Mr.. A. M. LANSFoRD'S GENERoS
ITY

Mr. A. NJ Lansford, of this city,
who is one of the best known and
most popular piano men in the state,
was extremely generous in the. assist
ance he rendered the Woman's club
for the Maud Powell concert, which
was one of the finest things ever held
in Ocala.
Mr.. Lansford, who is very public
spirited and always doing just the
right thing at the right time, not
only contributed the programs for
the evenings entertainment but also
gave the use of an elegant new Math-
ushek piano, which he had moved to
the opera house especially for this
concert.
In our yesterdays paper we stated
that M. Lichowski used his own piano
but our reporter was misinformed as
the piano was a Mathusek and was
loaned by Mr.. Lansford. The mem
bers of the Woman's club appreciate
very highly the generosity OF Mr..
Lansford.

NEWSPAPERS AND THE HOME
PRODUCT

Commenting on the announcement
of candidate for state office,
contemporary remarked that it did
not know much about the gentleman,
but his home newspapers gave him a
fine send-off, so he must be all right
We are not sure about this. A mans
home newspaper, provided the man is
halfway respectable, will lie like a
dog for him. How many pudding
heads have had the crown of states
manship fitted on their heads by the
home newspaper regardless of how
poorly they fit! No; the average ed
itor can give G. Washington pointers
on truth and veracity in the vicin-
ity" until he starts to descant upon
the home candidate or the home girl,
and then he falls from grace-and
what a fall, my countrymen. We

THE ocALA MOOSE

One of the most interesting and
best meetings that has ever taken
place with the Ocala lodge 500, Loyal
Order of Moose, was held in their
lodge room, Gary building, last
Thursday night, when some thirty of
our citizens were indicted into the
mysteries of Moosedom. The order
is one of the youngest in our city, and
yet from the start has shown to
those that have united with it that
it is destined to encircle the globe,
and all that have entered it's portals
find that purity, aid and progress is
practiced with the true definition of
their meaning, for at the altar, where
he takes his obligation, he is taught
from the first that he will receive aid
when troubles encompass him, and
that he is sure of the assistance and
support of his brother Moose in the
hour Of distress.
The Moose is a constant incentive
to man to choose the right and to
serve the world with the best of him
self. They believe no ones goodness
lives only for himself, and that no
ones evil cOrrupts only himself. The
true Moose believes that his best aid
can be- given by living for the high
est and the best, and ever remaining
true to his associates. Your own
character is the first aid of value that
you can give as a Moose.
The order has received a special
dispensation for very short time to
take in new members at the rate of
S., and with the elegant club rooms
and their well arranged system of
paying benefits, the order should ap-
peal to all worthy citizens that have
any idea of uniting with a secret or
der. Their club rooms are most COM
fortably furnished; pool tables and
other innocent games, reading matter,
stationery, music and all else that
SUES ~ AhoAS uP q AVopCSI6OAO S1uO'
The state organizer, w. Harry
Gage, who is here experimenting the
work, speaks very highly of the mem
bership, and the manner that all bus
mess is carried on by the lodge, and
he, as we'll as the members, are en-
deavoring to make the Ocala lodge,
No. 699, the banner lodge of the state
of Florida.
Anyone who contemplates joining
the order would do wei Ito consult
with Mr. E. L. Stapp, secretary, or
any of the members, as after the
charter closes the fee will be much
more. A large class, including the
following citizens, will be taken in
next Thursday night: Geo. L. Taylor,
DIR. w. s. Miller, A. S. Bower, w. F.
Ballenger, E. r. Hall, R. V. Hen
bricks, T. H. Mills, Herbert H. Aron-
ston, W. c. Blanchard, Marcus Frank,
J. G. Parrish, Leon Fishel, Harry C.
Cole, o. w. Cordero, e. r. Sapp, H.
W. Barnett and some fourteen others
are down for that particular night.

STRUGGLING WITH A BURGLAR
NOT GOOD FOR LUMBAGO

The st. Augustine correspondent
of the Jacksonville Metropolis, under
date of February II, says that State
Senator L. W. Zim had a lively expe-
rience with a burglar early Sunday
morning. The family was aroused
about 1890 o'clock Sunday morning
by noise down. stairs. Senator and
Mrs. Zim went down to investigate.
They looked the house over, but did
not find anyone, and were about to
return to their room when Mrs. Zim
peeped behind the parlor door and
discovered a man standing there.
She screamed with fright, but the
senator was not to be scared from his
own residence. He had an iron weight
in his hand and ordered the man to
throw up his hands. He hesitated,
and the weight came down on his
head with telling effect, and he beg
ged for mercy. f. gave his name as
H. L. Maloy. Hezis~a white man and
a stranger in the city. Senator Zim's
residence is but stones throw from
the police headquarters, and Officer
Pacetti, hearing the. disturbance,
quickly ran over and arrested him.
He will be given a hearing today.
Senator Zim has been suffering for
some time with lumbago, and his ex-
perience with the burglar has given
him a setback.

MEETING OF THE WoMANs CLUB

The regular meeting or the Wo-
mans club was held at the club
rooms Saturday afternoon at three
O'Clock with very good attendance.
The subject of the afternoon was
social service reform and splendid
program was rendered after the min
uets of the previous meeting had
been read.
The president made a report on the
Maude Powell concert which enter
tainment netted the club $500 which
will be used as beginning for the
fund for the erection of party club
house, which object the club members
now have so much at heart.
The concert was very greatly en-
joyed and the club regretted very
much that every person in Ocala could
not have heard Madame Powell.
1t was announced that the work
is well under way for the mammouth
Easter edition that the Woman's
club is to issue in book form. The
work is in charge of Mrs. Mamie
Howse Stovall and she has selected
a large number of lieutenants to as
sist her in getting up this splendid
edition, which is to be a mirrow of
the business, club, social and COM
mercial life of Oca1a The ladies are
meeting with fine success in the
work and the proceeds of this. edition
is also to be used for the club house
fund
Mrs. r. R. Carroll played beauti-
fully selections from Martha after
which Mrs. E. Van Hood gave brief
sketch of three women of the hour
in social service reform-Mrs. Grace
Strawn, of New York, who has sue
ceeded in securing for the women
school teachers of that state equal
school salaries as those received by
the men. Mrs. Caroline B. Crane, of
Michigan, who is making a wonder
full fight for civic cleanliness through
out the west and as far south as
Nashville and who has now trans
ferred her attention to New York
City, and Miss Martha Berry, of
Georgia, who is doing such a noble
work with her schools for the noun
tain boys and girls of north Georgia.
1t was Miss Berry that Mr.. Roosevelt
said she was the first woman he had
ever met who had made him sorry he
was a man.
Mrs. Duval gave a brief sketch of
another remarkable woman, Mrs.
Veal, who was born in the east but
who went to California at the time of
the gold discovery. She is now 102
years old and a few days ago baked
her own birthday cake and adorned it
with 102 candles.
Rev. J. B. Ley, was then intro
duced and made very splendid talk
on the Juvenile court work and it's
wonderful and far reaching results
for the future of the race. Mr.. Legs
speech was a very excellent one but
as later on it will be published in
full we will not give more extended
account of it here.
Mrs. w. A. Collier sang very charm
ingly IF l were a Rose" and respond
ed to an enthusiastic enchore.
At the adjournment Mrs. Maughs
and Mrs. Tidings served tea and
cakes.
At the executive meeting Mrs. S. R.
Pyles and Mrs. F. E. McClane were
elected to membership in the club.
Miss Mile Connigan, formerly
of this city but who for several years
has been in st. Louis and who is now
in Atlanta attending the millinery
openings in that city and studying
the styles, will arrive in a few days
and will be with Miss Mary Affeck.

CALGARY's PUBLICITY FUND
Citizens Raise Sum of $1oo,575 in Thirty-Six Hours to Advertise
 City.

The business men of Calgary, Al berta, in a campaign lasting thirty-six hours, raised $100,575 for publicity fund, every dollar of which will be spent under the direction of a pub !icity expert in advertising Calgary and tributary territory.
 Calgary is concrete example of what well-directed advertising will do, In 1901 it had a population of 4,9O1. In 1906 its population had increased to l1,976, and in 1908 to more than 10000. Last year it's population ex- ceeded 10000 and this year it claims 90,OO0 with probably 50,00O. That is what advertising has donafor Calgary. Admirably situated it undoubtedly is; destined to be great city, it probably is; but it is no more admirably situ- ated, nor are its prospects better, than many American cities that have not made anything like its showing.

The Product and It's Exploitation

The Product and It's Exploitation.
 Ut often happens" says the Mahin Messenger, "that the advertising is better than the goods-which. of course, means another name unfairly added to the list of advertising fail ures.'"
 And on the other hand, in spite of al that is said of the tendency to exaggerate in advertising. the cases are far more numerous in which the goods are better than the advertising The manufacturer or. merchant who rigidly maintains a high standard for his output, but slumps on his puo- licity, does himself great and costly injustice.
 Make the product and its exploita- ton equally worthy. If your wares are worth telling about, see that the story is told repeatedly. in varying form, to all the people who have money to buy, beginning with those in the market which may be most sat isfactorily and cheaply seryed-the large city markets first of all. And remember that there is no medium so efficient for covering densely pop ulated city and it's env;rons as the influential daily newspaper. x.
