earth
What du you think man would 80
If there wasn't any sun? II would
be quite hard To explain. for the sun
is The life of the world And also
what do you think man could do
without water or grains? Tread and
water are the stan of life. What do
YOU think man could do IL there
wasn't any day or night? Ii there
wasn't any night. how could man rest
AT all. and II there wasn't any day.
how could man work at any trade
or anything? what could man do
without any metal or wood Look
again at the natural things that man
could never build. There arc caves.
II is true that man may build Il tun-
mel in which trains may run and he
may build many other things. Ma
ture has formed some of the most
wonderful works. Man can hardly
conceive Of the value OF them Look
at The things which Nature has hui!t.
ana then at the things man has built,
and see which YOU thing is superior.
Nature is wonderful in another way
besides this one. Nature Is the four-
dation OF many things, and the moth

WITH THE LADIES
Four Women Implicated in the Muir
der of Daniel F. kaber, For
merly of Cleveland, o.
ASSOCIATED Press)

Cleveland, June 13.-Four women
are now formally charged with the
murder of Daniel F. Kaber, who was
stabbed twenty-four times by hired
assassins in his. home at Lakewood
two years ago.
Mrs. Ermina Colavito. age 80, was
booked on a murder charge early 10
day, after she made revelations TO the
police. Others charged with the
crime are the widow of the slain man,
her daughter and Mrs. Mary Brickel,
aged 90, mother of Mrs. Kaber.
Mrs. Colavito described in a signed
statement, the authorities say, how
two days before the murder the as
sassins had tiptoed through his home
to get the lay of the land, while Mrs.
Kaber's daughter, Marion McCardle.
played the piano to drown the noise
of their footsteps. She is also alleged
to have said the assassins demanded
$4,000 for committing the crime, but
Mrs. Kaber declared she would not
pay it unless her husband was killed
with some weapon. so she could collect
on his accident insurance policy.

ARLO BOX COMPANY
DEFEATED WALDO

The Arlo Box Co. evened up its
score with Waldo Saturday afternoon
on the Oak diamond when the Waldo
boys went down in defeat in a fast,
clean game of ball The game was
one of the fastest of the year, taking
only one hour and Is minutes for the
play. Waldo out hit the 'Arlo boys
but their hits did not come at the
right time and they were unable to
score runs with them. Seller, play
ing center field for Arlo made beau
tifUl running catch of Beams drive in
the seventh inning. Kickliter, Perez
and Smith annexed the honors for
hits with extra bases attached, each
of them getting credit for two.
baggers. Roberts and Smith pulled
off pretty double play when Roberts
caught what looked like safe hit to
left field and threw to Smith for u
double at second.
A good crowd attended the game,
there being several carloads of fans
out from 0cala to help the Arlo boys
root. After the game the Arlo team
gave a fish fry at Silver Springs for
the entertainment Sof the Waldo team
and from all appearances the Waldo
team was well entertained.

OCALA, FLORIDA. MONDAY, JUNE I3, 1921
STATEMENT FROM
MAYOR ANDERSON

To the People of the City of Ocala:
Through the courtesy of the Ocala
Star, ! am employing this method of
explaining my recent action in resign
ing the Office of mayor of Ocala, and
later Withdrawing my resignation
temporarily.
At the last meeting of the council
presented to the members a resolution
which had been approved by the at
torney for the Commercial Bank, the
purchaser fthe bonds of the city,
anu which, / had been assured, would
purchaser of the bonds of the city,
the impression that no further action
on my part would be required to ocn-
summate the sale of the bonds; and
took this action prior to introducing
the subject of the chief of police for
the reason that / wished to insure the
sale of the bonds in any event.
On Wednesday following the coun-
ca meeting, the Commercial Bank de-
sired further action on the part of the
city relative to the bonds, which action
order to prevent the occurrence of
anything which might interfere with
the sale of the bonds, l withdrew tenn
porarily my resignation. Since that
time the demands of the bank have
been met, and the consumation of the
sale of the bonds is now awaiting the
approval of a bond attorney of ma
tional reputation. Upon receipt of his
opinion, if favorable, the money will
be deposited and the work can begin.
l have not, however, changed my
opinion in regard to the matter of the
chief of police. | still am of the
lppinion that change would be benefi-
cial to the interests of the city, and
the matter will again be presented to
the council at its next regular meet
ing.
Four applications were made for
the position of city marshal, those of
Mr.. Gordon, Mr.. Adams. Mr.. Wiggins
and Mr.. Raymond. Of these four, Mr.
Raymond was my choice as the mar
shall who could best accomplish the
| results that / desired, the ridding of
the city of bootleggers, houses of
prostitution and gambling dens. l am
convinced of this from personal ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Raymond, and y
knowledge of his former experience,
two years with the military police and
| United States Secret Service. | am
unable to appoint a man who will not
apply for the position. l am limited
in my choice to the applicants, and OF
the four who have applied, have
made my choice of the man that l be-
| lieve to be best fitted.
l can work in harmony with Mr.
Raymond. / cannot do so with the
other three. and / cannot consent to
remain in a position where am held
responsible for the enforcement OF
the law, and at the same time be
forced by the action of the council to
