Evening Star January 81, 1922
Thursday morning the first through
passenger train over the Ocala North
ern railroad left the Seaboard pas
senger station at 8:15 with six
coaches. The engine was decorated
for the occasion and Palatka pennants
streamed from the chair car. There
was a fine representative crowd on
the train which was swelled to at least
six hundred. One of the old accom-
mediation coaches was coupled back
of the engine and at Fort Mccoy,
President Rentz ordered it cut out as
it marred the beauty of the otherwise
brand new and handsome train. Pres
ident Rentz's own guests overfowed
the chair car and number of them
had to ride in the day coach.
Messrs. Chas. H. Seig, John A.

James R. Moorhead, acting as agent
for the heirs of the estate of Jules
Meiswinkle, has sold the famous Oak
Hurst property, south of town, to DR..
NJ. T. W. Christian for cash, and the
doctor and his family ahev moved into
the house. The lime kiln was reserv-

The Evening Star secured twenty
one new subscribers yesterday.

Judging by the reports in the Miami
Herald of the behavior of the six
northern negroes who were logged in
that city the other night, they were
not so badly treated after all. They
tried to enter pavilion and dance
with white women, and ogled white
girls as they passed them on the
street. If a bunch of darkies behaved
that way in Ocala, they would have
to hustle to get out of town alive. We
wonder if negroes are allowed to be-
have like that in the north. If so,
God pity the north.

a number of men who lynched some

There doesn't seem to have been any
excuse for the bad treatment of the
negroes-it was an ebullition of race
hatred, which white men should al
ways sternly repress.

PLATTE VALLEY BREAKFAST
FOOD

The later part of last week Ira G.
Want. manager of the Platte Valley
Flour Mill, was in the city making
arrangements for the placing on sale
in this city of rolled wheat milled by
the Platte Valley Mill.
For some time past this rolled
wheat has been turned out by this
mill and 1t has attained great popu-
larity throughout the valley. Mr..
Want desires to introduce this
rolled wheat in Rawlins and H. f.
Mcfarland now has a small quantity
in stock.
1t is to the interest of Rawlins to
see the Platte Valley develop just as
far as possible. One manner in
which this can be accomplished is by
the people of Rawlins giving first
preference to Platte Valley products.
Our citizens owe it to themselves to
at least give this Platte Valley pro-
duct a trial.
Those who have used this break
fast food state that it is the superior
to hal milled in Nebraska from
Nebraska wheat and that one trial
will convince anyone that it has no
superior.
1t is hoped that Rawlins people
will give this breakfast food a fair
trial and that the sale of that pro-
duct will reach large proportions

TRAIN LOAD OF TRUCKS

Word was received at Union
Pacific headquarters this morning
that the White Motor Truck Com.
pany of Cleveland, were shipping
forty car loads of trucks to the
Pacific Coast. This news will be OF
interest to the country at large as ii
indicates that commerce is getting
back onto its feet again and such a
large order for trucks is a good sign
that business is picking up.
According to Mr.. r. r. Mitchell,
Assistant Freight Traffic Manager of
the U. P. System, this is an indica-
ton hat farmers are getting ready
to nov large crops. which is II of
the greatest signs Of returning pros
perity. 1t also shows that the road
work. which has been long delayed
is again going ahead and with these
two large items OF industry coming
at this time as they do. there will in
all probability be plenty of work and
will greatly if not entirely solve the
unemployment situation.
This train consisting of 40 steel
automobile cars will reach Omaha
some time this week and will travel
west over L. P. tracks. 1t is said
that this is the largest shipment OF
trucks yer made on one order and
also the largest trainlOad Of trucks to
move across the country.
Big business men have made long
talks about the return Of prosperity
and the prospects for the near future,
but a train load of trucks is the alb
solute proof that those conditions
are beginning to take shape and are
on the verge of becoming a reality.
