SHINING NIGHTS FOR
THE OLD SOLDIERS
In Honor of the Veterans, Ocala's
Public Square will be
Illuminated

Superintendent Caldwell of the
electric plant and his assistants have
been busy preparing for extra lights
on the public square during the nights
the Confederate Veterans are in the
city.
To begin with, eight new arc lights
are being installed in place of the
four now ON the square. They will
take the four places now occupied and
four in between. These eight lights
are new style of lamp, and though
much brighter than the old ones will
take far less current in proportion.
The lights that have been in use are
each of 500 {candlepower, and burn
500 watts each. The new lamps are
of 600 candlepower, but take only 300
watts each.
The courthouse square is to have a
border of 8-candle incandescents
strung all around it. There will be
in the border eight arches-one at
each side and one on each corner. The
globes on the arches will be blue, the
others red and white.
The fair arches across Broadway
and Magnolia, which have been re-
newed, so during the nights the Vet
erans are in the city the square will
be such a blaze of light as has never
been seen in Ocala before.

army, and Walter L. Scholz, who

MUCH BETTER OUTLOOK
FOR TURPENTINE Men
Prices of Naval Stores Climbing to
the Level of Prosperity

We clip the following encouraging
news from the Times-Union:
Theve is more than silver lining
about the clouds which have lowered
over the future of the naval stores
industry in this state for the. past
several years. Gradually increasing
prices have been the case for the past
several days, and there IS every oc-
casion to believe that conditions now
are far better than before the great
international conflict began IN Europe
the early part of August, 1914.
The most notable case of the naval
stores men in this state seeing a re-
turn of "good times'' came with the
price quotations Of yesterday. Spirits
turpentine was quoted at 53A cents
per. gallon, against price Of 81
cents below this just before the out
break of the European war. Water
white rosin" was put on the boards
of the local exchange yesterday at
$50, against 5.85 year ago. Betsy"
or the lowest grade of rosin, was
quoted at 4.6O yesterday, as against
3.55 and 3.65 one year or more ago.
Favorable Every Way
It is stated that the market is bet
ter than it has been in over two years.
The failure of certain companies
some years ago at a time when they
were handling the product of the tur-
pentine farms, seriously crippled the
industry. 1t was hoped that the mar
ket was on a sound basis just before
the outbreak of the European war.
At that time the United Kingdom of
Great Britain declared that turpen-
tine, rosfn and cotton were contra
band of war. This Immediately had
sitting effect on the trading Of
naval stores.
Florida can boast, it is stated of at
least 81 per cent of the available
naval stores supply in the new world.
Owing to this fact the Stocking up"
of the market within the last few

States Inspection
At the last session of the Florida
state legislature a bill was passed es-
tablishing an inspection plan for
naval stores products. This was sign
ed by Gov. TrammeIl and became law.
This inspection process has been as
saulted, however, in the United
States court, but it is believed it win
stand the test and generally aid in
making Florida's naval stores pro-
ducts the standard of the whole world.
It is also said that there are 3
number of companies who are amags-
ing large stock Of spirits and rosin.
As soon as conditions are favorable
for marketing in the markets of
Europe, it is believed that an unpre.
cedented era of prosperity viii ensue
here.

The Saturday Evening Post COM
ments on the fact that the president
hands man a slip of paper, and
forthwith he becomes endowed with
most remarkable and ~ versatile
talent. The individual may have
been known among men for over
twenty years without raising a pre-
sumption anywhere that his mental
capacity, when applied along the
lines Of his greatest experience, was
miraculous. Yet, without any pre-
vious training, study or experience,
he is capable of managing the gov
ernment's fiscal machinery, with an
annual turnover a third as big as the
railroads, or he can participate in
directing the country IS banking
system. In conclusion The Post
says: "Of course this is the Jack
sonian ideal-that public business is
essentially so simple that one honest,
sensible person can do it as well as
another; but it is in odd contrast to
the anxious search for specialized
talent and experience that goes on
in every other field OF human en-
deavor. > f.5
