The Cattle Tick is Making It's
Last Stand IN West Florida.

The cattle tick is making its last stand in West For-
d. For two weeks farm specialists connected with
the agricultural department of the Louisville Nashville
railroad have been campaigning in the counties between
Pensacola and Tallahassee and they have aroused such an
enthusiasm among the farmers for diversified farming ana
eradication of the cattle tick among the cattle rasers that
there be doubt but the tick will be eliminated
within the of year and the farmer will grow crops
that will be profitable to him than those formerly
produced
These specialists, many of whom have been IN the
government service have told the farmers what the cattle
tick doing their cattle how it prevents them market
ing their stock prices than double what they are
procuring and how they by unity Of action erad
cate the tick and make West Florida of the chief
cattle raising sections of the south.
Happily these specialists were able to point to some
particular each county who had been able to mar
ket his cattle price almost three times great as
that secured by his neghbor In every instance the for
raiser had dipped his cattle They had concrete
examples at which TO point
This week these come into Escambia county.
They will spend the week here telling the people of the
benefits be derived from tick eradication and dversi
fed farming. They know whereof they speak and have
educated farmers and cattle raer in many counties and
states of the south Escamba should get the maximum
benefit from these meetings. Every should attend
the lectures. Because he is farmer of
cattle is for his absence He will be benefited
by the change of conditions and it to his interest be
at the meetings held in his community.

MY TRUE LOVE.

My true love hath my heart, and I
have his,
BY just exchange one for the other
given;
hold his dear, and mine he cannot
miss;
There never was better bargain
driven;
His heart in me keeps him and me in
one,
Ny heart in him his thoughts and
senses guides;
He loves my heart, for once it was
his own,
! cherish his, because in me it bides.
His heart his wound received from
my sight;
My heart was wounded from his
wounded heart;
For as from me, on him his hurt did
light,
So still methought in me his heart
did smart;
Both equal hurt. in this change sought
our bliss,
Ny true love hath my heart, and I
has his.

VIII Vote on .'Rossv.n

Petitions are being circulated ask
ing the city council to call an election
to vote upon the question of keeping
the town cow, as well as her coun-
try cousins from roaming the streets
of Milton at all hours of the day or
night. This is a move in in the line
of progress and should have the
hearty support Of the voters Of Mil
ton if put up to them. It is doubt
full if there is another town of the
size and Importance Of Milton in the
entire Gulf Coast country that per-
mits cattle to run ad ibitum over
their streets, walks, parks and park
ing. We hope the council viii call
this election and that the progressive
people of Milton will delegate "Bossy''
to her legitimate realms.-Milton Ga
zette.

Lakeland kilograms
Special Edition.

The Lakeland Telegram since its
beginning has been one of the states
most progressive dailies- progressive
both in politics and methods. When
the balance of the state press was
suffering considerably from the bust
ness depression which was so widely
felt in the south and east, The Tele-
gram astonished the newspapers of
the state by moving into new and up
to-date quarters. Apparently The
Telegram has never suffered from
conditions which have affected other
Florida newspapers.
And one does not have far to look
for the reason of this. The Progress
and Prosperity Edition just published
as a supplement to The Telegram is
an answer as to why The Telegram
has continued in a furnishing condi-
ton since its beginning. Every evil
dence Of prosperity is given in this
splendid magazine supplement, each
number of which has borne testimony
of the steady growth of Lakeland,
as well and to the business acumen
and the abilities which have gone to
make The Telegram one of the lead
ing newspapers of the state.
The Journal extends to Mr.. Heth-
erington and his co-workers the
heartiest congratulations on the fine
edition evidencing the growth of the
pretty and progressive Polk County
metropolis, and the splendid editorial
force which has contributed to the
success of this and other numbers of
The Telegram.

Question of Pensions
Always With Us.

The Daytona Morning Journal,
commenting on the disbursements of
pensions in Florida, among other
things, says:
The total expenditure of the state
Of Florida for the year 1915 was
So, 655, 525.24, as shown by the state
treasurer's report. More than one
fifth of this sum was paid out in
pensions, S745, 059.27. The pension
expenditures of the state were larger
than any other, except the general
revenue fund, from which are paid
the general running expenses of the
state. We paid more for pensions
from state funds than we paid for
education; more than our courts cost
US, including fees for witnesses and
jurors.
All this in addition to the amount
sent into the state by the federal
government.
There were in 1915 4,642 federal
pensioners in the state and the
amount paid to them was $1,027,-
368.89, which added to the amount
paid by the state to state pensioners,
makes a grand total of $1,782, 428.16
or approximately two dollars for ev-
cry man, woman and child of all
races in the state.
Florida has made provision for
those who served the South during
the great conflict, but it has done no
more than other southern states,
and none of these states has done
more than its duty. These old vete-
rams and the widows of the men who
fought for the Lost Cause are de-
serving of what the state is paying
them.
If Florida is to economic let it be
in some other direction.

PANTS AND TROUSERS.
DeFuniak Herald.

Pants are worn by men who work
for wages; trousers by those who
draw a salary. No civilized man can

all times may be found such valuables
as a knife. four or five nicltels, two
or more odd-sized buttons and an oc-

Service Clubs Must
Not Violate the Law.

For some time past it has been gem
eral comment about the streets that
many of the places holding licenses
as service clubs are openly violating
the law by the sale Of liquor. The
last Florida Legislature passed an act
that permits restaurants as well as
socalled restaurants to serve drinks
sent to their places by purchasers.
This license In no way permits the
proprietors OF such places to sell
liquors, which they are generally sup
posed to be doing, nor does it give
them any rights other than to serve
beer or whiskey which has been stored
In their places.
The service clubs must not be per-
mitted 60 violate the law. Such viola
lions only breed contempt for other
laws. The officers must do their duty,
Violators of the liquor laws, as well
as all other laws, must be prosecuted
vigorously. If there are violations of
the law they must cease and they viii
cease, for public opinion viii not per-
nit the gross violation of any law.
The present conditions cannot con-
tinue indefinitely.
The city commissioners could aid
greatly in solving this problem by
placing license tax and other re-
strictions upon service clubs that
would greatly reduce their number
and prohibit any but the legitimate
service clubs remaining in business.

Why Not a Pensacola
Park for Pensacola?

It is probable that the pecan nut is
destined to become the most impor-
tant of all the products of nut-bear-
ing trees in the United States, in the
view of the department of agricul
ture. Some of the finest pecans pro-
duced in the south are grown here in
Pensacola, and there is ready sale
for these nuts. In ten years, from
1899 to 1909, the pecan crop more
than trebled itself.
Like most such nut crops, small
orchard pays small profits. But there
is money IN the crop, if handled on a
scale at all extensive. There is, how
ever, way that the pecan could be
used to great advantage in this sec
ton, and that is by planting the trees
in the public parks. A number of
these trees in the various parks of the
city would lend to these parks an in
dividuality which few of them now
possess. The pecan and other native
trees would give to these public rec
reation centres something distinctive,
which few of them now have.
The palms are attractive, and are
now growing fairly WE'LL the poplars
are graceful and the growth has been
satisfactory. But would it not be a
good idea to have one park in PEN
sacola given over to native trees and
plants? Why not have Pensacola
park, taking for this one of the parks
not yet developed. Why not plant
here pecans, and black walnuts, and
holly, and dogwood, and magnolias,
and It'll, and other indigenous trees.
And why not add to the plants the
yellow jessamine and the wild white
rose and the laurel, which grow so
well in this section, and are so beau
tiful.
We do not need to initiate South
Florida, or to model our parks on
those of cities farther north. There
is enough beauty of our own, with
out going beyond our own section TO
find it. Let US have one park where
is gathered together the trees and
the plants that belong distinctly to
Pensacola.

WAR UPON PAIN!

Pain is visitor to every home and
usually it comes quite unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every emer-
gency if you keep a small bottle
of Sloan's Liniment handy. 1t is the
greatest pain killer ever discovered.
Simply laid on the skin-no rubbing
required-it drives the pain away. 1t
is really wonderful.
Mervin II. Soister, Berkeley, Cal,
writes: "Last Saturday, after tramp
ing around the Panama Exposition
with wet feet. l came home with my
neck so stiff that 7 couldn't turn. I
applied Sloan's Liniment freely and
went to bed. To my surprise, next
morning the stiffness had almost dis
appeared, four hours after the second
application I was as good as new"

Adventures Are for
the Adventurous.

When one is young, one is always
ripe for adventure.
The mirage world stretches fresh
and fair, and at every turn of the
road the heart throbs, and the eye
brightens at the possibility of full
illment of drean1s-dreams rife with
wonderful achievements and more
wonderful situations.
In the heyday Of life, when the
pulse beats quick and the heart and
brain are INFESTED, nothing seems too
fantastic for belief; no quest too re-
mote for the journeying.
It is not until, having wandered
down devious ways, and having been
lost in the tangled forests Of doubt
and haunted by the shadows of fears,
one begins to lose faith in the lure of
adventurous questing.
After one has picked poisonous
flowers and has drunk of bitter
waters along the way; again and
again has found the lordly palaces
and the Forests Of Beauty but parts
of a mirage world, and the reckoning
lights but Will o. the Wisps, leading
to paths of disillusion and disappoint-
ment-then only does the heart grow
weary and long for quiet ways and
peaceful scenes.

The Tick Must Co

ing IN Bombay. By unanimous vote
Mr.. Cattle Tick was declared to be
an undesirable and from now on he
will have to be mighty careful or be
forced to take a bath that will end
his profit-sucking life. The farmers
in every community should unite and
wage relentless war until cattle
ticks in Holmes county as as "scarce

Preparedness and American
Patriotism and Patriots.

=
What is patriotism We boast of
love Of country, loyalty to the flag,
our sense of patriotism. But what,
after all, do we mean? Are these
mere lip-words -verbiage to cover
careless thought and surface ideas?
Or when we speak of patriotism and
loyalty and service to our country,
do we mean conservation to an ideal
love of Patria--the land of our
forefathers, the home of our chill
dren.
When we speak of preparedness,
what do we mean? Preparedness of
who, of what, what for? Do we mean
preparation of ourselves for the de-
tense of our country, as well as
preparation of the defenses of that
country--for these inevitably must
go together. Or do we mean the
preparation of The Other Fellow?
Service to our country means SER
vice Of ourselves, else we do not
serve, we are served; we do not de-
fend, we are defended; we do not pre-
pare, we are prepared for.
In advocating preparedness pro-
gram for the United States President
Wilson is not only doing the expedi-
ent thing, the same thing, the wise
thing. He is doing what would seem
to be the only thing.
Today this country is really facing
a grave situation. It has been head
lined, and editorialed, and para
graphed, and news-storied. And now
it has come. It is here. We are face
to face with the horrid prospect of
war. It is n1enacing. It is brutal. It
is unlovely in all its physical aspects.
And it is glorious withal.
Because life is not greater than
honor. Peace is not more to be de-
sired than liberty.
Since Creation life has been laid
down that life might be sustained.
Civilization had its root in sacrifice.
Not in the slaughter of the driven-in
the valorous souls who go forth to
fight for that which is their faith,
whichever it may be, the world has
its great hope.
When we talk of war today, what
do we mean by war? The buckling
on of our arTnor and the going forth
to battle, at the country's call? Or
do we mean only the sending out to
the field of battle and to the high
seas, the human machines of war
the men whom we have hired with a
silver wage?
These men are our bulwark. For
this they have been trained. But not
alone to these for liberty must we
look.
If upon these alone we depend for
adequate defense, our country is
doomed.
If we mean, when we speak of pre-
paredness, the preparation of the in
dividual, who ever he may be, as we'll
as increased Notifications, increased
armament, we are patriots. If we
think of preparedness in any other
way, than preparation of all for the
defense of this land of liberty, we are
no longer free. Autocracy has then
taken root in what our forefathers
meant should be a republic, and
which can only continue to be repub-
lie through the preservation of the
ideals of liberty on which this gov
eminent was founded
