Band Concerts
A series of open air band concerts

$500 towards a band for 1921.
White Way
The Board of Trade, In cooperation
with City Council, The Board of Coun.
-@fy Commissioners and property own
ers. has provided for attractive light
ing standards around the courthouse
square and for the block on North
Magnolia between Ocklawaha avenue

by property owners, and in one or
Two instances by tenants. and the CITY
IS to install the standards and provide
the current. The standards have been
received and will be installed as
soon as the necessary cable arrives.
It will not be possible to turn on the
current, however, until the new unit

Finances

| FlNdUCCS
The Board of Trade during 1919 and
1920 has been inadequately financed.
This, necessarily, has placed limita-
ton on the activities of the organiza-
ton. During the last three months
the income of the organization has not
permitted the employment of a stenog-
Irapher, and one result has been,
among others, that many persons have
called at the Board of Trade room for
information, rooms, or other purposes
only to find that the Secretary was
out attending to some matter which
took him from the office. It has meanti
too, that your Secretary has had ito
give to details time that should be de-
voted to more important matters. In
the fall your Secretary urged the rails
ing Of not less than $4,000 and the
preparing of budget for the year.
This plan was not carried through.
The Board of Governors has since
then, recommended that the organiza-
ton raise the sum of $4,000 to cover
the operating expenses of the organi-
cation for a year. It is not the inter-
ton of the Governors that this amount
should cover anything but actual
overhead expenses and new edition
of the city and county booklet Such
a sum will not provide for any adver-
tising, conventions, band concerts,
holiday celebrations, and the like. If
these things are to be had it will be
necessary to make drives as hereto
fore, and drives soon become a nui-
sance. Your Secretary has had no
end of propositions made to him by
citizens for the benefit of the city and
county. and all have called for an ex-
penditure of money. It is surprising
how many suggestions are made with
out any thought as to the cost. A sit
uation that must be faced and for
which solution should be found is
that too many of the public projects
OF Ocala and Marion County are be-
ing financed by the few. The burden
should be carried by the entire ueo.
pie. To this end many communities
are making a special tax levy to cover
the work of their commercial Bodies
This has been done in most Of the
towns and cities in South Florida.
where appropriations are made both
by the municipal and county govern
ments.
1 Your Secretary would again can
your attention to the fact that the Ma
Erion County Board Of Trade is the
only commercial organization in the
county, one Of the most important
counties in Florida. When the SIN.
port Of the Marion County Board Of
Trade is under consideration this
fact should be kept in mind.

AND SHE COULDN'T DENY IT
One Time That MIR. Hogq Scored or
the Partner of His joys
and Sorrows.

Former Senator John w. Weeks was
lately recalling some of the happy
days of the long ago in Washington.
In those days, he said, there were
such things as bars, and his friend
Hirbutus Hogg, spent great deal
of his time on the fringe of the GASES.
One night after an unusually long
sojourn near his favorite bar. Mr.
Hogg navigated painfully home and al
last reached his bedroom. Mrs. Hogg
was waiting for him.
"Hirbutus," she said, after a swift
appraisal OF his condition, 81 am
ashamed of you-utterly ashamed
You are Hogg by name, and hog
by nature"
"Yes, mdear," replied the prodigal
meekly, but even at that | have the
advantage over you. You are Hogg
by name, but you became a Hogg by
choice. "-Exchange

BOY'S SUGGESTION ALL RIGHT
Thirteen-Year. Had Remembered
What tle Had Been Taught
About electricity.

The family washing was going
through its regular Monday electric
washer route. Incidentally, the base
ment was damp, because there had
been no furnace fire.
When the lady of the house started
to wiring the clothes she found an
electric current in the water, due to
a short circuit in the motor After
several attempts to wiring the clothes
before the current got in its work
she was about ready to give up and
wiring them by hand.
"Shucks, mom," said thirteen-yea"-
old Harry. who knows all about Edi-
son and Franklin, ''rll bet if you put
on your rubhers, so the current can't
go on out of your body you won't get
a shock at ALL"
And when mon" tried his sugges.
ton she found the embryo electrician
knew what he was talking about. fol
she worked in safety while wringing
the rest of the clothes.

Edwards Made Major General

Brig. Gen. Clarence r. Edwards
was commander of the New England
national guard division-the Twenty
sixth-and was removed from his
command while at the front and sent
home. Much mystery surrounded the
affair and the war department careful
ly guarded the facts concerning it
from publicity. The treatment ac-
corded General Edwards aroused wide
spread Indignation in New England,
where he was immensely popular, and
one of the first acts of the Harding
administration was to place his name
at the head of twelve brigadiers slated
for promotion.
Then the senate military affairs
committee voted to recommend con-
firmation of the promotion of Brig.
Gen. Clarence II. Edwards to be a
major general. The action was taken
by vote of II to 3. The negative
votes were cast by Democratic sena-
tors, who questioned General Edwards

Burke, Friend of the Indian

Charles ii. Burke, recently ap-
pointed commissioner of Indian affairs
in the Department of the Interior, is
perhaps the best friend of the Amer
lean Indian today. He is a personal
friend to the 25,00O Sioux living on
South Dakota reservations, from whom
mention of his name will bring forth
words of praise for the benefits they
have received through his efforts dur
ing the fourteen years he was a men,
Der of congress from South Dakota.
He was chairman of the commit
tee on Indian affairs during the Sixty.
first congress. succeeding Vice Presi-
dent Sherman. During the Sixty-sec-
ond and Sixty-third congresses he
was ranking minority member of this
committee. lie was member Of the
Joint Indian commission during the
Sixty-third congress, which had full
investigating powers of all general In
dian affairs. AT the same time he
was Il member of the special commits
