THE AUTOMOBILE

The automobile manufacturers are
and have a right to be proud. The
other day we were glancing through
an old New York World almanac
printed a little more than a decade
ago. and it contained not a line about
the automobile. The automobile man
ufacturers of today take up about
twenty pages in advertising the viz
tues of their various makes of these
machines in the World almanac.
They have come to stay, and more
and more they are being simplified
and strengthened.
They run lighter, are easier, and
make greater speed than vehicles
drawn by horses. They are more
sanitary and do not lay down and
die on your hands.
The automobile has now about belt
ed the globe and wherever they are
used good roads become more and
more in evidence.
The Franklin automobile manufac-
turers say that in his recent tour of
inspection Of the island of Cuba that
Governor Magoon performed this duty
in a Franklin touring car and enjoy
ed every moment of his trip.
Compare this statement with what
Macaulay says of the condition of the
roads in Great Britain, when he be-
gan his history of England. Often the
royal carriage was begged up to the
hubs in mud and a delay of day or
two on account of bad roads was not
an unusual incident.
Touring cars are now used in far |
off Tasmania, by the Hottentots and |
among the more wealthy members of

bile will be the principal power of To-

Chairman, at this moment l stand as

The same opportunities, the same
allurements,- have presented them
selves to Mr.. PARROT for twenty years
or more, yet at every turn he has
said: Get thee behind me, Satan,
and has resolutely refused to be
tempted, and not one breath of sUspi
cion attaches to him.
Not only has Mr.. PARROT shown alb
solute clean hands in his handling
of this great wealth, but his position
has not pulled him up. Through it all
he has shown the same modesty and
simplicity with which he started out
in life. He is the same man today to
his old friends and acquaintance that
he was when he possessed no such
opportunities. The man In overalls is
the same to him as the man in full
evening dress. When going up and
down the line he has a warm hand
shake and a pleasant word for every
employe he meets and makes famil-
lar inquiries as to themselves and
the various members of their families,
making their troubles a part of his
own. His universal popularity with
his employees shows in what esteem
he is held.
Mr.. Parrot is an extremely modest
man. In all the marvellous work of
construction that has gone on under
his supervision, he always occupies a
place in the background. In military
parlance, he always in everything
gives full credit to his great COM
mander." Lee, nor Grant, nor Napo-
leon, never had a more loyal and de-
voted lieutenant. 1t is said by those
who know him best that no boastful |
utterance ever escaped Mr.. PARROTS |

His moral life is pure and his home
life is ideal. Mr.. T. V. Porter. who
has been his next door neighbor for
years, says that his life is as nearly
perfect as it is allotted for human be-
ngs to attain.
1t is the concensus of opinion of his
leighbors, associates, employees and
friends that Mr.. J. R. ParrOtt is a
man in all the walks and
citations of life, and the Ocala Ban

USE OF NATIONAL FOREST RE-
SOURCES ON THE INCREASE

The actual use of the varied re-
sources of the governments 16S,OOO'-
900 acres of national forest land is
on the increase, according to the re-
port of the work for the fiscal year
1908. The report says that from an
administrative standpoint the most
striking fact of the year was the re-
markable increase which took place
in the volume Of business transacted.
This growth in business done by
the United States forest service last
year over the previous year is partly
brought out in the following statement
showing percentages of increase: In
the number of timber sales, 236 per
cent; in the amount of timber cut I'M
| der sales, 102 per cent; in the num-
Der of free timber permits, rs per
cent; in the number of grazing per
mits, II per cent; and in the number
of special use permits, 81 per cent.
That the additions to existing ma
tional forests and new creations caus-
ed this increase only to a small ex-
tent is shown by the fact that the
acrea increased is only IL per cent.
In speaking of this feature of the
work of the forest service in his an
nual report, the secretary of agricul-
ture says in part:
"The growth in the volue of bust
ness arising from use of the forests
has created a very serious admins
trative problem. Last year rs per
cent. of the time of the administra- !
tive and protective force was taken |
up by the demands of national forest |
business. The average forest area
to each officer supposedly available
for patrol duty was about 10000
acres; but with more than three
fourths of the time of these officers
occupied with timber sales, grazing
and other business, the force actual
Iy available for patrol was equivalent
to- about one man to each 100000
acres. That under these circumstance
rs the fire losses in a year Of excep-
-ional danger were kept down to a
very small figure in comparison with
he value of the timber exposed and
he damage from forest fires else 7
