10 ihread fair through Walnut
To pass a hair through walnut
without boring a hole seems an impos.
sibility, but the feat has often been
done. The hull of the walnut when
examined with a strong glass is seen
to have innumerable small openings
some OF which lead entirely through
the nut. The trick consists in using a
very fine hair and an infinite amount
Of patience. Pass the hair into one OF
these minute crevices and urge Il
gently along. Sometimes it will ap
pear ON the other side at the first trial.

first you will be very lucky.

The Lure of The
Land of Romance

The other day little boy in Missouri
from his farm home and was
completely lost until the marshal of a vii
lage almost forty miles away stopped di-
minutive tramp who answered the descrip-
ton of the lost boy-and telegraphed for
an anxious father.
The boy had walked for two days and
slept one night in a straw stack and an
other in pile of railroad ties, but why he
ran away he refused to tell.
Then father arrived and to him little boy
confessed that he ran away to seek the
cave of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer
Mark Twain's world-famous cave at Han
nibal, Mo- Mark Twain, wizard of boy
dom, had woven his spell again, spell that
caught little boy and carried him through
hardship and loneliness toward the land of
romance.
The boy, sensible to power long lost
to men, ran away because Romance took
his hand and he could not choose but fol-
low.
In older, duller days when child's one
law was obedience and his single watch
word ito be seen and not heard" the boys
confession might have met with laughter
or scorn, and he might have been whipped
and taken home, sullen and bewildered.
Men are wiser now. They have learned
to apply horse-sense to boys as we'll as
business. They understand the worth of
vision, the riches of imagination, the man
saving power of sympathy.
The runaway boys father neither sco1d-
ed nor laughed He took his son on to Han
nibal to show him Huek Firms cave. too
damp and dark for everyday use, and the
house where Tom Sawyer was real boy,
and at the last, the monument erected to
the wise and gentle man who, though
gone, still weaves his spells of joy for boys,
old and young.
Then father and boy went back to the
farm both faces alight with happiness that
comes when people understand the proper
mixing of sensibility and sense.

Laws Relating to Screens
Should Be RigidlY Enforced

Some steps should be taken by the city
authorities to see that the laws are en-
forced, relative to screening. 1t does not
require any great degree of sagac1ty or pen
etratlon, to see that these laws are not be
ing enforced in Pensacola today. On the
contrary their violation is of such fragrant
character as to make the ordinance gov
erning this matter entirely ineffective.
The summer months are approaching
and the flies are becoming more and more
prolific. Your life or the lives of your little
ones may depend upon the enforcement of
the screening ordinance by the officers
whose duty it is to protect the citizens of
the community through this enforcement.
Again and again it is reported that the
places which should be screened, and &C
cording to law must be screened to operate,
are doing business day after day, with the
screen doors ajar and sometimes the entire
screening opened for the ingress of hun
dreds of flies and other insects.
The time to take steps for the enforce
ment of this law is now And the matter
should not be allowed to rest for a single
day Violators of the law should be fined
for every offense, and if the misdemeanors
are continually repeated, as they are in
many cases, then more adequate punish
ment should be inflicted
The health of the community this sum
mer depends very largely on the people of
the community. Not only are the officers
responsible, but each householder should
make every effort to keep his premises
clean, and to have his residence screened
from flies and mosquitoes. There is no time
better than the present for this work, and
every Pensacolian should make an effort to
help in the campaign to eradicate the city
of flies and mosquitoes.

SATURDAY. MARCH 10. 1s1s.
Florida Should Return Nathan P.
BRYAN to the United States Senate

Florida should return Senator Nathan +.
Bryan to the senate of the United States.
Not to do so would be mistake upon the
part of the Progressive Democracy of the
state which he has so creditably represent
ed during the past six years
Senator Bryan has redeemed his every
platform pledge and today stands among
the senate leaders, recognized as man OF
rare ability and judgment and one who has
few peers in this, the greatest law-tnaking
body of the United States. That his ability
is recognized in Washington is proven con-
clusively by the fact that he has been as
signed to some of the most important of
the senate committees and today he is next
to the ranking member on the naval affairs
committee.
There is long established precedent
that any public servant should be accorded
a second term in office where he has served
his constituents we'll and faithfully. No one
can truthfully say that Senator Bryan has
not done this, but besides this precedent
Florida owes it to herself to return this dis
tinguished citizen to the senate.
Senator Bryan has given loyal support
to President Wilson in the latter's every
movement for the betterment of conditions
among the masses of people. He has been
among the foremost advocates of those
principles for which the Democracy of
Florida has fought for years. 1t was large
ly through his efforts in the senate as well
as on the committee on postoffices that the
people today are enjoying the parcels post
system He has opposed those interests
which have sought to prevent the people
enjoying those privileges to which they are
rightfully entitled and his usefulness to the
people of the country and to Florida is be-
ing felt at every freside
Senator Bryan should have been re-
turned to the senate without opposition
There is every reason why he should be re-
nominated and none why he should not

CITY REGISTRATION
OFFICER ABUSY MAN.
MANY VOTERS ARE MAKING TT
CONVENIENT TO CALL AT THE
CITY HALL AND GET READY
FOR APPROACHING ELECTION.

n. B. Cook, city registration officer.
IS busy these days from the opening
to the closing hour of his office in the
city nall. He has employed Fred
Thompson to assist him, and there
has already been enough work offered
to keep both of them busy, for scores
Of persons are making it convenient
to call there during the day and per-
sonally seeing to it that they are
properly located ON the books for the
approaching primaries. Mr.. Cooks
office is located in one of the rooms
formerly occupied by the state labora-
tory.
Transfers will be given by the reg
istration officer upon request, and any
new voter, who has not yet registered,
will be sworn In, either at the city
hall or at the respective precinct dep
uties offices. There are no transfers
being given by the county registra-
ton officers, as it is said there is
nothing in the law to warrant such.
It will be necessary for new voters
to register on both the city and coun-
ty books, and there should be no time
lost in looking after this very i'm
portant matter, as the numbers which
are crowding into the offices daily
NAV make it inconvenient to reach the
registration officer if any one waits
too long.

Parcel Post Conducted
At a Profit

Supporters Of the Madden amendment to
the parcel post law have said that parcel
post does not pay. Let them consider the
heaviest parcel the postoffice department
handles. This starts at three pounds, the
weight that must go by wagon; and aver
ages 81 pounds.
The cost of vehicle delivery in 1912 was
thirty-nine mills per such piece; and it has
worked down now to twenty-eight mills,
less than three cents. The total cost of
handling was five cents last year, and with
SIX cents railway pay the parcel cost the
postoffice department only eleven cents
and the receipt was eighteen cents.
The department made seven cents par
eel
The express companies in their palmiest
days never dreamed of such profit; and
yet their charges are double those of the
parcel post
