DOLLAR DAYS ARE POPULAR

Three of Ocala's retail stores par
ticipated in dollar days this year. At
this time especially attractive bar
gains are offered to the public at mon
ey saving prices. Today and tomor-
row are the two days in this week
that have been designated as dollar
days. The firms which have put on
sales are we'll pleased with the re-
sponse that the public has given their
efforts and this morning when the
stores of Rheinarer & Company,
Franks, Inc, and B. Goldman opened
there were many ready to take ad-
vantage of their bargains, and all day
steady trade from townspeople and
out of town customers has been in
progress. Don't forget that dollar
day lasts through tomorrow and take
advantage of the low prices of these
enterprising merchants.

EXPECTING VETO
EVERY HOUR
House Has Votes Enough to Over
come Presidents Objection, But
Senate Is Not Certain

Washington, Sept. 19.-(Associated
Press) The House prepared today to
receive from President Harding his
message vetoing the soldiers bonus
bill. 1t was indicated at the White
House that the message probably had
been completed and some officials ex-
pected it would be transmitted to
Congress after the president discussed
it with the cabinet today.
House leaders arranged in the event
OF a veto to defer until tomorrow the
move to pass the bill over the veto OF
the executive. Friends of the bill ap-
peared confident that more than the
necessary two-thirds majority would
be obtained in the House but did not
seem any too hopeful about the situa-
tion in the Senate. Opponents of the
bonus claimed in that body at least
two or more than the necessary one
third to sustain the veto.

ARC LIGHTS MAKE
PORTRAIT OF OLD ABE

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 19.-Almost
within stones throw of the Univers-
lty of Kansas but probably unknown
to the vast majority of students and
townspeople is a curious natural phe-
nomenon. 1t is an above ground for
nation Of tree roots which, in the
light of an arc street lamp, cast a
shadow profile of Abraham Lincoln.
The likeness of the great emanci-
pator is unmistakable. The bushy
hair, high forehead. shaggy eyebrows
deep set eyes, prominent nose, thick
lips, chin whiskers-are all faithfully
reproduced in the shadow picture
which is nearly twice life size.
Although the profile has appeared
nightly for more than a decade, it ha.
changed scarcely at all.

Coach Bitch was busy instructing the
rockies in the arts they had failed to
learn in the past weeks practice.
Fully thirty men are now out for prac-
tice and things look good for a win
ming team this year. Yesterdays
practice was spent in falling around
the ball. receiving passes and punts.
Some tackling was done and a few
formations were run. Coach Bitch is
taking his linemen few at a time
and training them in the best methods
of offense and defense He is teach
ing them how to work together on
the line and so make the team a unit
of defense. BY the time the Wildcats

of the season they will be in a form
that will make the Celery City lads

HEROIC STRUGGLE
WAS IN VAIN
Would-be Rescuers of the Argonaut
Miners Found Only a
Heap of Dead

Jackson, Cal. Sept. 19.-All forty
seven of the miners entombed in the
Argonaut mine August 27, are dead,
it was announced officially shortly be-
fore nine o'clock last night.
A note found on one of the bodies
indicated that all the men had died
within five hours of the beginning of
the fire August q, officials said.
All the miners were found behind
the second of two buikheads they had
built in a cross-cut 1850 feet down in
the Argonaut mine. Byron o. Pickard
chief of the federal bureau of mines
for this district, was the first man to
get behind the bulkhead and discover
the bodies.
Pickard, on an earlier exploration
behind this bulkhead, had counted
forty-two bodies and expressed the
belief then that there were others
there.
The note found read as follows:
"3 a. m. gas bad"
The same note bore a scrawled fig.
ure a." apparently indicating the
same man had attempted to leave
word for those who might come after
of the condition of the mine at thai
hour
Mine officials declared that he con
dition of the crosscut behind the bulk
head was such that life could not hav,
been sustained there by the entombec
men for more than five hours.
The bodies were found piled on tol
of one another and decomposition hac
progressed so far that identification

AMERICAN GIRL
BEATS THE DUTCH

Volendam, Holland. Aug. 28.-(By
Mail to the Associated Press THE
people of this seaside village have two
sources of income, fishing and the
tourists who come to see the medieval
costumes of the villagers and COM
ment on their adherence to old time
customs. The men catch the one, and
the girls the other. For Volendam
has it's bellies, and the old world attire
OF their forbears becomes them well.
But this year hundreds of Ameri-
can "fappers" have been among Vo-
lendam's visitors, and they have in
troduced chaos. The local girls have
not been blind to the charms which
the swelte American girls seem to
hold for the young men of Volendam
and it is no uncommon sight to see
Volendam misses walking behind
groups of American girls, making
vain attempts to initiate the slouch
ing, lackadaisical walk and blase all
of assumed worId-wisdom.
The debutante slouch, the long
pointed shoes with French heels, the
short, scant skirts and chic hats have
aroused the envy of the young Dutcf
women and created a panic in the vii
lage which may cease to be a grea
mart for souvenirs if its female pop
ulation begins to copy world fashion
sheets.
The village elders are up in arms
Trades are launched against the fol
lies and foibles of fashion. The lace
makers who fashion the quaint whit
caps for women, the manufacturer
who turn out the wooden shoes, an
the shopkeepers who thrive on tn
quaintness of Volendam are conduct
ing an anti-fapper campaign.
Of course there are Dutch fapper!
but the Dutch girls generally have to
much weight to simulate fashio
sheets successfully. and Dutch me
distes lack the skill of American an
French dressmakers. So the Amer
can girls and their extreme attir
have stirred little Dutch girls VIII
were never thrilled by the efforts {
the girls of Amsterdam to copy tn
mannikins of Longchamps.

RUSSIA HOPES FOR
CHEAPER BREAD

Moscow-(By Mail to the Associat-
ed Press).-Cheaper bread and plenty
of it is expected throughout Russia
the coming winter. judging from gov
ernment reports which indicate a
splendid harvest in many districts. The
latest figures announced by the state
statistical bureau indicate a surplus
this fall of more than half a million
pools of bread stuffs. "a pood equals
So pounds.
The new harvest, the bureau says,
promises 2,853, 900 pools. of which
475,0O0 pools will be reserved for
sowing purposes for next season. Last
years crops yielded but 1,566,000
pools of grain. Russia's annual re-
quirements are about 100000 pools.
The government bureaus claim Rus
sia will be able to feed herself next
winter, so far as -four is concerned, but
says she probably will have to import
some fats, meats and other winter re-
quirements.

Mr.. CLYATT OBJECTS
TO PAN HANDLES

Editor Star: 1t seems to me that
the word "asset" has been overworked
in the discussion of the relation of
Silver Springs to the city of Ocala,
conveying the impression that the city
owned Silver Springs and that it was
a municipal swimming hole, that the
city has extensive docks there and
was duty bound to pave and maintain
the five miles of road leading to its
asset. 1t being in the city limits by
a pan handle half f-mile wide, the coun-
ty of course refuses to take care of
this road, as property outside the city
limits is not taxed one cent to main
tain streets in Ocala, but Ocala Is
taxed about ten thousand dollars a
year to help build and maintain coun-
| try roads, or to be wasted as some
prefer to put it. Ocala will be taxed
to pay about one-ffth of the $500,000
bonded debt to build the Dixie High
way, and so far as / know not dollar
will be used to build the highway
through Ocala. To tax Ocala exclus-
lively to maintain five miles of country
road leading to monopoly or private
| ly owned property is an injustice that
should not longer be submitted to. If
necessary to keep up the fiction OF
phantom of having Silver Springs in
the corporate limits of Ocala, to pre-
vent freight rates being doubled over
night, or to prevent the tax rate be-
ing lowered, or if it will appease
please or benefit anybody, corporate
or otherwise, then by all means take
it in by pan-handling the right of way
of the Seaboard railroad, and thu:
throw the present road to Silve1
Springs in or rather on the county
where it rightly belongs. Then th'
city would have an asset indeed. In
stead of having some two miles O.
roadbed and rolling stock, we woul'
have about seven miles of the Sea
board, and instead of being assessed
$4,000, the road would be assesse
about 100000 for it's property in tn
city limits. The Seaboard no doub
would be delighted at this arrange
ment. The city assesses property a
100 per cent, or at full cash value, s
Silver Springs should be assessed a
least 100000 instead of $1,000 as a
present. If we dote so on assets le
US have assets that will not spell lia
bilities. Orange Springs is also G
o can be made an asset to Ocala, and W
can panhandle the o. V. and take

O could panhandle the Coast Line an
take in Blue Springs. We could ais
use Lake Weir and panhandle som
twnety miles more of the Coast Lir

STRIKE IS DRAWING
NEAR settlement
Obstacles to Agreement Being Cleared
Away and Men Returning
To Work

Chicago. Sept. 19.-Adiustment of
misunderstanding and differences
which delayed settlement of the rail-
way shopmen's strike in some roads
favorable to the Baltimore peace ar
rangement was apparent today. There
were hopes that Bert NJ. Jewell. shop
crafts leader, would comb out with
officials of the New York Central lines
differences which prevented agree
ment between the striking shopmen
and the roads which form the New
York Central system. Hopes were
strengthened when the Southern Rail-
way, the Mobile & Ohio, controlled by
the Southern and the Monon, fell in
line with roads accepting the Balti-
more plan and signed an agreement.
Many strikers on these roads are ex-
pected back today at the jobs they
left July 1st.
