$4,000 FOR ocALA AND MARION
COUNTY


The city and county have struck q
stride and the pace must be kept
There is actually throughout the coun-H
ty and this is no time to clamp down.
the brakes. This is the belief and
the determination of the membership
committee of the Marion County
Board OF Trade. just appointed by
President Rush H. Todd, and which
met last week decide on plan for
financing the organization for 1921.
Believing that men and not natural
resources make communities, and that
therefore, men plus the great natural
advantages of Ocala and Marion coun-
ty can do even greater things, the
membership committee is determined
that they shall go over the top in a
drive for not less than $4,000. The
drive started last Tuesday morning
at o'clock.
The $4,000 will be raised to cover
all of the activities of the Board of
Trade for the year. so that there will
oe no further drives made by the or
ganization during the year. A budget
will be prepared and stuck to. As
soon as the committee completes its
work meeting of the Board of Trade
win be held and a program for the
year adopted.
The Marion County Board of Trade
is the only commercial organization
in this county. 1t is the only agency
in the county devoting all OF its time
to the development of Ocala and Ma
rion county. The outside world looks
to the commercial organization as the
medium for getting contact with the
community.
The business of the trade body is
the business of no other organization,
nor of any individual.
President Todd personally saw each
member of the membership committee
and asked each to serve.
The committee which met last Tues
day is an enthusiastic one, very much
alive to the needs of the community.
They are determined to see Ocala
and Marion county move forward. The
members OF the committee are: N. r.

STATE FLOWERS ADOPTED

The question is often asked, What
are the representative flowers for the
various states and by whom were they
adopted We are giving a list OF
the "A states that have a representa-
tive flower. The four states not yet
included in the list are Mo-, Penn, ,.
G. and Tenn. Most of the names were
originally voted by the public school
scholars but the majority Of these
have been later adopted by the legis-
latures of their respective states.
Some have been generally accepted
by the people, after prolonged discus
sion. Congress has been urged from
time to time to adopt a national flower
but to date it has not done so: con-
gress usually balks at such things.
