SHOWED THEM WHAT
MARION CAN DO

Mr.. S. j. McCully kept his promise
to bring a bunch of practical farmers
to Ocala and show them what Marion
county can do. On his return from
South Florida, he was accompanied by
the following gentlemen:
]. W. Hill, Washington, D. c., lead
er of the boys corn clubs for the
southern states; C. K. McQuarrie,
state agent of the United States gov
eminent demonstrators, with head
quarters at the state university; A.
P. Spencer, district agent for south
ern Florida, also with headquarters
at the university; E. S. Price, district
agent for West Florida; w. E. Allen
of Lecanto, demonstration for Citrus
county; ]. T. Daniels of Brooksville,
demonstrator for fernando, and ]. L.
Harrington Of Bushnell, demonstrator
for Sumter.
These gentlemen, in the autoes of
Messrs. J. M. Meffert, T. T. Munroe,
C. P. Howell and A. NJ. Flanery, and
accompanied by several of our citi-
zens who are deeply interested in ag-
riculture, visited Mr.. Howells stock
farm, the Ocala Heights Dairy farm
Mr.. Meffert's farm at Lowell, the
| Wetumpka orange grove and the Ok
lawaha River farms, and what they
saw at these places was not only pos
tive proof that Marion county is or
the agricultural map, but was not 3
little of a surprise that so much extra
good farming is and can be done.
i We are always glad to have visits
from such people. They are Of IA
more value than tourists.

The visit of members of the state
board of health with their exhibit to
Ocala has been of great interest and
some benefit. A great many of the
things that the board holds up to pub
lie view are not nice, and rather cal
culated to spoil ones appetite if seen
just before dinner. However, the les
sons they teach are necessary, and the
neglect they seek to remedy and the
ignorance they try to dispel have
brought, billion times over, nauseat-
ing and torturing affection to human
ity. The state is doing good work
in organizing and carrying on this
educational crusade. 1t should be
persisted in until its necessary les
sons are thoroughly engraved on the
minds of the people. The visit of the
board of health members to Ocala is
another of the good things obtained
by the Marion County Board of Trade

SOMEWHAT HARD TO FOLLOW
Sturdy Veterans Recipe for Long Life
All Right, but for Certain
Strong Considerations.

George Mclean, a Jamaica negro,
seventy-fve years old, sailor for 81
years and still an active and able sea-
man, veteran Of thousand storms and
score of shipwrecks, has been telling
the Philadelphia Public Ledger how to
avoid illness and attain old age with
out losing an ounce Of the strength of
youth. Here is Georges recipe:
Eat as much as you like, whenever
you desire.
Eat whatever you like.
sleep whenever you feel sleepy.
No particular hours are necessary.
"Just live like you want to-"
There is no doubt that George has
the right idea. Youth-at least until
implacable age has broken it of its
desire-believes in eating as much as
1t, likes, whenever it likes, and in
sleeping when it feels sleepy. But by
the time one is more or less able to
'just live like he wants to- lifetime

WASHINGTON GAN COMPETE
WITH SOUTH MAKING R0S|N
University Students Discover Cheap
Method of Getting Product From
SaWmill Waste.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Sept. 3.-The development of an in
dustry whereby the Northwest can
produce rosin from sawmill waste at
a lower cost than that prevailing in
the South, and in great quantities,
seems possible to the members of the
chemistry faculty of the university,
as a result of the Investigations of
Newton Critics under the direction of
Prof. H. X. Benson. The results of
the investigation were presented by
Critics in his bachelor of science thesis
in engineering last June, and was
also given before the convention of
the American Chemical society in
Seattle last week.
Critics worked out an improvement
over the common method of extract
ing rosin from wood. In the South
the solvent usually employed is gaso-
line, but 20 to so gallons of the gaso-
line are lost with the treatment of
eac.. cord of wood. This loss adds
to the cost of production as much as
SO to IS a cord. Critics substituted
ammonium hydroxide for the gaso-
line and discovered the exact condi-
tons under which complete extrac-
ton of rosin was possible. He recov-
cred his ammonia without appreciate
loss, so that it could be used contin-
uously.
DR.. Benson has expressed the be-
lief of his colleagues and himself
that from the selected resinous waste
of Seattle mills alone it is possible to
produce $4,000 barrels OF rosin an
nually, and beat the present market
prices of the South, which leads in
the industry.

prediction of Thomas A. Edison,

war industries, am satisfied this
country has embarked on a seven
years cruise of prosperity" Edi-
son says.
''If some attempt to overdo it,
a recurrence of bad times will in
evitably come, although not so
bad as we have seen, because bust
ness is now established on a sound
banking system. People must
learn to save their money and
avoid eXtravagances."

.RUDE RARQUARD HAS A
 REMARKABLE RECORD

Bpbe MarQusrd, crack left handed pitcher of the New York Giants, who recently pitched no hit game against Brooklyn, has broken more records in baseball than any other two pitchers put together. From the time McGraw paid $l1.O00 for the Rube, the highest price ever paid for ball player up to that time, the Rube has proceeded mer- rTy on his way busting and tearing rec ords apart.
 Jumping from a rookie to a star in 1911, the Rube led the National league pitchers in his first year as regular, winning twenty-four games and losing seven, for percentage of .774 In 1912 he tied the worlds pitching record and broke all modern pitching records by linking together nineteen victories without a break. In this winning streak Brooklyn was the first and nine teenth victim.
 Last July Marquard defeated Pitts burgh in a twenty-one inning game, the longest contest ever fought in the Ma honal league. Later Rube lost twelve straight games, the longest losing streak any Giant pitcher has sustain ed since McGraw lifted the Giants into the first division In 1903. Now the Rube has crowned bis string of records by breaking into the no hit class in his first game of the season. MarQuard's nearest approach to no hit game prior to thIs one was pitched in 1911, when he held St. Louis hitless until the late innings, when Rube Ellis bit him for a single,
