MUNICIPAL ELECTION AT McIN-
ToSH

While the big election was going
on in New York City that created ma
tion-wide interest, similar election
was being conducted at Mcintosh, but
the excitement was less intense be-
cause there We're no fusionists, no So
cialists, no mugwumps-just nothing
at all but old line, old-time democracy
of the Hylan stripe.
Mr.. Tilly Hickson, for the third
time, was elected mayor, and Messrs.

Fort Mccoy, Nov. s, 1917.

Fort Mccoy, Nov. s, 1917.
Special to the Ocala Banner:
The people located along the Ockla
waha Valley railroad have been given
just twenty-five days. advance notice
that the said railroad would cease op
Grafton at midnight November 80
1917. and it is the general understand.
ing that the rail is to be taken up and
sold Immediately after that date.
This railroad has been in operation
about nine years, and during that time
seven towns have been located along
the line Altogether about one thou
sand families and several industries
are depending on it for the means of
transportation.
1t might be well to add that the
Ocklawaha Valley railroad and the
Florida Farm and Home Land Co.,
Inc, are owned and controlled by the
same concern Ga New York corpora
tion). This corporation used the rail-
road as an advertising medium in in
ducing people to purchase land from
them, and now that the land is prac-
tically all sold they intend to discon-
tinue operations and sell the rail,
leaving the people helpless and finan-
cially ruined.
We appeal to the state and all peo-
pie who believe in justice to use their
influence in protecting our interests,
and if possible to offer some induce
ment to other lines to take over the
road before the rail is removed.
We have been robbed and betrayed
by these New York parasites, and
surely there must be some law that
would prevent the removal of the rail,
at least on so short a notice.
If this dastardly outrage is allowed
to terminate, no one in the state is
safe in undertaking business propo-
sition, especially If they are located
on a small road.
The enormous profits which are be-
ing realized from steel rail- encourag-
es these super-patriots to hide behind
the American flag, and leave one
thousand families nine miles from the
nearest railroad without means of
support.
At present the government is max.
ing frantic efforts to stimulate the
food production, but as far as this dis
trict is concerned, we win not be able
to supply ourselves with the necessi-
ties Of life If this merciless injury is
forced upon us.
It is true, no doubt, that the railroad
is not making much money, but it has
been woefully mismanaged in the
past, not by our resident officials. but
this heartless corporation who simply
used it to mislead prospective set
tiers,
The great majority Of our people
own their homes. and most Of them
are old folks too far Advanced s.

the state, which was badly stricken
by drouth last season. A scarcity
of hay and roughage for cattle has
resulted. The office of the Public
Safety Commission has been appealed
to by many farmers who dislike to
sacrifice their cattle for the lack of
hay. Farmers in sections of the
state where straw is plentiful will
find a ready sale for baled straw and
the Public Safety Commission will be
able to secure a market for it at rea-.
sonable prices for anyone who de-
sires to do his "bit" along conserva-
ton lines by baling surplus straw
and thus making it possible for farm
ers less fortunately situated to pro-
vide for their cattle through the win
ter.
Baled straw will bring a good price
in view of the almost prohibitive
prices of hay in many section of the
state.

WORKING IN THE NAME OF THE
CHRIST CHILD.

Some thirty years ago there lived
in the city of Washington young
girl, the daughter of Richard T. Mer-
rick, distinguished lawyer, says
the Survey. A serious injury, due to
an accident, had left her an invalid,
confined to- her couch. The Christmas
season was fast approaching and amid
the preparations for the holidays,
which the happy family were busily
making, this young invalid, reared in
luxury, conceived the desire of cloth
ing in the name Of the Christ Child
some poor babe who was to come in
to the world in poverty. She made a
simple but complete layette, sent for
friend who she knew could find the
very mother who needed such assist
ance, and one small child was clothed
in the name Of the Christ Child.
The Christ Child, society, founded
27 years ago, distributed 139 layettes
last year. Not one request has ever
been refused to an applicant indorsed
by it's visitors. And from this has
developed the material relief depart
ment, which clothes and shoes chill
dren, furnishes fortnight's outing,
brace Tor crippled leg OF a DOOk
from the library. There are no reli-
gious qualifications. Active members
contribute definite number Of hours
work each week, and anyone may be,
come a member by promising to an
swer the Christmas letter of poor
child. Washington numbers 1000
members, and there are more than
$500 in all, including the branches
in % cities.
From her couch, where she has lain
for more than 25 years, Mis- Mer-
rick directs and leads all the soci-
ety,s work.

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo
on Wednesday informed Congress-, in
his annual report, that $5,128, ,203,
793 must be provided, in addition to-
funds from taxes and bond issues
already authorized, in order to make
estimated receipts for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1918, equal disburse-
ments. The total amount Of securi-
ties to be issued in the next seven
months is estimated at $9,969, ,433,
$50, If this deficit is met by q new
issue Of bonds.
The estimated excess Of disburse-
ments over receipts for the next fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1918, is ST.
627, ,973 800. The huge war expendi-
lures and loans to the Allies at the
rate of $500, ,000,000 month have
made these estimates many times
larger than ever presented in Sec
retary of the Treasury's annual re-
port.
So far the nation has borne the
financial burdens of the war well,
says Secretary McAdoo, owing to
normal business conditions and the
valuable aid Of the established Fed
eral Reserve System. I'm the fu-
ture, however, increasingly greater
habits Of economy must be developed
by individuals and business institu-
tions. the Secretary declares, and
"business as usual" can not be adopt
ed as the guiding motto of the war.
People must save and invest in gov
ernment securities to avoid postpon-
ing victory.
With this admonition Secretary Nc
Adoo proceeds to cite the enormous
figures of government receipts and
expenditures which are the fruit Of
war times.
Total estimated receipts for the
current fiscal year are S12,580, ,732,-
| 800, which, with balance in the
Treasury last June 80 of 81 ,066, 1885,
361, makes a total of $13,647, 49, ,161.
Most Of the receipts, or $8, ,686, ,000,-
900, are from sale of bonds and war
savings certificates; ordinary receipts
are S., 1886, 0,000, largely from war
taxes; and the Panama Canal income
| is $1,000, 900.
Ordinary disbursements are esti-
mated at $12,316, ,295, ,228; loans to AL
lies in the year at S6,115, 900, 900;
public debt disbursements at 1921,
OOO,O 900, and Panama Canal expenses
$23, ,593, 900, making total estimated
disbursements $18,775, ,919,955.
