SENATOR BRYAN AND THE PAR
Gel POST

We feel very near that Bryan boy
we sent to the senate, and while we
would never permit anyone else to
spank him, we don't like his attitude
against the parcel post, and are
afraid we shall be forced to use the
back of the hair brush on him when
we see him.
Every little two-by-four agent of the
Southern Express Company in Flor
ida knitted the editor of the Floridiar
when he ran for congress on account
of his attitude against these com
panies and in favor of the parcel post
and We must confess that Senator
Bryan's position upon this important
question has been to us a most griev
Gus disappointment

There are three cities in Florida of
what may be called the second rank,
between which there is a hard and
strenuous race for leadership in their
class. These are Orlando, Lakeland
and Ocala. In writing up matter for
this department we are frequently
struck with the far greater number
of times that we are forced to men,
ton one or the other of these three
and sometimes all three-than any
other cities in the state. We men
ton them oftenest because things
happen in them most frequently; in
fact something occurs in one or the
other of them every day. One of the
latest things in any of them is the
meeting of the board of trade OF
Ocala on the 5th inst, for the pur-
pose of consulting with A. II. Twom-
bly,, the sewerage expert, who has de-
signed Tampa's system. in regard to
putting in a system for Ocala.-Tam-

Washington, Aug. 12.-Charles

A generous citizen of Ocala has do
mated a five-acre lot for the erection
of a new school house in the north

a handsome, modern school house
thereon, adding greatly to the at

ocALA NEVER SLEEPS

Ocala is not saying very much
through the columns of her local
newspapers of her development and
growth, but we very much doubt if
there is any town in Florida that is
putting on more handsome and sub
stantial frills and flounces.
When it comes to adornment she is
entirely unlike September Morn"
The Merchants block, already a
very handsome building, is undergo
ing complete repairs, which will put
it in the most modern class. The An.
derson Drug Company is following the
example set by the Merchants block
and there will be very few more at
tractive store rooms in this city, or
in any city of its size, when the con
templated improvements are complet
ed. The Murray Company has also
caught the inspiration, and will i'm
mediately have an entire overhauling
The Tolar-McLaughlin Furniture Co.,
has just put in change of front
which adds materially to the looks OF
their attractive store. The water
works plant and the electric light
plant are to be remodeled, enlarged
and improved. If the bonds are voted
on favorably we shall have two hand
some school buildings, one to. cost
$4,000. A sewer installment will
follow. The new Marion county hos
pital will soon be finished. It is q
large, commodious building, and
would be a credit to any city, and nc
city in Florida could have a more
beautiful location. There are mum
Der of dwellings in course of con

A thought from the Philadelphia
Public Ledger: ''Ten years ago, when
sensational journalism threatened to
sweep away everything sane and con-
sentative, there was an idea that the
editorial page was the most unneces-
sary part of a newspaper. There are
even persons who forget that the i'm
portant part of the human being is
the heart or soul. A newspaper with
out its editorial page is simply a
framework without the vital touch
with the great movements and
thoughts of the times"

IMPROVEMENTS FOR CEDAR KEY

Levy county has had splendid
development in lumber, naval stores
and phosphate, and comprises some
of the best hammock land to be found
in the state of Florida. The vegeta-
BILE production of Williston, Morris
tan, Archer, Bronson, poured strong
stream of ready money into the hands
of the farmers the past season, and
additional acreage is planned for this
winter and spring. Levy county is
foremost in the production of cucum-
bers, which find most ready sale at
remunerative prices.
| It's port, Cedar Key, is making a
strong bid for larger share of the
remunerative sponge-fshing business,
which is carried on at several points
along the gulf shore. A strong cor
poration has been formed to promote
the sponge-fishing industry.
One Of the best instances of prog
ress at Cedar Key is the plan which
Major w. X. Thomas, president or the
Dutton Bank at Gainesville, has I'M
der way for the construction of a 80
room hotel, modern and well equip
ped, to cost $4,000. The plans are
out, and large proportion of the cap
lila necessary has been subscribed.
The building of this hotel will mean
much for Cedar Key, and will attract
many who desire this class of resort,
where the climate is good and good
fishing can be found.-Cedar Key

For days when company must be espe-

How Much Sugar to
Make First Class jelly.

Jelly can be made without adding
sugar to the fruit juice, but it re-
quires about six times as much juice
for the same amount of jelly as when
sugar is used, and the product is tough
and unpalatable," says Prof. A. B.
Milan, of the domestic science depart
ment of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege in Circular No. 3 on "Principles
of Jelly Making"
From the standpoint of both econ
omy and palatability, therefore, sugar
is very desirable accessory" she con-
tinues. "The correct proportion of
sugar for fruit juices that are rich in
pectin and fairly acidic usually varies
from three fourths (by measure) as
much sugar as juice, to equal parts.
"Currants and grapes usually make
the best jellies when equal amounts of
sugar and juice are used. For apples,
red raspberries, blackberries, crabap.
pies and cranberries, three-fourths as
much sugar as juice is more likely tc
be the correct proportion"

The HOthOuse Tomato
Business Is Growing.

"The business of growing vegeta-
bles under glass is undergoing
steady increase all over the North
west" says Prof. A. G. Bouquet, of
the Oregon Agricultural College.
Tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers are
being grown much more extensively
than formerly. These crops, in order
to be most profitable, must be pro-
duced so as to get good market
price and at the same time satisfy the
popular demand. Of the three crops
named, the forced tomato is probably
the one which will bring the grower
the most money under ordinary condi-
tions.
"The greenhouse tomato, as it is de-
manded by the open markets at the
present time, should have certain def
mite characteristics, which include
earliness of maturity, fine quality,
productivity, uniformity in size, color
and shape, all of which have their
definite bearing on the financial out
come of the crop. If the general pub
lie is to pay price of from 15 to 80
cents pound for greenhouse toma-
toes, they must be fine in quality,
smooth and of good color. At the
present time the market demands a
tomato weighing from to ounces
and packing from 1S to "a into A.
quart basket, four of these baskets
comprising crate. Packed in this
manner as fancy article, and put on
the market as such, early prices, vary
ing of course through different years,
will net the grower 10 to 20 cents
pound, or from Is to 80 cents q
pound Wholesale
