SERVICE FLAG
(Ocaleean Ensign)


Our Service Flag has been sub
ject of much discussion among the
High School pupils for the last three
weeks.
1t was proposed at first to give ev-
cry person in the high school who
had a brother in service the privilege
of having a star on the flag. There
are some boys in the High School who
have gore into the service, who have
no sisters no brothers to represent
them; and it is thought better BY the
majority of the students to let each
star represent only those who have
graduated and who have gone from
the high school instead of letting it
represent the immediate family.
In taking al those who have grad
uated, there will be a great many
stars on our flag; and we ask Mr..
Cassels to think about this and to see
If he does not think that would be the
better plan.

was introduced by Mr.. w. T. Gary.
The standing audience then sang one
verse of the Star Spangled Banner,
after which the O. H. S. Gleei Club
led by Miss Margurete Porter sang
a flag song and another equally beau
tiful and patriotic song composed by
Major Woods, which received first
prize when competing with hundreds
of others.
The lecture was very interesting,
ard was thoroughly enjoyed by the
audience without exception.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING

What is a board Of trade good for?
Now every thing man or woman
knows the benefit that a town or city
derives from board of trade, that is
run on a business basis. Now unless
everyone in 0cala and Marion county,
is interested in the board of trade,
and puts their shoulder to the wheel
and help to make it a success, what's
the use? You can't expect for just a
few of the merchants to carry on and
maintain such an organization unless
they have some cooperation from 9TH
ers who are benefited.
"A board Of trade is an organiza-
tion that is maintained by every town
and city that is up-to-date and pro.
gressive, and for Ocala, to lag behind
with its board Of trade, is not only
doing Ocala and Marion County al.
injustice but we should be ashamed of
ourselves to allow other cities to pro-
gress and profit by such organiza-
tions while we lag behind.
The regular meeting wi4l be held
Friday. night, February 9th at 7:30,
and we invite every member, every
man and woman of 0cala and thru
out the entire county to attend this
meeting. We want to get better or
ganized and with your assistance the
board of trade, in Ocala, will, and will
be put on basis that will keep Ocala
and the county before thousands of
people and by doing this we get peo.
pie to our town. Now gentlemen
don't, stay at home and take it for
granted that your friend will be at
the meeting and can answer for you,
for he can't. Your presence and yours
alone is depended upon. Don't forget
be at the Board Of Trades Friday ev-
ening, February the 9th, at 7:30.

It is utterly impossible to answer
all the letters reaching my Office re-
garding the new ruling on the sale of
wheat flour. / have arranged to fur
nish all papers of the state the de-
tailed rulings for publication during
this week. These will give in detail
just what is expected of the whole
sale and retail grocers of Florida. /
wish to advise all retail grocers tina.
in event they are not explicitly in
formed on the new ruling. that they
should get in touch with their jobbers
or wholesalers, who through their
statesmen will give all information re.
garding these matters.
One question that has arisen and
has called for much correspondence is
that relating to retail sales to farm,
ers. / wish to say that all farmers
who have grown their own cereal
substitutes, giving such evidence in
writings will be entitled to purchase
-four from the retailer in the quanti-
ties set forth in the order. This in.
depreciation applies only TO the farm
er or producer, and in no case should
retail grocers sell to such farmer
any quantity of -four in excess of the
rule laid down, which restricts sales
to rural consumers to one-quarter to
one-half barrel.
All retailers are urged to closely
watch the papers of their respective
communities during this week for d
full Interpretation of the rulings.
