THE SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY.

Our old headline friend, Expect
Bremen in Ten Days." is back again.
What are you doing to boost Pen
sacola?
Tom Marshall still wants to be
told.
The removal of the stamp tax will
make it much cheaper to take out a
mortgage.
Old man Ripley says he wanted a
strike, and he certainly won't make a
hit if he resists the eight-hour law.
Even the Nashville Banner ought
to know that the reason why men
kiss girls is that paper is too high
to write love letters.
The police Of Pensacola, having
been bitten by the female prisoners
of the city, must now look out for
character assassins.
Women now practice law in Geor-
gia, but that state having gone dry,
they will never be admitted to the
bar in the fullest sense of the term.
'Icebergs the Deadliest Menace to
Ships" says headline. Too true;
and our own ship of state will do well
to steer clear of Hughes and Fair
banks.
There are plenty of sparrows in
Pensacola, although, according to the
Register, the storm drove them out Of
Mobile. Sparrows aren't the only
ones who prefer Pensacola.
A man is suing Ford for 81 ,00O,.
900, and Ford is suing the Chicago
Tribune for S1,000,000. Now if the
| Tribune will only sue the man who
| is suing Ford, for 100000, every.
thing will be perfectly lovely.
With people killing trees by acic
in the country, and character assas'
sins running loose IN the city, life il
Pensacola is beginning to take or
some of the characteristics of ar
Arthur B. Reeve story.
Can it be that the Germans are
"agin" the 100 per cent candi
date after all? A mule kicked mar
the other day, and he says he is go
ing to vote for Hughes; and soor
after, Zeppelin killed mule il
England. Now we hear that some
Zeppelins are coming to the United
States, and the undifuted one, will b.
waiting for them on the tower of TIT
Woolworth building, and singing tn,
sad refrain of the song entitled
Love me, love my mule"

F1orida's Summer Climate

Congratulations to Floridal It has
struck out straight from the shoulder
at the dense ignorance which prevails
in the north as to Florida's summer
climate. Probably nothing about the
south or in the south is more thor
oughly misunderstood than the
south's summer climate. There are
some portions of the South which are
hot in summer, but there are many
portions in which the summer climate
is far and away ahead of the eastern
and western summer climate" says
the Manufacturers Record, of Balti-
more, in an editorial on the FLORIDA
First" advertising campaign. The
Record gives a list of the Florida
First" advertising campaign.

HELP THE BLIND.

The humanitarian work. which R. w.
Goodhart, president of the National Bank
of Commerce, has undertaken, is especially
worthy of our support. AS local sub
treasurer of the B. F. B. Permanent Blind
Relief War Fund, he is receiving contribu-
tons to train the war-blinded victims so
that they can support themselves and
their families, in spite of their terrible
handicap.
What the relief organization has
already accomplished reads more like
some Arabian Nights miracle than the
plain statement of fact it is. Men have
been taken, almost crazed with the agony
of being blinded in their prime, and have
been taught to be as efficient workmen, in
certain lines, as if their eyesight were not
impaired. The joy of life has come back
to them, and their families have been
saved from pauperism, or worse.
The relief fund IS already organized in
several hundred cities and nearly every
state in the United States The large
minded, humane people of Pensacola have
so far responded nobly to Mr.. Goodharts
appeal, and we hope to see them support
this deserving charity still further.

LESSON FROM CHICAGO.
This is how Chicago stopped the auto
mobile horn and whistle nuisance:

This Is how Chicago stopped the auto
mobile horn and whistle nuisance:
every motor vehicle or motorcycle, while being
used upon the streets, alleys and public places OF
this city, shall be provided with suitable bell,
horn or other signal device, and it shall be unlaW-
full for any person any device which will not
produce an abrupt sound sufficiently loud to serve
as an adequate warning of danger, and 1T shall
be unlawful for any person to make or cause to be
made any unnecessary noise with any such bell
horn or other signal device, or to use the same
except as warning of danger.
After the ordinance was in effect a
year, the police department had this to say
about it: 1T has proved satisfactory to
both motorists and non-motorists, demon
strating that the wise use of an adequate
signal as warning of danger is the best
preventive of accident.

Democracy VS.. Demagoguey-

AS soon as Knots certificate of

be made by number of old-time

people will be given an opportunity to
listen to democracy instead of dema-
goguey.-Lakeland Telegram.

characterized by exhibits of
farm products in greater number

the earlier summer fairs and very
often provision is made for an ell
aborate stock exhibit. Enter
tainment features of many kinds
are provided, and provision IS
made for interesting addresses by
experts on topics of general in
terest. Usually provision is
made for the sale and exchange of
articles of all kinds, old and new,
from the farm, and local stores
are dacked out in the most ap-

is always one for the making of
liberal fall purchases by the Wis
