In many parts OF Europe. Among
the American Indians worship of the
Man in the Moon was widely spread:
and this worship will probably exist,
despite the actual changes Of this
latter day, until the last Indian Ia
dead.
BY the Aztecs the Man in the Moon
was defined under the name of
Meztli, and they had pyramid Of
the man, as we'll as pyramid OF the
Man In the Sun. In the temple OF
the Sun at Cuzco was a chapel con-
secrated to the moon. the deity held
next in reverence to the sun, and re-
garded as the forefather OF the Incas..

Thus 1t is seen how the passing of the

the Man in the Moon are killing his wife.
The Woman in the Moon has also bee,

truth 1t would seem that her profile Is
almost as famous as the full features of
the man. Until recently the Woman could
be seen plainly at any time between tue

The Trouble
With Japan.

The idea that Japan will go to war
with this country If the state of Cali
fornia enacts an alien land law seems
rather far fetched. 1t IL true that a
strong anti American sentiment has
been worked up in Japan on the
grounds of the proposed action of Calf
fornia, but when the matter is sffted
down 1t will be found that Japan has
no international right. treaty right or
any other kind of right to interfere
with the land laws of any American
commonwealth.
The law proposed by California pro-
hihits the alien ownership OF land in
that state unless the alien owner dc

TREATMENT ON PART OF THE
PLANTER-HE MAKES SOME
SUGGESTIONS.

During the week c. K. McQuarrie,
of the Escambia Crop Improvement
Association, made quite a tour of the
county. finding every crop with the
exception of oats doing well. Re-
porting results, he says:
The McQuarrie Report.
To the farmers, truckers and fruit
growers of Escambia county: Dur
Ing the past week, I had the oppor-
tunity of visiting large number of
the farmers and truckers of the coun-
ty, and find crops of al kinds prom
isfng well, with the exception of oats;
this crop is suffering from want Of
proper treatment. If these fields had
been narrowed, or even disked inn
mediately after the heavy rains Of
March, at least eighty per cent of the
crop would have been saved. These
heavy rains packed the soil and form
ed q, hard crust which excludes the
oxygen so necessary to all crop roots.
with the result that rust prevails to a
very serious extent. This crop, on
the sitter clayey soils of the northern
section, is suffering worse than on the
more sandy soils in the vicinity of
Pensacola. The bet crops of oats
that I have seen in the county are in
the Olive and Ferry Pass sections If
these farmers with rusty oat fields
had a weeder among their farm tools
and used It a few times after these
rains, they would have saved enough
of the crops extra to pay for this
tool several times over The weeder
Is a tool that no farmer in Escam

Strawberry Culture.
I am sorry to find so few Of our
truckers engaged in strawberry Gull

fruit consumed in Pensacola is grown
elsewhere. This condition Of affairs
should not exist, as the soil Of the
county bordering on Pensacola is well
adapted to strawberry production, and
there are few crops that one can en-
gage in that will pay better than the
strawberry one, and I hope to see
this crop largely increased next year
by setting out enlarged areas next fall.

Should Enact Corrupt
Practices Act.

There seems to be little doubt the
legislature intends to enact a new
primary law making certain re-
forms and providing for improve
ments on the existing law. Several
proposed laws have been prepared and
the temper of the members is such
that 1t is safe to assume that law OF
some such import wiz be enacted.
In connection with the new primary
law 1T is highly important that a law
should be enacted regulating all cam
paign expenses. Several bills have
been proposed but all of them are i'm
perfect, each. however. being an i'm
provement on the existing order OF
things
Such a law fs commonly referred to
as corrupt practices aot and Flor
ida sorely needs something Of the kind

for Office and be nominated unless he
spends during the campaign a much
larger sum than he can AFFORD to

The corrupt practices bin and the
primary election bill are campaign
measures that should be enacted into
law.

bat proper care of human beings, so
that they may produce maximum results
with minimum waste. declared Henry s.
Orinker, president of Lehigh University.
in a speech before students OF Tome
Institute tonight
President Drinker is president OF the
American Forestry Association and a
member Of the executive committee of
the National Conservation Congress in
explaining his views on conservation he
said that the young men OF today would
enter business life In an age when they
will find that the country has passed
from the carly stage OF abundance to
the second stage. The second stage. he
said, would be when the great natural
resources of the country must be hus-
handed to guard against a third stage.
Unless intelligently guarded against. he
said that there would come a third stage.
when succeeding generations will suffer
for want of things which We, their prede-
cessors, may have negligently wasted and
thrown away.
"The main doctrines of conservation
concluded President Drinker. ARE the
care and conservation of life and the
conservation of our natural resources. We
should learn to use them so as not to
waste them. We should develop them in
accordance with the maxims of two
noted conservationists, utilization with a
maximum efficiency and a minimum
waste and the enlargement of the use
and the prevention of the abuse"

ANTI-JAPANESE LAND

Representative Clark Believes Consti.
tuition of the State Should
Be Amended.

The constitution of Florida should be
amended, il necessary, to prevent Japa-
nese colonization in that State, according
to Representative Frank Clark OF Florida.
Mr.. Clark recently demanded of Gov.
Crammell that the Legislature be con-
vened in extra session to pass a law pre-
venting foreigners from owning land. The
object was to head on a colonization
scheme doomed by former Gov. William
$. Jennings, cousin of Secretary Of State
Bryan Gov. Crammel announced that
in his opinion such a law as Mr. Clark
proposed would be unconstitutional
Mr.. Clark yesterday declared IL would
be an easy matter to amend the consii-
tuition. as amendment is possible by a
three-fifths vote Of the Legislature and
by majority vote by the people of the
State. Mr.. Clark believes that the con-
sutution should be speedily amended.
