COUNTY CANNING CLUBS
Government Giving Its Cordial Aid
and Cooperation

At the last meeting OF the board
OF public instruction it was decided
to cooperate with the government
experimental station at Gainesville
in the matter Of having the work of
the county canning clubs woven into
the public schools of the county.
Mrs. ]. r. Moorhead, who has been
so successfully carrying on this work
for the past two seasons in Marion
county, has been appointed by the
agricultural department as county
agent for the 1914-15 season.
The appropriation made by the
government for this work is conting-
ent upon the expenditure by. the
various counties of an amount equal
TO that allowed by the department.
The amount at present allowed for
the salary of an agent for this coun-
ty by the government is only $50
permonth for ten months in the year
A like amount was appropriated at
the meeting several days ago by the
board, thus giving the agent salary
of $50 per month for the ten work
ing months. There is no provision for
expenses of the agent, which at pres
emit means quite good deal, as it is
necessary to make visits all over the
country and give demonstrations i'm
canning and lectures at the schools.
1t is the intention of the departm
to ask the board of county commits
sioners, board of trade or other pub
Tic body to supplement the above
amounts with SIS per month for ten
months to defray a portion of the
expense.
The work this year will be done
Under the supervision of the board
of public instruction, and Mrs Moor
head is quite certain that this years
results will be such as TO justify a
larger appropriation for the canning
proposition another year.

WRECK ON ocALA NORTHERN


The mixed passenger and freight
train of the Ocala Northern railroad
was wrecked yesterday at II o'clock,
between Burbank and Daisy. The
train was running probably 80 miles
an hour when a freight car ahead of
the passenger coaches dropped a
brake beam, which began to tear up
crossties and play havoc generally.
Before the train came to a stand
still, two freight cars and two pas
senger coaches were off the rails,
turned over and more or less dam
aged. Strange to say, although
there were about twenty passengers
and members of the crew together in
the two coaches, none of them were
injured to, any extent Acting Con-
ductor J. D. Mcdonald and the bag
gage master were slightly bruised
and the passengers were only shak-

GOOD TIME FOR

JUSTICE, NOT WAR.

Ever since the Mexican trouble has loomed up as a menace to the peace and tranquility of that republic and as the cause of much uneasiness on the part of this country the need of making those people adjust their own difficulties, and restraining itself from becoming involved in war with Mex ico has been recognized by this coun- try This is because it is all too well understood just what it would mean to send an army into that country for war. It is known what war meant sixteen years ago when Spain was the unruly nation and it is well to con- slider the sacrifice of American lives which would be involved by the declar ation of war against Mexico.
 Happily war is not the point in- volved at the present time, however much it may seem likely to result The president was careful to point out that what he is seeking is justice, not war and is asking for the justification of his plan to use the army and navy in the upholding of the honor and dignity of the nation- Whether this can be done by the proposed blockading of the Mex lcan ports without involving more se- rious consequences is the vital point in question It is the belief of the president that it can by firm and prompt action, not against Mexico, but against Huerta. It is a delicate prob lem to accomplish one without involv- ing the other, but there is no question that the president has wisely judged the pulse of the people when he con- siders them opposed to the making of war against Mexico though they de- sire to see Huerta brought to his knees.
