L It was a warm evening; so Uncle
I Dan went out to a lawn seat under the
spreading branches of the great tree

f X Dill. Blllie and Jlmmle had been lay lay-v;fngfor
v;fngfor lay-v;fngfor him, so Uncle Dan was cap cap-y
y cap-y tured by the boys on short order.
MSay, Uncle Dan," Blllie began. "We
had a red-hot argumant at school yes yes-VjSSfcerday
VjSSfcerday yes-VjSSfcerday with Carl Newman. Carl said
$ that' German schools were miles ahead
j of our schools and that no one could
come up to the educated German. Well,
-v' Jlmmle got hot under the collar and
j handed It back to him good and plenty.
Jimmie said If their education taught
j them to torpedo Lusltanias, sink, hos hospital
pital hospital ships, murder hundreds of wom women
en women and children, make slaves of
f the Belgians, poison wells, destroy fruit
trees and commit all sorts of crimes,
, then we did not want that kind of
I education here. What do you think
j about It, Uncle Dan? I told Jlmmle
j you spent a lot of time In Europe and
I knew all about schools, so give us your
opinion." r '' '
-Well," replied Uncle Dan, deliber-
ately, "the German schools are very
I thorough ; they furnish exceedingly val val-!
! val-! liable and practical Instruction. The
lndustrial training given there Is prob-
V ably the best to be found. The schools
i as a whole, however, In my opinion,
I appeal to the head only, and never to

Some 'of the. greatest' teachers; and
preachers even defend and Justify her
heartless crushing of Belgians and the
many other atrocious crimes she has
committed in this war. Thank God,
our American education reaches both;

that nut out for Carl to crack. ;
Carl, you know," continued Blllie,;
lias a very smart father who keeps:
him posted on the German arguments. :
S Carl said our government was only;
V an, experiment anyway; that It would
( not last twenty years, and that It
might burst up any old time. Jlmmle
asked him If Germany was so mighty
good, why they did not go back there
'to live.T i :" '-'
Ocr government will go on forever,
won't It, Uncle Dan?" t V
Now," said Uncle Dan, "yon are
raising a big question, and, one that
has troubled me for years. Our gov-
ernment Is still in the experimental
stage ; in' fact. It Is the greatest ex experiment
periment experiment ever undertaken, and if pop popular
ular popular government is to be' successful, a
few things must be done, otherwise, to
f paraphrase the gre'at Lincoln; the gov-
J ernment of the people, by the people

ciy firm conviction," said Uncle Dan,
j In a very Impressive manner, "that if
"' jour country Is to go onv as we hope
and pray, we must' very quickly do
' --r&t Iea8t three things, and I will name
them In the order of Importance as it
appears to me :
"First, adopt compulsory universal
military training of all young men
- physically fit before they reach the
age of twenty years.
"Next, require that every foreigner
I who comes here to live must, within a
reasonable time, say; a year, declare
j !bls intention of becoming an American
; "i2fizen and take the necessary steps to
( do so, thereby, from that moment, as
suming all the obligations of citizen citizenship
ship citizenship of our country, and that means he
must defend pur flag upon equal terms
with our native born, and if he is not
willing to do this, he should be sent
Sack from whence he came."
"That's the stuff," exclaimed Blllie.
' "And, finally, enact such legislation
as will make voting compulsory. Pop Popular
ular Popular government is based upon the
participation of all and the rule of
the majority, and democracy cannot
continue and be successful unless we
live up to thV spirit of the instltu-
. "The first step, however, is the pass passing
ing passing of the Chamberlain bill for univer universal
sal universal military training. If you will get
the leading citizen, and especially the
r-ealtor 01 your paper, iu write yeiauutu
letters to your congressman aricl both
senators, urging their support. It will
helfJ enormously.
"I see by the morning papers," said
Uncle Dan, "that the Rotary clubs of
the entire country, the 11 vest, most effi efficient
cient efficient organization to be found, have
unanimously decided to get back of
the Chamberlain bill and give It loyal
and enthusiastic support. They will
work with the Universal Military
Training league to accomplish this im important

dmore than anything else to make us

a man-o'-war.
I next moved to the Prinzes Irene,

nearly three months. ;
While on board this shin I started
to Pratt's Institute, to which the
government had made arrangements
to send part of the men who had en enlisted

navy. After spending fifteen weeks
there, I was transferred to the naval
electrical school, which is located in

,'SO MUCH SMOKE," ETC.
: Mr. YLt M.. Hampton is one of
Oeala's foremost lawyers. Few men
are his equal in putting an argument
plainly and convincingly before a
jury, and he has the talent rare in a
good speaker of v writing as logically
as he can talk. In his present argu
ment vith the Star, however, he seem?
seeking to cloud rather than clear the
issue. I
The Star,the tother day, advised the
voters of the city to put a question, or
rather two questions, to the cancu
dates for aldermanic offices. The ques
tions were simple and direct. 7 It
wouldn't have put any Candidate,' but
to answer either or both that is if
he was, as he should be, looking out
for thd interest, of the people.
But Mr. Hampton, who is not a can
didate, rushes in and insists that tne
candidates be not questioned. He
doesn't give any reason ; why they"
shouldn't be, but seems to be( very
anxious to protect them in a matter
in wiiicii cava auu cvctjr vire ui mum
is probably able to take care of him
self.
But since he has .butted in, Mi.
Hampton should give good reason
why-the Star's question shouldn't b
put. Instead of that Mr. Hampton
drags in much that is irrelevant,' and
devotes a lanre proportion, of ihis
space to lecturing the Star on its in
accuracy. i
.' Mr. Hampton needn't worry about
the Star's inaccuracy. Its readers,
who are about all the people in, town
who can read, seem to find it accm
ate enough; so far-as that is concern
ed Mr. Hampton also finds it accurate
on those numerous occasions when it
agrees with him.
Mr. Hampton says he is "absolutely
sure, not one out of a hundred people
in the city 'ever heard of the city at
torney's letter you refer to, and I do
- not believe a single candidate, out:
side of those now in office and who
seek, to be re-elected, 'ever ..heard of
it."
.Well, that isn't the Star's fault. It
told of the city attorney's opinion in
v its report of the meeting of the coun
cil at which it was expressed some
months ago, and the opinion has been
on file in the clerk's office ever since.
It is inexcusable in Mr. Hampton as
a leading lawyer, also as a prominent
citizen, that he is not posted on it,
. and his confession on this point shows
that he knows as little about city af
..fairs as he accuses the Star of know
in g. For that matter, we don't think
the people are as forgetful as Mr.
Hampton thinks they are. If the
'-are. why does he object to the Star in
forming them, and why does he sQLdil
igently assist in disseminating the in
formation. ...
. LIr. Hampton seems to .think that
the new charter in some mysterious
xfjiy alters the status of the gas com
panys franchise; also that the city
attorney is not posted on the said
charter. For that matter, the fran franchise
chise franchise is a contract, and we remind Mr.
Hampton of the well-known principle
in law that a contract is binding. It
would be strange if the city attorney
was not familiar with the new char charter,
ter, charter, as he helped the council to draw
ifr- up, and he informed us so late as
day before yesterday that his opinion
on the gas company's franchise stood.
Anybody can see the probability-f-a
conflict of opinion between the inter interests
ests interests of the city and the interests of
the gas company, in which the gas
company would be greatly aided by a
council favorable to it, and by a city
attorney, elected by such a council.
We cannot see our way clear to
adopt Mr. Hampton's suggestion, that
we confess we jumped on something
we didn't know the first thing about.
The tenor of Mr. Hampton's remarks
show -: that while he undoubtedly
delves deep into such questions as he
gives his attention to, he is not spe specially
cially specially well posted on city affairs in
general.

THE CITY ELECTION
The annual city election takes place
next Tuesday, and the people of
Ocala are rather more than usually!
interested m the outcome.
The candidates are as follows:
For Mayor : J. E. Chace, John D.
Robertson.
For Councilman at Large: John H.
Taylor, A. T. Thomas.
. For councilman from First Ward:
A; A. Winer.-
For Councilman from Second Ward:
J. J. Gerig, E A. Osborne.
For Councilman from Third Ward:
D. E.. Mclver, Charles W. Hunter.
For, Councilman from Fourth
Ward: G. A. Nash, F. G. B. Weihe,
J. W. Johnson.
We do not think there is any ques question

man for mayor. We do not see why
any man who cares for Ocala should
want the rule of petty, tyranny that
marked Mr. Robertson's administra

seemed to think that he was the little
lord goddlemitey of Ocala, and to op
pose him in any way was sacrilege.
He tried to make it unpleasant not
orily for officials but for private citi
zens who opposed him. That he was
always honest, that he sometimes
showed considerable public spirit, we
are only too glad to admit, but he

ANOTHER LETTER
FROM MR. HAMPTON
Editor Star: In your issue of Dec.
7th, you propound two questions,
which you asked me to answer. I take
pleasure in answering them.
First you ask: "Isn't the franchise
the gas company now operates under,
in consequence of the higher price of
everything, more favorable than it
might have reason to hope for if it
had to be renewed year after next?'
j Moot court' cases and hypothetical
cases are ; often discussed in law
schools and debating societies, but
rarely ever in business life, and I am
sorry that I haven't the time to enter
into a debate involving only a hypo hypothetical
thetical hypothetical s case, but my time is mostly
taken up in matters of importance,
but I woulduggest that you send the
question with a copy of the franchise
td the law, department of the Univer University
sity University of Florida at Gainesville, with a
request that they made a special order
for it, for as I understand they are
hard up for subjects up there any
way, understand there Is no debat debating
ing debating society here that could take it up.
I am sure the discussion will be inter interesting,
esting, interesting, and both of us would profit by
it, so we will go up to Gainesville
when they pull it off.
Second-, you ask: "And if it had
some ground to work on to carry its
franchise on to 1929,. wouldn't it be
considerable help to it to have in pow power
er power a council disposed to be just to it?"
This question is a little bit, confus confused
ed confused it Seems to me, and it may be that
I do not entirely understand it, but il
I understand it clearly, you ask,
would the gas company not fare bet better
ter better to have a council that will deal
justly' with it, than one that would
deal unjustly. It seems to me tha
this needs no reply. Certainly justice
is better than injustice, even 1 though
administered by a city council. 77;;
(It is evident that Mr. Hampton is
more than a little bit confused, for he
has not quoted our question correctly,
having left out an important part, and
so his argument is based on a false
conclusion. Editor).
Do I understand from your question
that it is the purpose of the candi candidates

spirited citizen, you ought to name
them, because they certainly are un unfit

oaths, and this they must do if they
would deal unjustly with the gas com company.
pany. company. Therefore, it seems to me that
if, you are advised of anything along
this line you ought to make it known
to the people, because I do not believe
any good citizen would vote for a
man who desires to go into office with
the avowed purpose of injuring some
one. Yours very truly,
H. M. Hampton.
.
If Mr. Hampton will make arrange arrangements

and will take us to Gainesville at the
time in his handsome car, we will take

QUESTIONS FOR AMERICANS.
Here are a few of a long list of per pertinent
tinent pertinent questions propounded by Sena Senator
tor Senator Kenyon of Iowa during the debate
In the United States senate on the prp
nibltion amendment:
"Why do we prohibit the boys In the
army and navy from having booze and
permit those who remain at home to
have It? i 4 :.' :
'If liquor Is a bad thing for the boys
la the trenches, why is it a good thing
for those at home? : ;
- "When they are willing to die for ua,
should we not be willing to go dry for
them? ...
"When the food controller asks ev everyone
eryone everyone in the country to conserve the
food supply, why nrast the food supply
going Into beer be excepted? ..
"If more foodstuff goes Into beer
than Into whisky, why do we prevent
foodstuff going Into whisky and permit
It going Into beer? '. : i
i "Sixty per cent of the nation, .terri .territorially,

"If the beer drinkers are going to
rebel unless they get thelf beer, .will
the temperance people rebel unless they
get prohibition?
"Why do not the temperance people
claim that they will rebel also?. The
temperance people will be for the na nation
tion nation no matter If beer and whisky be
forced on them. Their patriotism does
not depend on having their own way.
"If some one were Jto take as much
foodstuff as goes into booze and dump
it into the sea, what would the people
of the nation say?
y "If someone should advance the ar argument
gument argument that this was necessary In or;
der to appease certain people who be believed

WACAHOOTA
The largest private dwelling house in
England we know. : It Is Wentworth Wentworth-Woodhouse,
Woodhouse, Wentworth-Woodhouse, the seat of Earl Fitzwil Fitzwil-Iiam,
Iiam, Fitzwil-Iiam, in Yorkshire. The oldest inhab inhabited
ited inhabited house is said to be the so-called
"Jew's house," in Lincoln, of the Nor Norman
man Norman period, about eight hundred years
old. But which and where is the- most
curious habitation in these islands?
asks a writer in London Answers.
u Many tourists who know Conway
will no doubt at once declare for the
miniature house to be found in that
town on. the quay, and actually built
beneath the srim. ancient walls of Ed
ward I's massive castle. It thus forms j
an extraordinary contrast with that i
great fortress, for it is "the smallest
house in Great Britain," as the notice- :
board on its very miniature frontage
declares.
The people of Conway seem to be
rather more proud of .the, fame this lit little
tle little slip of a house brings the town than
of the greater fame brought by the big bigger
ger bigger building, and picture-postcard ven
ders do a large trade in cards of it.
Between Gravesend and the village
of Chalk, and situated in a curious po position,
sition, position, with the Thames on one side
and the Thames and Medway canal on
the other, is an old cottage that is half
a Doat. it nas stooa mere certauuy
since the time of Charles Dickens, who
lived in the neighborhood and may
well have had it in mind when he in invented
vented invented Peggotty's boathouse on Yar Yarmouth
mouth Yarmouth sands ; in "David Copperfield."
This, is almost such another, and is
formed from one of the boats of the old
wooden man-o'-war Wellington, ; sold
out of the servce in 1822. The boat,
upside down, forms both roof and up upper
per upper floor of the cottage.
A whimsical freak house of consider
able size and great Interest is that
known as the "Tripod house," standing
In the village of Goodrich, on the River
Wye. It was built in 1636 by Rev.
Thomas Swift, vicar of Goodrich and
grandfather of the famous Dean Swift.
His idea was to thus typify the trinity,
and to do so he designed and built the
house on this curious plan a central
hall, with three wings branching from
It at equal distances.
The unfortunate vicar and builder of
this quaint house was a devoted royal royalist,
ist, royalist, and as such his odd dwelling was
pillaged no fewer than twenty times
by the soldiers of the parliament, who
also stole all his cattle and farm stock.
He did not live to see the restoration
of Charles H, dying, as he did, in 1656.
Our next example an eccentric
dwelling house is to be found In a very
different part of the country away in
Lincolnshire, near Horncastle. From
its fancied resemblance to a teapot it
Is locally known as "Teapot Hali." It
was built, according to, tradition, by a
retired captain of one of the old "tea
clippers," as the fast sailing ships In
the China trade used to be called.
A very fine and particularly striking
residence is that known a3 'The
Grange," Leominster, V Herefordshire,
and it. has an astonishing history, hav having

by the famous Herefordshire architect,
John Abel, wo .worked, chiefly In tim timber,

an open ground floor used as a butter

of the seventeenth century was In 1853
found by the ; town council of Leo Leominster

sold at auction for 95.

Hay in Church.
A curious custom has been ob observed
served observed from time Immemorial at Old Old-West
West Old-West on, Huntingdonshire, In England.
The church there Is dedicated to St.
Swithin, and on the Sunday most near nearly
ly nearly approaching St. Swithin's day the
edifice is strewn with new-mown hay.
The tradition is that an old lady
bequeathed a field for charitable pur purposes,,
poses,, purposes,, on condition that the tenant
provide the hay, to lessen the annoy annoyance
ance annoyance caused by the squeaking of the
new shoes worn by the villagers on
Feast Sunday. There are other ex explanations
planations explanations one that It Is an offering
of the first fruits of the hay harvest,
and another that it Is a survival of
the customs of strewing the church
(when the floor was only beaten
earth) with rushes.

The education of the will is really

is by doing that we learn io do, by

every right act which, we cause" to
spring out of pure principles, whether

will have a greater weight in the for formation

$REAT PROFIT ON STEAMERS
Cne Vessel Sold for $2,003,000 More
Than It Cost After Being in Serv Service
ice Service for Five, Months. V
Some Idea of the tremendous ad advance
vance advance in the price ofvessel property
and the fabuloui prices now being paid
or vessels that can be bought is
hown In theale of the Boston steam steamer
er steamer Tidewater, which has changed owo'
rshlp .after running in the coal-carrying
trade to this port for fess than five
months, says the Boston Globe. The
fclg collier cost to build about $570,000,
atnd was sold for more than $2,600,000,
a profit of more than $2,000,000.
The Tidewater was built at the New
"York Shipbuilding company's yard,'
Camden, N. J., and was completed
arly ihe present year. The vessel is;
constructed of steel. Is 368.6 feet long,
feet beam and S0.5 feet depth of
tiold. Hei net tonnage is 3354 and
cross tonnage 5,260. She was owned
toy Castner, Curran & Bullitt, and was
sold to the American-Italian Steamship
company of New York.
Mexico an Indian Country?
It is of importance to Inquire Into
the attitude taken by the southern
Indians of Mexico toward the official
Spanish civilization, says the New Re Republic
public Republic If It Is difficult for an out outsider
sider outsider only slightly acquainted with the
southern Indians to understand the
reasons for their marked hatred of
the Spaniards it seems self self-evident
evident self-evident of anyone who has spent any
time with them. To the southern In Indians,
dians, Indians, the Spaniard and his successor,
the Spanish-speaking Mexican, is the
cruel alien conqueror. They feel that
they are Indians and that Mexico is
an Indian country. For instance, one
of the common objections to Madero
encountered in Oaxaca was that h$
was not an Indian and that the presi president
dent president of Mexico should be an" Indian.
This attltrde is significant, and it Is
not strange to find even a northern
Indlan"ike H ierta proudly exclaim exclaiming:
ing: exclaiming: "Yo so Indlano." Carranza's lack
of popularity In the south Is not so
much due to the fact that southern
Mexico is the home of Diaz as to tha

SUICIDE OF A YOUNG SOLDIER
.r (Gainesville Sun) I
Oneiof the saddest cases coming to
light recently in connection with thb
war and enlistment of young Ameri Americans
cans Americans to fight against the German war
lordp is that of Berry Cason of Cross
City, t son of Will Cason and grandsoR
of tHarley J. Cason, who was a mem member
ber member of Company L, 124th regimenu,
stationed at Camp Wheeler, whose
death occurred at his own hands at
Cross City yesterday morning having
blown his brains out with a pistol.'
Young Cason was allowed a three three-day
day three-day furlough home from the Macon
camp ; while convalescent from
measles, which he contracted at the
camp, and from which, indirectly, so
many deafhs have occurred at Camp
Wheeler. His .furlough f ending, he
started back to the cantonment, but
on reaching Newberry, where he had
to .change trains, his condition became
worse and becoming unconscious, he
was "set back home by friends at that
place. '-'- :f:'r"V ,-r
Medical aid was' summoned as soon
as the sick boy reached home, and
physicians found him suffering from
acute bronchopneumonia, contracted
asan aftermath -of measles, Di. Will Will-liams,
liams, Will-liams, Uie attending physician, dis discharged
charged discharged him as cured after several
weeks' s severe illness,' and it is pre presumed
sumed presumed young Cason notified some of
his comrades at the Macon camp of
his : convalescence from this latter se serious
rious serious illness, and of his intention qf
returning to hi duties.
" -But day before yesterday as he and
his family were making preparations
for his trip in return, he received an
anonymeus letter, presumably from
one of hiSj fellow-soldiers, stating that
he had best not -return to camp, as he
was posted as a deserter, and conse consequently
quently consequently had been blacklisted by mem members
bers members of his company. ;
Young Cason, naturally, turned this
letter over to his father, and the lat latter
ter latter straightway became busy getting
affidavits from the attending physician
and others to the effect that Berry had
been sick aind unable to return, and de detailing
tailing detailing the case as it had happened.
But evidently his sickness had weak-J
ened Berry Cason's mind,v for he be began
gan began to brood in secret over his sup supposed
posed supposed blacklisting, nd : yesterday
morning secured a pistol unknown to
any of his family, and slipping back of
his residence blew out his brains, leav leaving
ing leaving not a, word of explanation for the
deed,, :
It has been stated by his father
and members of his family that imme immediately
diately immediately after becoming sick at New Newberry
berry Newberry and his return home Dr. Wil Williams
liams Williams wrote to the captain of the com company,
pany, company, explaining, why Berry overstay overstayed
ed overstayed his furlough, and alth'ough no
acknowledgement of this explanation
was received, so far as we know, it
was understood that his absence had,
thru the letter, been explained suffici sufficiently
ently sufficiently to army officials. and no more
was thought of the matter until the
anonymous communication was receiv received,
ed, received, which it seems caused the boy, in
his weakened condition," to lose his
wonted grasp upon things mentally,
with the result that he took his own
life.

III CLUB M HOME
Edited by Caroline
'Editor Star: Our fair is over, and
I am "winner again" as 1 have been
for the past three years of all first
premiums .which was offered by the
Fair Association, coming under the
head of Domestic Science. ?
Now, it may interest some canning
club girl to know how I have been able
to do this. ...
Any little girl can do the same as I
have done. For I am only a little girl,
and I suppose I'm doomed to never be
anything, but just a "little girl."
For I overheard the other day a cer certain
tain certain lady telling my mother "to never
under any circumstances allow me to
grow up." ...
But never mind, I like it Being u
little girl.
- But I'm getting away from what I
started out to say the reason I have
been able to accomplish what I have
First: I have natural taste and love
for the work, in' fact I love all the
sciences so far as l have studied them.
I am getting a foundation in my own
home, anjcklater on in college, I mean
to make a special study of Home Eco Eco-nomice
nomice Eco-nomice and Domestic Science. I have
loved it .ever since I was a tiny tot,
not tall enough to reach the top of the
stove, I used to beg mother for small
pieces of dough, that I might have the
joy of cooking biscuits myself.
Second: I say second, not because
my mother comes second, for "my
mother is second to none. But this,
if a girl had a dozen mothers to teach
her,' if she did not love the work and
did not try to apply herself very lit little
tle little would she accomplish.
I have a mother who likes to teach
her erirls how to do thin es and. who
never as yet refused material for me
to work with, and one who never tires
of telling me how things are done.
r j t
many a time wnen i was oniy a uuie
tot I would ask her if I might make
cookies, or a cake like some she had
made, she would never refuse me, per
haps she might be sewing at the time.
She would tell me what the recipe
called for, and maybe my little feet
would patter back? and fourth from
kitchen to sewing room a half dozen
times before. I would get the recipe
stirred up, for fear I would leave
something out. 7
When later on I asked that she write
down with pencil some recipes for me,
(for no cook book contained as fine
recipes as those contained in, mother's
head.) 'V? -:'v '';. :
I would tack these recipes up and
sometimes the pantry door would be
covered with little slips of paper, but
I didn't mind, I was learning to cook.
Our Demonstration Agent told you
I worked with my mother, and well
right she say this, else I would not
have known what I do about cooking:,
pickling; preserving, jelly making, etc.
I have worked with my mother.. I
have not merely stood and looked on
while my mother did the work. v ;
' I have worked at other times
while my mother sat in a chair and
gave instructions. s
I have also worked when she .was
not any where near, and now my
mother says, she is being well, well
repaid for her, trouble in teaching me.
In that she can sit with, and enjoy her
company, while I prepare dthner for
same, and says she is not the least
bit nervous when escorting friends to
one of my dinners for she knows ev everything's
erything's everything's O. K. r f
Now please don't think I am brag bragging,
ging, bragging, when I say this, I do not mean
it that way. But I do want you girls
to know that I can "CAN" and pre preserve
serve preserve and jake pickles and cook a
dinner (fit for a king, so Papa says)
without my mother's help.1 help.1-.
. help.1-. I work with my mother, and also
work without myjmother. But there
is lots ?and lots more for me to learn.
There is. a great deal more that my
mother can teach me. I have just be begun
gun begun to learn. I am at the foot of the
ladder, but I am1 going to climb to the
in Domestic Science, and am saving
all my money to spend on my educa education,
tion, education, with this end in view.

: : liil:Fami
Docs All Farm Wcrk
- The new attachment which converts any Ford into a strong, dur durable
able durable tractor, capable of doing the work of four good horses on any
farm, is the most wonderful application of low cost power ever de developed
veloped developed for farm work. The well known .efficiency and durability
of the Ford car combined with its 22-horsepower especially adapts
it for Jthe purpose.
It can be easily attached or detached in a very short time without
the least injury to the car,
Ho holes to drill--no vital; parts to be removed.
Reasons why Every Farmer Slionld Haxre a
