Special Cor. Ocala Banner:
Among the visitors in town for the
holidays are Mr.. and Mrs. John Al
len and son, Wallace, from Quincy,
Mr.. Charles Holloway and Miss Myr-
tie Allen of Tampa, Mr.. Waddell of
Georgia, Miss Mamie Thomas of Pa
latka, Mr. Lee Golding of Pensacola,
Mr.. George Noteworthy of Leesburg.
The young ladies are going to make
one more desperate attempt to 'land"
man ere leap year passes, so invi-
tations are out to a social given by
the girls club Friday night.
The school entertainment came off
Monday night and was a grand sue
cess. The school children acted
their parts well. The main feature
was a kindergarten school," in
which the pupils were the men from
around town attired in tiny tots
clothing Needless to say it was very
amusing as well as instructive, espe-
cially the jokes the pupils got off on
some of the town folks. The play
was given in the lodge hall, which
was packed to its utmost capacity,
even standing room being at pre-
MUM, due no doubt to the extensive
advertising of the play.

While giving of the riches we possess

HOMESTEADS ON
NATIONAL FORESTS

Since congress passed the for
est homestead act of June IL,
1906, two thousand seven hum
dred and twenty-seven settlers
have been given homes on the
New Mexico and Arizona Ma
tional Forests. -Four hundred
and ninety-seven homes were ac-
quired during the past fiscal year.
This record of homesteads ap-
piled for and granted is pointed
to by the government as illustra-
tive of a general recognition on
the part of the forest users that
homesteads on the forests may
be acquired as readily as on the
the public domain. The routine
of application and listing varies
to some extent, but the require
ment of residence is the same in
both cases, three years.
The forest homesteads, as a
rule, consist of small scattered
patches of cleared land or land so
valuable for agriculture that, in
accordance with the government
policy of putting land within the
forests to the highest use, it is
opened to entry on the request of
prospective homesteaders
One hundred and twenty-six
thousand three hundred and
forty-two acres have been opened
to entry in Arizona forests dur
ing the past seven years and in
New Mexico, one hundred forty
seven. thousand and ten acres
have been listed during the same
period.

A BOOK ON
SWEET CLOVER

| Referring again to the sweet
clover subject, we find that {
good many Of our readers are
disposed to regard it as a joke
or of no Importance.
But there is so much testimony
on the right side that we cannot
help but believe that it is not on
ly not joke, but subject of
the greatest Importance to the
farmers of this county and of the
i entire region known as the dry
country.
]. M. Caddy who now lives in
Kansas City, has sent us little
book published by the A. I. Root
company of Medina, Ohio, which
is made up of clippings from
farm papers, letters from farm
ers who have experimental with
sweet clover, state experiment
stations, etc.
The firm which publishes this
book has seed to sell, and to that
extent is interested in a financial
way in boosting the sweet clover
idea, but the idea is now so wide
ly disseminated that no doubt the
seed can be procured from any
reliable seed house. The book
contains such mass of informa-
tion from so many widely separ-
ated sources that we should
think anyone interested would
do we'll to geta copy of it and
study it.
Any reader who would be in
terested is welcome to the use of
the book sent us by Mr.. Caddy.

was unworthy of the confidence
of the people and now he expects
after leading a life of acknowl
edged outlawry, that he should
be permitted to return to a sta
tion in life higher than he had
ever held before.
l do not like to knock on AL
because l knew him intimately
and he tried to be my friend but
| am opposed to the kind of writ
ing he is doing. If he was teach
ing some lesson then it would be
all right, but there is nothing in
Beating Back" that conveys
the least indication there is a
penalty on every crime and that
no crime goes unpunished. He
gives the impression that he had
the best of the law at every turn.
The only time he ever beat the
law was when Bud Ledbetter,
then United States marshal, had
him and his gang cornered in an
old stone hut. Jennings had his
men keep up an incessant firing
while he slipped out into the
woods. Bud discovered the ruse
and almost succeeded in captur-
ing AL but the underbrush was
too thick for him to pick up the
trail Several of the men who
stood their post while their lead
er made his get away were cap
tured.
In my opinion there is no de-
gree of sin. When man know
ingly commits one crime he is
just as bad as the man who COM
mits two crimes. 1t is possible
for him to reform and lead a good
life afterwards but the stain of
the crime must hang to him. I
do not think there is a degree of
honor either. A man is either
honorable or he is dishonorable."

MORE REPORTS BY
TRAVELLING AUDITOR

The travelling auditor has fur
nished something to talk abou
during the past week by his re
port on matters official in Eddy
and San Miguel counties. These
reports make it appear that there
has been much looseness, if moi
positive dishonesty in conducting
the affairs of those counties, but
it is not improbable that many
of the things complained of by
the auditor can be satisfactorily
explained.
The governor says he is going
to have the district attorneys
take hold of these matters and
do something about it, and if
they don't do something, some-
thing else will be doing. What
that something else will be, we
cannot say.
And by the way, this brings to
mind the fact that the auditor
made a report on Socorro county
last year, which report specified
many sins of omission and COM
mission on the part of former
and incumbent county officers,
one very glaring misdemeanor
charged being that a county Off
Ger bought furniture for his
home, had it charged to the
county, and the county paid the
bill. Has anything further been
done in Socorro county matters?
We don't remember hearing of
further action The report
Gems to have been the beginning
and the end of it.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
AT WILLARD

Willard had a destructive fire
last Saturday night, wiping OUT
four buildings.
The Vondeveld general store,
the Ottosen drug store, Satur.
nino Lueras saloon and an unoc-
cupied building owned by L. G.
Grover were consumed.
Nothing was saved from the
Vondeveld stock. The building
belonged to the bank. Mr.. Won
develd estimates his net loss
above insurance at 81, 900.
Part of the stock from the
Lueras saloon was saved. There
was no insurance on the building.
Some fixtures were saved from
the Ottosen drug store. DR..
Ottosen estimates his net loss at
81 300.
There was no insurance on
the Grover building which was a
small one, the loss probably
amounting to 5000 to $500.
The fire started in the ware
room of the Vondeveld store. We
have heard no report as to how
the fire originated.

WHO'S NEXT?

The following was sent by a
subscriber:
1t is very commendable in
Master Nolion Yancy in District
20 to walk 5 miles to school and 5
miles back home again every
day without complaint as men,
toned in your paper of October
Both, he being fourteen years of
age. But Cedarvale can go him
several points better and then
some, as we have in this school
district two girls aged ten years
and eight years respectively,
named Phoebe and Fannie
Knight, who walk 10 miles to
school, 5 miles going and 5 miles
returning. But while it may be
very commendable in the chill
dren, who are children of Geo.
A. Knight, Jr., the writer
thinks it too strenuous for girls
or boys of that age.
Through the courtesy of Con-
gressman Ferguson we are in
possession of a copy of the Treas
ury Department Regulations con-
cerning the collection of the in
come tax. We regret to state
that we are not personally inter-
ested in this matter. If any of
our readers need to post up on
the income tax, our copy of the
regulations is theirs for the ask
ing.
Considering the fearful biz
yards in the great lakes region
and the beautiful weather we
have been enjoying here, we do
not properly appreciate our
splendid climate. On account of
the tremendous disturbance in
the east we are probably due to
have a little furry, but it is safe
to count on a very mild affair in
comparison.
