Proclamation

October 9th, the anniversary Of
the Chicago fire, has been set apart
by the common consent of the peo-
pie of the United States as a day to
be dedicated to the prevention of
fire waste and accident. We are to
call a pause in our lives and turn
ourselves to reflection on the useless
waste occasoned by prcventable fire
aud the human toll that is taken
daily by avoidable accident. The
imperative necessity of conserving
our resources during the war in order
that we might destroy the enemies
of our country. early aroused our
national and state governments to
the importance and necessity of
eliminating preyentable fire waste
and accident, and great campaigns
were conducted all over the country,
to this end. The results were imme.
diate and marvellous. The people
responded to the call, and It was
clearly demonstrated that this waste
may be kept within reasonable
bounds by the exercise of fore
thought and common sense.
The safety of our people and the
progress Of the state is directly in
volved in this question. To prevent
injury and death due to avoidable
accident is commanding duty. To
reduce the fire waste and thereby
conserve our material resources is a
problem pressing for attention The
cost of fire and accident insurance,
an enormous total, Is measured in
the terms of losses and the certain
way to reduce this embargo on our
prosperity is to reduce losses. That
losses may be reduced more than
one half by the exercise of ordinary
care and precaution on the part of
all the people is everywhere conceded
Therefore, hereby designate
Thursday, the 9th day of October as
fire and accident prevention day and
earnestly urge its observance by
our people in every community in
the state | most urgently recon-
mend:
That the heads OF families and the
good women of the state make a
careful inspection OF their homes for
fire dangers of every Kind Look toI
your heating hazards. See that your
chimneys are safe. and ihat pour

up and dispose Of all waste and
rubbish of every kind.
That business men, merchants and
manufacturers, go through Their prem
iscs from garret to basement in
search OF fire hazards that may be-
removed or remedied 1t is an inn
perative duty to make needed chan
ges and improvements. Your own
security and the safety of your en-

2.ll3 Ships in Our Mer.
chant Marine When War
Ended; More Needed
Sees Rivalry Ahead
Battle for World Trade Will
Find United States to
Fore, Federal Official Says

WASHINGTON, March %. - The
limited States has emerged from the
crucibe of the great war as potentially
the greatest maritime power of the
world, according to Chairman Edward
n. Hurley, of the United States Ship
ming Board, who to-day presented
voluminous report of his trip overseas,
where. for three months, he conducted
r searching inquiry into the shipping
interests of foreign nations. This re-
mort is to be used in constructing a
policy of ownership and operation for
the American merchant marine.
Shipbuilding facilities which evolved
in the United States as by magic after
the declaration of war, have placed Amer
lea in the enviable position where sus-
tanned effort will enable her to chal-
lenge the world eventually in the mat
ter of merchant marine \and outdis-
tauce all other nations in the race to-
ward replacing a shortage of 1926 900
gross tons of shipping lost as a re-
suit of unrestricted German submarine
warfare and of the failure of normal
increase by new production, the report
shows.
Mr.. Hurley estimated that in July,
1914, the seagoing steam bottoms Of
the world totalled 41,225,000 gross
$sns, which was reduced by war to st.
100000 gross tons, net loss of a.
225,000 gross tons. In addition, he
stated, there was a loss of 100000
gross tons, which would have been
constructed if war had not stopped the
normal increase in production, making
a total loss of 16,225,000 gross tons.
Germans Lost More
The Allies and neutrals suffered "a
total loss by enemy action, marine
risk and capture of 15,21S,000 gross
tons, Mr.. Hurley said, and gained by
new construction and seizure of enemy
ships 14.249.000 gross tons, leaving a
net loss of 100000 gross tons. The net
loss to the Central Powers was even
greater, since they lost 3,0l6,000 gross
tons and gained only 100000, differ
ence OF 2,276,000 gross tons.
Only two countries. the United
States and Japan, have larger amount
Of tonnage now than when the war be-
gan. Japan showed net gain of 25
per cent, Mr. Hurley reported, while
the United States jumped far in the
lead with 4 net gain of 125 per cent

MINORITY REPORT
is SENSIBLE.
Alteration Or Rejection of Peace
Treaty Would Cause Untold
Harm to America
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Sept. 11-Rejection or
alteration of the peace treaty by the
United States would result in the loss
by this country of all concessions
gained from Germany at Versailles,
according to the minority report Of
the Senate foreign committee, filed
today. The report urged speedy ratl-
fcation of the treaty without amend
ments or reservations and accused
the majority of the committee of de-
laying it's report, which could have
been made last July. The minority
report also declared early signing
would help restore unrest. The league
of nations organizes the world for
peace, said the report and establishes
the principle of arbitration in inter-
national disputes, giving parties to
a controversy nine months for adjust
ing their agreements amicably. The
economic advantages gained by the
United States through the treaty and
the difficulty of forcing Germany to
sign separate peace were emphasiz-
ed in the report.

ABOUT SCHOOL BOOKS
Ocala. Fla. September l

Ocala, Fla, September 10.
| wish to call attention to the con-
dition in regard to school books.
The last legislature made provision
for the revision of the list of text
islature did not adjourn until June
9Th and then the text book commits
sion, consisting of number of super
jntendents and leading teachers had
to be assembled in Tallahassee and
they went into the merits of all the
text books published in the country
and made a very careful recommen-
dation to the state board of education
which has the final passing upon the
books to be adopted.
This board consists of the governor
and his cabinet and they took time to
consider the books to be adopted and
to hear arguments from the represen.
tGtives of the several book publishing
houses and they then made their adop-
tion which is complete with the exv
ception that there should be a formal
proclamation by the governor of the
adoption of text books and this has
rot yet been made.
We are proceeding upon the as
sumption that this will be made in due
course of time and that the books as
adopted by the board will be those
proclaimed as adopted.
This explanation is made to ac-
count for the lateness of the adoption
and the delay in getting the books.
The Book Shop Of Ocala will be the
authorized dealers for Marion county
as heretofore and they will have the
newly adopted books as soon as they
can be obtained from the Florida
School Book Depository of Jackson
vile, and they will have them as soon
as they can be gotten from the pub
fishers. No one will make any time
by ordering from others than the
authorized dealers and we cannot say
just when the newly adopted texts
will be on the market but hope to
have them in full supply by Octobep
1st.
There is no change in the high
school text books from those used for
the past two years and my advice and
instructions are to use the old books
until the newly adopted texts can be
gradually introduced and the old ones
gradually displaced. In fact there
will be many classes that can be car
ried forward with the old books for
the entire term We shall be glad to
furnish book lists to those interested.
Very respectfully,
j. H. Brinson, Supt.

DATES FIXED FOR
THE MOTORCYCLE
Lake and Marion Will Make Trip On
Separate Days

1t has been agreed that the Marion
ard Lake county motorcade shall be
held on separate dates. The commit
tees in charge of the motorcade of
10th counties have agreed that it
will be best not to attempt a joint
trip, for the reason that it will prove
to be too unwieldy ON the road.
Mr.. Willis B. Powell, secretary Of
the Lake County Board of Trade. and
Mr.. r. w. Cogsdill, of Tavares, q
prominent member of the citrus ex-
change, motored to Ocala last night
to consult with the secretary of the
Board of Trade with regard to the
dates for the proposed trips. Lake
county has decided to hold its motor
cade September 18th. The Marion
county motorcade will be held Sept.
23rd. A motorcade was held recently
by the Lake county people and it
proved to be such a great success
that a second one is being held. There
is a great deal of enthusiasm In Lake
county, and Mr.. Powell and Mr. Cogs-
dill say that they expect at least one
hundred cars in line. Each day now
the list of those going on the Marion
county motorcade is being increased.
The committee in charge desires to
know as soon as possible the names
of every one going, so that arrange
ments for the trip can be completed.
If you are going, hand in your name
to any member Of the committee in
charge, Mr.. q. G. Chambliss, Mr.. A.
c. Blowers, Mr.. r. S. Rogers. or to
the secretary of the Marion County
Board of Trade. How many will you
take with you in your car? If you
haven't a car, give in your name, 50
that a place in some car may be ar
ranged for. Those who fail to take
this trip are missing an opportunity
to see some of the wonderful develop
ments that have taken place in South
Florida. Among these is the beauti-
full development at Mountain Lake, in
Polk county. laid out by Frederick
Olmstead, of Brookline, Mass, prob
ably the foremost landscape architect
in the country. Another project on
what is said to be an even greater and
more elaborate scale, is now being
started in Polk county. 1t includes,
among other things, the development
of a wonderful submarine garden in
one of the clear water lakes in that
section of the state. This submarine
garden is being planned by a woman
who has become world famous for
such works of art.

BOARD OF TRADE
MEETS TONIGHT
Is Marion County Going to Have an
Exhibit at the State
Fair

Is Marion county going to have an
exhibit at the State Fair in Jackson
vile this year? This county won first
prize at the fair last year. In order
to retain the cup, it is necessary that
it be won three times in succession.
Does Marion want this cup? If so. it
is not too early to begin preparing
for an exhibit. If the county decides
to, enter the contest this year, she will
have to do better than last, for it is
known that other counties are going
tc make a strenuous effort to capture
the first premium.
The space which Marion county had
at the fair last year is still obtain
able, if the county wants it, but it will
be necessary to act quickly. If new
space is used, it will be necessary to
go to the expense of constructing a
ne wbooth. Just at present, interest
in an exhibit at the State Fair seems
to be at as low an ebb as does inter-
est in the county fair. An effort will
be made at the meeting of the Board
of Trade tonight to find out what
amount of sentiment there is in favor
of State Fair exhibit.
Other matters which will come up
at the Board of Trade tonight are,
the recommendation of the board of
governors for an endorsement of the
new Marion County Real Estate Ex-
change, the problem of handling real
estate inquiries received by the Board
of Trade, the motorcade into South
Florida, shortage of housing facili-
ties in the city and fall cleanup cam
paigns, and the possibilities of having
the "Pinellas Special" routed through
Ocala.
