COTTON PLANT NOTES
Special Cor. Ocala Banner:

Special Cor. Ocala Banner:
There has been since our notes of
last week quite a change in the tenn
perature. The nice rain we had Sun
day night was followed by considera-
BILE frost Tuesday morning, nipping
tender vegetation. 1t is likely there
will be several more frosts during the
month, and while they may not do
much damage it would be we'll to pre-
pare for them.
Quite large crowd attended st.
Johns Sunday school last Sunday, and
someone remarked that the school
was growing in favor with the people
of the community. This is as it should
be. If all in reach of the church would
attend every Sunday the exercises
would be more interesting, and we
would ali feel better by having spent
the time studying Gods word.
Misses Faye Beck and Carrie Bar
co attended the entertainment given
at the close of Homeland school last
Friday night, and the one given at
Fellowship school house on Saturday
night, motored to Ocala Sunday after
noon in company with Messrs. Jess
Strickland and Henry Parker, and
then were entertained on Tuesday
night by Mrs. Newcomb BarcO. Surely
these girls have had a round of pleas
ure.
Mr.. a. w. Woodward and son, Clar
ence, were business visitors to Ocala
last Monday.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. r. Veal and Mr..
and Mrs. Newcomb Barco motored to

last Monday and attended the big
show at the theater
Homeland school closed last Fri
day and Cotton Plant school closed
last Tuesday, and the teachers, Miss
es Floy McCully and Faye Beck, have
returned to their homes at Berlin.
The people of these two communities
will miss these young ladies and St.
Johns Sunday school will have two
less in attendance.
Mr.. C. r. Veal and family were aft
ernoon guests of Mr.. and Mrs. w. T.
Strickland last Sunday.
Mr.. C. r. Veal attended the regular

ROONEY

Jefferson Davis Rooney died Mon
day morning at his home in Ocala. He
had been i'll many weeks, but we
know he bore his afflictiOn patiently,
for if Florida possessed more perse-
vering, forbearing man, we do not
know him. Mr.. Rooney was one of the
best known development workers in
the south. but his chief aim the major
part of his life was the advancement
of Florida civililly and industrially.
AS assistant industrial agent for the
Seaboard Air Line railway he did a
great deal of good work for this state,
and after giving up that office he con-
tinued in the work under board of
trade auspices, and lastly in advanc-
ing the lime industry, one of Flor
ida's greatest but now little developed
resources. Mr.. Rooney may have had
faults but if Florida had q few more
men who would do half as much boost
Ing for her as this man did Ter gr0WJh
could not be computed il figures. Mr..
Rooney was agent for one OF the rail
roads here while Plant City was a vii

STATE SEEKS UNIFORMITY
 IN VACATION
Time Off Is Cut So That First Year Workers Will Be Limited to an Outing
 of Ten Days This Year

The vacation season of the attaches of the state offices, those over which the governor and the commission Of state institutions have control will be considerably shortened this year. Sec retary Christy of the commission late ly addressed the governor on the sub ject and yesterday the following reply was sent:
 August 3, 1917 My dear MT. Christy:
 Replying to your letter of July 3l. requesting me to make a ruling gov erning summer vacations in this office, and inquiring what period of leave is granted each of the employees and my opinion as to the relation of the term of vacations to the term of service, l would beg to inform you as follows: Insofar as my authority as governor goes, I believe that it will be for the best interests of the state departments that ten days vacation per annum be allowed those serving their first year under state employment For those who have been employed by the state over one year, the second years vacation should be fifteen days. This will be the practice in this department.
 w fllIe l nave no JurfSulcllO1 ONei several of the departments of state, l should be pleased to know that the rec concentrations set forth above might be made uniform, to avoid natural dis content on the part of those in the de- partments under my administration, in consideration of longer vacations granted by the others.
 It appears that, at present. in all de- partments under the state of Arizona, a fortnight has been the minimum va cation allowed and in most cases 90 days has been granted to employees.
 Sincerely,
 fSigned)

 EROMLONG TRIP
County Engineer States that Journey to Coast With
 Machine Is One of Big Hardship Because of Rain

Finding consolation in the fact that Arizona is not the only place where the roads have been washed out, liar old Bargman, county engineer, stated yesterday that he had experienced nothing but bad roads on his motor trip from California. From Ludlow to Phoenix the entire road is washed out. Despite the road conditions the en- gineer made the trip from San Fran cisco in three and a half days and did not have to change a tire on the way Bargman stated that his desk would keep him at his office until the first of the week when he means to begin campaign of repair work. He wilIview valley roads Monday and take the nec essary steps to put them in good shape.
 q would not advise anyone to start coastWards in their cars" said Barg man. "There is trouble ahead for those contemplating trip of this kind. The roads are washed out all through the line-the Black Canyon to Prescott. the Wickenburg to Prescott, the Palo Verde, Caliente, Parker cutoff, the road to Florence everywhere road con- ditions are deplorable. l cannot esti- mate the cost of repair work until go over the field which l will do at the earliest possible momnt."
