REDDIcK IS RILED

The people of Reddick are justly
resentfu1 because the telegraph Office
at that place has been discontinued,
and have appealed to the railroad
commission to have it replaced.
The Western Union says that it will
not pay it to keep up an Office at Red
dick. and the Atlantic Coast Line says
it is not in the commercial telegraph
business, and between these two
stools Reddick falls to the ground.
It is a strange thing that the rail
road can't keep up a telegraph office
at Reddick, when it maintains offices
at Kendrick and Lowell, both smaller
places.
Reddick has been a telegraph sta
tion for thirty years. 1t is the most
important station on the Coast Line
between Ocala and Mcintosh. 1t is
an Incorporated town with half a
dozen or more stores, three or -four
churches, cold storage plant, a pea.
nut products factory, three or four
hundred people in mile Of the sta.

ATTRACTING MANY SETTLERS

Mr.. R. S. Rogers. of the Florida
Title & Abstract Corporation, return
ed last night from visit to Fruitland
Park, Leesburg and Okahumpkee. At
Fruitland Park, the Lake County Land
Owners Association is very busy and
is selling a great many tracts of ex-
cellent land that it has on the mar
ket to northern settlers.
Wednesday night nineteen men
came in from Pennsylvania to select
their tracts, according TO previous ar
rangements. These men will all set
tie on the Marion county side of the
company's large tract, we are pleased
to learn. The company will not take
mans money nor give him deed to
his land until he has come and per-
sonally seen the tract and made the
fullest possible investigation into the
conditions. Also the smallest tracts il
is selling for farms contain forty
acres, less than which amount in this
country it is not wise for a man tt
| farm.
This company has put FruitlanC
Park on the map and has brought Z
great many settlers to that section
who are spending lot of money anC
settling up and developing the eoun

equipment. The people who pay for
lights and power should not be asked
to pay taxes in their electric bills
Times-Union.
There are a great many people in
Ocala who think that the electric
plants revenues and expenses should
be kept separate, and that the excess
of the former over the latter should
be applied to reducing the electric
rates instead of paying other city ex-
penses. Our city dads, however,
think it is as broad as it is long-if
they reduced electric rates, they
would have to raise taxes; and as we
helped elect them to attend to that
business, we have refrained from
adding to their task by any recon-
mendations on the subject.

IsOs-ABRAHAM LINCoLN-1ss5

In little log cabin in Hardin coun-
ty, KY, 106 years ago today was
born one Of the greatest of Ameri-
cans and greatest of men. History
records no man of broader mind or
purer patriotism, nor one who rose
from an humble beginning by his own
efforts to higher place. His life
has set mark for mankind to score
by, and his death by the hands of an
irresponsible assassin was an ire
parable loss at that time to the whole
world, and particularly to the South,
whom his frmness would have pro-
tected and his broad charity brought
many years sooner into harmony with
the Union.

and unrestricted passage through the
high seas and that destruction of an
American vessel might lead to a
change in the hitherto friendly rela-
tions which have existed between the
United States and Germany. Amer
leans in general will highly approve
of this government for making this
statement and will back it up as far
as it wants to go. The United States
has also warned Great Britain that a
general use of the American flag over
it's merchant vessels is liable to cause
complications, and will therefore be
viewed with grave concern by this
government. 1t seems that a British
liner carrying American passengers
and the United States mail, has a
right to the protection of the Amer
lean flag, but this right can hardly
be extended to merchant vessels in
discriminatory.

"While we are talking about our
municipal electric plant" remarks the
Ocala STAR" it is well to remember
that it has not, so far, cost the tax
payers of Ocala a cent. 1t has paid
its expenses and helped to pay other
expenses of the city. 1t has paid the
interest of its purchase money and
steadily reduced the principal" The
Star is very properly pleased
with the way in which municipal
utilities are handled in Ocala and it
is pleasant to note the comment. "As
an experiment in municipal owner
ship the electric plant has been an
unmixed success" adds the Star,
There is one feature of the note, how
ever, that needs to be changed. II

WHY NAVAL STORES
ARE CONTRABAND

Senator Fletcher has sent to the
Star the following copy of letter
sent to him, Senator Bryan and thir-
teen other senator's who tried to have
the ban taken off naval stores. The
letter follows:
Department of State.
Washington, Feb. 6, 1915.
Senators D. u. Fletcher, N. P. Bryan,
and Others:
Gentlemen: Referring to your let
ter of January II, 1915, urging that
steps be taken to the end that rosin
and turpentine be removed from the
British contraband list, and to the de-
partment's letter on the subject of
January 20 last, have now the honor
to advise you of the receipt of a tele-
gram of the End instant from the
American ambassador at London, IN
substance as follows:
The British government states that
it has been actuated only by import
ant military considerations in making
additions of resinous products to its
list of contraband and gives the fol-
lowing explanation:
Spirits of turpentine are the raw
materials of synthetic camphor,
which is chemically identical with the
natural camphor of Formosa. Cam
phor was known before the war to be
used in Germany for the manufacture
of certain gunpowders, and this has
been proved since by the analysis of
the powder of captured German cart
ridges.
j. "Turpentine is also used in the
manufacture of special shells with
luminous fight at night and marked
by smoke in the daytime.
Finally rosin and colophane can be
used for binding shrapnel bullets to-
gether and also in the composition Of
shells and incendiary bombs.
"The addition of the above article:
to the contraband list necessitated the
inclusion of all resinous products al
being their raw material"
Robert Lansing, /.
Acting Secretary of State.

country all around it. 1t has more
people and more business than it
ever had, and it is indeed peculiar
thing that the railroad discontinues
its Office there while maintaining Off
ces in many much smaller places.
The railroad commission at the re-
quest of the people of Reddick and
the Marion County Board of Trade,
has promised to investigate the mat
ter, and it is the Stars opinion that
it will order the telegraph station re-
stored.
The Board of Trade has received
the following letter from the people
of Reddick:
Reddick, Fla, Feb. 8, 1915.
Mr.. J. D. Rooney, Secretary, Marion
County Board of Trade:
Dear Sir: In behalf of the people
at and around Reddick, and for my
self individually, desire to thank
you, and other members of the Mar
ion County Board of Trade, for your
prompt action in passing resolutions,
and doing other work, thereby aiding
us in our plea for restoration of
telegraph service at this place.
And yet, we have heard nothing
from our petition to the board of COM
missioners, or to various letters sent
to the officials of both the Atlantic
Coast Line R.. R. Co. and the West
ern Union Telegraph Co., but feel as
sured that with the pressure of the
petition, and the generous help OF
your honorable body, that the com
mission will soon come to our assist
ance.
Again, thanking you, / am,
Yours very truly,

Indians Name Second Saturday in May

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 1.-THE cleo
ton of officers and the announcement
of the platform upon which the or
ganization will work were to be the
features of the last business meeting
of the conference of the Society of
American Indians today, in session
here since September %.
Complete plans for the first Ameri-
can Indian day, the second Saturday in
May, was proclaimed Friday before
an audience of 1900 wildly cheering
Indians. representing the majority of
existing tribes, by DR.. Sherman Cool
idge, president of the Society of
American Indians, in conference here.
The meeting was held at Haskell in

The society will seek to have the date
set aside a national holiday in hon

will use its influence with the presi-
dent and congress to gain 1t legal
recognition.
The idea of the proposed holiday
originated with Arthur c. Parker, sec
rotary of the Society OF American In
dams, three years ago, and was rati-
fled by the Ohio State university con-
ference in Columbus, Ohio, in 1912. It
has the Endorsement of virtually every
state governor and hundreds of promi-
nent citizens throughout the land. Red

Lawrence, Kan, Oct 2.-Eighty-
four years old, Mrs. Amy ID. Winship,
applied to the registrars window at
the University of Kansas Thursday
afternoon for enrolment in the State
university. Her home is in Racine,
Wisconsin.

Winship. At different times Mrs.
Winship has been a student at a score
of universities. Stanford in California,
Vassar in New York, Texas and Johns
Hopkins have been on her list. She
came here from the University of Wis
consin because she could not find there
certain work that she wanted. She
will probably study psychology,

jects.
When Mrs. Winship first registered
for college work and she was asked
about her preparation, she. replied: 81

taught school at sixteen.
This old-young student received her
inspiration at lecture on psychology

drop in one day and became so inter-
ested that she enrolled and finished
the course.
In her work at the University of
Kansas she will be seated among stu
dents who are just one-fourth her
