If you do not wish your automobile
seized under the prohibition laws do
not let is be used for the transporta-

held that seizure of automobiles or
other conveyances is perfectly legal
under present laws, no matter wheth-
er the owner is guilty or innocent
himself In the case under censidera-
ton, seizure of a car was made by
federal agents which had been loaned
by the owner TO a friend and which
the latter had used for the transpor-
tation of intoxicants. The owner con-
tended that he did not know that the
car was to be so used, but the court
would not stand for this, holding that
1t was the owners duty TO look into
the matter ard ascertain in advance
that his car would not be so used.

BASKET BALL

The Ocala high school basketball
team returned Sunday afternoon from
Jacksonville, where they played the
Duval team of that city Saturday eve
ming. Altho defeated, they were highly
complimented by their opponents for
the splendid game they played, and
were most cordially treated by their
opponents. The Times Union writer
who reported the game highly compli-
n.ented their coach miss Callie Gis-
sendaner) for the splendid manner in
which she instructed the team; he also
conceded that the Duval team "play
basketball more on the order of the
mans game" which vindicates Miss
Louise Spencer from criticism on the
manner in which she refereed the
game in Ocala on the 18th. The Ocala
girls have no complaint to make of
the result. They did their best and
were outplayed, and that is all there
was to it. Having tried out each
others mettle, we expect those two
fine teams to remain the frmest of
friends.
The Times-Uni6n's report appears
On another page.
Duval indeed is a marvellous team
with perfect team work and deserves
much credit. Our girls showed good
training altho the team work could be
better and with little more practice
they will give Duval a chase for the
championship" in the third game, if
neither team loses another game. All
of the Ocala girls played well, espe-
cially Miss Annie MacKay, who gave
the Duval forward hard fight. Fol
lowing are some of the Ocalans who
accompanied the basket ball team to
Jacksonville: Miss Alice Sexton and
Messrs. Paul Brinson. Homer Agnew
and Cecil Clark.
Ocala plays Gainesville next Satur-
day in Gainesville. This also promises
to be very interesting game, and
maybe Gainesville will surprise o. H.
S. and Duval, too.
