Classification and Lower
Ostrich Valuation at Last
Days Session

For purposes of taxation range
cattle will be divided into two classes
instead of five, as was decided at the
Prescott conference last summer.
This action was taken yesterday at
the conference of county assessors
with the tax commission.
Hereafter, range cattle will be
classed as range cattle proper, with
minimum valuation of s25 per head.
and steers years old and up, mini
mum $50 per head. The minimum for
beef cattle was fixed at s35, and
feeders" at $50 per head
Confusion resulting from the in
crease in classification was one Of
the arguments urged against the
Prescott plan by Charles Mullen. Lon
Harmon and w. w. Cook, representing
the cattlemen. who met with the as
SCISSORS and the commission yester-
day, with the result that the BODY
voted to make only two classes under

Rev H. 3. Dc Lave preached from
the text, For what does a man profit
if he should gain the whole world
and lose his own soul, or what shall
man give in exchange for mis- soul ."
One Of the strongest points of Rev.
DE Laye's sermon was his forcefui
dcnunciation of the dance. Some
things he said in his sermon were:
Cod is an intelligent reasonable
God, and He tries to reason with His
people that way
What if YOU get power and in
fluence and lose your soul? What If
you should get ricn and lose your
soul? What if YOU should have a
lew dances and lose your soul?''
His manner was most forceful when
he said: THE trouble with humanity
today is we will be taught We
refuse, refuse, refuse. Not a man or
woman on earth has a right to an
opinion on moral question. God
hates sin tonight as much as He did
1000 years ago, when He put His Son

FLOWER OF THE RANCH

of the Hills

| Tonight the bill at the Columbia will
! change and the scenes shift from the
, interior of the business home o one OF
| Americas millionares to the rugged
| peaks of the western mountains of the
Pacific coast.
In presenting The Flower of the
| Ranch which is the same story that
Belasco used as the basis of his now
famous Girl of the Golden West" Mp.
Redmond is responding TO the requests
of some three hundred patrons of the
Columbia who have asked To see this
American classic of the hills.
In the part of The Girl or as the
flower as she is known in the Red
mond version, Miss Audell Higgins will
be seen in q part that has been the
means of bringing several leading wo-
! men to the front in stock presentations
of the splendid drama.
She is particularly fitted to the light
and shade of the role of the rough
mountain bred girl to whom love comes
after life that has known but the un-
couth men of the hills. This Won
derful heart story of yesterday is SO
full of thrills so full. of the things that
made up life in the days when Califor
mia was in the making that is has been
catalosued as one of the greatest plays
of the age
For it's production seven elaborate
scenes are necessary and for them Mr..
Redmond has had the artist do the
greatest production that has ever
graced stage in Phoenix.
The sale for the night SO far exceeds
any that has been recorded at the CO.
lumbia that sure sell out looks emin-
ent.
Many of the Old fashioned props,
guns, and wardrobe for the play comes
from the studios of Romaine Fielding
who once played the part of the sheriff
in the piece when he was in the speak
ing drama. Instead of sending to San
Francisco for the many properties nee
essary for the bill Mr.. Fielding arrived
in time to pIofer his splendid prop
stock to the local producers.

FLORIDA SOFT PHOSPHATE

This company, after several years

third the price they are now paying,
that is the equal of any commercial
fertilizer for at least 85 per cent. of
the farm products grown.
This company owns the only two
large deposits of soft phosphate ever
discovered in this country and they
are situated near Kendrick and Citra
in this county. 1t also has large de-
posfts of agricultural lime in this

those of our very un-Civil War. In
the few weeks of fighting from the
Rappahanock to Petersburg in 1864
the armies of Northern Virginia and
the Potomac, aggregating perhaps
100000 men, lost at least $4,000 in
killed and wounded, and nothing ir

We are sorry to see that the Ocala
Star betrays symptoms of getting in
with the small and diminishing crowd
that is nagging the administration
because of its Mexican policy. Pres
ident Wilson must either stick to his
present attitude toward that chaotic
land or declare war-there is no mid
die ground. Which would the Star
prefer Lakeland Telegram.
The Star dislikes to disagree with
the Telegram in anything, but it be-
lieves President Wilson can put a
stop to Mexicans shooting across the
border and protect Americans in Mex
leo without declaring war, or giving
Mexico any reason to declare war
Other nations protect their own peo-
pie at home and abroad-why cannot
ours? We regret that the Telegram
classes the Star with the "small anc
diminishing crowd that is nagging
the administration" The Star denie:
that it nags the administration OF
anything else. 1t is only expressing
it's candid opinion on a public matter
and the crowd that agrees with it is
neither small nor dwindling. In homc
matters, Mr.. Wilson, in the Star't
| opinion, is the best president th'
country ever had. His Mexican polio!
makes US tired and sometimes i
makes US sick.

with which he covers all suffering, all
distress. Well, the French also smile.
But with the Japanese, it is the lips
that smile, while with the French it is
the soul itself that smiles. Under

smiles. For it is healthy soul that

BOARD OF TRADE

Marion county's representative COM
mercial body had well attended and
interesting meeting Wednesday night.
President Rogers was in the chair
and Secretary Rooney at the desk. A
goodly number of members were pres
ent and both newspapers represented.
News was received from DR.. Porter
of the state board of health, that he
and his assistants will try to be here
after Feb. 20 with their exhibits,
which will be very instructive and
should be seen by all our people.
The state railroad commission in
formed the board that it had left
plans in regard to dining room in
the new union passenger station with
the railroads; also that it would ask
the roads to furnish the board with
blue print of the plans.
The matter of the Reddick tele-
graph office was taken up. Reddick
is without telegraph facilities, because
it does not pay the Western Union to
maintain an office there and the rail-
road company is not in the CONNER
cial telegraph business. The Western
! Union promises to keep an operator
there during the trucking season.
Secretary Rooney will go to Reddick
to try and secure promise of enough
business to keep the office open the
year around.
The Carmichael boat proposition
was then taken up, and the decidedly
caustic editorial in the Star of the 9th,
regarding the lack of enterprise in
Ocala business men in sleeping over
the proposition, was read
Secretary Rooney said he believed
he could secure a party who would
put up $4,000 or more to purchase an
other boat. President Rogers said
that he would suggest that this mat
ter had best be attended to by Ocala
people if possible. Editor Harris
agreed with Mr.. Rogers that the boat
should be built by Ocala people. The
board seemed unanimously agreed
: that it would be better for the inter
ests of the people of Oeala if they put
) up the money for the boat and had
: their money as well as their interest
: therein.
t Editor Harris asked the secretary
: if the party whom he had in minC
: would put up money for the boat
!, if he thought that when the railroads
l gave water rates the boats would b.
tied up. The secretary said that h'
was of the opinion that it would mak'
0 no difference. During the discussion
r the fact was brought out that tn
Y freight boats would not be common
a carriers.
: Mr.. Meffert said he had been t.
5 Silver Springs with Mr.. Carmichae

;, give Ocala a public dock, also sit

Why should the fact that fighting

Here is another lesson we can learn
from the war. German people will
plant in every available place vege-
tables that will sustain life for those
who are at home during the spring,
summer and fall, so that all the
meats and breadstuffs may go to the
sustenance of the men in the field,
and their resources husbanded against
a possible time of need. Suppose ev-
cry family in Florida should produce
in the little patches, and out of the
way places not now utilized for any
purpose, all the vegetables needed,
