MAURICE e. ROBINSON

Not only the friends he made in
Ocala during the almost score Of
years he lived here, but hundreds,
perhaps thousands, all over this state
and others, viii be saddened to know
that Maurice E. Robinson, probably
better known as Sunny Jim,' passed
away at st. Luke's hospital in jack
sonvifle early this morning. The
cause of his death was blood poison
ing. He had several teeth pulled a
few days ago, and his system was not
strong enough to stand the shock.
Mr.. Robinson and his family came
to Ocala about twenty years ago.
They made well-liked and esteemed
place for themselves in the commu-
nifty. and it was with great regret
that our people saw them remove to
Orange Park near Jacksonville in
1917.
Mr.. Robinson was one of the best
known and most alert shoe statesmen
in the South. He knew Florida by
heart
He had seen much of life. having
been in other callings before he be-
came commercial traveller. In this
he excelled. He had customers in eve
i.y town, and friend for every mile
he travelled.
He was always glad to return to
Ocala and clasp hands with his
friends, of which the Star was one.
He leaves beside his widow, two
daughters, Misses Fannie and Rose
bud, and his son, Emmett e. Robin
son, successful business man of
Jacksonville. All these have close
claim on Ocala, as well as the MEM
ory of his youngest son, Julian, who
died here some seven or eight years
ago.
The remains will be laid to rest In
Savannah Monday We join their
other friends in sincere sympathy for
the bereaved.

TOO MANY COOKS
SPOILED THE broth

Southampton, Eng. Aug. 31.-
When Mr.. Nicholson, the designer Of
Shamrock ", arrived in England. he
placed the superior seamanship of the
Resolutes' captain and crew among
the reasons for the challenger's fall
ure to lift the Americas cup.
Members Of the Shamrock's crew
who have returned to England, resent
the slur which they consider Mr.
Nicholson has thrown upon their eff
fciency as yachtsnen and declare that
the Shamrock's faulty handling was
largely due to the interference Of
Mr.. Nicholson
Arthur Diaper. one Of the crew, said
in an interview with the Associated
Press correspondent it was case Of
too many cooks and he pointed to the
fact that the only occasion Captain
Burton was free from interruption
and advice the Shamrock won. Diaper
said all Of the crew felt convinced
that had a professional skipper been
IN full command Shamrock would
have won the first three races. He
claimed that she could point as close
into the wind as the Resolute, but the
latter was superior ia reaching.
He declared that the Shamrock was
very awkward to handle, and her can
vas was about three times as heavy
as that of the Resolute The haIIiards
were arranged in such manner that
the work of the men was made ex-
tremeIy difficult. What could be done
by ten men on the 23-meter Shamrock
required 80 to do on Shamrock ". On
one occasion in setting the mainsail
they had SO men on the haIIiards and
could not move the sail.
in fact" said Diaper, 81 have
never before seen such heavy canvas
on a racing yacht And then, on the
return of the yacht to City Island,
after the races. they found COM
plete set of light racing canvas for
Shamrock ~. stored IN Jacobs yard.
Another fault" continued Mr..
Diaper, "is the constant changing Of
gear which was in progress through
out the period Of the races. The top
mast was changed no lese than seven
times in the course Of three weeks
and eventually they finished with the

BREAD WILL BE
EXPENSIVE IN BRITAIN

London, Sept. With bread sell
ing at 25 cents loaf and soon to. be
raised to 80 and later perhaps to 35
cents, England is harvesting this sea-
son the smallest wheat crop since the
early days of the war Production of
barley, on the other hand, will show a
material increase over that of the last
few years.
The reasons for this state of affairs,
according to Professor James Long,
"a well-known agricultural expert are
government control and beer. The
price of wheat and oats is regulated,
but no restrictions have been placed
on that of barley AS the market
price of barley is exceptionally high,
farmers planted that grain instead of
wheat and oats.
Professor Long shows that since
1913 wheat has been reduced by 679,-
600 acres, or more than one-third of
the present area, while oats, also an
important bread stuff, has fallen off
by $4,000 acres. son the basis of
wheat" he says. sthis means loss
IOf bread grain equal to some SO, ,000,-
600 bushels, or sufficient to feed T.
500, 900 persons. It is curious COM
naentary on the fact that the barley
crop has considerably increased, and
that in consequence beer has so far
occupied the position of bread
The country has fewer cattle than
in any year since 1903 and $3.50, 600
less sheep than the average of the 10
years from 1904 to 1913. The de-
crease in cattle since last year is
more than 100000 head.

8 to /.
As we said after the first game,
Brooksville has fine team and one
that no team in Florida needs feel
ashamed of losing to. Our boys are
not sore over their defeat, and the
only reason they give for it is the
true one. "They outplayed u.s." said
an ocala boy. and he expresses the
sentiment of the team.
We hope to have Brooksville with
US again next year.

THE SAME OLD CROWD

Mr.. Flynn said the similarity Of

for both outrages.
