JAPAN STANDS ALONE Great Britain is officially on record as willing to abandon her spheres of influence and exclu id ve territorial privileges in China; France has al ready indicated her willingness to do eoj the favorable position of J the United States is well known, and Japan's is one of general acceptance of the principle of abandonment, tha with conditions that may impose some difficulty.

ETIQUETTE OF THE' FLAG MUST BE RESPECTED (Associated Press) Jacksonville, Nov. 19. The laxity of some persons in observing military regulations in the use of the Ameri can flag for decorative purposes has aroused the ire of Major W. L. Car bine, veteran of the Spanish and world wars, and he lis authority for the statement that hereafter infrac tions of flag etiquette will be prose cuted. The Jacksonville veteran in a tetter to a local newspaper referred to use of the flag for decorative pur- 4pcgea en Armistice Pay and pointed out that it should never be festooned but allowed to fly free and explained other details. Irregular, U3e of the flag was un doubtedly caused by unfamiliarity "with the rules of flag usage laid down by the army and navy, he continued and so fa ras he is concerned the vio lators will be given another chance. "Nothing will be dene about it this time, the major said. "Nothing has been said about it before. But here after if there are any infringements oa the rules of the flag there will be action in the courts. I mean it." PROPOSITION SUPPORTED BY BRITISH LABOR PARTY London, Nov. 19.

IHl I CM EI The United Statesman Well Afford to Junk the West Virginia. If Its Proposition is Accepted " (Associated Press) Washington, Nov. . 19. Launched as one of the proudest, greatest bat tleships ever designed by the Ameri can navy, only to be scrapped within p few months, appeared to be the fate of the superdreadnaught West Vir ginia today when she slipped ':. from the ways of the Newport News Ship building and Dry Dock Company. The American naval reduction plan pre sented to the armament conference provides for scrapping the West Vir ginia, which is in the same class and power as the Maryland, soon to be commissioned, and if the American plan is accepted the West Virginia, which is about sixty-five per cent complete will never be finished. DR. HENRY'S PLATf ORM In response to a petition from a number of citizens of the first ward, I am a candidate for the city council from that ward. I appreciate the confidence shown by those signing my petition and fully realize the responsibility I would assume to the citizens of Ocala should it be their pleasure to elect me to this office. In common with all good citizens I am in favor of an economical and effi cient administration of the city affairs. - . Inasmuch as our present city char ter provides for a city manager, I am unreservedly in favor of putting it into operation and giving it a fair trial. ' I am unable to. see any reason why a generally accepted and well tested business method should not work as well when applied to public as to pri vate business and feel confident that with a competent man devoting his whole time to the business of the city and assisted by a council representing the citizens we 'may expect better re sults than under our present method of procedure. - " : 'I have lived in Marion county for a number of years and though only a resident of our city for a compara tively short period of time, I am, as a property owner and taxpayer," as much concerned as any citizen in all that mayXadd to the prosperity and progress of our city.

FREIGHT RATES WILL BE MORE FAVORABLE TO FLORIDA A dispatch from Washington says: 'The news received here today of an early reduction of ten per cent in freight rates on citrus fruits and all farm products in indeed gratifying to me," states Senator Park Tramjnell, who has been unusually active fe,r some time trying to bring about a. reduction in ; freight rates. Senator Trammell says that while this reduc- ion is not as much as it should be it will assist toward relieving the peo ple of his state from the present ex orbitant freight rates. This pro posed reduction and the repeal of the government tax on -freight and passenger charges, which repeal is in ine with the fight made by Senator Trammell, will mean a reduction of about fifteen " per cent in freight on citrus fruits, vegetables and other farm - products - produced . in Florida. Senator Trammell vigorously opposed atd voted against the present rail road law under which the railroads have, been making such high freight and passenger charges, and was prob ably the first member of either branch of Congress that begun- an active ef fort for a reduction in freight rates and fofThe repeal of the government tax on transportation charges. He has done all that he could to force the freight reduction and to have the tax discontinued." , Mr. John D.

AUXILIARY KNOWS HOW TO PROVIDE THE EATS Will Have a Lunch Counter in Rest Room at the Marion County Fair the The American Legion will have a lunch counter at the Marion County Fair.'

CHO-CHO" Cho-Cho, the health clown, appear ed at the Temple theater today, from 12 to one o'clock, and gave a talk on health, the value of eating the right kind of things and the wrong, in eating the things that have no nutri tious value. He said that milk and ee-ers were the two foods that are ab solutely necessary to a person's diet, also the benefits of cocoa and choco late made of milk and not the kind of milk that comes in a can. Among the beneficial foods h?r men tioned eating plenty of green vege tables for children, but . such vege tables as peppers, cucumbers, rad ishes and pickles should be thrown in the trash cam ' Cho-Cho said this applied particularly to children, but the same advice was good advices for grown-ups too, especially milk and butter and why grown-ups should give up drinking milk has always been a mystery to him, unless it is a lack of brains. In the cooking of food the three "B's" were emphasized boil, broil and bake. Excellent health rules were playing out of doors, sleeping with the win dews wide open and drinking plenty of water every day. He told why the teeth should be brushed every day and the correct way to brush them, and the bad habits of neglecting this practice, such as decay, toothache, etc. - All of thi3 excellent advice was not a dry lecture but presented and il lustrated in such a way as to appeal to -children of all ages and to be re membered by them. ' Cho-Cho concluded with some "stunts" that greatly amused his au dience. The temple was literally filled with children and a number of grown-ups took advantage of the occasion. Cho Cho the health clown, has been all over the country, under the auspices of the Children's Welfare Organiza tion of New York and in this state under the State Federation of Wom an's Gabs. He was brought to Ocala by that live and up-to-date organiza tion, the Business and Professional Woman's Club of Ocala and in every way fulfilled the good reports that had preceded his appearance.
