mention without stopping to analyze
it.
It was not very long after that we
began to hear complaints as to some
Of the year books statements, and
taking time the other day, took over
the table printed in the Marion coun-
ty page we found a glaring list of
errors, the publication Of which is a
libel on our county.
These figures were from the report
of the Florida Agricultural Depart
ment, and the only explanation for
the way they were mixed up is that
they were "railroaded" into print
without any proof reading.
The first statement in the table is:
Corn, 10.757 acres; ITO bushels,
SOL ,556o
The proper figures would have Civ
en- yield of 131,17o bushels of corn.
Such an error is obviously an error;
the trouble is the reader has no way
of deciding what the real yield is.
Next is: Sea Island cotton, 5.13
acres, 371 bales; value s22, 200"
The correct figures are, 5136 acres,
1877 bales, 1882, ,140.
Following is upland cotton, 1925
acres, 1877 bales, $132,140.
The correct figures are, 1925 acres,
81 bales, $4,000.
Another big misstatement is in re
gard to oranges, which is, Number
Of trees, 71,17O; boxes, $3.50; value,
S195, ,450."
The correrN> figures are, ITO trees,
149,85O boxes; sf95. .450.
Misstatements are made in regard
to oats, sweet potatoes, peanuts, vel
vet beans, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes,
eggplant, cucumbers, cantaloupes,
beans and grapefruit-60 per cent of
the items.
The entire table in fact is such a
mass of glaring errors that we do
not see how any linotype operator
could have set them, unless he was
drunk, and if it ever went under the
eyes Of a proof reader, he must have
been drunk also: or else his correc-
tions were entirely disregarded
It's the Stars opinion that its up
to the Tribune to apologize to Mr..
Rooney for its unjust criticism, and
for it to explain and correct the
mangling of the figures in its year
book.

MARION COUNTY
MUCHLY MIsREPREsENTED


Last year, the always enterprising
Tampa Tribune, issued a special edi-
ton for Marion county, and in order
to compile the same sent one of its
clever young men, Mr.. Gilbert D.
Leach, to Ocala to obtain data. Mr..
Leach, like a wise man, made bee
line for the headquarters of informa-
ton, the Marion County Board of
Trade, and found a willing and eff
cient helper in Secretary Rooney It
happened that just at that time Mr..
Rooney was preparing the follow
up" booklet for Facts and Photos" !"
He and Mr. Leach collaborated-to-
gether, they visited al parts of Mar
ion county and obtained large stores
Of useful information, to be used by
both, by Mr.. Leach, in the Tribune
special edition, and by Mr.. Rooney in
the booklet The Tribune special edi-
ton came out first, simply because the
Tribune was better equipped for
speedy printing than Rooney. When
TIE booklet was published later, there
We in it a considerable amount Of
Iter that had already been in the
Tribune, but was not credited to the
Tribune for the good and sufficient
reason that Mr.. Rooney, having OBJ
tanned it himself, did not see any
reason why he should credit it to any
one else.
Shortly after, Mr. Rooney and his
friends here were much surprised to
see in The Tribune criticism on the
bookl i, in which the Tribune COM
mented on so much Of it being made
up from the Tribune's special edition,
and inquired with some asperity why
it was not credited, to which very un-
just attack. Mr.. Rooney made an
ample explanation, which has so far
not been acknowledged by the Tribune.
On the first of March, the Tribune
printed its year book, handsome and
mostly very correct magazine, con-
tanning among other good things a
page write-up of Marion county. The
Star, impressed with the general
good looks of this fine-looking publ
cation, and in view of the Tribune's
usual accuracy, gave it favorable

The First Christmas Tree.

st. Winfred. who was In the eighth
century a missionary to the Scandi-
%navians. is said to have set up the first
Christmas tree IN the home. He tried
TO show the people that the Druid
priests had made them w%Orshipers OF
trees only and not of Il living God. and
on Christmas eve he cut down the
great oak tree around which they had
gathered to offer a human sacrifice. As
II fell = young fr tree seemed to ap
pear miraculously beyond it. and Win
fred said to the people: Here is Il liy-
ing tree with no stain Of blood upon
it that shall he the sign Of your new
worship. See how 1t points to the sky.
Call 1t the tree OF the Christ Child.
Take 1t up and carry it to the chief
tAin's hall. You shall go no more into
the shadow IT the forest to keep your
feasts with secret rites. You shall keep
them at home. with laughter and song
and rites OF love. The thunder oak
has fallen. and | think the day is CON-
ing when there shall not be a home
where the children are not gathered
around n green fr tree to rejoice IN
the birth Of Christ"

4 ryaY CHRISTMAS TREE.

Mappy With Miniature Plant.
4 tiny ar tree, not ovsr two and 4
AaH feet high, and Of symmetrical
shape. was chosen for my little girls
Aoil's Christmas tree, says 4 writer In
The Wonan's Home Companion. This
was easily planted In = iowerpot and
established upon Il large table in the
living room. Tiny cand,es were fasten-
ed upon the branches, u ten cent bunch
Of 7tinsel was sufficient for draping aud
. further outlay for the small colored
glass Orna ments added to the
ness.
The main idea Is to keep everything
on u miniature scale while duplicating
for the beloved doll children the gifts
that usually fall to the small mother.
so It was that tiny dolls were dressed:
tiny fancy boxes were filled with tiny
candles, others contained wee haMdker-
chiefs embroidered with smallest or
initials; here hung u hand mirror, there
> nursing bottle, tiny fans. Il lovely set
Of cups for the tea table. Il small bird
In a gilt cage. II new pet kitty. and so
on. Ten q stOres Yielded most of
the treasures.
On the morning If Christmas nv
eight-year-Old was shown her old dol
lies. each radiantly dressed. and was
told that their tree was ready below
stairs. The JOY and delight at the
sight were charming TO behold and the
blissful apportionment OF gifts began.
As each ARRIVING playmate rolled IN her
new dolly Ito show what I've got
envy and pride reflected upon the faces
Of the visitor and visited. only to be
dispelled by there Is something on the
tree for your dolly"
