Kansas orator, is often quoted. thr.
short poem, entitled @Opportuni-

each man. Accordingly the man

Is left in the race of life. The In

creates an impression that the man
VINO has failed to catch opportunity

fortunately there are other think
ers and poets who take a. different
and truer view. One of them. Nixon
Waterman, has winter home in
Florida, and life in our state leads
him to his opinion:
."I say that opportunity is knockin'

Because you spurned her offer she

But every morning comes and shouts
Today, today, today
And here and now she offers her

Pick out your choice and make It

But if you fail, why, don't give up,

BIG DAY AT SILVER SPRINGS
Two Big Excursion Trains--one from
Tampa and Another from PaIati<a.
Day Passes of Quietly

! Last Sunday was record DFedhlhS
day for Silver Springs and those who
| had its attractions in charge had the
] busiest day in the history Of that
picturesque and lovely watering
place.
1t was estimated that there were
twelve hundred excursionists from
Tampa and intermediate points and
six or seven hundred from Paiatka,
and most of Ocala was on the
grounds at some hour of the day and
+ added to the animation of the scene
Both races were represented yet
perfect quietness reigned all day
and there was not a disturbance nor
the suspicion of one.
The glass bottom boats. the small
er canoes, the chutes, the swings.
the floats, the high dive, the pavilion,
the restaurants and booths where
soft drinks were dispensed were kept
busy all the live long day.
More and more this famous spos
is becoming watering place for
both summer and winter and every
day Mr.. Carmichael. its proprietor, is
adding step by step to it's attractions
and some day, the same as pretty lit
tie Eustis, it is going to have attrac-
tive hotels, and other allurements for
the winter tourists and will become
a great asset to our city.
Every afternoon it's waters are full
of bathers and it is becoming "the
thing to spend the afternoon there
and disport in its crystal waters.
This leads us to append the fol-
lowing about swimming:
II can't swim I can't swim!" cried
the panic stricken bather as he
foundered in water which he thought
was over his depth. This" said his
friend, watching his struggles from
the bank, lis a poor time to brag
about it,"
An ancient story, but one bearing
moral which renews itself every
year as swimming time comes round
Every summer brings a record of
deaths from drowning which never
need have occurred if -the victims had
been taught Co swim,
1t is Just as easy to drown in shall
low water as In deep if the bather is.
subject to the panic which paralizes
the will and befogs the reason. There
IS no more need of drowning in deep
water than in shallow If one has tbe
cool confidence Of the swimmer
Aside from It's life saving value,
swimming Is one OF the finest exer,
eises in the world developing eyery
MUSCLE and enlarging and strength
ening the breathing apparatus.
AWherever there is a place avail
able, be it sandy beach or the "oId
swimmin' hole" there should be some
one installed to teach the bathers to
swim
Anybody can learn who will. If is
not difficult but just like everything
else it is learned most easily in
youth, and they are wise parents who
encourage their children to acquire
early this greatest of athletic accom-
plishments.

That is, unless it arrives during the

it is treated with the respect and honor
accorded welcome guest

MOTHER OF MOHAIR INDUSTRY
VISITS FRIENDS NEAR HERE

Mrs. ii. Armer, the mother OF the mo-
hair industry In this section OF New
Mexico. whose home Is at Kingston,
Sierra county, was In the city last
Friday in the interests Of proposed or
ganization Of the goat raisers OF Luna.
Grant and Sierra counties. She Is a
guest OF X. L. Ferguson, who has 1000
goats In the vicinity Of Red Mountain.
Mrs. Armer hopes to get the mohair in
dustry organized In such way that the
growers will deal with the mills that
use the product and cut out the profit
OF the middlemen who buy up the crop.
She says that the growers near Lake
Valley are now holding 10000 pounds
hoping to get a better price through
direct dealing and she thinks IL will
be a great advantage II all growers
will consider the combination.
MOhalr at the present time Is quot
ed ut Ole a pound and as high as 50c
has been offered, but Mrs. Armer con
tends that mohalr Is more valuable
than wool and that wool seems TO have
caught up with the more valuable pro-
duct In some way. Hence she thinks
that some one is profitecrlng at the
expense of the growers She says that
the same conditions obtain In the hide
market and that something ought 10
be done about it since the price Of
leather Is high and the price OF hides
Is low.

EXTORTION LOWER DOWN

No one doubts that jobbers and re
tailers. restaurants and hotels took ad-
vantage Of war conditions and expand
ed profits.
Prices doubled and an annual turn
over In the jobbing or retail trade was
made without a corresponding doubling
the overhead.
Increased freight rates add little To
coat of commodities but were used TO
boost prizes. An increase In railroad
freight rates is generally accepted by
dealers as an excuse for increasing the
price of the commodities subject 10 the
higher rates. Julius Kruttchnitt Of
the Southern Pacific system points out
that the popular impression that the
higher rates OF living costs is grossly
exaggerated" He says: mo coin Is
small enough to represent any OF
these increases in cost. but II the deal
or should add one copper cent In each
case 10 the 1910 prices to reimburse
him for the increased cost OF his com
modify due to increased freight rates
he would grossly overcharge the pur-
chaser In every case.
He would make him pay nearly
double the proper amount In the case
OF pair Of shoes and over six times
the proper amount In the case OF a
pound OF ham or bacon"
The statement makes an interesting
contribution to the education which
consumers are nowadays receiving In
the matter Of profiteering. Certainly
railroads and Big Business have sins
enough 10 answer for but when the ac-
count l. finally balanced the plain
everyday American may discover that
he Is the victim less OF oppression high
er up than Of extortiOn lower down and
on his own level.
And the same can he said In regard
TO rates Of all public utilities. They
have had 10 meet greatly Increased
operating expenses for labor and sup
ply. The slight increase In rates which
they have been granted Is alm0st n
