THE Mo-coLA COMPANY IS BUSY

The Marion Bottling & Ice Cream
Company, Messrs. H. H. Gardner and
R. E. O'Farrell promoters is now
down to business and will begin at
once getting its building, No. 10 West
Fort King avenue, in readiness to re-
ceive the modern machinery which is
rolling backwards from Chicago.
The gentlemen have associated with
them Mr.. E. F. Newport of Eastlake,
one of the substantial citizens of the
county, who has been merchandising
at that place for many years. Mr..
Newport will dispose of his extensive
interests at Eastlake and move to
Ocala and take an active part in the
management of the company's busi-
ness.
Mr.. J. A. Turner of Chicago, with
his family will soon arrive in Ocala,
as will the family of Mr.. Gardner from
Mobile. Mr. Turner is an ice cream
manufacturer of many years exper-
fence, will have charge of that part
of the company's business and with
every facility of machinery and
knowledge at his command, will be
able to manufacture high grade of
ice cream, enough to supply all of the
wholesale trade of this part of the
state.
The main business of the company,
however, will be the manufacturing
of Mo-Cola, for which popular cola
drink it has the exclusive agency for
the entire state east of the Chatta-
hoochee river, both for bottling rights
and the manufacture of the syrup.
The business of the entire state will
be handled by it, all of the sale of
goods and establishing of sub-agen-
cies. The syrups will be manufacture
ed and barreled here, and shipped to
the local bottlers and fountain dispen-
sers all over the state.
Another big feature of the COM
pany's business is its state agency for
the celebrated Vionana Company of
Dayton, O., manufacturers of ex-
VI oCCoJ Oy1uPo 1lQ'
which high grade goods will be used
in the manufacture of the company's
own products and jobbed to the deal
ers and dispensers throughout the
state by its travelling men.
Men will be kept on the road, trav-
cling for the company, placing Mo-
Cola in the hands of the dispensers,
selling the extracts, etc., and the
product of its ice cream factory.
The company has the state agency
for the Wise Soda Apparatus Com
pany of Belleview, Ohio, and expects
to do quite little business with the
soda fountain operators of the state.
The company's plant and factory,
when in operation will be model of
neatness and sanitation. The ma
chinery is the very latest and best
that can be had and experts will
handle it and get the best results.
The Marion Bottling and Ice Cream
Company will be in operation within
thirty days.

REMoDELING YoNGE BLOCK

Mr.. Harry Booher, the contractor,
commenced work today with a force
of men on the big building owned by
Mr.. r. E. Yonge on Fort King ave-
nue.. The building will be changed
entirely and instead of containing
four suites of offices with waiting
rooms in the front, will be converted
into two neat stores with a liberal
frontage and plenty of depth. There
is more demand for this character of
rental property than there is for Of
fees on the ground floor.

The Curtiss Publishing Company
thinks a good deal of Mr.. L. F. Bal
lard, who handles its publications ex-
tensively at this point. A meeting
and banquet of all the newsdealers
who sell Curtiss publications in the
South will take place in Atlanta Jan.
26, and the company is so anxious to
have Mr.. Ballard attend that it has
offered to pay all his expenses. He
hasn't decided whether he can go or
not.

The editor of the Daytona Journal,
who was private secretary to Con-
gressman L'Engle for some time in
Washington City laughs to scorn the
statement in Dixie that Congress
man Clark is zone of the biggest and
most influential men in Washington" /"
The Journal editor furthermore says
that Mr.. Clark is ''unft to represent
any district in Florida or any other
state" Strong language, that
Lakeland Telegram.
Language that the Journal should
not print unless it has absolute proof
to back it up. Seems to the Star that
Mr.. Clark is making good represen-
tative and in usefulness and influence
is in the first rank of congressman. II
the Journal has any proof that he is
unfit to represent his district, the
people of this district have right tc
hear it.

President Wilson's statement in his
message that this country had not
neglected its defense, and was not un
prepared, was reassuring; but in view
of statements of army and navy Off
cials, who undoubtedly know what
they are talking about, of scarcity of
ammunition, short range of coast de-
tense guns and several other things,
added to the undisputable small size
of the army and deficiencies of the
national guard, some people are
tempted to think that Mr.. Wilson may
be in the same class with Napoleon
H., who believed the French army
was ready down to the last coat
button in 1870.

The shipping bill which the admin
istration favors may be all right, but
how is this attempt to push American
trade in South America going to JUS
tify with President Wilson's express
ed determination not to protect our
citizens who have trouble in Mexico.
No telling what time Venezuela, Co
lombia Ecuador or Peru may erupt
into revolution, and if such a thing
happens any American citizen in the
affected country knows that the Unit
ed States, as long as Mr.. Wilson is
president and Mr.. Bryan secretary OF
state, will not lift its hand to rescue

SOLD A FARM
TO SCHILLINGHER
Chicago Business Man Will Divert
Himself by Tilling Florida Soil

Mr.. A E. Gervias yesterday sold
his 17-acre farm, two miles west of
town, to Mr.. G. A. Schillingher of
Chicago, a well known cement con-
tractor of that city The farm was
purchased for his son, Mr.. Roy Schil-
lngher, who will reside on the farm
and become a tiller of the soil. 1t is
his fathers intention to come to Ocala
each year to spend part of the win
ter with his son and enjoy our mild
cliamte. The little farm is a splendid
one, has good house and all i'm
provements and with the Chicago
thrift and industry that he will apply
to the soil, the new owner will soon
make model small farm.
Mr.. Gervias, who is an electric de-
vice manufacturer, will move to Ocala
and open the factory that he has been
endeavoring to open since coming to
this section several years ago. In
fact, he had begun the business and
would soon have been manufacturing
on large scale but was burned out
and delayed.

Mr.. Charles Simpson, one of Rhein-
auer's handsome statesmen, has been
cultivating a mustache lately. 1t
makes him look like "Max," the pop
ular and handsome French moving
picture actor, who was killed last au-
tumn while trying to stem the Ger
man invasion of his country. Charlie
will probably take Max's place in the
affections of Ocalans.

NORTHERN VISITORS
AT ANTHONY


Mr.. T. T. Mullins of Washington,
D. c., who is en- route to Nassau and
Cuba, visited his sister, Mrs. n. w.
Meadows at Anthony last week. He
came direct from Montreal, Canada,
where the temperature was 18 de-
grees below zero, and there was 20
inches of snow on Christmas day.
Mr. and Mrs. Meadows also en-
joyed visit from their daughter and
her husband, Rev. w. H. Chapman
and Mrs. Chapman of Brunswick, Ca,
during the holidays. Rev. Chapman
is pastor of a fourishing Presbyter-
ian church in Brunswick. Their many
friends were glad to welcome them
home once more.

The Star thinks President Wilson is
right in his position on the literacy
bill. Healthy, honest people shouldn't
be kept out of this country because
they can't read; and the most internal
rascals in the world are educated men.

And not much thicker.

The Miami Herald, moralizing on
the war, says that Europe, chastened
by misfortune, is becoming better,
while the United States, which will
stack up great riches, will become
luxurious, wicked and corrupt. We
don't know about the wickedness and
corruption, but we wish the stacking
up process would commence.

SOME QUESTIONS
AND THEIR ANSWERS

Editor Star: l read an article evil
IDENTIFY written by the editor, COM
menting on what man could take
out of the world and what he brought
into it, ETC., and mentioning the ply
sicians as doing more for the worlds
benefit than others. The editor speaks
rather disparagingly of Mr.. Rookie
feller, and does not admit that he has
done any good. would like to ask
the Star man what he would have
done without John DIS. oil? Perhaps
he does not need it now, but in years
past / think it has helped him out,
and / would refer the Star man to
the Belgians as TO what Mr.. r. is do
ing now. Seems to be that Uncle
John has about done his share of help
ing along in this little world of ours,
how about it? c. II. Voorhees,.
South Lake Weir, Jan. 10.
Mr.. Voorhees, is quite amusing. Mr..
Rockefeller did not make the oil. The
editor of the Star. can remember read
ing by very good lamp numbc- &C
years before he heard of Mr.. Rookie
feller, whose principal work has been
in the organization of highly syste-
matte trust, which in breaking down
smaller business concerns and cor
rupting public affairs has done more
harm than good. The Standard Oil
trust is an excellent business organ
ization, but the American public
would have just as much oil, and
probably at a lower price, if it had
never been organized. At present,
the Standard Oil Company is trying
to bring about a quarrel (and nobody
knows where such a quarrel would
end) between this country and Great
Britain in order that it may ship gas
oline into Germany. We don't think
Mr.. Rockefeller is bad man-we
think he is as good as the average
but the world could have spared him
and all he has done better than it
could the least of Edison's inventions
or any small advance in medicine and
surgery. We doubt that he ever de-
MED himself anything he really want
ed He preferred to save money
rather than spend; to stick to bust
ness rather than have a good time
he had a good brain for business anc
knew opportunity when it came his
way; so he has built up a colossa
fortune. A part of this fortune il
now being given to good objects, bu
Mr.. Rockefeller is not denying him
self by giving anything he needs
! We do not know Mr.. Rockefeller, s,
we won't say that the fear of hell, O
the hope of buying his way int
heaven, has anything to do with hi
benevolence, but we do say that w
know men and women all around u
that deny themselves more every da
| in helping friends, or unfortunat
strangers, than Mr.. Rockefeller doe
when he gives away ten million do
lars. We heartily approve of tn
system of charity he has founde
helping the Belgians, but larg
number of his fellow citizens who al
not sure of their incomes thirty day
ahead are doing the same thing, an
it is a safe bet that not one of thel
is thinking quite as much of tt
camel and the needles eye as Unc
Johndee.

not merely u technical matter. 1t is
not a matter that the army and navy
alone can take up, but matter in
which We should have the cooperation
of the best brains of the country
