GOOD PROSPECTS FOR THE BOYS
CORN CLUBS

Prof. C. K. McQuarrie, of the agri
cultural department of the State Uni
versity, is making a tour of south
Florida, looking after the farm dem
o~nstration work and the organization
of the Boys Corn Clubs and the Girls
Canning clubs and the Tampa Trib
une reports him as being very much
encouraged with the outlook. The
professor was in Ocala a few days
ago and talked most e~ncouragingly
to us. He thinks that the drought
will prove a great blessing to Florida
farmers in disguise. He says that
where deep blowing was pursued in
the fall and the land was thoroughly
pulverized good corn crops is the re
suit.
Prof. McQuarrie says that addition
al impetus has been given the work
of the Boys Corn Clubs and Girls
Canning Clubs by the action of the
State Bankers Association at its re
cent convention in Lakeland in offer
ing a reward of $50 to the boy making
the best showing and a like reward
to the girl doing the best work. The
bankers appointed an agricultural
Committee consisting of S. j. Harvey,
president of the Citizens Bank OF
Madison; z. C. Chambliss, vice-presi
dent of the Munroe and Chambliss
National Bank of Ocala; T. L. Wilson
president of the Polk County Nation.

Mr.. ROONEY AT PITTsRURG

Secretary Rooney had everything
going his way at the Pittsburg con-
vention.
He succeeded in having the next con-
vention of the Real Estate men-the
nations boomers-meet in Jackson
vile.
His picture occupied a prominent
place in the Pittsburg newspapers as
one of Florida's best known boomers.
The Bell Company at Lynchburg, Va,
sent him ten thousand folders, con-
tanning beautiful pictures of farm life
in Marion county, for distribution.
If there is anything in publicity
in getting ones county mentioned in
a highly attractive manner, then Ma
rion county ought to reap some bene-
fits from the Pittsburg meeting.

THE FLORIDA UNIVERSITY

A Florida boy may prepare for al
most any of the professions at the
State University, advertisement OF
which appears in another column of
this issue. The University of Florida
offers besides the general literary,
classical and scientific courses, excel
lent opportunities for the study of ag-
riculture in all of it's branches, cours
es in civil, electrical, mechanical, mu-
nicipal, railroad and structural engi-
neering, full courses in law, courses
for teachers, etc.
The advantages of associations, and
the opportunities Of forming lastine
friendship, with young men who will
be leaders in public affairs of the
state in future years should not be
overlooked in deciding upon a school.
These advantages together with our
unparalleled winter climate and the
low cost of attendance would seem to
indicate that our Florida boys are
rendered without any excuse for leav-
ing their native commonwealth to at
tend schools of other states.

THE NEW DECLARATION O0F IN,
DEPENDENCE

You graced your editorial page
Tuesday morning with a new Declare
ton of independence in language after
the order of Thomas Jefferson.
But the author of this new declara-
ton failed to observe the wisdom pos
sessed by the great Virginia states
man. He was wise enough to know
that the world to whom he appealed,
would wish to know what the griev-
ances that the colonies complain
ed of, hence he set out a number of
them.
Hhis new declaration fails in this
essential particular.
Men usually do whatever the wo-
men wish; and, / am quite sure that
if they are advised of the wrongs that
they have done they will rectify them.
An amendment of the new d~eclara-
ton is in order. M

FLORIDA PRODUCTS

Statistics compiled from all raj
transportation lines show that, du
ring the three months ending June 80
there was shipped out of Florida the
following:
2,119 carloads of fruit.
800 carloads of lettuce.
1854 carloads of celery.
4,194 carloads Of other vegetables.
210 carloads of strawberries.
2,13S carloads of potatoes.
979 carloads of pineapples.
1857 carloads of watermelons.

A total of 21,004 carloads by rail.
This is equivalent to 525 trainloads

When we add the carloads of manu-

MISS ANNIE PEARL LIDooN AND
REV. EARL G. SHERIDAN
QUIETLY MARRIED

The sly little god of love, Dan Gu
pid. has been playing lots of FRANKS
in Ocala during the past few months,
bringing about quite a number of wed
dings that were complete surprises to
the friends of the young people,
whom Cupid singled out to entangle
with his l~ove-tipped arrows.
No one knew, until just a couple of
hours before the hour set for the
wedding-noon, Monday, July thir
teenth-that Miss Annie Pearl Lid
don, one of Ocala's loveliest young
girls, was to wed, the fortunate groom
being Rev. Earl C. Sheridan, former
Iy of this city. The secret got out,
however, and after it did many of the
friends of the bride telephoned their
good wishes or carried them in per-
son to the young bride before her de-
parture.
The ceremony was quietly perform
ed at twelve o'clock at the brides
home by Rev. Bunyan Stephens, of
the Baptist church. Only the family
of the bride were present to witness
the ceremony. Miss Liddon was mar
ried in her travelling suit of brown,
which was most becoming to her pref
ty fair coloring and red hair.
Mr. Sheridan had been visiting in
Ocala for several days, and ON Sat
urday persuaded his young fiance to
be married at once and return home
with him. For a couple of years Mr..
Sheridan resided here and was an
employee of the H B Masters Com
pany. He left here and went to Stet
o University, and later to Colum-
bia College at Lake City, where he
studied for the Baptist ministry. He
finished his course last summer, and
for nearly a year has had charge of
the Baptist church at Apalachicola.
Rev. and Mrs. Sheridan left over
the limited Monday afternoon for
Jacksonville and other places for a
short visit, after which they will go.

Mrs. Sheridan is the third daughter
OF Mr.. G. T. Liddon. She has been
reared in this city, and as a lovely
young girl, and popular with a large
circle of friends, who wish for her
very great happiness in her married
life and in her new home.

THE SECRET OF TABLE DECORATIONS

Try to remember that the real
secret of table decoration is just to let
the flowers arrange themselves.
This means you must find the right
shape of vase for each kind of bios
som, so that when the flowers are put
into it they will fall easily and nat
urally into the perfection of graceful
content This quite does away with
the need for much handling of deli
cate blooms, and the less they are
handled the longer your flowers will
last.
The first thing to consider is how
your flowers would grow in their nat
ural state, and then to choose a vase
in which they shall appear as much
"at home" as possible
When you go shopping to buy new
vases for your flowers, don't be
tricked by artistic colors and designs
into buying those with narrow necks.
They are all very we'll as ornaments,
but it's cruelty to flowers if you
use them for your table decorations.
Flower vases are intended first of
all to hold plenty of water and to
give the flowers an opportunity of
absorbing it. So it is very safe rule
nj choosing them to insist that the
neck must be nearly as wide as the
base.
A tall, thin crystal vase, long and
straight, and of the purest simplicity
in design, will be useful all the year
round, either for branches of flower
ing trees such as lilac or laburnum,
no for long-stalked flowers like chry-
santhemums, lilies or carnations.

For the Housewives Scrapbook

A good way of keeping butter sweet
in the warm weather is to put it IN
brine. This will keep it from turning
rancid, and it sometimes improves
the quality
Take jar, pour in some water and
add salt until a brine is formed
strong enough to float a potato. Put
the butter in this jar, cover and keep
in a cool place.
To remove the strong odor left by
handling onions, fish, etc, when pre-
pairing a meal, wash the hands with
a teaspoonful of dry mustard.
Rub this in as if it were soap and
the odors will disappear.
Rub petroleum ointment over the
strings of a tennis racket to keep
them from breaking when it is put
away.
A delicious summer drink for those
who do not mind the sour taste in
turned milk is made of sour milk that
about five minutes with an egg
heater.
A little curry powder added to
warmed-over soups or stews will
make new dish of them.
Are you bothered by having the
tips of shoe lacings come off?
The next time this happens twist
the ends of the lace and dip them

When they dry they will be as good
