DRAGGING NOT BEWAHING

Just at this gracious season, when
spring and when We are all congrat-
ulating ourselves on the best winter
season in the history of the state we
are surprised to see copious tears
dropping on the manly shirt-front of
the Ocala Star.
The Star has some sort of a
crouch on. 1t says "Ocala is an or
phan, and red-headed one at that.
Why? We read further. mo Flag
Ter nor Plant has built for her mag
nificent hotels; no Stetson has en-
doWed her with an university; no
bunch of politicians has given her a
big state built and state supported
school"
Again: The railroads have given
her only what they had to give to
carry on their own business, and have
taken every cent they could extort
in return
And again: The nearest thing to
n godfather she has ever had is Steve
Sparkman, who worried Uncle Sam
into giving her a federal building
which, after all, Uncle Sam needed as
much as Ocala."
Cut out this moaning, brother. You
ought to be proud of what your
town has accomplished, orphan
though it may be. From all accounts
Ocala is on the best business basis
of any town in the state. 1t has made
substantial improvements and it is
the center of one of the richest sec
lions of the entire state. Its central
location is a wonderful asset. AS
you go on to say, on second thought
the people Of Ocala have the most
solid all-the-year-round town in Flor.

That being true, what do you wan

why these tears? Look up and smile

an orphan" but We have know
some orphans who were irresistibl

The Star thanks the Tribune TO
its sympathy, but our Tampa conten
porary has read between the wron
lines. The Star is Dragging o
Ocala's ability to hoe her own row
and not bewailing her loneliness.
Ocala asks nothing of all the worl
but justice, and she puts in her tim
hustling for that; not begging fo
lit.
The Star intended to convey th
idea that it was proud of what Ocal
had done for herself, and not that
was bewailing the handouts sh

Another prominent man wrote that
he hurt his hack last winter in a fall
which he suffered, and he feared he
would be an unsatisfactory and i'm

One of the memb ers OF the club

RAINS IN BACA COUNTY

During the past week a raIu, beginning
Wednesday and continuing until Friday
noon, with no interruption, occurred over
all of Baca county and the southeastern
part of Colorado. Except during Thurs
day night the rainfall was not heavy, be-
ing readily absorbed by the soil. The
total amounted to J. Ct inches, which add.
ed to the SO inches received on the 23d,
25th and 26th of April, makes a total of
As inches OF rainfall received in ten days.
As result of this our soil is thoroughly
saturated down to the depth of four feet
or more, and a good crop season is prac-
tically assured on all of the so-called dry
land.
Here on the segregation the crops are
in such fine condition that it is thought
that no irrigation will be required for the
Grain crops, and no water will be needed
on alfalfa until after the first cutting which
will be made in the latter part of Nav.
The reservoir began to rise Thursday
night and continued to rise until Saturday
noon, when the gage showed 81 #. E in.
or within IL S #. of the spilIway. Water
was discharged into the reservoir until
Tuesday, but no appreciable rise has been
observed. Two Buttes Sentinel.
