THE MATHS ARE LIVELY.

The problem of w. F. TROXELL
in Sundays Times receives consid-
cradle attention from the maths. who
seem to be ''perking up on math
problems in the G.. o. c.
The problem was as to whether a
man made or lost money by working
BIB days at $1.75 per day, instead
OF accepting l cent the first day and
an increase Of cent each day there
after.
OMAR" CLARENDON" and
II. M. GOOD" agree that at $1.15
per day the man was 1864 better
off, explaining that by day work ne
received $547.75,N while the other
would have Eaid him but S491.34.
This Is also the answer of TED
H. DOWNER. of Newport News,
Va. and s. H. B.
w. e. DODD, Newport News. Va,
says the gain was $94.81; l.. II. V.
says $56.31; 8. SMITH, S57.74; an
other fan, $104.30, while MARIE 8.
thinks the man lost heavily. JO-
SEPH A. TUCKER says the hired
man would gain 5000.
That the maths may have some
thing to occupy them these winter
evenings we will print some good
math problems submitted in good
faith, with answers forwarded for
the editors Information. No trick

WHAT OUR BOARD OF TRADE HAS
ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE YEAR

The Marion County Board of Trade
has SO far this year prepared more
than 200 news articles for the papers,
all of which have been published and
most Of which received statewide cir,
culation, covering events and facts
Of the greatest Importance OF Ocala
and Marion county These news. ar
ticles, or "sofries' as they are called
in newspaper circles, have totaled
more than 1900 column inches, not in
Guiding headlines, figure that should
be multiplied several times. inasmuch
as most of the articles were printed
IN at least fear newspapers. The val
lie of this publicity, as the secretary
of the Board of Trade points out,
cannot be estimated The articles
have resulted in many favorable edi-
torial comments in the press of the
state. Many outstanding facts and
statistics concerning the resources
and industries of the city and county.
and OF the crops of the county in par.
ticular, have been included in this
publicity. Many, OF the news items
have been carried by the Associated
Press, and have been printed in all
of the newspapers in the state, taking
this service.
Secretary Chazal says that it would
have been impossible to have obtained
all of this publicity without the CO
operation of the newspapers, which
have been most generous in the space
that they have given.

Competent parties have advised the
city that no town in the South is in
better financial condition than Ocala.
Any of the above figures can be
easily verified and the council trusts
that any one interested who may
doubt them will go to the public books
and records of the City rather than
to accept the idle statement of the
street.
In conclusion the council would

that not all criticism is altruistic and
that they be careful that they do not
