TOO LITTLE ART IS TOO MUCH

Things move just as slowly-in New y ork
as they do in Pensacola sometimes.
At this. writing the metropolis is very
dismal over a matter of mail boxes of
which it has been some 1000 shy for two
and a half years-the same being taken
from the streets when the removal of div
ers lampposts, ETC., in Gotham left them
without visible means of support.
1t seems that the department hasn't been
able to decide upon a design that, incor-
porating both box and stand, will be a thing
of beauty and JOY forever; once, indeed,
the selection was made and New York
breathed hopefully, but there was a bureau
shake-up and the incoming chief belonged
to the post-impressionist school and not
the pre-Raphaelite, or 'tother way around
and countermanded the order, preferring
that New York's letters should go un-
mailed, even, than they should be posted
inartistically
How many miles out of their way the
Manhattanites must go in the aggregate
every day, as result of the scarcity of
boxes, to despatch their bills, mail orders
and billets-doux, is not known Certainly
a great rhany, and the annual loss in shoe
leather would stagger credulity not to men
ton the loss in time, which is money
The department is as artistically uncer-
tain or as uncertainty artistic as it ever was
and the bureau chiefs are like to be buried
beneath designs without ever finding way
out-the tragedy of the Babes in the Wood
in official life
But if modern invention isn't equal to the
| task, why doesn't the department borrow
an idea from antiquity? The stone lion Of
ancient Venice, down whose willing esopha
gus the secret letters for the Doges were
dropped, would prove an interesting addi
ton to the streetscape of any city.

CHRISTMAS BELLS

Ring out, you Christmas bells; east and
west, north and south, in home and office
and workshop; far asea and deep afeld, yea,
into the ails themselves to rich and poor,
blessed and wretched, good and bad and
worst of all-the Indifferent beat out
your call to the years greatest feast-the
glorihcation of little children-that men
may think of their own childhood, when
they hoped for better than they became.
Ring out, you Christmas bells, upon a
country that will be great as it deems itself
unworthy; upon prosperity that will be
golden as the people seek to deserve it;
upon a happiness that will be abiding as
they never cease to think it.
Ring out, you Christmas bells, upon
tortured land, that the martyrs, crouching
in their pits, may know they have not died
in vain if from their agony springs another
and purer world.
Ring out you Christmas bells; for more
than nineteen hundred years your music
has been sounding DER world that has
been always growing better, reaching, like
Jacobs ladder, from the cruel comfort OF
the stone, eyer heavenward : acclaim your
triumph anew-ring out, oh, ring outl

A CHRISTMAS PRAYER.

CThe following poetic gem is publish
ed by The Journal this Christmas
morning by special request).
Dear God. pray Thee, hear my prayer
As, on my knees, bow my head
Grant that dear mothers tears may
cease
AS tenderly she guards my bed.
Bring back that sweet and hopeful
smile
That used to linger on her face,
And let me hear the lullaby
That in fond memory l trace
know. dear God. why mothers heart
Is breaking-why she sits and signs
I know what makes her bow her head.
Why scalding tears bedim her eyes
l know and will not ask. dear God,
For candies. toys and Christmas tree
But just one prayer please answer
Is Cod
Bring daddy back to her and me.

New ways Of serving ordinary foods
which have now become luxuries-
will help the housewife in her hard
economics.
Potatoes with cheese can be served
in place of meat and pbtatoes. Bake
six or seven medium potatoes and re-
move the pulp without crushing the
shells. Mash and mix with one tea
spoonful of butter, one-half cup milk,
one cup grated cheese and salt and
pepper to taste. Beat with fork until
light and creamy and fill the potato
skins, dust the top with grated cheese
and any remaining potato and brown
in the oven.
Graham fruit cake made without
eggs, can be served with a sauce as a
pudding. Mix three cupfuls graham
flour, two cupfuls white flour. two cup
fuls sugar, one cupful molasses, two
cupfuls sweet milk, one heaping tea
spoonful salt, all kinds spice. one
pound raisins. Other fruits or nuts
may be added if desired.

THE LIMIT IN BATTLEsH1Ps

A thirty percent. increase in displace-
ment, ten percent. increase in speed, and
fifty percent. increase in gun power, are
planned for our new battleships
The Colorado, Maryland, West Virginia
and Washington, for which contracts have
been given, will displace $4,000 tons, have
a 21-knot speed, and carry eight 16-inch
guns. Three new battleships are proposed
to displace $4,000 tons, have 23-knot
speed, and mount twelve 16-inch guns.
No European nation has ships anywhere
approaching these monsters. The Queen
Elizabeth, of the English navy, is of only
q 800 tons and carries only eight 15-inch
rifles Japan however, is constructing one
battleship nearly as big as the ones planned
by the United States, and larger than those
for which contracts have already been
placed.
But the United States, as it will set the
pace for the world will have reached prac-
tically its limit-because of the Panama
lanai

ARMOR PLATE PLANT

After a bitter fight between private and
national interests, the latter won, and an
interior location is determined upon as a
site for the $11000000 government armor
plate plant.
Admiral Dewey, speaking for the special
board appointed to investigate the ques-
ton, laid down the general military prin-
ciple that mo supply depot, arsenal, nor
manufacturing plant Of any considerable
size, supported by War Department appro
priations for military purposes should be
established or maintained east of the Appa-
achian mountains, west of the Cascade or
Sierra Nevada mountains, nor within 200
miles Of our Canadian or Mexican borders,
and steps should be taken gradually to
cause to be moved, depots and manufactur-
ing plants already established in violation
of this military principle
Already Our preparedness sins are
those of commission as we'll as of OMISSION
To another Board is entrusted the ques
ton of deciding which of the following
sites, that fulfill the principal military
requirement of safety, is to be chosen:
Birmingham, Tuscaloosa and Gadsden,
Ala; Rome, Ca. Lomax, Cairo, and Me
tropolis, ILL.,; Evansville and Rockport,
llQ., hGOkuk, LOUISVILLE dllu hIuuICS-
boro, KY; Tulsa and Muscogee, Okla.
Elizabethton, Bristol, Chattanooga, Kings
port, and Knoxville, Tenn; Charleston and
Huntington, w Va; elmer, Tex
Before list of cities offering such diff
ferent and important advantages, the
Boards predicament may we'll be likened
unto that of the man who would be per
fectly happy with either of them were
'tother dear charmer away. We hope a
southern location will be chosen-that is
to say, we hope it will be to the best in
terests of the United States to place the
plant in the South. The Board, in making
its decision will consider the geological
character of the site, facilities for securing
raw material, and the labor market; be-
sides such industrial and economic ques-
tons as may be brought to light
Removing the vital essentials to national
protection from the eastern seaboard
where they are contained in radius of a
couple of hundred miles, to the interior, i:
great step in preparedness. The question
now is, will the private iron, steel, and mu
milton interests continue in their present
unprotected locations, or will they follow

Boring for Oil

The boring for mineral oil that is
now going on in several places in Flor
ida begins to be rewarded, as a 1000
foot well in Wakulla county has yield
ed this much treasured substance, as
well as gas. AS skilled experts as
those who tried for oil in Wakulla have
pronounced certain localities in the
east coast as promising and are bor-
ing for oil there. At a depth of a
thousand feet, or more, the geological
formation is probably the same all
over the state, and Florida is likely to
soon include oil and gas among her
mineral resources. The state will soon
be overrun by oil spectators, and
whether they find what they seek or
not, the money they will spend in their
probings win reach us all and be much
ppreciated.-Starke Telegraph.

The yearly report of cooperative
demonstrative work in agricultural
and home economics is out and the
showing made is a splendid resume
of Florida's growth along the lines
of better farming methods, stock rails
ing, and home building. The report
of so many pure bred cattle, hogs and
other animals being brought into the
state shows that Florida long-horns
and razor-backs are doomed to give
place to- better paying stock and
shows also that our farmers and other
citizens are waking up to the rich OPP
portunities that are placed within the
reach of all.-Ft. Meade Leader.

It's an encouraging sign, the increased
interest that is being taken in livestock, and
when the banks bring back an olive branch
like this, it shows that better times are in
store. In the Hattiesburg region there is
the same cut-over pine land that is char
acteristic of West Florida; a little colder
there, perhaps, than here; and the develop
ment of livestock entails difficulties that
we avoid; but livestocks the thing, for all
that, and so progressive agriculture is
