A strange bequest was made by a

He left the sum of little more than

stipulated that the money is not to

when the donor estimates it will have
increased to two hundred million dol

MI. and Mrs K A. Burford received
a splendid letter on Monday from
their son, Mr. Sam Burford, who has
arrived in an Atlantic port from his
first trip across seas. Mr.. Burford
is on one of Uncle Sans big destroyers
and is having some wonderfully thrill
ing times plying the seas. He has
made quite a record since attaining
his twenty-frst birthday last June,
and is indeed giving magnificent ser
vice. He is another one of our boys
that is destined to the highest rung OF
the ladder of fame.

COUNTY FOOD ADMINlsT TRAITOR
THANKS MERCHANTS

Ocala, Fla, Sept 6, 1918.
To the Marion County Merchants
Association-Gentle
Please accept my hearty congratu-
lations for your patriotic efforts in
observing and carrying forward the
rules and regulations of the county
and federal food administration in
the conservation of food which has
been so helpful in the nations su,
preme endeavor to supply our army
and navy and tie armies and navies
of our allies with food necessary to
win the war
You are urged not to cease your
efforts in well doing but if possible
to increase them now that tho harvest
season is at nand An increased
consumption of corn, potatoes, rice,
syrup and other home grown food
stuffs will save just that much wheat,
sugar and fats that may be trans
ported overseas for our soldiers and
to that extent will be Marion coun-
tvs contribution in bringing the war
to aspeedy and successful termina-
ton.
AS it is no longer necessary for the
retail merchants to purchase substi-
tutes with their wheat flour from the
wholesaler ] want to urge you to buy
your meal and grits from our own
mills as in this way not only will our
farmers be benefited but the trans
portation of foreign meal and grits
this county will save room for the
transportation of other things that
you cannot purchase at home.
In the name of the federal and
county food administration / again
most heartily thank you for your eff.
forts, loyalty and patriotism
Very truly yours,
Clarence Camp,
Marion Co Food Administrator.

SAYS NORTHERN OUTLOOK
FINE FOR CITRUS FRUl-

1.-THE wages being paid labor in the
north and the returns the northern
farmers are getting for their products
may be taken to indicate another sea-
son Of high prices and unprecedented
prosperity for Florida growers o. cit
rus fruits and vegetables"
This opinion was voiced by F. L.
Shelley, general sales manager of the
Florida Citrus Exchange who with
DR.. ]. II. Ross, president of the ex.
change, has just returned from
months tour of the northern markets.
1t is the result Of conferences with
northern dealers in the fruit and pro-
duce trade and personal contact with
high officials Of the federal food and
railroad administrations.
81 have found the labor3ag and
farm classes receiving compensation
for their work which equals or ex-
ceeds the higher living cost. Many
boys and girls are now receiving
wages which in normal times would
be good pay for an average mechanic
The aggregate purchasing power of
average working families is not very
large; and I believe there is no line
which will profit more greatly from
this increased purchasing power than
fresh fruits and vegetables"
There is every prospect that Flor,
ida fruits and vegetables will be NOV
ed to their destination with satisfact,
Try expedition during the coming sea-
son. There may be some temporary
embargoes against perishable freights
but we have the assurance Of those in
authority that every effort will be
made to avoid these; and plans are
under way to give Florida shipments
good transportation service. 1t will
be necessary however for Florida
shippers to cooperate with the railroad
and food administrations to make this
possible; and the exchange is making
special preparations to this end. With
our complete organization we will be
able to work effectively with the gov,
eminent and thus will eabe to rem
der valuable service to our growers
and shippers.
Exchange fruit has constantly
grown in popularity with
the best trade in the leading markets
and the Sealdsweet trade mark under
which our pack is marketed is receiv-
ing increasing approval from the lar
gest influentiol dealers Our plans
for advertising and work by special
ty statesmen during the coming season
together with the prestige of our uni
form grades and pack and policy of
square dealing gives prospect for
even greater success during the com
ing season than during last season.
when our growers obtained the high
est price they had ever received for
their fruit.
The exchange has contributed its
pro rata of men for army service, but
most of our experienced statesmen are
family men and are with US yet. They
are enthusiastic concerning the sea
sons prospects; and am sure our
growers will not be disappointed in
the character Of service they will re-
ceive from them"

AN INTERESTING LETTER
FROM HARRY r, WATT

Juyly 81, 1918.
Col. R. F. Rogers, Ocala, Fla
Dear Colonel Rogers: AS you can
see by the paper and pencil / am
poorly prepared for correspondence
but we have been so busy lately and
on the move so much that writing is
difficult. AS you have already seen
by the papers we have been doing
lots of things over here the last two
being mixed up in it, and still whole
and sound We feel very proud of the
exploits of the American soldiers and
feel sure the feeling in the U. S. A
| is the same. We have been either
busily engaged in caring for the pa
tents or moving from place to place
for some time now, but today we
are resting. / am proud to belong to
! this division, but it is no sinacure
Since the Siossons-C ampeigne affair
last week the French people can not
be cordial enough to us. / SAT sights
during that time such as have never
seen before and do not care to again,
but probably will have to several
times yet. So far | have missed
none Of the big engagements, and
funny as it may seem, am always
afraid they viii pull off something
that we will not get into.
have not seen an yof the Ocala
boys yet, but know l have often been
near some of them several times.
The weather is extremely pleasant
over this summer, very cool France
is beautiful now and the crops look
excellent. Last week we marched
for days and saw lots of new coun-
try. | have been practically all over
France now where our army has
been, and this area where we are now
is one of the best. l am afraid that
after the war it will be hard for me
to settle down as this excitement
and continual moving gets into the
blood; but I know of course it will
have to end some day, and the sooner
the better for all concerned
| saw a great many German pris,
Oners this week and talked with some
of them who were wounded and
whose wounds I dressed. They seem
ed happy to be captured and their
principal remark is that the war is
over for them. They seem surprised
to see so many Americans over here
and to find we can fight. They have
been told otherwise by their officers.
| enclose two mark bill l took from
one, and a postal card which they
use to write home They are well
uniformed and do not appear starved
by any means.
l must close for this time. Would
be glad to hear from you, and trust
your health and that of Mrs. Rogers
is good. Please give her my kindest
regards and l would like very much
to know how she has been this sum

Very sincerely,

Frank Huffman Is
Sent to RefOrmatOry

Frank, the 13-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs Fred Huffman. whom we
mentioned last week as having disap-
peared from home, was apprehended
in Fort Collins last Monday by Sher-
iff Thunderstorm and brought back
here that evening.
The young man left quite check
cred trail upon his trip from Jules
burg to Denver and then to Ft. Col
Inns, his shortcomings being that of
cashing checks. and using other persons
names for signatures. At Sddgwick
an eight dollar check was passed on
the depot agent. with the signature
of Fl. J Smelser. the boy posing un-
der the name of Carlson; from there
he went to Denver where he contin-
ued his acts of cashing checks, cash
ing about thirty dollars worth on a
hotel there. The management became
suspicious of the boy and wired to
the First National Bank in this city
FOR reference The matter was refer
red to the sheriff, who left immediate
H. for Denver to get the youthful
offender.
However. when Sheriff Thunderstorm
arrived in Denver. the boy had left,
for Fl Collins. at which place the
sheriff located him Monday.
The boy was arraigned before Judge
Austin Monday afternoon. and after
considering the evidence, the judge
sentenced him to the reform school
at Golden. Deputy District Attorney
c. NJ. Robson asked the court to grant
q stay of execution for one week, but
the same was refused. and upon the
request of the Deputy District At

statements was granted.

boy this morning for the refOrmatory,

at the reformatory. will be of material
benefit to the young man. who is on
