A, large number of our citizens want
Dr. Chace to be a candidate for the
office of alderman at large at" the
coming city election. He is one of the
best men in Ocala for the place.
Bulgaria denies that she has Ger
man officers in her armies. Judging
by the way the Bulgars fought in
1912-13, they do not need to import
officers.
Advices from Marianna state that
Hayes Lewis will not be a candidate

ence to our city:
"Ocala, Fla. Rows of majestic
trees, beautifully draped with moss,
border the streets of this attractive
town. The famous Silver Springs,
the terminus of two Oklawaha river
steamer lines, which ply between that
point and Palatka, is only six miles
distant, and is easily reached by au
tomobile, carriage or bicycle, over a
splendid hard roadway. Ocala's
Country Club and its golf links, said
to be the prettiest nine-hole course in
Florida, which is accessible to tour
ists, and its two firstclass hotels, at
tract many visitors."

CODRINGTON IS OPPOSED
TO A COMPROMISE
A few weeks ago, it was announc
ed that if Britain shut off the supply
of cotton, it would soon be impossi
ble for the Germans to make am
munition. Late dispatches announce
that the Germans are making ex
plosives out of wood pulp, of which
they have plenty.
The Star, desires to impress on the
citizens of Ocala the necessity and
propriety of their turning out in
force on Farmers' Day to help the
country people clean up the fair
grounds. It is one of the matters
that should be particularly looked
after by the Board ' of , Trade at its
meeting tomorrow night.
Mr. W. T. Haizley of Tampa, cash
ier of the Florida Citrus Exchange,
was in town yesterday and attended
the meeting of the local citrus grow
ers' exchange and packing house as
sociation and gave them a very inter
esting talk and some valuable sugges
tions. Incidentally, he brought up for
the local citrus boys $4500 in cash
from the parent organization's treas
ury.
President Wilson will be at the
opening of the World's Series in Phil
adelphia Friday, and all Ocala people
who will be at the Temple theater at
the same time can have a good report
of the game right off the wires. A
few years ago, Ocala people would
have had to wait for this report
twenty-two hours. Let all admirers
of the game turn out in force and
help the public-spirited men who
make this public accommodation pos
sible. V
alrous, representing to 'my mind the
noblest principles men ever contend
ed for, it being the custof for the
sons of our veterans to hold their an
nual meeting and reunion at th-3
same time and place, the Marion
County Board of Trade extends you
through its secretary a warm wel
come ana cordial invitation to coma
to Ocala Oct. 27-20th, as. the date
fixed by General Roseborough for the
holding of the veterans' reunion.
This may be Ocala's last oppor-
unity to extend her hospitality to
these grand old survivors of the lost
cause reunited and happy under the
Stars and Stripes. Come, come; with
open arms and warm hearts we bid
you welcome, join with us in honor
ing their visit to Ocala.
May the guardian of peace keep
close vigil over them, the Sons and
Daughters, ,and at last give us a
grand, glorious, triumphant reunion
around the white throne with the
great captain to welcome all.
Yours truly,
J. D. Rooney, Secretary.
The editor of the News expects to
attend the big meeting of the various
press associations of Florida, to be
held in Jacksonville October 13, 14
and 15, and he gives notice that he
will oppose any effort, made by any
one, to secure the passage of a reso
lution favoring the granting of rail
road mileage in exchange for advertis
ing. If an editor wants to exchange
subscriptions or advertising for stove
wood or potatoes, bread or meat, with
any individual or firm, well and good;
but the rule must not apply to quasi
public utilities. The newspapers of
Florida are today the freest, the most
outspoken, the cleanest in the United
States, and they must remain that
way. We want no affiliation with "the
interests." We never want it to be
intimated that we are "controlled by
railroad passes." Let the railroads
continue to pay for their advertising
in cash, and the editors pay for their
transportation in cash. We might as
well make an effort to exchange ad
vertising for postage, which amounts
to more to us, in dollars and cents.

ON THE JOB
Dr. Cook, who claimed to have dis
covered the North Pole, was arrested
by the British in Burma a few weeks
ago. He was on his way to the Him
, alayas, intending to try to climb
Mount Everet, the highest mountain
in the world. The British suspected
him of being a German spy and con
fi seated his moving picture outfit.
Afterward, they released him, but re
fused to allow him to proceed. Dr.
Cook lectured in Ocala summer before
last.
Two entire pages of the September
number of "Fire and Water Engineer
ing," the New York magazine devot
ed to fire protection, are "given to the
department of Miami and its appar
atus. There are pictures of the cen
tral fire station and the aerial truck
and a portrait of Chief Engineer
Chase. It is of interest to Ocala fire
men and property owners, because
the city has ordered from the Amer
ica La-France Co. a combination
motor truck, an engine in successful
use in many cities and bound to add
to the efficiency of our department. A
similar machine is in use in Miami.
If Bulgaria joins the Teutons and
Turks, she will help them immense
ly, but she will suffer herself. Her
southern coast is open to the Allies
and her western to the Russians. She
will certainly be attacked at once. If
Greece joins the Allies, they can send
troops and supplies thru Saloniki
into Serbia probably much faster than
the Teutons can force their way
south. It is only about sixty miles
from the Hungarian frontier across
the northeast corner of Serbia to
Bulgaria, but they will be a mighty
rough sixty miles for an invading
army. The way will be across the
mountains in the face of men who
have amply proven their fighting
ability. The advent of Bulgaria into
the war will almost certainly bring
Roumania in on one side or the other.
It is not possible to say which side,
but she probably favors the Allies.

Mr. A. E. Barnes of Tampa, the
new manager for the Ocala packing
house, is in the city and has assumed
his duties as manager for the new in
dustry. Mr. Barnes is an experienced
man, has been with the Florida Citrus
Exchange in Tampa for-several years
and prior to that time was for many
years manager of one of the largest
local packing houses in California,
He thoroughly understands his busi
ness and is going to be right on the
job till the house is up, the machin
ery installed and every box of the
fruit has passed through the house
and gone to market.

WESTERN UNION LINES TO

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany now has several lines to New
Orleans. The work of restoring these
lines was greatly impeded on account
jof heavy rains, aji their efficiency is
at present below normal, due to heavy
wind and continued rain. The damage
was so severe that train service by
some of the routes will not be restor

the appreciation of the individual
Sons of the state of Florida for the
courteous invitation you have so cor
dially extended.
I am handing you general order

OCTOBER EIGRTR
Suggestion From Dr. Blitch as to the
IJest Way to Celebrate
"Farmers' Day"
We are indebted to Dr. Blitch of
Blitchton for the suggestion that we
have a work day and clean up the fair
grounds, preparatory to getting ev
erything in order for the fair which
s now so near.
The fair management agrees with
Dr. Blitch that such, a getting to
gether of the men of the county will
result in much good to all concerned.
With this in view they have set the
day designated as "Farmers Day" by
the governor, Friday, October 8th, as
the most fit time for such a meeting.
The day designated as "Farmers'
Day" is for the farmer and so is the
Marion County Fair. Brother farmer
do you know that it would be impos
sible to have a fair without you?
Ocala men, do you know we cannot
ave a fair without your staunch
support.
This fair is for the good and enjoy
ment of all, so let us get together at
our fair grounds as early as possible
on the morning of October 8th and
put things in good shape and save to
our association the money that would
have to be paid out for this work.
We very much desire that all parts
of the county should be represented,
and would especially like to have the
chairmen of the different committees.
in order to discuss plans for the com
pletion of the committee work.
Bring your lunches and come arm
ed with forks, rakes and hoes. We
can also use to good advantage three
or four teams with wagons.
Don't forget the date, and every
man in the county who can possibly
do so be on hand. If you can't come,
send some one in your place.

ORDER OF EASTERN STAR
(St. Petersburg Times)
The Ocala Star received the laure
for the first and briefest and best edi
torial sermon on the Mendenhall
tragedy, and it is now entitled to it
for the first and briefest and best one
on the verdict. An entire editorial
consists of these nine- words:
"After a few years Mendenhall will
be pardoned out."
And aye! there's the rub. It is
probably true. That doubtless is why
so many who do not wish the life of
any man deliberately taken neverthe
less blame the jury for recommend
ing mercy. So much of all Florida
history warrants the conviction that
what was intended for mercy will re
sult in full pardon. The pardoning
system and practice of Florida car
ries a terrible load of guilty respon
sibility for criminals and crimes in
the state whose good name it is sup
posed to uphold and protect.
