DA|RY|NG TO
BE DEVELOPED
IN ESCAMb|A
MOVEMENT ORIGINATED AT A
MEETING OF TRUCK GROWERS
ASSOCIATION THURSDAY LAST
EXPECTED TO HAVE MUCH
GROWTH.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of
the Roberts and Gonzalez truck grow
ers' association was held at the
Roberts school house Thursday even
ing, and was presided over by S. w.
Hiatt and Secretary G. z. Inman.
Much interest was taken in the meet
ing and among those present from
Pensacola were G. F. Geek, president of
the Escambia County Crop Improve
ment Association G.. K. McQuarrie, ag-
riculture adviser, F. L. Seeger, COM
mission merchant and c. E. Wehmeier,
Q. G. Wehmeier and r NJ. Cause, rep
resenting the Pensacola Cream and
Milk Depot, and Henry Loheider, a
visiting farmer from Indiana.
Several addresses of interest were
made by those from the city and re-
ceived much attention from those
present. Mr.. Geek urged on the farm
ers the necessity of cooperating with
his association. Without the farmers
assistance, he said, his association
could not help the farmers make bet
the proper prices. Mr.. Seeger told the
farmers that there was a market for
their products in Pensacola at all times
provided they would accept the market
prices prevailing at New Orleans and
elsewhere. He said that he would pre-
fer to buy from local farmers than
to buy from other markets and have
to pay the railroad companies for
transportation. He complained, how
ever that the local farmers would
bring in a load of vegetables and
sell what they could to some merchant
and would then go from house to house
and peddle the balance OF their load to
consumers at much lower prices than
they sold to the merchant. He said
that this practice was wrong and
should be stopped at once. A talk
was then made by R. NJ. Cause on
dairy farming and its great value to
the truck growers. He said that the
new milk pasteurizing depot in Pen
sacola was opening a new field for the
farmers IN this section and that 1t
would offer permanent market for

VOTE OF THANKS EXTENDED BY
GRAND ARMY or REPUBLIC

Editor Pensacola Journal.
w. T. Sherman post wishes to thank
the city papers for the great help rem
dered in making Decoration Day the
great patriotic day Of the year. If there
is any time when the Pensacola public
gets enthused all over it's when the
soldiers of the land come to the front
Don't make any difference what they
fought about, that's all forgotten-it Is
the sacrifice made in devotion to their
country that is admired most.
Never before were so many flags
displayed on the business houses, on
the public buildings, on the private
homes-the homes where patriotism
begins, where the boy and the girl are
taught their first lesson in love for
their country.
And the flowers of this southland
never were so beautiful before and
never more plentiful than on yesterday
Memorial Day, many selecting the
national colors in their offerings, the
red, white and blue; the red signifying
war, the white peace, and the blue JUS
tice to>all.
We are also grateful to Col. Ridgway,
of Fort Barrancas. and his command.
They entered into the spirit of the day
with the greatest enthusiasm. The
stirring martial music, the maneuver-
ing of the troops, the impressive firing
of the salute to the nations dead and
the familiar sounding of taps" that
recalled TO the veterans the CAMP, the
march and the batt1efields of 81 to
'65. And to the very efficient ambu-
lance corps that made 1t easier for the
veteran who unwillingly was obliged to
forego the march perhaps for the first
time in his life.
We would like to mention everyone
who aided in the program of the day.
but we do want to thank the quartette
of singers. Every one of them is an
artist in their patriotic songs and the
way they were rendered. These songs
put new life into the old boys, many
of them joining In the chorus, and to
Comrade Hale, who devotes his life to
the care of the national cemetery.
Nothing was left undone to make this
Memorial Day everything that it is in
name-patriotism, love, devotion.
And to the good women of the Con-
federate Memorial Association, who
kindly bestowed a tribute in flowers,
white and pure to the memory of the
men in blue. The dead may not know,
but we shall know and our children
shall know and we and they shall be
lifted to higher citizenship and our
feet turned into holier ways

any amount of milk they could pro-
duce. He called attention to the great
value of the fertilizer realized from
the dairy aside from the profit that
would be made on the milk. The new
milk depot would pay the farmers on a
butter fat basis, 4 IL cents per pint.
At that price the farmers would
realize from Is to % cents per gallon.
This would encourage the farmers to
produce rich, pure milk as they would
be paid according to it's quality.
Mr.. McQuarrte made some remarks
on various topics of interest to the
farmers and urged, as did Mr.. Geek,
that the farmers cooperate with him
and the association. He said that he
was glad to see the dairy field was
about to be opened to the farmers of
this section. He said that the dairying
was the backbone Of all farming and
that the fertilizer was a great value
and that it would put more life and
vitality into the soil. He said he had
raised milk in Florida and vicinity for
seventeen years and had produced it
as low as seven cents per gallon. He
hoped the farmers would take advan-
tage of this new opportunity as pros
perity always followed the milk pail.

Florida than any other one factor.
In addition to this, the meeting Will
give these soldiers of the night and

a little e1bow-rubblng at Tampa may

To the Publishers and Printers OF Flor

exceptionally attractive round-trip rate
for this occa sion, the tickets going on

limit being midnight, June 80.
The place, the date, and the round

occasion which every newspaper man
in Florida can afford to enjoy and one
which, on the other hand, no news
paper man can afford to miss.
/ am making this appeal to the
members of the state press in the hope
that at least one representative, and
more If possible, can be present from
every newspaper or printing office in
Florida.
There are many reasons why the
publishing and printing fraternity
should hold these annual meetings and
should profit thereby.

almost the only class who, while their
interests are in common, still do little
or nothing to effect that mutual I'M

fcation, until it has now assumed the
shape of our badge.
This trefoil badge of the Scout is
now used, with slight local variations,

the mark of brotherhood, for good cit

The trefoil refers to the three points
of the Scout oath.
The scroll is turned up at the ends
like a Scouts mouth, because a
Scout is always cheerful, and does his
duty willingly and with a smile.

Business Managers
For Cities.

So far as we can recall, Sumter. S.
c., is the only town in the country that
is governed by O business manager.
This experiment has been going on in
the South Carolina town for nearly a
year and is said to be a success.
This plan differs from the ordinary
commission plan in that the commits
sioners instead of giving all their time
to the city, keep on with their private
business and delegate their authority
to a hired manager. This city manager
When Sumter advertised for man for
business manager, 145 men applied for
the job. The commissioners selected
a young railroad engineer, Malcolm
Mclean Worthington, of Maryland, for
the place and gave him $4,000 a year.
The mayor Of the city, who is one of
the three commissioners, gets the NOM
inal salary of $500 a year and the
other two get $500 each. The South
Carolina law authorized the mayor to
receive $1,000 a year and the other
alternative adopted the total expense
for salaries is the same.
1t will be recalled that German cities
have professional mayors. A man
starts out in life running a small town
and IL he succeeds he gets to be a
mayor Of a large city. In this way a
class of men is built up for this par
ticular work.
The Sumter plan is an interesting
experiment in municipal government
and it will be watched with interest

1t was practically known two years
ago that the tariff would be placed on
a revenue basis. The country demand

fairs to meet the change. 1t was prac-
tically certain that nothing could pre-
vent the lower house of congress from
carrying out this tariff for revenue

the house without much struggle.
But the protected interests die hard.

Boy Scout Notes

Although this troop was organized but
recently, and on last report contained
but one patrol, they already have four
boys ready to take the examinations
for second class Scout.
In the future, all boys passing ten
derfoot, second-class or f1rst-class ex-
aminations, will be presented With
Boy Scout certificate. These cert1h-
Gates are the size of a post card, and
printed in different colors. Red, for

Camp Notes.
It is hoped that all the Scouts In
Pensacola will be able to attend at
least part of the two weeks camp
which it is expected will be held at
Eleven Mile creek, commencing Mon
day, June 10th.
Only those boys who have qualified
as tenderfoot will be allowed to go
on this camp.
In an ideal Scout camp everything
as far as possible is done by the boys
themselves and for each other.
The first principle for a Scout camp
is that every Scout will do all he pos
sibly can for himself and consider it
a disgrace to have anybody do fer
him anything that he can do himself.
The second principle is for a Scout
to get along with just as few bought"
things as possible, and make for him
self everything he can.
The third principle is that the Scout
will see how much he can do for camp
instead of trying to see how much he
can get out Of doing.
There will be a Scout rally on Fri
day evening, June 18th. Examinations
will be held for tenderfoot class only
This Is to enable all boys who have
not yet qualified in this test, and de-
side to go on the camp, to make good.
An all night camp was enjoyed by
the Scouts of Pensacola on Friday
night.
