OCALA'S COLORED BOYS
IN THE ARMY
Somewhere' in France.""
Editor Ocala Star: Please allow
space in your paper for a few words
on behalf of the colored boys from
our home town who are now in the
S07th Pioneer Infantry in France.
First, I wish to assure you that
this is a real fighting outfit and was
stationed in the second line trenches,
awaiting orders to relieve the ma
rines and 25th Engineers ion the day
the armistice was signed.
I suppose you have been somewhat
lost as to our whereabouts since we
left the United States. The silence
was unintentional as after arriving
in the theater of operations no news
could be sent back to the Brick City1
by any of the boys until they had
done their full duty in helping- to
make safe the world for democracy.
Ve wish to extend thanks and con congratulations
gratulations congratulations to the Red Cross work workers
ers workers for their untiring kindness and
our appreciation is unlimited. We also
wish the public to know that the boys
from Marion county held their own,
in every capacity.
Special regards to interested per persons
sons persons are sent from Corporal Jose P.
Giles, who is now holding the posi position
tion position of clerk of the supply company
of this regiment. His duty is to handle
all service records and important doc documents
uments documents to and for the regiment.
Private Decnair-Davis, who is a
dispatch runner, has won a lasting
impression both for himself and the
regiment by the manner in which he
handles, repairs and keeps his motor motorcycles
cycles motorcycles and machines in condition for
fast and immediate service. Davis is
considered to be the fastest on the
line. N
Sergeant Samuel P. Holly, Medical
Corps, has made good, having charge
of, the Second Battalion, together with
ten privates (M. C.) under command
of Captain Geo. H. Vankirk, M. C, to
care for two companies of 250 'men
each. The experiences in diagnosing
and treating cases of all kinds, band bandaging
aging bandaging wounds of every conceivable
nature and burying men having been
dead three and four weeks in very
trying as well as a great experience.
It is a pleasure in experiences to be
a sergeant or even a private in the
medical corps, but a pain in actuality
to have to crawl out of a little pup
tent that is only four by six feet in
the wee hours of morning to make a
call. Still we have to go.-
All have done their bit, and altho'
wc cannot bring back to Marion coun
ty and to the Brick City any portioTi
of the kaiser's wearing apparel on his
head, we 'can and will bring to you
and to Marion county a reputation as
spotless as the dear 'old Stars and
Stripes under which we fight.
In hope that we may always "have
manhood, love and loyalty for you, I
wish to remain, sincerely your ser
vant on the field,

that demands instant investigation.
Speaking of the hospital at the
state prison farm at Raiford, Dr.
Kennedy says: ,C
"Our hospital subjects consist most mostly
ly mostly of those who have been beaten up
or worked to death on hard roads and
turpentine. Some have come in "from

the statement of the Hon. A. D. An Andrews,

Florida district, where he said : "We
have been deriving near a hundred
thousand dollars a year from the con convicts
victs convicts which we leased." This he said
in opposition to the plan for working
convicts on the roads of the state.
Are we to understand from the
statement of Dr. Kennedy that the
state is being robbed of its man manpower

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
MAY BE LOST
Mr. "WilsQn goes back to Europe
evidently confident that the American
people are overwhelmingly in favor
of a league of nations, and that their
sentiment will compel the Senate to
ratify a treaty of which the consti constitution
tution constitution of the league is the funda fundamental
mental fundamental principle.
But after the move made by Sena Senator
tor Senator Lodge in the Senate Monday
night, many people are going to won wonder
der wonder if the president is correct in his
estimate, and .among those are going
to be the shrewd diplomats with
whom he, will confer at Versailles. ',
If thirty-three members of the Sen Senate
ate Senate oppose the treaty and persist in
their opposition, they can defeat it.
Mr Wilson's only remedy will be to
appeal to the country. Such an ap appeal
peal appeal cannot be answered before No November
vember November of next year, and even then
the line-up of the Senate cannot be
changed beforeMarch 4, 1921. The
United States -can wraiti on the treaty
that long, but Europe cannot.
And there is no certainty that the
line-up will be changed two years
from now. There is a powerful ops ops-position
position ops-position in the north to the administration-
an opposition due more to
some of Mr. Wilson's appointees and
the incapacity of the democratic
majority in Congress tharf to the
president himself. Alsb, there is a
much greater opposition in the north
to 'the league of nations than peoplt
in the south are aware of. rThe opin opinion
ion opinion that America is being made the
good thing for the whole world is
widespread...
Consequently, the conference at
Versailles may decide "on a treaty

that case such a treaty will probably
be more r like the. old-time compacts
dictated by force ( and accepted by
necessity than Mr. Wilson's plan of
self-determination of peoples,
The action of Senator Lodge and
his supporters puts America in a very
uncertain position and one that will
greatly weaken our influence at Paris.
Mr. Wilson has hitherto been able to
speak with the authority of a states statesman

And, of course, the fact that Her Herron

has been ostracised by the American

The great fault about the Herald is
that it often says that according to
somebody something that isn't ac according

Judge Milton H. Mabry, one of
Florida's most prominent lawyers,
died.at his home in Tampa Sunday.
His remains were laid to rest at Dade
City Monday. Judge Mabry was a
native of Alabama, coming to Florida
in 1879 and settling in Leesburg. He
was for a while the law partner of
Judge William A. Hocker, who. later
became one of Ocala's most honored
citizens. He served in the legislature,
and became lieutenant governor of
Florida in 1884 the last man to hold
the office. He served on the supreme
bench of the state for twelve years,
retiring in 1903. His long life was
usefully and honorably spent and his
death is widely regretted.
TOO MUCH TERRITORY
We regret that Gov. Catts, in his
remarks before the meeting of gov governors
ernors governors and mayors in Washington
Monday, suggested that the govern government
ment government buy fifteen hundred thousand
acres of land on which to settle sol soldiers;
diers; soldiers; also that he said that Florida
could use two million laborers. The
suggestion was a suggestion of graft,
tho we have no idea the governor
meant it as such, and the statement
was a vast exaggeration.
If Congress was to seriously con consider
sider consider an appropriation to buy 1,500,000
acres of Florida land for any purpose,
a yell of graft would go up all over
the world and there would be justi justification
fication justification for it, for such a transaction
could not be put thru without graft
enough to blacken the name of the
state for a generation.
As for Florida being able to use two
million laborers, that was a state statement

presume the state could use -a hun hundred
dred hundred thousand men who were willing
to go out in the fields and work, but
certainly not any more. It couldn't
use that many unless they wrere prop properly,

Gov. Catts was like the man who
said he could whip anybody in the

but we will say a just price for labor
and material. Mr. Burleson says he
must collect for this service $3.50,
and calls it an installation charge.
The phone was never touched. Mr.
Phillips reports the collection to the
government. What does the depart department

Why does Mr. Burleson inflict this
extortionate charge on the user of a

This practice has cost the telephone
company a great deal of business, as
many people rather than pay such a
charge will do without a phone. Prior
to December the charge was $5 for a
residence installation and $10 for a
business installation, even in cases
where the phone was not touched.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
The Many Mysteries of
Nature
- v
BY L. W. BOWER, M. D.
You can take an onion seed and a pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the 6ther you get a nower of
rare beauty. You can plant a poppy seed
and get opium (a dangerous, habit-forming
drug), or you can plant a rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can explain
these mysteries of Nature. Behind the
invisible life germ in each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands.
Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y., long since found out what i3
naturallyvbest for women's diseases. He
learned it all through treating thousands
of cases. The result of his studies was a
medicine called Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This medicine is made of
vegetable growths that nature surely in intended
tended intended for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing-down pains, periodical ir irregularities,
regularities, irregularities, pelvic inflammations, and for
the many disorders common to women in
all ages! of life. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is made of lady's slipper root,
black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard remedy
know that in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre Prescription
scription Prescription they are getting a safe woman's
tome so good that druggists everywhere
sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no
narcotic. Dr. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whiskey
and morphine are injurious, and so he has
always kept them out of his remedies.
Send 10c to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Bullalo, N. Y. for trial pkg. Tablets.
