ELIMINATE EVEN
SALOON ATMOSPHERE
Associated Press1 .

Madison, Wis, July 19.-Wisconsin
has taken upon itself the task of get
ting rid of all bars, fixtures, screens,
stalls and other accoutrements which
have gone to make up saloon atmos-
phere. The order for their extermina-
tion is carried in a prohibition en-
forcement bill recently passed by the
legislature.
The law requires that "no person
having a license for the sale of nom
intoxicating beverages to be sold for
consumption upon the premises shall
maintain a standing bar or counter of
any description at which any such
drinks or beverages are consumer"
"No booth, stall or other enclosure
of any kind in or connected with such
place or room shall be maintained" /"
the law further provides. 1t orders
in addition that the windows and
doors of any such place or room shall
be unobstructed by screens, blinds,
paint or other article so that clear
and unobstructed view of the interior
of said place or room from the out
side at all times be had"
Thousands of Wisconsin saloons,
1000 or more in Milwaukee alone, will
be affected. All must go this month,
according to edict of the prohibition
commissioner, who has given the sa-
loon keepers 80 days to comply with
the law. He says he intends to en-
force every feature of it.
Court battle is to follow as soon as
the first arrest is made, proprietors
of Milwaukee barrooms have said
They reported they would attack the
measures constitutionahty in the su-
preme court. Some announced they
plan in the meantime to evade the
law by one method of indirection OF
another.

tAssoeiated Press,

Arcadia, July 19.-Zeb Parker, of
this city, is advising friends who own
automobiles not to give the "high
sign to the train crew if they ever
attempt to race a train while driving
on the highways in this section which
parallel the railroads. Parker, accom-
panied by two friends, attempted to
out run an A. C. L. passenger train
between Fort Ogden and Nocatee one
day last week At the wheel of the
big car, Parker stepped" on the gas
and grinned at the train crew, at the
same time waving goodbye" The
wave was a mistake for as he raised
his hand he lost control of the ma
chine and the car sweYEed into the
ditch and turned over The occupants
were badly bruised and the train
which stopped. picked them up and
brought them here.

EX-SERVICE MEN COMPLAIN
COLLISION AT THE
COMMERCIAL CORNER

Mrs. Padgett from Anthony and
one of Mr.. Goldman's Ford trucks had
a dispute as to the right of way on
the Commercial Bank corner at $50
yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Padgett
was coming south on Magnolia street
with the intention of turning the cor
ner east towards the ten cent store.
The Goldman truck was headed north
on Magnolia, expecting to continue
north towards the ocala National
Bank. Mrs. Padgett evidently ex-
petced the truck to slow down and let
her go ahead, but the truck kept on
its course and Mrs. Padgett hit it
broadside little forward Of the CEN
ter. The poor little Ford got the
worst of the mix-up and was driven
sideways for about six feet, its left
hand front wheel was driven consid-
erably out of line and its front axel
sprung. According TO the city traffic
ordinance it appears that Mrs. Pad
gett was in the wrong. The ordinance
says that vehicles On the right have
the right of way. The Goldman truck
was on the right of Mrs. Padgett as
she turned and she should have slowed
down or stopped. if necessary, in
orderto let it pass the corner before
she turned. Officer Bronson appeared
on the scene of the smash almost i'm
mediately. He took the names of the
drivers and asked that they appear
before the recorder for hearing to
decide who was in the right.

FREDDIE CRUISE HURT

Yesterday afternoon about $3.50
O'Clock, Freddie Cruise, one of Ocala's
hustling news boys, was hurt in a col
lision with an automobile driven by
Mr.. Alfred MacKay. Freddie had just
received his supply of papers at the
depot and was running a race with
the other boys to see who could get
uptown and sell the most papers in
ing south on Main street and at the
corner of Oklawaha avenue and Main
ran full tilt into the side of Mr.. Mac
Kay's car. Freddie's legs struck the
car on the running board and one leg
had both bones broken. Mr.. MacKay
picked the unfortunate boy up and
carried him at once to doctor and
had his leg set. Freddie is in. for a
dull time of it for a few days and his
friends will extend their wishes for
his speedy recovery.
The accident was in no way the
fault of Mr.. MacKay. He was driving
west on Oklawaha avenue and could
not see Freddie on account of the tall
pile of brick in the street at that
point. It is almost impossible, to see
another car coming behind that tall
brick pile and the boy could neither
see the car nor Mr.. MacKay the boy
until they had both passed the corner
Then Freddie was running too fast to
stop before hitting the car. Until the
building on that corner is completed
this is and will be a dangerous spot
and should be approached with eau
tion. Freddie's accident should be q
warning to all motorists and pedes-
trians to look out carefully at that
point

TAKING A GIRL
AWAY FROM TAMPA

The report has come to Ocala from
Tampa that one of our best and most
beloved young men, working here in
one of our stores, obtained short
vacation last week and went to Tampa.
That while there he strayed away
from the fold and took unto himself a
wife and that he has come back to
Ocala to prepare place for her. We
sincerely trust that in future when
cur boys go away they will first take
out love insurance so that they will be
immune from the charms of out of
town damsels. Ocala boys and girls
should stick to home talent, when it
comes to marrying. 1t is useless to
go away for a good-looking wife when
we have the prettiest girls in the
state right here at home.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

"For God and country the veterans
of the world war have taken upon
themselves the ever-needed vigilance
of guarding our sacred institutions
and again pouring out their hearts in
full expression to uphold and defend
them. They have formed the Amer
ican Legion with a preamble said to
be a masterpiece.
"For God and country, we associate
ourselves together for the following
purposes: To uphold and defend the
constitution of the United States of
America; to maintain law and order;
to foster and perpetuate a 100 per
cent Americanism; to reserve the
memories and incidents of our asso-
citation in the great war; to inculcate
a sense of individual obligation to the
communitya state and nation; to COM
bat the autocracy of both the masses
and the classes; to make right the
master of might; to promote peace
and good will on earth; to safeguard
and transmit to posterity the princi-
pies of Justice, freedom and democra-
cy; to consecrate and sanctify our
comradeship by our devotion to mu-
tual helpfulness."
To be watchfu1 and ever aroused to
the needs of the hour; to reconsecrate
and rededicate Americans to America;
to love our country above anything
else; to make her honor, our honor;
and the glory of her name our own,
speaks and describes the course of the
American Legion goal. To understand
America, to be a satisfied American
and the use of education, laws and
nationalism are idealistic of their en-
deavors.
Then friend American if eligible as
a veteran of the world war, why not
join the American Legion, and if not
eligible fo membership why not back
them, strengthen and help build the
legion? They truly are the American
Legion of American for Americans.
Let us have your application and
let's make the post here a power for
good. c. w. Moremen,
Post Commander.

DELRAY BANKER
HAD NO DRINKS
Men Who Held Him Up We're Prob
>. ably BOozefghters

Jacksonville, July ia. G. Evans,
of Delray, cashier of the Bank of Del
ray, is said by friends here to have
been the "maddest" man to arrive in
Jacksonville last week. Mr.. Evans.
accompanied by his wife and two chill
dren, were en- route Friday from Live
Oak to Jacksonville in his automobile
when just before reaching the end of
the brick road near Marietta three
machines from the rear. passed his
car, formed pocket ahead of him
and forced him to stop. Several men
left the forward automobiles, sur
rounded the Evans machine and de-
manded the right to search it. Mr.
Evans resisted verbally, he said, but
he, his wife and children, one of them
an infant of six months, were forced
from the car while the visiting dele
cation ransacked it. One of the men,
Mr.. Evans said, had two pistols prom
inently displayed at his belt while an
other exuded strong fumes of liquor
when he spoke:
Tn searching party pulled up the
seat cushions, raked out the contents
of the tool box, sounded the gasoline.
tank, and fished out the contents of
the pockets of the car. They found
no liquor, Mr.. Evans said, because he
had none and not being a drinking
man he never had occasion to carry
any of it with him.
fThe proceeding was disgraceful
and humiliating," Mr. Evans said,
"and entirely unreasonable. / have
no doubt that there is much liquor
coming into this country. l am told
there is quite a lot arriving frequent
ly and that officers are covering the
roads, but this hold-up occurred about
o'clock in the afternoon. / was driv-
ing very leisurely and besides had
Mrs. Evans and our two children in
the car with me. It does look as if
officers-if these men were really of
ficers-could use some discretion in
their operations. and it is very hu-
initiating to be held up in such a
manner"
