BOARD or TRADE PLANS MOTOR
cAOE TO SOUTH FLORIDA

Plans are being made here for a
trade motor trip through south Flor
ida under the auspices of the Marion
county board of trade, the Ocala Mo-
tor club and the OcaIa Rotarians. The
trip will be taken some time during
the next two or three months. at
date most convenient TO the bust
ness men, merchants and farmers OF
the city and county. Not only will
the trip afford an opportunity for
getting out on the open road but viii
afford an opportunity for seeing Flor
ida, it's developments and attractions.
It will be a get acquainted trip. An
effort will be made to have as many
cars in this motor journey as posi-
BILE
At the regular meeting of the Ma
rion county board of trade last week
special committee was appointed
to undertake the development Of
freight traffic on the Ocklawaha riv-
err The committee has power to act
and action is expected. The develop
ment of this traffic on the river is
one of the most important problems
that the merchants and business men
of this city and county are facing.
Not only will the traffic nthe Ockla-
waha mean lower freight rates into
and out of Ocala and surrounding
territory. but the United States en-
gineers have served notice that there
will be no further appropriations for
the improvements of the river un-
less sufficient traffic is developed 10
warrant the expenditure of more
money.
The board of trade will begin a
campaign at once in the interest of
the Marion county fair. An election
has been ordered for July % to de-
termine whether the fair shall be
taken over by the county and oper-
ated under the direction OF the coun-
ty commissioners. At the last meet
ing Of the board of trade last week
the organization unanimously approx
ed the taking over of the fair by the
county. 1t is believed that it will
result in more general interest being
taken in the fair by the people of the
county. In the past the burden of
the conduct and financing of the fair
has fallen on the shoulders OF a fewl
public spirited men and women.
Steps are being taken by the board |
of trade to place signs along the high
ways of the state directing the mo-
torsts into Ocala and Marion county |
Signs will also be placed in the ethyl
directing the way into and out of the
city, and the route Of the Dixie high
way viii be marked with the red and
white bands on the telephone and

Hyers' Plan to Check
Stealing Of Autos
Proves Big Success

= Lincoln, Nov. 20.-{Spccial Gus
Flyers. head of the state law enforce
ment bureau, is getting better re-
suits in the way of preventing the
stealing of automobiles than any
man in the history of that industry,
according to automobile. insurance
men who with state and federal law
enforcement officials held meeting
at the Lincoln hotel today.
This is made possible because of
the efficiency of the state division
under Mr.. Hyers, who has been able
because of what is called his card
system, TO secure the arrest of of
tenders and the return of automo-
biles stolen. OF the last 80 automo-
biles stolen in Lincoln it is said that
every one has been recovered.
That Chief Hyers' system is a
winner is shown by the fact that
most of the other states are adopting
the plan. According to the state
ments made at the meeting, during
the past year more than $27,000,000
worth OF cars have been stolen in
the II largest cities Of the country
outside of New York, Philadelphia
and Boston.
United States District Attorney
T. S. Allen said that he had been ad-
vised Of the passage by congress of
the bill which makes the transporta-
ton of stolen automobiles across a
state line come under the same pun
ishment as white slavery.

STATEFARMERS
CLOSE MEETING
WITH BUSY DAY
Oppose Plumb Plan Of Railroad
0peration-Urge Increase
Of Federal Land
Bank Loans.

The 18th annual convention of the
Nebraska Farmers Cooperative
Grain and Live Stock association
closed yesterday afternoon after
resolutions touching no labor and
market problems, had been adopted.
A request that Federal Land
banks be permitted to make single
loans amounting to as much as $25,-
600; a protest against any arbitrary
reduction in the prices of farm
products unless there is also a SINH
lar arbitrary reduction in the prices
of other commodities; and an ap-
peal to the government to give to
the grain trade in general more
complete information on conditions
of crops in other countries and the
demand for cereals in those coun-
tries, through various consuls, were
among the most significant resolu-
tons.
Against Plumb Plan.
The organization took firm
stand against the Plumb plan for
railroad operation, stating in reso-
luton that ownership is the basis
for efficient organization. A reso-
luton was also passed stating that
the association would never unite
with organized labor unless such a
union has for its object public well
fare.
The resolution continues with
condemnation of contentious and
strikes that disturb peace and halt
prosperity; pledge to aid the gov
eminent in the enforcement of law
and order; pledge of support to
the proposition that both capital
and labor be given a Square deal;"
and a, condemnation of the shorten
ing of the work day less than eight
hours. In this same resolution the
association goes on record as favor
ing arbitration of honest differences
between employer and employe.
Car Shortage Menace"
The annual car shortage is Ia
beled menace to the country"
and the increasing of storage room
on the farms is given as a remedy
in another resolution.
The organization went on record
as favoring collective bargaining in
all classes.
The last resolution is an appre-
citation of the kindness and hos
pitality of Omaha during the three
day convention of the association.
The delegates to the convention
made trip through the South Side
packing houses this morning, and
were entertained at luncheon at
the Union Stock yards.

Won't Rescind Dry Act
Until Peace Formally
Declared, Wilson Says

Washington, Nov. 2O.-While the
supreme court was hearing argu-
ments today on the validity of the
wartime prohibition act, word went
out from the White House that
President Wilson would not rescind'
the "dry" act until peace formally
had been declared.
This was expected to set at rest
the ever-recurring rumors that the
"dry" ban would be lifted by the
president irrespective of early rati-
hcation of the treaty. Failure of
the senate to act on the treaty at
the extraordinary session was re-
garded by many administration Of
ficials as precluding ending of the
technical state of war much before
the constitutional prohibition
amendment became effective next
January l6.
Should such prove the case, the
only possibility of a wet Christ
mas would be for the supreme
court to declare the wartime act
unconstitutional. Arguments on the
pending cases will be concluded to-
morrow, but as the court begins a
recess Monday no decision is ex-
pected until it reconvenes on De-

miums and in the same counties
losses were adjusted amounting to
So, 1864. In this zone premiums
exceeded losses by $34,798.S0. The
counties showing the larger excuses
in premiums were Clay, fillmore,
Polk and York in the order named.
In this zone Dixon county is in a
class by itself and did not show
either premium or loss. /.
Thirteen counties paid total Of
$3,829.98 in premiums and have no
claims for loss. :
Thayer County Hard Hit.
Thayer county proved to be the
banner county in the loss column
and leads all competitors with to-
tai of 1886 and cost the hail de-
partment $l04,35l.N more than all
premiums collected in that county.
Four other counties, Douglas, Lam
caster, Pawnee and Pierce reported
losses in excess OF premiums col
lected.
In zone No. 2, consisting of Is
counties in central Nebraska, pre-
miums were reported amounting to
S3ll,02l.5G and losses totaling $2l8,-
072.45, leaving balance to the good
of $92,o49.l4. The big revenue pro-
ducers in this zone were Adams,
Kearney, Phelps, Webster. Furnas
and Harlan in the order named.
The big losses were claimed in
Dawson, Custer, Buffalo and Gosper
IN the order named. Six counties in
this zone reported premiums
amounting to $23,023.l6 and made no
claims for loss. @
The rates in this zone were 40
and 90 cents per acre and proved
ample to care for the losses.
Deficit in Third Zone.
The third zone proved to be the
scene of the most destructive storms
and in the u counties in the west
end of the state loss claims were
filed totaling $3O7,3l3.42 as against
premiums reported totaling $267,-
627.64, leaving a deficit of $32, 685.7S.
The large contributions to this de-
felt were Chase, Lincoln, Frontier,
Mcpherson, Keith and Red Willow
counties. The rates in this zone are
50 cents and 90 cents and this re-
port would indicate that this was not
sufficient to take off the loss ratio.
Grant county. did not report insur-
ance at all. The largest volume of
business was written in Cheyenne
county with Phelps county in second
place.
The average loss for the state was
1877 per cent of premiums. ' Some
adjustments are not yet completed
that may change these estimates

PRINCE OF WALES
ENGAGES EXPERTS
IN TENNIS GAME
Inspects Cadets at West Point
And Takes in Theater
Party at Night.

New York, Nov. 20.-The prince
of Wales spent comparatively Idle
day. There was nothing on his pro-
gram except a visit to West Point,
where he inspected the cadets; a
vigorous hour at Squash, a dinner
on the British battle cruiser Renbwn
and theater party.
At West Point the prince was re-
ceived by cavalry escort headed
by Brigadier General Macarthur, the
commandant.
The scene on the historic heights
was more than usually brilliant, for
the sun shone in cloudless sky and
tipped the cleaning swords and &C
coutrements of the faultlessly
marching cadets with added splen-
dor.
II have never seen finer march
ing" exclaimed the prince as the
long blue-clad lines swung past him.
Later the cadets had a chance to re-
ciprocate the admiration when the
prince addressed them in the as
scmbly hall.
His brief speech was punctuated
with applause and was greeted at
the end with series of ear-splitting
yells such as the cadets have often
given on the victorious gridiron and
that has also echoed on far sterner
but still victorious fields.
A visit to Oyster Bay, where the
prince will lay a wreath on the
grave of Theodore Roosevelt, and a
reception to school children are the
principal incidents scheduled for to-
morrow. The princes visit to
America will be brought to a con-
clusion Saturday, when he will con-
fer decorations for gallantry on 120
American officers and sailors.

EUREKA REGION JUST
 FORCING TO FRONT
(F1om Fridays Daily.)

William Baudcr, mine owner of Eureka district, arrived yesterday and gives a glowing report of the outlook of several properties, dwell ing particularly on what is said to be the reviving of the Bagdad holdings, the remarkable showing and heavy output of the Copper King and oth- CT mines now entering the shipping class.
 He attributes the awakening of that country to the newly built wag- on road into Copper Creek from Hillside station, that is affording an outlet of its mineral products by auto for. the first time, which util- ity is prompting capital to enter. The only drawback is the necessity of laying an apron across the Santa Maria. a distance of about 400 feet and when this Is accomplished traf- fic will be accelerated in and out. This work is to commence at once and will be finished before 'snows melt i'll the water shed above, when contin- uous hauling will be possible without disturbance. Bauder looks for a boom this summer, and many deals are now being considered.
