COULDN'T READ THE SIGNALS
Later, Mystified Newcomers to New
York Were Enlightened, and
Little Embarrassed

Newcomers to New York by steam
ship begin to learn things about the
city as soon as their vessel gets head
ed up the harbor. There was a party
of such on a vessel from Southern
ports.
From the roof of high downtown
office building they saw what ap-
peared to be string of signal flags
swapping In the breeze. Some were
white, some were striped and one big
one was flaming red.
IF we only knew the code We could
tell what they mean" said member
of the party. Perhaps they indicate
what channel we are to take up the
river"
COR maybe they are weather warn
ings of some kind" guessed another.
Lets ask one Of the officers"
They did. The officer looked first
with the naked eye and then with his
glasses. -
That's the janitor's wash hung out
on the roof to dry" he announced, as
he finished his survey: 1.-The big red
one Is tablecloth. '@Pittsburgh Dis
patch.

o K. TEAPOT SELF SERVE

The self serve department of the
o. K. Teapot Grocery opened this
morning. Miss Elizabeth Bennett, one
of Ocala's pretty and competent young
ladies, presides at the cash register.
This department Of the o. K. Teapot
has been entirely renovated. The
goods are arranged in neat shelves
and sections around three sides Of the
room, and the inside has been parti-
toned with q low lattice in natural
wood that has been stained and var
nished and the remainder of the place
is spic and span in white paint, which
makes it a pleasure to shot in and
visit this attractive store.
Mr.. Harvey Clark, proprietor Of the
o. K. Teapot, is one of our most up
to-date business men and his new
department promises to be very popu-
lar with ne public.

Whence the "Spit Curl"

The curl over the forehead, as worn
by young ladies of today, has a very
long literary history, having been men
toned before the time of Shakespeare,
and probably has existed for many
centuries. A very antique statue de-
picts Opportunity as having a bald
head, save for one lock of hair In
the center of the forehead. This was
to show that there was but one chance
to take advantage of an opportunity.
Doubtless the bellies Of that day, tax
ing the lesson taught by the marble
to heart, began to wear q similar lock.
The practice has continued to the
present day.
The curIs are made to adhere to the
forehead by the application of any
one of many modern substances made
expressly for that purpose. These
curls are called by the commonalty,
spit curls," hut this 10 q misnomer
and misleading.

One of the striking features

One Of the striking features of the
movement of farm population in the
United States is the steadily growing
demand for farm lands in Florida.
This movement comes from all over
the country-north. east and west and
puts Florida well forward in the list
of the most active states in point of
number of farms sold in 1921 and
easily in the lead of all Southern
states. These conclusions are drawn
from report just issued by the
Strout Farm Agency, which last year
sold 323 Florida farms. Orange groves
constitute the greatest attraction to
these buyers from other states but
many of them on arriving here find
the tsock raising and general produce
farms so profitable that they abandon
their plans for fruit growing and take
up truck farms and stock raising in
stead

very pretty party. The lower floor
presented an ideal spring scene. In
the many hooks and corners were pot
ted plants, ferns, roses and yellow

blossoms combined with jasmine car
ried out the idea of spring time. About
fifty ladies called during the evening

A BIRTHDAY PARTY

On Wednesday, which was the sew
enth anniversary of Master Clifton
Hooker, his mother invited a number
of little boys and girls to help him
celebrate, so in the afternoon about
thirty-fve children gathered at the
Hooker home on East Fort King ave-
nue., the young host receiving num-
Der of presents, the gifts of those in
vited. The afternoon was passed out
of doors, all kinds of games being en-
tered into and enjoyed as only chill
dren can enjoy them. One especially,
the new game of Po-go-ing, caused
much interest and fun. After a jolly
and happy time had been spent play
ing games, the hostess served ice
cream, cake, cookies and candy, the
refreshments being served on the
lawn. And when the time came for
the guests to leave it was with re-
luctance that they took their depar-
ture, telling the small host what a
happy time they had had, and wishing
him many happy returns of the day.

lmportatfons OF Fir and Spruce From
Canada Are to &c Made for
the Purpose.

The British Isles are to be refor-
ested with Douglas FIR and Sitka
spruce from British Columbia. To OBJ
tain the necessary seed. a seed ex-
tracing plant will be established at
Westminster by the dominion forestry
service.
Shipment of green cones has been
found impracticable. The new plant
will handle ton and a half Of cones
every six hours. The cones will be
dried under hot air blast and as they
open, the seed will fall from the dry
ing cylinder OF fine mesh into a hop
per. Present requirements call for
5000 pounds each of fir and spruce
seed annually for which 1t will be
necessary TO gather 100 tons Of cones.
Sitka spruce cones will be collected
on the Queen Charlotte islands where
the tree fiourishes in abundance. The
cones Of the Douglas ar will be gath
cred On the western slopes OF the
Rocky mountains tributary to the
Fraser river
This Is fur country Of the Hudson 3
Bay company, now closing out its
lands In the prairie provinces to farm
settlers. The company's posts are still
dotted through this region of primeval
wilderness.
Investigations of the British COM
mission working out the vast refor-
estation scheme have shown Douglas
fir and Sitka spruce best adapsed for
the purpose.
Centuries Of tree cutting have left
the islands Of the British group de-
nuded of forests and reforestation IL
necessary to replenish the timber.
