the project: the board of revenue Of
Escambia county, Florida, will not, or
has not, made an appropriation to help
the Pensacola merchants TO pay for
things, because a few sand farmers
between the bay and Pensacola say
they would not be able to compete
with Baldwin county prices because
they have to use SO much fertilizer to
get crop. Protecting these few farm
ers is making the cost OF living in
Pensacola what it is today.
But in spite of Mobile being asleep
on the job and Escambia county,
Florida, politics, lower Baldwin county
Is going steadily ahead, shipping train
load after train load Of all sorts of
farm produce and banking by mail
Here too the banks in Pensacola and
Mobile are losing business, this bank,
ing by mail system; some day they are
going to wake up, after one of the
Baldwin county towns is too far grown
to be headed, and they will realize how
many hundreds of thousands of good
dollars they have allowed to slip
through their fingers. Already nearly
5000 acres are under cultivation below
railroad accommodation, the principal
crop is potatoes, 100 bushels to the
acre and a dollar a bushel. 5000, 900
annually that Pensacola and Mobile do
not get a smell at just because one
will not run a steamer and the other
won't build a bridge. This is only the
market price of the potato crop alone
and does not touch market gardening,
chickens, butter, eggs, fruit and the
hundred and one other things that are
produced here.
One of the best examples OF what
the German-American farmers are
doing near liberia is the farm of Her
mann koehler. He moved here from
Nebraska two years ago and has sew
eral hundred acres under cultivation,
studded with pecans. plums, oranges,
lemons, grapes and every fruit that
grows in the south. Principally he
raises Irish potatoes, corn fifty
bushels to the acre. alfalfa and stock
food.
There are no new theory" methods
being worked with in Baldwin county
The old styles are getting all the re-
turns the farmers ask, and they are
all happy except a few men who have
come here and tried to buy and farm
forty acres with $50 or $50 Some OF
these, however, are getting started,
but the prosperity is mainly among
those who had enough to tide over the
first year.
Simple, oId-time methods are being
used with everything and results are
being gotten that promise to make
south Baldwin county the richest in
the state.-From Foley (AIa) On

very best beauty aid in all the whole

very best beauty aid in all the whole
wide world,
Such a woman is magnetic and
charming and you know she is good!
She isn't likely to take the stump in
political wrangles nor make SherseIr
otherwise conspicuous and objection
able in public. In fact, she is next to
the noblest work of Coda lovable
womanly woman, loved for herself
alone!
Hcw's This?
There is probably time in the life
of most every woman, however, when
she wildly imagines she's finally met
made-to-order sort of soul mate or a
beautiful pale hued spiritual affinity
in other words, just a plain ordinary
man who has somehow made a head
on collision into her various affections.
Most any woman can marry most
any man-but the trouble is, she some
times wastes a lot of spare energy and
enthusiasm before she finally lights on
the right one.
The rough part of it is, too, a VIC
man has to be such an internal hypo-
critic through it all, and do such lot
of monkaying that she doesn't mean,
If she becomes abundantly enthus-
iastic, the man naturally shies-(now
doesn't hep
Being a frank, honest sort of spe-
cies, if she's impulsive she'll perish to
"show her hand, which, once shown,
means that the game" is more or less
certainly up
1t takes a lot OF bumps too, for the
average woman to discover that the
average man needs to be used after
the nature of the average saffron-hued
canine before he'll sit up and take any
good straight notice-and if she's wild
and impulsive and natural and honest
about it, how in the world is she TO
successfully play it out?
She generally doesn't.
She sometimes marries the other
man who is so uninteresting as to
make this play of ignoring him and
his intentions and so on possible
even for a woman!
Haven't you seen it over and over
again?
And if you're a woman, again,
hasn't it finally gotten next to you that
the average man of today wants to
fuss some himself, instead of being
everlastingly fused over?

Oh, this business of being a woman!
Being a Woman.

Oh, this business of being a woman!
Being a Woman.
Just being a woman is a fearfully
interesting and many-sided question at
ter all-and a woman ought to be SO
many, many things that are truly
worth while and in keeping with the
great responsibility which has been
placed with her!
She ought not to pose, particularly,
as outrageously sensible-a decided
do-or-die sort of female, you know,
with her wisps done up in a doughnut
effect in the back and stiff, horrible
collars and basques and things-but
on the other hand she must, in this
twentieth century, where hystericaI
women are irrevocably barred, have
sense enough and judgment enough to
meet situations and conditions in a
cool sweet womanly way, and with in
finite dignity, too.
She ought to feel, after all, that no
matter whatever sphere she has en-
tered into, she owes It to herself and
TO surroundings to do her level best
first, last, and at ali times in all
things-and TO accept conditions as
they come-indep cndently, and with
the coolest, cleanest Judgment pos
sible.
And then?
There would probably be more real
successes il strong. beatty wives and
I4otherG and successful women of the
World-with less of these smashed up
nervous systems and smashed up
homes and careers.
Just being woman?
Isn't it, after all. rather great and
splendid and interesting and fearfully
risky, too, when you think it all over?
BUT it's tremendously worth while,

GERMAN COLONY

ADVERTISER INCL
DENTALLY SHOWS THAT MO-
BILE AND PENSACOLA ARE
BALDWIN TRADE FOR THIS
CITY.

After giving a brief history Of Ger
man settlement at liberia in the
Montgomery Advertiser of February 3,
Gordon Mckinley winds up with the
following pertinent resume:
The immigrants, some of them new
ly landed and others who have been
in America in the northern states for
years, have made Baldwin county
blossom, changed it from wilderness
to one of the most profitable and up
to-date farming sections Of the world.
A business is developing hereabouts
in farm products that will be the max
ing of Mobile or Pensacola. Which
remains to be seen.
Pensacola is logically the Baldwin
county trading and marketing town
for it is not half as far away as Mo
bile, but from the looks of things it
seems Mobile is to be the lucky town.
A ferry line from Mobile to Battle s
Wharf, Point Clear, Daphne or any OF
the east bay shore OF Mobile harbor
ports will draw the trade of the new
agricultural SECTION, the line may only
break even at first, but its presence
will mean a twice as rapid develop
ment for the county and a business
that will annually amount to several
hundreds Of thousands of dollars.
Pensacola could secure and keep
Baldwin county business by throwing
a $4,000 draw-bridge across Perdido
Bay from Cummings Point to Lillian.
A short road from the bridge to the
Millview road would throw the whole
of this business into the West Florida
metropolis. The Baldwin county far
mers have already built their road as
far as Lillian. But one thing stops

sometimes, don't you see, is a mighty
serious, slippery business through and
through-with responsibilities which
may only be COPIED with by an infinite

Ever been woman?
Yes?
No?
Well, if you are, you probably know,
and if you aren't and aren't likely to
be, then you're out of this class.
So sit down!

And So On.
Most women, unfortunately, know
that plain ordinary horse sense in the
Internal feminine doesn't usually go
down, particularly with the festive
male creation known as mere man.
So the really clever kitten hides her
brains and her claws under the pro-
verbal basket, and wisely asks fool
questions that she probably knows
more about in a minute than her
knowing informant will dream about
in year or so. Then instead of CIV
ing her complexion the surprise of its
promising young life by getting to bed
decently early and being one Of the
nice little transformations domestic
creatures that our sane sensible de-
lightful grandmothers were in the
equally sane sweet days that used to
be, this particular female of ours vies
with the rampant midnight oil and its
well known properties and attributes
and spends long valuable hours in en-
PERTAINING probably this same man,
who as a possible reward will pass up
her lovely companionship when the
hatchet-faced effect and the lines and
the wrinkles come as result,
There are, in fact, infinitely too
many of these awfully Good Fellows
among the girls nowadays-girls who
are prone to pals, (pals an ugly
word) and who lose the one strong
sweet charm of healthy and beautiful
womanhood, which is-mere woman
illness!
Most women want to be pretty: they
should remember that lots of good hot
scrubbings and pure sweet air and
sound sleep will help some: that the
mind is sharpened and frightened by
constant use, and that a clear good
conscience and a downright fine feel

One of them bears most forcibly on

in the way it is meant to be taken.
Does the latter day woman, for in

mind and her spiritual side as well as
she used to do before we were all
struck full blast with various and sun
dry over-doses of civilization?
If she is to rear a family, as some
women sometimes do even yet, does
she make a study Of her needs and its
