Speaking of the boys corn club and
other demonstrations of attention to
matters agricultural, it may be said
that the garden belonging to and cul-
tivated by the pupils of the Michigan
avenue grammar school is model of
beauty and production. The vegeta-
bles gathered from it are among the
finest and largest ever seen in Flor
ida In this garden are being laid
the foundations for many comfortable
and pleasant homes of the future.
Nothing adds more to the enjoyment
of life along it's substantial side than
a good kitchen garden. The taste for
it now being planted will endure

RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY
FROM THE WoMAN'S CLUB

h Whereas, in the dispensation of the
will of an alI-wise Father in taking
from us Mrs. ]. w. Akin, who was one
of our loved members, the first pre-
cious link has been severed from the
chain of loving companionship exist
ing in this body of womanhood: and,
| Whereas, our hearts are grieved TO
lose her gentle presence from our
midst, recognizing that in our grief
we but snare the sorrow of the COM
munity in which she lived, Ocala has
lost one of its brightest characters,
and the Woman's Club one of it's most
/ loyal members. Yielding to the di-
vine will of our Heavenly Father, we
pray that the sorrowing hearts of her
loved ones may be comforted in the
memory of the beautiful life that was
hers, as wife, mother, sister and
friend. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Woman's Club
extend deepest sympathy to the hus-
band and children of our dear depart
ed member, and to the other mem
bers of her family; and, be it further
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon page of our minutes,
dedicated to the sacred memory of
her whose delight was to be with
us, and that copies of said resolutions
be sent to the family of the deceas-
ed and to each of the local papers for
publication.

Arizona Senators
 Gaining in Fight

A Washington dispatch by William Wallace to the Phoenix Democrat says
 The past five days for the first time since the fight wss begun against the confirmation of Richard E Sloan ss federal judge Of Arizona, the oppo- nents of Sloan nre iu the msjjri V iu the Senate and are endeavoring to bring the confirmation up for 6 vote, realizing their power to defeat the former governor of the territory.
 For long time after President Taft sent the name of Sloan to the Senate the friends of the former governor were in the majority, and Senators Smith and Ashurst fought hard and successfully to keep the matter from coming up to a vote
 Since then, however, it has been made apparent to the Senate that the people of Arizona are almost unani. mously opposed to Sloan for the posi- tion and out of respect to the wishes of the people Of the new state and the desire of Senators Smith and Ashurst, e mum Der of members of the Upper house have switched and will vote sgsinst Sloan when the mat ter comes no for final decision
 A gallant rpbiil fight has been made against Sloan by Senator Smith, ably assisted by his young colleague. Senator Ashurst, and so untiring has been their work that for once they are in the majority and from present ape pearsntes il seems they have Sloan whipped to 2 stsndstill."
