FAVOR THE TOBACCO FUND
Spring Campaign Has Begun and
Now is the Time to Send the
Boys Good Smokes
In the language of someone "Don't
be a titewad."
Now that the spring campaign in
the big war will begin in a short time
and many thousands more of our good
American soldiers will be on the
fighting front we must" not forget
that our boys will need the "smokes"
they have been used to.
The Star's tobacco fund has not
been erowine like it should for the
past two weeks. In fact, the subscrip
tions have averaged less than a dollar
a day of late, which is not in keeping
with the reputation our people have
always enjoyed for generosity.
Our own boys will likely be among
the soldiers at the front within
very few weeks and will be the recip
ients of tobacco kits sent "over there
by people all over the country through
the Red Cross. These kits will be ap
preciated, and so have those which
have alreadv been sent over to the
early arrivals.
Don't get the idea that someone is
making money out of this tobacco
proposition, as every kit that goes to
the boys costs considerably more than
is subscribed by the individual.
Those who have contributed to the
Star's tobacco fund since the last
published report are:

MARCHING THRU FLANDERS

having been near the line of the said
march, we can't help wincing at the
words. However, the following, writ

Chicago boy, will do for all Americans
to sing:
Bring the good old bugle boys,
Well sincr another sone:
Sing it with the spirit
That will start the world along;
Sing.it as we used to sing it,
Fifty million strong,
While we are marching through Flan Flanders.
ders. Flanders. Chorus
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We're over here to win;
Hurrah! Hurrah!.
Above the battle's din
May be heard the chorus
From Paris to Berlin,
While, we are marching through
''Flanders.
How the peasants shouted
When they heard that joyful sound
Of Uncle. Sam's soldiers,
Marching all around;
How the German autocrat
Well trample, on the ground
While we are marching, in, Flanders.
Yes and there are allied men-
Who weep with joyful tears
When they see those honored flags
They know will wave for years,
Hardly can they be restrained
From breaking forth in cheers
While we are marching in: Flanders.
"Pershing's dashing Yankee boys
Will never reach our coast,"
So the saucy Germans said,
And 'twas a handsome boast;
Had they not forgot, alas,
To reckon with the host
While we are marching on Flanders. ;
So well make a thoroughfare
For old democracy,
Five hundred ,miles in latitude,
-Eight hundred from the lee;
Tyrants flee1 before us,
? For resistance cannot he,
While we are marching in Flanders.

THE WEST COAST FIELD MEET
(Ocaleean Ensign)
jThe West Coast field meet was held
in Dade City Friday and Saturday,
March 1 and 2. Among the schools
represented were Ocala, Dunnellon,
Inverness, Brooksville, Webster, Lees Leesburg,
burg, Leesburg, Eustis, Tavares, Dade City,
Clearwater, Tarpon Springs and St.
Petersburg. It was the largest of the
West Coast meets, as there were over
a hundred contestants. Colors and
pennants of all kinds were seen
throughout the meet.
The cup was one given by the
Knight & Wall Company of Tampa.
It is a very handsome trophy, being
about twenty inches in height, and
made of sterling silver, and having
an ebony base.
The meet was very exciting, for
Inverness, Brooksville and St. Peters Petersburg
burg Petersburg were close rivals.:- Hicks of In Inverness,
verness, Inverness, Holpe of Brooksville, and
Miller of Eustis, were in the lime limelight.
light. limelight. Hicks of Inverness, took the first
honors for the 100-yard dash, the
broad jump, the pole vault, the shot
put and the 220-yard dash. Miller of
Eustis, took first place in the high
jump, and second place in the pole
vault. Holpe of Brooksville, won in
the hurdling, and took first honors in
the 440-yard run and the half-mile
run. So it is easily seen that Hicks
and Holpe were close rivals in the
meet, and the former had a great deal
to do with Inverness taking the cup
home.

WHERE WILD fOWL BREED
Yukon River and the Lakes of That
Hyperborean Region Favored
Spot of Many Birds.
Until the acquisition of Alaska by
the United States It was a wonder
where certain wild fowl went when
they migrated from temperate climes
on the approach of summer as well as
snowbirds and other small species of
the feathered tribe. It was after afterward
ward afterward found, observes a writer In the
Kansas City Journal, that their hab habitat
itat habitat in summer was the waters of
Alaska the Yukon river and the lakes
of that hyperborean region.
People wonder where the wild fowl
come from. They see the sandhill
crane, the wild goose heron and other
fowl every spring and fall pursue
their unwearied way, but like the wind,
they do not know whence they come
or whither they go.
Up on Golovine bay, on the north
side of Norton sound, Is the breeding
place of these fowls. All the birds
in creation, seemingly, go to that coun country
try country to breed. Geese, ducks, swans
and thousands upon thousands of sand sandhill
hill sandhill cranes are swarming there all the
time. They lay their eggs in the blue blue-stem
stem blue-stem grass In the lowlands.
Myriads of robins and swallows are
there, as well as millions of magnifi magnificent
cent magnificent grouse, wearing red combs and
feather moccasins. This grouse turns
as white as snow In winter.
You can kill dozens of teal ducks
or grouse as fat as butter balls in a
few moments. The wild fowl and
bears live on salmon berries and
huckleberries, with which the hills are
literally covered.

Fat Beauties.
Throuehout the empire of Morocco

the elder members of the adult popu

of fattening young ladies for the mat

ones, and are more solicitous as to the
number of pounds which their brides
weigh than about the stock of accom

neglect. At the first sign of backache,
headache, dizziness or urinary disor disorders,
ders, disorders, you should give the weakened
kidneys prompt attention. Eat little
meat, take things easier and use a re reliable
liable reliable kidney tonic. There's no other
kidney medicine so well recommended
as Doan's Kidney Pills. Ocala people
rely on them. Here's one of the many
statements from Ocala people.
C. C. French, carpenter, 103 W.
Sanchez street, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills did me more good than
anything else I ever used. I had been
having attacks of backache and trou
ble with my kidneys for some time.
It made me feel miserable and run
down in health. As soon as I used
Doan's Kidney Pills, I got relief. I
have relied on this medicine evijr
since."
Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
