THE coLoEED EXCURSION CT: La
Dor DAY

From Tuesdays Daily:
The colored excursion advertised
for Monday and today is not as large
as was anticipated, owing no doubt
to the lack of the "wherewithal' on
the part of this class of our ropula-
ton, so many of them now being tenn
porarily out of employment.
Roundly stated, there are. perhaps,
as many as one thousand excursion
lists in the city and it affords us pleas
ureto say thta they are conducting
themselves with great moderation
and apparently are enjoying them
selves very much.
The object of the excursion is for
the dedication Of the new colored
hospital. Part of the program was
performed yesterday and the balance
will be concluded today
The scheme has the endorsement of
all the white physicians in the city.
and a large number of our more pro-
ers to the fund.
Marion county has now two good
hospitals, one for whites, the other
for blacks, and together they contrib
ute very largely to our humanity and
we'll being.
Patients are brought to Ocala from
long distances for treatment and they
find here as fine physicians and equip.
ment as in any of the larger cities.
and the same is giving Ocala dis?
tinctive reputation.
We congratulate our colored citi-
zens on their achievement and are
glad that their dedication ceremonies
are proving SO successful.
In the way of progress they stand
for In advance of their race in many
towns similar in size to Ocaia.
The program includes a big parade
and number of speeches by promi.
nent white and colored citizens.

ocALA's AGE

Ocala was officially made known to
the world on February 81, 1916. Had
it been put off one day longer she
could have had her annual celebration
with the Father of His Country" 1t
was on February, 21st, however, that
the board of county commissioners
passed a resolution directing the
clerk of the board to officially notify
the postmaster general that the coun
ty site of the new county of Marion,
which was carved from a part of
Alachua, had been selected, and the
been given it.
Capt. e. d. Howse, Samuel Quartle-
baum and John G. Reardon were the
names of the commissioners appoint
ed to select the site. The commits
sioners were John M. Mcintosh,
Thomas Barnes, S. F. Halliday and
Abraham Geiger.
The Moodys are grandchildren of
Capt. E. d. Howse, the late Hon. John
G. Reardon was son of the John G.
Reardon, who was one of the early
commissioners, Mr.. Thomas B.
Barnes, night foreman of the Ocala
Banner, is a grandson of County Com
missioner Barnes and the Geigers are
still numerous in the county.
After landing at Point Pinellas,
near Tampa, DeSoto, in his travels,
says that after marching northward
about one hundred miles, he reached
a big hammock and tribe of In
dams, the name of whose chief was
"Ocala," meaning in the Indian ton
que, ''fat man." or "fat land" DeSoto
was Hospitality entertained by him.
So the commissioners very properly
and appropriately christened the new
town in commemoration of this In
dian chieftain.
The hammock, or the greater part
of it, still remains, and Ocala and it's
environments are destined some day
to become known as it was in Desc
to's time as the fiat land
Let us all pull to that end.
A bond issue just now will go a long
way in that direction.

ACTIVITIES AT MARTIN AND ~
BET

Mr.. w. NJ. Martin of the Martin
Crate Company at Martin was in Zu-
Der one evening this week and says
he is going to try to run his mill all he
can and also has a good many cattle
to handle this summer, so he will
give a good many men work most all

very much. as work is pretty scarce
and every business helps.
The Florida Lime Company is still
running half capacity. which is a big
help to the laboring people of this
community, as well as to the owners.

close down for awhile. but all are
glad to learn that their hustling man.

Sammy screwed up his face and re

bible, "Jesus wept."
Now, Rastus," the teacher went on
turning to the next youngster, what
verse Of the bible can you give?"
Rastus squirmed as II he had been

predecessor had stolen his thunder.
But a quick decision must be made.
He rose to the occasion. Fate had

4 INGLIS PARK?

Another step in the plan of the
play ground commission to give the
entire city play grounds was taken
last night in the opening of the new
play ground at the corner of Catherine
and Forsyth streets, for the children
of the third ward. About 500 people
were present for the occasion, and
much satisfaction was felt, especially
by Councilman John B. Callahan. who
has been working for this play ground
for some time, and by Capt. c. IT.
Macdonald, whose belief in, public
recreation makes every step taken in
the spreading out of play ground OPP
erations unusually satisfactory.
A suggestion has been received that
the new play ground be called Inglis

AMERICAN ARMY WELL sHoD

The great general staff of Germany
has slipped cog in its minote prep
arations for the present conflict. The
kaiser's foot soldiers are paying the
price for the oversight, and thousands
of them have limped to the front
and suffered crucial handicap at the
moment of combat. Their hobnailed
boots have stood we'll the rigors of
the mark, but alas, the feet within
have suffered woefully. 1t costs
tidy sum to shoe standing army in
times of peace, and it costs great
deal more to provide footgear for an
tmry when war is rife. Our war with
Spain brought home to us the foot
wear of our soldiers. The matter be-
came one for investigation, and ex-
perts have spent four years in study
ing scientifically foot needs of the
army. They have evolved suitable
shoe, which permits the free expan-
sion and contraction of the important
muscles of the foot and ankle, and
which gives absolute support to the
longitudinal and transverse arches.
Another departure from the usual
manner in which shoes are purchased
is made by the soldier buyer. He
stands on bare feet, with a 40-pound
burden upon his back, bearing the en-
tire weight upon the foot to be meas
ured. The forty pounds represents the
field equipment of the infantrymen.
In this fashion the needs of each foot
is determined, and the shoe given the
man is just so much larger that the
measurments obtained in this way.
AS a proof the old and the new foot
gear were tried out simultaneously
on a nine days march, and while a
very big percentage of those wearing
the old style footwear were compelled
to quit on account of shoe trouble,
the men equipped with the new shoe
finished the hike easily.

ENGLAND EXPECTS EVERY MAN
TO DO HIS DUTY

Englishmen living in Florida have
issued an appeal to Men of British
Birth" to lend their aid and sympathy
to- the mother country in this, her
hour of trial.
This will be done more readily be-
cause there is in the United States a
concensus of opinion that England
has been forced into this unfortunate
war against her will, and in the face
of her remonstrances to prevent it.
The appeal reads as follows:
To Men of British Birth Living in
Florida
September 2, 1914.
If ever there was a time when ev
eryone of British birth ought to help
his own country, that time is now. We
British in Florida-some of us now
American citizens-cannot DO much
Let us remember our less fortunate
kinsman and do all that we can.
The Prince of Wales fund has been
formed to alleviate distress in Great
Britain and Ireland. and the Duke of
Connaught has formed a similar fund
in Canada to help sufferers there.
There are also cases of acute distress,
directly traceable to the war, amongst
some of the British now in Florida,
and these must also be helped.
1t is the duty of everyone of British
birth to send his mite to alleviate
some of this wide spread distress, and
it is suggested that each subscribe so
much per week so long as this war
lasts. This will not be heavy bur-
den, and will probably bring in a larg
er total than would be got by sending
in larger sums at uncertain dates.
The society of British women
known as the Queen Mary Chapter of
the Daughters of the Empire, has al
ready sent two remittances to Lon
don, and expects to soon send another.
Money intended to be sent through
this channel can be sent to Mrs. Mont
gomery Corse, No. 4O1 East Monroe
Street, Jacksonville.
The Britannia Club of Jacksonville
has also organized relief fund with
weekly payments. Anyone wishing
his subscription to be sent through
this club must send it to Mr.. John
Othen, care of the Metropolis, Jack
sonville.
If more convenient YOU can pay it
TO Collier Bros. Ocala, and they will
send it to one of the headquarters in
Jacksonville.
Those desiring their subscriptions.
to go to French and Belgian funds,
can send them to Prof. H. Vernaelde,
care of Mr.. William Moore Angas, No.
315 West Forsyth ST., Jacksonville,
and they will be forwarded to the
French committee in New York.
Any donor who specially wishes his
SUBSCRIPTION 10 go TO the Duke of Con-
naught fund, must please state this
when paying it; otherwise the money
will be sent to the Prince of Wales
fund. except such as may be absolute
ly needed to help war sufferers here.
