Poor Bill Pearce.

-"Bill" Pearce, one of the popular
members of the city fire department,
is again in bad luck. While he was
at dinner on Wednesday the fire
alarm sounded, and "Bill" made for
the first automobile in sight to go to
it. The machine happened to be
Judge Calhoun's Ford. Bill started
to crank it and it slipped up on him,
breaking his right fore arm. The
break was in same place as former
break, or two, and is painful and SER
| ious. Too bad.

Two Ways to Spell Success

Pensacola Journal: Pushing,
smashing, tireless effort is one way
for a young man to attain success.
Another way is by pull"
Most young fellows wouldn't mind
a quill" It's an easy way of rising
above the rest. The protecting influ-
ence of a rich father or friend, APP
peals to both the ambitious and the
lazy.
But then, some day, the pull" may
be gone and the fellow who had it
won't be so well off as the one who
worked for his place.
The trouble with a pull" is it takes
the impetus out of ambition.
The glory about push" is the
training it gives in self-help and in
dependence.

Fl6rida's delegation in Congress
voted solidly to uphold the presidents
position in his negotiations with for.
eign powers and especially belligerent
nations. These who opposed the
president were members, largely
from western states, who were play
ing politics and wanted the support
of the hyphenated Americans back
home and who constitute large part
of their constituency. Now isn't
this a queer time to play politics?
A time when danger confronts the ma
ton every day, and new dangers are
arising hourly?

in the uplift of humanity will re-
ceive knowledge that will be of NEST
Unable value in all future years
Each of the above specialists will
head a party which will be composed
of local workers of various denomina-
tions. These two crews will 90 sim
ultaneously in different directions,
and together will touch IS vities. Two
days are to be given to nearly each

Effect of Mental Atmosphere

Orlando Reporter-S Star: The Pen
sacola Journal recently made a rather
remarkable discovery. In January
a person named Lord who is running
for congress in Georgia announced his
platform and few weeks ago Y. L.
Watson of Quincy announced for con-
gress from the Third Florida district.
The Journal prints the Lord platform
ard the Watson platform in parallel
columns and they appear to be iden-
teal not only in thought but language.
Watson came from Georgia and it is
possible that the mental atmosphere
of his native state surrounds him still
and induces not only thought but Ian
guage similar to those of his fellow
Georgians.

Facts About
HOlStein Cattle

A Holstein cow in Vermont has es-
tablished a butter record of over thir-
ty-four pounds in thirty days. This
stands at the head of all official rec
ords of any breed. Some twenty
years ago Ed Sweeney, who then had
the Blackwell ranch, claimed that he
had a Holstein which produced over
thirty-five pounds in thirty days.
Three people swore to the record, but
it was not accepted by the Holstein
Breeders association, as the test was
not made under the auspices of the
association. The COY that Sweeney
owned was a granddaughter of Lady
Elgin and sired by Sam Davis Hol-
stein Saratoga, the first thorough
bred Holstein brought to Nevada.
At that time Holsteins were in bad
repute in Nevada, as it was claimed
their milk was too thin. Herman
Springmeyer, however, bought a bull
from Davis and his get gave Spring
meyer a string of such excellent
mixers that he issued a challenge to
any COW owner in the state to put
ten of his cows against any ten that
could be produced to have one weeks
milking contest for 81 900 a side. The
challenge was published for several
weeks in the Appeal, but no one ever
took it up.
OF late years the Holsteins have
demonstrated their superiority in
Nevada as hundreds of the descend
ants of old Saratoga are giving good
account of themselves on ranches in
this vicinity. Until some other breed
beats their butter record it is idle to
speak of their milk as thin.
Hundreds of Nevada ranchers are
putting aside their early prejudice
against the breed and stocking up
with black and white cattle.
They are the oldest known breed
in the world and are mentioned by
writer's contemporaneous with Julius
Caesar.
