The $135, 100000 Cotton
Fund Is Now Available.

The $1s5, 200, 900 cotton loan fund is
row available, according to an an
louncement made at Washington, ana
oans may be secured from it upon
.otton ON the basis OF six cents per
pound in lots of 100 bales. 1t will be
he effort Of those in charge Of the
'und to reach the actual producer OF
sotton and, although loans on 1oO-bals
OTIS are specihed, a number Of pro-
iuoers may combine to make up the
amount necessary as collateral.
It IS believed that the operation OF
his fund will have an immediate effect
IN bettering conditions throughout the
cotton growing states by fixing a sta
Vie value for the product. Secretary
HcAdoo is authority for the statement
hat an effort was mads to prevent
he completion of the loan fund, but
expressed satisfaction that it was
without effect.
With cotton heavily in demand in
Germany, where the market is about
10 cents per pound. it is the general
belief that the price in this country
win advance sharply after the holiday
season. The belligerent nations have
I'll declared that cotton is not subject
10 capture and the trouble has been
in securing ships to carry
he cargoes abroad. But the shipping
situation is beginning to show con-
siderable Improvement and it is ex-
oected that, within another month. ex-
oorts will show a heavy increase.

A Chicken Law
Needed in Pensacola.

s One of The Journals numerous lady
leaders complains that neighbor's
chickens are scratching up her garden
ana flower beds and are making them
selves thoroughly disagreeable.
We can well imagine that what the
ady says is true. There are few
hings more destructive than chick
ems, and a garden or a flower bed
where these fowls run at large is next
0 impossible.
We have never been able to un-
Herstand the attitude of a person who
considered that his chickens had q
light to destroy his neighbor's prop
krty. Yet there are hundreds of peo
pie who raise chickens, who make no
9retense Of keeping them in a yard,
md who get insulted if a neighbor
srotests that the fowls have destroyed
his garden or his flower beds.
The same trouble was experienced
pefore the city passed it's stock ordi-
1ance. Cattle and horses ranged at
arge over public parks and private
awns, destroying grass, flowers,
lhruss. and trees, and the owner Of a
ow always got highly Indignant
when protest was made against these
lepredations. After years OF agita-
ion led principally by The Journal.
attIe were by ordinance shut out of
he city limits from ranging at large
nd public and private property was
.endered safe.
Chickens are in some cases even
nore destructive than cattle and they
lhould be prohibited from running at
srge just as cattle are. OF course
hose chicken owners who think they
iave a right to grow chickens on
,ther peoples gardens will protest il
hey are compelled to pen the fowls
ip, but that does not alter the neces-
.ity for a chicken law.
The city commissioners should pass
n ordinance making 1t unlawful for
PERSONS to let chickens run on the
public streets or on private property |
Make everyone who wants to raise
keep them in his own yard. |
And &C he kicks about it, let him kick |

REAL SCRAMBLE
FOR TICKETS BY
MANY CHILDREN
OFFICE OF PROBATION OFFICER
PAULSEN WAS ENLIVENED
THROUGHOUT ENTTRE DAY BY
BRIGHT.F FACED YOUNGSTERS.

Bright-faced youngsters to the num-
Der of several hundred, made calls
at the office OF Probation Officer H.
Paulsen, throughout the entire day
yesterday and besieged the well-known
officer for tickets for the Doll and Toy
distribution, to be conducted Christ
mas morning by the St. Nicholas girl
and her numerous assistants.
Many of the boys and girls who
called and begged for the precious
tickets did not take the time to even
wait for the elevator, out bounded UP
the stairs, two at the time. and crowd
ed into the probation officers office,
breathlessly announcing their reason
for calling and pleading for tickets for
the Christmas morning distribution.
Practically all were accommodated.
Mr.. Paulsen was entrusted with the
distribution of a block of three hun
dred tickets, and he did not give them
out until he found out from each ap-
plicant something about them. 1t is
safe to say that not a ticket went into
sources where it was not needed, and
every child who was fortunate enough
TO be provided with the certificates
which will entitIe him or her to a gift
and fruit and candies at the big tree
next Friday, regarded themselves and
their parents in many cases, as ex-
tremely fortunate.
Quite number of children went to
the probation officers headquarters
accompanied by parents. Those who
went alone, however, were safely look
ed after, for Chief of Police Sanders
and a deputy sheriff or two found it
convenient through practically the en-
tire day to be the neighborhood of the
county building, either in person or
were represented by other members
of the police department or the sheriff's
force. No disorder occurred, and about
the hardest worked man in the build.
ing outside of the pro patton officer,
was the man who operated the elevator
in the county building. When asked
how many he had handled in the car
he replied: mot many less than a |
thousand, and then some"

BUSINESS. We know that to eat meal
hurriedly is liable to produce indiges-
ton. We know that the nerves must
have reasonable rest or they suffer.
Some people can drive the human ma
chine at a hard pace for years before
the final breakdown occurs.
Others of limited nerve capital soon
show the effects of lost sleep, unus-
ual exertion or worry
The census has discovered that SO
per cent OF men in the United States
are unmarried.
In other words there are eight mil
lion unmarried men over 20 and nine
million unmarried women over Is.
This presents an astonishing fact Of
the breaking up Of home life in Amer
lea We can draw interesting COM
parisons OF the manner Of living as
Judged by the death rate of persons
differently situated as to home life,
boarding houses and hotels.
One thing is sure, we can not have
individual likes and dislikes respected
in a restaurant or hotel
1t certainly aids digestion to eat the
things we like as a general proposition.
The nerves that appreciate the SAVIOR
OF food have a powerful influence on
the nerves presiding over digestion.
What has this to do with the speed
mania, you will ask? Well, we know
that no one can eat rapidly and es-
cape some indigestion. unless the
stomach activity is at least up to nor
NAL. It is a general statement that
rapid workers are rapid eaters And
we Americans are certainly rapid
workers.
In the state of New York outside of
cities of Buffalo and New York City,
the morality statistics worked out by
Prof. Wilcox of Cornell University
show that the death rate of unmar-
ried men is IS per cent greater than
that Of married men. Similarly un-
married women show mortality 21
per cent higher than married women.
Hence it is safe to say that unmar-
r1ed women do not lead the reckless
hasty life that men do.
have said nothing about the enor-
nous loss of life and great number of
accidents caused by automobiles,
trains, fast horses and the trolley cars.
Everyone is familiar with these per-
nicious results speed, but the in
ternal troubles caused by living a fast
and reckless life are more apparent to
the medical observer.
AS a general summary of the price
we pay for speed we may include:
loss of innocent, care-free babyhood,
robbing older children of that peace of
mind essential to bodily and spiritual
growth, we hasten destruction of oeau-
ty in young women and strength and
in young men. We ruin the
peace OF mind of men and women in
middle life and even the charm and |
serenity Of old age must give way be- |
fore this modern monster.

LITTLE KINGDOM IS
NEUTRAL IN WAR
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Dec. 20-The Prince of
Liechtenstein, whose neutrality has
just been solemnly proclaimed in Eng
land, rules over kingdom containing
So square miles of territory andSabout
10000 persons. 1t lies between Austria
and Switzerland, and is shut off by
almost impossible mountains from the
former.
The principality, however has been
closely allied to Austria Hungary for
many years. The capital is Vaduz,-
population 1,300-but the senate and
appeal court sit in Vienna, the affairs
of the reigning houss are conducted
3y the Chancellery in Vienna, and the
customs are under the control of
Austria under a treaty. The inhabi-
tants are not liable for military SER
vice.
Prince John II. Of Liechtenstein,
who is now rs years old and has
reigned for 81 years, is an absentee
monarch. He seldom visits his king
dom, preferring to hold his court at
his magnificent palace in Vienna, or
in one of his SO castles and country es-
tates in Austria. Although he is .
sovereign in his own principality, he
is subject in Vienna, and sits in the
Austrian House of Lords. He is
wealthy. His picture gallery in Vienna
is one Of the finest on the Continent,

Motto: Haste makes waste.
BY Horny serst, NJ. ..

Motto: Haste makes waste.
Italian proverb: He who goes slow,
goes long and goes far.
Bible text from first epistle Of Paul
to Timothy, chapter 8. verses to H.:
"5. Perverse disputfngs of men of
corrupt minds, and destitute Of the
truth, supposing that gain is godlineEs:
from such withdraw thyseR.
"6. But godliness with contentment
is great gain.
81 For we brought nothing into this
world. and it is certain we can carry
nothing out.
"s. And having food and raiment let
us be content Herewith.
"9. But they that will be rich fan
into temptation and a snare, and into
many foolish and hurtful lusts, which
drown men in destruction ana perdi-
ton.
40. For the love OF money is the root
of all evil; which while some coveted
after, they have erred from the faith,
and pierced themselves through with
many sorrows.
III. But thou. O man of God, flee
these things: and follow after right
eousness, godliness. faith, love, pa
tience, meekness.'
