OCALA'S NEW PLANT WILL
SOON BE IN OPERATION

The machinery in the new light and
water plant is now all in position, and
it only remains to get everything ad-
justed and in running shape. The
massive engines and generators seem
to be performing their functions.
Superintendent Caldwell and Chief
Engineer Mckenzie are now on the
job all the time familiarizing them
selves with the machines and it is
thought that the plant will be ready
for final inspection and acceptance by
the middle of the coming week.
AS soon as the current is turned on
from the plant one of the steam en-
glnes from the present plant will be
moved to the new building as an aux
iliary to the new engines.
When the machinery started yes
terday several of the councilmen, a
number of citizens, the contractor and
city engineer were on hand to see the
results of the first trial. So far as
can be seen the plant is in perfect
shape, and when properly 'tuned up"
will give Ocala one of the best NUM-
cipal plants of any city of her size.

MARION COUNTY'S
SELECTED MEN
CHOSEN To UPHOLD THE HONOR AND MAINTAIN
THE SAFETY OF THEIR COUNTRY
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, July 21.-With ten
million men on the selective draft list
i'll the order of liability for service,
the government today began the task
OF preparation for determining who
may be exempt. This work will be
done largely by state organizations.
The drawing of the last number
took place at 2:18 o'clock this morn
ing with only one error so far as is
known. One capsule contained a
blank. Whatever number should have
been in place of the last blank was
the 1004th capsule drawn.
No small part of the countrywide
success of the lottery was played by
the Associated Press, which practical
ly gave over all its leased wires to
notifying the people who were drawn.
In reporting the numbers to the
boards the government will provide
special lists with high number
which do not apply to any given dis
trict cancelled. No attempt will be
made to furnish list for every dis
trict as every one is different, which
would mean more than 4,500 separate
lists. The men may be appearing
before the local boards within ten
days.

MARION COUNTY FARMS
ARE IN DEMAND

There is considerable inquiry among
the real estate men for farms in Mar
ion county and especially near Ocala,
and several large trades are now un-
der way. The great demand for farm
crops, the bumper crop this county is
producing this year and the prospects
for farm products going higher and
higher for several years to come and
the steady increase in demand for all
food stuffs, is going to turn the atten-
tion of hundreds to farming who have
not engaged in that pursuit before.
1t is the psychological time to
buy farm lands for they will soon be-
gin to advance in price.
