itating it for a number of years, ana
It now looks as if the agitation is go
ing to bear fruit.

council, Mrs. c. l.. Bittinger, Mrs.
William Sinclair and Miss Minnie
Gamsby, accompanied by Mr.. j. Nj.
Meffert and Mr.. J. d. Rooney OF the
board of trade, put the matter before
the members of that body in such a
strong and pleasing light that the city
attorney was asked to prepare an or
dinapce which will be offered for
adoption at some future meeting,
This ordinance will authorize the levy
ing of a tax for the purchase of the
lot and the up-keep of the library for
a certain number of years, and when
this is done and Mr.. Carnegie is salts,
fed of it's legality he will guarantee
the construction of the library build

With the Woman's Club building, a

buildings and several unsightly lots
converted into beautiful parks Ocala
will feel degree of pride that she

)rize for the largest yield on ten
acres of any good product, you can
,eadily see that you will easily get
fifty or a hundred farmers competing
or this prize, and in this way in one
years time, the production of the
unity can be practically doubled.
The heaviest prizes should be placed
on the most neglected products OF

LABOR TO FORCE TEST BILLS.
In a formal address to all officers
and members Of organized labor,
signed by President Gompers and
other officials of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, notice is given that
labor now demands the passage of
the Bartlett-Bacon bills without de-
lay and without change" 1t declares
that the Democratic party is pledged
to this policy and that the pres ent
congress is on record as having fay-
ored the exemption of labor bodies
under the Sherman law, and that Pres
ident Wilson signed the sundry civil
service bill carrying that provision
as a rider. Labor bodies are urged
at once to make their power felt by
getting in touch with their respective
members. The bills referred to are
measures designed to place on the
statute books the positive prohibition
of court injupctions in labor dispute:
unless full cause is shown and max
| ing personal rights the superior tc
property rights expressly, also max
/ ing lawful certain agricultural organi
cations and exempt them from appli
cations Of the antitrust law.

NO LAW FOR WOMEN NoTARlEs

1t has been discovered, in connec-

decision in regard to notaries public.
that there Is no provision in the Iowa
law for women being public officials
and holding the Office of notary. The
supreme court has held that public
officials must be qualified electors, and
notary is public official by APP
pointment of the governor But in
view OF the fact that great many
women have held the office and that
land titles and other instruments are
involved, it will probably not be held
that these Offices were Illegally held
No action is contemplated that
will raise the question unless it Is

You speak of faults you see;

To say his work is fine,
And would stop to help him when

Both you and I'd be helping then
To make a better world.
But just as long as you keep still
And plod your selfish way
And rush on and needless kin

And keep our gay flags furled,

If automobile numbers are to be

manner to be dangerous to the public,

been received at the automobile de-

time ago Secretary of State Allen re-
called and Cancelled an automobile
number on evidence that the owner
of the car had driven the same while
he was intoxicated. Evidence In other
similar cases is on his desk A Des

But the law clearly contemplates
that number shall be issued only

The secretary seems to have e.
