MEXICAN AFFAIRS
TROUBLE BETWEEN VILLA AND HIS TROOPS CAR
RAMA FAVORED BY THE CONFERENCE
(Associated Press)

Ell Paso, Texas, Oct. 16.-It is re-
ported that Francisco Villa, the Mex
lean revolutionist leader, has been
killed and his body will be brought
here by Mexicans from Casas
Grandes. 1t is said that Villa was
shot in fight yesterday which de-
veloped when seven thousand of his
army of nine thousand revolted.
Another report brought here by an
American passenger is that Villa was
being court martialed Friday, the
trial still being in progress when the
train left Casas Grandes. The Mex
lean said Villa demanded a forced
loan from one of his comrades. When
the man refused he was ordered shot.
The troops then revolted.
The Villa garrison at Juarez last
night was greatly disturbed. Fact
conditions couldn't be learned. Res
idents feared to cross the interna-
tional bridge.

CORN, MEAL AND GRITS B.
CHAZAL SONS COMPANY

Across the street is the substantial
two-story building with cement floor
on the ground level, occupied by an
other of Ocala's newest and best in
dustries. In this building the L. R.
Chazal Sons Co. has established a
modern plant, where with labor saw
ing machinery, corn is shelled and
then passed on through the huge
boiler-like arrangement where the
grains are subjected to 165 degrees
of heat for several minutes while
being revolved and stirred. Coming
out of this machine, all weevis and
bugs are dead, also any eggs that
may have been in or about the corn.
The corn is passed on to cleaning
machine, where all trash and husk
and, incidentally, any dead weevil, is
removed. On it passes to the grist
mill, where a powerful blowing
machine removes any remaining for
eign substance and the clean grains
go into the mill and come out in meal
or grits, as desired, being sifted as
it comes out. The freshly ground
meal or grits is then sacked in the
attractively printed sacks of the firm
and is ready for market. The pro-
cess from the time the corn goes into
the shelter till it is ready to sack as
meal is continuous, with no handling
by hand, the corn being taken from
the heat-treating machine to the sec
ond floor from which it passes into
the top of the mill, if desired, or re-
mains there, is the plant is not grind
ing.
The L. r. Chazal Sons Co. is buy
ing all the corn that comes to it and
paying tie market price. This com.
pany is having no trouble is disposing
of the meal and grits and the numer-
Gus mixtures of stock feed that il
puts up, and we are glad to see tbs
local merchants patronizing the plant
literally. The plant is supplied with
power by two large electric motors

BIG INDUSTRIES OF TAYLOR
BROTHERS

Crossing the Seaboard, on the way
"up town" is the huge new ware
house, filling the entire corner made
by the crossing of the A. C. L. Rail-
way, that has just been completed
by the Ocala Manufacturing Co., and
is now being filled slowly with crates
and baskets for the coming demand.
This warehouse is pointed out with
pride by the Taylor brothers. 1t is
so x 80 and is more than 20 feet high,
inside at the caves, and more than 80
feet in the center. 1t is well made and
well braced and well lighted. Mr..
Taylor put floor in this building that

support the weight of the 10000

TEXAS OIL COMPANY

Jumping away over, northwest OF

one of the many new and good things
to come to Ocala, has well under way
its buildings. The Texas Oil Com
pany is building two warehouses and
stable for it's teams, and as soon
as these are ready the three huge
tanks for storing gasoline and kero-
sene will be shipped here and placed
on their foundations. The company
will carry probably the largest stock
of gasoline and oil, as well as barrel
goods, oils, paints, roofing, etc., of
any of the oil companies operating in
this part of the state. It will supply
several counties from the Ocala sta
ton, and we are told it is putting in
as rapidly as possible sixteen of these
stations in the state. Ocala is glad
to see the big competitor of the

IMMENSE ORANGE INDUSTRY

This big building is well lighted and
ventilated and when the season opens
and the thousands of boxes of fruit
come in and the army of people are
handling and getting it ready for
market, it will present more ami
mated appearance than it does now.
It is expected that 10000 boxes of
fruit will pass through the house
this season; nearly this much is con-
tracted for. The Taylor Brothers
will supply all of the crates. The
wrappers will all be printed and
ready by the opening of the season.
The brands adopted by the associa-
tion and for which wrappers are be-
ing printed, are: First grade, Univer-
sal Brand, no emblem; second grade,
Jewel Brand, with a diamond ring
for the emblem; third, Bobolink
Brand, with bob-o-link sitting on a
twig. These three brands of oranges
in years to come will help to "make

the disaster that put Charlie Hunter

OCALA's PACKING HOUSE

Next to Jake Brown is the big, new

with galvanized iron, and is 80 by
100 feet, and very lofty inside. The

LOTS OF WHEELS FOR KNIGHT
AND LANG

Continuing our way on up town we
passed the huge az" shaped building
formerly used by the Ocala Iron
Works, which is partially filled with
wagons and vehicles belonging to
knight & Lang, which firm is using
IL as a warehouse. That part of the
building not filled with vehicles is
taken up with crates of the Ocala
Manufacturing Company, which nev-
er seems to have made and stored
quite enough crates to satisfy it.
The Ocala Manufacturing Company
is by far the largest manufacturing
business and employer of labor in the
city, and we believe the largest in
the county that is being operated at
present. Few of us, even here in the
city realize its magnitude. The plant
covers 10 acres of ground, and there
is little spare or waste space, and
its feed bill for mules alone is a
thousand dollars month, nearly all
of which is bought here, when, as now
there is feed for sale.

close by, the big crew of the factory

the line, away past the big ice factory

long string of freight cars loaded with
pine saw-logs, the veneer mill and
saw mill was cutting the logs into
lumber for crates and baskets. While
in the true sense of the word the
company does not operate a saw mill
it cuts great deal of lumber for
its own and other uses. Then there
are long sheds of veneer material dry
ing or seasoning. The cold storage
rooms are ready for the curing and
storing of the great crop of Marion
County pork, soon to begin coming
in, and which Mr.. Taylor says will
be heavier than most of us think.

FIRST YEAR OF WAR

The first twelvemonth of fighting
between the Russians on one side and
the Austrians and Germans on
the other is story of great changes
OF fortune, both combatants being re-

the greatest resiliency In defeat and
soon to resume the offensive In a most
surprising manner.

the pendulum swinging strongly

Vienna and Berlin, but Just at pres
ent he Is on the whole in worse plight
than In any hour since the war
started.

has had between 2,500.0 900 and 4.000,-
900 men killed. injured and captured
Despite these horrible gaps made in
