For Rouqh Irons,

Often the irons will become either
rough or rusty and It Is most annoy
ing to try to iron with them. To a
fiat board nail a long strip of sand
paper and use this for smoothing the
irons on, If you find that the bees,

a little salt on a folded newspaper and
rub the irons on this. Then wipe
them with cloth and finally rub with
the wax, Ironing will he a pleasure

One of the greatest benefits carried

that the folks in The Journal office are

such is not the fact. So long as
there is need for better highways

A City of Output as
Well as Consumption.

Pensacola should rightfully be the
distributing point of all commodities
used in West Florida that are ship
ped into this section from afar, and
probably is, but Pensacola should also
be the shipping point of all products
OF West Florida.
That a city may claim attention at
the hands of the markets Of the coun-
try at large, it must not only consume
the offerings of other market centers,
but offer to those markets a surplus
OF its own products.
West Florida farm products are
much greater than the local consump-
ton. At present the surplus is ship
ped from the local stations at when
1t Is grown. Vegetables and fruits
are shipped in many instances direct
by the grower to the northern and
eastern markets, and the grower
must at present do this because he
cannot depend upon the Pensacola
market to take care of his output.
If Pensacola would equip itself to
care for the output of the grower,
either by local sales, or by finding a
market elsewhere, this city would be
credited with shipping out a food
surplus.
This can be accomplished by Pen
sacola establishing recognized pro
duce marget. If a grower has a car
load of potatoes for immediate ship
ment, he would advise the Pensacola
commission houses. If the local mar.
ket was already stocked and retail
sales would not warrant the carload,
then the commission merchant should
arrange a sale with a market that
did want the business, and either re-
consign the shipment from Pensacola,
or have it shipped direct TO the mar
ket at which the sale is made from the
growers station.
Pensacola is so situated that a COM
mission house here could probably
get the benefit of the rate into Pensa-
cola on business RECONSTRUCTED to north
ern or eastern markets. and with the
business being handled by local
brokers this city would be accredited
vita an output of food products.
The farmer would benefit greatly
also. He would know that a market
was always available, that he would
obtain the market price for his pro-
duce, based upon the produce mar
kets of the country at large. He
would no longer be compelled to con-
tract his output on the field. without
regard to the daily market, but would
be able to take advantage of daily
quotations and ship accordingly.
Establish a produce market in Pen
sacola, handle the entire output OF
West Florida and South Baldwin
county, through the local market and
Pensacola viii take its place among
the markets of the country, and be
known not only as a city of consump-
tion. but a city of output as well.
