Dairy Farms
Near Pensacola.

Yesterdays Pensacola Journal car
lied an advertisement of dairy farm
near Pensacola. This advertisement
guaranteed the butter to be equal to
the famous Elgin butter, and told of a
number of Pensacola merchants who
handle the brand.
Many West F1oridians do not know
that dairying is a profitable business
and that milk and butter made in this
section is equal in quality to that pro-
duced in other sections which have
made regulations by advertising their
dairy products.
It Is a good sign to see the Pensa-
cola firms patronizing those things
which have merit when they are made
close to home. and the success OF the
dairy we have in mind will SUI ely re-
suit in others being established in
this section. In the north where
dairies are such a success green pas
lures are not possible all of the year
round and the cold winters make il
necessary that expensive buildings to
house the cattle be maintained
Dairying in Florida ought to be
more profitable than in any other sec
ton of the United States. Run in con-
nection with truck growing and hos
raising this section will surely be-

OF course YOU must move. 1t is
against the rules to stay more than
a year in one house nowadays. even
if it is a perfectly good house and in a
splendid neighborhood The whole
family goes out house hunting collec-
lively and individually.
Your wife wants colonial house
with pillars in front your daughter
wants one of those new.fang led Nbun-
galows, and your mother in law wants
one of those old IA shioned ones with
about fourteen gables in the roof and
tower in one corner. You talk about
the house before breakfast and supper
and the various members of your
family telephone you about the house
at odd times during the day. Rent
ing agency men hold a convention in
your office and load you down with
about fifteen pounds OF door keys
which you lug around for about three
weeks while your family is making up
its mind.
Finally you find a house that is a
sort of combination of all the houses
favored. but it is in a poor neighbor-
hood. When you get in you find that
the wall paper is not right in any
room, the kitchen pump won't work,
the plumbing is out of order, the back
stairs are too steep, the kitchen roof
leaks, the man next door owns a
photograph and triplets that cry all
night. and the house has a; black eye
because the last family that lived
ther didn't pay bills. This is liable to
occur, no matter what house you
choose. When you get the house fixed
up at your own expense II is time &c
move again.

QUICKLY ENDS
INDIGESTION
HEARTBURN, GAS, DYSPEPSIA
AND OTHER STOMACH DIS.
TREss GOES AFTER TAKING A
LITTLE DIAPEPSIN.

Every family here ought to keep
some Diapepsin in the house, as any
one of you may have an attack Of In
digestion or Stomach trouble at any
time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will d.
gest anything you eat and overcome a
distressed, out-of- order stomach five
minutes afterwards.
If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill
your stomach, or IL you have heart
burn, that is sign OF Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for 50-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin, and take a
little just as soon as you can. There
will be no sour risings, no belching Of
undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea,
Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or
intestinal gripping. This will all go,
and, besides, there will be no sour food
left over in the stomach to poison your
breath with naseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain cure
for out Of order stomachs, because II
prevents fermentation and takes hold
Of your food and digests it just the
same as If your stomach wasn't there
Relief in five minutes from all stom-
ach misery is at your drug store, wait

These large So cent cases of Pape's
Diapepsin contain more than sufficient
to cure any case of Dyspepsia, Indi-
gestion or any other Stomach trouble

Join Our Excuse Club.

Believing that there is a great field
for an organization of its kind in our
midst, we are instituting an Excuse
Club. The excuse club will fill a long
felt want, we are very sure. The old
excuses have been worn away beyond
recognition. The lodge excuse has
whiskers on it three feet long and
must now be laid on the shelf.

cuse, the fire down town" excuse, the

cuse are passe and the woman who
would believe any of them doesn't live
in this city.
Some of the excuses already submit
ted by charter members are quoted
here to-, give prospective members a
clear idea of the value of this great
work:

A Progressive Democracy
Victory in Florida.

The Journal congratulates Governor
elect Park Trammell. Hon. W. H. MIL
ton. and the people of Florida on Mr..
Millions withdrawal from the second
primary for governor.
Mr.. Trammell's long lead and the
small percentage OF votes required to
make his nomination indicated very
clearly that he is the choice OF a ma :
jority OF the democrats OF the state,
and Mr.. Milton's decision to avoid the
heated and expensive campaign neces-
sary for a second, primary contest will
make him many friends throughout
Florida.
And after all, why should Milton and
Trammell divide the Progressive De-
mocracy of the state by a second pri-
mary campaign? Both are Progressive,
both were supported by the Pro-
gressive Democrats. and both occupy
a high place in the esteem of that
element Of the party
Governor Trammelrs administration
win be Progressive administration
and will be committed to those Pro-
gressive policies for which the party
stands today. With good feeling exist
ing between the friends of both Tram
nell and Milton, that administration
should be, and will be, all the more
successful
So far as Col. Gibbons's demand 20
have his name placed on the second
primary ballot is concerned, that mat
ter can be disposed OF in very short
order
The primary law, as well as common
sense, eliminates from the second pri-
mary all candidates who did not run
either first or second. Col. Gibbons
ran fourth. He has no more standing
In the second primary than man who
ran four years ago or who did not rur
at all. The first primary eliminated
him absolutely just as it did Mr.. Wat.
son and Mr.. Semple
II there is any question at all to h,
decided, it is the question of whethel
Mr.. Milton or the committee has an,
right to withdraw Mr.. Millions nam,
from the ballot. The Journal thinks
there is no question but that they d,
have the right to so withdraw it, blu
that really is the only question to b
decided and, as we understand it, tina
question has NOT been raised.
Mr.. Trammells is the only nam
now entitled to go on the second pri
mary ballot as a candidate for gov
ernor and his Is the only name tina
will appear on that ballot.

Southern cities are growing rapidly
and new ones are springing up where
pine forests were few years ago and
the market for the dairyman, the
trucker and the live stock raiser is
becoming larger and is close to home.
The price of the farmers produce
will never be lower than 1t Is today.
The demand is constantly increasing
and the supply is barely holding its
own, which shows the opportunity
awaiting the industrious man who will
procure a farm site in the fertile West
Florida section and cast his lot here.
For the West Florida section to
reach it's zenith the people must in
vite more farmers The people must
encourage and cooperate with them
that they may plant those things
which will bring in a steady income.
In this section the crops may be so
planted that what Is known as a
money crop" may be harvested almost
every month in the year.
Three and four crops may be
grown on the same piece of ground in
one year and the land will constantly
increase in fertility and will produce
greater crops as the years go by.
Truck farming followed by forage
crops prove a profitable combination,
as do strawberries and sweet and Irish
potatoes. Peas and corn as well as
other thing may be grown on the
same lands. These kind, Of crops IN
conjunction with stock-raising and
dairying make a happy combination
for the farmers who want to prosper.
