For fall he must, like Lucifer never to hope again. In other words, we are all of us sometimes known for what we are, and the man who thinks he can bluff it out to the end of his life on any other basis must needs to die young to realize on his deception. And what we are in truth depends on what truth there IS in us-in the very heart of us.

 Praises American Ideals.
 In the face of the belief that he must have spoken jocularly or in metaphor when he suggested that the United States raise fund of $100,O0O, 100000 and buy Belgium from the Germans setting her free, John Wanamaker stood by his guns, asserted that he had spoken in all seriousness and re- iterated his belief that the idea Is en- tirely practical.
 Few of those who heard MT. Wana- makers address in Philadelphia were willing to be quoted publicly in ~riti- cism of his suggestion, but many of them spoke of it as visionary, imprac- tical and utopian.
 Informed of this end of the general belief that he either had been joking or had not stopped to consider the stag gering magnitude of the thing he sug- gested, Mir. Wanamaker said he had spoken in all seriousness and elaborat- ed somewhat on the central idea.
 Mir Wanamaker's statement follows

The new product contains nutritive qualities equal to square meal. The experiments are being carried on by the municipal commission for the feed ing of poor school children.
 Other German cities, following Der lin's example, attach great importance to the new food product. As all the component parts of the new food are derived from imports from foreign countries, the home productions are in no way drawn on or depleted.

If it be question of good gold dollars and the lives and homes of millions of men, l would go to any length to sac rifice the dollars rather than the men and the homes.
 Hitherto all of these countries have been most friendly with the United States. A war among them. I feel, is q war among thousands of my personal friends, and so it becomes my war and my pain and my sorrow, and inasmuch as America is the only country in the world that can stand up in the midst of all this carnage and say it must stop, and we will do anything that is necessary to stop it-I take the risk of being misunderstood and criticised by giving the country something to think about to find the best way possi- ble.

Praises American Ideals.

Americans have the reputation of being chasers of the mighty dollar, but even in business there is something else in America.
 Our forefathers had a passion for liberty, for freedom of conscience, for the individual rights of man, as against the autocracies of Europe and the con- tinent. With all our tremendous en- ergieS in business in America, high ideals are not lacking, and there are greater things than the accumulation of wealth. It would be. e.an everlasting glory to America to call off the great war and the great expenditures of money. We can afford to do anything rather than to do the one thing that we never will do, which is to lower the American flag ny one-quarter of an inch for any nation in the world
 There is certainly q great deal of mystery that surrounds the causes for the war and its continuation after a year and the deadlock that has existed for some time past

C. A. Green and Levi Braswell, both
white men, who on November 4 en-
gagged in an ARRAY in which a knife
and a revolver were used and from
which each suffered to some extent,
were placed on trial in the court of
record yesterday morning at 10
o'clock, and last night at 6 o'clock
both had been convicted by jury Of
having engaged in an affray, or were
guilty as charged. They were not
sentenced.
The progress Of this case was
watched with considerable interest.

northwestern part OF the city, and
Green, former deputy sheriff, but
engaged at the time as a collector,
and disagreement over reports
which are said to have been circu-
lated. Braswell blamed Green for
making certain assertions, and the
testimony showed, went to a store
where Green was employed to ask
about it. From that time the trouble
seemed to have had it's inception, and
later on, meeting on <eld, the
trouble soon broke out in earnest,
Braswell making use of a knife and
cutting Green in several places, while
Green, in defending himself, pulled
a pistol and fired couple of shots
One of them grazed Braswell's head
but that was the extent of his IN

day.
The case occupied very near all the
time of the court yesterday. Green
and Braswell were both represented
by attorneys, and were ably defend
ed, while the county solicitor was
called upon to. prosecute both OF
them. Green prosecuted Braswell
while the latter sought to have the
whole blame placed on Green, and the
result was, each of them were de
clared guilty.

Diversity the Crops
In West Florida.

Diversification Of crops il what ap-
pears to be most needed in West
Florida at present. Tits has been
made sufficiently clear to warrant
this admonition on the part Of The
Journal.
In this fertile country and with the
excellent climate which we enjoy
there should be something growing
on the farm every week IN the year
Stock food Of various kinds can be
grown here in profusion and there il
no good reason why the farmers
should not be able to keep their
stock fat all the year.
Stock pay well. The diversifcatiou
Of crops means plenty of good stock
in the country. 1t means plenty OF
meat and plenty of bread, plenty Of
milk and plenty Of butter, plenty Of
syrup, peas, potatoes, canned fruits
vegetables and everything necessary
to round out three good meals pei
day. That done there can be no rea.
sonable excuse for kick on the part
Of any tiller Of the soil.
This article is not based upon more
presumption. 1t is based upon facts
made plain to those who have at
tended the various agricultural fair
of West Florida this fall. Thos'
farmers who have diversified thei
crops have proven themselves to b
The most prosperous and have hat
decidedly the best exhibits before tn
public.
The agricultural shows have BEEF
more than q SUCCESS If they have IN
creased the desire Of the farmers TO
more and better crops.
BY all means let the crops be di
versifed throughout this blessed Ian
of ours.
