Experts from an agricultural COL
lege somewhere in New York, are
suggesting water dogs for the exter-
mination of mosquitoes in rain barrels
and water troughs. The little animals
will live, so it is said, and thrive, in
water not too filthy, and do not injure
the water. Around farm houses es-
pecially, water troughs are the prin-
cipal source of mosquitoes. One water
dog for each ten cubic yards of water
in reservoirs, mill ponds, and such
| like, will be sufficient to keep them
free from the pests. Now please tell
US where do we get the water dogs
and how? We have the mosquitoes.

Maybe you have not noticed it, but
there are developments going on in
''this here" double-team town. A GER
tain dear little boy has built rabbit
coop; yessiree, we are coming along;
our city is coming along.
Those who fail to give attention,

Ocala does not need the chronic
kicker, who goes about town with his
little Ratchet. ready to strike on any
provocation. Such a one is a nuisance
| and menace to any community, espec-
tally so in as old and aristocratic
town as Ocala.
Silver Springs is worth a billion
dollars to Ocala and Marion county.
We are told that all who see it get
that conception of it.
Persons who neglect the appear
ance of their property, suffer directly.
In this city are many beautiful homes,
pretty lawns and flower gardens, but
at the same time there are others
which show the lack of flowers and
shrubbery and greater lack of care.
The lamented D. L. Moody truly
said, "There is no one beyond the
reach of temper" Keep that in mind.
Life may run smoothly for many ID
year, but a testing time will come.
You part is to be ready for it.
Sad but true it is, that every i'm
perfectly educated person, that is, i'm
perfectly educated in regard to speak
ing and writing, writes Theoretically
and seemingly cannot write in any
| other way. Newspaper editors are the
greatest sufferers from the FREEDOM
mating evil ways. every day receiving
more or less correspondence that
makes them tear their hair and gnash

Have you ever thought how many
people profess a love of nature who
| have never met the good old dame;
know nothing about her or her ways?
A very short shelf would hold all the
books written these days by men who
live what they write. A real nature
lover is as rare as John Burroughs
and Enos Mills. One-third of the
country people do not appreciate their
environments, otherwise they would
not be in such haste to give up the
plenty and privacy of their home
acres for a twenty-foot lot and a
dinky porch on a village street. Life
I'D the great and glorious country is
as intangible and indescribable as
the tints of morning and evening, and
to the writer as strangely sweet and

A good slogan is: make your home
place a thing of beauty and your
neighbors will think better of you"

fortnight's visit to relatives in Michi-

10 degrees in the Pullman car while
speeding through the southern middle
states. At the same hours of the fol-
lowing day, when within the borders
of her state of adoption, Florida, a
temperature of 80 degrees was most
refreshing. How's that for the sun
