Arranaine Flowers.

TO arrange flowers the best way
take a lesson from the fields, woods
or garden where you find them grow
ing. Where red and white clover
daisies and grasses are found, arrange
them in a loose bouquet to look just
as they grew; and, as these are unpre-
tertious flowers, do not put them In a
glass vase, but rather choose an Or

WEST FLORIDA
FAIR PROVED
A BIG SUCCESS
HON. J. BOWERS CAMPBELL,
PROMINENT MARIANNE ATTOR-
NEY, TALKS OF THE GREAT Elk
POSITION.

Much has already been printed
about the success of the West Florida
Fair, held at Mariana this year, but
Hon J Bowers Campbell, a prominent
lawyer of Mariana and the secretary
Of the Board Of Trade of that city,
who was here to see Judge Sheppard
OF the fedecal court for the northern
district of Florida, last Friday. gave
some information regarding the fair,
which is not generally known.
On Friday, Nov. A. which was the
last day of the fair, there were some
thing more than 500 paid admissions
to this fair, according to Mr.. Camp
bell, and all school children and teach
ers in the entire county of Jackson
were admitted free, besides the num-
Der of season tickets and passes out,
which must have numbered anywhere
from two hundred to five hundred
While the admission was only ten
cents, the gate receipts were sufficient
to please the directors of the fair and
it is thought that the fair of this year
is only an indication of what it will be
next year.
The first premium for an agricul-
tural exhibit at this fair was won by
Calhoun county, but all of the exhibits
shown were very creditable, according
to Mr.. Bowers, and next year the fair
will rival any ever pulled off in West
Florida
One Of the interesting features of
this fair, and one which shows the
possibilities of the section represented,
was a hog, taken right out Of the
swamps, which weighed five hundred
pounds, without even being fattene6.
Mr.. Bowers is much interested in
the Pensacola Interstate Fair and said
that he hoped that next year the
dates and everything else could be so
arranged that the Pensacola Interstate
Fair and the West Florida Fair could
CO. operate with each other and the
exhibits from one could be taken to
the other.

Obligations to the
Church and State.

Yesterday brought to a close the
week Of prayer recently instituted by
the 7. NJ c. A. Of Pensacola.
Those who believe and assert that
this is a goddess age have but to see
the work that the men of Pensacola
are doing. TO recognize the fact that
this ctty's moral growth is keeping
pace with It's commercial progress.
The week OF prayer just closed in
Pensacola has proven beyond any
question that there has been a re-
awakening among the men Of the city
as to their spiritual obligations.
From the pulpit of every church in
Pensacola last Sunday there was
preached q sermon especially directed
to the men of the church. The object
of the work that was done during the
past week by the Y. NJ. c. A. was
not only to get men into the church,
but 10 promote church activity among
the men.
The men OF the country are awak-
ening to their obligations to the church
and the state al never before in all
the worlds history. They are recog-
MIXING the fact that many OF the So
cial evils can be best handled by the
laymen OF the church.
The week Of prayer just closed in
Pensacola is step forward for a
greater social purify. q more helpful
spirit of brotherhood, q wider outlok
for all things humanitarian.

The Ladies Home Journal with its

the wives and sisters of this country
much information along this line; other
ma gaines have taken up this subject,

/ believe that The Pensacola Journal
is the first newspaper in the state that
has been brave enough TO open its coll

Atlanta papers during 1912 ran a series
of articles in which a spade was called
a spade, but they were paid for at cur
rant advertising rates. If anything is
to be accomplished toward protecting
boys and girls, it must be done at an
early age. If we put off until tomorrow

cases we have locked the stable door

Eliot, president of the congress, and

The improvement must be gradual and
the results secured by combination
