THE BOY SCOUTS

It's time the people of Ocala were
awake to the fact that there is real
troop of Boy Scouts here. Friday
night was just another one of their
successful meetings.
The boys have been so busy passing
test, that no one has thought of test
ing the organization, but the scouts
as troop. as well as individuals, have
passed from tenderfoot to real body
Of representative boys. They are now
on solid ground, and are here to stay.
Every meeting has brought more
wildly to their attention the one thing
necessary for complete achievement of
tn egoa1 desired, and at Fridays
meeting the one point was brought
out that they must have money, if
they are to continue to grow.
The troops expenses so far have
amounted to something over $120,
half of which the boys have paid
themselves. The other half has been
paid by one man, and that man a
stranger in our city. The troop is
getting too big for one man to run,
md the boys can't stand the strain
much longer.
1t was decided Friday night to put
en- a ten cent drive and, of course, ev-
erybody will help in this. In the next
few weeks a scout boy will call on
you. vii you give ten cents month
tc keep this. organization going?
Remember this. these boys are doing
real instructive work; they are not
gathering together for a good time.
The boys are in earnest, and their
scoutmaster is the best to be had.
Without your help, the troop will
continue, will grow and expand, but
with your help it will work double
time.
There is not room here to give a
full program for the coming winter,
but from time to time we will try to
publish little of what is being done.

The Jacksonville Real Estate Board
is planning tour through the PENN
sula part Of Florida to give the real
estate men and business and profess
s.onal men of that city an opportunity
to see the state and to get in closer
touch with the people of the state.
The Marion County Board of Trade

Exchange, the latter recently reor-
gained, have extended invitations to
the Jacksonville Real Estate Board to
include 0eala and Marion county in
the itinerary of the proposed tour.
The tour is scheduled for the middle
of October.
The Jacksonville party plans to
travel in special train of Pullmans.
Meetings viii be held in the cities
where stops are made. A band will
be carried by the party. The Jack
sonyille papers state that the trip is
being planned. among other reasons,
to let the other communities in the
state know that Jacksonville is not
pulling against them but with them.

Apparently there is too much of
this "fiying squadron business in
Florida to make possible an econom-

how the flying squadron of the teach

sands of miles of mileage in covering
the state-and now there is a general
condemnation of the state highway
commission, regarding the skipping
about from some portion of the state
to a distant point. Some of these days

Some of the state papers are en-
quiring about the recent escape from
state road camps of convicts, includ-
ing John Bryant. convicted of the
murder of his father near Orlando a
few weeks ago. The state convicts,
we understand, are held on the honor
system, which is good for the average
convict But some convicts have no
honor, and at any rate an opportun-
nifty to escape is a heavy strain on
the honor of any man in prison for
life. It's the Stars opinion that
guards with high-powered rifles are
not incompatible with the honor sys-
tenn.

SHUBERT-GARRICK
"Oper the Hill"

1t is a striking commentary on the
preferences of the New York show
goer that the photoplay which has
had the longest run in that city to
date is one made from the poems Of
Will Carleton, whose Farm Ballads
constitute some of the most char
acteristic idylls Of American rural life.
Probably no other American poet came
so close to the hearts OF his readers
as did Carleton. His were the life
stories of plain folks" His char
acters were drawn direct from life
were people he had met in his early
experiences on the farm. 1t was for
this reason that our parents and
grandparents held him in such great
esteem and that his verse has been
so favored by elocutionists of the last
three generations.
While the great william Fox pro
duction "Over the HILL" based on
Carleton's poems il still running in
New York City-where 1t has been
shown for many months-there have
been so many demands for it's ap-
pearance In other cities that the pro-
ducer has yielded to the populAr de-
mand. One of the frst cities selected
for its out-of-New York showing Is

Romancem Life of Schubert
Theme of Blossom Time I

The Messrs. Shubert will present at
Polls Theater for one week, begin
ming tomorrow night, new musical
comedy, blossom Time" The. story
is based on the life of Franz Shu-
bert, the. famous Viennese composer.
An interesting feature will be the in
PRODUCTION of melodies from Franz
Schubert. in a score provided by Sig
mund Romberg. The scene is laid in
old Vienna. The original theme of
the story was discovered in a semi
fiction and semi biographical life of
Schubert. which was published shortly
after his death. This material was
worked over into a musical comedy
by Wilmer and Reichert. Miss Dom
nelly has entirely rewritten the fable
and has supplied a new set of lyrics.
1t Is q charming love. story that has
been made use Of. Schubert, in the
play, Is already famous. but at times
Is sadly in need of food, and his
friends watch over him that they may
supply this deficiency when IL occurs.
The first act occurs at an outdoor
restaurant in the famous Prater Park,
in May, 1925. At this restaurant there
gathers three pretty little maidens,
Mitzi. FRITZ, and Kitzi. They are IA
nous over Vienna for their prettiness
and charm. They, go to the restaurant
to meet their sweethearts. Schubert
falls in love with Mitzi. There is
some doubt as to the girls love. as to
whether it is true love or admiration
for the composers great abilities.
But Schubert has many other
friends. the Baron Van Schrobert. n
prima donna named La Bellaruna and
various other people who enter his
life. The prima donna thinks Franz
Schrobert has fallen in love with
Mitzi, and she hopes to separate them.
She gives a very bad report Of the
character of "F. S." as she refers to
the baron, and whom Mitzi takes To
be her admirer. Franz Schubert.
Schrobert actually falls in love with
Mitzi. and his love is reciprocated.
Poor Franz is too good a fellow to
resent his friends luck and he loves
Mitzi too much not to rejoice in her
happiness and SO takes refuge In his
music.
