CLARK-RAY-JOHNSON
Won THE CASE
OCALA ATTORNEY HAS MANIAC
ED A LEGAL ISSUE OF THE
GREATEST IMPORTANCE

News was received today from the
circuit court of appeals that that
court had affirmed the judgment of
the lower court in the case of the
United States of America VS.. The
Clark Ray Johnson Company, of Mar
tel.
This case involved the land grant
of 1856, made by Congress to the
predecessor in interest of the Sea-
board Air Line Railway known then
as the Florida Railroad company,
which was chartered by David L.
Yulee and others to connect a railroad
from Amelia Island (Fernandina) to
Tampa, with branch to Cedar Key,
and also a line from what is now
Baldwin to Tallahassee, the United
States having granted every alternate
odd numbered section within six miles
on either side of the road proposed,
which had not heretofore been dis
posed of. Various mergers took place
in the Florida Railroad company, and
portions under its charter were set off
to construction companies. with differ
ent names, the portion from Waldo to
Ocala being known as the Peninsular
Railroad company, and from Ocala to
Wildwood was known as the Tropical
Florida, various other companies hav-
ing built other portions, the greater
portion of the lands were approved to
the F. R. & NJ Railway company,
which was the company that took over
all of the various so-called construc-
tion companies, and also a lot.were
approved to the F. C.;& p Railroad
company, which company succeeded
the F. r. & M Railway company, but
occasionally forty, and sometimes as.
much as $50 acres was not approved
by the land department, and without
any cause whatever, in 1908, the COM
missioner finding lot of unapproved
railroad selections Cancelled the en-
tries, and restored the lands to the
public domain. Under a decision of
the supreme court of the United
States more than twenty-five years
ago, holding that grant of the kind
in question passed present title to
all lands upon compliance with the
grant, attorneys had passed up these
titles as good, though not approved,
believing that the act of approving
was a mere ministerial act, and that
the company having earned the lands,
the department could not divest them
of the titles, so that innocent pur-
chasers held title to most of these
lands, having paid proper prices for
them, relying upon that decision of
VanWycke VS.. Knevals, log u. S. $780,
Suits were brought after the can
cellations were made, the United
States claiming title to the lands not
approved, such suits being brought to
recover the value of the turpentine
and timber taken; there being a num-
Der of these cases, this case was Sc
lected as a test case, and an agree
ment made as to the facts, each party
moving for verdict before Judge
Call in the district court,th question
of title being only involved. The case
was tried in July, 1913, and upon the
agreed statement of facts, Judge Call

Berlin, March 10.-Troops landed
by the allies to attack the Dardanelles
forts by land, have been driven back
to their ships by the Turks after
suffering heavy losses, according to
a Constantinople dispatch received at
the official German news agency to-
day.
The German press asserts that the
British admiralty's announcement of
success in the Dardanelles is untrue;

CLEANUP WEEK

To the end that we may have q
clean city and be as free as possible
from mosquitoes and flies during the
coming summer, let us all put forth
our best efforts during this cleanup
week and make~it real benefit.
It is most important at this season
to destroy all breeding places for
mosquitoes and flies in order that
'4their tribe may not increase" Let
us pay special attention to all recep-
tacles for garbage, the disposal Of
stable manure or any filth in which it
is possible for flies to breed, and to
the tin cans and various pieces of, junk
that hold water and afford favorable
spots in which mosquitoes may be
Matched.
It is we'll known that it is possible
for MOSQUITOES to breed in as small a
container as will hold a teaspoonful
of water and not infrequently a
pocket in a tree will hold enough
moisture to hatch mosquitoes enough
to inoculate family with malaria or
ether transmissible diseases, so it be-
hooves us to wage vigorous warfare
against any conditions that may be
favorable to the breeding of these
two pests which are rightly regarded
as a menace to the public health.
From the standpoint of beauty, let
us all try to accomplish during the
week something-if only one thing
that will add in some way to the gen.
eral attractiveness Of Ocala. Let
each of US who harbors a junk heap
or trash pile take a look at our
premises and see if we could not as
well do without it and if we cannot
dispense with it, see to it that it is
kept as neatly and inconspicuously as
possible.
There is much that we can do to-
ward Tightening the work of the
sanitary force in. the handling of
garbage, trash, ETC., by burning ev-
erything that can be burned.
Let US all work together for clean
town and beautiful town, bearing in
mind that an "ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure" and also that
the safety and comfort of the sum-
mer months can in a large measure
be conserved by abolishing as many
flies and mosquitoes as we can. Re-
member also that 1.-The early fly is
the one to swat"
ut comes before the weather's hot
and sits around and files its legs and
lays at least 10000, 900 eggs, and
every egg will bring a fly to drive us
crazy by and by. Oh, every fly that

900 sons and daughters, and counties.

SILVER MEDAL CONTESTS


A very interesting program was
rendered at the Baptist church last
night After the opening exercises
four girls from Belleview gave w.
c.. T. u silver medal contest under
their leader, Mrs. NJ. J. Sullivan. The
medal was awarded to Grace Stanley.
The judges were Mrs. G. H. Shaw of
Zuber, Mrs. A. M. Reed of Weirsdale,
and Mrs. j. E. Frampton of Ocala.
After the contest closed Master Viii
son Barrett recited selection on
which he had already won medal.
This boy has great possibilities before
him for a great and useful man, if he
continues to stand loyal to the little
bow of white ribbon he wears. He re-
ceived many words of praise for the
masterful way in which he delivered
his speech. This was followed by
''The Factory Chimney" which was
beautifully given by nine-year-o1d
Dorothy Merrill. This difficult recita-
tion was most ably handled by this
little girl, while most older people
would hesitate to undertake it. Dor
othey also wore silver medal that
she had won in a former contest. Then
three girls, Dolly Jones, Christine
Close and Marion Meffert, gave pan
tomime song, "Way Down Upon the
Suwanee River" with Miss Mabel
Aiken as pianist and Miss Mary Lou
Luckie sang the song. The dialogue
entitled, "The Sick Baby" was carried
out with fourteen children. Little

Only one entirely new couture has
attracted a widespread attention this
season, and that is the Bobby" in
which the hair appears to be bobbed
OF at the sides, as children wear it.
But other pretty arrangements merit
the approval that has been accorded
them. Two becoming and neat-look-
ing coiffures are shown here, suited to
those women who like simple styles
and the well-groomed look that be-
longs to carefully waved hair.
At the left is couture which is
an inspiration of the Bobby" The
hair is parted at the middle and
waved. A little fringe across the fore
head is curled slightly, and the part
made as inconspicuous as possible by
lifting tho hair at each side SO that
It lies evenly but loosely on the head.
It is pulled forward in front of the
ears and lies on the cheek in wave.
It is arranged in three fiat coils
across the back, and fine hair net
preserves it's neat appearance.
Hair nets should be drawn very
lightly over the couture and pinned
with invisible hairpins in many
places. They are not noticed when
put on in the right way, but usually
they f1atten the hair by being drawn
too tightly over it.
At the right waved couture is
shown parted at the side. The back
hair is arranged in figure "S" and an
prnafnented comb Is thrust into the
coil The comb is OF tortoise she'll

A f1ounce suspended by ribbons, to
be worn in place Of silk petticoat, is
the very latest device for comfort and
style. Everyone wants the fashion
able flare at the bottom of skirts, and
everyone likes the elegance of silk
In petticoats. But no one wants added
warmth about the body, or bulk about
the hips, and here is the solution to
the flare without anything else to
hamper its wearer.
The skeleton petticoat is merely a
more or less fancy and fluffy founce
of silk suspended by ribbons from a
ribbon belt The very practical one
shown in the picture is made of bright
green taffeta silk. Eight lengths of
a belt Of the same ribbon which ties
in a small bow about the waist. This
is q good color to wear with almost
any street gown.
A petticoat of this kind to be worn
with lingerie gowns is made of white
taffeta in fiounce having decorations
of figured taffeta. The figured taffeta

Erect FIGURE Correct.

The fashionable girl of 1915 appears
on the scene with beautiful, erect
figure, free swing to her walk and
with clothing of sufficient width to
permit her to be graceful in her car
riage. The stopped shoulders with
head bent forward and slouching gait
once assumed by those who wanted to
attain the extreme in styles, have en-
tirely passed and, like an old-tash-
toned dress of several seasons ago,
will be discarded by those who care
enough for fashion to change their
manner Of carrying themselves.

A Clear Skin.

Good health is the only lasting pre-
scription for good skin. Cosmetics
and lotions will do no good if the real
trouble is lack of exercise or indiscre-
ton in eating. Indigestion is the cause
of many pimply skins and sluggish dis
positions. Your stomach and its health
will reflect on your beauty.
Many girls lunch daily on dish OF
ice cream or some candy. A sallow,
muddy complexion is the inevitable
result You should make every meal
as substantial as possible, and do not
eat between meals.
Women who form the habit OF get
ting up late, then rushing of without
any breakfast, or none to speak OF,
will soon show the results OF this in
their faces. The midday meal need not
be- heavy-a salad, a pattie, a light
dessert, glass Of milk is enough
