Grazing and WsterfIow investigations

Mir. A. F. Potter, Chief of the Branch of Grazing, United States Forest Service, left Washington Thursday, July Is, for Santa Fe, New Mexico. The first object of his trip was to confer with Cover nor Curry, July P, with regard to proposed additions to the Pecos National Forest. An examination .of the withdrawn land will be made for the purpose of determin- ing what part of 1t shall be added to the National Forest and what part released. It is expected that ths examination will take about ten days or two weeks,
 On the first of September, Mir. Potter and Mir. D. D. Bronson, of the Forest Service, will start from Phoenix, Arizona, to make an ex. animation of the land within the Verde National Forest, for the pur- pose of making recommendation regarding the regulation of grazing. These forests were created primarily for the purpose of securing favor able conditions of water fow," so that special care will need to be exercised to prevent grazing from defeating this object.
 An agreement has been made between the Secretary of the h. terior and the Secretary of Agri- culture, for investigations of the effect of the grazing of sheep and goats upon the watersheds within National Forests which are i'm. portant to irrigation. Mir. Potter and Mir. Bronson will, therefore, cooperate in these investigations with officials of the Reclamation Service.
 MT. Clifford Pinchot, Forester, has written to the Water Users Association and to the Presidents of both of the Cattle Growers and Sheep Growers Associations in Ari- zona, informing them of the pro posed examination and inviting them to arrange to have represent atives of their several interests accompany the representatives of the government. if they desire to do so.
 Investigation of the relation of stock grazing to water supply on other National Forests will be car ried on jointly by the Reclamation

A Mild Laxative
For Baby's Bowels

The infant or the child should not be
given salts, purgative waters or harsh
pills or tablets when the bowels are con-
stipated, and neither should any medi-
cine be used that contains a narcotic.
1t is well for mothers to remember
that there is no better, gentler or more
effective remedy for children's stomach
and bowel troubles than DIR. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. Its purity and mildness
make it especially adapted to young
peoples use. 1t works gently but sure
ly, and containing, as it does, many
tonic ingredients, it not only cleans out
the congested bowels, but tones the sys-
tenn and makes the child feel better in
every way.
Among the thousands who are using DR..
Caldwells Syrup PepSin is Mrs. Spaldin2, of
her baby regularly and that she would not be

Chances For Young Men.

| Recent legislation has provid-
ed a good chance for a number
Of young men who might want
to enter the marine service OF
Uncle Sam. who are able to pass
the necessary examinations. Con
gresham, J. B. Bennett, has re-
ceived communication from
the marine service department
in Washington relative to a num-
Der of vacancies for second lieu
tenants, which stated that if
there are any young men in the
community who might be able
to fit themselves for the exami-
nation by October 18th, if Mr..
Bennett will have them write to
that department they will use
every influence to have the Sec
rotary of the Navy have them
take the examination.
AS a result of the legislation
there are 81 vacancies for second
lieutenants, which office pays
$1700 a year. These vacancies
are to be filled with young men
who are of sound body, who can
pass the necessary mental ex-
animation, and who bear a good
character in the community in
which they reside. The physical
requirments, besides being sound
of body, are that the men must
be at least five feet six inches
tall, and weigh not less than Io2
pounds for that height.
In the mental examination the
applicants must pass in English
grammar and be able to read,
write and spell with facility and
correctness. In the mathemati-
cal examinations all examples
will be given with the special
object Of determining the can
didate's familiarity with and I'M
derstanding of the fundamental
principles upon which the solu-
ton depends. The mathemati-
cal branches taken up are arith-

Husband, Listen!

Has your wife cause to say the
same that this woman says?
"Why Would Not Marry My
Husband Again." is the title OF
an article in a recent number OF
the Ladies Home Journal.
If all the husbands, and all the
men who are ever going to be
husbands in this broad land, were
to read and digest the things set
forth in this article, there would
surely ensue a most tremendous
boom in domestic happiness and
a slump in the divorce market.
The woman who tells the story
starts out by saying she has been
married thirty years; that she
and her husband probably live as
happily as the average married
couple, and that she expects they
will go down the years together
till death breaks their bond.
But" she says, eff l were a
young woman and knew as much
as know now | would not marry
my husband again."
Then she tells why she would
not.
Condensed, here are the -reas-
ons. Read them, We married
men, and we who will some day
take wives:
Because her husband did not
manifest affection for her after
their marriage, but let her take
it for granted.
Because, instead of waiting up
on her in little household matters,
he allowed and expected her to
wait upon him.
Because he make her ask him
for every nickel she gets to
spend, and account afterward for
what she had done with it.
Because he was less polite and
less courteous to her than to
other women of his acquaintance.
: Because he often shut her up"
when she wanted to talk with
him, by taking no interest in
what she said, or by mumbling
at her from behind a newspaper.
Because he smoked to excess,
filling the house with the stale
oder of bad tobacco.
Because he never compliment
ed her on her dress, her cooking
or housekeeping.
"OhY you may say, Mr.. Hus-
band, no wonder she wouldn' t
marry again. He's a pup!"
No, he's not. He's just an ordi-
nary, selfish, self-satisfied hus-
band, perfectly ignorant of the
bngings and the needs of a
woman's soul, and miserably I'M
aware of his ignorance.
How about you, who think him
a pup? Now answer!
Do YOU even give your wife
more than one kiss at time? Do
you make love to her as you did
when you were winning her? Or
do you think it would be silly?
Do you frequently tell her how
pretty she looks, how we'll some

you are at liberty to Craze your cattle

cattle owner, would be compelled to
keep your cattle in an enclosure,
which would remove the temptation
OF burning the woods of your neigh
boris, besides being ofinfinite benefit
to poor people In starting little farms.
In many instances the fencing of the
land is by all odd3the largest item of
expense in starting small farm, and
often puts it beyond the reach of poor
men who might otherwise make a
little start toward farming.
The bnrning ofthe grass not only
kills millions of small pine trees, but
it impoverishes the soil and exposes
the ground to the heat of the sun,
thereby retarding ehe growth of not
only small pine trees, but the large
ones as well. The thing that is neces-
sary to make the trees healthy and
vigorous goes up in smoke every

Fire Protection For Florida Forests

\ Washington letter says: In many
parts of the country the most pro-
gressive men of the lumber industry
have felt the greatest necessity of
adopting better methods OfprOtecting
their timber holdings from fire, but
in some places there still remains
much to be done. This is particularly
true through great part of the
yellow pine belt of the south, upon
which the naval stores industry of
the world is largely dependent. y
timber owner of Florida, in writing
to the Forest Service at Washington,
talks of the matter as follows:
speaking of fire protection: There
is absolutely nothing being done.
The turpentine people, to protect
their timber, rake around the trees
during early winter, and then burn
the woods. This is done to keep off
the forest fires of early spring. These
fires are supposed to be set by the
cattle interests, for the purpose of
burning off the dry grass, so that the
voung grass will come up, on which
tho cattle feed. In doing this, they
DESTROY millions of young pines that
have lust started to grow and are too
small and tender to stand the heat of
the fire.
.If these fires could be stopped, it
would solve the problem of reforest-
;,c &c far as Florida is concerned.
7 have thought for long time that
no-fence law would go far toward
stopping the burning of these.woods.

lnlO.rtS.

The September number of the CroL
Reporter, the Government official
publication, gives the imports of farm
and forest products for the year end
ing June 3Oth, 1908, also in com
parison, with those of the year end
ing June 30th, 1907.
All the facts and figures are ex-
tremely interesting, but the PILOT
would call the attention of its readers
to but a few items therein, that may
convey a lesson TO our West Florida
and Lower South farmers.
In the matter of goat skins impor-
tations to the value of S17, 1925, 126, ,0O
were made for the year ending June
3Oth, 1908, as against values in the
preceding year of s31 ,715, ,298,OO. The
figures show heavy decrease, but
with the opportunities to successfully
grow goats in this section it would
seem as though the imports might be
still further reduced by greater home
production.
Over S14 900, 90 worth of cotton
was imported this past year against
upwards of S19, 900, 900, 90 the previous
year. Over S30, 600, ZOO, 90 in value of
fibre material was imported this past
year. Florida could possibly have
furnished quite a little of his much
called for product.
There was over 81 5000, 900, 90 ofrice
imported the past year, an increase
over the year before. Rice can be
successfully grown in the territory
spoken Of. Tobacco comes in for
nearly % millions in value imported
this last year as against 26 millions
the previous year. And West Florida
can and does produce successfully
some of the finest tobacco in the
world.
Nearly five millions worth of pulp
wood was imported this last year as
against about 3 million the year be-
fore, and over I millions worth OF
pulp against little over millions
the previous year. There is ar
abundance of first class material for
pulp in the swamp sections of West
Florida, and it is its manufaC ture
offers one of the best paying PROPOSE
tions there is in the country. In fact
the above figures show that there is
a most excellent market for quite a
variety of the products of this portion
of the Lower South.

are seemingly very anxious about the
controversy going on in this District
over the result of the Primary Elec-
ton as regards Representative, fear
ing that unless it is all stopped
quickly the District and the State

AS far as this District is concerned
there need be no loss of sleep as to
the result. 1t is Democratic to the
core and will 50 show up in the re
turns. And the State will do the
same. But to strengthen Democratic
principles, and government, the

determination by the Supreme Court

PANAMA CITY. FLA, SEPT. "a. 1908
Car Distribution.

There is much ado over q decision
in the United States circuit court, at
Baltimore recently, to the effect that
railways in making a distribution of
coal cars should distribute private
line cars to all intents and purposes
the same as their own were used.
On many roads mining companys
own their own cars. That is up to
the hour of this decision they sup
posed they owned them. These COM
panys have gone to heavy expense
to buy cars that they might have a
sufficient supply at all times for their
output.
This much heralded decision, if
correctly reported, denies the prop
erty rights of the owners in these
cars, and demands that the railway
company upon whose lines they ere
running shall give them to other coal
operators in making their distribution
of all cars on their lines, regardless
of ownership.
Just what peculiar legal ethics
caused this unique decision is one of
the unexplainable things in the ac-
tions of our judiciary. Possibly they
are tinctured with that Socialism that
declares all property common.
To layman it would look like con-
fiscation of property, taking it without
due process of law. If the roads must
distribute private coal cars upon re-
QUESTIONS from every one, regardless
of Ownership of the cars, why will
not the same principle apply to the
great refrigerator lines and to the
Standard Oil Companys tank cars?
The primal doctrine that railroads
are public highways upon which any
one could have their own cars moved,
appears to have been changed to the
opposite extreme, that no private
cars can be used in the interest of
private owners on any railroad.
