To the Editor Ocala Banner:
1t is the concensus of opinion of
some of the keenest and most far
sighted men that the United States
is entering on an era of prosperity
that will completely overshadow even
the great periods of business pros
perity that have already come to this
country since the civil war. They
assign many sound reasons for this
prediction.
The first, and the one which is the
most significant to many of them, is
that we have gone through a season
of business depression for the first
time in our history without panic.
The old-time spectators who could
always scent panic, and make mon
ey out of it, are completely confused.
They have seen a financial state OF
affairs never before known. They
have seen the banks full of money
during a business depression, and no
particular call for the money on any
side. They have seen Europe throw
back into this country from $3.50, 000,-
900 to $300,000,000 of securities
and have seen these securities alb
sorbed and the gold sent to Europe
without any particular fuss. That
in nc
stock market at least few years
ago.
They have seen a tariff enacted
lower than the Wilson tariff, and yet
they have seen raw wool, one of the
best tariff barometers there is, sell
higher than before.
They have seen a delicate railroad
situation that would have created a
financial panic at any time in the
past, studied and pondered over in a
way that has simply taken the breath
from spectators. The people have
refused to become excited over it.
They want it settled everywhere, but
they want it settled right.
Why? Because the railroad indus
try is not the one dominating indus
try of the country any longer Whole
financiers have been Juggling rail
roads the past twenty-five years, bus
mess men have been building up 9TH
er great Industrial enterprises all
over this land.
This is bigger country than it
ever was before. It's potential posi-
bilities are being more and more re-
allied in every direction. The farm
ers have become scientists, and the
arid lands and the swamp lands are
being reclaimed everywhere. and be-
ing made to yield in such abundance
as was never known before in the his

made for the primary election last
June. The expense of that were
doubtless as large, if not larger, than
those of the general election.
There were approximately $4,000
ballots cast in Minnesota on Novem-
Der 8. According to Julius A. Schmahl
secretary of state, there are 3,044 vot-
ing precincts in the state and the av-
erage election cost for each of these
is $50, including the payrolls, rent,
printing and other expenses. This
makes a total of $152, 200 for the tax
payers to meet.
It is difficult to determine the
amount of money spent by the candi-
dates. Numerous estimates have been
made, and these range all the way
from 100000 to 100000. 1t is like
ly that 100000, however, is a con-
sentative figure.
Candidates under the corrupt prac-
tees act are compelled to file expense
accounts. It would be an endless
task to compile all of these as some
are filed with the secretary of state
and others with county auditors and
village and city clerks.
Even those recorded in the office of
Mr.. Schmahl are for the most part
more difficult to analyze than the pro-
verbal Chinese puzzle" because of
the various and sometimes startling
bookkeeping methods adopted by the
individual office seekers.

DURABLE, Simple,
and EFFICIENT
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM PATENTED
BIZ LOCAL MAN is A VERY
PRACTICAL DEVICE
IS INDORSED BY EXPERTS
LONG NEEDED AND WILL SAVE
PUBLIC MANY THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS.

A Sank Centre man, L. A. Meyers
head iineman for the N. w. Telephone
Company in this city, has patented
a practical device that is bound tt
save thousands of dollars to the peo
pie of the United States and Canada
and every country, for that matter
rs soon as the machine comes into
general use.
A satisfactory fire alarm practi-
cal for the use of volunteer depart
Ments has long been needed. Several
Attempts have been made to solve the
matter, but it remained for the Sank
Centre man to invent machine that
will meet with all requirements.
The invention is called the Rotary.

Simplicity, reliability and economy Of
operation are the strong points of the
local mans invention.
Mr.. Meyers spent about A months
working on the Alarm, and was grant
ed letters patent upon it Jan. 13, 1914
However one of the machines had
been installed in the local telephone
office, Sank Centre for months before
the patent was granted. The machine
was long step forward but the in
ventor realized that it was not all
that it should be and in company with
o. H. Tracey of Minneapolis, and we'll
known in Sank Centre, the necessary
improvements were made, and a pat
ent granted Oct. 13, 1914. Mr. Mey-
eys has entered into a contract with
tie Volunteer Fire Signal Co., of Min
neapolis, who will manufacture and
sell the Rotary Alarm exclusively and
ply Mr.. Meyers royalty on every
machine sold.
The system installed in Sank Gem
tire will call sixteen of the firemen at
one time. The new machine notifies
five at time and will call so in SO
seconds. The alarm from the new
Hachine can be turned in by the tele-
phone operator or from any of the
FIRE boxes located about the city. This
Saein can also be attached to gen.
eral gong or gonge and will indicate
in which ward the fire is located, if
desired.

engineers gave the Rotary Alarm a
most rigid inspection and the fact that
they have given permission to install
the machine in connection with their
switchboards in five states is evidence
of its .practicability.

chine was that it was too complicated
and apt to "short circuit" the whoae
system, making it useless until re-
paired. The weakness is very largely
eliminated in the new board. Stats
tics show that IS per cent of the fires
take place at night when the volun-
teer firemen are at home sleeping,
anu the sounding of the main gong is
not frequently heard and the tele-
phone operator calls them in crude
and inefficient manner. The Rotary is
installed in such manner that it does
not interfere with the telephone SER
vice and the telephone bells are used
as alarm bells.
One of the latest improved machines
was demonstrated in Sank Centre re-
Gently and the patentee has signified
willingness to replace the first ma
chine with one Of the improved ones
at cost to the city of $3.50. The
Commercial Club, realizing the bene-
fits to be derived, has recommended
that the very generous offer OF Mr..
Meyers be accepted, as the price ask
ed is much less than one-half of what
the improved system could be sold for.
Experts who have inspected the ma
chine say that it is marvel in SIM
plicity and efficiency and should come
into general use.
Mr.. Meyers is a practical electric
ian of II years standing, and for the
past four years has ben located at
Sank Centre.
In speaking of the Rotary Fire Al
arm Fire Protection, technical Fire
Insurance journal has the following
to say in it's September issue:
Estate Fire Marshalls attending the
ninth annual convention of their as
ISOLATION at Asheville IN. CO. were
much interested in a new rotary fire
alarm for use in connection with tele-
phone systems, exhibited and ex-
planned by o. H. Tracy of Minneapolis.
Mr.. Tracy is a brother of Deputy
State Fire Marshal Tracy of Iowa,
and his device, which is made by the
Volunteer Fireman Signal Company of
of which he is manager,
has been so far approved by the Bell
Company that it has
granted permission for its installation
in Bell exchanges in five states-Min-
nesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa |
and Nebraska. It's construction is |
wholly of standard Western Electric
type, which accounts for it's ready ac-
,eptance by the Bell interests.
"The device is intended for use in
owns with volunteer fire depart
nents, and for hotels, school dormi-
cries, ETC., where it is necessary, in
ime of fire, to arouse a large number
# persons promptly and surely. 1t is
with the telephone switch
,oard, and when utilized for fire de-
'artment alarm the operator, on re-
Giving notice of fire, touches but
on which sets the machinery in mo-
ion. 1t operates only over telephones
onnected with it, and rings these
phones in groups of five, each five
ines. AS soon as the operator sees
hat those called arc at their tele-
homes, the touching of another but !,
on changes the current from the bell
o the talking circuit, and the oper-
tor by speaking the location of the
re notifies each in succession of the
act. If the fireman fails to hear the {
ocation Of the fire on the first round,
e still has four opportunities to hear
!, as the machine also makes five
ounds on the talking circuit"

NOT TO BE CAUGHT MAPPING
Uncle lobe Lived Up to His Reputa-
ton and the Doctor Lost
His Bet. ..

There lives in a certain Vermont
town quaint old character known
as Uncle Tobe," who is so con-
sentative of action and speech that it
is almost difficult at times to get any
thing definite from him. Uncle lobe,
like the Father of His Country, has the
reputation of never having told lie,
and In addition he is so cautious Of
statement that he has never been
known to tell an innocent untruth.
On one occasion his doctor, in con-
versation with friends touching Uncle
Tobe's characteristics, ventured to lay
bet of five dollars that he could cause
Uncle lobe to tell what wasn't SO. A
neighbor promptly took the bet.
The doctor walked into Uncle Tobe's
house next morning, and while he was
talking with the old man, the neighbor
who had taken the bet drove up to the
gate. Uncle lobe went to see what he
wanted, and then the doctor, as he had
agreed to do, went out the back door
and hid in the barn.
Good morning, Tobe," said the Wis
itor, us the doctor in your house,?
He was there ,,hen / came Out"
said Uncle lobe.
