we do protest against communities

TOWN THAT NEVER
HAD A SALOON
DeFuniak Springs, Fla, Aug. II

DeFuniak Springs, Fla, Aug. 16.
Publicity Committee, ..
Pensacola, Fla.
Dear Sir:
l have yours of Aug. II asking that
1 give you information as to prohI-
bitiOn in Walton county.
AS you doubtless know, DeFuniak
Springs has never suffered from the
curse of saloon. Almost at the
birth of the town Wdfton county voted
dry and local option has prevailed
ever since. 1t would be, therefore, al
most impossible to give you figures
or satisfactory data as to the differ
ence in criminality and cost of gov
eminent of the dry times as COM
pared with the wet times, especially
is it so in the city government. How
ever, 1 feel satisfied that the criminal
record within our town when 1t is
compared with the criminal records or
wet towns of the same size will show
the value of prohibition in suppress
ing crime 1t is an unusual occur
renee for crime Of any seriousness
to be committed within the corporate
limits of DeFTntak Springs.
You ask, does prohibition prohibit?
In reply to this Will say that from
time to time there have been those
who so utterly disregard the laws of
the land as to attempt to sell whfskey
in violation of the local option laws.
The majority of such Offenses have
been committed by cOlored people and
a few 10y the lawless white people, bat
the prohibition sentiment Is so strong
that these parties are brought to JUS
tice and with such sentences as our
higher courts have been and are i'm
posing upon such Of nnderS, the &C.
casional illicit sales OF Intoxicating
liquors is, in my opinion, greatly de-
creasing. / feel that the only thing
that prevents local option from en-
tirely prohibiting in this county is
the nearness to Pensacola, with which
a nefario1r iu~ ard hoJIe trade has
been carried on from time to II
The present incumbent as mayor has
been in office for a little over month
and there have been only three cases
before MIN for drunkenness and in
QlTiry has showed two of the parties

one from Florala, Ala.
| would say that prohibition means
more to the growth Of any town f1nan-
cially, socially, morally and education
ally, than any other one step town
or city could take.
The good people Of DeFuniak

have a wet county If they could. and
the bad people could not if they

Frank Hudson of Century Is
Only Puzzler Who Was
Right Last Week.
PUZZLE THIS WEEK IS NOTHING
LIKE AS HARD AS THE ONE
LAST SUNDAY, ALTHOUGH ONE
PART OF IT WILL REQUIRE
LOTS OF THINKING.

Frank HUDSON, OF Century, Fla, was
the. only one of the puzzle army who
got the puzzle right last week Here
is his answer
The Right Answer.

white 4, down four places 70 white s.
up five places TO black 6, down six
places to black Z, up seven places and

Wrong Answers.
The other answers were wrong In
various ways, but an the children
made one of two mistakes. Either,
when they went dlagona4y, they got
off the line5 or else, after once getting
out Of the big square and choosing a
line, they did not go back and forth
on the same row
This weeks puzzle, however. is not
nearly as hard as the one last week,
and there will be lot more answers.
The part about the numbers is not
easy. but it is not so very hard; and
the rest is not very hard. The clean
city is a capital joke, and the names
of the children are easy names. such
as the children you go to school with
have.
The explanations printed on the
face of the puzzle picture are not
very plain today. So, read the fol-
lowing carefully if YOU want to get the
answers right:

Up-to-Date Testimony.
JUDGE BEGGS ON
EFFECT ON CRIME

Publicity Committee,
Escambia County Prohibition League,
City.
Dear Sir: In reply to your request
for the results of my observation in
the criminal court of records of Es-
Gambia county as to the extent Of the
cases attributable to the use of intOx-
icating liquors, / beg to say that so
far as | know there has been no rec
ord kept which shows the actual
number of such cases, but the facts
presented in court by statements and
evidence show that many of the cases
coming before the court were attrib-
utable directly or indirectly to such
cause.
This has been true in nearly all the
cases in the catalogue of crimes. 1t
has been so in assaults of all kinds
from simple assaults up to assaults
resulting in death; carrying concealed
weapons; discharging firearms in pas
senger trains; exhibiting weapons
in a threatening manner; resisting Of
ficers; conspiracies to commit crime;
larceny, obtaining property by false
pretenses, forgery and uttering
forged paper, embezzlement, Illicit
intercourse between different sexes,
drunkenness and other cases that
could be named. At the last term of
the court it was particularly notice
able that a number of the cases, some
of them the most important, were at
tributable to this cause.
Such cases have been caused by
the use Of Intoxicating liquors, in
some instances by the defendants; IN
others by the parties assaulted who
brought on the difficulties, and in
still others. by both parties.
One fact which is particularly i'm
pressive and distressing, and which,
of course, applies to all cases, how
ever caused. is that the suffering, Sor-
row and shame rest not alone upon
the many defendants and persons di-
rectly injured, but also upon the far
greater number of innocent ones, the
relatives and friends OF the princi-
pals, in many instances helpless wives
and children.
| am sure that all who are familiar
with the proceedings in the court
will concur in the opinion that the
cases at nearly every term, If not
every term, of the court, present con-
vincing arguments against the use of
intoxicating liquors and in favor OF
the prohibition of their sale.
Yours very truly.
E. D. BEGGS,
Judge of the Criminal Court OF Es-
Gambia county.

FOR CITY PARK
IMPROVEMENT
Man Who Has Studied Mat
ter Will Speak Next
Wednesday.
MEETING WILL BE HELD IN
CHAMBER OF COM NJ & r c E
ROOMS AND LARGE ATTEND
ANCE is DESIRED.

John P. Brown, editor of Aboricul-
ture, a Journal of the Forests, was in
Pensacola yesterday, having come
here to confer with the park commits
sioners who now have the improve
ment of the Plaza in hand. Chairman
Greenhut and Commissioners Clark
and Yonge spent considerable time
with Mr.. Brown going over various
plans not only for the improvement
or the Plaza but of Pensacola general
ly, particularly as regards the plant
ing of trees.
As Mr.. Brown had to leave last
night it was arranged for him to re-
turn here next Wednesday when a
public meeting will be called in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms and he
will make a talk upon the subject of
tree planting and city Improvement
Pensacola has for years been de-
ficient in park and street improve
mentS and recently some of her pub
lie spirited citizens have been trying
to awaken a public sentiment and
civic pride which viii result in some
improvements of the kind noted.
At next Wednesdays meeting it is
hoped that the public generally will
attend and that the members of the
city council and the board of public
works particularly will be present.

from the time that we secured pro-
hlbition. There is no comparison be-
tween the Gainesville of today and
the Gainesville We had when whfskey
was sold in our midst There is 10
doubt but that the morality OF orr
city is more than 100 per cent better
than it was when We did not have p!e,-
hibition.
More improvements have been
made in this city during the time
that We have had prohibition than
were made during thu entire time
that we had the saloons. Gainesville
began to improve immediately after
the wet and dry election and -as con-
tinued to improve steadily.

System, Developed by Danish Scientist
Proves Valuable Under Test.

II is well known that the average
mixer gets less milk than he who
does a thorough job. that incompe-
tent milking means not only direct,
but indirect loss. not only an imme-
diate l<ssening Of the fat yield. but
tends toward drying the COW. A Dan
ish scientist has recently developed
a special system OF udder manipula-
ton. a sort of massage Of the nam
mary gland. as 1t were. which II is
claimed augments the flow. The
Hepelund method. as It is called, in
wolves three manipulations, each
thrice repeated or until no more milk
is obtained First. the pressure of the
quarter on each side against each
other thrice repeated, followed by re-
moval OF the milk second. the pres
sure OF the glands together on each
side. the fore quarter being first ma

followed by removal Of the milk. and.

ounces Of butter The after milk was
very rich in fat, testing about ten
per cent. This after milking takes
not to exceed FIVE minutes time,
often only two or three minutes. The

a low estimate TO be worth two cents

more milk and butter made but the

marked. however. that the differences
in milk and butter Yields between
this method and careful stripping are
not great The Danish method en-
phasizes more perhaps than has hith-
cfto been done the actual and poten-
tial losses due to incomplete milking.
