Failure to secure them by that date means that the operator must take a test before the license can be issued. George Tapper is the au- thorized representative for Judge Earl Pridigeon in this city. A recent ruling requires that any operator who desires 'to change from operator to chauffeur must take an examination. Another change this year is In the restriction on licenses issued to operators between 14 and 16 years of age. They are allowed to drive only during daylight hours and' must be accompanied by an operator 16 years of age or older at all times'except when operating a motorcycle or motor-scooter.

Our power meter was burned out and the linotype was not back in working order until late Tuesday afternoon in spite of valiant ef- forts by Bob Jackson, Rich Porter and sund'ry assorted assistants. We carry our usual quota of news matter, but what really hurts is that we had to turn down adver- tising-especially a full page from Opp Moore at Dauley's. iil l llll iIIlli ii i iiiillili ll if II lllf ll ll i IIfilllll Off They Come! It just about breaks our heart to remove the names of 29 sun- scribers from our mailing list this week, but of the 52 noti- fied last week that they were considerably behind on their sub- scriptions, but 23 came in to pay up, so off they come. The next group to come off will be on October 4, after regu- lar notices are mailed out. This action Is necessary if we. are to continue getting out eight pages weekly.

Present plans call for the acquisition of two areas (A) for the new Supreme Court Build- ing and (B) for the Industrial Commission Building which will be a self-liquidating project financed from rentals derived largely from Federal sources. The area (C) chosen as the site for the building to be erected with departmental funds for the Road Department has belonged to the State since 1824. The State now owns the area, Si- closed in dotted lines. No plan has been developed for acquiring the balance of the property that eventually will be needed to com- plete the landscape architect's plans for future development of a Cap- itol Center as designated by the broken line. Of some $7,000,000 so far allocated to State building only about half a million has gone into the Capitol Center.

Our Country -t' Right or Wrong REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH If all the money now in circulation in the United States were equally divided, each Am- erican would have $200.30-for A little while, at least. Given their share, some of those, who haven't that much now, would gamble it away before sunrise; some would drink it up pretty quickly; some would invest it for rapid turn- overs. Some would lose their shirts; some would immediately begin achieving lasting prosperity. Eventually, the money would be redis- tributed just about as it is at present, with the foolish and the unfortunate dependent upon the lucky and the wise. Mere possession of money is not enough-there has got to be abil- ity to handle it.-Lakeland Ledger. NO SOAP A book that is touted as the cleanest ever published-being made entirely of soap in leaf form-is a best-seller in Melbourne, but the wary will lay no wagers on its super-duper purity until it has stood the test of Boston. As a matter of fact, we rather look for Bos- ton to ban it. Boston reasoning, as best it can be anticipated, will probably run as follows: Soap suggests bathing. Bathing suggests nudity. Nudity is naughty. The book, there- fore, is suggestive, indecent, obscene, lewd and subversive of morals, and should be pro- hibited, the public welfare requiring it. The moral? Anything can be suggestive, if you reach far enough for the suggestion.-St Louis Post-Dispatch. Fifty years ago farmers didn't vote on how much they should grow. They grew what they pleased and trusted to luck for a market. It's strange, but none of them ever starved to death, and they managed to meet their bills once a year at least. It's easy for some folks to forget the little things-but about that time one of them lets loose with a howl, "I wanna drink of water,': or something. Anyway, that story about Edison's academic dumbness has been a great inspiration for many a schoolboy. Fishing a little now and then, tends to im- prove the best of men. Keep smiling-and buy U S Savings Bonds. We hope, to get 'em for a Christ- inas present-if we're lucky. J. A. Christmas has again taken over management of Walter Gard- ner's bar and grill out on the Pan- ama City highway. Everybody likes "Chris" and business at the estab- lishment ought to be good.

Dear Editor Bill-I want you to know how much I enjoy The Star each week. It's a very real link with home,. Surely hope you won't find it necessary to remove my name from the mailing list. I can hardly wait each week to get the wrapper off The Star, and believe me, I read BVE IRYT'HING (even the ads!) Since I've been away, many new people have moved to St. Joe, for I see unfamiliar names in each ed- ition. But when I do see news of friends it's wonderful! Fred, Johnny and I are fine. Johnny is growing fast, andl talks "a blue streak" each waking min- ute. We plan to go home next sum- mer for a couple of weeks.

George MdLa- hon asked us why we only printed four pages in The Star last week, and when we told him there had been eight pages, he turned to his wife and said: '.'So that's where the other 'four pages went!" And Jake White, up at Wewahitchka, says the people up there are also having a terrible time-that they have to take to the piney woods. We were lucky and man- aged to get hold' of a 100-roll car- ton.
