There is one proposition which
will receive special consideration by
the committee this afternoon, being
that of the Mile Laos timber deal,
in which an endeavor is being made
to arrive at some settlement between
the Indians and the government. This
case involves the cutting Of timber
from Indian land about forty years
ago, and for which the Chippewas
have never been paid. The matter
was taken up with the court of claims
and it was decided that the Indians
were entitled to $S5O,00O for the tim
ber Then came an order calling for
a readjustment
At the completion of the readjust-
ment it was shown that the Indians
were entitled to money on but 49,
100000 feet, while the Indians claim
the figures should be 35O,O00,O00.
The Chippewas are going to fight for
the 100000 which they believe to
be rightfully theirs and will not ac-
cept the $4,000 which the new set
Element might bring At the meet
ing Of the council committee a board
of land examiners will be named and
they will work with officials of the
government, when new scale, which
has been ordered, is taken. 2"

SHOULD BE THANKFUL
FOR PROSPERITY.

Peace and prosperity that
reign in America make it spe-
cially fitting that the people
of Minnesota should offer up
a more than ordinary gr :,
full prayer on Thanksg s<<
day, November rs, says u "e
ernor Eberhart in his procla:#
nation. The proclamation
says:
1T is especially fitting that
the American nation should
offer up a more than ordin-
airy grateful prayer of thanks
giving and praise. While
war and carnage reign in 9TH
er portions of the world,
America is at peace. Pros
perity, which always accom-
panies peace, dwells among
us. The soil is producing more
than usual abundance. Our
people are content, and our
confidence in the future I'M
shaken"

London, Nov. 20.-Germany's new
attack in the center Of the Eastern
battle line stood out conspicuously as
of chief immediate importance in the
European war. The sudden assault of
the Germans in Russian Poland, from
which territory they were described
recently as being driven in disorder,
has lent new aspect to this cam
paign. :...
Russian military officials admit a
reverse in this territory and Berlin is
celebrating great victory, but the
meagerness of authentic information
from the front makes it impossible to
determine the extent or Importance Of
the German successes. The Russian
official statement with reference to
the positions Of the German troops in
Poland seems to Indicate there is no
iNmnGiatC prospect OF German in
vGuion by The Russian army which a
is% avs ago Was nearing the from

Russians assert they are closing in on
CracOW, Cali ia, in an attempt to
crush the Austrians. The latest adj
vices from Vienna, however, say the
Austrians have moved out Of CracoW
captured the first Russian fortified
line and taken 500 priso.sas-ss,- .sft.a two
machine gun detachments.
Inferno of Shot and Shell.
Refugees from Belgium say that
West Flanders, which virtually is an
island cut off from the rest of the
world, continues to be the scene of
incessant military operations. They
speak of an inferno of shot and shell
and devastation, with continuous can
nonading and endless professions of
wounded. British troops and French
sailors are reported to have captured
Schoorbakke, Belgium, a town prac.
t1cally surrounded by water from the
broken dykes.
Owing to the inundation of much
of the country between the seacoast
and the River Lys no infantry attacks
occurred in this region, according to
the French official statement.

that the German troops have now ad-

The Vote Larger.

One of the surprising features of
the election is the fact that larger
vote was cast in the county this year
than two years ago. The vote in
1912 totaled S,O19, and this year.
$3.50, an increase Of 361 votes. It
had been expected that the vote this
year would be smaller because Of UNI
favorable weather conditions.

MUST IMPROVE THEIR METHODS

Ocklawaha, Fla, Feb. "a, 1914
Editor Star: The world general
Iy stands pat until compelled to move
on. That is especially true Of the
farmers. Their marketing methods
are relics from the long ago. They
have stood pat for more than a hun
dred years and would still be stand
ing pat, but for the uproar in the
cities when people object to paying
100 per cent more for farm produce
than the farmers get for it. In iso-
lated instances they are beginning to
move and in "a few years the move
ment may become universal. One
farmer and small store keeper near
my former home, Montreal, Canada,
made a big success last year by a CO.
operative market system, whereby
the farmers got more for their pro-
ducts and the city consumer pur-
chased them for less.
There has been an arrangement
made in Philadelphia, whereby the
III di Oiics III Ao-opCl alum
with the farmers. is bringing to the
city farm products avoiding the
great waste and expenditure caused
by handling them many times and
adding to the cost of handling and
| the middle-man's profits each time
they changed hands before the con-
sumner got them.
The socialist points with good
| deal of scorn to the many milk and
grocery wagons travelling over the
same route and says the waste can
only be stopped by common owner
ship, but there is arising another So
luton. 1t is cooperative buying and
marketing. If all the milk producers
who send milk to Jacksonville, or
| Tampa or Ocala could cooperate in
the delivery by one organization, all
that duplication could be eliminated
and yet each man own his own dairy
and manage his own business.
Things seem to be starting that way
in Atlanta. But when the stand-pat-
ter has stood still for hundred
years it is a pretty difficult thing to
get him started.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NEWS

Mrs Maud NJ Little, the W. c. T.
u. reporter for the Ocala Star, has
been a personal friend of the c. z.
secretary for good many years.
We are to have Saturday evening
for Christian Citizenship in Gaines
vile convention, and Mr.. Chris.
Matheson, mayor of the convention
city, will deliver the principle ad-
dress, subject, The Christian and
the Saloon" Rev. G. V. Albertson,
of DeLand, state Christian citizen
ship superintendent, will be in
charge of the session. Another helper
that evening will be Mr.. Leo E. Pet
tyjohn, of Jacksonville, district lead
er for northeastern division of c. E.
work. 1t is expected that this will
be the best temperance session ever
held in one of our state conventions.
Rev. C. w. Crooke, state Anit-Saloon
League superintendent, was to have
been present but his itinerary is in
South Florida that week. The local
w. c. T. U. of Gainesville will be
honored guests when the Endeavor-
ers hold this special temperance ses-
sion.
Splendid news it was, that We will
have the pleasure of hearing Mr.. w.
r. Newell at convention, who comes
to us from the Winter Bible School
of Leesburg. of which he is principal.
Mr.. Newell is a famous Bible teacher
and evangelist, better known in Chic
ago, Canada and other parts of this
country than in the South, of which
he has been a citizen part of each
year, while. Don't forget that if
you miss the convention you will
miss Mr. Newell's address and many
other good things We will hear there.
For Sunday, March LIST, the sub
ject is Twelve Great Verses. The
love verse, John 4:16. In these
days when there is so much of the
opposite from love shown in actions
words and printers ink, such a topic
ought to do good. This is the verse:
And We have known and believed
the love that God hath to us. God is
love: and he that dwelleth in God
and God in him.

WILL ENCOURAGE
MILK AND CREAM SHIPMENTS

Times Union: March l the Sea-
board Air Line railway expects to
put into effect a dairy-products tariff
rate, for the purpose of encouraging
the shipment of milk and cream to
Jacksonville and Tampa, from the
farm sections Of the state.
Agricultural Agent A. P. FAINT
states that there have already been
promised $50 gallons daily from Tai
lahassee to Jacksonville, and that
the farmers all along the lines of the
Seaboard have been interested in the
new plan, and have promised to turn
their attention more largely to the
production of milk for market.
Under the new proposed milk and
cream rates, dairymen can ship, at
a profit, their milk and cream to any
town or city furnishing the market;
and schedules will be so looked into
that shippers can send to Jackson
get back the empty cans that night.
The tariff proposed to be put into
effect will cover, in the one charge,
| both the shipment of milk or cream
and the return of the empty cans.
Studied Needs of City
Mr.. FAINT states that his company
has made a study of the needs Of this
city especially, and has found that
many gallons of milk are being
daily shipped here from Georgia,
| Tennessee and from as far north as
New York. He has sounded out the
| farmers along the lines of his road
and finds they are only waiting to be
| shown a market which can be reach
| ed, at a freight rate that will allow
them a profit, and a schedule they
can count on for delivery, to go in
to the business in a more or less

there is always a demand for hun

PEELED to look abroad for milk and
cream, and it is for the purpose OF
assisting them in getting it in Flor

The milk will be handled in the
baggage cars of the regular fast pas

lay en- route, and new jacketed cans
for keeping the milk cool and sweet
have been found and will be demon
strated to the shippers SO they may
see the perfect practicability of ship
