the Star willingly offers you space to
remove it.
The Star will also gladly give you
room to state what line of policy you
expect to follow in case you are elect
ed. Perhaps in the three years dur
ing which possibly ungrateful but
well-meaning people have kept the
public burdens off your shoulders, you
have thought up some great and ben
eficial system of municipal govern
ment. Perhaps you have mapped and
planned little charter of your own.
If so. you are somewhat selfish in
keeping it from the people. True, you
may intend to spring it as a glad
surprise on them. But why should
they not enjoy the anticipation as
well as the reality?
You must have something under
you hat, for you acted far differently
in the old days. You were not wont to
be secretive. You issued your edicts
20 the council, publishing them in ad-.
vance. About the first of each Novem-
Der you would remind your faithful
Rand to issue an urgent call for you
to become candidate and again save
the city. Your election methods were
such as would have caused a Tam
many ward boss to regard you with
Inconcealed admiration.
During your various administra-
tons, you did everything you could to
make things unpleasant for those who
opposed you. A good many people
were afraid of you, and some are yet.
You had some other peculiarities not
necessary to name here, but we'll
known to all Ocala people, which
sometimes made them sorry you were
mayor, and you don't seem to have
discarded them.
The Star has told you, Mr.. Robert
son, of the faults that caused you to
be defeated in 1916, and, with a
strong suspicion of disloyalty to your
country added. defeated you again in
1917. 1t now asks you in all kindness
and fairness, what will you do if you
are elected on Dec. 8? Are you 60
ing to try again to run roughshod
over the council and intimidate pri-
vate citizens who you don't like? Are
you going to try to allow vice to
faunt itself as long as it is willing to
lay blackmail to the police and the
city treasury?
Or do you think you have had a
change of heart in the last three
years and can really be mayor that
Ccala can trust and respect?
We will be very glad to have you
answer these questions by next Fri
day. If you don't our citizens, or
most of them, will draw their own
conclusions. Respectfully,
The Star.

CARROLL MOTORS COMPANY

1t is with more than ordinary pleas
urc that this paper makes mention of
the success of Mr.. r. r. Carroll in q
new line of business-the Carroll
Motors Company.
Mr.. Carroll came to Ocala when
quite young man and took charge
of the Ocala Evening Ctar when it
was not in a very flourishing condi-
ton and through stress and storm
kept it aloat until now it is paying
concern.
Quic kto perceive that the automo-
bile is with us to stay and is destined
to grow to very large proportions, he
took charge of the Maxwell agency in
this city and through his skillful man
agement it has grown almost as rap
idly as "Jonah's gourd," which grew
to an immense size overnight.
Besides the Maxwell agency Mr..
Carroll is the agent and distributor
of several other cars and motor
trucks.
His business has now grown to such
size that'he has had it incorporated,
has purchased an eligible lot and will
erect thereon an imposing two-story
brick building in which to display his
many machines and conduct an up-to-
date garage business.
The Carroll agency embraces a
large territory and as Ocala is so GEN.
trally located he anticipates a rapid
expansion of business and views the
future from every angle as very
bright.
Some are born to riches, others
have riches thrust upon them, but Mr..
Carroll belongs to that class Of
strugglers who achieve riches.
He has our best wishes.-Ocala

COME ALONG, MARY

The Shreveport, La. Times, says of
Come Along, Mary" which appears
at the Temple tomorrow night:
Tuneful and merry. "Come Along
Mary" Harvey D. Orr's offering at
the Grand Opera House scored a great
success last night at the initial per-
Torrance of a three-day run. The
show possesses real merit in quality
as well as quantity of melodious songs
and witty dialogue.
The chorus of the attraction is all
that could be desired by the most
critical in grace and beauty. The cos
tuning is rich and the scenic settings
of the play are artistic and true to the
parts of the world they represent.
Like all successful musical come
dies there is just enough trend of a
love story interviewer to keep the in
terest of the qui vive. The initial scene
offers the settings of a fashionable
club on Long Island. From the east
erh shore OF America the audience is
taken in the second and third acts to
far-off Hawaii with all it's picturesque
scenery and unique costumes.
An added touch which adds to the
Hawaiian atmosphere is a Hula dance
which excels versions of this eccentric
form Of stepping attempted at any
time on q local stage.
The company Is excellently balanc-
ed and it would be difficult to name an
individual star. but the antics of Ken
meth Christy, as Rufus M. Washing
ton, in black face, stands out. Rufus
really is a show in himself and un-
doubtedly deserves highest rank
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1919-11-25

among the fast waning artists of
black face variety. He sings well,
dances still better and there is q
touch of originality in his work which
is rare.
In its entirety "Come Along, Mary
is replete with situations which pro-
woke laughter and the audience files
out of the theater at the drop of the
curtain-in Shreveport, unfortunate
ly, before the curtain falls-feeling
satisfied that excellent entertainment
has been provided.

BY Carolyn Sherwin Bailey.

Once upon a time there was a
queer little elf named Dumps, who
lived all by himself in a dark little
house down in valley. Ever since
he could remember, things had gone
wrong with him.
He shivered in the cold and
kicked the coal bucket when the fire
wouldn't burn. He howled when he
stumbled over his own dinner pots
that he had left sitting in the mid
die of the floor, and he stood in his
front door and scowled when the
other, happy elves went by, without
speaking to him.
He and his family had lived like
that for years. When any elf want
ed to describe something very sad
he would say it was Down in the
Dumps and so Dumps went on
without single happy day.
But the elves decided, suddenly,
to give a party. Oh. it was going
to be very jolly party indeed, and
Dumps heard about it, Almost

or singing something cheerful. And
some of them were carrying their
best green suits to the Wood
Fairy's house to be pressed. And
when Dumps heard about the party,
he cried so loudly because he knew
that he wouldn't be invited that the
Wood Fairy heard him. The noise
disturbed her SO much that she went
right down to Dumps house to see
what was the matter with him now.
Tell me about it from the be-
ginning, my DEAR" she asked poor
little Dumps.
Il can't see the sunshine!' Dumps
howled.
"Of course you can't" said the
Wood Fairy. your windows are
dirty. Get some nice spring water
in your little pail and wash them"
Dumps had never thought of do
ing that. When he washed the win
dows the sunbeams streamed in like

what real adventure it
would be to discover one of those
strange birds and its huge nest, and
yet right at home we have birds
that build nests even more wonder
full than that.
There are scores of common
birds whose nests rival the strang-
est bird homes of the tropics. The
nesting habits of some of these
birds are so odd, interesting and
instructive that they are we'll worth
the time it takes to discover them.
| know of no more valuable way to

out some of these strange bird
homes and watching their owners.
If you don't believe it 90 down to
the nearest swamp and watch that
common water bird, the grebe. The
books call it the pied billed grebe,
but you have probably heard it
called by far less dignifed name.
Surely you know this little brown
ish gray fellow. A pair of them
are found in almost every pond and
lake, rather shy, but not at all
afraid. You can see them diving
and swimming in almost any pond
you visit. But I'll venture that not
one boy in hundred has ever found
one of their nests and yet you have
probably waded past scores of them
while frogging.
You might search unsuccessfully
for weeks if you did not know just
where and how to look. Many

Memorial Day.

Arthur Worth. Age 10, Merna Neh.
Dear Busy Bees: This is the first
time | have written to you. Once
upon a time there was little boy,
whose name was Jack, He lived
with his mother and father in a
cottage. They were very poor and
it was a day before Memorial day
and he did not have any flowers for
the soldiers and sailors graves. He
though that if he could only get
some flowers he would be very
happy.
That day he found plenty of work
to do, so he went to lady and
asked if she had any work, and she
said. yes, | wish that somebody
would hoe my garden" and Jack
said, Il will do it for you" SO he
went and hoed the garden for the
lady and that evening he went home
with a big bouquet of flowers and a
quarter to buy some flags.
The next day he went to the
graveyard with some other children
to decorate the graves OF the SOL
dlers and sailors.
When he went home that day he
felt happier than ever before in his
life. This is not true story, so
goodbye, Busy Bees.

and each in turn requested. that they
might take her back to the Night
Mist. After much thought and
consideration, it was decided that
the Skylark should be called to
carry her back to her home-know-
ing the sky so we'll, the others
might lose their way.
Thee Funeral Song.
And the Skylark through back his
head, and the deep liquid notes of
the flowers requiem passed over the
still air.
When finished. he flew to earth,
and. picking up the pale, cool body
of the little evening Primrose, he
placed it gently in his long, dark
bill: the bill, that had carried so
many leaves to the Primrose during
her illness, now carried her to her
final resting place.
The flower folks silently looked on.
The Skylark tapped his wings and
rose slowly in the air; then straight
ening his pinions far and wide, he
sailed with his burden of love to-
wards the western hills.
Deep was the sorrow in the Gar
den family. They had all learned to
love dearly the little Evening Prim-
rose, whose visit to earth was so
sadly shortened.

Dear Busy Bees: like your let

Bees very much. ! will start the
story now.
Once when anybody went by a
house, some bells rang and some
body would run at them and chains
would clang together. Everybody
was afraid to go by this house or see
what was in it and making the noise.
When anybody was about quarter
of mile from the house they would
hear the bells and hear the Changing
of chains and see something white.
One day boy came to this town
and he said he wasn't afraid to go
to this house and see what it was.
He went the opposite way that the
other folks went, and he went up
and peeked in and saw the golden
chains. Then he walked IN the
house and it was the chains ringing
the bell and sheet put over the
window, and all the people honored
this bOy for bravery.
