THE OCKI1AWAHi TRIP

One Of the famous chapters in
American travel is the Oklawaha
trip. It's not so celebrated, perhaps,
as voyage down the Rhine, but it
is more accessible to a majority Of
the American people, and all should
take it, because on it they can see
many things they cannot see on the
Rhine, and besides they will keep
the money at home.
There are two ways of taking the
Ocklawaha trip. That longest used
is the one on one of the odd looking
steamers that have padded up and
down the river ever since the tour
lists discovered the route. Rather
slow, but comfortable and pictur-
esque-just the thing for tired peo-
pie taking a rest, or artists or poets
who luxuriate in having the dreamy
beauty of the river soaked in
TO their souls Many of America S
most famous men and women and
not a few from foreign countries
have taken this voyage, and most Of
them have recorded it as one Of the
most memorable and Weirdly beau
tiful chapters in the holiday history
of their lives.
With all its attraction, however,
there is a deliberation about this
method of taking the trip that
doesn't appeal to the average Ameri-
can, who between having his sensa-
tions dreamed or shot into him with
gun, generally prefers the sooner
method. A happy medium was dis
covered when Frank Mathews, the
boat builder, and Ed. Carmichael
the capitalist, put their heads to-
gether and evolved the packet-boat
City Of Ocala.
Frank Mathews is an artistic
draws bewitching music from his
cornet-and he draws plans fol-
boats that are dreams to look at anC
efficient realities in speed and safe
ty He designed the City Of Ocals
and she grew into swift and hand
some boat in a Marion county shiI
yard.
Ed" Carmichae's front name il
lColumbus-he did not discovs
America, but he has discovered sew
eral ways OF improving this part o
America, and the delightful trip OIL
the Ock1awaha is one of them.
In all the years the editor Of tn
Star has dwelt in Ocala he has nev
GER made the Ocklawaha trip, an
considering it one of his numerou
sins OF omission, he decided to max

ARMOUR WEALTH
RESCUES CHICAGO
BOARD OF TRADE
FROM BAD PANIC
Millions Take Wheat
Obligations to Amt
of 100000 Blu.

Chicago, July 31.--Armour's millions
today rescued the wheat trade from
panic.
Instead of chaos resulting from a
settlement day in the midst of war
market with possibly scores of firms
embarrassed and a virtual certainty
that bankruptcies would ensue, the
Chicago Board of Trade was enabled
to maintain its record of never hav-
ing closed no matter how great the
emergency.
Tonight not single failure had
taken place. The chief reason was that
rs entangled firms and individuals on
Change were freely given today by
Armour & Co., whatever aid the neces-
stiles of the situation required.
President George e. Marcy of the
Armour Grain Co. was the man who
rose to the occasion. He quietly cir
culated word on the floor of the board,
partly in person and partly through
his lieutenants, that any member In
trouble need only come to him. Be-
fore nightfali Armour & Co. had taken
over 100000 bushels, which, If not
transferred, were critically in danger
of not being safely settled in due con-
tract time on the expiration of busi-
ness hours at the end of the month.

interest from investments. The financial
district was crowded today by country
squires, retired gentlemen and people of
that kind who rushed in from the outly-
ing territory to ascertain whether their
sacred incomes were endangered. All
were cheerful and had the consolation
that their friends were in the same box.
High Prices Of Food
The wholesale prices of food have in
creased by leaps and bounds but the re-
tail dealers have not yet raised prices,
with the exception of the bakers in the
provincial cities, who have added q per
cent. to the price OF bread.
The peace movement finds expressions
tonight in pronouncements by Oxford and
Cambridge professors, who describe the
debt the world owes to German scholar
ships, saying:
IF by reason of honorable obligations
we should be unhappily involved in war,
patriotism might still our mouths, but
we consider ourselves justified in protest
ing against being drawn into struggle
with a nation so akin to our own"
General Bramwell Booth, head of the
Salvation Army, has ASKED for the pray
ers of the Salvation Army throughout the
world to save the nations from war.

CANCEL SAILING OF
STEAMER IMPERATOR

London, July 31.-The Hamburg.
American Steamship Co. announces
that the sailing of the steamer Imper-
ator from Hamburg today has been
cancelled.
The Hamburg-American company
sent notices to the 500 first-cla pas
sengers waiting here for the Impera-
tor that the company had been CON-
PEELED to postpone the sailing of the
vessel owing to the clouded political
situation.
The passengers, of whom about Sc
per cent. are Americans returning
from European trips, have been left
by the company to make their own
arrangements. The company, how
ever, says the moment the situation
clears up the 1mperator will sail for
New York and the passengers will be
given due notice of the date of her
departure.
Among those who had booked on
the lmperator was Thomas Nelson
Page, the United States ambassador
at Rome, who was returning to Amer
lea for a vacation.

new SYSTEM OF HANDICAP IS
TRIED AT THE GRAND CIRCUIT-THE
VETERAN DRIVER CEERS IS WINNER

Detroit. Mich. July 3L-A new sys-
tenn Of handicapping was tried today
Tor the first time in the free for all
trot, the last event of the week of
Grand Circuit racing at the State Fair
grounds.
Beginning at the first turn, chalk
ed lines were laid down the track as
far as the quarter mile post. In the
scoring Tor each heat, the four start
ers were given positions off the pole
according to their last years records,
and each horse had to keep in its own
lane until the chalk marks ended
This arrangement forced Dude Arch
dale on the outside, to travel about so
yards further than Robert Milroi on
the pole, and Anvil about 80 yards
further, to complete the mile. Bon
o'clock was in second position.
With this big advantage, Robert
Mllroi and Bon O'clock took big lead
IN each heat. Anvil won the race, talk
Ing first and third heats, after long
chase. In the second Geers' horse
broke badly at the start and Robert
Milroi LED all the way by a dozen
lengths. hTe handicap was too great
for Dude Archdale and she never got
near the other contenders.
The 2.o7 pace furnished great con-
Test, Fay Richmond winning after
seven hard fought heats.
