Mrs. Cole deserves lots Of credit for
the wonderful work she has done in
organizing our high school band. We
certainly are proud of the apprecia-
ton shown by the people of the COM
rnunity for it. Ocala has one Of the
best, if not the best, music depart
ments in the state, and its members
are always ready and willing to lend
their assistance in any way. The band
has recently played in Dunnellon and
also played during the races at the
fair.
Hazel was late to school one morn

FARMING SITUATION
SLIGHTLY IMPROVED
Department of Agriculture
Notes Some important In
creases in Prices.

The general agricultural s!tua-; Oh
in the United States has improved
slightly. as indicated by the monthly
ment OF Agriculture. Cotton. grain
and live stock products prices. as well
as prices OF things farmers have TO
buy. have risen slowly, the October
price index on ten farm products be-
| ing 110. compared with 100 for 1919.
This has put a little money iE;o
the pockets OF some farmers. put
heart into many more. ard has done
both for those who carry farm prod
ucts through the channels Of trade
the review says.
The prices the farmer pays for other
than food products. according TO the
wholesale price index. has risen 10
16a. compared with 100 in 1918. Thus
q unit of farm products will purchase
35 per cent less OF other commodities
than it would in 1918.
