Queer will bring his cattle there alive,
they will be killed under sanitary con-
ditions, put in the cooler for twelve
or twenty-four hours or whatever
time is necessary to take the animal
heat out of the body, and be in posi-
ton to offer to the trade clean meat
of good appearance that will bring top
market prices.
To sum it up, the producer will have
place to sell, and the local dealer
will have a place to buy under condi-
tions satisfactory to both. And both
the producer and buyer will know at
all times the amount of meat consum-
ed, and the quantity on hand thus re-
moving the possibility of glut in the
market on one hand and scarcity of
meat on the other.
Such an arrangement will also be
a benefit in other ways. A central
abattoir conducted under the super
vision of a competent municipal in
spector will minimize the possibility
of diseased annals being offered to
the public. It is not probable that
the meat of unhealthy animals being
sold now, but the producer is not al
wsys sufficiently expert to determine
the presence of cholora in hogs or tu-
berculosis in cattle, therefore 1t is
possible that some meat does reach
the public A competent inspector
will remove even this possibility.
1t has been stated that more cattle
are stolen in Escambia, Santa Rosa
and Baldwin Counties than in any
other similar section in the country.
This is because it is possible to butch
er cattle anywhere, destroy the hide,
and sell the meat, which cannot be
identified, in Pensacola. If it is made
impossible to sell in Pensacola meat
butchered anywhere except in cen
trail abattoir, the business of cattle
stealing will be considerably dis
couraged.
Won't you please give this matter
your earnest consideration, and oblige
Yours very truly,
(Signed) James F. Phillips
Secretary.

CHANGE FROM PEANUTS To-
CORN

The farmer who is growing hogs
for market other than the local trade
must finish his animals on corn. The
packing houses do not want peanut
fed hogs unless they have been fin
ished on some feed that will produce
a solid fat.
The time that it takes to finish an
animal varies from thirty to forty
days. This does not mean that the
animals should be put on corn thirty
or forty days before they go to mar
ket. The change would be too sud
den. 1t is never advisable to change
feeds suddenly, but to change on a
hog that is too busy getting fat to
take care of his digestive organs
would be disastrous.

Shop

The dissatisfied customers sit around
and complain
That the shoemaker didn't treat
them right,
That their 'soles" get wet every
time it rains
And their feet are awfuIly tired
at night.
They waited so long that the bot
toms wore through
And they expected him to fix them
the same as new;
And the cheap leather he used would
never do,
For it would get wet through in
dew.
When you want good leather, take
your shoes to Chats,
For he uses first-grade leather ana
that's the fact.
His prices are the same as local
shops
And the materials he uses gets new
er knock.

Washington, Sept. Bids were
opened at the navy department today
for thirty hydroaeroplanes for the

Many concerns offered bids, but
only few of the larger estimated

they would be unable to award the

To encourage all concerns manu-

be no time lost. II is as important
that there should be munitions for the
guns and food for the fighting men as
is that there should be guns and ships
and soldiers.
Americans business men are the
strongest factor of national defense.
II is their energy, their genius and
their resOurcefulness that affords the
allies at this time the best assurance
Of a steady supply of the necessities of
warfare. What they are doing for
foreign nations at war they can and
will do in larger measure for their
own country. The railroads, factories
and farms of this nation are at the
service of the government, if prompt
and prudent measures are taken to
bring them into co-ordinatioV
The move toward government con-
struction of factories for the making
of war material is a mistake. The
government should not become a
manufacturer. II should utilize the
immense manufacturing resources al
ready at hand. II should compel
private manufacturers to compete
openly and honestly for government
business. II should inspect all pro
duets as they are being made, and
IL should penalize every man who
tries to take advantage Of the gov
ernment. either by palming of in
ferior stuff. by conspiring with others
to raise prices or by any other
method.
The government and the people
should be "A unit in preparing to de-
fend the nation. Let the government

Editorial Opinion
nm STRONG MAN GOEs.

From the New York Tribune.
>Tno country will deeply regret Sec
retary Garrison's retirement from the
Cabinet. He has won its respect and
confidence by his ability and broad
mindedness. As Secretary of War he
has measured up to the standards set
in that Office by the ablest OF his pre-
decessors. Hampered as he was by
President Wilson's indifference to the
needs Of the army tan indifference
overcome only recently by the re-
quirements of the political situation
and the exigencies OF a campaign for
reelection, he labored honestly and
intelligently to reorganize our mill
tary system and to put. the country,
50 far as its land forces are concern
ed into a condition 10 defend itself
! The Tribune has differed with Mr.
I Garrison on certain details Of his mill
/ itary policy. It has favored a larger
increase OF the regular army than he
was willing-or able advocate.
Yet it has always recognized the sim
cerity and soundness of his general
views and has applaudcd his readi-
ness TO do what he thought could be
done to improve the military estab-
! lishment and uproot the false notions
and traditions which have made our
military system a travesty
Mr.. Garrison also added strength to
the Administration outside his own
department He was counsellor
whose opinion on any question car
ried weight which. unfortunately,
cannot be said OF all. or even ma
jority. of his Cabinet associates. His
independence OF character left him
no choice but to resign when he found
himself unable TO acquiesce in conces-
sions made by the President to pOlit-
ical expediency His resignation is
an evil omen for the Administration.
II is OF evil omen also for all those
who recognize how much there was
for him to do in his field for the pub
Tic interest and how much less is
likely to he done now that he is Ia

If the United States is to prepare
itself adequately against a possible
conflict with any great power, it must
utilize and organize the agencies which
will keep an army and navy in tight-
ing trim, on a scale of operations
vastly greater than has ever been wit
sessed i'm this hemisphere. The world
has made as much progress in war
as in peace since the civil war. Nearly
every activity Of mankind in Europe
has been transformed into direct or
Indirect aid OF the lighting front The
United States cannot cope with such
concentrated effort unless it adopts
the same plan Of cooperation between
the government and the people
The organization OF great railroad
in the United States would be as ne
cessary in time OF war as an equal
number OF soldiers at the front The
nremen and engineers would be per-
forming just as important service as
if they were is the trenches or the
gun urrets. Factory hands. turning
out shells or uniforms or foodstuf'
for the lighters, would be contributing
powerfully to the national defense
This fact is so vividly, demonstrated
in Europe that nobody in America car
he blind TO il.
Tho Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States is trying to bring about
such cooperation between the agricul-
tural, transportation and industrial
forces of the nation on the one hand
and the government on the other as
will insure perfect teamwork in case
the supreme crisis should come. This
effort, coming from business men
from all parts of the country should
meet with the immediate sympathy
and support of Congress. If the Co

News items which appeared in the

Castle County Workhouse and TO pay
that institution 40 cents a day board
for each inmate sent there. when the
sheriff OF our county only receives 30
cents a day for the care and main
tenance Of prisoners confined In the
Jail at Dover
For some time past there has been
considerable complaint 10 the ehecl
that the New Castle County Work
house is greatly over-crowded, so
much so that several prisoners have
been placed in a single cell. Whal
benefit is there to be derived from send
sng our prisoners 10 New Castle coun-
~ and paying 40 cents a day board
for them. when we can keep thom a.

that during the past year Sherif
Kirby has hired out several prisoner

glad 60 get them 10 assist in cutting
fodder and husking and Smelling corn
From this source the sheriff receives
