Ten thousand dollars for Ocala and

The city and county have struck a
stride and the pace must be kept.
There is activity throughout the coun-
ty and this is no time to clamp down

determination of the membership CON-
mittee of the Marion County Board

Rush II. Todd, and which met last
night to decide on plan for financing
the organization for 1921. Believing
that men and not natural resources

vantages of Ocala and Marion county
can do even greater things, the mem
bership committee is determined that
they shall 60 over the top in drive

be raised to cover all of the activities
of the Board of Trade for the year. SO
that there will be no further drives

completes it's work a meeting of the
Board of Trade will be held and a pro-
gram for the year adopted. C4
The Marion County Board of Trade
is the only commercial organization in
this county. 1t is the only agency in
the county devoting all of its time to
the development of Ocala and Marion
county. The outside world looks to
the commercial organization as the
medium for getting in contact with
the community. The business of the
trade body is the business of no other
organization, nor of any individual.
President Todd personally saw each
member of the membership committee,
and asked each to serve. The commit
tee which met last night is an en-
thusiastic one, very much alive to the
needs of the community. They are de-
termined to see Ocala and Marion
county move forward. The members

TRAVELLING MEN GOING

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 17.-Letters
have been sent to the 600, 900 CONNER
cial travellers urging them to institute
a 30-day strike against hotels that
charge what the organization terms
exorbitant prices for room and food.
"Jesse James was q piker in his

the prices some hotels are asking,
says the letter.
The letters have been sent out by
the hotel committee of the Interna-
tional Federation of Commercial
Travellers organizations and says in
part:
Travelling men all over the country
have reached the conclusion that the
prices charged by hotels for rooms
and meals have reached the peak. The
travelling fraternity has the same
weapon with which to wage warfare
upon the hotel proprietors and hotel
corporations that the general public
used in refusing to purchase wearing
apparel and shoes. at prices which
they thought unreasonable and out of
proportion. Therefore, the hotel COM
mittee of the international Federation
Of Commercial Travellers Organiza-
tions urges the recipient of this letter
to refuse to patronize such hotels as
are charging or asking exorbitant
prices for rooms and food. This let
ter is being sent out to 100000 trav-
cling men and each and every man
must do his part for only in unison

hotels to soon offer more favorable

step up to a hotel register and you
are told the price of q room, If you be-
lieve it is exorbitant after taking into
consideration the service offered and
the investment of the hotel, do not
hesitate to say so and walk out. This
must also be done in restaurants.
Travelling men from different
parts of the country have sent the no
tel committee copies of menu cards Of
leading hotels and by scanning the
prices published thereon it makes one
think that Jesse James was q piker
