The Marion County Board OF
Trade is invited to send representa-
lives to a meeting called by the
Gainesville and Hawthorne boards
of trade in Gainesville June %, to
try and arrange with the A. c. l..
officials for a train from Palatka to
Ocala every morning, returning ev-
cry evening. The said train to con-
meet at Rochelle with No. 10 in the
morning and No. in the evening.
Gainesville and Hawthorne want this
train in order to enable the people
from Eastern Alachua county to
come to Gainesville in the morning
in time to do their trading and go
back home the same day; conven-
fence they now lack. 1t is not nee
<HSsary to argue that such train
would be a great convenience to peo-
pie in Northern Marion county, who
now cannot come to Oca1a and re-
turn the same day except by private
conveyance. The Board of Trade
viii undoubtedly send delegates
and it is to be hoped the meeting
will be able to stir the Coast Line
officials to take the desired action.

COOPERATIVE
DEMONSTRATION WORK


L.
Sorghum may be planted at once
and used as a grain crop to supple
ment corn. This is important to a
number of middle and west Florida
counties where the corn crop Is like
ly to be short unless the drouth Is
broken within the next ten days. The
advisa bility of planting Sorghum
under such conditions will not be
questioned since its feeding value IS
similar to corn, anaIyZing z per cent.
protein and per cent. fat, while
corn analyses about 7.S per cent.
protein and percent fat. The sooner
1t can be planted the better, as the
earlier planted crops have the best
yields, although August 10 is not too
late to insure fairly good crop.
Varieties
A number of varieties have been
used, but the Florida Experiment
Station plant and recommend the
7Gooseneck and Summac because
they have given successful yields
thru a period of five years, and while
other sorghums may be equally as
good these have been found the
most satisfactory and are to be rec
commended.
Planting
Sorghum should not be planted
broadcast at this season, but in rows
four fee apart and thinned to six
inches in the row. 1t is also i'm
portant that cultivation should be
regular as with corn. Unless this is
done, with the on-coming rains in
summer the rains will injure its
growth and the heads will be short.
Cultivation should be frequent from
the start, with the same precaution
as with corn. If the soil is already
fertilized further application is not
necessary, but with the ordinary
soils an application of 500 pounds
| of corn fertilizer is recommended.
If this crop is we'll handled it viii
yield from Is to 80 bushels of seed
per acre and since its feeding value
is almost equal to corn it is prac.i-
cally as good as a corn crop and can
be used for horses, mules, cows,
hogs, and poultry, and since We are
confronted with a short corn crop IN
many counties it would be we'll to
plant sorghum.

OCALA VISITED By
HIGH RAILROAD OFFICIALS

Ocala and adjacent territory was
visited yesterday by some of the
higher officials of the Seaboard sir
Line. Mr.. C. r. Caps, vice pres:-
dent, Mr.. H. NJ. Runyon of New
York, general eastern freight agent.
Mr. r. /. Cheatham of Norfolk, as
sistant freight traffic manager, and
Mr.. c. A. Carpenter of Jacksonville,
assistant general freight agent, ar
rived in Mr.. Caps private car
early in the morning. They stopped
here in answer to an invitation from
the Board of Trade thru Secretary
Rooney. Mr.. Rooney was in the en-
ploy of the Seaboard for a number
of years and won the confidence of
the high officials of the road by his
enterprise and devotion to business,
and they are always ready to listen
to him, and aid if they can, in his
multitudlnous plans for the advance
ment o. Marion county.
Mr.. Rooney took the party in a
part OF the county, Pedro, Summer
field and Levon, and then brought il
back to Ocala and out to Silver
Springs.
One result of the visit will be that
the Seaboard will put on a motor car
to and from Silver Springs in time 20
attend to the tourist traffic for next
season. This car will make close
connection with the Carmichael
boats, and will probably make other
such trips, regular or special, as the
traffic will require. The necessary
arrangements will be made with the
passenger department to route the
Oklawaha on Seaboard tickets, max
ing it an integral part and import
ant link in the tourist chain of every
season. The Seaboard will include
this trip and feature it largely in it's
advertising for next and succeeding
seasons, and it is hardly necessary to
point out what an advantage to the
town and territory this will be.
The officials also looked over the
southwestern part of the county, and
took note of the needs of the farm
ers, timber and turpentine men, and
informed Mr.. Rooney that the said
needs should be attended to.
They had a pleasant day, includ-
| ing visit to Woodmar and other
points on Lake Weir, and left in the
evening, much pleased with what
they saw, and with plans for the
mutual advantage of this section and
their big railroad system.

Build for yourself strong box,
Fashion each part with care;
When it's as strong as your hands
can make it,
Put all your troubles there;
Hide there all thoughts of your
failures
And each bitter cup that you
quaff;
Lock all your heart-aches within it,
Then sit on the lid and laugh.
Tell no one else its,contents,
Never it's secrets share;
When you have dropped in your care
and worry
Keep them forever there;
Hide them from sight so completely
That the world will never dream
half;
Fasten the stronghold securely
Then sit on the lid and laugh.

Up by our windows we had almost

it was the experience of a lifetime

dared not stop staring at the Paris

dreams from which waking could
bring no relief.
Morning came at last, and we ate
our rolls and. coffee, for we were not
sure of another hotel to give us meals
along with a room and no money in

went to the American consulate. The
crowds there were forming into line
to have papers of Identification made
out, so that long stay in Paris, if
necessary, would be safe.
We joined the line Perhaps it was
lack of sleep which made us do it, for
someway now it seems foolish that

COPPER MEASURES
USED CENTURY AGO
Interesting Display in Thomas's Phar-
macy WindoW-Scales Apparently
Pounded Out Oh Anvil

In one Of the windows of the Thom-
as pharmacy is Il display of old cop
per measures. weights and scales that
were used in the United States cen
tury ago. TO anyone interested an eX-
animation Of these antiques is well
worth the time.
The scales were very evidently
pounded out on an anvil, as were the
wet and dry measures OF all sizes.
The accuracy Of the scales and meas
ures is almost unbelievable in these
days of the most sensitive mechanical
devices made under modern conditions.
On the various measures from the
gill to the gallon are stamped the in
itiaIs "P. - - On some Of them are
two sets Of initials, &C NJ" and
- Z. D. Mr.. Thomas is Of the belief
that these were not the initials Of the
makers, but Of sealers of weights and
measures who thus put their stamp Of
approval on the receptacles.
One Of the smaller measures appar-
emily haze not been accurate aud the
bottom had been pounded i'm until. Mr..
Thomas finds upon tests. it exactly
meets the requirements OF the most
accurate modern measure.
The half bushel measure of copper
weighs IS pounds and was pounded out
on an anvil. the hammer marks being
plainly visible. The handles are riv-
eted on and there is not flaw in
the workmanship.
The scales were made in 1914. 100
years ago, while on the bottom of the
half bushei measure Is stamped; Made

MENICO CITY, Oct. 23. - The af-

BALLOONISTF FELL
TO HORRIBLE DEATH
Walter Flexon, who Made Parachute
Drops at Valley Fair, Killed Yes
terday III Fincastle, Va.

Walter FleXou of Gloucester, Y. J..
an aeronaut who made two ascensions
at the annual Valley fair this fall
with triple parachute drops, was kill
ed at FincastIe, Va. yesterday. He
appeared to be unable to loosen his
parachutes and finally lost his hold
on the trapeze and fell 1000 feet to
his death in front of the grandstand
on the grounds Of the Botetourt Coun-
" Fair association. Over $500 per-
sons saw the airnIan fall to his death.
FIexon. when he was in Brattleboro.
said that he had been ID years at the
business OF mai king hot air balloon as
tensions and parachute drops and had
made them in every section of the
United States. He said that he had
suffered some bumps and bruises he
cause Of landing in unsuitable places,
but had never been seriously injured.
He claimed that parachute jumping
was a rough and ready way of earn
ing a living and that there was no
actual danger.
He made his own apparatus, includ-
ING the envelope Of his balloons and
made his own parachutes. These he
always arranged himself, saving that
they were the one essential part of
his equipment and that his life de-
pended upon their working properly.
From accounts of the accident re
ceired here today it would appear
that Flcxon did not strap himself to
his trapese bar as he did in making
the flights in Brattlcboro.
The accounts of the accident saw
that he was seen to bc pulling ut "a
rope for several seconds. then his hold
| fuiled and he began his fall to death
The spectators saw him turn over scv-
| eraI times with his arms claspcd over
his head.
FleXon could have stuck to the trap
eze bar even if his parachutes would
/ not work and could have made land
| ing with the balloon when the cooling
air caused il 10 descend. 1t seems prob
able that in some way he became i'll.
and not being strapped to the trapcze
| bar fell TO terrible death.
