MARkET DAY HAD
GOOD BEGINNING

The Market Day held in Ocala on
Tuesday of this week proved to be
good "ice breaker" The crowd
which attended the auction and the
articles sold both warrant the hold
ing of similar sales in the future, and
plans are already being talked over.
The idea now is to have the next
auction after the farmers get theiI
crops laid by Il is believed that the
good rains the first part of this week
kept the farmers at>home. Many who
would have attended the first Market
Day and brought in articles to put
up at auction remained at home. to
take advantage of the rains, in plant
ing and cultivating
The total sales on Tuesday made
by Mr.. Howard Curry, assistant in
dustrial agent of the Seaboard Air
Line, VINO acted as auctioneer,
amounted to $24735 Many of the
articles sold for a song. Good turn
ploWs, for example, sold for $3.50.
There were many bargains. Among
the things sold were plows, culti-
vators, mules. a horse, wagons, bug
gies, harness, saddle, and a coal
crate. The owners of the chatteis
were allowed one bid. This gave
them chance to prevent their chat,
tells from being sold for less than
they were willing to take Some
availed themselves of this one bid
and others did not
The plan is to make the Market
Day permanent institution On ev-
cry farm there are chattels which the
owners want to get rid of, and would
be willing to get rid of at some little
sacrifice, thus giving their neighbors
a chance to obtain bargain or SO.
This is very much better than let
ting thousands of dollars worth of
farm implements and chattels rust
away,
No end of amusement resulted
from the sales on Tuesday Much
fun was had when an old knock-kneed
mule was sold to Mr.. z c.. Chambliss
for $1,000, Mr.. Chambliss starting the
bidding for the mule at $1,000, and
nobody in the crowd apparently yant-
ed to deprive him of the privilege
of owning the animal. The mule got
in one kick but didn't help things
any.

O.V. R. R. DECISION
OF JUDGE BULLOCK

Judge Bullock handed down his
findings in the suit to sell the Okla
waha Valley Railroad last Monday.
In brief the judge finds that the road
has never paid anything on the in
yestment; that from January, 1918,
to April of this year under the man
agement of the receiver it has barely,
if at all, paid operating expenses;
that it is not probable that its future
income will be as much as it was last
year; that is principal business is de-
rived from one shipper, who furnished
some sixty-odd per cent. during the
receivership; that several thousand
dollars will have to be spent for new
ties; that the taxes of 1915 and 1917
over $4,000, remain unpaid that a
portion of the road is already decreed
to be sold under first mortgage
amounting now to forty-odd Thousand
dollars. Under the circumstances the
Judge sees no other alternative but
tc confirm the recent sale of the road
carrying with it the right of the pur.
chaser to dismantle it. Next Monday
is set for entering the decree in ac-
cordance with the findings.

BUILDING UP a BIG AUTOMOBILE
BUSINESS

From the number of garages and
automobile supply shops recently es-
tablished in Ocala it looks like the
automobile business is about to take
the lead of all other industries in our
city It's growth is marvellous
The pinoeer industry in Ocala in
this line is the 0cala Gas Engine
Works of which Mr. John Spencer
has from the beginning been it's NOV
ing spirit
Under his management it has kent
pace with the steady growth of the
automobile industry of the country
and its friends will we know be pleas
eel to learn that it is to take on even
fresher life by admitting to full part,
nership Mr. Walter Pedrick, who has
made such a phenomenal business
success in Ocala and elsewhere.
Mr.. Pedrick becomes half owner in
the Buick agency as well as in the
garage, supply and repair shop and
will devote his hustling habits in
making it one of the 1ivest business
concerns of our city.
The floor space and all other de.
departments are to be enlarged and
all along the line preparations are
being made to double its capacity
When the new plans are completed
it will be an establishment that Ocala
can point to with growing pride.
When two such hustlers as John
Spencer and Walter Pedrick get to-
gether and join forces with a COM
mon end in view it is notice to the
world that there is something do

THE OcALA CANNING PLANT
WILL OPERATE

n. E. Galyean returned FFriday
night from Starke and other points
in that section where he spent day
or two on business. He has just
closed deal for about 615 acres OF
beans in the Starke territory which
in this case extends as far south as
Hawthorne. The beans were plant
ed for H. A. Shaver, who has cannery
interests at Starke and Ocala as well
as in Plant City The beans planted
for canning at Starke or the early
crop at least. were purchased by Mr.
Galyean, Mr.. Shaver having decided
not to operate the Starke plant until
later in the year. Mr. Galyean has
secured the selling privilege on about
three hundred acres of beans in the
Ocala territory, and expects the crol,
to move in earnest within the next
ten days

crate the Ocala cannery and also will

RETURN OF CORPORAL sTuckEy

The friends of Corporal CISCO
Stuckey are hailing his return from
overseas with hearty handshakes
and congratulations.
Although entering the service as a
private-to whom most credit be-
longs in all wars-no one won more
recognition and Ocala is very proud
of the distinction she won through
Corporal Stuckey as her contribution
to the great world war.
He was SO stalwart-looking in uni
form-in stature and strength a per-
feet Hercules, and was pronounced
the typical soldier of fact and fable
He won such immediate fame that
the film hunters sought him out and
his striking figure was shown in ev-
cry picture house on both continents.
Private Stuckey was assigned to
the engineer corps and knew his du-
ties so intuitively and performed
them so well that he was made a
corporal and had the war lasted long
enough he would have won the insig-
mia of a full general and had he done
SO would have so adorned and digni-
fed the uniform that the well known
figure of General Winfield Scott
would have been overshadowed.
Corporal Stuckey was on the firing
line with Sergeant Edward Green and
has many thrilling experiences to re,
late. He knows how to build roads
and trenches under shell fire, what it
as to be gassed and what it is to face
and overawe whole squad of huns.
He missed their repeated aims by
paralyzing them with fear.

GIANT COMBINE
CONTROL CIRTUS

Jacksonville, May S.-Control -
the citrus and deciduous fruit indus
tries of the United States on much
the same plan as that under which
bananas are produced and marketed
appears to be contemplated by the
American Fruit Growers, incorporat-
ed, the organization of which was an
nounced this week in Los Angeles,
according to the telegraphic advices
from that city.
The banana business of the world
for years has been under unified Ii
rection through the ownership by one
big concern of most of the groves
producing this fruit For some time
there have been rumors that the ban
ana interests proposed to enter the
citrus field and it is possible that
the California combination repre-
sents activity on their part in this
direction
The Los Angeles dispatches state
that the American Fruit Growers.
Inc, has an authorized capital of cne
hundred million dollars and expects
to merge big grapefruit and orange
groves, both in California and FLOR
ida with important apple orchards In
the Pacific northwest and in the cas-
tern states The promoters are re-
ported to claim that properties worth
ten million dollars already have ioiu-
ed in the enterprise.
One of the advantages of the move
ment set forth in the introduction OF
it to California interests is the re-
movaI of the hazards of the fruit
business by neutraIizing the losses
of any district in an off year through
averaging or pooling the profits of
the entire territory covered Another
claim made by the sponsors of the
combination alleged is that it VIII
provide a means whereby there may
be avoided certain alleged uneouali
While in California it has been
stated that Florida will participate
to considerable degree in the oro
posed merger and well Informed men
here say there has been considerable
propaganda for it in the citrus pro
ducing sections of the state, little def
mite feadway appears to have been
made in signing up groves.
So far as can be gathered from the
details of the plan as they have bean
wired. from California and as the
merger is explained in press dispatch
es, the movement will be competitive
alike with privately owned marketing
agencies and with cooperative asso-
Citations of growers such as the Flor
ida Citrus Exchange. On the other
hand, there are indications in the per-
sonnel of the promoters and in some
features of their prospectus that they
expect to absorb certain factors I'm
citrus distribution commonly known
as speculative marketing agencies.
That the latter type of fruit ssll-
ing organizations would sooner or
later be compelled to adopt policy
of grove ownership in order to pro-
vide themselves with sufficient vol
ume to continue this business on a
profitable basis long has been pre-
dicted in view of the growth of the
cooperative marketing idea The

THE WORLDS MIDDLE.

In the face of the awful losses 81
the war it is difficult to believe that
when the world most wants to get out
of the thraldom produced by the great
struggle, America should not under
take at this time to be as outstanding
in shaping the restoration period as
she was in bringing about culmina-
ton of the war.
The disturbing elements that are
forcing chaotic state in every civil
lied nation of the entire earth will
never get together until America
mounts to greater heights than those
to which she is now aspiring. There
is no question whatever about Amer
ica's position before the world. All
peoples know and understand the
almost incOnceivable wealth and
strength of America; yet it is in the
possession of these very elements of
her greatness that she is showing her
greatest weakness. In other words,
we are misdirecting our own energies
through misconceptiOn of the duty
we owe the world, as viewed by a
group of petty politicians at Washing
ton. 1t is beyond conception to pic
ture anything weaker or more pathetic
than is now shown by these politicians
who are undertaking to prove that
America first of all had false ideals
in entering the war and now she has
no direction in emerging from it.
The truth of the matter is that Mr..
Wilson must have foreSeen his pres
ent difficulties when he urged upon the
American people last Fall to give him
sustaining Congress. While it is
true that his appeal was resented at
the polls because of its unusualness
and because of the public having been
led to believe that 1t was for purely
selfish reasons, it is now perfectly
apparent that had listening ear been
given him at that time, the entire
world would now be on the road to
long era of peace.
We firmly believe, however, that it
will not be great while before mat
tiers will shape themselves so as to
bring order out of the chaos and
when it comes, it will not necessarily
be a triumph for Mr. Wilson, but a
single victory for righteousness and
truth.
