The Ocala Star is the Alice in Won
derland of the state press. One day
it comes out six columns, the next
seven, then back to six. Nobody but
Alice, could ever change size so
often:-Phil Armstrong in Times
Union.
Well, Alice was some nifty little
girl, wasn't she? The Times-Union or
any other great paper could pull the
same stunt by installing a complete
set of rubber chases.

1t can, be said for cole Cats" he
didn't raise the taxes. In proof of
this we most respectfully request the
taxpayers of Levy county to compare
their. tax receipts under the Cats ad-
ministration with the ones this tax

1t seems to us, Friend Farmer, that
you have been in public life long
enough to know that the governor
does not raise nor lower the taxes.
That iscdone by the legislature.

Florida newspapers generally seem
discontinued with the result of the
trial of the wiretappers at Fort Lau-
derdale. They were let off with fines,
and. the consensus of opinion is that
they should have been sent to the
pen ---Ocala Star.
Practically every citizen of Fort
Lauderdale and every court official
would have been glad to see peniten-
tiary sentences imposed on the wire
tappers, but the case was not strong
enough to take a chance on. Of course
the wiretappers did not know this, or
they would have stood trial. The at
torneys for the state knew it all right,
and Col. Jones, who successfully prose-
cuted and secured penitentiary SEN
fences for couple of wiretappers at
Orlando, and who was sent by Cover
nor Hardee to assist in the prosecu-
ton of the case here, was glad enough
to compromise on a $4,000 fine. A
Broward county jury might have con-
victed but if an appeal had been taken
to the supreme court the case would
not have stood up. Until the people
of other communities have secured
some sort of punishment for the con
men operating in their midst they
should not criticize Lauderdale and
the court officials of this district too
severely.-Fort Lauderdale Herald.
All right, Friend Sherwin, we guess
you know what you are talking about

OVER CROP OUTLOOK


w. H. Till, supervisor from
IPelahatchie has just finished a
"trip which carried him practically
all over Rankin County, and npoa
his return he spoke in glowing
terms of the condition of crops
generally.
He said that corn never. looked
finer at this time Of year, and
hat the stand of cotton was the
best. As result the farmers
the county are jubi-
lant over the crop prospkcts.
We believe that it is not 100
much to expect fine yield this
year, and ii this is true there will
be an era cf prosperity in Rankin
this year that will be most well
come.
The entire country is just re-
from one Of the worst
periods of depression in its his
tory, yet the farmers of this
county have suffered less in COM
parison than many other sounties
in the state. This is true because
eur 0ecpfe are a thrifty, hard
working class and as a result we
are better off today than other
less favored sections.
