What's the User
! The members of the Woman's Club
and many other individuals are now
On the verge of using this oId-time|
saying, What's the. user They
/ spend their time and money planting
shrubs. palms. flowers and many 9TH
er things to make beautiful their own
| yards and public plots. Then along
comes the cows and chickens and in
an hours time viii destroy the labor
OF several months. Surely the council
can do something. They ought to
compel the owners of these valuable
animals and fowls to keep them from
] roaming the streets.
For example. The civic committee
OF the Woman's Club worked hard
during the year, made enough Egney
to buy eight Washington palms ana
had them planted on the two plots
given them by the city near the union
i station They go down daily to water
them only to find cows and goats. eat
4 ing them up. OF course this is dis
couraging. Still they love Ocala and
/ desire TO see it the most beautiful
small city in the state They are PLAN
ming to have grass and flowers plant
ed. but-4Wilat's the use? Other
\ towns seem to, be able to keep the
cows from roaming around. Suppose
an investigation be made to find out
how they do it. Write Eustis. 0rian-

The cows seem to be most fond or
! .AVirtory Way. for that seems TO be
where they spend the greater part o.
the night. This avenue has cost the
1 Woman's Club several hundred dol
! lars. and it is very disheartening to
the willing workers to have the COWS
do them so much damage.
Then. too. the chickens. the mother
hen and her family OF little chicks,
come in. find newly made flower bed
and scratch it all away in a very short
while. Again ( ask can't YOU eoun-
c;lnlen, mayor. or someone do some
thing. or shall we stop trying to make
EOcaIa beautiful. Let's start now
