limestone on the SOIL at the present
time of unusual Importance. About
one ton to the acre, he thinks, would
render available the natural potash
in the soil and feed the plants for at
least a year and also neutral:ze every
unfavorable chemical condition.
With this in view, Mr.. Watson has
taken the matter UP with several of
the large manufacturing firms and
states that the previous difficulty of
the cost of the ground limestone be-
ing too high seems to be done away.
One of the offers, he thinks, particu-
larly advantageous, the price being
$3.50 per ton sent f. o. b. in car lots
from Ocala He stated that he would
be delighted to give any one inter
ested further details as 10 how, where
and when and why to get It.
In this connection, Mr. Watson
further stated, that there was not an
acre in the county, or the state for
that matter, that would not be great
ly benefited by the use of this ground
limestone at the present time. In
case any of the farmers did not de-
sire a full carload, he offered the
suggestion that they buy in co-opera-
ton.
1t would not do, he continued, to
use the lime excessively, year after
year, as it would draw all of the re-
sources out and impoverish the sol
in time. 1t is, however. the most
feasible means for securing relief
from the German shortage, when the
manufacturers either wont sell it OF
claim that they have none on hand
and will do no harm If properly ad-
min:stered.
1t is his opinion that the lime
should be applied in the fall. He
further added, that many of the pro
ducts which are usually hurt by the
use OF lime are the ones most in need
of potash, and, If used properly, this
lime would be beneficial in that re-
spect.

not stand anything of this sort near
their schoolhouse. They would burn
the resorts if there was no other way
of getting rid of them.
The houses themselves are near
enough for the teachers and pupils
to hear the riotous noises made by
their visitors. Also, the Nhacks TAX
ing men to the joints pass right by
the school, and any white man can
decide very quickly what an evil this
alone is, when from half dozen to
score of drunken men are likely TO
go by every day.
The Star doesn't know whether the
council can move the resorts, or not,
but it can make the hacks take an
other route, anG this should be done
at once.

divided into bedrooms, sixteen double
and two single, with wide halls be-
tween All are we'll lighted and ven
tiIated. There are bathrooms on each
floor, and many hotel is less com
fortably fitted up.
The old high school building on its
hill among the trees is ideally s:tuat-
ed for a quiet students home, and it
is fine idea to put it to this use.
Howard Academy
It is doubtful that any town in the
state is doing as much for its color
ed children as Ocala. Howard Acad-
envy has become crowded, and the
school board is putting up another
and larger building on the big lot in
the west end Work is going on
steadily and the building will be
ready for occupancy by the first OF
the year.
The new building, beside giving
ample room for all the pupils, will
enable the school board to install de-
partments for manual training and
domestic science. The coIored school
population of Ocala is about 700
There is one trouble about the To-
cation of Howard Academy, and that
IS its proximity to the redlight dis
trict. The resorts were not in. that
part of town when the schoolhouse
was located there almost twenty
years ago, but nave grown up since.
1t is an evil, for the removal of
which the colored people have the
right to expect the help of the whites.

useful information in caring for sick
or wounded.
Next year, probably, there VIII be
a department OF manual training. A
room is reserved for it In the base
ment, and some Of the space to be
used by the primary grades will be
devoted to a gymnasium.
The heating apparatus is in the
basement, centering in the engine
room, which is absolutely freproof.
1t is metal and cement; there is
nothing in it to catch fire.
The toilet AMI Mushrooms are IN
the basement; they are ample in size
and complete in equipment, having
the most up-to-date appliances.
A most important part of the
school equipment is the drinking
fountains, Of which there are a num-
Der on each floor They do away with
the cup entirely. The pupil drinks
from the fountain; the lips never
touching the metal, over which a
stream of water plays while the pupil
is drinking. This is the best idea yet.
The halls and stairways are wide,
and the latter have grated mattfngs,
. making slipping on them impossible.
Every door in the house opens out
wardly. There are NO bolts, except
10 the outer doors to be locked at
night. Every door is held shut au-
tomatica1ly, hut can be easily push
ed open by child.
The entire house will be cleaned
with vacuum cleaners, operated in
each room by pressure from the en-
CINE room. There are many other
conveniences that we have not time
to refer to.
The Primary School Building
This building looks like the ruins
of Louvain now, but will be in good
shape for the pupils in few weeks.
1t was to have been ready Nov. l,
but Dec. / will be nearer. 1t is be-

COUNTY DIVISION QUESTION

The county division meeting held
here last Friday was largely attend
ed and Gilmore and the west end of
the valley was we'll represented. A
committee from Soldier and Fair
field was heard. 1t would take pa
ges to fully report the meeting and
we will confine ourselves to the vi.
tails. The whole undertaking Is
wrong up to the present. In the
first place the petition should have
been launched by representative
committee representing the valley, and
not by a few individuals and the terri
tory desired and other matters
should have b cen worked out. From
a careful study of the situation we
do not believe that a legislature
would grant any unreasonable divi-
sion or county formation and we
know the matter is in the hands of
the powers that be and we will
stand for what will be best for the
old county and for the prospective
new ones. With the information we
have we can only say, Good Lord"
Good Devil" for we do not know
whose hands we viii fall into.
