ANOTHER INDUSTRY
FOR OCALA

Time to Care for the
Spring Crop

Ocala will have canning factory
in time for the early spring vegeta-
BILE crop, according to the statement
of Mr.. H. A. Shaver at the Star Of
flee today.
Mr.. Shaver came here from Whites
burg, Tenn, some ten days ago to
look over the situation, and after con-
sulting with many of the farmers
near the city, has decided to con-
struct a plant here. While he has not
yet secured all the contracts for veg
etables that he desires for his first
seasons work, he has sufficient to
warrant him in going ahead with his
canning plant.
Options have, been secured on sew
eral sites for the factory, and while
Mr.. Shaver has not yet definitely de-
cided where it will be located he is
at present in favor of splendid piece
of property convenient to the rail-
roads in North Ocala.
Mr.. Shaver has several local men
Interested with him in the construc-
ton of the plant. He is at present
connected with two canning establish
ments, one in Virginia and another in
Tennessee.
The seasons for operating here
would be in the early spring and late
fall months. In May and June the
Ocala plant would be utilized for can
ming tomatoes and beans, while in the
fall months it would be devoted to
making peanut butter; jellies and
marmalades and canning sweet pota-
toes.
Mr.. Shaver leaves today for Ten
nessee to return the early part OF
February to begin construction work
Any farmers or truckers that would
be interested in contracting for q
quantity Of vegetables for the concern
may get all information they desire
by calling on Mr.. J. Fl. j. Counts al
his place of business.
The plant will give employment te
upward of eighty people during the
four or five months it is in operation
and will be quite an addition to oul
industrial development.

ASSASSINATION OF
OLD MAN AVERY

Says the Gainesville Sun regarding
the murder that recently came to
light in that city:
"A story of treachery, brutality and
fendish cunning was unearthed here
Tuesday when the droppings, the rub
bish and the loose dirt of manger
was raked away, disclosing the body of
F C. Avery. Wrapped in one of the
blankets he used to protect his below
ed horses and buried in a stall the
body was found.
"The spectacle was one of the most
gruesome ever seen in this county.
The skull was battered and the heart
almost cut in two by knife wound.
The brutishness of the act beggars
description.
Old Man Avery
"Avery was in many respects an un-
usual character. He was seventy-one
years of age, yet was as spry as many
men of half that age. He drove his
own horse-had driven him in lot
races and was winner in 104. The
last race was won at the Alachua
County Fair, where he took second
money, and would have gotten first
easily but for the fact the other driv-
ers pocketed him and kept him there
to the end of the race. The old man
took it good naturedly, thorough
sportsman as he was, declaring that it
was all in the game, and that he
should have looked out for that in the
beginning. He loved his horses more
than many men love their families,
and it was perhaps this trait that con-
vinced the officer that it was impossi-
bic for him to absent himself from
them for so long time without direct
communication with some one other
than the darkey, with whom it was
known he was not on the best of
terms"

GERMAN Loss PUT AT 5000. 900.
Paris Makes This Estimate From
f Casualties In Ten Regiments.


Casualties In Ten Regiments.
Par@.An oficial note issued by
the French press bureau declares that
the German losses since the beginning
Of hostilities in killed. wounded. sick
and prisoners reaches the enormous
total OF 100000 men, This calcuIa-
tion is based on the known casualties
In 10 German regiments.
Analysis Of the German losses dur
ing five months In 10 regiments taken
from army corps on both the eastern
and western German fronts shows a
total Of 36,281 officers and soldiers; !;
that Is, an average per regiment Of 725'
monthly" says the note.
Applying this percentage Of losses to
the entire German Army. including the
landwehr. la2dgtru-n. new formations
and marines, the deduction is made
that the total German losses during
the seven months OF the war must ex-
ceed 10000
