Every One Should
Vote For the Change.

The Journal yesterday printed a
news item on the proposed change in
the system of collecting dues by the
chamber of Commerce.
Every member should vote for the
amendment.
1t means that with the present
revenues the Chamber of Commerce
would be in funds at the end of every
month to pay all claims against it

on the first OF the succeeding month.
and collections dragging through the
month. either the secretary or the
outside creditors has had 10 wait
and for the past year or so it has
usually been the secretary. But that
IS not a material point. The real
point is that with adequate revenues
no one should have 10 wait.
Payment IN advance is the rule
with such institutions, and the pro-
posed change wound go into effect by
the collection in April of dues for
March and April. It viii not

Which Should it Be
PenSaColian or PenSaColan?

One of PensacOla's most enterpTis-
Eng and ObseTvant young business
men thinks that while Pensacola is
settling other important questions she
ought to give some consideration as
to whether the denizeu of the Deep
Water City should be known as a
PensacOIian or a Pensacolan.
The newspapers and the public
generally have usually used the :erm,
Pensacolian. This young business
man, who has somewhat of a dis
eliminating taste in such things,
thinks the term should be Pensa-
colan-the last syllable being IAN"
instead Of ian"
The Journal is frank to admit that
this question is worthy Of discussion
and it therefore invites short COM
municatiOns on the subject The
communications should be brief and
TO the point, and every correspond
ent should give his reason for his be-
lief
The Journals reauers proposed a
name for the new hotel which was
finally adopted, and it sees no reason
Why its readers should not now settle
the question of whether they want to
be PensacOlians or Pensacolans. Let
lis hear from them.

strength and muscle, and your bad
breath and coated tongue will be
thing Of the past.

THE VALUE OF
THE PEKIN DUCK.


Warrington, Fla, March 4, 1909.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
1t is evident to my mind that the
people Of West Florida know very
little about the Pekin duck so I en-
close an instructive article for pub
licauOn- calculated to awaken an in
terest in the raising of pekin Lucks
which may prove profitable to the
advertising medium as well as to the
people and breeder. 1t is as follows:
Pekin Ducks.
There seems to be little generally
known in West Florida about the pc
kin duck. They are a large beauti-
tul white bird, some of the largest
strains weighing from to 10 pounds
when fully matUred and fattened for
market. Unlike other breeds of ducks
the pekin may be raised in a yard
without access to a running stream
or pond of water and are raised in
large numbers with only a drinking
trough.
Quoting from the Farmers Bulletin
No 81, L. s. department Of agricuI-
ture, Washington, d. c. on the rails
ing and management of ducks and
geese by Geo. Z. Howard, he says.
OF all ducks for farm and practi-
cal purposes none stands higher in
popular esteem than the White Pc
kin 8 and is the most easily
raised of all. 1t is q timid bird and
must be handled quite carefully.
> Their flesh is very delicate
and free from grossness, and they are
considered among the best table
fowls. They are excellent layers.

season"
They would be less trouble in a
back yard of city lots than hens for
q twO-fOOt fence will keep them in
They do not eat every green thing in
sight as do geese. while their feath-
eTS are just as fine. Nor are they
so much more trouble to prepare for
the table than other fowls if YOU
know how. After removing the
feathers you wish to save (any black
will save you that trouble
for the feathersD the duck should be
scalded the same as other fowls when
the pen-feathers may be easily re-
moved and down rubbed off.
They may be fed on scraps from
the table miEed with bran and per
cent OF coarse sand. with ground or
pounded oyster shell always before
them and water always in the trough. |
Some green food should also be sup
piled, trimmings of vegetables ground
in the family meat grinder may be
utilized in this way Sprouted oats
may be kept on hand for this pur-
pose. Bran should form the bulk OF
their food, two parts with one part
corn meal for growing or fattening
ducks. Fine sand Will do but coarse |
sand is better, and should be mixed |
in the feed of duCklings. The bulIe- |
tin above mentioned may be had for !
the asking.

ness by its consideration OF the valor
of the conquered.
The little paragraph telling of the
opening of bids for the erection at Al
ton and indianapolis of monuments to
the memory OF the Confederate dead
buried there is a significant one. II
is worthy of more than passing at
tentiOn that the United States war de
paTtment should spend $4,000 for
two such monuments. The incident
recalls prophecy. THE mystic
chords of memory. stretching from
every BATTLEFIELD and patriot grave TO
every living heart and hearthsone all

the chorus of the union. when again
touched, as surely they will be, by

An Answer That

Editor KeIlow, of the Fort Myers
News, gathered a wrong impression
from a recent UtteTance of The Jour
nal. There was no intention to class
him with heretics. Furthermore We
will not dispute his assertion that
the CaIOosahatchee is one Of the
biggest. grandest, most beautiful and
useful rivers in the United States"
The only point We intended to i'm
press upon him was that he must be
slow TO blame Congressman Spark
man or any Florida representative
for having failed to get an apprOpri-
alton for the improvement of that
river. He must realize that the i'm
mense expenditures Of money re-
quired by our imperialistic friends at
Washington for expansion, bluff and
buster leaves nothing for trifing
matter like developing the resources
OF the United States.

that there were many folks from the

warmed up to the theories concerning

Among the schemes prepared to ad,
