EDlTcR EDMoNDs' GIFT TO THE
PRESIDENT AND BOOST
TO FLORIDA

From his winter home In Daytona
Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the
iEanufacturers Record of Baltimore,
and winter resident CT Daytona, has
expressed to President Harding a box
of Florida navel oranges of unusual
size, each orange weighing more than
a pound. Accompanying the ship
ment Mr.. Edmonds wrote the presi-
dent that these oranges are simply
typical Of the limitiess food produc-
ing resources of this state.
'.Florida is even now, though but
IN its infancy of development, ship
ping annually more than $4,000 car
loads of foodstuffs to the North and
West" said Mr.. Edmonds. In ad.
dition to the 12.o00,0o0 or more boxes
OF citrus fruits shipped annually from
this section, Florida annually ships
thousands of carloads Of early pota-
tees, cabbages, celery. lettuce, toma-
toes, strawberries and other winter
grown foodstuffs, in this way con-
tributing immensely to the food sup
ply of millions of people in the North
and West"
After a recital of the great possibili-
ties here. Mr. Edmonds says:
Tt may not be anliss to say that
available reclamation land in the
South, il drained and put under culti-
vation, could easily be made to pro-
duce from $2,500, 100000 to s5,00o,-
100000 annually of foodstuffs, live
stock included"
In concluding the message TO the
president, he says: i hope the
flavor of the oranges will remind you
Of the charms and the glories of the
climate Of this state and cause you,
when burdened with mighty respon-
sibilities which rest upon you, to seek
again in this heaven-favored land rest
and invigoration and new serength
for the larger duties of the future Z

A FINE PROPOSITION TO MAKE
A FAMILY HAPPY

The Baraca class of the Ocala Bap-
tist Sunday school has launched a
vigorous campaign to pay off the
$4,000 mortgage on the little home
[of Rev A L. Prisoe. near Ocala. Bro
ther Prisoc. well known to people in
every community of this whole sec
tion where he has spent years in
faithful service, is afflicted with para
lysis. He cannot walk or speak and
has wife and several children Only
one Of the children is a boy.
He had saved a little money out of
a meager salary before he was para
lyzed and, with his savings, paid for
his home, except the amount of this
mortgage. TO lift that mortgage and
give this deserving family a home OF
their very own is certainly laudabIe
undertaking. 1t is hoped to complete
the task quickly and hand the cancel
led mortgage to Brother Prisoc on
New Years day.
The Baraca class will do big part
through its own members in taking
up this mortgage Already, several
outside the class have volunteered to
help and the help Of everybody in
Ocala and surrounding country will
be gladly welcomed. Anybody who
wishes to enter into the spirit of the
season may get in on this fine gift
of love. The committee in charge of
the matter consists of H. d. Stokes,
D. Mel Ferguson, G. L. West, j. l..
Edwards and X. c. Moore. Checks
should. be made payable to Treasurer
Baraca Glass and may be handed or
mailed to any committeeman named
above.
A complete list of the contributors
will be turned. over to the family
along with the mortgage. It's a fine
chance for everybody to participate
in gift of brotherly love-

ocALA X. Of P's. AT LEEsRuRG
Are Handsomely Entertained BY tho
KNIGHTS of Our Sister City

Knights of Our Sister City
Writing of the visit of the Ocala
Knights of Pythians at. Leesburg the
Commercial of that city says:
Whenever any Of the Leesburg
lodges want to have really enjoy
able evening, they invite the Ocala
crowd TO put on some work 1t does
mt mater whether 1t is the Masons,
the Knights of Pythias or what not,
Ocala always comes to the bat with a
bunch OF good fellows and does the
job up fine
Last Fsslay night it was the K of
P. turn. Five of the local would-be
knights We're ready to have their spurs
trapped on and the job was turned
over to the visitors and well done.
There may have been a few scratches
incurred by the knights. but they were
forgotten in the excitement of the
moment and what came afterwards.
The Ocala Star tells the story from
the visitors angle. 1t prints the fol-
lowing:
Ocala Lodge No. 10, X. of p, has
one of the finest, if not the very finest.
degree teams in the state, so when the
Leesburg lodge had big class of
.esquires ready to receive the accolade,
it was perfectly logical for it to invite
cavalcade of OcaIa knights over to
conduct the ceremony
Not with prancing steeds and jingl-
ing spurs, but on rubber ties melted
by gasoline. the latter day knights
sailed forth to Leesburg on the even
ing of the Sth. They arrived in time
for the opening of the local lodge, over
which G. c. A. N. Stivender presided
=J. f. Stunkel was at the secretary's
desk and every Ocala knight was we'll
pleased to see old Frank Wetherbee
in the vice chanceIlor's chair. The
regular business was soon disposed Of,
and then the floor was cleared for the
work.
The rules of the order, OF course,
prevent the reporter from describing
the ceremony, but it is, permissible to
say that the work of the team was
carried out in fine and often dra-
matte manner The performance was
deeply interesting and impressive
even to those who had often seen it
before.
The Leesburg bretheren to be
knigthed were H. L. Hunt, NJ H.
Entz, Bert Davis, o. b Truesdale and
Burwell Bell. and they underwent the
ordeal with courage and faith.
After the ceremony, the Leesburg
ers took the visitors to neat little
restaurant where first their 4picters
were struck and then they were for
tilted with a substantial supper for
their return to Ocala.
The Ocala knights who made the
trip were Melin, Hendrix. Stroud,
Tompkins. Gilmore, Howell, Weaver,
Todd, Burgess, Weathersbee, Parker.

METHUSELAH AND THE BRIDGE

Methuselah lived to be 969 years
old. If some of us could live as long
as Methuselah did, we might, we
might" mind you, see the start made
on the North Third street extension
and Coke Otto bridge. Is it any won
der that the people become disgusted
with the snail-like methods of public
officials and that they assume the
"what's 's-the use" attitude when the
subject of bonds for public improve
ments is broached? 1t is a year now
since the people voted the bonds for
the North Third street Improvement
and what has been done? Practically
nothing! In the first place because
of the stubbornness of the members
of our county board of commissioners
nary move was made for six months.
Then the buck was passed to the coun-
ty engineer, from him it was skidded
to the fellow who draws the plans,
then back to the engineer, from there
over to the county commissioners,
back to the engineer for checking, and
here we've lost track of it, but are
told that the plans will have to go
to the state officials for approval and
then back to the county commission
ers for rechecking and approval. By
this time the plans will be worn out,
and We'll have to start all over again.
And after going through all that the
bonds will have to first be advertised
and sold. Then after the money is in
the strong box of the commissioners
and played with for months, bids will
have to be advertised for and these
will have to be tabulated, which will
take, goodness only knows how long,
and more than likely all will be re-
jected; and then we will have to make
another new start. No, dear reader,
chances are if you should live to be

he died, you wouldn't see the begin

Organized labor is true to its his
torical mission. The men and women
of labor know that the safety of the
toilers for today, and their hopes of
liberty for the future, are centered
in the organized labor movement of
our country. It's highest expectations
can be realized, and its greatest trust
can be discharged through the CO.
operation of all the workers.
The logic of the industrial situation
should impel every trade unionist,
every representative of organized
effort of the workers, to use all the
powers with which nature has gifted
him to unite the forces of labor in
solid phalanx, not only to repel at
tacks directed against the labor
movement, but to march steadily for
ward to the attainment of the rights
to which the workers are entitled.

MORE OUT-OF-WORKS

Unemployment is on the increase in
the United States, according to the
department of labor.
Pay roll figures for the month end
ing June 30th collected from LAPS
firms in 65 industrial centers. Each
center normally employs more than
800 men, or a total of 100000. These
figures show a net decrease on the
pay rolls of 46,414, or 80 per cent.
Causes for the "protracted indus
trial depression and the mounting
tide of unemployment" are described
as follows:
Continued unsatisfactory conditions
of transportation, with freight rates
in many instances considered almost
prohibitive; lack of anything like
normal foreign market; low value of
farm produce, stagnation in iron and
steel; high costs of construction and
general dullness of the retail trade.
The almost nationwide housing
shortage still exists, the report
states, although there are scattered
indications of resumption of build
ing operations on restricted scale.
Trouble don't have to hunt its vic
tins, for it has plenty of them calling
at its offices, and most of its patrons
are employers who figured people
ought to be content with the bare
honor of being permitted to slave for
them.
