MEETING OF THE LEGION

The meeting or the American Legion
Wednesday night was well attended.
The Post requests the press to extend
it's thanks to all those in the city and
country who so generously assisea
with the fitting DIP of the club rooms
and With the entertainment and exer-
cises incident to the opening of the
quarters last month. On Armistice
night the Post will give a masquerade
ball. 1t was decided that a formal
presentation of the Victory Medals on
that day would not be attempted. The
members of the Post feel that arrange
ments could not be made to give a
ceremony the dignity that it should
have. A committee has been appoint
ed to consider proposed Legion Day
at the coming Marion County Fair.
The Executive Committee of the
Post has approved the rules for the
club rooms as drafted by the House
Committee, and this latter committee

ANOTHER AND A FINE TEST
MONIAL-STlCk A BIG PIN
HERE

The aftermath of Charles Ponzi's
weird system of high finance has been
troubling monetary circles in Boston.
The task of separating New England
Yankee from his money, without CIV
ing adequate return for the same, is
usually ranked in the ut can't be
done Glass; but Ponzi did it. AS a
result, five banking institutions in that
city have been closed in the last two
months, and three savings banks have
invoked the aid of the law giving them
ninety days to pay depositors.
1t is bad business, and from this
distance the indications are that
Ponzi's trip to the penitentiary ought
to be taken in company with several
hitherto respected financiers. But
the most interesting item in the whole
story is one which the Associated
Press overlooked until The Journal
asked direct question on the matter.
Then the reply came over the wires:
In no case was the bank (that was
closed or is finding dicicuIty jim pay
ing it's depositors) member of the
federal reserve system.
One more testimonial to the value
OF that great democratic reform. It
has stood every test. 1t has given the
country safe banking system, a flex-
ible currency, relief from Wall street
domination, insurance against panics.
Ii any republican administration had
passed such law, G. o. P. orators
would be demanding the vote of the
people for the next thirty years as a
reward.
Do the people want the federal re-
serve system handed over to Wall
street control by the forces now back

These stores, which are without

Building Erected and Presented to
Town by the ArIo Box Company.
Miss Margaret Taylor of This
City is Principal

The pretty little town of Oak, near
our city was crowded on Tuesday,
October 9Th, the reason for this huge
crowd was that the new school house
was to be formally dedicaed.
The day was an ideal one and every
one was interested. A splendid pro-
gram had been arranged and was car
ried out in perfect order. Miss Mar
garet Taylor, of this city, who is the
principal of the school, was in charge
of the program and presided with
much ease and grace. The Oak school
is to be congratulated very highly up
on being able to have Miss Taylor for
principal as she has a splendid repu-
tation as teacher She has had much
experience in this work, she having
been for the past number of years a
teacher in the largest schools in New
York and New Jersey. She made a
short talk which was followed by Mr..
w. L. Colbert, who was former men,
Der of the school board.
His speech was responded to by Mrs.
E. L. Howell, who is member of the
local board. There were splendid adj
dresses made by Rev w. F. Creason,
pastor of the Presbyterian church, and
Rev. G. w. White. pastor o fthe Metho-
dist church; Frank Logan, president
of the Arlo Box Company; C. w. Hunt
er and H. G. Shealy. There was also
splendid music given and songs were
suing by the children.
After the delightful program came
to a close. the crowd was allowed the
privilege of inspecting the building,
and it is one to be pround of. 1t is
up-to-date and modern in every re-
spect, well lighted and ventilated. Il
will be a pleasure co teach and study
in such school room. We predict
a wonderful school term for the Oak
school.
After the inspection, real old fash
ion barbecue and southern style pic
mic was enjoyed The Ocala Rotary
Club with their wives attended this
affair in body, and helped serve the
dinner.
Never in the history of Oak has
there been such a large and enthusi-
astic crowd. 1t was estimated that
there was fully 500 people on the
grounds This school house is a gift
to the town of Oak from the Arlo Box
Company. who have their mill in that
place. The citizens accepted it with
most gracious bow and they have
a right to be proud of it.

HOW THE INCREASE IN FREIGHT
RATES WILL EFFECT THE Or
BINARY SHIPPER
Reddick, Fla, October 5, 1920


To the Editor Banner:
Many newspapers are showing how
little the increase of freight rates will
effect the general welfare of the peo-
pie.
Here is a statement of how it will
effect the shipper of fruits and vege-
tables in this state and | honestly be-
lieve the vegetable grower should
know what he is up against before he
begins planting.
The State Railroad Commission
wrote me saying that the rates on or
anges, car load lots, from Orlando to
New York in 1916 was 81 cents per
box, while the present rate, car load
lots, from same point to like point,
was $1.02 per box; an increase of Al
cents per box; on vegetables from Or
lando to New York, car load lots in
1916, per standard crate, was "A cents
per box in 1916, now is "a cents, an in
crease of 90 cents per crate.
The rate from Marion county may
be cent or two less per crate. Or
lando gives fair average of the whole
state.
Tnls means an increase of about
$4,000 per car, and if Florida will
ship a like quantity of fruit and vege-
tables as was shipped last year it will
mean an additional freight bill of
about 100000 in one year.
Here is an illustration of how it will
hurt the farmer:
Mr.. Lester Tinker, of Fairfield, Flor
ida. last year shipped 1900 one hun
six acres of ground. The increase
freight charges on crate of cabbages
over 1916 will be 60 cents a crate and
a 1900 crate shipment would cost Mr..
Tinker just $4,000 more than in 1916.
$3.50 per cabbage crate of 100
pounds is an average price of cab
bages in New York for Florida ship
ments.
The grower must pay about 20 cents
to cut. pack and haul crate to the
depot; must pay about 90 cents for
crate and making crate. The commits
sion charges mot including cartage)
will be % cents; the railroad freight
bill. not including war tax, will be
about $1.4S. The grower, not count
ing carriage and war tax, will get but
I cents out of the $3.50.
Grower! There is not cent Of
profit in cabbages at $3.50 per crate
under present cost of transportation
and cost of production.
Grower! The cabbage, potato and
onion crop is much larger this fall
than the general average, and if AS
large a crop is made as last year IN
the Southern States the sales will be
no more than $3.50 a crate on an aver
age and you will lose your cost of pro-
duction.
Grower! Say, if Florida and other
Southern states would produce but
% per cent of last years crop, then the
sales would be large enough to pay
you for your labor.
The consumer would be compelled
to pay the increase prices; the rail
roads would lose heavily. The ma
tional government would be compelled
TO make good the losses of the rail
raods, but the national government
will not make your losses good on cost
OF production. etc.
Grower, am going to go slow; am
going to plant but little providing my
neighbors VOL not plant enough to
ship car load lots.
Yours truly.
