| been contributed about equally by the
county board and by our people. Some
of the latter have not yet filled up the

not yet even pledged a part. Come.

COURTESY TO VISITORS

The Star hopes there will be a big
crowd at the fair grounds tomorrow
afternoon to encourage the Ocala boys
to do honor to the visitors.
1t is not out of place here to speak
a few words in regard to courtesy to-
ward the visiting team. 1t will be a
graceful act on the part of the people
of Ocala to heartily give them all the
applause they are entitled to, and, if
they lose. a little over. The reporter
has noticed at some past games a dis
position on the part of a few, very
few. Ocalans to deride visiting play
ers, and the Star would like to see this
minority become small enough to
vanish entirely. Visiting teams are al
ways Ocala's guests, the duty of hos
pitality is a sacred one, and the city
owes ii to a visiting football or base
ball team in the same measure that an
individual owes it to the guest in his
home. The visiting teams have so far
been made up of gentlemen. but even
II they were not 1t is less culpable in
them than in us to forget courtesy.

MARION LANDS AT DISCOUNT
WITH BIG INSURANCE MEN

How 1 managed to escape apoplexy
in an effort to borrow from big insur-
ance companies of the country the sum
of $4,000 upon five thousand acres of
improved Florida farm lands"
This is the subject, says the Jack
sonviIle Metropolis, of an historic ro-
nance shortly to be issued by H. c.
Bailey. head of the Anthony Farm
Company, which owns and is cultivat-
ing and developing five thousand fertile
acres in Marion county.
Mr.. Bailey, after covering a wide ex-
panse of territory. secured the amount
needed, and is now resting" prepare
tory to beginning his literary work
He recently had a decidedly strenuous
experience in trying to induce the in
Surance companies to return a small
portion OF the two or three million dol
lars which they take from the state
annually.
Mr.. Bailey, who is at the Seminole
related his experience to Metropolis
man as follows:
My company owns five thousand
acres OF the most valuable land in the
state, and 1 recently started on a tour
in the hope Of borrowing $500 for the
purpose of making further improve
ments upon the farm. I was accompa-
MED on a portion of the trip by a
prominent lawyer of Jacksonville who
also tried to induce certain companies
to make the loan desired. He failed
however. and l did. too, until finally
struck a Southern company at Louis
willie, which readily gave me the mon
ey
During my travels through the
financial wilderness, 1 asked officers OF
not less than fifteen of the big insur-
ance companied for the loan and l Wis
TIED the following cities: Philadelphia
New York, Newark. Hartford, Boston
Cincinnati, Chicago. Indianapolis, St
Louis and Louisville. My travelling ex-
penses amounted to almost as much as
the loan l desired, but at each place
the nothing doing sign was hanging
out.
Florida is not in our approved ter.
ritory.' was the reply that came to me
from the pompous heads of the insur-
ance companies. and when 1 got tired
of pleading l began 'cussing' This
had no effect. however. Although w.
crackers give these companies be.
tween two and three millions each
year, nothing Is coming back in tn.
way of loans on farm lands. Million:
pour into the states of the Middle Yves
and other sections. however"
