miles to see and will constitute a bet
ter exhibit in itself than the average
fair.
Not only are the women of Pensa-
cola and Escambia county very enthu-
siastic over this department of the
Pensacola Interstate Fair, but inquiries
as to entries, etc, are being received
from all over the state and even from
other states.
This department includes the work
of the children and many premiums
are offered for articles made by chill
dren as we'll as women, so that among
the exhibits in the Woman's Building
will be found almost everything that
can be made by Industrious woman
and ingenious youth.
The merchants and business people
of Pensacola have shown that they
appreciate the woman's department
and consider 1t one Of the most i'm
portant features Of the entire fair by
voluntarily offering q large number of
special premiums in the department,
and by otherwise encouraging Miss
Caldwell in making this the best fair
ever held in Florida, so fer as the
woman's department is concerned.
Another indication that business
people consider the womans depart
ment one of the best features of the
fair is that almost every merchant or
business man who intends having a
trade exhibit on the fair grounds
makes an effort to secure a booth in
the Woman's Building.
Although it was not mentioned until
couple of weeks before the opening
of the fair last year, undoubtedly the
biggest success of the entire fair was
the baby show. which was held on
Friday of the fair week, one of the
judges being Florida's bachelor gov
ernor.
The women who had charge of this
feature last year were much elated
over the unqualified and unquestioned
success of the undertaking and it was
decided to make this a regular feature
of the Pensacola Interstate Fair.
The management is already receiv-

crop is good.
A marmalade is a semi-liquid pre-
serve, made by boiling thick rind
fruits with portions of their rinds;
the name Is properly applied to
orange, lemon and citron. Conserve
when the rinds are cut in bits; the
white lining removed and then cooked
with the fruit and syrup.
Ounce 'ma-malade" should be
called preserve, but it tastes mighty
fine by any name, so if you are so
lucky this year as to have a few
ounces don't fail to make little OF
this delicious spread.
Wash the ounces and peel thinly
save the peel and the cores and the
seeds. Cut the rich flesh into strips
or small cubes or sections. and sim
mer gently in just enough water tc
cover, until almost tender. Skim the
fruit out carefully from the liquid
fruit. Boil the sugar and liquid fiji
teen minutes, then return the ounces
to the mixture, and simmer five min
utes more. If you do not think the

tory by itself add a little candieC
ginger or a few drops of lemon.

glass molds and seal first with para

THE REASON WHY,

A young man employed in g E'A.Rfox
street store and a man who has an
office in the Blount building had a big
argument as to whether or not one
should remove the hat in an elevator
in which there are ladies. The gen
tleman from the store maintained that
one should wear it, the gentleman from
the Blount building decidedly \averred
that one should not. Later the argu-
ment eliminated in a bet. by the terms
of which the loser should accede to
the others views and both should re-
move their hats or keep them fast on,
according to the determination of the
bet. Luck was in favor Of the stick
ing hat" and much against his will the
Blount building tenant rode elevators
filed with lady passengers while his
hat remained on top.
He entered an elevator in which
there were three or four of his ferni-
nine acquaintances and either they
actually looked at him as if he were
a wild animal or he thought they did.
He began to turn red and then purple.
This was the first time in his life he
had ever done such a thing and it was
punishment. But he kept his bet
and, chagrined and crestfallen, hur-
ried away as soon SIS the elevator
touched ground.
However, he never intended to suf-
fer so much concentrated torture If he

THE TUMBLE TOWN FISHERMAN.

BY Celia Myrover Robinson.
There was an old man of Tumble
Town.
a fisherman, he, of great renown:
One day beside a ripping brook
he sat and cast his fishing hook:
instead OF whale, he caught a cod
This fisherman so brave and bold.
Then through the town he went:
'Kerchoo!y
Kerchoo! Kerchoo. All, me and you.
COR you and ID know how it seems
TO catch coldl But in our dreams
We never caught so bad cold
AS this caught by the fisher bold.
He sneezed so hard the people few

They called to him: Hey fisher.
Hey.
What have you caught. this summer
He only answered with a sneeze:
Twas like mighty, rushing breeze.
And, To- the houses tumbled down,
In this old place of Tumble Town.
He sneezed so hard, the great town

Lost both its face and hands. The
cock
Upon the weather vane fell off
And cried: why do you sneeze and

He answered "Cockadoodledoo
'Kerchoo! Kerchoo. Kerchoo. Ker-

He woke the King of Tumble Town.
Who cried: why is this silly clown
Who walks about my village streets
And cries to every one he meets:

up of accounts and with nerves I'M
strung with the ceaseless effort to live
decently and yet keep out of debt de-
cided that home in the country was
the only way out of her difficulty, and,
to make long story short she select
ed Florida as her future home.
Knowing nothing of Florida soil and
thinking that all soils were alike fertile
in Florida, she filed a calm on 160
acres of beach land in West Florida.
To her surprise and chagrin she was
told that 'nothin' would grow on that
there sand cause 1t s mighty thirsty
land, never gifts enough. water runs
through it like a sieve and fertilizer
goes with the water
1T may not produce great crops, but
can live on it rent free, have plenty
of good, cold water by merely driving
we'll. and if such trees and under
brush grow so well there must be
something to feed the plant life in
that sand" she said.
Then she went to work on her
scrub patch to draw checks on her
sand bank her friends mockingly told
her.
/ The first two years We're so filled
with work and cares aside from the
homestead that very little clearing and
cultivating was attempted but six
years ago work was started, tract
was fenced in with good wire fencing,
an orchard of plums, peaches and
pears for main crop was planted: SOUP
pernongs planted and arbors built, gar
den beds were planted and it began to
look like home.
AS time passed pecans and japanese
walnuts, ounce and Japanese persin1
mons, California grapes and tropical
fruits of various kinds were planted.
The third year after planting the
trees bore a small amount Of fruit and
this year the homesteader has had all
the fruit her family could use. She
has sold plums, pears and peaches and
has filled the fruit closet with fruit
from her own place. Most of the
peaches were grown from seed and
some of those seedlings were as large
and fine as the budded fruit in her
orchard, and she has something fresh
from the garden every day in the year
Flowers of many kinds are grown tc
perfection. the finest of hot house
roses are grown out of doors, even the
famous tender Killarney grows to per-
lection there, and all this on the "bar-
rem, thirsty beach landl
OF course many of the fruits planted
are In the experimental stage. but
enough has been grown to prove thai
the land that has always been consid
cred worthless in Florida will produce
abundantly if cultivated intelligently
Strawberry beds have yielded well
the berries large and of fine flavor
The Logan berry, a cross between
blackberry and raspberry, one OF
| Burbanks creations, is growing luxu
riantly as is also the California black
berry.
| Various kinds of grapes are in the
experimental stage, a few bunches
from each this year but not enougt
to know which kind will succeed best
Enough however has been done tC
demonstrates that even the so called
worthless beach land in West Florida
can be made fertile garden.

INTEREST IN WOMAN'S

Miss Caldwell is planning a number

as usual, the Woman's Building will
be one of the most attractive and pop
