AGENT
IS GATHERING
FINE EXHIBIT
w. HARDY SAYS HE WILL
SHOW THE PEOPLE AT INTER.
STATE FAIR THIS YEAR THE
BEST COUNTY EXHIBIT THEY
EVER SAW.

When seen by representative of
The Journal yesterday afternoon, L..
w. Hardy, field agent of the Pensa-
cola Commercial Association, who has
charge of collecting the county exhibits
for the Interstate Fair this fall, said
that he was working hard on the ex-
hibit and was getting around among
the farmers in the effort to interest
them all.
And" continued Mr.. Hardy, II am
going to show these people the best
cbunty exhibit they ever saw this year
not only the best one Escambia
county ever had, but If any of these
other counties expect to take any pre-
miums here they have got to get
something better than they have ever
had before"
That is just the way Mr.. Hardy feels
about it, as he is a natural born en-
thusiast and a hard worker and If he
duce the best county exhibit ever seen
here it will be because the farmers
do not cooperate with him, and there
Is little danger from that source, as
he says he finds them eager to con-
tribute toward the exhibit everywhere
he goes.
Mr.. Hardy is an experienced and
practical farmer and he knows what
to select for an exhibit of this kind
and he also knows that this county
can produce the necessary articles and
is losing no time in locating them.
while / suppose 1t will be impos-
sible for me to see every farmer in the
county," said Mr.. Hardy, yet, / am
making a special effort to do so, as l
have seen a great many of the farmers
and expect to see a great many more,
but l will appreciate it if those whom
/ do not see will communicate with
me and send in any articles they may
desire to contribute to Escambia coun-
tvs exhibit for the fair this year"
Mr.. Hardy thinks the prospects for
good crops this year are fair and is
confident that the articles exhibited
will be of higher grade than those
in the exhibit of last year or any pre-
vious year.
Mr.. Hardy says he finds the farmers
throughout the county cheerful and
| that they are very much interested in
| the success of the fair.

Europe's Best
Below America.

In the ten years from 1900 to 1910
The average yearly pay Of all the men
employed on the state railroads OF the
kingdom of Prussia increased a little
more than Is per cent. That sounds
well. doesn't it, for one OF the old
countries of Europe? 1t is better, in
fact. than the showing which corre-
spending tests would make in almost
any other part Of that continent. Ger
many is the most prosperous of the
large countries of Europe and Prussia
Is the strongest state OF the German
empire as well as the biggest.
But there remains to be considered
where the gain of 26 per cent left the
Isy of the men, carefully sifted, who
run the government-owned railroads of
Prussia. The rate of increase does not
tell much unless the actual wages are
known.
What happened was an advance

ercise and work and this is just the
season of the year when it becomes
apparent. 1t is in the spring that the
friends of the tired business man who
has the shattered nerves and unrelia-
BILE digestion begin to tell him that he
should get out and exercise and get
his blood in circulation. About this
time his wife is cleaning house and
there are plenty of rugs or carpets
hanging out on the line in the back
yard aching to be pounded.
1t doesn't occur to the tired bust
ness man that there is enough exer-
else in that back yard to last him for
several days, and plenty more where
that came from. No indeed. He pays
500 to join a golf club and invests in
bag Of sticks and a cap and goes out
to play golf. Pounding a golf ball all
over a 100-acre lot is exercise, but
pounding a carpet is work. He will
pay a man to pound the carpet and
will pay for the privilege of pounding
the golf ball himself.
Any man who does not think there
is plenty Of exercise lurking about the
corners of his own home should inves-
tigate. There is no better exercise
in the world than chasing a lawn
mower up and down a corner lot,
through the virgin grass every day.
but il isn't popular with the shattered
business man because il does not cost
anything to do it. If these business
men had to pay for the privilege of
pushing a lawn mower up and down
a golf ground they would all be doing
it.
The difference between exercise and
work is what makes it a pleasure TO
swing Indian clubs in a gymnasium
for two hours and an absolute hard
ship to be obliged to turn a grindstone
Engaging in a tug of water in an
athletic club is fun and exercise, but
lacking down a strip of carpet is work.
The ordinary man values his blessings
by what he has to pay for them.

DUMPING BODIES
FOR MOTOR TRUCKS
Power and Hand Operated Dump Bodies
Enable Road transportation Costs
to Be Reduced.

To the ordinary layman who regards
the motor truck merely as sort Of
glorified horse wagon with a motor
substituted for the patient, plOdding
draft animal it viii come as a reVela-
ton that a trade paper was recently
able to publish long article illustrat-
ing and describing over two dozen
types of machines fitted with as many
different kinds of mechanical dump
ing bodies.
In handling certain kinds of mer-
chandise, such as coal, gravel, sand,
greatest item entering into the trans
Ia Dor for loading and unloading
This was only suspected in vague
kind of way before the advent OF the
motor truck, but when business men
began to buy such machines in guam
tity, they realized very quickly that
they were not getting the maximum
economy out Of their trucks by permit
ting them to stand idle.
With the horse, it is necessary to
give him occasional rests so that he
can Tecuperate after a heavy haul. but
the machine is without feeling or IA
tigue. Also. it costs money to keep
such valuable equipment standing idle
when it might be earning increased
dyividends by moving more freight on
the road Hence the dump body, which
drops the load in d few seconds. or
minutes at the most. puts the load eX-
acly whore it is required and permits
the machine to set back quickly into
action again

WASTE METALS
IN AUTO FACTORY
Tiny Bits OF Scrap Represent Fortune
to Owners of Big ShODs-Every-
thing to Be Used.

thing to Be Used.
What becomes of the waste metal ac-
cumulated daily in the machine shops
of the big motor car factories Of the
land? Where does it go? Is it a total
loss to the firm2 How Ecuch of it is
there2 Questions like these were re-
Gently asked by a visitor at the Ford
plant in Detroit as he was being shown
through the maze OF machines. The
visitor noticed the scrap boxes near
some machines and the pans under
others that were filling, being emDUed,
and refiuing with tiny bits of seal,
brass or cast iron, as the case might be.
The sight Of so much seeming waste
arC-sed the investigating prnpensities
of the visitor and he piled his guide
with questions. The guides eXplana-
ton was something like this. He told
the visitor that what seemed TO be
waste really isn't waste at all; 1t is
worked over again and made into
good material
After telling how the waste from
each machine is collected at one end
Of the factory. he pointed to a man at
work apparently playing with big
pile of steel and brass machinings- But
the guest soon discovered the man
wasn't wasting his time. In his hand
he had a large magnet which he kept
dragging through the machinings Tt
was explained TO the guest that this is
the method Of separating the steel from
the brass. the steel being caught and
noticing in the least the influence Of
the magnet pull If there is the least
bit Of brass in the steel machininss it
renders the latter almost useless for
salable purposes.
Then the guest was taken to where
the steel bOrings were pressed and
baled as if paper III a paper baler. Next
he watched the huge crane lift the
bales Of bOrings and boxes of other
ma chinings onto freight cars on which
they are hauled away The guide told
the visitor that this factory sends cut
about 10 carloads Of steel turnings and
three carloads of cast iron bOrings
each month. The amount of brass waste
totals about one ton per day in the
Ford factory alone The steel turn
ings are sold at the big steel mills at
Pittsburg. At the mills the tIrnings
are melted in cupolas and again nodded
into steel bars. The same thing hap
pens to the brass waste. 1t is sold
back to the firm from which IT came
and is resmelted into brass ignots.
Most of the big factories melt over
their own cast iron waste. This waste
which is not waste at aIl-totaIs into
the millions each year, for the Detroit
IA ctOrieS alone.

STATES AWAKINe TO DANGER
Additional Hospital Beds for the
Treatment If tuberculosis
Are Being Established.

Nearly 1000 additional hospital beds
Tor consumptives in 30 states were
provided during the year ending June
1. according to statement issued by
the National Association for the Study
and prevention of tuberculosis. This
makes total of over 10000 beds, but
only about one for every ten INDECENT
tuberculosis patients in this country.
In the last five years. the hospital
provision for consumptives has in
creased from 14.42S In 1907. to over
10000 in 1912, or over 100 per cent.
New York state leads in the number
of beds, having $3.50 on June 1: Mas
sachusetts comes next with $500; and
Pennsylvania, a close third, with 2,700.
Alabama showed the greatest percent
age of increase in the last year by add
ing 81 new beds to its AZ a year ago.
Georgia comes next with 109 beds add
ed to 240 year ago. New York has
the greatest numerical increase. hav-
ing provided over 1900 additional beds
in the year.
