"ALCOGAS"
Florida Man Has Invented New and
Powerful Auto Fuel
(Fort Lauderdale Herald)

fort Lauderdale Herald)
The experiment made in Miami last
Tuesday with Alcogas proved a won
derful success.
Charles Abbey who is the inventor
made the demonstration at the Buick
Garage, using new Buick six-cylin-
der car. The car was cold but was
Immediately and easily started.
Mr.. Abbey claims that Alcogas is
more powerful than gasoline and will
run car as far per gallon. 1t is made
out of the green corn stalks which at
the tasseling time is high in sugar. He
claims it can be made for So cents per
gallon. In his opinion 109 gallons can
be made from one ton of corn stalks
and the 'Glades can grow 40 tons to
the acre at one planting.
There is no carbon in the Alcogas
and besides it will not freeze as easily
as gasoline, therefore it would be
practical in the north.
Mr.. Abbey makes his experiments in
Davie, where he has laboratory.
The people of Broward county are
much interested in his work and we
hope he soon will make some arrange
ments to manufacture the gas at Da-
vie.
We understand he has several par
ties in trested and no doubt something
will develop in the near future.
At all stages the Alcogas is poison
Gus and cannot be used for any pur-
pose but burning, therefore it avoids
| all government revenue according to
Mr.. Abbey's statement.
We await developments with much
interest.

SOLDIER BOYS WANT
AN AUNT SAM
Their Uncle Isn't Always as Good as
They Want Him to Be

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
Laredo, Nov. 14.-The election is
over-so is pay day-the latter being
the most important, to soldier. With
what a soldier makes he can afford
one "big night" every other pay day,
and this was the "every other"
Company A is guarding the inter
national foot bridge and the railroad
bridge. Captain Drake, in command
of the first platoon is looking after
the foot bridge. Lieuts. Campbell
and Marsh are in command of the Sec
ond platoon at the railroad bridge.
The only thing here that looks scary
is a big graveyard over in Nuevo
Laredo. It's all white (painted white)
and from its size there seems to be
more dead Mexicans than there are
live ones. Mexican soldiers are as
scarce as white elephants.
On warm days one would think the
Rio Grande was some popular bath
ing resort, as many Mexicans are
bathing here all hours of the day. If
they used bathing suits they would
dry the river-so all of them battle
minus. A cold wave hit Laredo yes
terday and the thermometer register
ed SO degrees.
The boys on guard here at the rail-
road bridge have palace to sleep in,
2 10x12 room, with a coal heater in it.
There are only ten here. Mr.. Cracker
Boy" Thomas is on the bridge now, his
teeth playing "Home Sweet Home"
If Uncle Sam doesn't hurry up and
fix US up for winter, the boys are GO
ing to petition Aunt Sam to use her
influence on him. Maybe he viii sit
up and take notice, since so many of
her nieces are voting. The women are
a soldiers best friends.
A soldiers life is one of expectation
and disappointments, mostly disap-
pointments. We are expecting to be
back in Florida before Christmas, but
it looks as if we will have to add one
more disappointment to our list. If
Thanksgiving wasn't so near we would
expect to be thankful the last Thurs
day in this month Tho we viii miss
turkey and cranberries, we will be
glad on that day.

BROKE GROUND FOR
A 100000 BUILDING
SPINNING MILL WILL HAVE UP-TCDATE AND COMMOD|OUS
STRUCTURE AT CORNER OF SOUTH FOURTH
AND MAIN STREETS

Ground was broken this forenoon
for Ocala's new hundred thousand dol
lar spinning mill.
For several months George Giles &
company have been negotiating with
eastern capitalists for capital with
which to open spinning mill in this
city. Saturday the deal was closed
and what has been a prospect is now
a reality.
Contract has been let for the con-
struction of two-story brick build
ing 75x175 feet at the corner of
South Fourth and Main streets, which
will be occupied by the new spinning
mill.
Mr.. Booth, who for several years
past has been superintendent of the
Ocala Knitting Mills, returned Satur-
day with the final details for the new
concern, and will have charge of the
interior construction work and plac-
ing the machinery.
Work on the excavations for foun-
dations began early this morning, and
already wagons are seen hauling rock
for the work. All the building ma
terials have been contracted for and
will be put in place as rapidly as pos
sible as the new company is desirous
of starting the machinery at the very
earliest date possible.
The new building will be just south
Of the Ocala Knitting Mills property
and will face Main street.
While the same interests that
operate the knitting mill be be back
of the spinning mill they are two esp
arate corporations. The new mill will
employ upward of $50 people, which
means that Ocala's weekly payroll will
be considerably advanced.
While the principal material used
for the spinning mill will be short
staple cotton, it is the intention of the
company to use a large quantity of
long cotton for its high grade threads.
This means that great portion of the
long cotton that is now being grown
In Marion and adjoining counties will
be manufactured into cloth right here
in Ocala.

BETTER THAN
EVER BEFORE
PROSPECTS ARE BRILLIANT
THIS YEAR FOR THE BIG
INDUSTRIAL PARADE

That the industrial parade will this
year prove to be an even greater
feature of fair week than it did last
year is becoming very evident. A
petition signed by 25 citizens ef Lake
county has been received, asking that
the date of the parade be changed
from Wednesday to Thursday, in
order that the people of Leesburg and
Lake county in general might have
q better opportunity of witnessing
the procession, Thursday being
Thanksgiving day and holiday.
Unfortunately, it will not be pos
sible to make a change in the day of
the parade at this late date, as much
as the parade committee would like to
accommodate the good people Of
Lake. Wednesday was named as the
day for the parade, because it was
found that parade held on Thanks
giving morning would interfere with
the services in the various churches
in the city. The committee is hoping
that the people of Lake will attend
the fair on Thursday in spite of the
parade being held on the day before.
Thursday is always a big day. and
this year the fair promises to exceed
itself in many respects.
The petition from Lake county was
forwarded to Ocala by Mr.. Max NJ.
Fishel of Leesburg, an Ocala boy who
does not forget his home town.

CRITICISMS ON THE
PANAMA CANAL
GIVEN A CAUSTIC BUT EFFEC-
TUAL ANSWER BY NAL
GEN. COCKTAILS
ASSOCIATED Press)


Washington, Nov. 19.-Sharp Ian
guage is employed by Major General
George W. Goethals, governor of the
Panama Canal Zone, in replying to
published criticisms of the big water
way which he charges have seriously
affected its commercial rating In his
annual report, made public by the war
department, the governor declares
that the earth movements which have
frequently interrupted traffic through
the canal finally will be overcome for
all time.
General Goethals goes into
lengthy review of the geological prob
lens which have been encountered, Of
the steps taken to overcome such OBJ
stacles and the measure 70 success at
tanned. So far as the Culebra cut is
concerned, he said, ''the worst is over,
the intervals between movements are
becoming greater and the quantities
of material less"
The report replies to the published
statements Of Professor Benjamin Le-
Roy Miller of Lehigh University, and
former Senator Thomas Kearns OF
Utah. The charges made in each case,
General Goethals brands as "erron-
eous, unwarranted and unfair It is
shown in the report that during part
of the fiscal year 1916 during which
the canal was opened, AL vessels
passed from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc and 376 in the other direction. Of
all these, only 81 were engaged in the
American coast-wise trade.
The total cargo tonnage handled
was S,140,046 as against 4,969, 1872 the
preceding year, although the water
way was in operation for only five
months last year. Commenting upon
the reduction in coastwise traffic
shown, however, the report says It
was due principally to the scarcity of
ships for foreign trade which drew
American coasting vessels into that
service.
Difficulties of the present system Of
levying tolls are recited and General
Goethals again recommends that legfs-
lation be sought making the earning
capacity of ship the basis upon
which charges should be computed.
He points out that s2,399, $50 were col
lected in tolls during 1915. Had the
so-called Panama Canal Rules applied
in measuring the ships, he adds, the
sum would have been increased by ap-
proximately s40O, 900.

appeared divided however as to
whether it would be followed by
