GROWTH OF A TOWN

GROWTH OF A TOWN.
The growth Of a town IS
valuable and worthwhile to It's
citizens both collectively and
individually. 1t stimulates
civic pride, puts life and action
into the people and makes
possible convcnienccs, impro-
vc1neuts and amusenents that
otherwise could not be had.
A non-progressive town
puts its mark upon its citizen
ship. Team work, among its
Inhabitants does not exist be-
cause there is no spirit Of pro-
grcss to create ii. Energy and
movement for bettcrmeut not
being present to unite them
the citizens, rs Il rule, waste
their time III factional politics,
for even in a dead town there
are some people who must
have action.
There is no excuse for a
town to be backward and wait
ing for nomethiug to turn up,
or for the citizens Of any town
TO waste their energy and time
with factional politics, for
there are too many opportun-
tiles lying at the door OF every
town waiting for action ano
consideration of its citizens.
Surrounding every town l.
a country capable OF producing
three and fourfold what it /
yielding. What a splendi'

There are good roads t

more convenient to each othe

a distinguished resident of Panama
City announced that Panama City was

have exercised better judgment and
showed himself a better political
prophet had he waited to make that
announcement for his home town until
such time as the voters of Bay county
had by their ballot indicated that they
had any desire that the county seat of
Bay county should be located at Pana-

TUESDAY NIGHT
PUPILS OF PENSACOLA SCHOOL
OF MUSIC WILL ENTERTAIN AT
SAN CARLOS AUDITORIUM.

The second recital by the pupils Of
the Pensacola School of Music is to
be given on Tuesday, July the first, at
eight o'clock in the evening, in the San
Carlos auditorium.
The friendly attitude of the public
towards Pensacola's new music school,
as evidenced by the record attendan ces
a the first faculty concert in February
and the first pupils recital in April,
is the best form of encouragement the
school can possibly have, for it shows
that the public is interested.
This and the constant influx of new
pupils prove conclusively that the
school was needed and that "a previous
void is now filed. The vital question
for Pensacola, from civic point of
view, is, how is it filled? That is a
question which must never be consfd-
cred as finally answered.: 1t must be
asked frequently and persistently as
a preventive of self-s atisfedness and
stagnation; and the only answer which
should be accepted is the practical evil
dence of progress or the reverse which
systematic public pupils recitals are
bound to disclose.
Leschetizky, who may be described
as the patron saint of the school,
Heschetizky was Paderewskfs teach
err and whose method Is taught at
the school, was a firm believer in the
efficacy of public pupils recitals: his
class of over two hundred piano pupils,
(who paid ten dollars a lesson) all
training for the profession, took turns
to perform al the recitals which were
given Friday evening, thereby gaining
the confidence and assurance of old
platform hands before laun ching out
as professionals.
Here, then, are excellent reasons for
the giving Of recitals: the public are
the judges and can make or break the
school; the teachers are bound to pro-
duce results, knowing they must sue
coed or be succeeded; and the pupils
are put on their mettIe by the knowI-
edge that the public are coming to
hear them perform on a pubic plat
form.
In the vernacular, 1t is an all-round
case of delivering the goods

HIS MAJESTY IS
A GREAT WALKER
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Geneva, June 21@The king Of Wur-
temburg is taking his holiday this year
in walking excursions. He goes quite
alone, except for his fayorite dog. He
is staying at one of his country places
near Friedrichshafen, on the other side
of Lake Constance. He came over a
day or two ago in the little tourist
steamer to the Swiss shore at Ror-
schach. AS a simple Traveller ne went
into a bar and ordered glass Of beer.

Swiss waitress as she served him.
Yes, more beautiful than am re-

That is true said the girl. glancing
at the king, and certainly he is far
younger"
You are perfectly right" replied the
king.
He drank his beer and left a gold
piece on the table. The girl ran after
him down the street, saying he had
forgotten his change. "Oh, no." an

tie is such as to cause buyers TO come
from the far West to buy these scrub
cattle for breeding purposes, the
chances of southern farmers refltng
deed small, for where are these good
breeding cattle to come from at rea-
sonable price, The best and most
profitable way of getting good cattle
throughout the South is to breed up
the native cattle by the use of pure
bred bulls, and by castrating all scrub
bulls at an early age.
The South is especially ada pied to
raising cattle, because of the long
grazing season, the enormous areas Of
cheap land much of which is now lying
idle, the great variety of pasture
grasses and legumes which grow lux
uriantly all soils, and because of
the mild winters.
If the western ranchrnan can afford
to pay southern farmers good prices
for cows, pay the high freight rates to
the West. stand the losses which nat
urally occur during shipping their cat
tie such long distances, also bear the
losses due to a change Of climatic con-
dittons, and then make money on
them, why cannot the southern farmer
who already owns the cattle as well
as the grazing lands, and who needs
the manure upon the soils, keep this
stock on the farm and secure the in
creased profits?
The farmers Of the Soz-th should
discontinue this wholesale chipping of
cattle to other states. !"

Tobacco Habit
Easily Conquered

A well-known New Yorker who has
had wide experience, has written a
book telling how the tobacco or snuff
habit may be easily banished in three
days without any return of the crav-
ing.
The health improves wonderfully af-
ter the nicotine poison is out of the
system. CalmneSs, tranquil sleep,
clear eyes, normal appetite, good di-
gestion, manly vigor, strong memory
and a general gain in efficiency are
among the many benefits reported. No
more of that nervous feeling; no more
need of pipe, cigar, cigarette or chew
ing tobacco to pacify the morbid de-
sire. The author, Edw. ]. Woods, 534
Sixth Ave, 700 F, New York City, will
send his book free on application to
anyone who writes to him. (adv.)

MIDDLE VESTS
GETTING STOCK
FROM FLORIDA
GREAT DEAL OF LIVE STOCK is
SENT FROM THIS AND ADJOIN-
ING STATES TO SUPPLY GREAT
CANNING ESTABLISHMENTS.
BY WINFIELD JONES

Washington, June 21-During the
past twelve months cattle buyers have
been active in Texas, Florida, Louis
lana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Geor-
gia, purchasing cattle TO be shipped
to the middle western markets. The
prices paid for Gamers during this
period have been so high that thou
sands of cows and heifers have gone
to the shambles which should have
been retained on the farms for breed
ing purposes. This is especially no
ticeable when the receipts of south
ern cattle a the ST. Louis market for
the last twelve months are compared
with those for any previous period of
similar length.
Since the first of February buyers
from the farms and ranches Of the
West have been securing the gulf
states in search of breeding stock A
few years ago this class of cattle would
have been secured by the western
ranchman as breeding stock, but with
the shortage of cows for breeding
purposes the rancl1ers are glad to get
these cheap cows, to which they Will
breed good beef bulls. The half
breeds resulting from this mating
make fairly desirable beef animals.
Several thousand cattle have already
been sent from these states to Texas,
Oklahoma and Kansas, and some of
them are said to have been shipped
as far as Montana
Recently there were more cattle I'M

Some people Of the South seem glad

as the number of scrub cattle is being

cattle as result. They do not look
far enough ahead, however, or they
would see that if the shortage of cat
