Ocala would scarcely know what to do without the services of the Col Colliers liers Colliers in moving, loading and storing heavy articles, and it is astonishing how many calls they have on theii time, skill and equipment, and the calls come not only from Ocala but for many miles around. They excel in another line, also; that of packing pianos or any other household goods for safe shipment or storage.

WORK FOR ELORIDA Trying to Make the Director General See It is to the Common Interest to Break the Blockade on Truck (Will P. Kennedy) Washington, March 5. Continuing the efforts he has been making for the last two weeks at the office of the U. S. food administration and the head headquarters quarters headquarters of the director general of railroads to get relief for the grow growers ers growers and shippers of perishable food products from Florida, Congressman rrank Clark has presented to the ad administration ministration administration authorities several force forceful ful forceful letters and telegrams from his 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 tailed detailed to remove the congestion of freight. There are plenty of engines to move business and competent en gineers. "The state of Florida stands ready to do her BIT and she has produced something to eat of a perishable char character. acter. character. If Director General McAdoo is going to let cars of perishables stand around after the yreach their destinations before ordering them to be unloaded, we are through. Its useless for us to do more than raise enough hog and hominy for our own feed. "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 transportation service. We are not unreasonable we know. Labor is hard to get and poor, what there is of it. The best labor is m the army. "Unless something is done imme diately Florida will lose millions of dollars worth of food crops. Worse still she will Jose "faer patriotic feeling to produce something to eat.

The sur geon-general of the army has inform ed Congressman Frank Clark there would be no government hospital lo cated at Lake City at this time. In the opinion of Mr. Clark the depart ment has reached the conclusion that there is no necessity for such an un dertaking now. This applies also to all other Florida cities. It is possible that the decision to build no hospital at Lake City was reached when it became apparent sometime ago that in spite of the fact that Lake City had been recommend ed, other interests would continue to insist upon other Florida points being selected. w. s. s.

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.

In officially notifying Congressman Clark of this decision, and in explan explanation ation explanation of why the negro soldiers had not sooner been called into service Col. Hugh S. Johnson, Cavalry, Nat National ional National Army, deputy prevost marshal general, wrote as follows: "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 time of the first organization of the National Army to provide negro or ganizations but as soon as the first organization- was completed the war department set to work to remedy this fault and it is true that in pur pursuance suance pursuance of a comprehensive plan, the majority of the negroes from the south have now been withdrawn and the negroes from Florida will be tak taken en taken within a very short time. The .southern states have been assured that, before any new draft of white men is taken, all the negroes remain remaining ing remaining under the first draft will be call called ed called to the colors. "The most serious difficulty encoun encountered tered encountered in respect to Florida negroes was that most of the southern states in which national army cantonments are located protested vigorously against the introduction of any ne negroes groes negroes from other states, with the re result 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 provost marshal general is responsi responsible ble responsible for the sequence of calls. That sequence has to be fixed by the gen general eral general staff in the light of all the cir circumstances cumstances circumstances of supply and recruitment that surrounds the problem." w. s. & CASTOR BEAN CULTURE Mr. J.

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 face."

I'll pay on neckties and cigars, On taxi-cabs and trolley-cars. Ill pay on collars, cuffs and spats; On pugs and pink angora cats, Golf-clubs and pancakes, if thereby We black the lecherous Teuton's eye. Ill put a stamp on all I eat, 111 feed on sawdust 'stead of wheat, And laugh with joy-as I shall pay The taxes I must meet each day, If all these extras go to spill The Potsdamned beans of Pirate Bill.

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.

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."

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. Do you read the want ads? Possible to Be Too Abrupt. It is said that W. S.

There are those who leave so quickly that they create a sense of abruptness and possibly of concern as well.

"In Pioneer .Families of Missouri,1 Is printed a letter written by a woman to her sister in Kentucky, the Kansas City Star says: "The men and dogs have a fine time, but we poor women have to suffer. We pack water from one-half mile to one mile for cooking and washing. My ad ad-ivice ivice ad-ivice is stay where you are. But if you !see anyone coming to this country, 'send a plank cradle for poor little Pat 'rick. His poor little back Is full of hard bumps, lying In a cradle George made out of a hollow log, with a piece of wood for a pillow. George and I at tended a wedding last week. The preacher, a hard-shell Baptist, had a long buckskin overcoat. The groom as In his shirt sleeves, with white cotton pants that came just below his knees, and white cotton socks and buckskin slippers on his feet. The girl was dressed in a low-necked, short waisted, short-sleeved white cotton dress that was monstrous short for a girl like her. She had on buckskin slippers and her hair was tied with a buckskin string, which Is all the go here. And when the preacher was spelling and reading the ceremony from the book, the girl commenced sneezing and the buckskin string slipped off her hair, which fell all over her face, and everybody laughed." An early marriage ceremony In Liv ingston county took place with the couple on one side of Medicine creek and Squire Jordan on the other side. The creek was booming. The young man swam the stream and brought the squire down from his house. Then the young man swam back and took his place beside the young woman. Squire Jordan couldn't swim. He wanted to postpone the ceremony a few days un til the creek went down. The young folks wouldn't have it. They joined hands and told the squire to go ahead. The questions and answers were shout ed across the creek and the knot was tied. Medicine creek got Its name, ac according cording according to tradition, because a country doctor In trying to swim It lost his "pill bags as they were called.

Although potas potassium. sium. potassium. In its combinations, is one of the most widely distributed of the ele ments, it is found massed In bulk in only a few places. The Saxon deposits at Stassfurt, and the beds In Alsace, are the world's chief sources of sup ply. Elsewhere, potash is to be had only by the treatment of great quantities of material, with a small resultant yield. The case is not as bad as that of radium, where a ton of ore may give only a fraction of a grain of the pre precious cious precious metal; but it Is bad enough to make its extraction an extremely cost costly ly costly process. The farmer's wife has al always ways always known how to leach potash from wood ashes In sufficient quantity to make the soft soap for the family washing, but this method does not pay commercially.
