THE SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY.

1t is almost time for the Bremen
to leave Germany again.
This is the month when school and
oysters begin.
Judging by the number of times it
has been destroyed, the Bremen is
the Pancho Villa of the high seas.
The Russians have captured Mush,
but it is the Austrians who are in the
soup.
These loud cries of despair come
from Jacksonville at being called
Tampa's weaker sister.
The time is now ripe for the ulti-
mate consumer to strike for a lower
price on sugar and beans.
The railroad strike may be set
tied, but the Knott-Catt trouble is
just as bad as ever.
Still replying to the Nashville Ban
ner's query, "Why do men kiss girls 2"
we will state that it is because the
girls want them to.
Betting being illegal, we are will
ing to wager that j. D. Anderson IS
glad he received those 500 cattle be-
fore the embargo went into effect.
In the event of strike will Hughes
walk back to New York, or will he
make the journey il ambrosial dignity
in flivver.
At last the committee have been
able to penetrate the polar region of
the Fairbanks chill and inform him
of his nomination.
The police never know what is GO
ing to happen next. A kuHid girl
tickled Officer Kelly under the chin
and one bit Officer Clark on the hand
The fact that Colquitt was over
whelmingly defeated after proclaim
ing that Wilson was "the greatest
failure in American history" is a
bad omen for Hughes and his knock
ing.
1t has been such long time since
we heard about Roosevelt's famous
nut eating bird, the guacharo, that
we are beginning to fear it was only
little bull after all.
Bacon, Republican candidate fol
governor in New York, is opposed tc
Hughes suffrage plank, saying thai
suffrage is a state issue and has nc
place on the federal constitution
When he is unable to convince his owl
Iparty of the soundness of his plat
form, what chance has a candidate
undiluted or otherwise, to convince the
rest of the people?

THE CAR SHORTAGE.

Even If the strike is averted, the shipper
will, in the language of the day, be up
against it.
There are simply not enough cars to
handle the vast increase of business.
Even in August, which is not a crop
moving month, the net surplus of idle cars
amounted to only 10,616-the lowest num-
Der for the period on record. What will
be the plight of the East and South there
fore, when the western grain starts calling
for cars?
The net car surplus has been below the
one-hundred thousand mark since Sept
ember of last year, as will be shown from
the following figures complied by the
Manufacturers Record:

OUR COUNTY FAIR.

The announcement that the cattle ex-
hibit will be made feature at the Escam-
bia County Fair, to be held here October
1928, is doubly significant, taken in con-
nect1on with the recent return of party
of West Florida business men and farm
ers from tour of the cattle region of the
middle south
1t is more definite acknowledgement
than ever that the development of West
Florida is intimately bound up with cattle
With meat consumption doubled and
the production of cattle cut in half within
the past few years, the absolute certainty
of stock raising from business standpoint
needs no comment. From all reports, the
Escambia Fair will be bigger and better
than ever this year, and the cattle exhibit
supplemented by the missionary efforts OF
the thirty-odd West F1oridians, who made
the trip, will symbolic a new era in our
economic development

THE DEMONSTRATION AGENT.

The county commissioners tabled, with
out consideration, the final appeal of the
Pensacola Chamber of Commerce to de-
fray half the farm demonstrators salary
This was expected, and the Chamber of
Commerce will therefore assume the coun-
tvs obligation.
Is it not significant that a purely city
organization should obligate itself to
raise 5000 a year-$50 month-in order
that the farmers should have the benefit
of an industrial expert?
There are not many cities which have
taken such keen interest in agricultural
development, and the news of it will go
abroad
While this editorial was being prepared
The Journal received a letter from the live
Chamber of Commerce of Asheville n. c.,
in which after reference was made to a
news story in The Journal, relative to the
likelihood of the county commissioners
withdrawing their support to the farm
demonstration work, the hope was express
ed that the appropriation could be continv
ued, as sit is one of the best investments
your county commissioners can possibly
make for Escambia county and Pensacola"
To prove which, reference was made to
Buncombe county, N. c., which has had
demonstration agent for nearly seven
years.
"The increased yield in alone for the past
several years., continues the communication, shas
been worth EACH YEAR from 100000 to $780,
600, due solely Co IMPROVED METHODS of
farming brought about through FARM DEMON
STRATION WORK"
Unfortunately we can not write back
to the Chamber of Commerce and say
our county saw the way clear to buying
dollars for dimes, but we can write back
and say that the work will continue and
that the business men of Pensacola have
given an example of progress that has sell
dom been equalled and never excelled.

THE TIMES AND WEST FLORIDA.

The Tampa Times has made the amende
honorable Whereas it opined last week
that West Florida is asleep, it now comes
out with a glowing tribute to our "magni-
ficent people whose ''progressiveness is
each day increasing The Times editor
ial, which was written in reply to a re-
monstrance by The Journal, could not be
fairer. As The Times says, and as. The
Journal said even before The Times, West
Florida does not pretend to the actual de-
velopment achieved by Tampa and its en-
virons; but West Florida is no longer the
backward region it once was, any more
than Tampa is the backward place it once
was. We are especially pleased with the
Times frank disavowal. Florida is too
fine state for one part to speak i'll or
another; it has too many splendid oppor-
tunities for one section to be jealous of
another.

PERCHERON HORSES

Importance Of Good Feeding Is
Emphasized by President Of

In his annual address e. b. White,
president Of the Percherna Society OF
America, emphasized the tRportance
Of good feeding ~ follows:
Let me call your attention to the
fact that you cannot grow nrst-class

COMMON CONDITION .
IN GROWING SWINE
BODYBUILDING Feed Will Aid
Greatly in Keeping Animals
Free From Paralysis.

tBy I. r. NEWsOM. Colorado Agricul.
tural College. Fort Collins. ColoJ
Paralysis Of the posterior part Of
the body appears to be a rather COM
mol condition in growing hogs. and
sometimes even in mature animals.
While in some instances 1t may be
due to mechanical causes, such as in,
jury to the back, yet these cannot ex.
plain the greater number of cases.
Some have suggested that intestinal
parasites bear a causa1 relation. but
this is open to considerable question
as 1t is difficult to see Just how worms
in the intestine could produce pa.
ralysis.
The theory that seems most plaus.
IDLE is that the bones, particularly OF
the spinal column, become softened
thus producing pressure on the spinal
cord. The softening OF the bones is
probably due In many instances to
lack of lime salts In the food and is
not frequently noted when the vic
Tins have been heavily fed on corn
Consequently a rational treatment
consists in the addition OF hnewatel
to the feed and an entire change OF
diet. especially with = view to build
ing better bone. That this treatment
will have any beneficial effect on the
affected animals Is open to question
but such measures when instituted
should prevent other animals com
Ing down with the disease.

THIS WOMAN ARRESTED
AND JAILED Husband

ATLANTA, Dec. 7-Arresting her
husband at the point of revolver
and escorting him to the sheriff's of
flee at the court house, where he
was compelled to await the result of
her investigation, was the unique
method pursued yesterday afternoon
by Mrs. b. F. Beck of this city to find
out whether she was really married
to her husband. or whether he had de
ceived her with a counterfeit cere
mony.
Beck is a barber and was in the
midst OF shaving a customer when
his doubling and angry spouse walk
ed into the shop with a brand new
shiny revolver in her hand and level.
ed it at his head. TIL customer left
the chair and went out the back door
while the other BARRIERS took ar
equally speedy departure. Then Mrs
Beck proceeded to make her husband
take off his linen coat, put on his
regular coat and hat, and accompany
her to the court house.
Very much to her relief she found
that Beck had not deceived her but
was her legally and lawfully wedde7
husband until death or divorce dc
part them.
