HILANDS HELPED

"Who is w. J. Hilands ?" This is
an oft-repeated query which the Me-
tropolis was forced to answer yester-
day afternoon, following the appear
ance of two original and unique page
advertisements in the Metropolis.
7 hey bore the name of George Mason,
and were dedicated, one to the secre-
tary of war, in appreciation of his
fairness in designating Black Point
as camp site, and the other to W. j.
Hilands, a well-known business man
Of Cleveland, Washington and New
York, who assisted Jacksonville dele
cations enthusiastically when they ap-
peared in Washington in behalf of the
camp fight. w. j. Hilands knows
Washington better than a book. He
is Florida's "third senator" because
he has innumerable friends in Florida
and is by reason of these friendships
always ready and eager to give Flor
ida any assistance whatever when
they are in the fight for anything.
He is big-hearted, genuine friend of
Jacksonville, and while he expressly
requested that he be not mentioned
in connection with the camp at all,
his warm personal friend George
Mason, could not refrain from "giv-
ing praise where praise is DUE" ac-
cording to the words of Mr.. Mason
Jacksonville Metropolis.
Mr. Hilands is well known in Ocala,
where he has large business interests.
He was a schoolmate, and is close
personal friend of the secretary OF
war, and it is well-known that he was
an eloquent advocate of Jacksonville
and Florida.

Senator Trammell is trying to
amend the income tax bill, making
the standard $4,000 for single and
$4,000 for married men. It's the Stars
opip 4on that every man whose income
lis $1,000 a year or over should pay
on his income. That means the writer,
and we are willing to pay whatever
sum the government thinks is just for
us to pay. We would give all of it
except enough to keep US fed and
clothed, so as we could work to earn
it, rather than have Germany win.
The two and three thousand dollar
estimate is not fair either to the gov
eminent or the mass of the people.
Men who make $4,000 year or over
are few in comparison-men who
make $1,000 year or more are num-
erous, and such men can pay one or
two per cent without feeling it, and
if they did they would lessen the bur-
den of indirect taxation on the very
large number who make less than
$1,000 year. This class after all will
have to pay the bulk of the taxes and
do most of the fighting and suffering,
so let their more fortunate fellow
citizens bear as much of the load as
they can.

plenty of good sense. 1t will be well
for Cats to heed him. We are not
among those who rejoice in seeing
the governor make mistakes, because
we know the people have to suffer
from his blunders, and if he would
turn in and give the state a good ad-
ministration during theremainder of
his term we would be very well pleas
ed. We are sorry he did not send Mr..
Burke back to the shades of private
life. However, under the present
law, the state tax commission has lit
tie power, so Mr.. Burke's official
functions will be mainly ornamental.
He may not do any good, but he can't
do much harm.

If Florida had walked up years ago
and gone to manufacturing her own
sugar there would be no need today
for going with an unsweetened cup of

Florida woke, or rather Disston
woke her, over thirty years ago with
an immense sugar enterprise at ST.
Cloud. 1t was allowed to die, but if
a bunch of Florida business men
would get together and establish a
sugar refinery, the farmers would
grow the cane. Jacksonville has big

COOPERATION


A friend sends Us a rather striking
cartoon-a picture of man in a boat.
adrift on a rough sea. The man Is
helpless, for he has lost his oar over
board. The boat bears the name
Community interests" and the oar
floating away from it is labeled "co-
operation" Under the cartoon is the
following pithy advice:
"a community without cooperation
is like boatman WhoN has lost his
oar. You can't imagine a more help
less case Unable to get anywhere,
there is no course but to drift with the
ebb and flow of circumstances. Once
lost, it is hard, indeed, to recover the
oar. But surely we don't have to get
into this dangerous. plight. It's our
own fault if we do. Cooperation, like
rowing boat, must be studied and
learned. And we can only learn it
through practice. The .practiced oars
man never lets go of thu oar. And if
we would keep from drifting we must
practice cooperation. Let's get into
practice and keep in practice. Let us
pull together in everything that
means progress for our home town
It's case of sink or swim together"
The cartoon and it's comment is
quite appropriate to Ocala. We are
in good, seaworthy boat, but we
drift around on the waves because we
don't co-operate-because we have
lost our oar overheard, or rather be-
.sause we never had any oar. It's time
we were obtaining an oar-whittling
one out of thwart, or yelling to the
people in better supplied craft to
loan US one. Unless we do, we are
not going to go anywhere. We will
just drift around in any old direction
that circumstances impel US.

We have received a circular calling
our attention to the fact that Napol-
con, Grant and Washington all. drank
alcoholic liquors. Wonder why the
author omitted Alexander the Great,
who drank himself to death in his
thirty second year. AS for that, Ma.
poleon and Washington were temper
ate men, and tho he may have drank
considerable during a certain portion
of his life, Grant was temperate dur
ing most of his career. Robert E. Lee
and Stonewall Jackson, two of the
most skilled soldiers of history, were
total abstainers.

MORE and BETTER DAIRY HERDS
Dsirying Proftable-Know the Cow
By ]. G. Haney, Agri. Exten. Dept, Int. Harvester Co.
There is perhaps no industry

There is perhaps nj industry in
the northwest that is receiving more
attention at the present time than
dairying. This is shown by the fact
hat in nearly every town there are
being cream stations located, and in
the larger cities great diaries are be-
ing established and worked to capac-,
ity. = t
There is no line Of farming that re-
quires greater attention, and in which
there is, greater opportunity for MAX
ing good profits. It is also true that
dairying, If not intelligently and care
fully conducted, may result in failure.
Dairying is a line of farming that
can be controlled, perhaps more sat
isfactorily than any other. That is, it
is possible to know exactly what the
feeds cost, and also to know the in
ONE that is derived from each COW.
All of the factors entering into sue

of h dairyman. The prices of dairy
products are very satisfactory, and

III making out a ration for a dairy

only what will be required to balance

ability, variety, effect on the health
