How Dixie Can Help.

A feature of the problem of the
cost Of living seldom considered
is the effect upon the national
food bill, shonld the South uni
versally adopt the plan of living
at home, so to speak.
The development of such a
process would mean that we
would cease calling upon the
West for our food and our beef
and pork.
That, in turn, would mean that
the supply from the West, itself,
and the East, and for export,
would be larger.
Results: With a greater vol
ume, of grain and meat products
to serve other sections of the
country, prices should be more
reasonable.
This not to mention the many
millions the South would save an
nually to itself as well as the sur
plus il could send North and East
10 ease the tension there.
There is no reason on earth
why there should not be a super
abundance Of corn in Florida, and
enough hogs and cattle to make
up the other end of the deal.

Let's everyone put our shout
ders to the wheel and boost for
Chipley and Washington county.
We have a good town and good
county, we know it and we want
the world to know it.
There is nothing that will make
a community grow like a boost.
You can tell the truth about your
town and county and it will grow.
Every man, woman and child
can help boost if they are built
out of the right material. All
knocking and no boosting will
soon put any community out of
business. Let's all get together
and be boosters.
The health of our town and
county is splendid. We have a
good citizenship. We have good
schools and churches. And our
soil is wonderfully productive.
In fact, you tickle our lands with
a pillow and it laughs a harvest.
Climate? We have as good as
any country in the world. The
winters are not too cold; neither
are the summers excessively hot.
The delightful guilt breezes are
balmy and tempers both the heat
and cold. Our rainfall is suffi-
cient, and failure of crops is
unknown.
Don't take our word for what
Chipley and Washington county
is. Come see for yourself. We
will be glad to see you and we
will show you what true hospi-
tally is like.
Let's all get aboard the booster
band wagon. If your heart is in
the right place, and Won are built
of the right kind of material
that is to say, If you are a public
spirited citizen of ChIplSy, orahy
other part OF Washington coua-
ty.-BoosTl
Do you know what has moved
Florida forward at the rapid
stride she has made IN the last
few years? It's boosting, and her
magnificent natural resources.
How can we expect our town
or county to reach it's zenith OF
growth and popularity unless we
boost and get people here to till
our lands and make population
The more population we have
the more business there will be,
and our lands will bring a better
price.
Population is wealth.
We have good town, we have a
good county; both are growing
steadily. They have been grow
ing steadily for several years,
but if we all boost. we will have a
better town and county-more
wealth and more population.
Get the boost habit It's one
habit that is good to have, and
good to stick to.

vernon Invites You.

Inasmuch as the County Com
missioners have called a mass
meeting to be held at the court
house in Vernon on the first Mon
day in August, 1911, to ascertain
the sentiment of the people in re-
gard to plans for building roads
in the county, and the people of
Vernon and vicinity seeing the
benefits to be derived from a sys-
tenn Of good roads covering the
entire county, and believing that
much good will result from said
mass meeting, if the people from
every section of the county will
attend, have undertaken to make
all necessary provision for the
comfort and entertainment of the
crowd on that occasion.
A barbecue will be prepared,
and people who are near enough
to drive from home are invited to
cooperate by bringing baskets
well filed with good things to eat.
Come, everybody and do not
be afraid of going away hungry.
Ice cold lemonade will be pro-
vided free to all.
An effort will be made to secure
a brass band for the occasion, and
several able speakers will be on
hand to instruct on the benefits
of improved-roads and how to get
them, but every one will have a
voice in the meeting.
For the further entertainment
of our visitors we have had placed
at our disposal a dozen or fifteen
automobiles, and free rides will
be given people from other sec
tons of the county on the hard
road.
Besides, program of amuse-
ment is being gotten up by our
business men which will include
pole climbing, bicycle races, sack
races, potato races, slow horse
races, foot races, and otherenents
which will appear in a complete
program that will be published
later.
Come.one, come all, and have
the time of your lite.

PAUPERIsM IN
LONDON DECREASES
Adoption of Old Age Pension System
Has Cut Down the Form
err List.

LONDON, Feb. 9Figures just made
public show there has been in London
a striking decrease in pauperism
since the adoption of the old-age pen
sion system two years ago.
Paupers are divided into two class.
Indoor" Inmates of infirmaries)
and '"outdoor Until recently a per
son in an infirmary was not
entitled to the old age pen
sion. This law has been changed
with the result that several hundred
infirmary inmates have Left the insti
tutions and are now drawing pensions
The decrease in pauperism has beer
chiefly in the Outdoor class. In 1901
47,42o Londoners received outdoor
relief: in 1910 only 32,495--a fallin:
off of 1926.
In 1908, in London, 81 persons on
