Farmer Comes Into
His Own at Last and
Buys Automobiles
Last Year He Bought $4,000 Ma
chimes, an Increase of 50 Per
Cent Over Year Before.

"That the farmer should eventually have
come to his own in this country as dis
closed by the latest reports Of the United
States bureau of statistics, is a matter of
national rejoicing, for to him we look
principally for our food and for the raw
material with which our wearing material
Is made" says r. r. Odds president of the
REQ Motor Car company.
"a careful compilation OF all available
returns at this time shows that during the
year 1910 approximately 5000 automobiles
were purchased By American farmers,
which il an increase over 1909 of So per
cent and more than 400 per cent over the
motor cars which farmers purchased dur
ing 1905
These facts indicate that the American
farmer is raising maximum crops which he
can readily market at the highest prices
known in several decades, if, indeed. not
in our entire history. In fact. his in
come for 1910 will aggregate fully 100000
co., which is the largest amount Of farm
products raised in one year by any country
in the world.

thai pertain to the management, progress
and development Of his farm. il is but
began to study the relative merits and
advantages OF the horse and the automo.
bile. and now that his verdict is over
whelmingly in favor Of mechanical power
as against animal power, it would seem
that the motor car industry is certain to
gain a new impetus therefrOm as II could
gain In no other way.
Fifteen years ago the gross incomes
from the Kansas farms were worth Sl1s,-
100000. ten years ago they amounted to
Sls00OOOOO, and in 1910 TO 1923 100000 While
these figures indicate that Kansas and
its sister states are prosperous, the best
evidence OF wealth of the farmer Is found
in his bank deposits, which today chal-
lenge the admiration Of every financer in
the country. These conditions certainly
testify to the American farmers lntelli-
gence. industry, thrift progress and busl-
ness acumen.
II recall how a score or more OF wealthy
wheat farmers living near the village OF
Hardtncr. Kan. not 80 long ago raised the
money with which to grade and equip p
ten-mile road to connect with a point
reached by two big railroad systems. This
they did after one or two appeals to the
railroads had failed II cost them $1,000

This was the first opportunity given eastern

An examination OF the new models does
not show any radical changes, from a me-
chanical standpoint The Model is prae-
tically standard. There has not been any
particular change during the last four
years in the car itself. Various of its Sea-
lures have been refined. The different

able and servieeable and little convenience
have been added greatly enhancing the

"STICkER -"

The Pea body brothers have done
something that has not been done in
Ocala before. In running their picture
show this far into the winter and it
looks like they are going TO stick ii
out right on through the winter and
be here when the summer starts. In
fact this is what they said about ii
when seen by a Star representative.
NO, we have not had as good crowds
in the armOry a we had in the air
dome, but did not expect that they
would be just good, as we knew
there would be other attractions here.
But we want to show TO the people of
Ocala that we have come to stay and
we think the best way TO do this is to
just run right on. good or poor crowds.
Then when the summer comes and
there are no other attractions they
will find US right here with them"
They also gave US some good news in
regard to their show in the summer.
This is what they said:
We have a good offer from one or
two of Ocala's leading citizens to put
up first class building for US. This is
what we have been waiting on before
we get a new machine and all of the
new fixtures that go with first class,
When we do get our new building
we can promise to the people of Ocala
| one of the best if not the very best
moving picture show in the state, as
| that is our business and we only want
| the best, as you have seen by our pic
lures in the past"
| They spoke further about their APP
probation of the treatment they have
| had and the way the people have pat
roniZed their show. The people know
that when the Peabodys approve of a
show or picture it is all right. No one
need question it further. The Star
wishes the boys the greatest success
as we are sure their many other
| friends do also.
