or nine of the students on the team are
down in their studies and cannot continue
their football activity until the delin-
quency has been met
The general feeling here is that the
matter of studies is one that the Rutland
boys can settle if they are really anxious
to play Brattleboro or can use as an ex-
cuse i'll case they are not anxious to play.
Here is what the Rutland Herald saws
about the matter:
An unfortunate situation has arisen
in the local high school which may result
in the disbanding of its football team.
AS is required in all schools and colleges,
the local high school authorities demand
that all students taking part in athletics
shall have reasonably good standing in
their studies and about eight or nine of
R. II. S. football players have failed to
meet this requirement.
1T has not been definitely decided
whether or not football activity for the
present season has come to an end. 1t
has not been forbidden by any means
but until those players who are low in
their studies show some effort in theiI
school work there will be no more prac
tice and no more games"

If Too Thin Try
Bitro-Phosphat

While excessive thinness might be
attributed to various and subtle causes
IN different individuals, it is we'll
known fact that the lack of phos-
phorous in the human system is very
largely responsible for this condition.
1t seems to be well established that
this deficiency in PHOSPHORUS may
now be met by the use of Bitro-P hos-
phate, which can be obtained from any
good druggist in convenient tablet
form.
In many instances the assimilation
of this phosphate by the nerve tissue
soon produces a welcome change =
nerve tension disappears, vigor and
strength replace weakness and lack of
energy and the whole body loses its
ugly hollows and abrupt angles, be-
coming enveloped in glow of perfect
health and beauty and the will and
strength to be up and doing.
CAUTION. = While Bitro- Phosphate
is unsurpassed for the relief of ner-
yousncss, general debility, etc, those
taking it who do not desire to put on
flesh should use extra care in avoiding
producing foods.-Adv.

That the Metlakatla Salva- tion Army have some very fine music and singing cannot be gainsaid. We wish, how ever, that the English tongue will be more in evidence the future. Their visit bids fair to have a a wholesome effect on our town. It does people good to have a free chance to get up and relate their troubles while an army of sympathe- tic people sufrou3d the con fessing soul with music song. Let us hope that the benefit t will be lasting.

HOW BIG IS BILLION?

 How many of the people who speak of millions as of a bu- shel of potatoes and glibly talk about billions, have even a faint perception of what a billion is?
 If a man had spend $1 every minute ofevery hour, day and year since Jan, ADJ, until today,he would have spent a trifle over a billion dollors. In twenty dollar gold pieces one billion dollars, if stacked would make a column "A miles high. If the coins were laid flat they would form a line 1000 miles long. In $1 bills, fastened end to end,it would make a strip about 118,5OO miles long, or approximately half the dis tance from the earth to the moon.
 If you received 5 10. a day 360 days of the year during a life of 50 productive years just figure how much longer you would have to live and work in order to approx innate, even a half million. Oh it's easy if yon say it quick.

Weather changes are heralded II

the weight of air. The cyclo-stormo-
graph is a delicate weighing machine.
1t foretells the behavior of the wealth
er, as regards its weight in exactly
the same way as the fever thermo-
meter foretells fever by a change IN
the temperature of the patient.
When the weather is in balance"
the stormography will trace a straight
line on its chart When the weather
will change for the worse, it will trace
downward line. The tracing will
also show a falling line for warmer
weather and an upward line for cooler
weather The greater the fall or rise,
the greater will be the change in that
direction.

OCALA NEEDS
A NEW HOTEL
Additional Facilities are Required to
Increase the Number of
Winter Visitors

If Ocala would increase the number
of her winter visitors, and get her
share of the crowds that will flow into
Florida, there must be an INCREASE in
the city's hotel facilities. This was
developed at the Board of Trade meet
ing last night, to which the hotels had
been invited to send representatives
The Harrington Hall hotel was the
only hotel represented at the meeting.
The Florida House had notified the
Board of Trade that its proprietor,
Mr.. Dobbs, was out of the city. The
Harrington was represented by Mr..
w. NJ. Palmer and Mr.. Wilson.
The need of the city is hotel, away
from the business section, designed to
meet the special requirements of the
winter visitors who wish to come here
for an entire season or part. IL
should be hotel with large verandas,
parlors, sun parlors, and similar ac-
commodations for women and chill
dren. Mr.. Palmer, of the Harrington,
expressed the opinion last night that
such a hotel would be success as
soon as it became known, and would
be a help to the hotels that are al
ready here. The more hotel accom-,
modations Ocala has, the greater will
be the number of people coming here.
The next move will be to determine
how the new hotel is to be obtained.
In Orlando the Board of Trade is pro-
noting the building of a $250,000 ho-
tel by forming a stock company OF
local capital.

TOTING WATER ON
BOTH SHOULDERS

That Gov. Cats makes the kind of
speech he thinks his auditors want to
hear and that he by no means uses
the same kind of talk in all sections
has long been known, but there is no
more striking evidence of it than in
the following expose from the Jack
sonville Metropolis of Tuesday eve
ming. The Metropolis speaks of the
kind of talk the governor made in the
labor temple at that city a few days
ago as part of his race for senator
and then has the following comment
and an extract from a talk he made
about union carpenters at a speech in
Washington, March 3, 1919, before
the conference of governors and may
ors:
"In a speech few days ago at the
Labor temple in this city," says the
Metropolis, "Gov. Sidney ]. Cats, de-
string to capture votes in his race for
the United States Senate, gave his
audience lot of bull about the great
interest he was taking in the welfare
of labor. And probably some of the
audience, who did not know the gov
e1nor, believed all he said along this
line.
"Just to show the insincerity of
the governor and what he says about
the laboring man when the laboring
man is not around, the following is a
true copy of a stenographie report Sc
cured by the Metropolis from Wash
ington of a speech made by the gov
ernor of Florida, Sidney j. Cats, be-
fore the conferences of governors and
mayors in the national capital, March
8, 1919. This matter which is print,
ed below is that portion of the gov
ernor's address at that gathering
which dealt with his attitude toward
labor and will prove an interesting
contrast and will show how Gov. Sid.

MOVEMENT MADE
FOR SYRUP MILL
New Industries Committee of the
Board of Trade viii Investigate
Its Possibilities

At the Board of Trade meeting last
night the possibilities of a syrup mill
in Ocala were discussed, and to the
new industries committee of the board
has been referred the task of investi-
eating TO determine whether such
mill would succeed here. 1t is believ-
ed that mill putting on the market
"a standardized Florida syrup, in at
tractive packages, would be a success.
Marion county has good sugar cane
lands. The history of cane produc-
ton in this county goes back to the
time Of the Spanish settlers. Florida
syrup is acknowledged to be of very
superior quality. The difficulty in the
past has been a lack of standardiza-
rtion.
