A'
ANNUAL FAIR
At Jacksonville One of the Bigegst
and Best Ever Held in
-""W-v the State
Mr. Z. C. Chambliss returned last
night from Jacksonville, where he
spent several days at the Florida
State Fair. Mr. Chambliss went for
the purpose of exhibiting his prize
beef calf as well as to see the general
exhibits and what the balance of the
state was doing.
In a brief interview with Mr.
Chambliss this morning, the Star re reporter
porter reporter gleaned the following informa information,
tion, information, and coming as it does from on6
of the best posted-men in the state on
cattle, hogs and general agricultural
matters, it is" of much value to our
readers.
The fair really opened Wednesday,
as it was not ready to open Tuesday,
though that was the date for the
opening. The crowd was very large
and when the rain would drive every
one inside, the big buildings could
scarcely house them.
The live stock exhibit is great ana
Mr. Chambliss said there were more
hogs there than he has ever seen ex exhibited
hibited exhibited before at one time in the
state. -'Most of them are from Flor Florida,
ida, Florida, but some are from Georgia. There
were so many hogs that more pens
had to be built after the exhibits came
in.
Mr. Chambliss was particularly
struck with the. exhibit of Armour &
Cd, two parallel pens, one 'containing
three Berkshires, the kind of hogs
the company wants to see shipped to
it3 packing houses, and the other pen
containing three scrub hogs, the kind
they often get but do not want. The
three fine specimens, Mr. Chambliss
was very proud to see, came, from
Ocala and Marion county, being taken
from a carload of meat hogs shipped
the company from her by Mr. Rube
Redding.
The cattle represented four breeds:
Jersey, Ayrshire, Guernsey and Hol Hol-stein,
stein, Hol-stein, for the dairy line and three for
the beef breeds, namely, Shorthorn,
Hereford and Polled-Angus, and there
was a most creditable display of all
and the cattle, as well as. the hogs,
were a revelation to the many north northern
ern northern visitors who are seeing the fair.
Mr. Chambliss took to the fair at
his own expense the prize beef calf
raised and owned by Z, C. Chambliss
& Co., on their farm near Ocala. The
calf is eighteen months old, weighs
132)6 pounds and is an Angus-Shorthorn
graded up from a native Florida
cow. This calf will be sold to the
packers next week, when the fair
closes, and will bring about as much
money as any one ever sold in the
state for beef.
The government building is very
large and contains a wonderfully in interesting
teresting interesting exhibit of the government's
warships, battle planes, torpedoes,
munitions of all kinds, tanks and eve
rything used by our government toj
prosecute the war on land and sea and
in the air with competent and cour courteous
teous courteous people to explain the exhibit io
visitors.
The government exhibit along agri agricultural
cultural agricultural lines, tick eradication, fores forestry,
try, forestry, etc., is very comprehensive and
is doing much good.
Best of all, perhaps, is the magnfi magnfi-cent
cent magnfi-cent exhibit of the thirty counties
participating in the fair, and it looked
like the grand prize lay between Mar Marion,
ion, Marion, Escambia and DeSoto. Mr.
Chambliss thought Marion's was by
far the best but not as' well displayed
as some of the others. In the differ different
ent different county exhibits is everything from
wheat to cocoanut, from Irish pota potatoes
toes potatoes to pawpaws,as the counties com competing
peting competing extend from the red clay hills
of West Florida to the tropic isles of
the Florida keys, and run the entire
scale of vegetable, fruit and plant
life, almost.
Very noticeable, Mr. Chambliss
said, was the apathy of the business
men towards their own fair. They
not only do not properly appreciate
its magnitude or its value to the state,
but they are not attending it them themselves
selves themselves f or lending it their aid and
hearty support. The very men who
begged him to exhibit his "calf"
there, had to be begged themselves
to come out and see it.
All in all, he says, it is a great ex exhibition
hibition exhibition of the state's resources. Our

Mr. Walter Ray informs us that his

in the fighting on the western front
several weeks ago, recovered and
went back after more gas or the man
who gassed him, or one who would do
as well. His last letter was dated
Nov. 10, the day before the armistice
went into effect, so we can reasonably
count on soon having Carl back with

CLEANING UP
The unsafe room in the northwest
corner of the Ocala House block, re referred
ferred referred to in the Star yesterday, has
been cleaned up. Mrs. Morgan, who
has leased the hotel, had work on it
commenced yesterday afternoon, be-.
fore the paper came out, and will
Jiave some other places around the
house cleaned up, at her own expense.
It is hardly necessary to explain
that neither Mrs. Morgan nor Mr.
Hunter, who had the house before her,
are responsible fdr these rooms, as
they have nothing to do with them.
Running the Ocala House, which is
owned in Gainesville, is like taking a
government contract. Mrs. Morgan,
however, has had success with hotels
she managed in other states, and the
people of Ocala hope she will lo well
here, as the success of the Ocala
House would be a good thing for the
entire city.
Speaking of cluttered-up store
rooms, there are several around town.
They are both ugly and unsafe, and
the police committee should instruct
the marshal to warn the owners to
have them put in better condition, and
if they won't, have it done and collect
the bill from them.

charge at the farm the inmates are

My dear Mr. von Engelken:
My attention has been called to the

investigations having been made,
there can be no reasonable doubt of

have an opportunity to tell you that
this is my own unhesitating opinion
and that I hope- the clouds that have
gathered about you will presently
clear happily away.
Very sincerely yours,

We fondly and sincerely and pray prayerfully

appoint Mr. Burleson as director of

stands for utter autocracy in any line

President Wilson made one of his

be put to death. The crime of which

one of the worst ever committed in

LIGHT DEFENDS STATE
MARKETING BUREAU
Editor Star: I have read your
comments on the Florida State Mar Marketing
keting Marketing Bureau, and believing that you
are honestly mistaken in your views I
want to call your attention to the fol
lowing facts.
The bill creating the Florida State
Marketing Bureau was submitted to
the president of the Natidnal Farm Farmers'
ers' Farmers' Union, a man who had been
chairman of the national legislative
committee of that organization for a
decade, and he said it was good. The
president of the Florida State Farm Farmers'

bills. Seventy-seven members of the
senate and house out of 93 members
voting, said it was good. The com commissioner

said it was good.
The state of New York, the Empire
state of America, has a state mar

state, by this action, says the mar marketing

The legislature of California, a
state with a variety of products sim similar

for a state marketing bureau, thereby
saying it was good.
The state of South Carolina estab
lished a state marketing bureau and
said it was good.
Georgia, our sister state, in July,
1917, appropriated ..$15,000 and in
June, 1918, increased it to $35,000
per annum for the maintenance of a
state marketing bureau. The practi practical

experience seem to think it is a good

A dozen or more other states have

The United States government
makes large annual appropriations
more than two million dollars at the
last session, for the maintainance of
the Federal Market Bureau. It has
the approval of the president, of Con Congress,
gress, Congress, of the secretary of agriculture
and of the agricultural committees of
both houses. They think it is good.
The secretary of agriculture says he
now considers it the most important
of the more than a score of bureaus
in his department.
Is it possible that in the multitude
of minds above mentioned that there
is no wisdom and that they are all
wrong and that you are right?
Did you know that if the appropria appropriation

Observations of American
Soldiers on Gentle Art of
Bombing Hospitals by Huns
The Hun has bombed hospitals, off
and on, all during the war. Hitherto
he has covered it up by complaining
that the houses of mercy were placed
too close to the front, near military
centers which are perfectly fair game,
and that any strafing of the helpless
was quite Incidental and, therefore, in
a sense, regrettable. But bis recent
attack in force with more than 20 air
planes upon a plainly marked group of
hospital buildings far behind the Brit
ish lines the raid having obviously
that objective far surpasses all his
previous performances of frightful
The Hun no longer apologizes. He
no longer pleads "military necessity'
as excuse for his slaughter of the
helpless. He glories in his guilt.
Fatuous people who still believe. In
the face of such proof as this, that a
negotiated peace with "liberal" Ger

Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup Support

the Benefit of the
Allies.
When figures began to show def definitely

States were actually reducing their
consumption of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Adminis Administration
tration Administration was told that it was com comparatively

would be far more difficult to accom accomplish
plish accomplish an actual decrease in the use of
luxuries. The doubters took sugar as
an example, and declared that it would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption of sugar down to a point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean ton tonnage
nage tonnage will be lightened, European na nations
tions nations will be able to go farther afield
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now in prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption if the
present short rations in Europe are
not materially increased. If the Eu European
ropean European ration is to be materially in increased
creased increased over the present low amount
It can be only through the American
people's making it possible by con continued

extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra Administration

the .ration of two pounds per person

throughout the country. This, conser conservation

the new crops of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
. The records of the Food Adminis Administration
tration Administration show that in July, August, Sep September
tember September and October 995,000 tons were
distributed. Normal consumption for
that period is 1,600,000 tons. This
shows a definite, concrete saving of
over 500,000 tons. These figures ap apply

uses 400,000 tons of sugar per month.
Last July 260,000 tons entered Into
distribution. In August only 225,000
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed 279,000 tons, and
then fell to 230,000 tons In October.
There could be no more definite

of the loaf to the wayfarer. It seemed
the most natural thing in the world to

The test of peace is to summon for
