BARRED
FROM ATHLETICS

Rex Powers of the Central Union
High has been barred from high school
athletics by the officers of the institu.
tion following the order issued by the
principal that Powers is classed as
professional having received money
from the management of the El Centre
Athletic Club for boxing on the regular
card Friday nights.
Powers is a fast track man and Is
considered by Coach RICHTER as one of
the mainstays of the team. His loss
will be felt very much by the local
team.
According to Harry Woodbury.. the
man cannot be legally disqualified
from the teams, for the FL Centre arena
is not a professional club, but an anna
teur one, conducted within the laws of
the amateur statutes. Mr.. Woodbury.
cited the case of Phil Mata, Pacific
coast amateur champion, who is at
present attending San Diego High. The
final outcome is undecided, although
Powers is out for the time being.

$4,000 SHEEP
Continued from page one)

enc of the pioneers in sheep raising in
the valley, is likewise one of those who
by constant study of the lambing in
dustIy, has succeeded in producing 100
per cent. lambs.
Last October he brought a band OF
5000 ewes from Utah, bred to Hamp-
shire bucks, to his ranch, six miles
south of Holtville, and already his rev.
enue in lambs is 1900. He will within
the next three weeks produce the ex-
pected 100 per cent to the number of
his ewes.
Explains Success.
Annually he buys Mormon or Utah
ewes in October after they are bred,
ships them to the valley and after a
month or two of top feed the stock is
ready for lambing. This, ne says, is
the secret of his phenominal success in
the sheep raising business. He learn.
ed his costly lesson in attempting to
breed ewes in this climate, and is a
firm believer that the climate here
produced a lassitude in the bucks
which prevents them from fulfilling
their rightful purpose here.
After the ewes have been fed for a
period of five or six weeks after lamb.

Leaders, including Chairman Cum.

would monOpolize the center of the

Mr.. Cummings expressed the opinion
that it would be the only issue to be
carried to the convention floor.

OUR GARAGES

This paper tips it's hat to the Car
roll Motors Company for the splendid
garage it is now erecting and which
is nearing completion.

ten saving his own lumber. The task
is now complete and the lumber is
being rapidly placed on the ground,
and this new building will soon rear
its stately head and in its line will
help give Ocala a distinctive reputa-

The Simmons trade for the
block north and west of the Baptist
church is about consummated and
these two enterprising young gentle
men purpose building the finest and
most ornamental automobile housing
plant in the interior of the state and
perhaps as fine as any in any of the
larger cities.
Ocala already has one one story
two tw0story and one three-story
brick garages, number of wooden
buildings and when our new buildings
are completed she may well be named
the automobile city"
Our next great want is large
tourist hotel. Our banks are bulging
with money which would do well to
get busy i'm this direction. Nothing
would make Ocala grow more rapidly

"SiLENT POLICEMEN" ON STREET
HELD TO BE DESTRUCTION

A silent policeman" Sc called, used
at street intersections for traffic pur-
loses has been he'd to be an obstruc-
tion by the Connecticut supreme
court.
The decision carries with it verdict
Of $500 against the city of New Ha-
ven for injuries sustained by occu
pants Of an automobile that struck
one Of the silent policemen"
Ocala's silent policemen, if run
against, would cause serious damage
to cars and their occupants, and
might involve the city in serious liti
cation and loss.
Mr. Carlisle Izlar's plan is the best
we have heard suggested
Instead of the tall policemen" as
now, use cement squares instead, rails
ed about six or eight inches above
the surface, with beveled sides.
They would be lasting, and if run
against by accident would do no dam
age to the car or occupants.
