WANT TO BOOST
PASSENGER RATES
Railroads Ask to Raise Passenger
Freight and Pullman Car Rates
Would Raise Milk Tariffs.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-To pro-
vide the additional revenues necessary
to meet the $600,000,000 increase in
wages awarded by the railroad labor
board the railroads of the country pro-
posed Yesterday to the Interstate Com
merce commission that passenger rates
be advanced 20 per cent and freight
rates 9.13 per cent in addition to the
27.6 per cent previously requested.
They also proposed that surcharge
of so per cent be made on Pullman
fares, that excess baggage rates be in
creased 20 per cent and that milk tar
ifs be increased to the same level as
freight rates.
Should the increases proposed yester-
day and those previously asked for be
granted in full existing freight rates
would be advanced 36.9 per cent and
the nation s freight bill would be in
creased by $l,355,370,675. The total
which would be added to the passenger
revenue under the railway executives
plan would be 1898, 1927 ,9S2 annually.
Pullman charges would go up $4,000,
344 a year; the revenue on milk would
be increased 1862 ,OS9 and excess bag
gage charges would be advanced by ST.
42O,995.
The plan presented by the railroad
executives disclosed that they have es-
timated the wage award at approx
mately $626,O000OO, instead of the
$500, 100000 figured by the labor board
Alfred p. Thorn, general counsel of the
Association of Railway Executives, ex-
planned that the $26.000,O00 additional
was figured on the basis of overtime
allowances provided in the award.

COLD FRAMES.
Every Home Gardener Needs One to
Start Seeds Early,

Every Home Gardener Needs One to
Start Seeds Early.
Every gardener needs a cold frame
and once he has had one he can t real
ize how he ever got along without one.
They are not expensive, as a practical
working frame can be made of a soap
box and small sash. 1t is nothing moro
than box with a glass cover and old
window sash with homemade sides can
be made up easily enough. The only
requisite is a southern exposure and
sufficient slant so that rain and melt
ing snow will drain off
They may be had in all sizes from
the home made soap box and sash to
big affairs with concrete sides and
double glass sash. The whole principle
is the glass and the protection of glass
is remarkable in prolonging growth
A cold frame enables a gardener to
grow head lettuce often into December
unless it is an unusually severe fall.
Parsley may be kept growing for kit
chen use and picked at every thaw.
Pansies delight in the shelter of a
frame and bloom until frozen and then
start right III again when it thaws in
the spring. This series from time to
time will deal with cold frame posi-
bilities. Their chief value in early
spring is for starting seeds of various
stand considerable cold and, light
freeze, such as lettuce, asters, and other
seeds that need to be started early.

Ma And The oniia Board

L don't know what it's all about, but Ma
wants to know
If spirits in the other world can really
l t&lk to us below
An Pa says, Gosh there's folks enough
on earth to talk to, should think.
Without you pesterin' the folks whose
souls have gone across the brink"
But Ma, she wants to find out things an
study on her own accord,
An so a month or two ago she went an
bought a ouija board,
It's just a shiny piece of wood with letters
printed here an there
An has little table which you put your
fingers on with care,
An then you sit an whisper low some
question that you want to know.
Then by an by the spirit comes an makes
the little table go,
An Ma, she starts to giggle then an Pa
= just grumbles out, ooh, Lord
1 wish you hadn't bought this thing. We
didn't need a ouija board
"You're moving it," says Ma to Pa.
TIN not!' says Pa. Il know it's you;
You're maxim it spell things to us that
you know very well aren't true"
THAT isn't so.' says Ma to him, ''but
am certain from the way
The ouija moves that you're the one
who's tellin' it Just what TO say"
Its iUst aeetricitt,' says Pa, 'like bat
teries all men are stored,
But anyhow I don't believe we ought to
have ouija board"
One night Ma got it out, an said" Now
Pa, 7 want you to be fair;
just keen right still an" let your hands
rest lightly on the table there.
ooh, Ouija, tell me, tell me true, are we
to buv another car,
An will we get it verv soon?" she asked
ooh. tell us from affair."
Don't buy q car" the letters snelled.
"the price this year YOU can't afford
Then Ma got mad, an since that time
she's never used the ouiia hoard.

Methodist
Ole Hanson.s early Ambitions.

In the Worlds Work Ole Hanson
thus relates the unique circumstances
of his first night at Seattle: "When |
came to Seattle In 1902. / pitched my
tent on Beacon hill, close-in, nonset-
tied part of the city. The first night
arrived stood on the hill and saw the
child-cIty spread out before me. Below
me TO the west were the tide lands COW
cred with bulrushes. with an occasion
al street on stills running over them
TO the north was the city ablaZe with
Light with small buildings, narrow
streets, a station house for depot and
hills and hills, covered with forests.
"Around the fire that night / told
the curious who had gathered to watch
the strangers that we had come to
Seattle TO make 1t our home, to be
part of its growth, and that some day
I would be It's mayor. OF course, they
laughed at the idea of the red-headed
stranger with his team and covered
wagon becoming the mayor OF their
city of 100000 people"

cxechs Superb Artists.

AS artists, the Czechs have power,
Imagination and superb technique.
Their sketches show the pride and
manhood of the Czech soldier, who has
gone through all the demoralizing ex-
Deriences that have ruined the Rus
SLAMS, but has come through clean and
sound.
The Czechs are musical. To hear
the marching songs of the Russian
soldiers in Petrograd was inspiring.
But the Czechs have more than music
In their singing-they have a chal-
lenge and a promise. The Czechs
sing as though they were creating
a "Marseillaise' and not simply re-
peating 1t.
Czech music, whether 1t be the
marching song among the box cars,
or the violin solo I'm the Red Cross
car among the wounded, is like that.

BELLEvIEW GUN AND ROD CLUB

Belleview, March 19.-With the
ever genial mayor of the town, o. M.
Gale, as it's recording secretary, and
the eloquent pastor of the local Meth
odist church. Rev S. E. Lawhon. as
its vice president, the Belleview Gun
and Rod Club was brought into being
at a meeting held last evening.
The other officers elected are as
follows: President. Fred F. Wendell;
corresponding secretary, R. G. Belts;
treasurer, E. S. French; captain,
Thomas L. Hames; sub-captain, Frank
Gale. Fourteen members were en-
rolled and the charter membership
was held open for one month, at least
six others who desired to join being
unable to be present at the initial
meeting.
The new club will "get bssy" i'm
mediately, it's first trap-shoot being
fixed for Thursday next, and as few
of the members have ever fired at
clay birds, the shoot is bound to prove
uncommonly interesting. A bait cast
for the near future.
The objects of the club as defined
by it's constitution are broad and well
defined, as follows: ''To promote good
fellowship and the sportsmanlike use
of gun and rod; to implant and in
crease respect for laws affecting
game of all species and to assist all
other measures and movements de-
siggned to preserve and protect all
useful game; to collect, exchange and
disseminate information relating to
such birds, fishes and animals; to ar
range and hold amateur contests re-
quiring the use of rod and gun, or
other implements of sport. and other
wise to serve the interests of it's men,
bers." -
The clubs bylaws forbid the Civ
ing or acceptance of cash prizes and
side-bets of cash between members,
rock on which many clubs and per-
sonal friendships have been smashed

OCALA HIGH SCHOOL
DEFEATED WILLISTON

Yesterdays ball game between the
OcaIa and Williston school teams was
called at AIS with the Williston boys
at the bat. They failed to score. The
first man up for Ocala was Connor,
who knocked a grounder to short and
was shut out on first. Hensley made
a safe hit, knocking liner between
second base and short~stop. Smith and
Winer both made hits. one knocking a
grounder which let Hensley score, the
other fly which was taken by Willis
tons outfeld.
Williston played good baseball and
Ocala failed to score again until the
third inning, when Connor and Smith
both made runs.
In the fourth inning neither Willis
tor nor Ocala got to first, but in the
fifth the home boys showed good form
al the bat. when Hensleys Winer and
Smith scored.
In the remaining part of the game
both sides played good ball, neither
being able to score. Hensley pitched
a good game and famed several men.
We are fortunate in having such a
man on the team. Smith held his
place behind the bat in good shape and
promises to show up well this season.
The locals played a jam-up game from
the start and only two or three errors
were especially noticeable.
Gornto was unable to cope with the
local batters, and they found him at
cnce. Williston has a good little
team, but it will be well for them
to work some before their next game
with Ocala.
Following are the line-ups:
Ocala: Harold Smith, c; Ernest
Hensley, p; Fred Winer. 1b; Wycliffe

The proposal to establish an exten-
sive wild-bird preserve on the north
ern shore OF Lake Erie is gaining wide
favor in Canada. Something must be
done at once, it issurged by bird low
ers, to preserve the wild fowl and in
sectivorous birds, or they will be-
come as extinct as the wild pigeon.
There are strict game regulations In
the province. but the establishment Of
a large preserve would assist the leg
islation. There is already a nucleus
of the proposed area in Rondeau park.
and ii is planned to extend this along
the lake shore west for 80 miles.

BUSINESS MEN
MEET TONIGHT
To Give Strong Encouragement to the
New Florida Development

The business men of Ocala and
Marion county Will meet tonight at s
oclock, in the Board of Trade rooms,
for the purpose of getting behind the
proposed Florida Development Board,
statewide organization for the up
building of Florida Mr.. c. S. ticker.
OF Baltimore. executive vice president
of the Southern Settlement and De-
velopment Organization, and Mr.. A.
A. Coult. of Jacksonville, temporary
secretary of the Florida Development
Board, viii be present at the meet
ing to assist the local committee, and
there should be large attendance. 1t
is very generally recognized that
there should be some statewide or
ganization in Florida to handle its
problems of development, some agen-
cy through which the various sections
can be cemented together, so as 20
prevent loss of effort through scat
tered activity. Mr. John l. Edwards
of 0cala is a member of the organi-
zation committee of the new develop
ment board. and Messrs. John I'll.
Taylor, DR.. J. E. Chace and Jr. M.
Meffert were appointed finance COM
mittee for this section.
The Florida Development Board,
which is one of similar bodies that
have been and are being organized in
the coastal plain states of the South,
from Maryland to Texas, is being or
ganized as unit of a larger body
which will work for the development
of the entire South. The purpose of
these organizations was set forth in
an address made by Mr.. Uclxer in the
Marion county court house last fall,
in which he stated that the South
must have great advertising cam
paign, but that before this campaign
can be started certain artificial de-
fects in this section cf the country
must be gotten rid of. There are, for
example, over 800 100000 acres of
cutover lands in the South that should
be brought under cultivation. To get
people to develop these lands it will
be necessary to overcome certain
physical drawbacks. such as the mo-
souito and lack of drainage and to
provide certain facilities such as good
roads and schools.
