CENSUS STATISTICS PROVE MARION
A LEADING AGRICULTURAL SECTION
In Only One Other County Did the
Valuation of Every Crop in 1919 Run
Into Six Figures and More

The statistics of the U. S. bureau
Of census for Florida and its counties
give some very interesting figures
concerning Marion county. The value
of farm property is given as being
S2,552,741 in 1900, S5, 5,3O3, ,16O in 1910.
and S9,490,125 in 1920. Land IN
farms: S1,216,63O in 1900. s3.1O6.512
in 1910, and S5,771, ,755 in 1920. Farm
buildings: S7O4, ,230 in 1900, 1894, ,547
in 1920 and S1,618,s14 in 1920. Imple-
ments and machinery: $4,000 in
1900, S223, ,S45 in 1910 and S462 .OO4 in
1920. Live stock on fsrms: S519, ,S51
in 1900, S978,2O2 in 1910 and 81, ,637,-
552 in 1920. Only nine counties in the
state are given a higher valuation of
farm property than Marion in 1920,
including the counties that have ex-
tensive citrus and trucking lands.
Only three counties are given a high
er valuation of lives took on farms.
Only seven counties are given a high
er valuation of farm machinery and
implements.
Only one county IN Florida had
more horses than Marion in 1920;
only nine had more mules; only four
more beef cattle; only five had more
sheep; only six more goats; only three
had more hogs; only four had more
chickens.
Only eleven of the then fifty-four
counties produced crops valued at
more than those of Marion in 1919.
Only six counties produced cereals
valued at more than those of this
county. Only two produced vegetables
valued at more. Only fourteen pro-
duced fruits and nuts aued at more.
Only eleven produced more oranges
than Marion.
In only one county in Florida, and
that Aiachua which adjoins this coun-
ty, did the value of every crop given
in the statistics of the bureau of the
census for 1919 run into six figures
and more.
1t will readily be seen from these
figures that Marion county is in an
excellent position to meet the needs
of her people for food in the event
that the threatened railroad strike
occurs.

cleared at once and not held in sus-

that it was fair to Mr.. Akin to hold
the matter any longer without action,

A secret ballot was taken and re-

guilty.
Mayor Anderson says that he be-

this afternoon cited the big four
brotherhoods, switchnlen's union and
all railroads named in the wage re-
dnction order of July 1st, to appear
before the board Wednesday, October

Some 14O years ago in what was
then the nucleus of the United States,
every man and boy owned a musket
and knew how to use 1t.
They were skilled in woodcraft,
knew their own country and could
bring down any game within range
with one shot.
Yet In all the terrible years Of the
Revolutionary war It took 100000 Of
them to defeat 10000 invaders.
The British could not shoot as wen
and neither did they possess the spirit
Of the American coIonist, who was
fighting for his home and his convic-
lions.
But they were organized! They we're
trained!
Organization and training, brought
over 5000 miles of sea, kept them go
ing in a strange and hostile country
where they were greatly oumumbered
by the inhabitants and enabled them
to remain there for eight years!
Individually the Colonials were
better fighting men than the redcoats;
collectively they We're not.
With 10000 trained and equipped
men--half the British number-Wash-
ington might have vanQulshed the in
yaders as quickly as their regiments
were landed. Given equal training
and equipment with the British, and
their spirit and knowledge of the cOun-
try and of craftsmanship would have
done the rest At the utmost, 1t is
unlikely that 1t would have required
more than two years,
But instead Washington had rag
ged Contlnentals,' half starved loosely
organized, and equipped with practi-
cally only what they could furnish
themselves.

Calomel loses you day You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick

into sour bile like dynamite, cramping

Whenyou feel bilious, sluggish, con-

lieve you need a dose of dangerous cal
omel just remember that your druggist
sells for a few cents large bottle Of
Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely
vegetable and pleasant to take and Is
a perfect substitute for calomel. It Is
guaranteed to start your liver without
stirring you up inside, and can not
salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t can not be
trusted any more than leopard or a
wildcat. Take DOdsons Liver Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you feel fine. Give 1t to the
children because 1t is perfectly harm
