absorb the wheat crop, and other
grain crops. But by far the biggest
and best market provided by the IL
quor industry of the cities for the
products of the Missouri farm lies in
the PURCHASING POWER OF
THOSE WHO DIRECTLY OR INDI-
RECTLY DERIVE THEIR LIVING
FROM THIS VAST BUSINESS.
The advent of statewide prohibit
ton would at once shut off TEN MIL
LION DOLLARS A YEAR IN
WAGES, in the city of st. Louis alone.
SIXTY THOUSAND WAGE-EARN-
ERS in st. Louis City would be
thrown out of employment, and 1885,
900 people would find their income
gone. One-ffth of the city of st.
Louis would be as completely blotted
out as if a fleet of hostile zeppelins
had poured their daily fires upon it.
The railroads would at n lose
$4,000 900 per year in revenue; real
estate of the value of $16,000,000
would become tenantless, and $780,
O00, 900 of capital would be driven
from the borders of the state-and
where capital goes, there goes labor
also, to find employment.
In the presence of such financial
ruin no business interest in u great
cities or in the country could remain
unaffected.
In the midst of such widespread
disaster the Missouri farmer cannot
stand unscathed. When the PUR-
CHASING power of the cities is seri-
ously impaired the SELLING power of
the farmer is just as injuriously af-
fected because the CITY WAGE
GARNER is THE FARMERS BEST
! CUSTOMER. Where great cities
thrive and throb with ever-increasing
life there is the best market for the
farm-for, as said above, THE MAR
KET MAKES THE FARM.

A New Tax On Land
The present yearly income of the
State of Missouri is, in round mum
bers, $500, 900, or a little less thar
six millions of dollars per year.
More than one-half of this amount
now comes from the liquor business
and allied industries. Therefore
should prohibition carry at the poll

HALF THE PRESENT INCOME OF

100000 per year in new taxes mus
be raised. Where will you get it

FOUR DOGS KILLED
IN PAST TWO DAYS

Within the past couple of days
the police department has received
complaints Of four dead dogs in as
many parts of the city. One was on
Guillemarde, between Lloyd and Com
zalez; one at 1708 East Gadsden;
one near the corner of Seventeenth
avenue and Gadsden, and one at 1413
East LaRua street.
When complaints Of this nature are
received, the police department noti-
fies the street department, and dray
from the street force moves the car
cass. The animals are then cast into
the city's crematory.
At least two Of these dogs were
killed by autos, the police records
show, but poison, it was thought, had
been administered to the others.

Canning Club Work Will
Develop Enterprise of Section

The Girls Canning Club promises to
give Escambia county new industry. NOW
that sufficient funds are assured to carry
the work over the first season-which IS al
WAYS one of expense and difficulty IN any
line of business-it Is reasonable to sup
pose that demand will be created for the
14-Hn brand of canned goods that will sur
pass the expectations of the most enthus-
iastic workers today.
Canning is such simple process. Bret
Nv put, canning consists in sterilizing by
heat, thereby preventing the development
Of bacteria, which produces what we call
decay. Decay is form of life There are
reliable charts showing the temperatures
which the various bacteria cannot survive.
Canning therefore is one of the simplest OPP
erations in the world, compared with
which producing a perfect soft boiled egg
is fraught with difficulty.
That Escambia county can grow the
fruits and vegetables, is of course, too OBJ
vious for comment. With a soil and eli
mate that are simply Incompatible, we can
grow more and better truck than the north
ern farmer, who is ice-bound for three to
six months in the year, and the only reason
. we haven't done so yet is that we haven't
tried to.
The market for the Girls Canning Club
is assured by the Pensacola merchants
who have agreed to push the '4-H" brand
and humble as this beginning is, The Jour
nal foresees great and wonderful results II
better agriculture and more factories for
West Florida.

NO APPLICATIONS
FOR SERVICE CLUB
LICENSES TO DATE
Law REQUIRES THAT PROPRIE-
TORS MUST GIVE FIVE DAYS
NOTICE, BUT NONE WERE
HEARD FROM YESTERDAY.

Although the ordinance regu-
lating service clubs In the city will
60 into effect within the next few
days, no applications for licenses
had been received up to the hour for
closing the city hall at 5-o'clock yes
terday, and it looks like they will
have to close day or two before
the license can be issued.
The ordinance provides that all
clubs seeing license must give
notice at least five days before the
date Of issue. After an application
accompanied by the required amount
to defray the necessary expense for
publication, at least five days must
elapse before said application Is
granted, and notice by publication in
city newspapers must be made three
days before date of possible issue.
Then, after publication, a date must
be set for the hearing of "remon-
strances," as the ordinance terms il
from any citizen or citizens against
the allowance of said license.
The ordinance becomes effective
May I, four days hence, counting to-
day. The clubs which are now OPP
Grating in the capacity of Service
clubs are doing business under a Ii
cense defining them as second class
restaurants. The city gets fee of
SO each, but the total license, in
GLIDING that of the U. S. revenue
charge, is $3.50. Clubs which, after
May 1, still operate under their
present license, according to the
construction put on the statute by
the city attorney, would be guilty OF
selling liquor without license and
charges will be made, according to

MAKES CORRECTION OF
A WRONG IMPRESSION
&NNNNNNNNANNN4N :
Jacksonville Metropolis


The Orlando Reporter Star has
called attention to something that
should have commanded attention
long ago, and that is the laying of the
blame for the Florida Corrupt Prac-
tice Act upon Senator Nathan p.
Bryan. Newspapers pretty genera
ally have attributed the passage Of
this law by the 1913 session of the
Legislature to Senator Bryan, believ-
ing it to be part of the Bryan Pri-
mary Law.
Senator Bryan had nothing what
ever to do with the framing or pas
sage of what is known as the Cor
rupt Practice Act, which limits the
amount of money which may be spent
in conducting campaign and along
which line campaign may be CON
Quoted. For some reason many of the
the editors of the State are under the
impression that Senator BRYAN is re-
sponsible for the act. Because Of the
low limit allowed candidates they are
not in position to take advantage of
the newspaper advertising columns,
much as they would like to do. The
Senator has come in for a good deal
of criticism for it, both through the
press and by the public. 1t is
wrong, The Metropolis is glad to be Of
some aid in correcting the impression
Under the corrupt Practice Act pay
ment to any one for his services or ex.
penses to work in behalf of a candi-
date is expressly prohibited. No
only is the candidate liable to fine anG
Imprisonment if convicted, but AM
one who solicits or receives reward
for service or loss of time or for ex
penses as consideration for promis
ing to work for, vote for, electioneel
or make speeches for or against an
candidate shall upon conviction b
punished by a fine not exceedins
$1,000 or imprisonment not exceed
ing year or both.
The Bryan Primary Law, whicl
Senator Bryan is responsible for, ha
nothing whatever to do with the man
ner of conducting a campaign, excep
to describe the eligibility of electors
the time for holding the election elm
mating the necessity for a second pr
mary and explaining the manner o
tabulating the vote.

BY
GOV. TRAMMELL
Orlando Reporter Star.


/ Governor Trammell unwittingly
made an admission in his Orlando
speech which wouldn't have been com
m1tted, probably, had he taken second
thought. It ives one of those slips,
which even thorough politician will
sometimes overlook until it is too late.
The governor was complaining that
he didn't get square deal from the
Times Union, the newspaper which he
said is owned by three great railroad
corporations. The Governor said he
rad no influence with the Times Union,
and the Times Union wouldn't print
what he wrote by way of correcting
the mls-statements which were made
about him in its columns.
The Reporter Star doesn't question
the truth of the Governors statements,
but we must confess to some surprise
at hearing the Governor admit that
his own law which was intended to
deal with just such stiff necked pa
pers as the Tines Union appears a
failure. Perhaps the law should not
be termed failure since it hasn't
been proved such, for nobody has yet
put 1t to test. IF the Governor doesn't
get square deal from the Times
Union and if that paper persists in ig-
norlng the Governors demands that
ne be given a hearing in its columns,
why doesn't he apply the Trammell
act of 1913 to force the Times Union
to do that which it fails to do will
ingly? 1t is in very poor order for
the Governor to go about complaining
OF fault which his law was designed
especially to correct. Does the Gov
ernor abstain from using his law as
a pry and lever because he knows its
weakness? Does he refuse to 90 in
to court with his hand-fashioned
weapon to procure justice contest
II the Governor honestly believes
that his law will cure the ills Of
which he complains he would be the
first to seek redness. He framed
or copied-the statute which would
neutralize the situation, and he has
offered a substantial reward to any
one who will secure evidence against
any one else who violates the law.
Yet the Governor appears before an
intelligent audience and calmly states
in effect that the law has been vio-
lated by the states leading paper,
and that he is powerless to do any
thing, because said paper is owned by
/ the railroads corporations and he
hasn't any influence with it. Why
doesn't Candidate Trammen present
the evidence in the case to Governor
Trar1mell and claim the reward? He
| will probably need it for campaign
expenses before the itinerary has been
covered.

Will There Be Cheap
Gasoline? No Chance!

Who OWES an automobile may as well
throw all hope overheard. He will be able
to travel lighter if he does. For with the an
nouncement that the United States govern
ment has signed contracts with producers
to pay thirty-one and half cents for next
years supply of gasoline, we may as well
abandon our roseate visions of the Ritz
man and other improved processes cheap
ening production.
To the toiler whose sole existence CEN
tiers around the problem of keeping his
auto tank filed and get enough to eat at
the same time, there is hope in the calcula-
ton of one expert that at the present rate
of consumption and production the entire
supply of crude oil will be exhausted in
twenty-seven years, for when that hap
pens he will be able to save little money
Gasoline right now is almost in the
same class with altar of roses. Nay, it's a
good deal worse. For with one drop of
the altar, you can dope up a barrel of wa
ter, but ten gallons of gasoline isn't hardly
enough to get you going.
How much of the recent hard times has
BEEN really due to gasoline and automo-
biles, and not to economic depression, is
an interesting field for the statistician; GER
tainly automobile sales increased with the
increasing stringency, and there may be
some connection between the two But
be this as it may, if gasoline continues ram
pant it will soon be SO high that even mil
1ionaires will not be able to use it; and in
deed our social leaders will get Just as
much pleasure out of life if they depend, for
creating favorable impression, on wear
ing their clothes little raw from the clean
ers The world of fashion only accepts ap-
pearances anyway.

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATAR-

HEAD NOISES.

II you know someone who is troubled
with head noises, or Catarrhal Deafness,
cut out this formula, and hand 1t to them,
and you will have been the means Of saw
Ing some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. Recent experiments have
proved conclusively that Catarrhal Deaf.
ness. head noises, etc, were the direct
cause OF constitutional disease, and that
salves, sprays, inhalers, etc, merely tenn
porlze with the complaint and seldom,
II ever, effect a permanent cure This
being so, much time and money has been
spent Of late by noted specialist In per-
fecting q pure gentle, yet effective tonic
that would quickly dlspel ell traces Of the
catarrhal poison from the system. The
effective prescription which was even
tually formulated, and which has aroused
the belief that deafness will soon be ex-
tlnct, Is given below in understandable
form, so that anyone can treat them
selves In their own home at little expense,
Secure from your druggist l OF. Par
mint Double Strength), about 7bc worth.
Take this home and add to 1t y pint OF
stir until dissolved Take one tablespoonful
four times a day, 10.
The first dose should begin. to relieve
the distressing head noises headache, dull
ness, cloudy thinking. ETC., while tbs hearing
rapidly returns as the system Is invigorated
by the tonic action Of the treatment. Loss
of smell and mueus dropping in the back
Of the throat, are other symptoms that show
the presence Of catarrhal poison, and which
are often entirely overcome by this effica-
cious treatment. Nearly ninety per cent Of
all ear troubles are directly caused by
catarrh; therefore, there must be many peo-
pie whose hearing can be restored by this
simple home treatment. ..
Every person who Is troubled with head
noises, catarrhal deafness, or catarrh In any
form. should give this prescription trial.
