BOARD OF TRADE

There was a very good attendance
upon the meeting of the board of
trade last night. The board of trade
will endeavor, through our members
IN Congress, to secure of the govern
ment aviators for an exhibition dur
ing the Marion County Fair, Nov.
27-3O.
The president was authorized to
name committee of ten to visit the
Orange Springs Fair, which will be
held Nov. 21-23, and consult the in
dividual exhibitors with view of
getting them to bring their exhibits
to the Marion County Fair. The sec
rotary was authorized to assists the
fair management in any manner pos
sible that does not interfere with the
work of his office.
Mr.. D. C. Stiles Jr. expressed the
opinion that if we would make an
other effort, he thought it possible
that we might build packing plant
In Ocala. He suggests a different
method of handling the matter than
that employed the last time. This
important matter was taken up, and
the meeting was unanimously of the
opinion that we should again under
take the building of packing plant.
Mr.. Stiles was appointed chairman of
a committee for this purpose and he
is to select the members of said
committee to work with him on the
proposition.
Mr.. R. Simmons, formerly of
Statesboro, Ga, but now residing
here, was present at the meeting and
spoke at length on the Importance
OF building a cotton warehouse in
Ocala. He said that he had been of
fered ninety-year lease on a site
on the railroad, by the railroad COM
pany, and that it would only cost five
or six thousand dollars to erect the
warehouse. Mr.. D. E. McIver spoke
at length regarding the advantages
of such warehouse, citing one or
two instances. of his friends having
placed their cotton in the warehouse
at Gainesville and being allowed to
draw cash receipts on the cotton
stored IN the warehouse, (which are
honored by the banks the same as
checks. 1t was brought out in the dis
cussion of the matter that the farm
ers In the northern part of Marion
county carry a great deal of their cot
ton to Gainesville because of the adj
vantages afforded at the warehouse.
A meeting will be called in the near
future to organize and get funds to-
gether to build this cotton warehouse
in Ocala. It is an important move
for the town and every one interested
In the Improvement of conditions
here is requested to lend support.
These things are essential for the
welfare of Ocala and must be attend
ed to.
The Atlantic Coast Line trains will
be stopping at the union station at
the time of our fair, and last night
motion was adopted that we request
the A. c. L. to allow its northbound
trains No. 10 and No. 40 to stop at
the old depot during the fair for the
convenience of those wishing to at
tend the fair.
The board of trade is your local
business organization and it is in
cumbent upon the business men of
this town to get behind the new in
dustries and support them. It was
brought out in Statements last night
that If We erect cotton warehouse
IN oeala, and build packing plant
here, there won't be a vacant house
and homes to "give away very long.
so lets change things so thew will he
that way.

For the last three years, passenger
traffic on the railroads, on account
of the increase in autoes, has been
diminishing. The war may change
this, as it is within the possibilities
that the government will require so
much gasoline that the use of the
auto will become much restricted.

Willingly Answers Questions.

A message sent to police headquar-
tiers by Navy Department officials
brought quick response. The two de-
tectives. having a good description of
Tanos, went to a hotel and found him.
Tanos willingly accompanied them to
Inspector Grants Office and willingly
answered questions asked him.
Discussing his life with the police
and federal officers, it is stated, Tanos
said he was born in Budapest of French
parents. He came to this country sew
eral years ago and took out his first
papers. but neglected to complete his
naturalization papers until after a
lapse of seven years. Then he re-
newed his effort and followed it up
until he received his last papers, so
that he is now an American citizen.

Typical Oldtime Comedy.

"A Night OFF, is typical of the quaint
nineteenth century comedies, with
their asides and soliloquies. and like
many of the classics of that period
is capable of modernization and adap-
tation to the stage of today Because
it is typical of the transition in the
drama from the plays of the type of
Sheridan's classics to the plays of to-
day it is unique.
The story is woven around the
quaint character of Prof. Justinan
Babbitt and his venture into the field
of drama. Marcus Brutus Snap.
travelling transformer" of the old
school, comes to the little college
town in which the professor is lead
ing quiet. uneventful lifeA and the
two conspire to produce a Roman
tragedy which the professor wrote
when a student at college.
The play abounds in humorous sit
uations, through all of which the pro-
fessor and Snap lead each other
merry dance. The last act finds the
characters satisfied with the efforts of
the professor and the play ends with
the professors realization that he has
lived a second youth and Snaps ap-
pointment as manager of the Drury
