1t was nearly year ago that the
secretary of the Marion County Board
of Trade sent out letter soliciting
the members for suggestions that
would make for the up-building of the
city and would add to the pleasure of
it's citizens.
Among a number of other items
this paper suggested the reorganiza-
tion of the band which in times pass
ed had given weekly open-air CON.
certs which gave SO much delight to
our citizens and afforded so much
pleasure to the children as between
the numbers they were allowed to
play on the court house lawn.
We are glad to note that the band
has been re-organized thanks to Mrs.
Sara Jane Manley) and those delight
full weekly open-air concerts will be
repeated and will be one of our chief
summer amuSements.
Then this paper suggested the re-
organization of our ball team and it
affords us pleasure to state that the
ball team has been reOrganized and
already the lovers of this sport have
been given the pleasure of witnessing
two evenly-matched and exciting
games and the sport may be kept up
all summer.
1t suggested also the opening-up Of
Main street to the Union depot and
it affords us pleasure to note that ac-
tive steps have been put in operation
to have this improvement set in mo-
tion. :
Other suggestions were made along
more substantial and comprehensive
lines which if taken up and acted on
will help put Ocala to the foremost
of Florida interior cities.
Nature has been more prodigal with
her gifts to Ocala perhaps than any
other interior town in Florida.
Silver Springs alone is to Ocala
what Niagara Falls is to the nation.

NOT ELECTED

The editor of this paper was not
elected to go as delegate to the San

For a time he was very enthusiastic
Of the honor, but upon subsequent
reflection, ne feels that the voters Of
the state were kinder to him than he
was to himself
He has passed his three score and
ten and then some and has been con-
soled by his friends by observing that
the trip through the torrid alkali dis
tricts would have been exceedingly
uncomfortable, and also that the ses-
sions of the convention might be pro
longed late into the night; that things
might go contrary to his expectations
which would result in nervousness
and more or less excitement, and alto
gether the trip would have been too
strenuous, so it is all veil that ends
we'll.
AS soon as it was known that he
was defeated, Mr.. Robt. E. Davis, of
Gainesville, who was elected dis
trict delegate, sent him a phone mes
sage asking him if he would not go
as his alternate and soon he received
the folloing wire from Ex-Governor

pressions of good will and commenda-
tion which he shall always remember
with affection.

HARDING TO BE PUT TO THE
TEST

On the heels of his nomination the
newspapers throughout the country
described Warren G. Harding as be-
ing an all-round printer-having serv-
ed from printers devil all the way up
70 managing editor.
We are told that he is rapid type
setter, a swift and accurate linotype
operator and an expert makeup man.
He is to be put to the test.
The linotype and makeup man of
the Banner wants a little outing and
has written to the presidential nomi-
nee asking him to take his place for
a fortnight so as to put his claims to
the test.
If the offer is accepted it will give
the republican nominee most catchy
and unique advertisement, such as no
other presidential nominee has ever
had and will make him hand-in-glove
with all the printers throughout the
land.
In fact it will hold first place in all
the campaign dope sent out and Incl
dentally will place Ocala in the spot

RETURNS TO HIS FIRST LOVE

Mr.. John F. Parker of York, is one
of the oldest subscribers to this paper
He began taking it when it was
known as the East Florida Banner
Florida was then divided into three
judicial districts, viz: West Florida,
Middle Florida and East Florida
West Florida from Pensacola to the
Chattahoohee river; Middle Florida
from the Chattahoochee to the Su-
wannee river and East Florida cover
ed the balance Of the state extending
to Key West.
Our good friend, Parker, fell out
with the Banner when he thought it
did not oppose county division strong
enough, but has returned to us and
promises to cleave to his first love
from this time onward.
We certainly appreciate the loyalty
of these old friends.

lcwer house Of the Florida Legisla-

of the House of Representatives as to

vative. They do not plan to play the
game Cf politics, though Mr.. Hunter
is said to know its every twist, but we
understand they will direct their eff
forts along lines that mean more

the race for Speaker of the House. If
he does there is no question as to his
ability to muster considerable
amount of strength. 1t has been posi-

DEATH OF A CHARMING MOVIE
HEROINE

Perhaps one Of the most tragic
stories OF the film stars is revealed in
the death OF pretty little Clarine Sey-
mour, whose career came to an abrupt
end last week in New York. where
she succumbed to intestional trouble
with which she had been bothered
TOR some time.
To tell her story would be to tell of
a warm. unspoiled, friendly girl-the
sort OF girl who did not forget those
who had been good to her and who
was not ashamed to admit her strug-
giles. Clarine Seymour was born in
Brooklyn, nineteen years ago, OF de.
voted Methodist parents. Her first an
pearances in public were at church en-
tertainments. Three years ago her
parents moved to New Rochelle and
Clarine decided she wanted to become
a motion picture star Her persistent
calls at the old Thanhouser studio
brought her a small part.
BY steps and degrees she was given
bigger parts and one day role in
Pearl White serial came her way. then

Company and was offered contract,
if she would go west in comedies with
Toto, the Hipodrome clown. So Moth

gether and chapperoned Clarine to

Not long after David Griffith saw
play the Cutie Beautiful' role in
"The Girl Who Stayed at Home he
decided that she would make good in
the part. So successful was she that
her name is nearly always associated
with this role. True Heart Susie"
and Scarlet Days followed, and Grif-
fifth believed her ripe for stOrmdom.
He gave her this opportunity in "The
Idol Dancer" in which she plays the
title role. Critics were quick to ac-
claim her and Griffith promised that
when she finished herswork in WAY
Down East" he would give her a COM
pany Of her own. But she did not live
to see this take place, for death claim
ed her while working in the latter
production.
The principal scenes in the Idol
Dancer were made at Miami and on
the Bahama Islands and it was while
filming this picture that Griffith and
his party came so near losing their
lives while aboard the Grey Duck
that was lost for several days be-
tween the Bahamas and Miami

NEW CHURCH BUILDINGS

We understand that other churches
in Ocala besides the Methodist are to
be enlarged and beautified.
There is nothing more pleasing or
will reflect greater prominence to a
city than stately and handsome
church buildings,
st. Peters in Rome; St. PauPs in
London; st. Sophia in Constantinople
ST. Johns the Divine and the Catholic
Cathedral in New York; the Mormon
Temple in Salt Lake City, are world
famous and have given their respec-
tive cities distinctive reputation.
If every denomination in Ocala had
an attractive and exquisitely orna-
mental church building very few
things would add more greatly to it's
reputation.

Why Rags Quit the Show
(From The Washington Times)

Scores of men who worked the wire
with him are still sending and receiv-
ing messages. Edison knew he was
fitted for something better than tick
ing out what other people wanted to
say.
Il Charles A. Dana had followed
ou his intention to be minister, the
world of journalism would never have
benefited by his genius.
Lincoln was clerk in a country
sotre; Ben Franklin was a printer by
trade; General Grant was by turn
real estate salesman and clerk in a
leather store.
Every one of these men found him
self limited by what he was doing.
Each was capable of bigger things.
Thousands of others have found
themselves attempting to do some
thing beyond their mental or physical
equipment.
A young man who finds himself in
either situation will, if he is wise,
make a change.
Find something you are fitted to
dc.
A pleasant task at which you can
work whole-heartedly and earnestly,
obtaining happiness as well as money,
is infinitely better than the never
ending drudgery of an irksome and
distasteful occupation.
Work in its truest sense is never
labor. 1t combines accomplishment
with pleasure. 1t looks forward to
results and finds happiness in the
contemplataions Of achievement.
There is a place which combines
joy with exertion and gladness with
striving. While you are young seek
that place.
If you make mistake and get in
to the wrong environment, follow the
example of Rags" Get out of it
as soon as you can.
But have, as he did, some definite
place to go. Don't wander from one
thing to another.
Be sure it is ambition, not laziness,
that makes you discontented
And when you have found the right
place, give the best there is in you
to your tasks accomplishment
That is tried recipe for happi-
ness. It Is an almost certain form
a for success.

He was in the wrong place.

He knew he was not fitted to live

himself better than his associates. but
