covered the country. According to
our forecasts of long ago, California,
Florida, Maine and the oil sections
still stand out as the largest areas of
relative prosperity. Even in these re-
gions, however, there are signs of ap-
preaching defation. A wave of de-
preston has crossed the country. The
next wave will eventually come to con-
slider which localities offer the best
prospects for early Improvement.
This, of course. is big and compli-
Gated subject. In a general way, it
may be said that the wave of improv-

SOUND AND FURY

The following from the Louisville,
KY, Times is a specimen of the adj
vertising Cats has been procuring
for Florida for four years:
The average Floridian, observing in
the Times Union or the Tampa Tri-
bune that the Reverend Sidney J.
Cats is on the loose again will yawn
and turn to more interesting reading.
The serious-minded resident of the
Iarboreal peninsula will scowl at the
thought that Florida's governor is
giving her some more bad advertis-
ing. Back amid the palmetto and at
the edge of the mangrove sawmp,
the cracker, when he gets around to
hearing about it will smack his lips
with appreciation of Cats, kick three
lean hounds and a rattlesnake to one
side and aim a stream of terbacker
at the distant bayou.
Beyond these manifestations, there
is no possible Importance to the fact
that the Reverend Governor Sidney
has norated it around that he pro-
poses to take down his trusty shotgun
and punctuate Herewith the hide,
gizzard and vitals of newspaper
publisher of West Palm Beach. The
publisher is connected with the state
board of health, which is an omen OF
good luck for him, but he really
doesn't need it. The Reverend Gov,
ernor Sidney will probably never fire
the shotgun at him, and if he does
will take care that the cartridges are
wet.
For Governor Cats is the final ir

Many residents of Ocala are kept
in constant worry by boys shooting al
the squirrels which are numerous in
the city. The shooting has been Sc
persistent lately that many people are
afraid to. let their children go out of
doors, lest one be hurt. and even tn
elder people stand chance of being
hit. 1t is against the city ordinance
to shoot the squirrels; it is also I'M
lawful to shoot with gun. air rife
or even sIingShot in the city limits
The police should stop this practice
before someone is badly hurt. The
Star. however, sympathizes with boys
Who want to shoot, and suggests that
the authorities set them aside a tar.

Not personally acquainted with
brother J. H. Benjamin, the able edi-
tor of the Ocala Star, but we like that
man, just from reading his para
graphs. We even like for him to
"yump on u.s." so to speak, cause we
learn something and the "sting" is
left out. Brother Benjamin has that
remarkable gift. He can "call YOU
and not make you angry.-Clearwater

words; we are almost afraid to meet
you lest we lose your favorable opin-
ion.

CHRISTMAS

Tomorrow is Christmas-the sew
cath of a series of extraordinary
Christmas days.
That of 1914 was one of apprehen-
sion--our world of tranquility and
order had gone to pieces-the blaze
Of the great confagration mounted so
high that we, 1000 miles away, could
not only see it's lurid light, but feel
it's baleful heat and dread it's fearful
scope.
That of 1916 was to the many one
Of false security and selfish prosper
ity-to the thoughtful few of worry,
for we knew where we were drifting,
and knew we were drifting unprepar-
ell.
That of 1916 was of hope and fear
to the mob-a cowardly hope to con-
tinue rolling in safety and wealth, a
selfish fear that it would be COM
PEELED to do it's duty, to lose profits
and have its skin fractured-but the
soul of the patriot was uplifted as he
saw America was awakening to a
light that was driving away the fogs
Of fear and greed.
That of 1917 was of exaltation, OF
love of country, of defiance to evil, of
courage, of great work with willing
hands, of self-sacrifice, of soul knit
ting to soul as we rubbed shoulders
in our mighty task and rejoiced in our
rapidly increasing strength and the
great victory we knew we should win
That of 1918 was of triumph-we
had won with a swiftness and ease
q that surprised the stay-at-homes, tho
10 those who fought and worked in
the mire in which were trampled the
lilies of France the days had been
long and the task mighty-we had not
had time to count the cost-we only
b knew that with one heave of our ma
tons mighty strength the foe had
- been hurled from his throne, that
America had proved itself peer
among the nations, and that our vic
tOrious sons were coming home.
That of 1919 was one of extrav.
,Agance-our victory had gone to oul
heads, we had money to burn-anc
We knew if we didn't burn it soor
some one else would burn it for us
We had forgotten the yesterday; we
took no thought for the morrow; we
had -dethroned Christ and exalted
Sardanapalus; we sat at the feast
with Belshazzar and rocked not of the
hand we knew was certain, sooner OF
later, to write on the wall.
This will be a Christmas of realiZa
tion-we have footed up the bill ane
discovered how much is the least we
must pay. We are glad for day il
which the joy of children may be I'M
confined and the older folk may com
pei themselves to forget to worry
We can be thankful, altho' we have
found that our worst foes live beneath
4 cur flag, that we have so much thai
On good and wholesome left, and if We
do our duty by ourselves we will con
tinue to hold aloft the Light of the
World and of Liberty be the greatest
Eulwark.
On America more than any Other
nation depends what the worlds mex
