COME TO THE MASS MEETING.

Everybody who has at heart the welfare
81 his CITY or his children, If he can posi-
hlv oct there. should be at the mass meet
mo called for 7 80 tonight at the city hail.
for the purpose of determining upon new
high school building.
> Were it not for the fact that great ex-
nedition is needed in order that struc-
ture apnropriate to the dignity OF Pensa-
cola, and adequate to its growing require
ments. NAV be ready by the next school
wear. the matter might be brought to
successful decision by the usual committee
Investigations and the gradual building up
of popular sentiment in favor OF proposed
bond issue
But as one head is better than two, SO
the nassed intelligence OF representative
gathering of citizens will be able to arrive
at A quicker conclusion, and will the sooner
realize the necessity.
Where is the best place to put the build
ING? How big? OF what material? Should
provision be made for any other courses OF
study ? How much its cost? Such are the
problems which educators, architects, city
officials, and the people themselves will
have an opportunity of discussing together
tonight.
"These," said the mother of the Gracchi,
pointing TO her children, these are my
iewels." At time of the year when we are
preparing to hold the great celebration OF
. childhood, hope of the future,-we do not
have to be told that nothing is too good for
our school children.

THE SCRATCH PAD.
BY THOMAS EWING pAeNEY.

The trouble with the country is
that there is too much egg control.
'Shoo ny. don't bother me- Is IN
effect what the allies are saying to the
peace plans.
Germany. with its supply Of cannon
Dails running low. is now trying to
get peace by shooting the bull.
Let America throw up its hat The
Administration is safe. The New
York Sun has praised Daniels
One of the abiding mysteries OF the
age Is, where does the Pullman COM
pany get the names for its cars?
Baron Rhounda is a member OF the
British cabinet, and we hope he will
attend strictly to business and not try
to live up to his name.
Eve was content with Adams rib,
that being his only tangible asset; but
the modern day charmer Is more inter-
ested in the little yellow envelope.
This time last year we were weep
Ing over the high cost of living, but
how happy we would be now IL things
only cost what they did then!
1t seems impossible to make the al
lies listen to reason. Every time the
Germans tell them they are licked and
offer them peace, they begin knock
ing the freckles out of the Germans.
Russia has refused peace; France is
afraid of it; and England is doubtful;
but before neutrals can come to any
definite opinion on the subject, we
will first have to hear what Portugal
thinks.

FOOD VALUE OF MILK.

1t is a mistake to consider milk
solely as a beverage like tea and
coffee. Good, unadulterated milk con-
tains about 13 per cent solid food in
its most digestible form and in fairy
good proportions. all the ingredients
necessary for the building and repair
Of the body.
A large glars Of milk, slipped slow
ly, yields as much nutriment as a slice
OF roast beef or a quarter loaf Of bread.
Milk supplies nutriment as eco
nomically as meat, but it is dearer
than the protein-bearing or energy
making vegetables. However, it re-
quires no preparation, has no waste,
and is more easily digested than any
of the vegetables. The cost of cooks
ing must always be considered in con-
nection with the economical use Of
any food
PROTEIN OF MILK.
1t is the cream or fat of the milk
which brings the highest market price,
but fat can be provided in many
cheaper ways.
Protein is the most costly of food in
gradients and the one most likely to
be lacking in Inexpensive meals
SKINNED milk, from which the fat
has been removed, costs less than
whole milk and furnishes protein
about four times as cheapiy as beef.

THE ISSUE.

Two and half years ago the spiritual
and material progress which were the
pride of Europe at the beginning of the
twentieth century" were no less threat
ened with ruin then they are today; Ger
many's prodigal-son proposal, therefore,
while interesting and, to degree, lauda-
bic, is somewhat belated.
No matter what self -justifying Junker-
thum may say to the contrary, their unpre-
paredness proves that neither England nor
France wanted the war Russia is a diff
ferent proposition but Russia alone could
not have involved the other allies-only
self-preservation could do that And so
we see Sir Edward Gray, British Foreign
Minister seeking to save ''the spiritual and
material progress" of Europe IN 2 proposal
dated June 20, 1914, to the German Foreign
Office, that representatives of Germany,
France, Italy and Great Britain "meet here
in conference Immediately for the purpose
of discovering an issue which would pre-
vent complications. The idea was that II
Germany held back Austria-Hungary,
Great Britain and France would restrain
Russia, and the Serbian matter would have
been settled Liege was the answer, and
Verdun is the result.
Germany now wishes to resume negotla-
tions on 1914 basis
Whether Germany is sincere or is simply
stalling for time, while still greater might
is rolled together to realize the dream of
world dominion, action taken on the Allies
counter proposals will presently demon
strate.
Spiritual and material progress" is not
the issue of the war but whether German
autocracy is to yield to European demo-
cracy, or whether a system of government
shall triumph which for thousand years
has been crumbling beneath the pressure
of human right and human liberty.

THE FARM DAIRY
BY c. K. Meouarrie.
THE cHuRN.

The best type of churn and the cas-
lest worked is the barrel type. No
contrivance of any kind, however.
should be inside the churn, because
anything working among the cream
particles, such as paddles or dashers
or anything of that nature, tend to
break the fat globules in the cream.
reducing the quality and texture of the
butter.
One should buy a larger churn than
he thinks he will need Three gallons
Of cream require a six-gallon capacity
churn to give satisfaction. Before
putting the cream into the churn IL
should be thoroughly scalded with
boiling water. Give the churn several
turns and run the hot water off Then
follow this treatment with ice-coId
water. This keeps the fat particles
from adhering to the inner part of
the churn. Allowance, as already
mentioned, must be made in the size OF
the churn for expansion of the cream.
as Immediately after beginning to
churn gas will form. This can be al
lowed to escape through spigot pro-
vided for that purpose. After five
minutes of churning the gas will have
passed off. Sixty to sixty-five reyo-
Iutons per minute is about the right
speed, but the art of churning is like
the art of milking-some people are
better at churning than others because
they study the principles underlyine
the action of the cream in the churn.
If high velocity is maintained the
cream will form in mass and simply
turn around with the churn. If this
happens reverse turn or two will
break it up.
The idea of churnirg is to have the
cream start in such a way that the
tat gIobules viii separate themselves
from the milk particles, and to be
able to do this the one handling The

ing principles of the work IN which

IN MEMoRAM.

The coming Saturday, December 16,
inst, being the anniversary of the
birth of the lamented Frank L. Mayes.
editor of the Pensacola Journal The
Herald deems it proper to pay brief
tribute to his memory. He was born
Dec. 10th, 1873; and. if he had lived
till now, he would have been 43 years
old
We do not know the date when he
came to Pensacola and took charge OF
the Journal, but we think it was near
ly twenty years ago. At that time,
Pensacola's newspapers exhibited but
little strength, and Mr.. Mayes was
practically unknown there or any
where in the state. But it was NOT
long before he put life and character
in the Journal and forged his way to
the front ranks of Florida journalism.
He made himself known as one of
the purest and most courageous, as
well as one of the abIest editors in
the state. He was beyond the reach
of malign influences and he stood
bravely and unfa1teringly on the right
side of all moral questions
Those of us who differed with him
on political questions, respected and
admired him because we knew him tn
oe honest, sincere and incorruptible.
The lofty character he possessed and
the work ne did made him a power for
good, fact that, even at this day,
causes a deep pang of regret that he
was cut down in the prime of his life
and not permitted to continue his ca
reer of usefulness into a ripe old age.

DEVELOPMENT AND RECLAMA-
TTON

Any bona fde proposition to reclaim the
waste places of the earth and make them
bring forth food for the sons of men, IS
necessarily good; for which reason the
Everglades project, in which Governor
elect Cats is so interested, is, per Sc, highly
commendable.
But if it is right for government to
drain swamps, is it not right for it to colon
ize goodlands? If it is right for govern
ment to irrigate the bad lands that they
NAV be cultivated, is it not right for it to
advertise good lands that they may be
settled?
A bold theory, the translation of which
into fact would necessitate some important
economic adjustments, such as taxing all
land at its rental value and not according
to the improvements thereon; but there IS
nothing chimerical in the proposition,
which is but an extension of the doctrine
of public highway construction, and ma
tional demonstration work.
The tremendous sums that are spent on
reclamation projects before they are nee
essary! 1t is easy to understand why Hol-
land should fight the ocean back; why
Italy should terrace mountain slopes to
plant crops on, very much as people, in
crowded city tenaments, will make gar
den in window box; why Switzerland
should carry dirt in baskets for miles, to
build soil on the bare rock But over
here there are millions upon millions of
acres of splendid land, waiting for the
plow
In New Orleans, a few days ago, a pro-
ject was launched BY the Southern Pine
Association to form an organization to
promote the sale and development of cut
over lands; plan very similar, in some re-
spectS, to the Gulf Coast Tourist and De-
velopment League, already an accomplish
ed fact. Another meeting of the land
owners is planned for an early date in
order that the new association may be per
fected and the two organizations are ex-
pected to raise something like half mil
lion dollars to advertise Sunshine Land
For the simple reason that there are
more undeveloped< acres in West Florida

GET READY FOR THE FARM LOANS

Wishing anybody a Merry Christmas
who lives in West Florida-especially in
the country-is almost as superauous as
praising the sunshine; and the most appro-
pirate message we could send the farmers
for happy and prosperous New Year is
to remind them once more that the Fed
eral Farm Loans will become available on
January the second, in the Year of Grace,
One thousand, nine hundred and seven
teen.
This is the Rural Credits law in nut
shell:
a7a Hss' but
CD And from five forty years to pay it
than per cent-and probably lower.
Ten or more farmers in a given comnlu-
nifty organize their local Farm Loan As
sociation; they draw up articles setting
forth the object of the association and de-
scribing the territory in which it proposes
to do business They appoint their own
loan committee of three members, to pass
on loan applications; the report of this
committee, together with the articles of
association, is sent to the proper regional
land bank. The regional banks have not
vet been announced, but will be determine
ed shortly. The aggregate loans for each
local Association must be at least $4,000,
so you see, Uncle Sam is not limiting you
in the usual way in which the borrower is
limited.
For each $100 he wishes to borrow, a
farmer must buy a So share in the Associa-
ton. He is thus customer and proprietor
at the same time. He can add the value of
the shares to the amount of the loan pro-
posed.
With the approval OF. the loans by the
local committee, the mortgages are sent to
the regional land bank, which in turn for
wards the money to the respective borrow
ers and they can buy cattle and clear the
waste places and abundance will descend
upon the land like cloak.
The spring planting is drawing on apace,
so lee the farmers form their preliminary
organizations immediately-if not sooner
that their applications may be ready to
put into an envelope and send to the dis
trict land bank, just as soon as its location
is announced For further information,
address the Secretary of the Farm Loan
Board, in Washington. We have the
country, the government offers us the
means-the rest is simply up to US!
