Mr.. CRAWFORD SUGGESTS
THAT "UNCLE JOE"
WRITE "REMINISCENCES.

Mr.. w. B. Crawford and his charm
ing young wife, who was Miss Aenid
Barlow of this city, have a host of
friends in Pensacola, whose good
wishes go with them wherever they
may be. They are making their home
in Kissimmee, where Mr.. Crawford is
partner in the firm Of Vans Agnew
& Crawford, attorneys at law, and
Province Commander for Florida, Ala
bama and Georgia of the Kappa Alpha
Fraternity.
Mr.. Crawford is an enthusiastic
member of the Fourth Estate, and al
ways interested in its members. es-
pecial1y in Florida, where for years
he was one of the youngest and most
brilliant writer's in the state, being
editor of the Pensacola Evening News.
Among other things, Mr.. Crawford
says: IT have Just read your article
on Uncle Joe Dixon and o. Henry. I
think Uncle Joe Dixon one of the most
unique and most lovable characters in
Florida journalism, and 1 wish we
could induce him to write his remin-
iscences of other days. I am sure it
would prove most interesting to the
public"
Mr. Crawford is right. There are
few things that the public and press
would enjoy more than the story of
Mr. Dixon's varied experiences, told

EXPENSE OF LIVING
VS.. ExTRAVAGANCE,

So much is heard of the expense of
living these days. But while this is
a fact that is incontrovertible one
seldom hears mention of the increase
in salaries. Yet it is a fact that with
the increase in expenses there has
also been an increase in the wage,
not always commensurate with the
increased expenses, perhaps, but this
is mainly due to the artihciality of
modern conditions.
Twenty years ago a salary of $50
per month was considered a fairly
good living wage even for a man of
family. Now that sum is looked
upon as almost starvation wages.
Many a man who is considered in
very moderate circumstances finds II
impossible to pay his living expenses
with less than $3.50 a month, and even
then half the time he finds himself In
debt.
But is this due to the increased liv-
ing expenses or to the increased ex-
travagances?
There seems to be prevalent in the
life of the family today a mad desire,
especially on the part Of the house
wife, to emulate, to initiate, to out
shine.
If her wealthiest neighbors have real
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1912-10-10

lace curtains, she must at least have
imitation. If her neighbors' children
study music, or German or French,
her own must be denied much that is
requisite to their physical and moral
welfare that they, too, may cultivate
the aesthetic.
If her neighbor is a member Of a
bridge club with expensive prizes,
she, at least, must become a member
of euchre club, with weekly dues
and obligations of entertainment.
And SO it goes. A continual striv-
ing after the false, the immaterial,
the worthless always paying for
these counterfeits in good coin of
the realm.
It is little wonder, when all about
us is seen this mad desire to out
shine to Guido, to outdistance, that
in the train of this reckless race
after the spurious things of life. one
sees the wreck of homes, the ruin
of the most sacred relations in the
world-the life of the family.
1t is not the expenses Of life, 1t is
the extravagances, useless and harm
full, that are wrecking the American
home and running the lives of women
and men, and even little children.

NEWDRO'S HERPICIDE SAVES WORRY,
SAVES MONEY, SAVES THE HAIR

If you want to free your head OF
dandruff and stop falling hair, you
must sooner or later resort to New
bros Herpicide.
BY using Herpicide first you save
yourself worry, which is desirable
you save money, which is a consid-

is the most important of all.

-Four years residence in India

without benefit until I was induced to
use Herpicide. My hair is now long

FIRST BAPTIST SUNDAY
SCHOOL ENTERTAINS.

The teachers and workers of the
First Baptist Sunday School gave an
informal reception to the new officers
on Wednesday evening in the parlors
Of the church, and many were pres
ent, enjoying delightful evening.
The very informality added to the
pleasure of the guests. The pastor
had notified those present that they
were expected in business dress, and
many who otherwise might not have
been able to attend, went immedi-
ately from places of business to the
church parlors, where the evening was
delightfully."- spent, and refreshments
were served before the departure of
the guests.
