The St. Petersburg Independent has

The st. Petersburg Independent has
secured and is keeping up much fav-
orable advertising for its town by
proclaiming it, .The Sunshine City
1t is a happy name and one that OBJ
tains for lie town fortuitous notice
wherever it is heard or SEEM Almost
every town in the United States has
q nickname, and in capturing that of
<sThe Sunshine City" st. Petersburg
has put itself among the top-liners.
The Star wishes Ocala had made as
happy a hit. We never liked the
commonplace and rather ugly nick
name, "The Brick City" And as ST.
Petersburg is Florida town and a
near neighbor. the Star is glad it has
hitched its wagon to the sun.

Editor Collens of the Summerfeld
Chronicle, who was in town Monday,
was giving some figures as to why it
would pay the Seaboard Air Line to
run morning and evening trains to
Ocala. There is an average of three
auto loads a day between his town
alone and this city. With all the other
live towns south of Ocala on the Sea
board, its safe to say morning and
evening train would pay.

SENATOR WEST


States Senator w. S. West died sud-
denly of heart disease at A o'clock
this morning. He was apparently in
his usual health last night.
Col. w. S. West has had large
property holdings in Citrus county
for the last dozen years, and was also
interested in Marion county. He was
well known to many people in Ocala
and other parts of the state, being in
fact so much interested in Florida at :
sairs, and so well posted in regard to
this state that its people almost felt
like they had third representative
in the Senate when he was appointed
TO fill the vacancy in that body made
by the death of the veteran states
man, Augustus o. Bacon. Senator
West was a man of high character,
great ability and magnetic person
atty. Georgia and Florida in partic-
ular and the country in general lose
by his sudden DEATH, He might have
been elected senator, but declined TO
run, and was succeeded by Congress
man Hardwick.

If there is duel between Colonels
r. L. Anderson and G. w. Scofeld,
as the present spicy correspondence
forshadows, the Star recommends that
a mark the size of Mr.. Scofield be
chalked out on the more ample pro-
portions of Mr.. Anderson, and that
any hit Mr.. Scofeld makes outside
the line shall not count.

ADVANTAGES OF
LIFE INSURANCE

4
1t strengthens a mans credit.
1t is will that no lawyer can
break.
It provides for man in his own
old age.
1t enables the widow to educate the
children.
1t is the safest investment known
among, men.
It creates for the. man an i'm
mediate estate.
Less than ten men in hundred
leave any estate at death.
The policy is a certificate of health
for the man about to marry.
1t will enable the widow to pay off
the mortgage on the farm or the
home
It will continue ones income after
his death for the need of those who
remain.
Properly written, the life insurance
policy is exempt from the claims Of
creditors.
1t gives the business man good
standing with his banker and the bus
mess world.
/ 1t provides for his family when,
after death, he can no longer care for
their wants.
Systematic in it's methods, it affords
! the surest and easiest way to save
money.
Most men at death leave no estate
for wife and children other than their
life insurance.
A life policy in sound company is
the best present the young husband
can give his bride.
If one is rich he can afford to carry
life insurance; if he is poor he cannot
afford to be without it.
The dead have no further need OF
bread; but the living, who are left
behind, will need three meals day.
1t is the one thing that man car
certainly buy today for less money
than will be required year hence.
When a man dies, some of his in
vestments will be sold at loss. The
life policy is virtually cash in bank.
In these days of high prices, lif.
insurance is perhaps the only thins
that costs less than it did a genera
ton ago.
/ It is an investment that increases il
value yearly; there is no uncertainty
no depression, no possibility of loss.
All normal, successful men carr!
life insurance; the man who is not In
sured in some amount is a curiosity,
freak.
Life insurance places mans owl
future welfare and the welfare of hi
I wife and children upon shoulder
stronger than his own.
/ 1t enables the remaining member
of firm to buy the interest of tn
deceased partner without delay 0
detriment to the business.
1t brings peace of mind to the ma
who loves his wife and children; TO
he knows that, whatever may happier
they are provided for.
Life insurance means ready cas-
for the widow of the well-to-do mar
whose funds would otherwise be tie
up in the settlement of the estate.
/ Through life insurance man ca
create an immediate estate for tn
cost of one cigar (or young man TO

The rejoicings in Germany over the
great victory in Poland may have
been like the good laugh the Irish
man had when he thought what fun
it would be to rub the bulls nose in
the dirt. 1t did the Germans lots of
good to have their celebration, and it
doesn't seem to have done the bull,
or rather the bear, much harm.

A friend inquiries of the Star, why
is Grand Opera capitalized. The
Star doesn't know, unless it is because
there are so many people in the coun-
try who think that everything that
costs more than 49 cents is proper
and everything cheaper is common.
At any rate, the Star artists have
been instructed to put grand opera
down.

VOLLHER EULOGIZES
lOWA'S CORN BELT

Washington, March 21.--Representa-
tive Andrew Vollmer of Iowa, who was
elected to congress a few weeks ago,
made his maiden speech in the house
Thursday. He euiogized the Iowa hen
and other products of the corn belt.
THE rolling prairie between the
fortieth and forty-fourth parallels of
north latitude" Mr.. Vollmer said,
(which is folded in loving embrace
by the limpid silver of the Father of
Waters on the east and the tawny
gold Of the Big Muddy on our western
slope, is a garden Of the Lord which,
in the liquid music of the Indian ton
que was appropriately named Iowa,
beautiful land
From the day when the first
meadoW-lar intones her song of
spring, which no Mendelssohn, no
Mozart, no Grieg, or other inspired
human genius can approach in its
glorious motif of the ever recurring
miracle of the re-birth of nature, till
that perfect season In the middle west,
known as Indian summer, when the
frost is on the pumpkin and the fod-
der's in the shock the 10000 square
miles of Iowa soil, are one vast work
shop for the production Of the corn,
the corn, the royal corn, which has
within it's yellow heart enough food
and wealth for all the nations.'"
Mr.. Vollner denied that the hens of
Iowa were being upset by Chinese
competition. .es
All the importations Of Chinese
eggs would not furnish nestegg
apiece for the hens in my state" Mr..
Vollmer shouted.
