Put True Valuation
Don't try and deceive yourself by
an under or over valuation. 1t has
busted many business man. On all

which we will enter into the Profit

statement of what we have accom-
plished in 1914. Whether it is a gain
or loss, we can quite accurately tell
the. "Why."
1t is a statement we will be proud
to study and ponder over, planning
how we can improve on it in 1915.
We can take it to our banker friend
and discuss it with him, and advise
with him how we can improve on it.
1t is practical, it is simple, and you
and I can do it. Will We? 1t is bust
nesslike and will help us to know the

we ought to do it.
No doubt many Of US are going
much further and into more details,
getting exact returns from each item
of income, charging up it's proper
tionate share Of labor and expense,
etc. That will all come to US natural
ly, and we will want to do it, if we
will only start in this simple way.

United States. Appeal from the de
cision of the three United States
court judges in this case has beer
taken by the Thos. F. West, attorney
general of the satae of Florida.
Judge Call has signed an order
where the appellees are cited to ap
pear at a session of the supreme
court of the United States of America
to be held at Washington D c., tc
show cause If any why the order and
decree of Judge David D. Shelby
Judge Rhydon VI. Call and Judge
Williams D. Sheppard should not be
corrected and reversed.
AS an assignment of errors it is
stated that the court erred in the
following particulars.
l. In overruling and denying the
motion of said defendants to dismiss
the bill of complaint of said com
plainants upon the grounds stated in
said motion to dismiss.
2. In deciding that the statute re-
ferred to. that is to say section 35
of chapter 6421, laws of Florida, con
travenes and violates the provision OF
the fourteenth amendment of the
constitution of the United States, and
is therefore invalid and not enforca-
BILE.
3. In deciding that temporary in
junction as prayed for in complain
ants bill of complaint should issue
against the said defendants, and each
of them.
4. In granting the prayer for a
temporary injunction against the said
defendants. as prayed in their bill of
complaint.

to Tallahassee, on which occasion he
mentioned that he contemplated APP
pealing the state coupon law, which
had been declared invalid.

WILL REORGANIZE TO CONFORM
WITH ANTITRUST LAW
nv Associated 2ress.l

Washington, Dec. 22.-President
Wilson today let it be known that an
other corporation besides the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany had shown a disposition to take
he initiative in recognizing to con-
form with the provisions of the Sher-
nan antitrust law
The president, however, did not
specify which of the several corpora
tons it was, but reiterated that there
was a general disposition on the part
Of the corporations to inquire what
he law was in the matter. He said
hat the big business of the corpora
ton made it anxious to learn just
what was expected of it.
The president made it clear that
the policy of his administration to CO.

about an understanding of the law.
He said that the executive depart
ment did not wish to raise any bar.
riers against those who wanted to
obey the law. He indicated that he
hoped that the example shown by the
telephone settlement might be taken
as pointing to the future course of his
administration.
President Wilson intends to read a
special message to congress after
Christmas on the trust question, in
which he will point out the necessity
of the rigid enforcement of the Sher-
man law, and will endeavor to make
clear the department of Justices in
depreciation of the law. The depart
ment of justice has admitted that sew
eral of tn corporations havs ubmitted
plans for friendly settlement.

A STITCH IN TIME

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. IS, 1913.
To the Editor of the Ocala Banner:
Nature is very bountiful giver of
the good and the beautiful. She has
covered the earth with verdure, and
has made it mighty nice place to
live in. Man on the other hand has
a destructive tendency. not thinking
as a rule OF anything beyond the pres
ent moment. A man will enjoy going
out into the ocean and catching fish
for fun that he cannot eat, that he
has to throw away. simply for the
enjoyment of destroying. He will go
out and hunt for game annd he will
kill where he does not intend to use.
This is true with reference to the for
estry question. We cut away the trees,
destroy, devastate the landscape with
out thinking of the future The expert
ence of other states has proven that
1t is mistake to cut away the forest
without trying to bring them back
again. Now what can we, and what
ought we to do in the matter? 1t
seems to my comprehension that it
would be wise for every land holder
in Florida to see that the wild lands
are planted out in trees of commercial
Importance that will be of use in the
comparatively near future; that will
beautify the landscape and enrich the
state. One of our greatest statesman
writes me as follows:
1T is true that we have been very
wastefuI of our natural resources not
only in Florida, but elsewhere
throughout the country. A little eff
fort and attention to reforastation in
Florida would result in vast good, as,
perhaps, there is no state in the union
where timber producing vegetation,
both hard and soft. grows more
luxuriantly than in our state"
We have just barely been touching
the question. What we would like to
see is a sentiment pervading the en-
tire state, with no exceptions-in
other words, in which every citizen
is anxious and willing to lend his
assistance to this great question.
A pull all together in this great
matter means a beautiful state, and a
rich state-one of the finest in the
entire galaxy of states.

GENERAL DESIRE TO GET AWAY
+: RUSHED CURRENCY BILL
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 22.-The admins
tration currency bill, in it's final form,
was reported by both houses of con-
gress today, to be written into law.
| The members of the conference
committee labored until dawn this
morning, and finally presented the
perfected measure, which closely fol-
lowed the lines laid down by Presi-
dent Wilson in his demands for cur
rency reform. They agreed on vir-
tually all of the fundamentals of the
measure as passed by the senate.
A general desire to get away from
Washington for the holidays made it
almost certain that the bill would be
ready for the presidents signature be-
fore night.
provision that not less than eight or
provision that noe less than eight or
more than twelve regional banks
should be created. The amendment
allowing the use of the present bank
notes was stricken out, and the re-
serve requirements for banks enter
ing the system were strengthened.
Although the leaders in congress
bent their every effort for the speedy
approval of the currency bill today SO
that it might be signed before night,
a series of delays developed. AS the
day progressed, however, efforts were
redoubled to get the bill bfore the
president, SO that he could leave for
his Christmas vacation tomorrow.

LET US BE CONSIDERABLE AND
CHARITABLE

Cripples. beggars and persons de-
pendent on aims for support are
warned to keep away from st. Peters
burg. The frozen face, the iron
heart and, if need be. the strong arm
awaits them in that faStidious city,
where there must be no unpleasant
sights, no suggestion of poverty or
suffering in the world to offend the
delicate sensibilities of the citizens
and tourists Mendicants of a certain
kind are SO nearly allied to criminals
and vagabonds that they should be
kept out of a respectable community;
but hard and fast rule on the sub
ject would be a very cruel one and
would impose great hardship upon
some unfortunateS whose only crime
is their .helplessness and would have
no way to keep alive except by solicit
ing charity. In such matters the pol
lice should be given adequate discre-
ton to discriminate between the wor-
thy and unworthy and not put all UNI
der the ban of a pitiless law of exclu-
sion.-Lakeland Telegram.
The above is reproduced in our col
umns with a great deal of pleasure.
We are commanded to have compass
sion on the poor and unfortunate, and
should not harden our hearts against
them. Let us always remember that
the Master had not where to lay his
head yet the world was blessed by
his passing through it. Let us be con-
siderate and charitable as Christ was
considerate and charitable. Let us
pity the sorrows of the aged, helpless
and unfortunate. Let the Christians
prayer be that the fountains of be-
nevolence shall not be closed against
them.

SCENE OF DEsOLATloN PRE-
SENTED IN CHIHUAHUA
(By Associated Press. }

Chihuahua, Mex, Dec. 22.-The reb'
els, who are in control of the tele-
graph and railroad communication to-
day, had reached a point where Gen
eral Villa believed himself safe from
attack from the federal army in the
north Although there are four thou
sand federal troops at Ojinaga who
are said to be preparing for an adj
vance, Villa declared that he believed
they could do no more harm than de-
stroy the railroad.
Chihuahua presents desolate
scene. The stores are almost empty,
and the streets are Uttered with
goods which the federals in their
haste could not carry off. The cathe-
dral and churches are empty since the
expulsion of the priests and the nuns.
The streets are plastered with notices
that even trivial offenses will be pun
ished by execution.
General Villa, who can neither read
nor write, exercises all functions of
government from the state capital.

Whats chautauqua, anyway are
you asking?
Dear reader. just look in another
part of this paper for a chautauqua
announcement. After you have look
ed, think it over

grand opera stars, science demon
strator, a presenter of modern plays

that come to you right at home here
during the first ten days of March.
A seasons pass to everything

just four dollars.
Now, when the Blue Lady calls.
don't ask her to believe that you
would prefer to wait and pay single
admissions You wouldn't. You are
rather economical Confess. Why,
single admissions through the ten
days amount TO thirteen dollars, If
you go in the evenings only, You save
two do'l9~G 5y the use Of a season >
ticket. Besides. you want a reserv-
ed seat, and the season ticket plan
is the only ore that carries reserva-
tons.
Don't tell your caller that business
is so rushing in March that you can't
get away. Every man gets away
when chautauqua comes to town. Out
west the stores close when the pop
ular lecture begins.
Don't say that you do not care for
that sort of thing" Chautauqua is
every sort of thing that's good think
ing, good hearing and good seeing.
II you are the least bit of boost
er for Ocala, you can't reasonably be
Indifferent to chautauqua. 1t will put
our town in the limelight Chautau-
qua is a community builder. If we
help support the chautauqua this
year it will help support us next year.
That's the history of chautauqua.
How many tickets can you and your
people use?
Remember, this is our chautauqua,

success means our success.
Get your tickets now: they are
ready. A better all-round program
than was ever given in Florida before
