HOUSING DEMAND
GREAT IN OCALA
The City Faces a Serious Shortage in
Residence and Business
Properties

A situation has developed in Ocala
tLat is both serious and encouraging.
There Is shortage of every form OF
housing. There is a demand for resi-
dences, apartments, store rooms,
warehouses and increased hotel IA
cIlitIes. There are persons In the city
hunting Tor residences and apart
ments who nave not been able to find
them. The demand, of course, is for
residences and apartments that are
desirable. No one wants rundown
properties. There has been a sudden
increase IN the demand for warehouse
space, and 1t is not available.
1t is believed that the next few
months will see a big increase In
building operations In the city. There
Is considerable hesitation because of
the high prices IN building materials,
and the increased wages demanded by
skilled labor. 1t is known that other
parties want to build and have been
unable to go ahead because of the sud
den demand on contractors. Some
easement of the situation is expected,
but the opinion is general all over the
country that there will be no drop in
the costs of material. The belief is
that the country must go ahead OF the
new price level.
1t is evident beyond doubt that a
spirit of regained confidence has taken
hold of Ocala. The concensus of ex-
pressed opinion is that the city is be-
ginning a period of unprecedented
prosperity. The opportunity is here
for building a greater city. 1t will not
be built by talk. Money must be spent.
The time has come for thinking in
terms of thousands and hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. The housing de-
mand is nationwide. and the cities
that meet this demand first are going
to get the people.

MUSTERS
A SMALL ARMY
But Governor of the State is Slow to
Employ 1t Against DisOr-
derIy Element
(Associated Press)

Chicago, July 3O.-Gov. Lowden
hesitated to order soldiers to take
charge of the city, although with the
arrival today of two more regiments,
eight thousand men were resting on
their arms ready to quell disturbances
instantly. The list of dead had reach
twenty-seven and the number of injur-
ed nearly one thousand since the be-
ginning of the riots Sunday. The
Ninth Regiment from the southern
part of the state and the Tenth from
central Illinois rushed toward Chicago
toady to add their rifles and their
machine guns to the potential army
already here. Coroner Hoffman an
nounced this morning that he had i'm
paneled jury to investigate deaths
resulting from the riots.

value of farm products of Marion
county in 1918 was over $500, 900.
This represented a greater variety
than any county in the state, showing
27 kinds of field crops and 16 of vege-
tables, besides citrus and other fruits
and nuts.
Marion leads in the production of
cantaloupes, and is third on water

That's going some.

She's my idea of a good housekeeper,

SENT THE TREATY
TO THE SENATE

Washington, July 3O.-The special
treaty with France, promising imme-
diate American aid to that republic
III repelling any unprovoked attack
BY Germany, was sent to the Senate
yesterday by President Wilson
F.. In his message urging ratification
the president declared the promise a
temporary supplement" to the treaty
with Germany and the league Of ma
tiOns covenant, designed to give
France protection in an emergency
without awaiting the advice of the
league to act" He pointed out that
similar promise had been made by
Great Britain and said that by the
obligation the United States but par
italy discharged a debt to France
which nothing can pay" in full.

know what I'm talking about.
And if / wanted to fill this story
full of figures and statistics generally,
could get some of the incest, fattest,
juiciest punches you ever held before
your eyes. I'm telling you, this Miss
Ocala (of Marion county, Florida), is
some attractive lady. She's got the
goods, if you know what that means,
and | dare you to write to the secre-
tary of the Board of Trade and ask
him anything about his county or
city. You'll get a reply so quick
you'll think the answer was written
before your letter got to him.
And it is the same way with the
Ocala Motor Club. Their secretary
has nine medals (gold medals) which
he has won for promptness. And
what's more, he tells you what you
want know about roads and every
thing. He's an authority on those two
subjects.
Furthermore, he draws a salary q
won't say how much), and if any S.
0. S. from a member of the Florida
State Automobile Association (or A.
A. A. from any state) asking for tour
ing information which he receives is
not answered in two minutes by a
stop-watch, he is fined and his medals
taken from him. This has never hap
pened, understand, but it just shows
how Miss Ocala regulates her house
hold affairs.
And what would you say if / told
you that Miss Ocala has some fine
plans for the future? Plans which are
soon to be put in operation. l don't
mean that she expects simply to pow
der her nose and take another look in
the mirror (although that's good bus
iness, at that, but what I'm talking
about is that she's going to have some
further improvements, some added

you which will not permit you TO drop
the matter here. There is a better
way of handling the CRATER than by
merely ignoring his advances.
Go to your bank. Hand over to its
officials the printed prospectus which
you may have received, or lacking
that, whatever data you have on the
individual who has tried to get your
bonds, together with the name of the
stock he is offering for the sale.
If the investment is safe one your
banker will tell you so. But if it is
doubtful or if the banker has no in
formation concerning it, he will re-
port the case to the Federal Reserve
Board. When the report reaches
Washington the government will in
terest itself 1t will determine wheth-
er the stock offered TO you is of value
and whether the promises for it are
false or true. 1t will, in this manner,
be- informed of new stock schemes and
IL can, through the Federal Trade
Commission, take up the case much
sooner than will be possible if it is
compelled TO wait several months for
complaints from investors who are
finally convinced that they have been
defrauded.
Do not under any circumstances be
fooled by the stock swindler's state
ment that the banks and "big busi-
ness" are against him and depreciats
his stock because they want to seize
control of his company. That is an
other old dodge. The legitimate stock
broker will not object to government
investigation. Such men and con-
Germs do not fear investigation. They
welcome it because they are anxious
70 protect their standing and their
line of business by wedding out the
crooks who live on borrowed reputa-
tions.
