LITTLE ALFRED BLAKENEY

All the friends of Rev. and Mrs. j.
M. Gross were deeply grieved yester-
day to hear of the death of Mrs.
Gross nephew, little Alfred Blake
ney.
This little boy was the son of Mrs.
Gross sister, and, his mother dead,
was finding another mother in Mrs.
Gross, who gave him the most tender
care. 1t became necessary to per-
form an operation on him for ade-
noids, and he was not strong enough
to survive the shock.
For the last three years, little Al
fred has had a home with Mr.. and
Mrs. Gross, who were devoted to him
and are greatly grieved by his death
The remains of the little boy left
today for Oklahoma City, to be laid
by the side of his mother. Mrs. Gross
went with the body, and DIR. Gross &C.
companied her to Jacksonville.

Ocala isn't the biggest town in Flo
rida, but it leads in some things. One
is in medical inspection of it's schools.
1t probably takes more care in this
regard than any other town of its size
in the United States. This inspec-
ton, by competent physician, be-
gan some years ago, and has been
faithfully followed out ever since. 1t
not only saves untold trouble to the
parents of children, by preventing
epidemics of measles, mumps, whoop-
ing cough, etc., but saves the public
money, for. tho the people seldom
think Of it, it is an extra expense on
the public, when a child falls behind
in its studies in the public schools,
Then, Ocala, so far as the Star
knows, is the only town of its size in
the United States to maintain a NUM-
cipal rest room. for the benefit of the
country people. Neither have we
heard of any other city of its size that
has instituted the festival ceremony
of the civic Christmas tree.

A MERITED TRIBUTE

The following testimonial of appre-

sicians of Ocala to Mr.. T. T. Munroe:
AS the season approaches for the
expression and interchange of good
feeling, we, the staff of the Marion
County Hospital extend to you and
to yours our wishes for a Happy
Christmas.
We also feel that a time has arriv-
ed in your life when it is proper, to
say the least, that your co-workers
speak a word of encouragement and
appreciation.
We have special reference to the
building and the managing of the af-
fairs of the Marion County Hospital,
in which work you have been open,
approachable and agreeable TO all
concerned, and in completion of which,
you may point with pardonable pride
as a result of your unselfish devo-
ton.
Trusting that the companion OF
your fireside, will soon be able to take
her place of cheer and comfort, with
out which we are sure your noble
work could not have been consummat-
ed, we again wish you and yours a
Happy Christmas.

SUDDEN DEATH OF ]. d. SMITH

Mr.. J. D. Smith, man about thirty
years old, who has been employed at
the packing house of the Ocala Citrus
Association, died suddenly late yester
day afternoon while walking on the
A. C. L. railroad tracks just north of
the Seaboard crossing.
Several persons saw him fall, after
calling for help, but he lived only a
few moments. DR.. Peek was called
and went Immediately to his assist
ance, but the man was dead when he
reached the spot where he fell. DIR.
Peek took the body into his car and
conveyed it to the home of the I'M
fortunate man in North Ocala.
Mr.. Smith came here some months
ago from Hawkinsville, Ca, where he
has relatives, and to which place the
remains will probably be sent for in
terment.

some birds which are often considered
injurious to agriculture, such as
owls, crows, blackbirds and the mis-
judged jay. The department. OF agri-
culture. has proved that although
some of these birds may now and then
pull up the young corn, or rob the
hens nest, this is more than counter
balanced by the good they do in de-
stroying grasshoppers, cutworms and
harmful insects, as well as field mice
and other injurious mammals.
The state of Pennsylvania, awhile
ago, offered bounty for the heads OF
owls and hawks, because farmers
complained of the loss of their chick
ems. Such quantities of these birds
were killed, that the field mice and
other vermin, which they had kept in
check, increased so rapidly that the
state lost, through their depredations,
upward of four million dollars in a
year and half. The law was quickly
repealed, but it will be years before
the balance can be restored.
Not only humanitarians and lovers
of nature, but naturalists and scien-
lists, also, have testified times with
out number to the useful services of
owls in the cause of agriculture, ow-
ing to the great inroads they make
among mice and moles. Sc much did
the olden farmers value them that in
constructing their barns they invar-
iably left an entrance for their par
ticular use.
The Grow Bulletin, published by
!! the department of agriculture, states
that corn can be so treated with tar,
that crows will not touch it, and it
also proves that the eggs and poultry
which they eat, amounts to only a
fraction of one per cent of their food,
which is mostly of grasshoppers and
grubs. The much abused cherry-bird
has rescued whole villages from the
elm-worm plague, and it is well
argued that the birds have right to
la little fruit, as wages for their work.
It is true that our cows and horses
consume our hay and grain: are we
so unthinking an animal that we can
not see the work done by anything
smaller than cow or horse? Birds
often eat fruit to quench thirst; why
not have a drinking place in every
| orchard?
Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller says:
Glow can a thoughtful woman, feel
ling some responsibility in the train
ing of her children, reconcile her con-
science to the constant object-lessonz
in cruelty which the wearing of muir
dered birds holds up before her chill

FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL
COMMISSION
BY Peter Radford.

The recent investigation OF the
United States Commission OF Indus
trial Relations brought together the
extremes of society and has given the
public an opportunity to view the rep
resentatives of distinct classes, side
by side, and to study their views in
parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
glaring at each other over CULTS or
misunderstanding and if the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, it will render the
public distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furn-
ishing the sinews of war and it is
quite gratifying to find them talking
with, instead of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each others souls, it always makes
the world better and far more salts

bears the burden of conflict, than

containing charges and counter

The love for justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates of government, for there Is
no authority quite SO commanding al
an honest conscience; there is no de-
cree quite SO binding as that of the,
Supreme Court of Common Sense and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite SO
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor will not
be occasionally blinded by the Hight

by the thunder peals Or discomfort.

TIE LaaIIILE OF
The TIRES


agricultural and Commercial Press serviceT
IL Is interesting to watch the forces
or civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the TWEEN
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
fict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen.
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been vancouver
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured few unim-
portant positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurting a mil
lion "jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
10 ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re.
treat, its doom is sealed, but If it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation.
II the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth is on. for iron is the un-
disputed master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but it was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
ut Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. 1t took the iron tire fifty-five
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys-
SEES. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power OF
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron Is stubborn metal and
1t has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the NORWOOD
OF defeat, and when rubber hurls it's
full force against this monarch OF
the Mineral Kingdom. it may rebound
10 the factory stunned beyond recoy-
cry.
The rubber tire first made it's ap-
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. 1t has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as utility ma
chine and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland. it is enchanting to note
that there will be a marvellous differ
ence between a rubber and an iron
age The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why city? 1t will traverse the con-
tinent with net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule-
ward built by Napoleon. 1t will par
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?
