The Coupon Law
Whereas, the legislature of the
state of Florida during the session
just closed, enacted a general rev.
enue bill which provided for an an
nual state license tax of five hundred
dollars, and county license tax of
two hundred and fifty dollars, for
each and every place of business
wherein merchandise bargained or
sold in the course of trade with
which any coupon, profit sharing GER
ftifcates, or other evidence of indebt-
~edness or liability redeemable in pre-
miums shall be given; and,
Whereas, there are in the state of
Florida over five thousand merch-
ants who are. affected by this law,
and who have purchased merchan-
disc worth thousands of dollars with
which coupons redeemable in pre-
iums, and which merchandise under
the law now cannot be sold without
making criminals of a large number
of our citizens; and,
Whereas, such law bears heavily
upon a great number of our citizens
and will deprive them of their prop
-erty, which has already been bought
and paid for, unless construction
of said law is made, which will be
right and just, and will give them
opportunity of disposing of such
merchandise; and,
Whereas, the various boards of
trade throughout the state of Flor
ida have under consideration the
means of amicably reaching an adj
justment so as to prevent damage
and loss by these five thousand or
more merchants in the state of Flor
ida; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Marion County
Board of Trade of Ocala. Florida,
that We join with the various boards
of trade throughout the state in en-
deavoring to get a construction OF
the law so as to prevent untold dam
ages to the citizens of our state. and
that our Board of Trade use its best
efforts in the accomplishment OF
same; be it further
Resolved, that a copy of these res

IMPROVEMENT AT PARK.
Grounds to Have Careful Attention
Before Opening of Season.

The officers and stockholders of the
Alexandria Sporting Association, an
ticipating that this year will be the
most successful baseball season of the
Association career, will Immediately
commence to make improvements at
the baseball park so as to have every
thing in first class condition for the

The grounds will be carefully har-
rowed, ,and holes filled, stone and rocks
removed from the diamond, and the
entire field rolled to smooth and
even surface. When this work is
completed Alexandria will have an
amateur baseball diamond that will be
the equal of any in the state.
A new feature will be added this
season to the park that is sure to
please the followers Of athletics. A
surveyor will be engaged TO lay out
an oval cinder path on the extreme
sides and ends of the park whose cir
cult vii lbc one-eighth of a mile. The
cinder path will act for double pur-
pose-improve the looks Of the park
and be used for foot races of every
description.
During the season there will be a
series of races for adults as we'll as
scholo boys, and if possible, the ath-
letically inclined young ladies will be
given a chance to display their skill
and speed on the cinder path. Hand
some prizes will be awarded the win
ners of the races.
Charles J. Graf, the well-known
amateur baseball magnate of Wash
ington, D. c., will assist the Cardinal
Athletic Club by getting teams of
first class organizations to play en-
hbition games in Alexandria.
The Cardinals members are now
practicing in Armory Hall evenings to
get themselves in trim for their early
spring games. Captain Kemp Cock
rell will only allow his squad the
lightest kind of practice indoors.pre-
fcrring to wait until they can play

Believes Son Lives.

Inspired by the belief that her son.
VINO died 1S months ago, still breathes
because his body harbors some "eter-
nal fire." Mrs. Martha Alessandri,
wife of Riccordo Alessandri. an Ital-
ian employe of the Venezuelan Le-
CATION in Washington yesterday pre-
vailed upon the authorities to open
the coffin that she might be assured
her sor was dead. Even after she
had viewed the face of the body
through the glass of the coffin and two
eminent physicians had declared she
was mistaken, the heart-broken
mother refused to believe the boy is
dead. The 17-year-old boy, Riccordo,
ir., succumbed to tuberculosis August
IS, 1911. Since that time his mother
has visited the chapel at St. Mary's
cemetery, in which the casket has lain,
placing flowers and burning candles
upon it. To prevent the cemetery
superintendent from burying the body
Mrs. Alessandri has been compelled
to obtain innumerable permits from
the Health Department of the District
of Columbia. For months after the
boys death she besieged that depart
ment to open the casket, declaring
that her son would be found alive.
Failing she appealed to physicians to
make an investigation.
