III. Degradation of Matter.

II we examine the life history of
any substance with sufficient knowl-
edge and sufficient care, says the En-
g1neer, We shall find that nature pro-
Vides means and forces that little by
little are turning that substance into
dust. The manipulations of man
greatly assist In the process. But ma
ture itself is always active In it and
even without mans aid is quite COM
petent to achieve the task. At times
We strive to hinder the process, as, for
example, when we apply paint to iron
work in order to prevent 1t from rust
Ing. But we can hinder it only for a
time, and even then we merely check
the degradation of one substance by
degrading another. Thus we have con-
stantly to renew the paint on our iron
work. The former coats disappear
wholly or In part, and the material Of
which they were composed has ..Ened
to dust. We may accordingly look
forward to time when all matter will
be uniformly distributed as dust
throughout space, a condition that, &C.
cording to the nebular hypothesis,
actually did prevail at one time, before
the universe, as we know 1t, was
formed.

welcome the physicians of West Florida

profitable.
Then too, theatre parties, automobile

been arranged to round out the visitors
stay and make it complete.

Federal Loan Law
We make no apology for the space

farm loan law. The greatest need of
this section of Florida today is cheap
money on long time for farm devel-

this to the farmers of this section it
will benefit it more than any one

cause it is undeveloped. In countries

COTTON MADNESS.

With cotton making sensational adj
vances and selling for eighteen to eighteen
and half cents, or about six cents more
than last year, it is greatly to be feared
that Southern farmers will plunge heavily
in the fleecy staple next year.
Realizing the peril, a number of cotton
combat the tendency Agricultural col
leges, merchants, and newspapers are join
ing the movement, the success of which
however depends on the cooperation of the
southern farmer himself. "We are at
turning point in the economic history of
the South,' says writer in The Nations
Business, issued by the United States
Chamber of Commerce in Washington
speaking along these lines. "Are we to go
forward or back?"
Here in Florida we are learning the les
son of diversifcation But we are still a
very long ways from raising all our foods
and feedstuffs. To go back to the one
crop now would be merely putting off the
great day still further.
Here in Pensacola for instance, we inn
port, from other states, over a hundred
thousand dollars worth of butter a year
nearly 500, 900 of corn and feeds; and un-
told quantities of meats, canned goods,
and vegetables.
Cotton, because it is scarce and condi-
tions are abnormal, is high now-and
therefore it looks profitable; but fertilizer
is also high, due. to abnormal conditions:
and if we make cotton a main crop, instead
OF surplus crop, the increased production
will lower the price, while the farmers
cost of living-buying everything under
the old system instead of raising twill
rise and drive them into mortgages and
bankruptcy.
Cotton for this part of the South, may

There is no use backing dying champion
The king is dead-long live the king.
We are raising more things and buying
fewer things than ever before-and that
after all is the true test of prosperity: not
how much you make, but how little vou
spend. d
Cattle and hogs are the great industry
for this region. They will furnish the cash
crop, as cotton did, and they will build ur
the ground as cotton did not It is indeed
the most amazing argument in a circle the
world has ever seen. this cattle business

Growing Debt of Cities

Growing Debt of Cities
The Saturday Evening Post. calls
attention in a leading editorial to the
alarming increase in the debts of
cities in this country. While of course
large sums are being used for per-
manent improvements of various
kinds, there are still many leaks. At
! tention is called to the fact that un-
der the provisions of the charter un-
der which st. Augustine is now be-
| ing operated and managed the piling
up of annual deficits is an impossi-
bility. If the present charter is al
lowed to stand it means that st. Au-
gustine will be free from debt by the
end of 1917, a decided and positive
achievement for the new city admin
istration.
Referring to the growing debt Of
cities the Saturday Evening Post
says: mot only does the most OF
government in cities having. 10000
or more inhabitants now exceed the
cost Of the federal government, but
| the net Indebtedness of such cities
is now at least two and a half times
that of the federal government. There
are 204 such cities at present. The
census bureau has comparable re

GIRLS INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL,

sonville Metropolis asks why the industrial
school for girls, for which the legislature
voted $4,000 over a year ago, has not been

The reason for the delay, State Treasurer
Luning has ascribed (D to the amount OF
money expended on the reform school for
boys and the hospital for the insane; and
- to the amount of money expended on
the determination of citrus canker. the boil
weevil and taking the States census
The statute provided for the building o1

rotten deal as we received at the
hands of Perkins. He either does
not know the game or else he de-
liberately tried to favor the Ia
homa team.
I'VE had the ball one foot from
the goal line. The players got
together and planned their next
play. The quarterback was to
simply stretch out beneath the
center's legs and lay the ball over
the line. 1t was an easy play.
ION such play as that, the
fullback must stay four yards
back of the quarter. We execut-
ed the play properly, but Perkins
charged that the fullback had
pushed the quarter through. Can
you imagine the fullback running
up four yards and assisting on
play where the quarter simply had
to lay down to win the touch
down?
And IL we really had made
misplay, the rules called for ID
yard penalty. Perkins only gave
us five yards. All of the Tacoma
rooters who were near the side
lines declared that we made the
touchdown properly. All of our
players believe that Perkins al
lowed his loyalty to the Tacoma
team to influence his decisions"
If the touchdown had been al
lowed, the visitors would have
won the game.
The Hoquiam-Aberdeen team
was so incensed over the game
that they refused to occupy box
seats at the Hello Frisco" show
at the Tacoma theater after the
game, although the seats had been
reserved for them. They show
