Travellers Tales

They are telling a story on Mitch"
the fat barber, who used to work in
the shop where the Scandinavian bank
now does business.
Mitch is a great taIker, and he de-
lights in explaining different good points
of his various dogs. He had GUS
toner who wouldn't stand for a bit
of talking. He didn't like the voice
of Mitch, neither did he like the voice
of any barber, and whenever he was
being shaved and the barber, which
was generally Mitch, endeavored to
engage his in conversation he was told
to shut up and remain in that condi-
ton until the operation of shaving
was completed.
The customer died some months ago
and the undertaken sent for Mitch to
shave the face of the remains before
the funeral.
The undertaken was called to an
other room for some purpose, leaving
Mitch and the dead man alone in the
room, and the next minute he heard
one sided conversation going on in
the room with corpse. He could hear no

the door and there was Mitch with a
shaving brush in his hand, talking of
his dogs and waving his hand at a
great rate, with no one in the room at
all save the body.
1t was such an unusual proceeding
that the undertaken walked in and
said:
What in the name of heaven are
you doing? Who are you talking to?
Don't you know he's dead?'
"That don't make any difference to
me?'' responded Mitch. He'd never
let me talk to him when was shaw

What do we think of Beach?" they
said in chorus. why, there isn't a
town in the state can beat it for en-
terprise. Grow! Why you can see 1t
grow over night. The building boom
will commence early next spring and
keep on right through the summer I'M
til the cold weather sets in next fall"
Then Mr.. Broderick dropped out of
the conversation and Mr. Reed con-
| tinued: Really one can hardly ex-
plain about Beach. There isn't any
thing like it in the state. Everybody
| is talking and boosting for the town,
and You mind my guess in less than
two years we will be incorporated in

the early spring and the contractors
| have already begun to figure on the
same. You can say that Beach is all

of some people:

about the most calamitous economic
and financial ruin the world has ever

Other values, he says in The Satur-
day Evening Post rest upon substan-
liabilities, but gold has value only in
the imagination OF mankind. And he
wonders at the paradox which ordains
gold, metal useful only to gid pic

HUNDREDS ARE WASTED
Dollars Slip Away in the Form of
Quickly Spent Pennies and
Nickeis.

IL is a foregone conclusion that
without some definite and systematic
form of saving the accumulation of
funds is impossible to the one who
earns a salary. Hundreds of dollars
are wasted annually by men and wo-
men who could easily save if tied to
some reasonable plan.
The Northwestern Mutual Invest
ment Co. of Fargo offers the best
and safest way that has yet been de-
vised for systematic saving of large or
small sums. If a man has lump sim
to invest they have plan that fits his
case. If he wishes to lay aside u sma D.
sum monthly, quarterly or once year
they have an equitable plan that puts
him on the same plane as the large in
weston. Safety, Equity, Mutually,
three cardinal principles found in their
best form is the plan of the North
western Mutual Investment CO.

dollars Write a postal to the COM
pany at Fargo, they'll send you full

WOMEN FARM ERS.

Last week an interesting meeting of
the women farmers of North Dakota
was held in Fargo. Missouri had one
at the same time.
Instead of having to be shown" it
appears that Missourians are taking
the lead in exemplifying real pro-
gress.
In what other state is there farm
ers' society, the members of which are
exclusively women who own and per-
sonally operate farms?
Such an organization was formed at
the agricultural college of Missouri
last week--not one man being
permitted to raise his voice in the
meeting. The prime requisite for
membership is that the applicant must
be woman and an actual and prac-
teal farmer.
The association is named the Wom-
ans Farmers society of Missouri. 1t
starts off with some twenty eight MEM
bers--each one of whom can raise
crop of corn or wheat Or anything else
and harvest it, too, as well as any
man ever did. -.--,
A striking thing about the organiza-
ton is the number of young women
who took part in it's formation. more
than half the charter members being
Misses" The president and secre-
tary are unmarried women-while the
executive committee is made up of
those who have succumbed to the lure
of matrimony.
AS to the effect of farm life on girls,
lecturer before the women farmers
produced figures showing that not one
of the 800 inmates of the State Indus
trial school for Girls-a reformatory
institution-came direct from the farm
/ and that only three came direct from
small towns.
Health, happiness and a competency
await the woman farmer in this state
as well as in Missouri. Why is the
number not larger?

SECRETARY OF COMMERCIAL AS
ISOLATION HAS PLACED COPY
WITH PRINTER FOR AN ISSUE
OF 5,ooo-ANoTHER TO BE u.s.
SUED EARLY IN JULY.

G. A. Waterman, secretary OF the
Commercial Association, yesterday af
ternoon placed the copy with the
printer for 5000 pamphlets to be dis
tr1buted by the association, advertising
Pensacola and Escambia county. The
pamphlets contain statistics, figures,
salient facts, etc, showing the devel-
opments and the conditions generally
Of both the city and the county.
Mr.. Waterman stated to a Journal
representative yesterday afternoon that
his reason for not issuing more of the
pamphlets at the present time was that
he was waiting until the end of the
fiscal year, which is July 1st, when
more complete and comprehensive fig
ures will be obtainable. He intends at
that time to distribute several thou
sand pamphlets containing more in
formation than the present issue.

who traffic in tax titles trying to make
much out of nothing. But a few make
business out of tax deeds. Those
who do generally want their pound of
flesh" Unlike Shylock, they are I'M
willing to pay for it
Attention is invited to section 591 of
the general statutes of Florida:
When the purchaser of land at a
tax sale goes into actual possession of
such land, no suit for the recovery of
the possession thereof shall be brought
by the former owner or claimant. his
heirs or assigns, or his or their legal
representatives for the recovery of the
possession Of such land, unless such
suit be commenced within four years
after the purchaser at such tax sale
goes into possession of the land SO
bought"
In my opinion, even -four years" is
too short a time. If this time is to be
changed at ALL 1t should be changed to
seven years instead of to "one year"
Attention is invited to the closing
sentence of section 8, 'in all suits
wherein such order and publication
shall be made, the interests, rights and
views of all persons in, to and upon the
said real property shall be concluded
to the same extent as though they had
been named and served as parties de-
PENDANT in such suits"
Just consider that such proceedings
are brought under the rights derived
from a one years actual possession"
based on a tax title about ninety per
cent of which being Illegal. Consider
also the following quotation from sec
ton 4: THE decree shall determine
the title to the land absolutely, and
shall be an absolute bar against all
other persons"
The effect Of this bill would be to
beat many poor and worthy people out
of their property. 1t is absolutely I'M
fair and unjust.
