CORRECTING A
GROUNDLESS REPORT

During the past three weeks .
number of my friends have stated to
me that report is being circulated
that l am going to leave Ocala and
move to Jacksonville At first the
idea of such move on my part seem
ed so absurd that / cast it aside as
one would joke, but after number
of friends approached me, the matter
has taken on different phase and
feel that in justice to my friends, my
business and myself that I should
take this method of correcting the
absolutely groundless report. Such a
move has never once entered my
mind and to me it seems would be a
more than foolish move. Why should
/ think of leaving Ocala? / find no
answer to the question, while on the
other hand see every reason why
should remain here-my native home
where l have lived from my childhood
up-where / have established bust
ness of which / am justly proud IN
the city and the county second to none
in my opinion in the state and it af-
'fords me great pleasure to call Ocala
and Marion county home and here
expect to remain and continue to
build my business on the same lines
and principles as has been my policy
heretofore: upon the solid founda-
ton Of square dealing, honest mer-
chandise and endeavoring to give to
every customer one hundred cents in
value for every dollar / receive. To
give up my business here and go else
where would be like one who has
striven with all fair means to win a
coveted prize and when it's won he
casts it away and seeks to win an
other. Such a man is foolish. am
not. My business has been one Of
steady, conservative growth. There
has been, no reason for me to cry hard
times and no one has heard me cry
nor will they. As evidence of my
faith in Marion county, Ocala and
myself, have now the largest stock
of mems and boys ready-to-weaf
garments, clothing. shoes, etc., than
ever before contracted for fall deliv-
cry, which will be delivered, bought
long since and at prices that could not
touch the same values today, and
intend to sell at proportionate saw
ing to my customers. No store in
Ocala can show the varied assert
ment of dependable merchandise fol-
men and boys that this store has and
will display for fall and winter
Thanking my customers and friends
for their very loyal patronage and
with a cordial invitation to come ano
see me at the same old place, and as
surfing them of my earnest and faith
full efforts to please and give fair
exchange Of the best to be had in
merchandise for men and boys. A,
times it is pleasant to visit in other
cities, but for home and business

BE GOOD TO THE BAND

Ocala needs band. No normal city
is without band. The possession OF
a band marks the difference between
city and q tank town. OF course
some public spirited tank towns have
bands, but no really, truly city is
without one.
Ocala has a banda feeble, strug-
Cling, patriotic, discouraged band,
one feeling much more like a hen
caught out in the rain than like a
lark, which is how a band ought to
feel. Our band will feel like lark
and make noise like one if we take
it in out Of the wet.
For some weeks, Prof. Chattaway,
a clever musician, now making his
home in Bushnell. has been coming up
every week to lead and instruct our
forlorn little band Of q band. He has
made no charge for his services ex-
cept his expenses. which the bands
men have dug down in their own jeans
for.
This can't last always and hadn't
ought to. When dozen men leave
their homes two nights in the week
this hot weather to take instruction
for public benefit. they shouldn't
also have to fine themselves to obtain
teacher.
A subscription paper to raise money
to meet the bands most necessary ex-
penses will be circulated tomorrow,
and our people will be blind, or rather
deaf, to their interests, if they do not
subscribe to it literally.
"A band is indispensable on public
occasions. When we hear of vic
tory we should celebrate, and we have
already heard of two big victories,
and are going to hear more. and how
could we celebrate without band. Al
public occasion without a band is
like Hamlet with the ham left out,
and wouldn't it be nice to have some
Friday night concerts some more.
Prof. Chattaway helped train the
excellent organization which as the
Second Florida Infantry band went to
the border, and is now part Of our
national army No better instructor
could be foundt
Help the band. The members are
working hard for nothing and the
city should appreciate their public
spirit.

ments during the same period in 19l g.
Our company's figures, 37.2 per cent
springs marketed. tend to show less
than SO per cent as much poultry
raised in the state of Kansas during
1917 as compared with the previous
year Probably more poultry was
consumed on the farms on account
of the high prices of other classes of
meat, but not enough to materially
affect these figures.
Demand Exceeds Supply.
In presentation of reasons for such
a shortage, it may be taken into con-
sideration that during the fall and
winter months of 1851, the supply
of eggs was not equal to the demand.
Prices advanced to a point far above
former years. This situation prevailed
thru the storing season, March, April
and May, approximately 80 cents per
dozen being paid for current receipts
to farmers in Kansas during these
months. and it is very probable that
the farmer considered it was more
profitable to sell his eggs than to put
them under the hen or in the incuba-
tor.

WAR FLOUR BETTER
All Persons Who Use 1t Will Need
Less Medicine.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 10.-Experi-
ments made with the new war flour,
which the food administration now res
quires the millers to produce, reveal
that it is superior to the high patent
flour consumers have grown used to-
The high patent will make bread a
little whittier, but the war flour is
more wholesome because it contains
elements the body requires. The war
flour contains some of the wheat
which formerly was made into shorts.
This part of the flour contains min
eral and roughage, which the system
needs. 1t will take away the neces-
sity of using SO much medicine and
people will have fewer intestinal
troubles by using the coarser flour.
The food values of the two kinds of
flour are about equal. The price of
the war flour is approximately 20
cents barrel less and the consumer is
getting the benefit of the reduction.
Patriots who did not hoard the high
patent flour a week ago now have the
laugh on the food slackers who
boarded flour upon the mistaken
theory that the war flour would not be
good
