AT HOME AGAIN

Captain H. F. Watt of the medical
branch of the army, accompanied by
Mrs. Watt and little Helen, arrived
last night from Asheville and are
again at their home in Linwood.
Captain Watt left Ocala about
twenty months ago. He passed but
little time in preparation, but was
soon sent to France, where he was
kept busy night and day, except when
too i'll to stay on his feet, until he left
his last station for America. He has
worked under fire scores of times,
been gassed and has probably done as
much difficult and useful work as any
man in the American army.
The army is not thru with him yet,
but he is home for thirty days rest
and visit to his friends. Everybody
is glad to see him again and proud
of his splendid record.

tee to Meet at Once to Consider
MIR. Forts Measure
a meetinp OF the pood roads h

A meeting of the good roads COM
mittee of the Board of Trade will be
called Immediately to consider Repre-
sentative Forts bill to protest the
highways and bridges of Marion
county. The bill was read to the
members of the trade body last night,
and exceptions were taken to the pro-
visions of the measure. A telegram
has been sent to Mr.. Fort to obtain
a copy of the bill In its present form.
Among other things the measure pro-
vides that no motor truck or trailer
used for carrying freight shall ope-
rate on the public roads of Marion
county unless equipped with pneu-
matte tires; and no motor truck or
other motor vehicle used for hauling
freight shall be run at rate exceed

teen miles an hour is unreasonably
slow.

wer made, and the bill was referred
to the good roads committee with the
direction that it beg iven immediate

UNION STATION PLAZA
TO Be BEAUTIF|ED
Civic Committee of Trade Body Will
work for Parking of City's
Front Door

The civic committee of the Board
Of Trade reported last night that it
would work for the Identification of
the union station plaza, and would
stick to this one thing until it was
put "over the top" The committee
recommended that the Board of
Trade, in cooperation with the Ocala
Woman's Club and Rotary Club, have
a Cleanup Week" in Ocala during
the week of May II. This recon-
rnendation was approved by the mem
bers of the commercial organization
last night. The "Clean-Up Week" is
not proposed as anything new or orig
inal but as something needed. The
committee proposes that the city be
divided into districts and the clean
up campaign be conducted in each
district by a team under a captain,
private property to be cleaned up by
its owners and the streets and city
property to be cleaned up by the city.
Mr.. Jake Brown, chairman of the
civic committee. reported last night
that, at the instance of the commit
tee, he had seen Mr.. Winer with re-
gard to having the fire plugs of the
city painted. Mr.. Brown stated that
Mr.. Winer said that the plugs of the
city would be painted. Mr.. Brown
also stated that he had assurances
from the councilman in charge of
streets of cooperation during "Clean-
Up Week"
The civic committee will go before
the county commissioners. at their
next meeting to ask that the dead
palms around the courthouse square
and the broken benches be replaced.
The committee will also ask that
more benches be placed around the
square.
The committee called the Board of
Trades attention to the parking of
cars on the brick streets of the city
after midnight, thus preventing the
proper sweeping and cleaning of the
streets and cutters. This matter did
rot get up before the members of the
trade body last night for action. The
meeting last night was one of the
liveliest held in many a day, and some
matters that should have had consid-
Grafton weer overlooked, and over
shadowed, too, by others of more and
immediate Importance.

TRADE BODY TAKES UP
SCHOOL NEEDS OF CITY
Educational Committee to be Added
to List of Standing Committees
OF the Board

An educational committee, to be
added to the list of standing commit
tees of the Marion County Board of
Trade, will work with view TO max
ing the public schools of Ocala and
Marion county second to none. The
appointment of this committee fol-
lows a lengthy and spirited discus
sion, in the meeting of the trade
body last night, concerning the edu-
cational needs of the city and county.
One of the most important matters
for which the committee will work
will be the lengthening of the term of
the Ocala high school to more than
nine months, in order that its diploma
might be recognized by the Southern
Association of Colleges and other in
stitutions as a qualification for en-
trance into college.
Mr.. G.. w. Hunter brought the mat
ter before the Board of Trade, call
ing attention to the important part
which educational facilities play in
bringing new citizens to Ocala and
Marion county. Mr.. w. H. Cassels,
principal of the Ocala high school,
made vigorous plea for the needs
of the school. Mr.. Cassels made a
plea for manual training in the
school, the establishment of the
home economics branch, the beautif-
cation of the school grounds, and
provision for athletics, with an ath-
letic director. He spoke of the prob
lem of keeping the teachers In the
high school department. He pointed
out that, after this year, the South
ern Association of Colleges will not
recognize high schools with only a
nine-months' course. Mr.. Cassels
said that in educational matters the
Ocala high school at present stands
with the best in the state, but he
wants it to have in addition the adj
vantages which are recognized as be-
ing a part of the most progressive
schools in the country. The problem,
he said, is one of providing the nee
essary funds.
Mr. J. III. Brinson, county superin-
tendent of schools, in a heated speech
said that there was too much destruc-
tive criticism being aimed at the
schools of Ocala. He said that the
county board had shown no lack of
appreciation of these schools, but had
-sFent on the Ocala high school more
money than was raised by the spec
ial tax for the Ocala schools. Mr..
Brinson said that a new system of
providing finances for the schools
must be worked out. He said that he
was ready to cooperate with the city
school board, and any committee from
the Board of Trade. in educational
matters.
Rev. j. R. Herndon and Mr.. F. R.
Hooker spoke for the needs of the
Ocala schools. Mr.. Hooker suggested
to Mr.. Cassels that plans be prepar-
ed to cover the needs of the Ocala
high school, including the costs of
same. = Mr.. Hooker said he thought
that Ocala would raise the necessary
funds.

AMERICANS EXEMPT

New York. April 25.-Americans

spite the return of European coun-
tries to war bread basis, Julius
Barnes, president of the food admin
istration grain corporation and fed
eral wheat director, said today. A
survey of wheat stocks, Mr.. Barnes
said, convinced his department that

STRIKING HUNGARY

Berlin, April 25.-(By the Associat-
ed Press.)-Hungary has closed all
her borders in an effort to control
the Rumanian invasion and prevent
unfavorable news from escaping the
country. Reports from Budapest are
therefore contradictory, but all indi-
cate the situation is grave. Panic is
said TO reign in Budapest, where the

TO be ruthlessly arresting scores OF

state?" There is no true American
who VIII answer the question in the
negative. Hence, we further most re-
spectfully ask that one of the funda-
mental rights or privileges of Amer
lean citizenship be accorded US, the
cclored people of the state of Flor
IDA, namely: that colored men, when
measuring up TO the requirements Of
qualifications be included In the list
Of citizens, in the various counties,
available for jury service, in the
courts of the counties of the state OF
Florida
We are fully aware that there is
no law nor constitutional provision
disbarring colored men from jury SER
vice, but their elimination has grown
from a custom that can no longer
exist in the pure white light Of dem
ccracy, TO which Florida is commit
ted, for which Florida stands and
for which Florida's sons, both black
and white. have died.
We also feel that if Florida, the
most southern state, leads In this
matter of thus exemplifying the
faith for which they have fought,
most or possibly all other states of
the South will accord their negro
citizens the same measure of justice
and fair play.
Your petitioners again pray your
careful consideration of all matters
get forth in this petition and shall
ever pray.
