the idea being the sailing away OF
the old year and the sailing in of the

"couNTsss OLGA" A GEORGIA
GIRL

Nearly everybody in Ocala is famil-
lar with the beautiful Countess Oh
ga" who appears at the Temple the
alter every Tuesday night in The Mil
lion Dollar Mystery. While the count.
ess is the "villainess" of the mystery,
and everyone who is following this
thrilling story dislikes her very heart
lily in the play, all admit her beauty
and her splendid histrionic ability.
Countess Olga is, in real life, Mar
garet Snow of Savannah, Ca, and
she is a very beautiful young girl
Miss Snow says that the scheming
of Olga is really dreadful to her, and
that she will be glad when she gets
back to playing Peggy" parts, which
are more natural to her. She says
that Peggy" is what her close friends
call her, but that her Olga part has
caused quite an estrangement, but
that "Zudora" is going to win them
back again.
Miss Snow has been cast for the
part of Zudora, another very thrilling
and wonderful series along entirely
different lines, that will be shown
some time in the future at the Tenn
pie theater. Jim Norton Games
Cruze) of the mystery, will be the he
70 of Zudora.
Miss Snow played the part Of the
beautiful wife of Potiphar lin photo
play, and is known to many in that
role.
She is a daughter of Billy Snow, a
former minstrel man, and since she
was fourteen she has been acting on
the real stage and the motion picture
stage.
Miss Snow, in an interview in the
December Cosmopolitan, says: II did
not fall naturally into the photo-play
business. l had to be pushed. Like
many others who are living happily
in the film-world today, I thought
five years ago, that 1t was the proper
thing to sniff at the movies. But Il
was a choice between that and be
coming an artists model, and 1 knew
I'd rather be motion picture actress
than a painters still life. Never foi
a moment have regretted my decis
ion. Why, there is more doing, dra
matically, in one week here than in a
whole season with the average theat
rical company"

Mr.. BRYAN AND PROHIBITION

Mr.. ]. ]. McMillon, writing about
Mr.. Bryan and his recent utterance
on prohibition says that prohibition
is no new fad or recently discovered
toy with. Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. McMillon
says that our secretary of state has
been prohibitionist and temperance
worker from his youth up. Have the
people so soon forgotten that when
Mr.. Bryan went on journey around
the world and met all the great men
of the earth he refused to drink even
with Kings and Emperors, and they
had respect for him, and not ridicule
such as he receives from his enemies
at home?
A great temperance wave is sweep
ing over the world from America to
Russia AID no power on earth can
stop it. So Bryan's critics had better
get on the water-wagon in time for
the obsequies over King alcohol.

WOMEN cHAUFFEURS

Girls, what would you rather do:
Bang a typewriter, stand behind a
counter, push a baby carriage or run
an automobile and Joy ride to your
hearts desire? You can have your
choice. The time has actually come
when the president of a large auto
mobile company is going to make a
nationwide canvass of all the wo
mems organizations to find capable
women to act as assistant sales
agents in other words, demonstrators
of his company's car. This seems to
be a genuine business move on the
part of the company. The president
believes that women will be a sue.
cess in the automobile business, and
particularly in demonstrating and
selling cars. And what is most inn
portant from the woman's point OF
view in this venture, is that the com.
pany, recognizing the spirit of the
times, proposes to pay these women
demonstrators exactly what men in
similar positions now receive.
AS a rule the young men who are
entrusted with cars have not made
good. They soon become wild and
reckless.

In our yesterdays paper we print
ed letter from California giving out
the information that covering a sur
face of two hundred miles silk was
rained down, apparently from the
heavens. If it all had been gathered
the correspondent said that there
would have been enough to have
made a silk dress for every woman in
the Golden State. Yet, from the same
city, now comes the following: "The
poor of the city are actually starving
in the midst of plenty. That is nc
mere piffle. 1t is backed by facts
The Record has investigated and
knows whereof it speaks. There are
not only a few cases; there are
many" And, further: Last week
workers for the housing commission
went before the city council and told
story that wrung the hearts Of
many. Actual cases of fearful want
were cited. Mothers are unable to
supply their little babies with the
bare necessitiese of life."

After thirty-three years of solitary
confinement in the Charlestown state
prison of Massachusetts, Jesse Pom
eroy was allowed to attend chapel
services. He seemed greatly inter
ested in everything and everybody
He watched the preacher, the prison
ers and the many officials. After the
services he filed out behind the other
prisoners. He was taken to his cell
where he had dinner. Sometimes we
feel very tired and feel like we would
enjoy long rest, but we believe that
We had rather be tired all the time
than to be subjected to a rest like
that. The Florida prisoners who
have the privilege of the sunshine
and fresh air are no doubt envied by
prisoners like Pomeroy.

BOARD or TRADE LISTENS TO
FINE ADDRESS

Mr.. C. A. Maull, connected with
the advertising department of the AT
lantic Coast Line, made a most inter-
esting and illuminating talk at the
board of trade rooms last week.
His address was along the lines OF
the best methods to be pursued to
attract producers to Florida.
Mr.. Maull is a gifted and delight
full talker, and 1t is matter of regret
that more were not out to hear his
remarks, because they were COMPEL
ing and instructive.
Mr.. Maull has been connected with
the advertising departments of some
OF the largest railroads of the coun
try. and has been an extensive travel
er, SO has gained wonderful fund oil
information.
He said that Notwithstanding the
soil of Florida was light and porous
as compared with some other sec
lions of the country, he was firmly
convinced that in the course of TWEEN
fy-five or thirty years the lands here
would command higher price than
in any other section of the United
States.
He based this belief on our geo
graphic location and climatic condi
tons.
To make these lands valuable he
said they had to be cultivated along
lines of modern and economic meth
DDS, and gave Illuminating examples
OF the application of those methods.
He said, for instance, twenty-five
years ago the farmers of the little
state of Delaware were bankrupts.
Today they are prosperous. That they
were prosperous because they chang
ed the methods of cultivation. To
day he said that Delaware furnished
One-tenth of all the canned goods con
sumed in the United States, and the
yield of corn had increased from eigh
teen bushels of corn per acre to more
than one hundred, and that the yield
OF all other crops had increased in
the same proportion.
He said that the soil of Delaware
was not unlike the soil of Florida, and
that with the application of intelli
gent, scientific methods, with her ad
vantage of climate, would increase
her yield even more abundantly than
Delaware had done.
We are sorry that our time and
space prevent us from giving a great
er review of his speech, but we shall
avail ourselves of this pleasure at an
other time, as his talk was full Of
meaty matter and compelled the at
tention of those who heard him, be
cause he was a many-sided and most
attractive speaker.

as he fired the shot. The body fell
into Miss Lyons lap, and then rolled
into the bottom of the buggy. The
young lady took the ines and turn
ing around rushed to the Motfitt
ranch for help. Upon her arrival II

forced through the woman's actions
to take her children from her and
place them in the Orphans Home.
When the money became due. the
authorities took the matter up and
had a guardian appointed for her.
The guardian refused to turn the
money over to her to be wasted In

she is indignant and will not return

the present time she is in Jail and 1t

the actual robbing are the ones who
have not been caught. They also
state that the proprietor of the place
A. Puccinelli. was standing watch

protested to him, he did not try to
stop it. Furthermore. they state
that Puccinellli's wife ran in and
struck the boy with a broom while
he was down on the floor.

FALLON's FACTORY BENEFITS
FROM RISE CAUSED BY WAR

Because Germany, Austria n
Russia, all beet sugar producing
countries, are ~pummeling each other
the market manipulators have raised
the price of sugar to unheard OF
figures, says the Churchill County
Standard. Reaching the lowest ebb
in the history of sugar on March
18th, when the quotation was $3.85
per cwt., 1t had advanced by August
4th to $3.50, on which date it raised
20 points. 1t continued by sharp adj
vances until it is now quoted at
$3.50, which mark was reached on
August 14th. On August 18th sugar
advanced rs points and again on
August 18th it advanced 70 points.
1t now seems certain that $40 per
cwt. will be reached within the near
future.
AS a result of the increased sell
ing figure the Fallon factory receiv-
ership is on a sound basis, and every
cent of Indebtedness, represented by
receivers certificates and other
forms of debts will be liquidated, in
GLIDING accrued interest. There is a
total of 1925 bags of sugar unsold,
of which 1877 bags are in the local
warehouse, while 5,S49 bags are
stored in Reno.
1t now seems certain that an at
tempt will be made to operate the
Fallon plant during next season.
Enough beet seed is on hand to plant
1000 acres of land. aud though fiat
tering offers have been received from
distant factory owners bidding for
the local supply. all overtures have
been rejected. The seed on hand is
now one of the most yaluble of the
Nevada Sugar Company assets.
