Big Flax. Crop
Seems Assured
Farmers and Bankers Say Last
Years Losses VIII be
Retrieved

"There are 999 chances out of
900 that North Dakota will have
a big fax crop this year to one
that it will not" declared Henry
Erickson, Of Towner. Nd, presi-
dent of half a dozen North Da-
kota banks and farmer of 1000
acres of prairie.
"The fax generally is up from
one to three inches, the ground
is in perfect condition for it's
growth and nothing could pos
sible happen now with the good
start it has to prevent a great crop.
"The color of the fax is perfect
and it looks as if the fax raisers
of the state were going to more
than retrieve their losses of last
year on this coming crop. Last
year I farmed 1000 acres and lost
money, but this year I feel sure of
much more than getting my losses
back.
1.-THE ground might stand little
more rain, but it is not in distress
at all, in fact the only chance tc
have the conditions all around any
better would be for the farmers
themselves to have personal con
troll of the rainfall, sunshine and
temperature"

RESOLUTIONS
ON THE DEATH
Of ]. NJ. BRYAN
GOVERNOR AND ADMINIsTRA-
TIVE OFFICERS ADOPT REso-
LUTIoNs WHICH ARE ORDERED
SPREAD UPON RECORDS OF
EXECUTIVE OFFICE.
Special to the Journal.

Tallahassee, Aug. 16.-At a meeting
of the Governor and the Administra-
tive Officers of the Executive Depart
metn of the State of Florida, held in
the Executive Office, Tuesday, August
18th, 1911, the death Of the Honorable
John Milton Bryan, on the 14th day of
August, 1911, was announced: where
upon the following resolution was
unanimously adopted and ordered to
be spread upon the records of the Ex-
ecutive Office.
John Milton Bryan, was a native
Of this state and was one of her oldest
and most distinguished citizens.
Throughout a long and active life, he
was a conspicuous factor in the indus
trial development of Florida and the
intellectual advancement of her people.
He was a pioneer in the development
of Southern Florida and one Of the
most active agents in attra citing wide
attention TO that wonderful region.
Mr.. Bryan was an unusually re-
sourceful man, minded, large
hearted and devoted TO the interest
of his friends and his state. Always a
public spirited citizen, he was for
many years prominent in political life
and formerly served with marked abil-
ity in the Legislature and as a mem
Der Of the Florida Railroad Commits
sion. He had the rare distinction Of
seeing two Of his sons, the late Honor
able William James Bryan and the
Honorable Nathan P. Bryan, serve as
members Of the United States Senate
for Florida. The ability which marked
the sons reflected the strong and high
character which the father had sus-
tanned throughout his wellspent life.
In view Of Mr.. Bryan's honorable
! life and Of his extensive and valuable
services to the state, II is the sense
| OF the Administrative Offlcers of the
state that his death is a great public
| loss; and it is ordered. as a mark of
respect, to his memory, that the flag
at the State Capitol be displayed at
half mast for a period Of thirty days;
that all the officer at the Capitol be
closed at the time set for his funeral
cbsequies, and that an engrossed copy

nection with a fair will be here this
year. Lew Rose, who is an old and
experienced man in the show business,
has charge Of this feature of the fair
and he is receiving many requests for
concessions. Being as familiar az he Is
with the amusement companies
throughout the country, he is in posi-
ton to select only the best, and he
assures the management that the mid
way this year will be strictly first
class, moral and clean in every way.
Woman's Department..
Although it is unusually early for
that department to become much in
terested, a great deal of interest is be-
ing taken in the woman's department
by the ladies throughout the territory
included IN the fair district, and the
present prospects are that this fea-
ture of the fair will also surpass any
previous fair held here.
To Start Bill Posting.
It is the intention Of the manager to
start a crew out with the lithograph
work about the list of September. A
large shipment has already been re-
ceived and will thoroughly distributed
throughout the fair district, so that the
fair will be more extensively adver-
tised than ever before

LOVE OF BEAUTY AND
ITS TEMPTATIONS,


In its proper place the love of beau
tiful things uplifts and refines, but
when 1t Is allowed to grow until 1t
must be gratif1ed, no matter how dear
the price, it is a bad thing.
Beautiful things are lovely, but they
are not essential. We can all live
without them. OF what value are they
in the tragic moments Of our lives,
when sorrow grips us and works her
will upon us? Or what do they matter
when JOY has us by the hand? Moth
ing, absolutely nothing.
Then, is 1t not foolish to barter
things of value--love and congeniaIity,
sympathy and understanding - for
things that are inanimate and unfeel-
ing, no matter how beautiful?
Will a beautiful home, beautifully
furnished, without love, make as hap
by resting place as a less modest
home. where congeniality and love
wait for one?
The girl who Is mastered by her
desire to possess things of beauty,
whose nature Graves an environment
where she may have these things,
should stop and consider we'll before
she accepts them, If they come to her
under the guise of a loveless mar
riage.
A young girl recently confessed that
she accepted her husband because he
sent her such wonderful flowers, and
she had never in her life been able to
buy all the flowers she wanted.
She did not add what many of her
friends knew to be true, that his
florists bill was one Of several large
debts beneath whose shadow their
married life began and whose sinister
darkness had slowly spread until dis
aster doomed black before them.
Every girl whose life is laid by the
dull road OF poverty and whose
nature Graves the luxury Of beauty
should be given this word of warn
| ing:
Love beautiful things If you must
but never let them become a necessity
| to YOU" Some of the great spirits OF
the world have been reared in want
and an environment bereft of beauty
yet they have given beauty to the
world. There is no environment SO
hopeless but what the seeing eye and
the eager heart can wrest beauty OF
some sort from it.

Like Using Cream

Van Camps Milk as it comes to you is as thick
as thick cream. So thick that you add one part
water for coffee, cereals or ice cream. It is %
per cent solids, 8 per cent butter fat.
When you use it in cooking, or for making ice
cream, it gives richness and flavor irnrneasurabIy
better than one gets for miIkmans milk.
The reason is this: Milknan's milk separates.
The butter fat rises and the solids fall. When that
milk gets to the cooking it is rarely more than
half milk.
Van Camps is the whole milk It contains
all the butter fat, all the solids, which belong to

Six Cents Fer Quart

When Van Camps IS reduced to the usual
ni1k's richness the cost viii figure about six oents
per quart.
The main saving lies In getting rid Of the milk
mans daily delivery. That always costs more
than the milk.
Then you save all waste. You open q can Of
Van Camps when you want it, and 1t keeps till
you use it up. You never have too little or too
much. In the average home the use Of Van
Camps win cut milk bills in two.

Attended and participated in by
more than fifty couples of the elite Of
the city, the dance given by the Pen
sacola Yacht and Motor Boat Club at
their beautiful club house at the foot
of Alcaniz street last night proved to
be one Of the most brilliant and en-
joyable affairs Of the season, and It

which had been transformed into a
dance hall, was beautifully decorated
for the occasion, and the floor had

condition. so that the many graceful
couples gliding across the fiooor to the
strains of the splendid music, furnish
ed by Wyer's orchestra. presented a
pleasing picture. To add to the en-
joyment of the occasion, the weather
was ideal, fine breeze having sprung
up Just as the dance begun and adding
much to the comfort of the guests af-
ter the heat of the sultry day.
The grand march was led by Com
modore T. G. Watson and Miss Marga-
ret Hardin and was participated in by
q large number of couples Of all ages
that is all ages in years, for they
were all youthful in spirit last night.
but they were young last night and
enjoyed the evening, If possible, more
than the members of the younger set.
G After the grand march there were
nineteen Dances including a square
dance, waltzes and two-steps.
The feature of the evening was the
square dance, which was INDUCED in
by about twenty FIVE couples including
a number who did not dance the more

and when the square dance was turn
ed into a waltz he did not renig as a
number OF couples did, but waltzed the
dance out, to the amusement and en-
tertainment Of the crowd, being highly
congratulated and complimented at
: the conclusion of the waltz for the
graceful manner in which he executed
the dance.
During the intermission delightful
refreshments were served, consisting
of fruit punch, lemonade, cake and
other delicacies which were much en-
1oyed.
