state senator. Mr.. Wicker thanked
Marion for it's courtesy and good
faith toward Sumter. He has been a
firm believer in Ocala for the state
capital ever since he came to Florida
| thirty-six years ago. He is unalterab-
ly opposed to state division, saying~we
can't afford to lose West Florida. Mr..
Wicker made the speech of a good
country neighbor and won the hearts
| of the crowd.
The election is proceeding quietly,
but unless there is more interest than
in the campaign the vote will be light.
1t is believed that Trammell and
Clark will carry the county by large
majorities. The vote for railroad COM
missioner is problematical. 1t is con-
sidered that Mayo's election is certain,
tho the campaign of lying and mis-
representation which broke out
against him in the last two weeks,
has undoubtedly had some effect on
those not acquainted with the facts. 1t
Hunter and Hooker will be close, with
the odds at present on Hooker. He
is very strong in the city, and the
city voters are turning out better
than those in the country. Freddy is
also strong in some country precincts.
1t was supposed that Hunter was i'm
pragnable in the country, but the last
few days have shown some gaps in his
fences. However. he has great many
friends, and it's anybody's election
until the votes are counted.
1t is not advisable to bet on who
will be the winning candidate for the
office of supervisor. 1t is to be sup
posed that the women will vote for
Mrs. Turner, and a good many men
are voting for her in order to give
the women a chance to make good in
Office. Also, some men, we regret to
say, are voting against her just be-
cause she is a woman. 1t would seem
logical that Mr.. Stephens be elected
as he has made very efficient mem

friends of the other two candidates.

Excellent Game Played by School
Boys Saturday Afternoon

persistence of John DIETER known as
jack Thomson, the Ocala high school
boys have begun the organization of
a soccer ball team. Jack was very

gathered at Hunter Park for their
first lesson in the rudiments of the

started. Several of the boys showed
quite an aptitude for the game and
a scoreless tie resulted. Duval high
already has soccer team and it is
Jacks intention to get together a
team for the Ocala ladys that will be
good enough to play Duval and some
of. the other teams in the state. A
schedule will be arranged and those
who try for the team are almost as
sured of a few nice trips for their
trouble as well as the sport derived
from participation in the games.

ENGLISH FARMERS TOLD
TO EXPECT HARD TIMES

London, Nov. 25.-"Agriculture
cannot be made to pay any longer in
England on the lines followed in the
past under present conditions" said
Sir Arthur Boscawen in the last
speech he made as minister of agri-
culture. While he was talking to the
members of the Farmers Union
about the hard times that were in
evitably in store for the majority of
them, Premier Lloyd George handed
IN his resignation to the king and Sir
Arthur automatically became an ex-
minister.
His speech, as he admitted himself,
contained only "cold comfort for those
who had to get their livings from the
land" Some farmers, he prophesied,
would go under, and there would be
acute distress in the country districts
before prosperity could return.
"There may be a future for the
dairy farmers" he said, "and/ live
stock farming generally may be able
to pay fairly we'll in time, but for the
arabic farmers-the corn growers-l
can see only gloomy outlook" Re
ferring to the views of one of his pre-
decessors in office, he said: "Lord ALL
wyn probably was right in thinking
that much arabic land will become
grass; that the rural. districts will be
depopulated, and that there will be
great misery among farmers and theil
laborers."
| According to his own survey of the
state of agriculture, its future seemed
to lie in large farmers in favorable
| districts, cultivated as cheaply as pos
sible, with patches of intensively cul
tivated land.
"What can the government do?" h
asked. ''There are only two RENE
dies-protection or subsidies"
| The farmers showed plainly whicl
cf the two remedies they preferre,
by cheering loudly the mention O
protection" and greeting Subsidies
with vociferous cries of dissent. Blu
Sir Arthur would not allow the poo
farmers to comfort themselves wit
any false hopes.
"It would be dishonest to suggest,
he declared, "that at the present tim
either remedy is practical. The ag
ricultural interests have a compare
J lively small representation in tn
house of commons, which is perma
/ nently urban in character. The GOV
: ernment may adopt some palliative.
/ but it will insist that agriculture mus
n work out its own salvation on an ect
e lnomic basis"

AMERICAN AVIATOR
FLEW OVER ANDES

Lima, Peru, Nov. 25.-What was
probably the most daring aviation
feat yet recorded in South America
is the flight by an American aviator,
Elmer j. Faucet, from Lima to the
Amazon port of Iquitos. Fancett,
who is attached to the staff of the Ma
tional Aeronautic Company of Peru,
left Lima in Curtiss "Oriole" plane,
ii an effort to win a prize of $4,000
for the first airplane fight from this
capital to Iquitos, offered by the Peru
Wan congress. The first lap of the
fight was to Chiclayo, 400 miles north
of Lima. Faucet made this distance
in six hours and landed safely on the
arid plains near that city.
Several weeks were required to get
the plane in condition for the second
stage of the flight, which was partic-
ularly dangerous in the absence of air
maps and other guides. Iquitos is
more than 500 miles from Chiclayo in
straight air line, and the interven-
ing country is as wild as can be found
in South America. This region is a
vast tangle of difficult mountai,.
passes, cascades and rapids until the
highest ranges of the Andes are pass
ed at an elevation of from 10000 to
1900 feet. The Maranon river and
its afauents, which flow into the
Amazon, have cut tremendous chasms
IN the ranges of the Andes, down
which swift, turbulent streams flow
in their course to the Atlantic. After
that come the tropical lands leading
up to the Amazon proper, where inn
penetrable jungles and swamp wastes
make travel of any kind difficult.
i 1t was over such a country that
Faucet had to fly when he made his
final "hop-off" from Chiclayo on 0c.
tober 9Th. Had his motor failed him
no trace of aviator or plane woult
probably ever have been discovered
As it was, he was forced to lanc
when ohly forty minutes of flying sep
arated him from his goal A driving
rain and Thunderstorm forced hin
down on an islet In the Tigre river
where bis plane became mired IN tn,
soft sand, causing him to break pro
peiler. A passing launch from Iqui
tos picked him up and carried tn
stranded aviator to the isolated ANA
zon port, where he was given tire
mendous ovation. His flying tim
from Chiclayo up to the moment o
the accident was also six hours, or
total of twelve hours from Lima.
