MARION COUNTY MILK
In Demand to Supply Ice Cream Fac
tory of Jacksonville

The Purity Ice Cream and Dairy
company of Jacksonville is making an
investigation to ascertain what guam
tity of milk can be obtained in Mar
ion county. The company is in the
market for 1000 gallons of whole
milk day, and is making a survey of
the state to find out what quantity is,
or will be available. If the supply of
milk to be obtained warrants it, spe.
cial milk cars will be put in service
to transport the milk to Jacksonville.
Mr.. Bernard Thyson, manager of
the Purity Ice Cream and Dairy COM
pany, DR.. L. R. Lang, manufacturing
and extension expert of the company,
and Mr.. A. P. FAINT, assistant indus
trial agent of the Seaboard Air Line,
are here today to find out what pos
sibilities Marion county holds out to
them in the way of milk supply. The
representatives of the Purity COM
pany are this afternoon conferring
with Mr.. z. C. Chambliss. L. R.
Trammell, secretary of the board of
trade, will also assist the visitors in
any way he can.
DIR. Lang, formerly with the Uni
versity of Illinois, will have charge
of developing the field of supply for
the Jacksonville company. If the out
look in this county appears favorable,
he will return to Ocala in a few days
and get in direct touch with the farm
ers and dairymen.
The Purity company is now getting
most of its milk in the territory be-
tween Jacksonville and Tallahassee,
and it is being taken into Jacksonville
in refrigerator cans in the baggage
cars. The Seaboard is having a milk
car constructed for that territory,
however, and it will shortly be placed
IN service.
Mr.. Thyson said today that his
company was thinking of starting a
milk car down about Dade City, and
running it through to Jacksonville,
picking up milk en- route. Whether or
not this plan will be carried out de-
pends on the Investigations to be
made by DR.. Lang. If as much as 500
gallons of whole milk, with four per
cent butter fat, can be obtained to
start with Mr.. Thyson believes that a
CIR can be placed in service.

BIG SHIP CHANGED
HER BERTH
German Liner Willehad Trying to
Make Voyage from Boston
to New London
ASSOCIATED Press)

Boston, Aug. 24.-The North Ger
man Lloyd liner Willehad, which has
been here since the war began, slip
ped out of the harbor this morning,
presumably for New London, Conn.,,
to which point she cleared. Officials
of the line denied reports that the
Willehad was going to New London in
connection with the expected arrival
at that port of the Bremen, and de-
clared she made the change because
of cheaper dockage.

kowina, was little known outside of
Russia before the present war. In
fact, it was not until 1914 that he was
given command of an army corps. His
work in the war won him promotion.
He is almost the only one of the many
prominent social figures in the army
who has made good.
General Brussiloff is SO years of
age, but looks more like 45. He is
alert and modern. He has dark,
searching eyes and none with high,
commanding curved bridge, and a
square jaw. His hair is close cropped,
and he wears long thin gray NOUS
tach.
It was General Brussilof who COM
manded an army in the first Carpa-
THAN campaign when the Russians
were ready to pour down into Hun
gary but were forced to retreat for
lack of ammunition. Unlike many
Russian generals, Brussiloff had the
advantage of an excellent education
and began army life in fashionable
cavalry regiment. Ability and in
fluence combined to make his advance
ment rapid. He held many positions,
was recognized a favorite at court,
distinguished himself as a daring
rider, encouraged cavalry officers to
go in for polo and cross-country
steeplechases and was popular in
Petrograd society. Then came the
war to try out the capacity and char
acters of men. Brussilof was one of
the studious, professional type of Of
ficer who came to the front and made

ty would have good farms able to feed
good stock. Farmers would be anxious
to own shares in community creamer-
les and feed mills. Each neighborhood
would own dipping vat. Every far
mer would have something to take to
market, consequently would be crying
for good roads and able to pay for
them. 0cala would be obliged to pro-
vide packing houses and canneries to
care for the surplus products. But as
these are not the conditions, unless
they have good, fat pocketbooks, he
advises them not to come, and they
take his advice. And Marion county
continues to hold her stumps and
wiregrass.

Of the season.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis Winston, of
Ocala, have rented Mrs. S. P. Car
sons cottage for month. Mrs.
Whitfield, Mrs. Winston's mother, will

Miss Sadie Tillman, of Valdosta,
Ga, accompanied Miss Eloise Henry
home from Tampa last Saturday,
where they had just concluded a
pleasant visit to Miss Geraldine Ball
and Miss Lou Harvey. Miss Tillman
and Miss Henry will spend Thursday
in Orlando, where some of their
friends from Tampa are going to
take part in the golf tournament.
Some of the older residents of Lake
Weir will be panied to hear of the
serious illness of Mrs. John Rudolph,
of Clarksville, Tenn. Mrs. Rudolph
spent her girldhood on the lake as
Miss Mamie Turnely and frequently
visited her sister, Mrs. Edgar Eagle
ton and brother, Mr.. Davis TURNKEY,
Of Dade City, after her marriage and
residence in Tennessee.
The many friends of Mr.. John
Pasteur and family, will regret their
removal to Martel, where they viii

Mr.. N. w. Harrison has bought an
additional rs acres and added it to
his home farm. His new purchase
runs down to Bower lake and includes
some very rich muck land, which he
is fencing and clearing for spring
crops. He is starting a blooded pig
farm on the old Comstock place, which
he purchased sometime ago. He will
keep only fine stock in enclosures and
raise all the forage right on the farm
where he has demonstrated this sea-
son and made great success of corn,
peanuts, dasheens and chuffas. He has
has material on the ground to build
four three room cottages for his farm
help, near the cemetery. Mr.. Harri-
son is very enthusiastic over the pos
sibilities of Lake Weir and has shown
splendid courage in the past year or
two in erecting one of the finest
homes on the lake shore, this side of
Jacksonville, at a cost of between
twenty and twenty-five thousand dol
lars, complete from garret to cellar
in every detail. The house rests on
IA solid concrete foundation with a
basement fifty by one hundred feet
under the entire house. The walls are
of four thicknesses with a stucco out
side finish. Tile and hardwood floors,
with three bath rooms, water all
through the house and grounds, wired
for electric lights as is also the dock
and garage. Mr.. Harrison sees no
reason to doubt if we have better and
more attractive homes on the lake
why we can not become as famous as
Palm Beach and st. Petersburg.
