Hampshire agriculture Tie told how
the total value OF farm lands and
farm crops had risen within the dec
ade. although the acreage devoted TO
the various farm crops had slumped
from 8 to % per cent. the farm pop
ulation had lost about 5000 and 1G5
of the 225 towns OF the state had
shown no gain. The encouraging ele-
ment i'm the statistics he presented
was that this decreasing farm popula-
ton on less land had produced crops
of a relatively higher value than
those OF a decade ago.
The two needed factors in the in
crease Of New Hampshire's agricul-
tural prosperity are more money and
more intelligence. according to Mr.
Pattee.

from seed furnished by themselves.
Simple instructions for corn and po-
tato culture are sent to each club
member. In some towns the children
are required to bring in written re
ports of the summers work at the
opening Of school in the autumn.
The popularity Of this work is in

years it has spread from a few towns

Gated, to nearly 80 towns in all parts

A line Of experimental work with po-
tatoes which was begun few years
ago will be more fully developed. This
Is designed especially for pupils In the
upper grades Of the grammar school

DIAPEPSIN.

The question as to how long you are
going to continue sufferer from Indt-
gestion. Dyspepsia or out order
Stomach is merely q matter of how
soon you begin taking some Diapepsin.
If your Stomach is lacking in diges-
tive power, why not help the stonlac CHI
to do its work, not with drastic drugs,
but a reinforcement of digestive
agents, such as are naturally at work
in the stomach.
People with weak Stomachs should
take little Diapepsin occasionally.
and there Will be no more Indigestion,
no feeling like lump of lead in the
stomach, no heartburn, Sour risings,
Gas on Stomach or Belching of undi-
gested food. Heada ches, Dizziness or
Sick Stomach, and, besides, what you
eat will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseous odors. All these
symptoms resulting from y sour. out
of-order stomach and dyspepsia are
generally relieved in five minutes after
taking a little Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get a So
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now. and
you will always go to the table with a
hearty appetite, and what you eat will
taste good, because your stomach and
intestines will be clean and fresh, and
you will know there are not going to be
any more bad nights and miserable
days for you. They freshen you and
make you feel like life is worth living.

The Most
Important Offices.

When you stop to consider the two
most important offices which must be
filled by the voters of the state of
Florida in the primaries next year you
cannot help but realize that they are
men who are elected without the
voters paying any especial attention
as to whether the candidates are well
qualified to fill them or not.
The governor of the state is an i'm
portant official, but he plays a minor
part in comparison to the legislator.
The comptroller of the state handles
business of vital Importance to the
people, but his duties are not as i'm
portant to the voters of county as
the Office of county commissioner.
When the elections approach we
begin to think of the probable success
sor to the governor and the candidates
for other high offices, but the import
ance of sending the right men to both
branches of the legislature occupies
little thought in the minds OF the
average voter.
Men are elected to the office of
county commissioner just because they
happen to be popular with the voters.
In making this statement The Jour
nal does not have any county in mind
but the boards Of county commits
sioners throughout the state and the
representatives and senators from the
various counties in the majority of
cases are not composed of the men
best qualified to fill these most i'm
portant positions.
Because a man is honest and wants
to do his, people some good does not
qualify him as a representative of the
people, although no man should be
elected to Office who is not honest. But
there are men in every county, in
every community, who are honest and
who will make good county commits
sioners and good law makers.
These kind of men ought to be
forced to make the races for office. II
is their duty to serve the people.
When the next legislature convenes
it must decide ten or twelve very i'm
portant questions. The proper hand
ling Of these questions will mean q
great deal to the moral, intellectual
and financial welfare Of the Florida
people. and before support is promised
to 8 candidate for representative OF
senator he should be made to publicly
state his position on certain questions
II a representative is sent to tbs
legislature without the people knowing
how he stands on vital questions the
people have no right to complain if ht
votes contrary to their wishes.
The boards of county commissioner
and the legislature of the state are tbs
most important offices the people have
TO fill and men of integrity and ability
should serve the people in these places

Working For
Peusacola's Good.

Last night the Pensacola Young
Mems Christian Association celebrated
the sixth anniversary OF the opening
of the new building. 1t was a cele-
bration Of which the members of the
association had right to be proud,
for during the six years of the asso-
cations life it has accomplished for
Pensacola work that cannot be esti-
mated in dollars and cents.
It has helped to make the boys and
young men of this city morally and
physically better. which good will be
manifest for years and years to come.
Being non-sectarian the 7. M. c. A.
does a work that no other organiza-
tion can do. It's teachings are not
contrary to the beliefs and creeds of
any people and the boys of the city,
the rich and poor, the Protestant the
Catholic and the Jew meet upon one
common level and grow up to make
one democratic and united people
The Y. NJ. C. A. not alone helps the
boys Of the parents of this city. but it
is reaching out for the motherless boy
who chances to come this way. and it
has been within the province of the
Pensacola association to put several of
this class on a road to better things
and to look at life from a different
standpoint. Can acts of this kind be
measured from the standpoint of dol
lars?
The Journal is informed that the Y.
NJ. c. A. of Pensacola. is doing far bet
ter work than many similar organiza-
lions. OF this we are glad. The wea
son for 1t, however, must necessarily
