prayer for guidance and strength, the
announcement waz made that the
services would be concluded at the
grave.
The pail bearers. Mr.. Ernest Lyle,
Mr.. Robert Douglas, Mr.. McLane,
Mr.. Jacoby, Mr. Julian Har1ell and
Mr.. Overton carefully and reverently
carried the casket out and placed it
upon the truck which assumed un-
wonted dignity as its precious burden
was placed upon Il. The long process
sion followed around the beautiful
shores of Lake Weir, silently vending
its way to the cemetery at Oklawaha,
where at his request, as he said to his
wife: Josie. don't bury me alone,
bury me among people" he was laid
to rest.
Arriving at the cemetery, the body
was lowered into the open grave Rev.
Albright in fervent prayer for the
afflicted wife, who alone remains of
all his family to mourn his loss, con-
signed the body, earth to earth, ashes
to ashes. The Masons then. took
charge of the services and with beau
tiful and solemn ceremonies, con-
cluded the Services. Quickly the
mound of earth was raised and cover
ed by loving hands with a profusion
of flowers, which had been sent by a
large circle of friends, tokens of love
and sympathy. And so, amidst the
signing of the pines and the sunlit
sky by day and the moon and stars
keeping the silent vigil at night, 'the
judge on the hill" was left with the
speople,' resting.

memory of our dearly beloved sister,
Ann E. Holly, who was born Dec. q.
1887, and died Sept. p, 1921. She
was married to Franklin S. Holly,
Jan 2, 1867. Their home was blessed
with seven children, FIVE girls and two
boys Two sons, three daughters and
a devoted husband, also several
grandchildren are left to mourn her
passing.
She was a. member of Oklawaha
Bridge Baptist church for more than
forty years, was a true Christian and
lived an exemplary life, comforting
those of heavy heart. To know her
was to love her She win be missed by
all who knew her and her place in the
home and community can never be
filled. But our loss is her gain. She
was afflicted for several years, the
last few years being unable. to leave
her home, but she bore her many af-
fictions with resignation and patience,
and for one afflicted as she was, pos
sessed most cheerful spirit.
Teherefore be t resolved, That we
as church bow to the supreme viii
Of our Lord and that we extend to the
bereaved family and loved ones our
Christian sympathy and that a copy
OF these resolutions be sent them; that
we dedicate page of our minutes to
her memory.
Hear what the voice from Heaven
proclaims
For all the pious dead.
Sweet is the SAVIOR of their name,
And soft their sleeping beds.
They die in Jesus and are blessed;
How kind their slumbers are.
From suffering and from sin released,
sAnd free from every snare.
Far from the world of toll and strife,
They're present with the Lord;
The labors of their natural life
End in large reward.

Shipping Board to Reduce
 l; Number of Ship Operators

WASHINGTON, April 18.-Sub- stantial reductions in the number of operators of Shipping Board vessels and the amount of government ton mage on ocean trade routes will be made shortly, in the interest of economy and efficiency, according to Chairman William Benson.
 Established trade routes will be maintained, but because of the slump in shipping it will be advisable to re. duce the tonnage.
 Shipping Board operators have heen reduced from about 1S0 to 97 he added. and it is planned to cut this number substantially Overhead expenses, he said, are being reduced in proportion to the operating re- auctions in the last few months. the overhead having been cut from $26 100000 to $16,0eQ 900 in a year.
 Withdrawal of government tonnage from the ceastwise trade is going on steadily, he said because of un- profitable conditions in that trade Intereoast3l services, he added, are the only ones showing profits.
