BRINSON TO ROGERS

To Mr.. K. ). Rogers: Yes, sir, /
pride myself that | know few things
about school matters. Why should |
not when | have been interested in
them and actively engaged in some
phase of school work ever since | was
six years of age and most of that time
in Marion county. Florida?
Yes, again, | know few things
about Florida lands and why should
| not when / was raised On Marion
county soil and have been on it most
of my life?
Also, think | know something of
knowing too much2
If the man who called on me and
was received with every consideration
of gentleman made single uncom-
plimentary remark with reference to
! me he showed himself utterly devoid
of the slightest mark of a gentleman.
The man to whom | presume you
refer came into my Office and in a
gentlemanly manner introduced him.

was as usual very busy but laid aside
my work and paid him every courtesy
that would be expected of county
superintendent of schools and a gen.
| tleman l talked with absolute free
dom in regard to the schools, telling
| him that we had a full senior twelve
grade high school in Ocala that would
rank along with similar schools any
where in the country. He was inter
ested in knowing the school condition
about five miles south of town on the
Belleview hard road and / told him
the exact condition of things and told
that inasmuch as we had no school in
that neighborhood his school would be
| the Ocala school and that it would be
very convenient to him.
He was interested in a tract of land
belonging to Mr.. Smith and in which
had not the slightest interest.

quality of the land and it's location
and convenience for shipping and in
fact boosted the sale of the place

for the county to try to locate man
in it and especially when he was n
terested in school matters. | could
not have done more in behalf of the
place if | had had the place for sale
and had been expecting a commission
from it. j believe | did hand him a
pamphlet that | issued some months
ago, and about that time Mr. Black
burn, the farm demonstration agent
who was also originally from Illinois
came in and he kindly offered to take
him out in the county on a trip to see
the country. He went on and / hao
not thought, seen nor heard of him
/ since
/ did not know that he knew you OF
had thing to do with you and if he
told you that che seemed more anx
ious to sell him land than to give hin
school information" he told you {
barefaced falsehood.
i However, my impression is thai
your representation is colored by &
j feeling of resentment of my having
been slightly in the real estate bust
ness and your desire to escape your
burden of that three-mill levy.
i If this is the straights in which tn.
opponents find themselves they art
surely hard pressed and had better
sue for an armistice.
Very respectfully,

SPECIAL REGULATIONS
Governing Manufacturers. Dealers
Brokers and Commission Merch-
ants in Butter

The attention of all retail dealers in
butter is called to rule / of the above
regulations, which reads as follows:
Butter to be sold at reasonable
advance over cost The licensed deal
ing in butter shall sell such butter
without regard to the market or re-
placement value at the time of the
sale at not more than a reasonable adj
vance over cost to him of the particu-
lar butter sold.
provided, that any dealer may av.
erage the cost of all cold storage but
ter of the same grade placed by him
in cold storage warehouse in any
calendar month, and may sell such
butter at not more than a reasonable
advance over such average cost.
When a dealer averages the cost of
any butter stored in calendar month
he must average the cost of all butter
stored in that month"
Cost for the purpose of this rule
shall include:
Purchase price.
2. Transportation changes, if any.
3. Storage charges actually in
Cured on cold storage butter.
4. Insurance charges actually in
Cured on cold storage butter.
5. Interest on money invested at
the current rate, while butter is in
cold storage.
6. Actual cost of printing if the
butter is put up in pint form from
tubes or cubes.
Cost shall not include any allow
ances for shrinkage in weight, COM
missions or other exchanges than
those mentioned herein.
Under the above rule the retail sec
ton of the distribution of perishables
of the U. S. food administration has
Investigated the cost of handling but
ter at retail and has determined that
any advance in excess of to 6 cents
per pound over cost (as defined in rule
II is unreasonable, and will be con.
sidered evidence of violation of rule
l. The 5 cents per pound represents
the maximum margin for stores con-
Quoted on the cash and carry, or no
service plan, while 6 cents per pound
is the maximum margin for the extra
service stores extending credit and
delivery. Dealers whose delivered
store door cost figures in fractions
may have the benefit of such frac-
tional cost.
For example, butter costing at
store door 1870 per ID. would carry a
maximum margin of size per Id. for
the cash and carry and no service
stores and 61ac per Id. for the extra
service or credit and delivery stores
In determining margins at SC and
&c. pound on butter with the frac-
tional costs in dealers favor the u
S. food administration has given due
consideration to the rising costs of
operation which must be met by the
dealer. This maximum margin no
doubt will exceed in some instances
the normal pre-war margin.
In addition to the above margins
the retailer who carriers butter in
cold storage more than two calendar
months may add not more than lie
per pound and an additional nc. for
each month thereafter during which
he carries the butter in cold storage
The total amount for carrying butter
in cold storage so added, however,
shall not exceed &c. per pound.
The food administration will con-

slider any sale of butter by a retail
dealer at greater margin than here
in outlined as evidence subjecting the
dealer to a revocation of his license
or such other penalty as the law pro-
yides.
In future you must be governed in
selling butter by the above rulings.

Marion County Food Administrator.

1t is obvious that German public
opinion has been greatly disturbed
by the crisis in Austria and all the
events leading up to the dismissal
OF Count Czernin Having been
compelled to abanddHAhe campaign
agairu NJ. Clemenceau and all the
fiction about the classification" Of
the emperor of Austria's letter, the
German press lapsed into deep en-
Tarrassment or silence, Most in
teresting are the kilograms from
the Vienna correspondent of the
Frankfurter Zeitung. On April IS
he wrote:
According to my information,
the retirement OF Count Czernin is
due TO the fact that at his last au-
dience-when Count CIernin by no
means intended TO desert the en-
peror in his painful and difficult
situstion-there was an obvious dif-
ference of opinion, which Count
Czernin was bound TO interpret as
want OF confidence. His resignation
was accepted Immediately and, it
seems, gladly. The causes are man
fold. No doubt the influences which
have prevailed are those which
were angry with CIernm for his at
tacks upon the Czechs; those which
regarded much of the contents of
the kilograms exchanged between
the Emperor Charles and the
kaiser as wrong II zone (sic), and,
finally, those which condemned
Czernin's attack upon Clemenceau,
which was made in complete ignor-
ance of the emperor's letter and so
in ignorance Of the fact that our
enemies are in possession of very
dangerous weapons"
The acceptance Of the resignation
is described as momentous and the
consequences as incalculable. II is
not the habit of the Viennese 10
carry their feelings into the street,
as is the way in Budapest or In
Prague. Yet a dull grumbling is go
ing through the town, and things are
being said which il is simply impoS-
sible TO repeat
