MAN MADE
A GASOLINE RECORD

| A number of economy tests made
with Maxwell cars have recently been
called to the attention of the public
These were made in different sections
OF the country, but we now have the
opportunity of acquainting you with
one made few days ago by a Max
well owner close to Ocala.
Mr.. B. F. Harvey, circulation man.
ager of the Athens (Ga.) Herald,
started out on a trip from Athens on
May 10th en- route to Nashville, Tenn.
He made the trip from Atlanta to
Nashville in thirty-six hours, stop
ping in that town for couple of days.
On his return trip, which took him
by way of points in Alabama, he had
his tank filled with gas at Gunters-
vile, and travelled from there to Gads-
den, stopping at the latter point, and
considering the fact that he had a
long journey before him, made an eff
fort to again fill the tank, but to his
surprise, found that. it would hold
just one gallon. Upon inquiry, he
learned that the distance he had COW
cred was fraction over forty miles.
The total distance covered by Mr..
Harvey on this trip was 996 1-3 miles;
the gas consumption 1914 gallons;
oil consumption one gallon, which
brings the actual figures down to
about 29A miles to the gallon of gas
oline, and practically 1000 miles to
the gallon of oil. One of Mr.. Har-
vey's statements in a letter to the
Maxwell factory written regarding
his trip reads as follows:
Considering the condition of the
roads traveled-numerous grades and
many instances very muddy regard
this as a most remarkable record"
K. r. Carroll, the local representa-
tive of the Maxwell car, is very proud
Of this record.

MAxWELLs DO MOVE

R. R. Carroll, the Maxwell dealer
for this part of the world, let two
more Maxwells go today, selling
roadster to Fire Chief Chambers and
the boys of the department, and
five-passenger car to Rev. R. E. Mood
of Inverness, Citrus county, making
the 9th car of the 1916 models Mr..
Carroll has placed in. his territory.
The way the public is appreciating
the Maxwell car is most gratifying to
the dealer and the fact is brought
home most forcibly that the Maxwell,
the best car for the money in the
land, when advertised as Mr.. Carroll
has advertised it in his territory, is
going to sell.

grees. assembling parts of watches,
clocks, motorcycles, Fords,, etc., all of

into neat little car which may be
said to be cross between racer and
a motorcycle. This little car was seen
on our streets today for the first time,
darting in and out among other ve-
hicles in quite lively manner. 1t

0CALA CAPITAL
DIGGING OIL

Tho Lowing from the Scottsville
KY, Times tells of the work being
done by the Ocala Oil Company in Al
len county Kentucky. The said COM
pany consists of Messrs. E. A. Os-
borne and R. o. Huntsman, of Ocala
w. H. McRainey, of Wildwood, I. A.
Hampton of Floral City, Walter Ray
of Martel, and w. E. Baxley, of In
verness:
Through the courtesy of Mr.. R. O.
Huntsman, manager of the Ocala Oil
Company, the writer recently had the
pleasure of making trip through the
Rodemer oil field.
A quick run by automobile out the
Jackson Highway brought the party to
the railroad crossing, three miles south
of town, where the first well was
drilled in the Rodemer territory. This
original test well was the work of
local capital and owed its existence
to the initiative and the persever-
ance Of Earl G. Huntsman. It was
sunk three years ago, and, with an
other well put down near by a little
later is still being pumped. A pump
house and storage tanks stand beside
the railroad.
A quarter Of mile down the rail-
way track is the little station of
Rodemer. Here two sidings have been
put in since the oil field was opened.
The first one, spur accommodating
two cars, the Ramble Creek Oil Co.
had to build at its own EXPENSE.
Later, when the Missouri ri-minded L. &
N. had been Shown" it laid a siding
holding II or Is tank cars. Some
times both tracks are filled with cars,
loading, at one time.
On tall hill, $50 yards back from
the switch, are three storage tanks,
the property of the Good Luck and
the White Plains oil companies. Their
combined capacity is 1900 barrels;
and, as the railway tank cars hold
from ITO to 100 barrels each, it will
be seen that these reservoirs, when
full, will loan ten of the largest
transportation tanks. 1t is quick
work, the oil flowing by gravity thru
tnree-inch pipes.
Less than 100 yards away is one
Of the oddities of the field-one of
the earliest wells drilled, which failed
as an oil producer, but stands full of
salt water.
Proceeding a short distance up the
track from the Rodemer, the visitor
is made aware, by other evidence
than the pipes alongside the railroad
and the all-pervading order of crude
oil, that there is something doing"
nearby. Through the wood bordering
the railroad on the west, comes
medley of sounds-the snappy exhaust
OF engines, the creak of pumps and
the dull, jarring thad of drills deep
down in the earth. Passing through
the narrow skirt of timber, one enters
open land, and finds himself in the
midst of busy oil field.
Mr.. Huntsman conducted the Times
man first over the workings of his
own company. Here, on 12-acre
lease, the Ocala people have seven
producing wells. No. z had just been

INSTALLING CEILING FANS

Franks Store, one of the most pop
ular drygoods houses in Ocala, is in
stalling several large ceiling electrical
fans for the comfort of the stores
customers and clerks during the hot
months. The fans will not only great
ly reduce the temperature of the store
but will keep away the flies to great
extent. Franks Store always keeps
abreast of the times in goods and
equipment.

SMASH LINE TWICE
FOR A DISTANCE OF
THREE HUNDRED YARDS

The Germans are throwing large
masses of fresh troops against the
French lines northwest of Rerdun.
Twice in the last twenty-four hours
the French have been compelled to
give ground. The weakers point in the
French line seems to be in the neigh
borhood of Cumieres, between the vii
lage and Dead Mans hill. The Ger
mans dented this line for distance
OF more than 500 yards in the third
of a series of violent assaults yester-
day. Last night they returned to the
attack with Fresh divisions.
Paris admits the French were fore
ed to retire slightly along the Bethin-
court Cumieres road. The German
attacks here were apparently equalled
IN violence along other sectors west of
the Meuse. According to the French
war office the Germans were unable
te gain elsewhere. Artillery fire in
the Fort Douaumont region east of the
river is reported.
Balkan advices show a continuation
OF bulgarian activity along the Mace
donian front. The Bulgarians are re-
ported massing additional forces near
the Greek border at Novrokop and
1anthia. Along the Vardar river the
advance lines are being bonn
barded
A Rome dispatch through Paris de-
clares that neutral diplomats hear the
Bulgarian advance through Greek
territory was due to a secret agree
ment between Greece and Bulgaria.

MEkDENHALI MOVED
Famous Prisoner Has Been Taken
from the Ocala Jail to the State
Prison Farm

In charge of Captain Tom Bridges,
J. j. Mendenhall left this morning on
the A. C. L. $40 train for the state
prison farm at Raiford, where he will
enter on his life sentence for the
murder of Eusie Eliot, near Clear
water last summer.
Mendenhall was neatly dressed and
looked well. If it hadn't been for the
handouts, which the considerable
Captain Tom" made as inobstrusive
as possible, nobody would have sup
posed he was prisoner. He talked
pleasantly with the few who recogniz-
ed him at the station. He said he
was glad of the prospect of going to
work in comparison with the tedium
Of Jail life. At the same time he said
that Sheriff Galloway, Jailer Chalker
and all others he came in contact with
here had been very good to him, and
he was grateful for all their kind
ness.
Mendenhall has been model pris-
oner. He is a ine-looking man with
much personal magnetism, and people
who come in contact with him are
naturally inclined to treat him we'll
He is only about 45 years old, and
looks young, and if he is pardoned
out in ten years, as he probably will
be, he will still be able to make much
out of life.
The story of Mendenhalps crime is
well known. In company with Miss
Eliot and her mother, in car driven
by Guy Semple, he left Tampa one
evening in July. Late that night
Semple stopped men on the road near
Clearwater and told that Mendenhall
had made murderous attack on the
two women and he had fled for his
life. The sheriff on Pinellas county
was notified and going to the scene
found the ruins of the car and the
charred remains of the women. Be
fore daylight, Mendenhall was arrest
ed at his home in Clearwater, and has
DCNh q P1loOlCI ONCI SlIlCGs
Mendenhall was tried at Clearwater
and found guilty of murder with
recommendation to mercy. Conse-
uqently, he was sentenced to prison
for life.
On the stand Mendenhall told
feeble story in his own defense. Said
Miss Eliot shot herself and her moth
er, and that the chauffeur set fire to
the car and the bodies of the two
women in order to shield Mendenhall.
No one acquainted with the char
acters in the tragedy supposes that
Mendenhall committed cold-blooded
murder. He had been intimate with
Miss Eliot, and she probably demand
ed more from him in return than he
was able to give. 1t is most likely
that going with her and her mother
on the ride, intending to give her all
in his power, he was driven frantic
by her demands and killed both wom-
en-. Then he set the car on fire in the
vain hope of destroying enough clues
to give him a faint chance Of ac-
quittal. The story he told on the
stand seems ridiculous, but it is pos
sible proof that in spite of his crime
considerable honor remained in him.
He could easily have told story that
would have put the chauffeur in bad
light, and might have shiffad tbo
blame to his shoulders. Menaenhall
did not have the heart, or rather he
had too much conscience, to do this;
consequently, he tried to save himself
without charging Semple with q grave
crime.
