Manager Charles w. Hunter of the
Ocala Gas Company says that the peo-
pie o. Ocala acted most beautifully to
the company during the recent misfor-
tune that befell it. Many of the ma
chinists and others offered their SER
vices to restore the damage as quick
ly as possible, and while some
thought that at least a fortnight
would elapse before the plant would
be in running order, in a little more
than forty-eight hours after the acct
dent happened gas was turned on and
the patrons were enabled to cook their
morning meal on Friday with gas, as
usual. Mr.. Hall, the principal owner
of the stock of the company, wired to
proceed in the erection of a brick or
concrete building so as to avoid in flu
ture, as far as possible, recurrence
of the misfortune.

PRESENCE OF MIND SAVED IA
tai ACCIDENT

Late Friday afternoon very near
serious accident occurred at the rail-
road track on Fort King avenue. Mrs.
7. G. Luckie, driving her car, a man
driving Ford and little girl on 4
wheel started across the track from
opposite directions at almost the
same time. The Ford turned wrong,
causing Mrs. Luckie to have to tlrn
to the left, instead of to the right,
and to avoid hitting the child Mrs.
Luckie ran her car into the telephone
pole at the corner of the Star office,
hitting the pole with such an impact
that the arc lamp was shattered, and
the windshield of the car was brok-
en-. The car hit the rear wheel OF
the little Flannery girls bicycle, and
she was thrown off and badly fright
ened and bruised, but luckily was not
severely hurt. She was picked up by
a physician, and accompanied by Mrs.
Luckie was carried to her home. The
spectators who witnessed the acct
dent state that none of the blame for
the accident was due to Mrs. Luckie,
and she acted with a degree of pres
ence of mind and heroism in risking
her own life to save the little girls.

ELM TREES IN DANGER

Inquiries are frequently COM
ing to the Experiment Station
with reference to the injuries of
the elm leaf beetle on shade trees
about Lexington and elsewhere
in the state. The insect doing
the mischief is European
species imported a good many
years ago to the eastern United
States, and appearing in Ken
lucky about 1893, when it was
noted as especially destructive
at Bardstown, in Nelson county.
It attacks by prefence the
European elm, but when hungry
and European elm tress are not
available sometimes spreads to
the American Elm trees and
may then do them a good deal of
mischief.
The adult of the insect is
small obscurely striped beetle
belonging to the same family of
insects as the common striped
cucumber BEETLE. 1t passes the
winter about buildings, hiding
away in the fall in crevices next
foundations, sometimes coming
through doors and windows and
hiding in dwellings. AS soon as
the leaves of the elms are devel-
oped the following spring, these
beetles resort to the leaves, place
their eggs there and then die.
The young soon appear on the
leaves, which they begin to feed
upon, and if abundant will rem
der the tree unsightly if they
do not actually destroy all Of the
LEAKAGE before they become
grown They are most frequent

LESS WHISKEY;
MORE BEER

Americans drank less whiskey
during the past twelve months
than they did the year before,
but they consumed more beer
and smoked a great many more
cigarettes.
Reports to the internal reve-
nue. commissioner made public
showed that receipts for the ifs
cal year just closed total $780,
o6o less than for the previous
year, and most of this decline
was due to the marked falling
off in tax collected on distilled
spirits. Detailed statements
for the month of June are not
yet available, but for the first
eleven months of the fiscal year
there was decrease of $3,734,857
IN the income from the manu-
facture and sale of distilled liq-
uors, due in part to reduction
in the number of licenses. Es-
timates on the June receipts in
dictated the total decline in dis
titled liquor tax for twelve
months will be $4,25o,ooo.
Receipts of tobacco taxes
show an increase over last year
of $2,8oo,ooo. This gain is due
almost entirely to a phenomenal
increase in the cigarette trade.
The gain in receipts from fer
mented liquor, beer, ale and the
like. was about $86o,ooo..
