Inc forty-elghterS bolted the third
party convention and assembled to-
form a fourth party. The more parties
formed by the dissatisfied republicans
and laborites adds brightness to the
democratic forces and assures the
election of Cox and Roosevelt.
We have copy of the new booklet,
"Ocala, Marion County, Florida" just
issued by the Marion. County Board
OF Trade. This booklet is admirably
printed and illustrated with beautiful
views of Marion county and 0calaI
and was compiled by Mr.. Louis H.
Chazal, the secretary of the Board of
Trade. The booklet, if widely circu-
lated outside the state, will surely
have a beneficial effect in bringing TO
our county many new settlers.
With this issue of the Chronicle. we
enter upon our tenth year and trust
it will be as prosperous as in the past.
We want to thank our subscribers
and advertisers for their liberal pat
ronage. On account of the high cost
of print paper and other materials
necessary in publishing a newspaper,
were were compelled to raise our adj
vertising rates on July 1st. Existing
contracts will remain in force until
January 1, 1921.
Cooperative marketing of the cit
rus crop has proven to be a notable
success by the Florida Citrus Ex-
change. More and more every year
the Independents are realizing that
the only thing to do is to allow the
exchange to handle their fruit and we
predict day when the exchange will
market and sell every orange and
grapefruit grown in the state of Flor
ida.
1t is said that thousands upon thou
sands of people in every walk of life
do not pay federal tax or license.
We believe that the government could
reach every man or woman liable to
pay by appointing representative in
every township, on a percentage
basis, to ascertain who should pay
tax or license.
The practice of allowing children
to drive motor cars is bad and has
been the cause of many accidents. We
believe there is a law prohibiting chill
dren under sixteen years of age driv-
ing autos. If we are right, why is not
the law enforced?
The recent rains have helped the
corn crop several percent and the
yield viii be about normal, but our
farmers should make arrangements
to save every grain from the weevils
by building alright bins and using
blsulphide
Marion county now has 81 dipping
watts. During the month of June
2760 head of cattle were dipped. Even
tually the tick will be eradicated from
this county and our cattle will double
in value. Keep up the good work.
At Chicago. the "Farmer-Labor'
party was launched and P. p Chris
tensen of Salt Lake City, Utah, was
nominated for the presidency and
Max S. Hayes of Cleveland was
named for the vice presidency.
We must compliment the Belleview
Utilities Co. on the fine quality of ice
it is putting out.
Mr.. Philip e. Murphy. of 0cala,
distributor for this section of the Es-
sex, Hudson and Studebaker high
class autoes and the famous Garford
trucks, has invaded this territory and
is meeting with remarkable success.
He recently sold to Mr.. Nathan Mayo
a Hudson super-six and to Mr.. j. T.
Carlton a Garford truck. His adver-
tisement will be found elsewhere.
Each week sees some Improvement
and addition to the Hart Lumber Cos.
plant The drying yards of this plant
are taking on good shape and racks
for curing the materials for making
crates and boxes are being added. But
there is one trouble which should be
rectified and that is the need of more
houses to house the help needed by the
mill
Gov. Cox has fired the first volley
of the campaign at Senator Harding,
by declaring .'the campaign will be
dedicated to the task of bringing
about peace with honor, readjusting
affairs of civilization and creating a
new day out of which we viii make
best of lessons of the past"
