STREET TRIMMING
AND IMPROVEMENT

The trimming of the shade trees
along the streets of the city is a good
move and as far as we have seen,
Street Superintendent Marsh is doing
the work with some care and system,
saving off the limbs carefully and
painting the stumps to keep decay
from setting in. The streets look
better, the electric lights at night will
now throw their light from one cor
ner to another, the light, wind and
air can circulate and the city will be
better for the work. Shade is one of
the finest things in this climate, but
it can be overdone and the growth
become too luxurious, and an annual
trimming of the trees is really ne
cessity.

Editor Star: A rumor has reached
me that the Marion Ice Cream and
Bottling Co. was not intending to
open up. This is an injustice to the

several weeks getting in touch with
all conditions as well as number of
our farmers, arranging for a good
supply of milk and cream. Mr..
Gardner, his partner, just arrived and
the machinery has been ordered. In
a personal interview there gentlemen
assure me of their surprise at hear
ing such a report. They are going
right ahead and due notice viii be
given of their opening day when our
citizens, both men and ladies, viii be
invited to come and inspect one of the
most up-to-date and modern plants in
the state, making a speciality of vel
vet ice cream and Mo-Cola. Thi:
should ease the minds of those who
were in doubt.

Inverness, Fla, Jan. Ia, 1915.
Mr.. r. L. Anderson, Ocala, Fla:
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 23rd
ult was received. You failed to an
swer my inquiry. desire to say that
if you refer to me, that you, R. L..
Anderson, are just a plain, common,
ordinary liar. / have always spoken
plainly, and have never dealt in gen
eralities, as you seem to be afflicted
with. AS to the matter in controversy
between US, l am willing to let the
people who know US both be the final
judges.
| will answer your questions to-
gether, and say that / prepared for
the grand jury the article of which
you complain. l know of no public
official who planned or conspired with
the grand jury in connection with
same. / consider the payment of just
taxes and assessments for public
improvements a patriotic duty, and
have always responded to same very
freely.
I have always contended that the

authority to investigate the larceny
of a court file or paper, as that of th'
larceny of a horse or a COW, and al

not make any difference who tn,

THE CHERO-COLA
BOTTLING WORKS

The Chero-Cola Bottling Works of
Ocala will be opened and ready for
business In a very short time. Mr..
r. E. Layton and Mr.. w. n. Lane, of
Arlington, Ca, have been in the city
for several days and are only await
ing to get to work. They will appear
before the city council Tuesday night
and ask to be allowed to lease the
city market that has been abandoned
as market and is now empty. It is a
fine brick building with cement floors,
admirably situated and arranged for
their purposes. If agreeable, the gen.
tlemen will take an option to pur-
chase the building when their lease
expires, or before.
The Chero-Cola Company will be
incorporated for $4,000. The ma
chinery for the plant is practically all
here, except two or three small pieces
| that can be secured inside of a week.
The company has In both depots
| lot of the finest and most modern
bottling works machinery that has
ever been shipped to Florida and will
be adequate for the needs of the
Ocala plant for many years to come.
The company will use electric cur
rent entirely to operate its machin-
cry. 1t will bring to Ocala ten peo-i
pie. The families of the gentlemen
who are already here will come in
short time, together with two other
families. They will employ a number
Of local people, both white and col
ored
In the delivery of its goods, wagons
will be used by the company in the
city and automobile trucks for the
out of town points, the more distant
places being reached by railroad IA
cilities. The company has large
territory and a splendid contract COW
ering the heart of the state. In adj
dition to Marion county, it has part or
all of the counties of Levy, Citrus,
Lake, Sumter and Orange and has an
option on Alachua county.
If the market building can be Sc
cured the company will open its plant
inside of thirty days, but if another
building has to be used that would
probably require some remodeling, it
may be little longer before opera
tions will begin.
! The company, while making spe-
cialty of Chero- Cola, will bottle all
the popular soft drinks. It's people
are experienced and practical and
know what they are about. An ex-
tensive advertising campaign will be
put on, and one of the experts from
the factory will assist them in
launching their advertising campaign.
The promoters of the company do
not ask any financial assistance of
the city, but do want and will appre-
ciate the moral support and coopera-
ton of every one, and will jump into
our commercial world and help to
make Ocala grow.
The Star hopes to see the gentle
men satisfactorily housed in a very
few days so that they can begin in
stalling their machinery and get
ready for business. They will be val
J liable additions to Ocala's citizenry
: and new citizens with new money,
ideas and businesses are what we
; want.

pie Growers and Business Men Con-
CluSiOnS Drawn from Studies

The approaching lecture of Charles
Coolidge Parlin, of Boston, Mass,
manager Of the division Of commercial
research of the Curtis Publishing CO.,
is already attracting a widespread in
terest among the fruit growers of the
valley, and 1t is very likely that large
audience will be present Saturday sf..
ternoon at the Commercial club rooms,
when Mr.. Parlin will give an outline of
trade conditions. The lecture will be
at 2.30 o o'clock.
The lecture has come about through
correspondence between the Curtis peo-
pie and W. II. Paulhamus and Ii. F.
Davidson. An outline Of the topics
Mr.. Parlin will touch on in his address
and brief report of recent activities
Of the Curtis division OF research may
be obtained from the following extracts
of letter received from the Pacific
coast office of the publishing company
by Mr.. DavidsOn
THE Curtis Publishing Company's
division of research. of which MIR. Par
lin is the head, is an organization Of
trained economists who undertake
fundamental investigations of the ma
both for our benefit and the public
good.
'The most recent Investigation, in
fact just completed, is of food prod
ucts. MIR. Parlin and his associates
have been working for more than a
year in this investigation, during which
time they have travelled more than
35, 600 miles, and the expense attendant
upon the production of this report has
been something like $40,0 900.
"Mr. Parln is, we believe, one Of
the best posted men on trade conditions
in the United States.
''The present conditions and probable
future trend of the fruit business are
matters with which Mr.. Parlin is con-
versant. We believe it would be Of
hear Mr.. Parlin's views.
''ln closing wish to tell you that the
Curtis Publishing Company established
an office OH the Pacific coast some two
years ago with intent Of becoming a
part of the business life of the coast
and the northwest.
1--WE have been, and are, very much
interested in the apple business and it's
development.
"As an organization we have unusual
facilities for research and investiga-
tion, to which may be added some 30
years experience in helping producers
define their selling and publicity prob
lens.
Whatever experience and facilities
we have which will be of value to the
individual or collective apple interests,
we desire to place at their disposal.
Would be very glad to have you
take the matter of MIR. Parlin's meet
ing your prominent apple people under
advisement.
