Rum and The Navy.

A few weeks ago we told our
readers that Secretary of the
Navy Daniels had forbidden the
use Of all Intoxicating liquors on
United States vessels and about
the government docks. Since
that time our attention has been
called to the fact that the aver
age age of the enlisted men now in
Mexican waters is not over twen-
ty-one years. From other sour
ces we learn that when navy men
are arrested for drunkenness, it
develops that they acquired the
habit during their stay on board
the ships. If you have sons,
brothers or young friends aboard
any of these ships do you not feel
happier to know that they are
free from the temptation to olearn
to drink? And yet liquor news
papers ar poking all kinds of fun
at what they term "piffle" what
ever that means. Uncle Sam has
no moral right to borrow your
sons to hazard their lives in de-
fense of the country, and then
subject them to the possibility
of becoming sots. All rummies
are rejected when they apply for
admission to the navy-w h y
make them 'rummies" while on
duty?

Cost $1,000.

1t cost a Nebraska saloon keep
er So, 900 to make a man a drunk
ard. That state has law max
ing it crime to make drunkards
A wife recently brought suit a
gainst a liquor dealer for having
made her husband incapable of
properly supporting his family,
on account of drink. The case was
carried through the courts up to,
and including, the SupremeCourt
of the United States. The latter
decided that the State had per-
feet right to place such a law on
it's books, and dismissed the case.
The sot maker will now have to
pass over $5, 900 to the wife. 1t
may not be generally known that
Pennsylvania has a similar law on
her statue books. The act Of
April IL, 1875, makes the rum
seller who furnishes liquor to ha-
bitual drunkards, liable to dam
ages and open to civil prosecu-
ton in the courts of the Common
wealth. The Nebraska actreach
ed the Supreme court through
proceedings brought by Mrs. May
Bulger against Louis w. Prenica,
a saloonkeeper of Nebraska City.
Under the act, Nebraska courts
had awarded Mrs. Bulger 5000
damages for her husband becom-
ing a habitual drunkard. Prem
lea appealed, but the Supreme
court upheld the act.
1t may be added just here,
that if the temperance people
would spend less time scolding
the liquor sellers, and would go
into the courts and make use of
the laws that are already on the
books, very much more would be
accomplished along the line of
controlling the evil.

Easy To Have Apples
Throughout The Season.

The editor of a Philadelphia
class publication, recognized as a
standard in its line, wrote to
State Economic Zoologist H. A.
Surface, Harrisburg, recently y
asking for names for five apples
for home use throughout the sea-
son. Professor Surface recon-
medded the following;
Yellow Transparent, Swee t
Bough, Summer Rambo, Smoke
house and Stayman Winesap.
His letter also stated:
"The only real winter apple on
the list is the last named. Ifyou
wish to substitute a winter va
riety for the sweet Bough, |
would recommend Delicious or
Rome Beauty. Jonathan is an
other of very high quality, as is
also the Grimes Golden. 1t is diff
ficult to think of eliminating any
one of these from a list of apples
with every high quality for grow
ing in the southeastern part Of
Pennsylvania for home use."

was pretty constantly on the move,

by the future president for consider

Coming to Pensacola in July of last
year. and entering the field rather as
an experiment. the Pensacola Mat
tress Factory has found business so
good that it has become necessary to
move into larger quarters and Increase
the capacity Of the factory, according
to the statement of r. NJ. Wells. the
manager, in conversation with q rep-
resentative of The Journal yesterday
afternoon. In fact, the company has
already purchased lots on Romano

proof building, 80x100 feet. the work
on the building to begin about the
first of next month.
The capacity OF the plant, which is
at present located at the corner of
Tarragona and Church streets. is now
about 100 mattresses per day, and,
according to Mr.. Wells, this can be
thrfbbled when the concern Is moved
into the new quarters. Something
like thirty five or forty men will be
given employment when the new build
ing is occupied.
Mr.. Wells has become q very ardent
Pensacola booster and is delighted
with the success with which his COM

Varieties.
The following are among the most
widely grown varieties: Improved Rose
No. 4. Red Bliss Triumph, Early Rose,
Early Ohio, Beauty of Hebron. These
are early varieties. Medium and late
varieties are Burbank, Rural New
Yorker No. 2, Empire State, White
Star and Dakota Red.
These are standard varieties, and
give general satisfaction.
General Directions.
The rows should be laid OF as close
together as practicable without inter
fering with horse cultivation. Gener-
ally, the seed pieces should be dropped
in burrows made In the level field, and
not on ridges. However, low ridges
are advantageous for an early crop
and on poorly drained land. In COW
ering the seed piece, whether they arc
placed fiat or on ridges, it is well to
leave a small, sharp ridge marking the
line of the row. In some localities,
however, where excessive moisture is
not feared, the opening burrows are
Only partially filed after planting,
leaving a depression along the row to
be filled by the use Of the smoothing
harrow or other implement In plant
ing late in the season this course is
sometimes advisable
The pieces may be dropped by hand
in the open furrow. or potato planter
may be used, dropping and covering
the seed pieces at one operation. The
planter saves a considerable amount
OF labor, and enables the potato grow
er to take full advantage of even a
brief period Of favorable weather at
planting time. regardless of scarcity OF
labor.
Time of Planting.
Each community is the best Judge of
the proper time for planting. This
applies to South and North Florida.
Where potatoes are grown for the
early market the aim is to plant as
early as possible without subjecting
the young plants to severe cold. The
crop should be planted at such a date
as to bring the stage OF growth dur
ing which the tubers are rapidly de-
ve1oping at time when there is ordi-
narily an adequate supply Of moisture
In the central and northern portion Of
the state I should advise planting not
earlier than December and January
