Az PER CENT FOR FARMERS.

If the farmers are able to borrow money |
at AZ or 5 per cent interest, as announced
bv the Farm Loan Board, which is now
drawing I'D its final plans, new era IN
AGRICULTURAL finance will indeed be opened.
The low rate is due to the fact that
bankers have offered to take millions OF
dollars of bonds at four per cent, and the
MARGIN between the rate on the bonds ana
the rate paid by the borrower is fixd by law
at one Der cent or under. There is no
reasonable doubt that four per cent bond
of this, character can be placed at par, and
that the expense of doing business can be
kept within one-half of one per cent,
making the cost of the loan to the farmer
four and haH per cent.
AS indicating the influence OF the rural
credits law on the country, may be men
toned the loan strike a few weeks ago by
Montana farmers, whereby country banks
were forced to lower interest rates. In an
ticipation of loans at five per cent, the
farmers refused to borrow from the country
banks, but calmly sat down and said they
would wait until their own land banks were
organized The banks reduced the interest
charges.
But is not only the fact that our farmers
can get money at lower interest rate-it
is the fact that they can get it at ALL that
means so much to the agricultural develop
ment of the country. Hitherto the small
farmer has found it extremely difficult in
certain places to borrow money even on in
flated terms. The new rural credits law
will put agriculture on practically the same
basis as railroads which if they are sound
can get credit, no matter in what section
they are located. Farmers borrowing up tc
so per cent of the carefully appraised value
of their property, will also get credit, at {
uniform rate, no matter in what section.
Lowering the cost of living is one of th'
first results of the rural credits we may log
ica1ly expect. Foodstuffs are high becaus'
the demand is greater than the supply. De
veloping more acres will increase produc
ton, and while enabling more farmers t.
make living will, at the same time, lowe
prices to the consumer.

GREECE'S SAD PLIGHT.

Greece, in her international straits, is de-
serving of sympathy.
The Germans and the Bulgarians kid
mapped her troops in the Kavala district,
and now the allies have demanded that the
Greek fleet be turnd over to them.
Last year the allies were so anxious for
Greece to enter the war that they offered
her Smyrna, the coast of Asia Minor, GER
tain islands in the Aegean, Cyprus and
northern Epirus.
Now they offer her nothing. What with
the internal dissension, lack of pay, and
loss of morale, the army has so run down
that it would not be of much use. Besides
it is not needed.
And yet if Greece stays out of the war,
her chances for the future are still more
doubtful

CATS CONDEMNS HIMSELF.

Cats, having bo1ted, is not even
following the letter of the Democratic
party. He has never followed its spirit
The Democratic national platform con-
tains this plank:
Whoever, by arousing preJudices OF
racial, religious, or other nature, creates
discord or strife among our people SO as
to obstruct the wholesome process OF uni
fcation, is faith1ess to the trust which the
privileges of citizenship repose in him and
disloya1 to his country"
Of the FIVE candidates who contended
for the primary nomination of June 6, which
of them violated this cardinal principle?
Reasoning as he did, it would be mir
ac1e if Cats had not bolted the Democratic
party, whose principles he abhorred, whose
presidential nominee he is said to have
slandered Feeling himself wronged, Cats
might have bolted, had he been a Demo
crat, but he would never have bolted pre-
maturely. Not being Democrat, he seized
the first opportunity to split the party and
exalt the negro vote to balance of power
thereby sowing the seeds of racial discord

WAR-DEvELoPER OF NATIONS.

The present war, like every other, will
bring about closer relations between the
peoples Paradoxical as it may Sound, civ
ilization is built upon wars-even.as Chris
tianity was established by the Crucifixlon.
Battle overcame the furious and futile re-
serve of the cave man, invading armies
obliterated boundaries and conquest
brought the sons of men to know each
other.
One of the first results of the present
war will be the tunnelling of the English
channel, connecting England and France.
The idea has long been entertained. Plans
were drawn up as early as 1884. In 1869
more surveys and explorations were made,
and finally in 1913 the project was again
revived British prejudices, British reserve,
British fear always stood in the way.
The submarines, Zeppelins and areo-
planes have demonstrated that, tunnel or
not, England can no longer be insular. The
war, therefore, marks a certain progress.
Sentiment in England is accepting the idea
! of the tunnel, which can be built for
| SS0,00Q,O00, sum to raise which in Eng
| land France and Belgium no serious diff
culties are expected.
In planning the tunnel, England is think
ing and will think of possible notifications
without fear of submarines or airships; an
army corps day could be transported
through it, and the navy left free to attack
instead of protect conveys.
But military plans will bear fruit II
peace as we'll In 1911 2,8O8, 900 persons
passed between Germany and France
1864 500 between France and Belgium
Holland, but only 100000 crossed ths
channel between England and France.
The tunnel will bring the people closes
together, business will profit and war will
have broken down the terrible aloofness o
peace.

NEWCOMER NOTICES
WEEDS IN LOTS

Editor The Journal:
In looking around Pensacola I find
so many of the vacant lots and a good
many occupied lots that have grown
up to weeds and brush and rubbish
scattered all about and buildings di-
iapidated believe it would be good
idea to start cleaning up by first cut
ting down the weeds and by the time
we get that done it will look so nice
and such a vast improvement that we
will want to keep on until we get
entirely cleaned up. Now, this won't
cost anything only little labor on
our part, and it will all be done. If
we were one-half as enthusiastic
about keeping our city clean as we
are about baseball we would soon
have the most beautiful city in the
| world.
After making two trips around the
world have decided to make Pensa-
cola my future home. After visiting
a majority of the countries of the
world I have concluded that Florida
is the garden spot of the world, and
Pensacola is my ideal town of the
state. Let us clean up and then boost
and we will soon have a city of 100,-
600 inhabitants. What do you say?

REGISTER TO-DAY.

Todayis the last opportunity to register.
Registering for the primary is not enough
to qualify electors to vote in the election
on November T. Be sure, therefore, that
your poll taxes are paid and that you are
enrolled.
In ancient Thrace whippers-in were ap-
pointed by the state to drive everybody to
the election booths to vote, and in Chile to-
day, it is penal offense not to exercise suf-
frage, if qualified.
The coming election is of extraordinary
importance to us, because of the racial pos
sibilities which are involved; it is your
sacred duty, therefore, to express your con-
victions at the polls.

SPIRIT OF PROGRESS.

Meeting in Quincy, the other day. repre-
sentative citizens of Gadsden county
showed how completely they are given
over to the spirit of progress, by unani-
mously endorsing the Apalachicola river
bridge and calling on the county commits
sioners to call a bond election.
This assures the bridge, for that Jackson
county would meet its share of the bond
issue, has long been known, and feeling IN
Gadsden county is known to be so favor
able that the election will most certainly
carry there as well.
One-fourth of the cost will be betrayed
by each of the two counties, the remaining
so per cent being met by the Federal road
fund.
Bridging the Apalachicola means the
removal of the greatest obstacle IN the
trans-F1orida highway, and an important
link in the Old Spanish Trail.
Tourist parties will motor between Jack
sonville and Pensacola in increasing num-
bers. Most of them will be, of course, sim
pie sightseers, but a number will come south
every year to seek out likely location tor
| an orange orchard or a cattle ranch or a
home in Sunshine Land, in which to seek
| refuge from the fearful winters of the
| north And seeing the country, tarry1ns
| by the roadside as the fancy strikes them
they will colonize and develop the entire
region.

A Good Man

A Good Man
AS every voter in the state knows,
w. V. Knott is a man of irreproach-
able character, of proved ability, and
staunchest Democrat. Every Demo-
crat who voted in the primary is
bound by oath to support him at the
polls on November z, and no Demo-
crat who did not vote in that primary
has a shadow of reason as Demo-
crat not to support him. Republicans,
Prohibitionists and Socialists should
and presumably will support their
respective party nominees; but unless
a good many thousands of Democrats
cease to be Democrats on November
z, w. v. Knott will on that day be
elected governor of Florida by an
overwhelming majority.-St. Peters

Quarantine Hogs

Reports coming from certain Sec
tions of the county indicate that hogs
are dying with cholera. In these
cases it will be necessary for the
owners to isolate all affected hogs,
and keep them in quarantine and al
so remove the well ones from the in
fected pens, and thoroughly dfsin-
feet these pens before using again,
if the disease is to be kept from
spreading. By taking these precau-
tions, it will be possible to keep the
disease well under control, while II
the matter is left to drift along the
probability is that it will spread and
become general throughout large
areas. This serum can be secured by
addressing the State Board of Health
at Jacksonville.-Milton Gazette.
