constituents who are losing heavily.
One of these was from J. W. Cham Chamberlain,
berlain, Chamberlain, grower of fancy vegetables,
specializing in beans, peas and irri irrigated
gated irrigated lettuce and cucumbers, whom
Congressman Clark recommended to
the federal authorities as one of the
most substantial truck farmers in his
section of Florida.
Mr. Clark pointed out that while
the truck growers of the state are
eager to patriotically do all they can
to help feed the world in the present
crisis, now that they cannot either
get cars to transport their produce
or must see it rotting while en route
to market, they are not at all inclined
to feel any great enthusiasm about
replanting other bumper crops for
next season's consumption.
The letter from Mr. Chamberlain,
filed by Congressman Clark with
Food Administrator Hoover and with
Director General of Railroads Mc
Adoo is in part as follows:
"We the' growers and shippers of
perishables are up against it. The
following schedules should be to New
York 4 to 5 days, now it is 8 to 10,
and the goods are not delivered to
consignee upon arrival. For instance,
I had one car of cabbage in Macon ar arrive
rive arrive there at 10:30 a. m. on the 15th
delivered to unload on the afternoon
of the 17th. This is an outrage.
"If we are to supply food, we must
have a reasonable service. Why should
the railroad still solicit business if the
government has the railroad in hand?
I can tell you it was a wise vote that
defeated government ownership of
railroads. Why should they, the own
ers, be guaranteed a certain per cent
cn their money during the war? We
have nothing to do but work ourselves
to death for onthing, caused by in incompetent
competent incompetent management of the rail
roads. v
"There are plenty of cars to handle
all the business, why don't they unload
them? The United States has at her
command armies of soldiers, among
them many railroad men. If nothing
else can be done, these should be de detailed

freight. There are plenty of engines

is going to let cars of perishables

useless for us to do more than raise

"We ask for consideration and fair
relief. We want to help. We follow
these perisable crops with staple
crops and hog crops. In order to aid
in food conservation we must have

Washington, March 7. The sur

would be no government hospital lo

the opinion of Mr. Clark the depart

there is no necessity for such an un

other Florida cities.
It is possible that the decision to
build no hospital at Lake City was
reached when it became apparent

that Lake City had been recommend

Owing to the fact that the presi president

as planned, but adjourned to meet
Wednesday, March 13th, at 2 p. m.,

However an hour or more was
spent very profitably by those present
in discussing points brought out by
the work of the committees among
the people of the county. Many new
ideas and plans were suggested for
the progress of this year's fair, and
n;any old ideas revived which on ac account
count account of financial burdens it has been
impossible to carry out at a previous
ffcir.
It looks now as though the fair is
an assured fact as the report from
the committees present showed that
already over $2200 had been subscrib subscribed
ed subscribed and this represented the report of
two committees and a small part of
the report of a third committee.
It is most gratifying to know that
fully half of this amount comes from
the country for we all realize that
the farmer is the backbone of the
county fair.
The work of the committees who
have already been in the field proves
conclusively that the people do not
want to see Marion county lose its
fair and that the fair is an institution
near to the heart of every loy citizen.

"I have your letter of February 26,
enclosing communications from the
governor of Florida to you and the
secretary of war. The governor sets
forth very forcefully the facts and the
attendant difficulties in respect to the
non-withdrawal of selected negroes
from Florida.
"It is true that although practically
all of the white contingent of the first
draft has been called to the colors, the
negroes are still awaiting call. The
problem of segregating the races has
been, as you can well imagine, most
difficult. It was not practicable at the

ganizations but as soon as the first
organization- was completed the war

this fault and it is true that in pur pursuance

that, before any new draft of white
men is taken, all the negroes remain remaining

"The most serious difficulty encoun encountered

was that most of the southern states
in which national army cantonments
are located protested vigorously
against the introduction of any ne negroes

sult result that negroes in states in which
there were no cantonments had to be
mobilized at northern cantonments.
During the inclement weather of the
past winter it was not considered wise
to take Florida negroes out of their
pleasant equitable climate into the exT
treme cold of any of the northern
camps.
"From what I have said you will
see that the whole problem has been
given earnest consideration and that
what is believed to have been the best
solution under the circumstances has
been reached. You can assure Gov Governor
ernor Governor Catts that the negroes will be
taken from Florida within a short
time.
"Your letter seems to have been
written on the assumption that this
office is responsible for the dates on
which drafted men are called to the
eclors and for the schedule on which
they are called. This is in error. The

SPLENDID SENTIMENT
In a letter to his father, W. K. Ze-
wadski, of this city, Lieut. Olaf Ze Ze-wadski,
wadski, Ze-wadski, one of Ocala's brave boys,
now in the aviation service on the
western front, expresses the follow
ing noble sentiment, which should be
an inspiration to the boys who are in
khaki, and an incentive to the boys
who are not. He writes: "Nearly
every little woman you see wears
mourning and often you see disabled
men back from the front wearing
badges of honor. Everything is very
warlike, and being young and single
like I am, had I not enlisted, now
knowing the actual conditions exist existing,

They'd laid on patriotic backs.
With purest joy each extra cent
By yours sincerely will be spent,
Since every penny goes to slug
Von Hinderburg's ungodly mug.
When income taxes loudly call,
My answer's, "Come and take it all.
For poverty I do not yearn,
But you can have all I can earn,
If it will help us to erase
The nose from Herr von Tirpitz's

On taxi-cabs and trolley-cars.

On pugs and pink angora cats,

We black the lecherous Teuton's eye.

And laugh with joy-as I shall pay

If all these extras go to spill

The gypsies passed her little gate
She stopped her wheel to see
A brown-faced pair who walked the
road,
Free as the wind is free,
And suddenly her tidy room
A prison seemed to be.

She never knew or guessed
The wistful dream that drew them

The longing in each breast
Some day to know a home like hers
Wherein their hearts might rest.

"The Seven Swans"
The beautiful fantasy presented by
the Paramount Film Co., featuring
Marguerite Clark, will be shown at
the Temple today and Friday.
Miss Clark's performance grows in
merit as the theme of the tale affords
her more emotional opportunity. The
idea is that of girlish devotion and
self-sacrifice. She must preserve si silence
lence silence under trying circumstances
while weaving a spell to restore her
seven lost brothers. She weaves in si silence
lence silence when implored to declare hei
love by Prince Charming, when a word
would restore her to her father, when
it means death at the stake if she
does not speak, weaves up to the last
moment, when horrible death is immi imminent,
nent, imminent, to be saved and restored to those
for whom she has risked so much.
Miss Clark endows the character with
great sweetness, submission and re repressed
pressed repressed emotion, displaying high
qualities as an artist in subtle revela revelation
tion revelation of feeling during this trial.
While it is difficult to make a story
of this kind interesting in these days
of stress and storm, especially when
its appeal is to imagination and sym sympathy
pathy sympathy of childhood, good construction
results, after the action is well under
way, in a suspense which holds to the
last. The presentation pleased a

"cute," and her parts clever and
amusing. Then she came in "Intoler "Intolerance,"
ance," "Intolerance," where she did some wonderful
acting, but even then many critics
said, "Yes, she's splendid actress, but
she surely isn't pretty." Even these
were won over Tuesday night, as in
that picture she took the part of a
society girl, with her hair beautifully
arranged and many beautiful gowns,
all of which made Miss Marsh an
ideal star, and she won all hearts in
the audience.
The price of admission to "The

the form of a float and our earliest and

of nature's own construction, simply
a forked tree limb.
This gradually developed Into a more
perfect mode of conveyance, being
mounted on rollers or logs, and here
began the development of the axle and
the wheel. The most primitive form
of wheel- was the simple roller made
from a tree trunk, afterward differen differentiated

trimming down the middle portion of
the cylinder In such a manner as to
leave the center of the trunk as a

The next step was the substitution
of two shorter sections of tree trunks
attached to a rotating axle ; flat, round
cylinders of stone doubtless were used
as well, and later a considerable ad advancement

Barrier to Sight of Stars.
A theory gaining scientific accept acceptance
ance acceptance is that in the void of interstellar
space there is a substance which veils
from our view the stars beyond a cer certain
tain certain limit of distance. Consisting pre presumably
sumably presumably of microscopic and Mdely
scattered particles, it nevertheless
makes a barrier to vision when dis distances
tances distances are sufficiently great.
In other words, If we were far
enough away, from the sun there would
be enough of these particles between
ourselves and that luminary to render
it invisible to lis..
Dr. C. G. Abbott of the Smithsonian
institution, said that the estimated
density of this substance" is one tril trillion

Pretty thin, one might say. And yet
a sphere (in space) whose radius was

Varieties of Pearls.
Among the varieties of so-called
pearls there are at times small dark
gray or blackish pearls, which are
more or less flattened and lack the
Jet black luster and perfect shape of
the so-called black pearls. These are
true pearls, probably secured from pin pinna
na pinna shell, and possess some small value.
They may be easily distinguished from
the false pearls by their color and
shape. Very small round pearls of a
golden luster are secured from a small
avicula that has a beautiful golden
luster on the inside. The avicula shell
Is usually less than six centimeters in
diameter, and I have never seen a p4arl
produced by this shell that was larger
than a No. 6 shot. The big, perfectly
round yellow pearls offered for sale
are usually frauds.

Possible to Be Too Abrupt.
It is said that W. S. Gilbert, the
English dramatist, when he called on
his friends, always made a quick exit.
His alert temperament was evidently
opposed to dawdling. He knew how
tedious lingering farewells could be.
Now and then one meets some one
of his kind, alert, definite, considerate
of others and of himself as welL
But, of course, In this regard it Is
possible to overdo. There are those
who leave so quickly that they create
a sense of abruptness and possibly of
concern as well. Their departure may
be followed by such remarks as "Why
did he leave in that way?' or "Could
she have been hurt About anything 2"
