AFTER THE WAR.

Republican politicians say that our ex-
of trade will leave us after the war Sup
pose it does No evil will result, for Presi-
dent Wilson has anticipated such a crisis.
It was inevitable that vast surplusage of
gold and the 1oaning power set free by the
Federal Reserve Act should cause credit
expansion which, in the absence of fore
sight, would find us unprepared when the
inevitable contraction comes But part
of the Wilson program is to extend the
credit machinery of the United States to.
foreign countries to protect our business
men who have great loans and tremendous.
property holdings abroad, just as the Fed
eral Reserve Act safeguards them at home
Speaking about the Federal Reserve Act
James K. Lynch said Thursday when he
addressed the convention of the American
Bankers Association meeting in Kansas
City, "The Federal Reserve Act has made
the financial organization of the country
possible, and the preliminary steps to that
end have already been taken. This to my
mind is the great reason why the bankers
should work with the Act and not against
it; should try to make it succeed instead of
pointing out defects which might cause it
to fail, for in doing so they will not only
have strengthened the banking system, but
will have also strengthened the nation"
It is true that the Reserve banks have
been criticised by certain banks in the hnan-
cial centers which objected to the Reserve
banks absorbing the supply of bank ac-
ceptances; by small banks in remote dis
tricts complaining that the requirements
for eligible paper are too strict; and by GER
tain member banks which protest against
an enforced investment which carries no
immediate prospects of dividends, and re-
serve deposits on which no interest is paid.
But the country at large will not object to
measures of security, however extraordln-
airy; and as Mr.. Lynch points out condl-
tions for the past two years have been alb
| normal, and the objections noticeable now
will vanish entirely when the world re-
sumes the even tenor of its way. A fact
which no amount of criticism can disprove
is that bank deposits are larger than ever.
and there is more money in circulation
than ever before in the history of the coun-
try. And adverting to Our foreign trade
bank acceptances have for the first time
been made possible, by the Federal Re-
serve Act) as credit instruments in con-
nection with the import and export of mer-
chandise, and national banks are opening
branches in foreign countries.
Given ships to carry our trade and banks
to handle the credits in foreign countries
our commerce will be on quite different
| basis than it was four years ago, when i
had to depend on foreign bottoms ane
European drafts. Our imports will increase
after the war, and heaven knows we arr
badly in need of many necessary com
modities; but there will be no falling off il

Automobile owners would do well to

thrower or tack sprinkler or anything
like that, but he is certainly the
bright, particular jinx of Pensacola's
ioy-waggoners, Judging by the num-
Der of accidents that happen in his
presence. He witnessed the third au-
tonobile collision of the month at
Government and Palafox streets We'd
nesday. The first was about four
weeks ago when an aviation officers
car knocked a buggy into Chipley
Jones yard. The very next night,
Mr.. Brosnaham saw another accident
in front of his house on Spring street,
and now the Government street cpl
sode has earned for him the name
of "Trouble-Seer."

A LESSON FROM KENTUCKY.

A Kentucky farmer, R. L. Dryasdale, has
just received $4,000 for a carload of hogs.
He has shipped another car, but at the time
the Fulton Wireless, which chronicles the
event, went to press, he had not been ad-
vised of what it brought. But that's not
the point. With the first car of hogs, he
tried the following experiment:
He "hogged' down field of corn. He
weighed the hogs when he turned them into
the field, and then again when he took them
out, and they gained enough to make his
corn bring $35 an acre

Approved Drainage


The war department has approved
the plans for the drainage of the up
per st. Johns drainage district. This
is an action in which Fellsmere is more
or less directly interested. The dis
trict extends from the north boundary
of Fellsmere to Cocoa, distance of
about forty miles. The territory is
approximately fourteen miles wide,
lying between the Indian river and
the st. Johns, with an area of 263, 900
acres. Three main canals will be dug
between the two rivers 125 to $50 feet
deep. Throughout the district there
will be smaller laterals, in all about
$50 miles in length, which will supple
ment the main arteries. 1t is estimat-
ed that at least $4,000 acres will be
directly benefited by this development
and will be brought into the market
at a value of about 500 an acre. The
result will be the adding to the wealth
of the east coast in available very
rich lands nots less than $4,000, 900,
The preliminary work of bonding the
tract to raise the money will take
about six months and about two years
is estimated as the time required to
complete the canals.-Fellsmere Tri-

THE BUILDERS HAMMER

The very frank discussion the other day
in the Mobile Chamber of Commerce on
the subject, whats wrong with Mobile?"
is as the Register points out, healthy
sign, indicating that the public is getting
wiser, growing less dumb, and gaining in
courage"
The prelude to all progress is dissatis-
faction with things as they are. The real
trouble is seldom diagnosed at first and
the people who simply feel that something
is wrong, but don't know wha! it is, make
many false starts in the reform movement
before eventually they by indirection find
direction out Savanarola for instance
thought it was merely the presence of
gold and Jewels and fine rainent that
caused the wickedness in the world, and his
cure was to build bonfres of these vanities
but we know the trouble lies in the minds
Of men only, and the spiritualism of today
makes its appeal to the mind, not the mere
manifestations of mind. And so with
every reform of politics or economics or
mechanics.
What is holding back Mobile was
variously diagnosed as too much personal
politics, too much machine rule, too much
apathy. You will note that there was not
a word about the land not being adapted
TO profitable agriculture, to the city being
badly located with reference to the worlds
markets, to any wicked conspiracy Of in
terests to keep poor but deserving place
dOwn-the alibis wherewith unambitious
people seek to cover UP their own short
comings. The diagnosis may be wrong,
but it is nearer truth than any diagnosis
that has vet becu made: for the trouble is
not in things material, it lies in the minds
of the men of Mobile themselves.
We should not be devoting so much
space to discussing this phase of the ques-
ton were it not for the fact that the same
thing that is wrong with Mobile is wrong
with Pensacola. Are we too accustomed tc
our advantages to seize the opportuni
ties? Is it apathy? Is it because of per
sonal cliques?
Mind, we are not saying we are not get
ting along; Mobile is not saying it ism

merce discussion was analysed, appeared

LEARNING HOW.

Suppose the cotton crop is short-sup-
pose there is falling off in your money
crop ranging all the way from twenty-five
to seventy-five per cent Such a calamity
anywhere else-with winter coming on
would mean possibly life and death-cer-
tainly bitter misery; in Sunshine Land
however, the privations are much easier to
bear
But there is another side to the cotton
shortage-it is doing more to spread the
doctrine of diversifcation than anything
else. If cotton won't grow and if the weevil
make off with it when it does grow, the
planters of cotton will very soon seek fresh
fields and pastures new.
Such at any rate is what the progressive
farmers of Jackson county are doing. Re-
ferring to the cotton shortage, The Jour
nal correspondent at Graceville adds that
"the farmers are highly elated over the vel
vet bean, peanut, oat, rice, hay, sugarcane
and corn crops, which are good"
Inquiries are indeed being made for car
lot shipments A number of stock farms
have recently been established in the Grace
vile region, and b1ooded stock is being in
troduced. The largest velvet bean and pea
nut crop in the history of the place has been
raised-a partly conclusive answer to the
July storm.
Jackson county farmers may have to
4scrimp little-but their prosperity is easy
sto predict Diversihcation has arrived,

State Press Comment
Cattle Growers Association

The formation of this association
last week promises much for West
Florida.
This portion of the state cannot be
surpassed in the matter of raising
stock so far as natural advantages
are concerned.
The trip of many of our stock men
to Kentucky has resulted in increased
interest being taken in this business.
These men, an practical stock men,
found that West Florida offered just
as good opportunities for raising
stock, as does Kentucky, with the
added advantage of milder WHITES,
and much longer pasturage sea-
son.
All that is required is the freeing
of every portion of West Florida
from ticks, and the introduction of
pure-bred stock. 1t has been shown
that it is just as easy to raise an
animal that will weigh a thousand
pounds when two years old, as it is to
raise one that will weigh but 500
pounds.-Panama City Pilot.

A Corn Crop

A Corn Crop
Harvesting the LOO acre corn crop
on the Mucian farm, southwest of
Ocala, on the Oklawaha river, began
a few days ago, and thus far the yield
has exceeded all estimates. The yield
will probably exceed 100000 bushels.
The corn already pulled runs from 95
to 100 bushels an acre, and Capt. J..
D. Young, who was in the city this
morning, believes that the yield will
