Answers the "No Patriot ;"

Answering the article by A. W.
Johnson of Walla Walla, who wrote
that he held that human life is the
most precious thing in the world, and
the basic principle OF patriotism is
murder. MN There are many things
worth living for. but there is nothing
worth dying for" ETC., Rev. r. w.
Mason, pastor of the Mantle Metho-
dist church of Spokane SAYS in part:
Life is precious? Yes; but not
1.-THE most precious thing in tie
world" Truth. honor. virtue are
more precious than human life, and
It seems to me that any man who is a
man would surrender his life rather
than these principles.
'tMr johnson says 10 truth, "Those
who have reached the fullest measure
OF life have been ready to die for
some cause" Yet, he says that there
is nothing In this life that he weuld
die for. Judging the man by what he
says, only one conclusion can be
reached"

some OF the trees took but an hour or

Cattlemen's Convention At
D'Funiak Springs

Already the campaign for tick eradica-
ton and diversified farming is beginning
to bear fruit in the increased interest in
farming and cattle raising in this section,
and this interest will be crystallized into an
active campaign, with the cattlemen's con-
vention, which is to take place at DeFuniak
Springs on Wednesday, March 10Th.
The convention has been called on re-
quest of large number of cattle raisers
of West Florida, and others interested in
the general up-building and prosperity of
this section With the cattlemen of West
Florida organized it should require but
short time to place this section in the front
ranks of cattle raising in the South.
To commence systematic eradication
work at once would mean that West Flor
ida would be free of the tick by the first
of the coming year, according to those who
have studied the situation. When this is
accomplished the quarantine against stock
from this section will be lifted and the
price will Immediately advance, and cattle
men and farmers will be able to raise their
cattle at good profit, as we'll as place them
on the market where the best prices may be
secured.
Ali members of boards of county COM
missioners of the several West Florida
counties are expected to be present at the
convention in DeFuniak Springs, besides
all farmers and others interested in the de-
velopment of this section.
What we send away would put up %
schools, % churches, would pay 125 teach
ers, % preachers, and still leave $3.50 900
to paint fences, houses, etc, and make other
improvements, according to statisticians on
the amount of money that we send away
for farm products and feed for our live
stock.
These subjects, too, will come under dis
cussion at the meeting at DeFuniak, which
there is little doubt will be large in number
and productive of good results for the state

Housing That
Breeds Disease

Why are tuberculosis and contagious
diseases especially prevalent among the
poor of the tenements?
Not Que, but number of factors are
responsible. Congestion, poverty, immor-
atty, drunkenness. lack of cleanliness, inn
pure air and poor foods-these are some
of the causes.
Bad housing is one of the most important
factors. When the home conditions are
bad, ideals and ambition are replaced by
carelessness, drunkenness and immortality.
What is meant by bad housing? Does
it mean the ramshackle, dilapidated frame
building facing some ally or the old beauti-
full structure once the home of some
wealthy resident, but now occupied by half
a dozen families?
Bad housing means both For in both
types there are dark and unventilated
rooms, inadequate toilet and sink facilities,
lack of proper water facilities, defective
plumbing, inadequate fire escapes, damp
basement or low attic rooms that are occu-
pied, dark stairs and Railways and an exces-
sive number of occupants per room.
Bad housing means housing that breeds
disease.
