FUTURE MATERIALS.
Products Necessary to Our Industrial
Development.

The United States consumes about
sixteen pounds of copper per capita
per annum; Africa and Asia a frac-
ton of pound, says D. NJ. Liddell,
in the Engineering Magazine. Can
these people rise to our standard OF
use? Obviously not. Or shall we
descend to theirs? But what can we
vaguely see for the future of our in
dustrial development? A substitu-
ton of ceramic products wherever
metals can be replaced. A marvellous
growth of the aluminium industry.
An age of steel succeeding the few
centuries of many metals, as of old,
the age of iron followed the age of
bronze. A closer attention to pre-
ventable metal wastes. A certain
dignifying of the junk man. Wars
for the possession of newly discover
ed or not yet exhausted mineral de-
posts to which only the present con-
flict will be comparable. Indeed
may not the present war be to con-
firm title to the iron ores of Lor-
raine and to secure at least a pre-
emption on the iron and coal re-
sources of Belgium, Luxembourg and
France?

Dad, Here's to You!

We happened in house the other
night, and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in letters of red,
what is Home Without a Mother?"
Across the room was another brief
God Bless Our Home!"
Now, what's the matter with "God
Bless Our Dad?" He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg, and
wipes off the dew of the lawn with
his boots while many a mother is
sleeping. He makes the weekly
hand-out for the butcher, the grocer,
the milk-man and the baker, and his
little pile is badly worn before he
has been at home an hour.
If there is a noise in the house
during the night Dad is kicked in the
back and goes downstairs to find the
burglar and kill him. Mother darns
the socks, but Dad bought the socks
in the first place, and the needles
and the yarn afterwards. Mother
does up the fruit; we'll, Dad bought
it all, and jars and sugar cost like
the mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sunday
dinner, carves them himself, and
draws the neck from the ruins after
everyone else is served. what is
Home Without Mother?" Yes, that
is all right, but what is home with
out a father? Ten chances to one
it is a boarding house. Father is
under the slab and the landlady is a
widow. Dad, here's to you; you've
got your faults-you may have lots
of them-but you're all right, and
we'll miss you when you're gone

CONVENIENT AND CHEAP
Importance of Jitney Line to People
of Ocala Can't be Over
estimated

The Importance of having d jitney
line to Silver Springs, Lake Weir and
Orange Lake is not to be easily over
estimated. These beautiful bodies OF
water have been pointed to as this
city's principal sources of recreation,
providing bathing, boating and fishing
for the people of the city and for the
tourists. Yet up to this time there has
been no convenient and cheap means
of getting to and from Silver
Springs and the two lakes.
Charles H. Nash Jr. said this after
noon that the Seminole Motor Bus
company had complied with the re-
quirements of the city, and was ready
to begin the operation of its jitneys
Test trips were made to Lake Weir
and Silver Springs yesterday after
noon and to Mcintosh this morning
The route that the jitneys will run in
the city, and the schedules to be main
tanned between Ocala, Silver Springs,
and Lake Weir have not been definite
y determined. The company expects
to begin making regular trips on
Monday. Mr.. Nash said that the Nc
Intosh run had not been decided on as
yet, but was being figured on.
Trips will be made to Silver Springs
tonight, leaving the courthouse square
az 2, s and 8 o'clock. Tomorrow trips
viii be made to the Springs every hour
from s a. m. to 10 p. m. Many of the
Seaboard picnic party win probably
take advantage of this. To Lake Weir
the bus will make trips tomor-
row, leaving the square at 8 a. m. and
5 p. m, and on the return, leaving the
lake at $50 a. m. and 6:30 p. m.

SEVEN HUNDRED
DOLLARS SHY
City and Railroads Almost but Not
Quite Get Together on the Union
Station Site

j. G. Murchison, division superin-
tendent of the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad, told city council yesterday
lafternoon that his road was ready to
make liberal contribution" of ST.
900 toward moving the union station
from its present site to the Masters
property. AS the estimate, made by
the contractor for the station and the
engineer of the Seaboard Air Line, for
the removal amounted to 5,4O0, the
proposition made by the Coast Line
falls $700 short of covering half of
the cost of moving. It was evident
that there would be another delay be-
fore reaching a final decision in the
matter.
President Nash, of council, said
that he had received a bid of $500
for the moving of the station from G..
K. Williams. Mr.. Williams, President
Nash said, would move the building
from its present location and place it
on the Masters property in exactly the
odtiiS OOiiuiLlOi IL HUW 10. his CoLl-
mate was 81 900 lower than that of
the contractor and the Seaboard engi-
neer, and the question was raised as to
whether the contract could be given to
Mr.. Williams.
At the instance of Councilman j. j.
Gerig, T. w. Parsons, division super
mtendent of the Seaboard Air Line,
who was present, was asked by council
to wire w. L. Sedden, vice president of
the road, to find out whether con-
tract with Mr.. Williams would be
agreeable to the Seaboard and to the
contractor for the station.
President Nash was given authority
| to handle the matter with Mr.. Par
sons, and to obtain authority from the
railroad commission for the removal
of the station once arrangements are
made with the railroads. Should it be
necessary, it was agreed that Presi-
dent Nash call council in special ses-
| sion again.
Mr.. Parsons, who had suggested
taking the matter up with Mr.. Sedden,
left for Tampa last night, having
lagreed to wire the vice president.
| At 8 o'clock this afternoon Presi-
dent Nash had not heard from Mr..
Parsons.

SECOND REGIMENT
IS SEASONED
lTimes-Unionl

Parade in the afternoon by the
First battalion, in command of Major
John w. Blanding, and an eleven
mile hike in the morning by the Sec
ond battalion, Major v. B. Collins,
were the principal events at state
camp grounds yesterday, where the
Second Florida infantry is modified
awaiting orders to proceed to the
Mexican border.
The regiment is showing great inn
proyement, being now a far different
outfit from the green command which
went into camp some three weeks
ago. 1t is gradually being seasoned
and disciplined, and if it gets to the
border, it is destined TO make far
better showing than many other out
fits, which have already arrived there
for border duty.

Reported

Baltimore, July 14.-Indications to-
day were that the Deutschland will
speedily be on its way back to Ger
many. Rush orders have been placed
for three hundred barrels of fuel oil
and preparations are being made to
take on a cargo of nickel and rubber.
When the last case of dyestuffs was
unloaded, the Deutschland showed an
additional four feet above the water
line, and this revealed that the boats
dimensions have been exaggerated.
Her width is less than twenty-five
feet, and her length not more than 250
