GOVERNOR CATS AT
THE OXFORD PICNIC

Tallahassee. Fla. Aug. Is. 1919.
To the Ocala Banner: have read
your account of Gov. Cats speech
at Oxford.
note that he varied his 'marve
lous story" of what he did at Camp
Wheeler.
At st. Petersburg in relating the
same story, now more than year
ago, he said:
II found there were two officers
there (doctors) who were inocculat
ing our boys with pneumonia germs;
and you may take it from me that we
put them where they will never in
cculate any more Of our boys or any
one else for that matter
He left the impression upon his
audience that he had insisted on
shooting or hanging the outlaws. so
to speak.
Evidently the governor forgot how
he got off the same story at s.. Pc
tersburg.
OF course the story is all punk,
pure and simple. ..5.-s
4 I notice also in his Oxford address
he said nothing about going to Wash
ington and wading knee deep in snow
!, for three days before succeeding in
having. three train loads of clothing
shipped to Camp Wheeler.
The governor has forgetful men,
ory.
AS a matter of fact there was lit
tie if any snow in Washington at that
time and if there had been, the laws
of the district make it compulsory
for the property owners to keep it
off the sidewalks.
But. speaking about the conditions
OF Camp Wheeler: AS soon as Sen
ator Fletcher was informed about it
he Immediately went to Gen. Gorgas
who at once sent an inspecting off,
Ger and relief officers to the camp and
had additional help and supplies there
as hastily as possible.
You will recall that winter came
or early that year and the war de
partment had assembled large num-
bers Of men at all the camps-prob-
ably a mistake-and it's fact that
there was a shortage of bedding and
hospital facilities.

Prof. j. w. Bell, who is director
for North Mississippi in the campaign
for increased salaries for teachers
called meeting of the school trustees
and teachers of Lafayette County on
last Saturday.
While there wasn't majority of
either present, yet those who were
present were the leading citizens of
Lafayette county.

sence. of County Chairman NJ. d.

and entertained motions for a tempo

will make 4 hard fight for the build
ing. The Gulf Coast, with H. E
Blakeslee as its leader, expects to be
in the running, and it has been rumor-
ed that this section will be the clark

County chairmen, upon whom the
task of selecting site for the building
will fall are already being besieged
with the claims of the various cities.
They will meet in Jackson upon the
successful completion of the drive,
and together with the state executive
committee will settle. the most

Jackson, Miss, June 18.-With the
opening date for the Mississippi Me-

ing teachers salaries of Lafayette
county.
He cited other counties that are
making possible this increase and I'M
less this county made some steps in
this direction that the best teachers
would be forced to leave the profession
or go elsewhere to teach for it was
evident that increased cost of living
made the present salaries absolutely
inadequate to meet the needs of the
times.
Supt. McLarty then read report
from the County School Board with
reference to increased salaries as fol
lows:
eve the school board of Lafayette
County realizing further that such can
not be had with out more school funds
do hereby unhesitatingly favor a
larger school fund for the support of
our schools"
The meeting was then open to free
discussion. The trustees were asked
to express themselves not only in the
capacity as officials but as representa-
tive citizens of the county. In the
speeches that followed the following
school communities took active parts
Lafayette Springs, Hopewell, New
Hope, Kingdom, Paris, billiard, Bur
CESS, Taylor College Hill and others
The spirit of each speaker was fine
and there was not Tote sounded
against the progress of this move
ment, in fact the citizens realized
that not to line up in cause that
strikes at the very root of our civiliza
ton means blight on the future
citizenship Of this county.
Quite a number of teachers were
present, but they seemed anxious t
know the sentiments of the patron!
and trustees, consequently very few
spoke.
Eie body then went into permanent
organization with the election of the

in that, the contcnders for the build
ing are all expecting to raise their
full allotments first, and then to make
a fight for the building.
Commentator of the design of the
proposed Memorial has come from
many sources recently, and the idea
of having a great auditorium and war
museum, in addition to the purely
Memorial part of the building has been
especially praised.
The building will not be a silent
mauseleum, but a Memorial where
ideals of the past may be carried into
the future.

PHONE Rates
SHOOT UPWARD
Iowa Telephone Company
Raises it's Rates Here
From Is to so Cents
Per Month.
RURAL RATES STAND
City Attorney States Coun-
Gil may Make an 1nves-
tigatiOn.

If you have been reading the advcr-
tisements of the Iowa Telephone com
pany for the past several weeks, you
have suspected it.. And when you got
your telephone bill for this month, you
knew it. Telephone rates in this city
have taken shoot upward. Business
phones were raised so cents per nlo,th
and residence rates went up % cents.
Rural rates are not disturbed. .
The increased rates are announced by
the Iowa Telephone company by au-
thority of Postmaster General Burle-
son, under whose supervision all tele-
phone companies are being operated.
The company has been preparing local
patrons for the boost through its adj
vertisements for some time. It is
claimed on their part that the cost Of
operation and equipment has increased
and that there has been a correspond
ing decrease in it's profits.
Franchise Not Binding.
The Iowa Telephone company is OPP
Grating here under perpetual fran
chise, having been established here pri-
or to the enactment OF the franchise
law in Iowa. Their original franchise
fixed rates, but under a decision of
the supreme court, this franchise is
not holden on the company, they having
been established prior to the enact,
ment of the law covering franchises.
Council to Investigate.
Raises in telephone have been quite
general over the country. Some cities
are fighting the boost and others are
not. City Attorney ]. w. Lee, seen by
the Freeman-Journa regarding the at
titude to he taken here, stated that
the council would doubtless look into
the matter So long as the telephone
companies are controlled by the govern
ment, it is hardly likely that any ae-
ton can be taken toward lowering the
rates. It is the opinion Of Mr. Lee.
however, that the companies are taking
advantage of the fact that the lines
are now government controlled and are
raising their rates Just before the pro-
perties are turned back to private con-
troll Mr.. Lee believes that later the
council may possibly adopt an ordi-
nance fixing telephone rates, provided
that an investigation shows the present
rates to be too high.

SHAVED DANDIES
 MANY YEARS AGO
(Kansss City Star0

It was "bar's grease" and sweet begonia" that the well turned out bucks of granddad's time demanded when they entered a barber shop and climbed into the hard and uncomfort- able chairs. There were in those days no delicately scented dressings for the Cace and hair, no mentholated creams. They took their dandruff cures like they did their "pizen"-straight.
 The story of Dad Daniel Casterton, S6 years old, as told in the Detroit News gives a vivid picture of condi- tions when Detroit was a slumbering rivertown with dirt streets and houses low, squat and built of brick
 For 70 years old Dan has shaved and cut and shampooed and singed and done the merry shuffle on his old leather strop. He worked for nothing when he was boy and later for s a week; and those were the days when a shave was cents-unless the GUS toner had no pennies, when it was 5- Haircuts were 10 cents and shampoos and pomades were @ quarter but only the dandies demanded the latter.

 Strolling along on a summer evening were the bucks and dandies satin vests gleaming, brass buttons glitter ing, bell hats aslant, lace. ripping from the sleeves and down the shirt front, watch fobs clanking, vanished boots squeaking, canes swinging, stri- ped trousers held rigid by straps be- meath the feet.
 Every man was an orator, every man a politician, every man a sport familiar with dog fights and horse races and courting the toast of the town. Barbering was an art as well as a science. Whiskers were in fash ion, shampoos and pomades were mat ters for very careful deliberation. Into every shop they walked, everyone knowing everyone.
 It was: "Ha! Beaubien. that you? Evening, Alger. Russell. what's this hear about your buying Evening Star? Am I next, Dan?' Back came the cries of greeting, Jack, you scoundrel, they tell me that you have captured the heart of La Sylph. A dog. sir, that ls what you are.

 And for 70 years old Dan has gone on in his own little way. Every pro- ! fession has become revolutionized. His 1 has remained almost unchanged. The

 The planting and cultivation of these trees attracted widespread at- tention and the department of agricul- ture made some importations from China, materially increasing the num- Der of trees planted in the United States.
