FACTS AND PHOTOS"

Another testimonial to the value of
that artistic little book, "Facts and
Photos," is contained in the following:
Detroit, August ?, 1915.
Marion County Board of
Trade,
Ocala, Florida.
Dear Sir: We would like very much
to have a half dozen copies of your
little booklet entitled "Facts and
Photos," Ocala, Marion County, Flor
ida.
We have just purchased a large
block of your city bonds and are dis
tributing them among our custom
ers. In order to help US in this, we
would like to have some of your book
lets. We would also be pleased to re-
ceive any other printed information
that you have. Very truly yours,

Saturday night as we were "seeing
the sights" in one of our leading dry
goods stores, we noticed a bunch OF
ladies' hose hanging above the counter
and a large tag attached which read
"7c per yard, only 10 yards to Gus,
TONER" After gasping a few time:
and rubbing our eyes, a breeze blew
the card over and the other side reaC
"15c per pair."-Ocala Star.
That's nothing. A st. Petersburg
firm had window full of ladies' un
derwear advertised "one-fourth off.

Only one-fourth is very conserva

Mayor Bowden of Jacksonville has
very sensibly ruled that policemen
must not shoot at men who are run
ming away This is matter on which
the public conscience is waking up.
It has become entirely too much the
custom of policemen and deputy sher-
ifs to turn gun loose after man
who is guilty generally of nothing
more than a misdemeanor, or maybe
only of being frightened. Every once
in a while a man is killed or badly
wounded, and some of these days
soon perhaps, some officer too ready
with his shooting iron will go to the
penitentiary for ten years as warn
ing to others of his class.

Our request that Central and South
American nations help us to restore
peace in Mexico will cause some of
their people to believe we have con-
fidence in them. 1t will cause many
more to believe we are afraid to
tackle the job ourselves.
Besides the A. B. C. League, Boliv-
ia, Uruguay and Guatemala will be
asked to help US restore peace in Mex
leo, and we can't say the initials arc
especially reassuring-Columbia, Is
Co. State.
Is there anything else reassuring
about it?

If Marion county does not do some
hustling in the next few weeks, Ocala
is going TO be left off the Central
Florida division of the Dixie High
way. Almost nothing has been done
on the enterprise. Marion county
stands lowest in membership, having
only three members, while the little
town of Winter Haven has SO, Orlan-
do has Al, Sanford SO, st. Cloud Sc,
and even Perry has 10. Alachua to
the north of US with 5 members, and
Lake to the south with 6, are doing
very little better, yet these three
counties are in the choicest part OF
Florida and the highway thru them
would add very greatly to putting
them before the world.

AS MUCH EXCITEMENT

If those Americans who go abroad
on belligerent ships loaded with am
munition could be induced to play
with the hind legs of a mule, they
might get as much excitement with
out bringing their country into trou-

It must be admitted that in quot
ing American blockade rulings of the
civil war as a precedent for her pres
ent policy, Great Britain has the
United States dead to rights. And II
the United States was situated as
Great Britain is now, it is more than
likely that the United States would do
as Great Britain Is doing.

In the following, the Lakeland Tele-

There is a great deal of friction be-
tween Germany and Roumania. Ger
many insists on shipping ammunition
thru Roumania to Turkey, and Rou-

is trying to do the very thing she

The Ocala Star is of the opinion
that if a canning factory were start

we ought to have the canning factor

group of reporters just how clever
he is. He pointed out that he had
said nothing of the forfeiture of the
Automatic Fire Protection Co. He
had opined that the city had the
power to forfeit the franchise.
He said that the cases were in no
wise similar-the fire alarm company
had not tried to comply with its fran
chise and the Automatic company
had.
In the matter of the Automatic
Phone Co. he stated that a forfeit
ure would be invalid, negotiable and
confscatory." But then he was not
corporation counsel-he was repre-
senting the phone company.
Here's the comment of some alder
men on the subject:
Merriam: "Ettleson's opinion does
not help the case of the Automatic
company any. The city has strong
er argument against the Automatic
than against the fire alarm COM
pany."
Block: Contracts between public
utility corporations and the city
should be carried out just as if they
were made between individuals-the
opinions of the corporation counsel
notwithstanding Let us confiscate
and then let the courts decide wheth-
er or not we have the right. This
stretching of the law for convenience
encourages disrespect for the law"
Buck: 'His opinions seem to fiuc-
tuate with the amount involved He
evidently believes that what is sauce
for the gose is not necessarily sauce
for the gander."
Rodriguez: cit was easy to render
a reverse opinion because his other
opinion was so weak. The opinion
for forfeiture is even stronger than
his brief against it. 1t is thoroughly
within the city's rights to forfeit"
Bergen: forfeiture should only be

which bring department stores their

it up to the consumer, so that, in the
end, it is the buyer who pays the in
creased salaries.

ment stores should adopt any such
scale, because don't know condi-
tons on State street. But am able
to tell you that the minimum wage in
Massachusetts has benefited the de-
partment stores interests.
'"Then, too, the good moral effect
of an increase in wages of the work

The Filene store in Boston is of
the same class as the Wanamakers in
Philadelphia and Marshall Field & Co.
in Chicago. Their advertising is not
of the boom-boom-b ang-bang style
and they are decent enough to venti-
late their stores with fresh air for the
shoppers, which can't be said of all
the State street stores today.
