COUNTIES SHOULD AID
IN ERADICATION OF TICKS

Editor Pensacola Journal.
/ note you have given good deal
of space in your paper in regards to
the campaign conducted by the agri-
cultural agents Of the L. & N. rail
road which closed last week.
/ would like to put plan before
the county commissioners and public
in general in regards TO exterminat-
ing the tick.
The farmer wants to rid his cattle
of ticks in order to grow better cat
tie at lower cost, for it costs-money
to grow cattle and ticks at the same
time, but how is he going to do it
when his cattle are only worth about
$3.50 per head? and the average
Escambia county farmers herd con-
sists of from two to twenty head of
cattle.
ToSbuild a dipping vat costs from
S75 to 500, or almost as much as
his cattle are worth.
A county in Southwest Georgia
helped the farmers solve their prob
lem and it seems to me that the Es-
Gambia county commissioners could
follow in the foot steps of the Geor-
gia county commissioners, (for it's a
sure thing we must follow somebody
else's plan for Florida is the only
southern state that has not made
some effort to exterminate the Texas
fever tick.)
The county commissioners OF the
Georgia county followed this plan:
They bought enough cement and
material at wholesale to build twelve
dipping watts. This material cost them
about $500. They bought enough
lumber to build one form, and early
in April they put force of convicts
at work under the supervision of the
county agricultural adviser to build
these twelve watts, one in different
locality throughout the county. AS
soon as one vat was completed the
wooden form was hauled to the site
of the second vat and so on until the
entire twelve watts were completed.
The farmers in the community paid
the balance of the cost Of each vat
which amounted to, only a few dol
lars to each farmer.
The county expects to not only
draw interest, but the principal as
we'll through the increased valuation
in future years, for when the farmer
can raise cattle profitabIy and sell
them for a good price he will invest
the proceeds towards improving his
farm which viii naturally be taxed
at a higher rate.

Maybe They're All
In Pensacola.

There is no use Disgusting the fact
that while Florida never saw such an
influx of winter visitors as at pres
ent, West Florida, the very best por-
ton of the state in many ways, is
not receiving even its usual number
Undoubtedly there is no one at
fault for this but ourselves. If we
SOW not we need not expect to reap.
If our great advantages are not set
before intending visitors and settlers,
we cannot complain if they do not
come here.
1t is too late to start an effective
advertising campaign this winter, but
immediate steps should be taken by
West Florida to set before the world
its many advantages and POSSIBLE
ties, that with another winter I'VE
might secure the immigration we are
justly entitled to.-Panama City
Pilot.
West Florida is taking the bit in its
teeth, and before another winter there
will be lineup worth while Talla-
hassee, through its revived Boosters
club, is ready TO join with the other
communities of West Florida in q
campaign to advertise our advan-
tages.-The Tallahassee Floridian.
Pensacola is one Of the West Flor
ida cities which has suffered no de-
crease Of its winter visitors. On the
contrary, Pensacola has entertained
more tourists this winter than ever
before, if one may Judge by the num-
Der of visitors who attend the meet
ings of the Tourist club of this city,
and who have been registered at ho-
tells and entertained as the guests of
private families. Maybe that is what
has become of the West Florida tour
lists, perhaps they have concentrated
their forces at Pensacola.

The Responsibility of
Fatherhood.

Throughout the United States the
first week in March viii be devoted
to crusade for Better Babies, under
the direction of the children's bureau
of the federal government, of which
Miss Julia Lathrop is the official
head.
Pensacola has had Better Baby
Contests and other movements for
creating a wider interest in that which
pertains to the welfare of the child,
but whatever may be done to insure
Better Babies for this country, and
much may be done, the fact remains
and will always remain that the best
way to have better babies is to give
the babies better parents.
DIR. James Russell Price gives some
startling statistics, in his recent
book, The Call for Fathers. DR.. Price
lays the burden of race deterioration
on the fathers and not the mothers
of the country.
He says: "seventy-fiye per cent
of the school children of the United
States have defects mentally or ply
sicaIly.
Ninety per cent of the school
children of Chicago are defective. OF
$4,000 school children of New York
City, thirty per cent are behind their
normal grade.
'Eighty-four per cent of boys ac-
cused in the criminal court of Chi
cago are defective mentally, in age
Id to IS, but in mind to 10 years
old.
"There are $4,000 mentally defec-
tive persons at large in New York
city, and fully one-half as many in
Chicago" says DIR. Price, and further
declares that "the cause of this enor-
nous mass of defective humanity is
mainly traceable to faulty father
hood. The remedy must be brought
to the people through education.
When families and communities take
the same interest in human culture
that they do in animal culture, de-
generates and criminals will be un-
known"
DIR. Price, in an address before the
Mems club of Chicago
said: Heretofore we have bestowed
the honors and dishonors, debts and
credits for the good and bad of hu-
mankind on mothers. Overestimat-
ing the influence of motherhood has
to large extent deprecated the value
of fatherhood. Men deserve and need
more than they receive in the way
of wholesome advice as to their re-
sponsibility as fathers"

Let Money Co

Don't hold the money up. IF you
have the money, pay. You help
yourself and you help others. It is
the first person who refuses to pay
that affects the whole line. You pay
your creditor and it enables him to
pay his. There is never any reason,
as rule, for hard times, except where
people fail to come across to pay their
righteous obligations. When enough
people do this, then we have what the
world calls hard, hard times. Hard
times are impossible if everybody
made it rule to pay up promptly
and buy only what they can afford
to pay -Titusville Advocate.

List of Farmers

The Record is in receipt Of list of
farmers of Escambia county who have
seed beans and peas for sale. 1t was
sent by the Pensacola Chamber OF
Commerce. Good seed is necessary to
good crops, and this is year when
North Florida farmers should plant
peas and beans and corn. The boil
weevil is here and the cotton yield
is certain to be materially decreased.
The reduction this past season was
considerable, and the next crop is GO
ing to be seriously reduced-Talla-
hassee Record.

Wood Won a Point

Candidate Wood of st. Petersburg,
who is making the race for governor
on platform which declares for the
adjustment of the fee system of
paying county officials, won point
last week when the state sheriff's
convention at Tampa voiced its griev-
aTlce against this man who would re-
duce their compensation to a reason
able salary basis. The rank and file
of Democrats in the state are with
Mr.. Wood in this matter of doing
away with the fee system, although
they may not be with Mr.. Wood in his
present personal ambition. Public
denunciation of Mr.. Wood on the
part of the sheriffs, thus calling at
tention of voters to the idea that the
present fee system is too much in the
nature of a sinecure to be -meddled
with, will serve to make votes for the
gentleman who is working vigorously
against the fee system.-Palatka
News.

Farris Dares Wood

The sherfffs in convention disap-
proved F. A. Wood, candidate for
governor, and denounced his plan for
abolishing the fee system. Ion L.
Farris, candidate for governor, adj
dressed the same convention and
said that he could take the Wood
bill and make it look like monkey.
The bill referred to by Farris was not
a fee bill, but one introduced by the
Pinellas candidate while he was a
member of the legislature, designed
especially to disconnect the county of
ficials from the fee system. Now,
Mr.. Wood comes back and dares Mr..
Farris to meet him on the platform
and broadly hints that he will make
Farris look like monkey in the
scrimmage. We shall see what we
shall see.-Clearwater Sun.

A Heroine In
Male Attire.

There walks the streets of Washing
ton today frail and pathetic figure.
A slender wisp of a woman, feeble of
step, dim Of eye, old and broken, wear
ing with still a certain air of jaunti-
ness and dignity a black suit. wide
trousers, long coat, high silk hat. DIR.
Mary Walker creates small interest
at the national capital. Her little
man-dressed figure is a so familiar
sight that residents and members of
Washfngton's official family do not
give her even the casual glance and
smile, and visitors have heard of her
so often, and have pictured her as
SO mannish a person, that the sight
OF her occasions in them rather a
sense of disappointment than sur
prise.
Whatever DR.. Mary Walker may
look, in her masculine apparel, she
falls far short of being mannish. And
to one familiar with her history, the
feeble figure so near to the end of
the journey, must bring feeling of
sadness rather than sense of de-
rision, plying tenderness rather
than censure for the woman who
donned mans attire and mas worn 1t
for fifty years, in the face of protest,
of ridicule, of scorn.
Or. Mary Walker was one of the
ablest surgeons of the Civil war. On
her black coat, once always spotless
but now dusty and stained, she wears
decorations that king might envy.
No soldier who ever marched to bat
tie did more for his country than
did this woman, who gave her ser
vices so freely.
On whatever side our forebears
may have been in that great conflict,
there can be nothing but admiration
for this woman's courage and skill,
the conservation Of duty and the 10y
atty to love Of her fellowman, that
made DR.. Mary Walker an angel of
mercy in many a hospital ward and
on many a battle field during the
Civil war.
During the great strife she wore
mans attire for convenience and the
protection it gave her. And was so
enamored of its freedom that she
asked that she might continue to wear
masculine attire to the end Of her
life. By special act of congress
this was granted her, in recognition
of her services to her country, and
today she is nearing the end, still
with head held high, feeble of mind
and of body, pathetic beyond words,
to the student of human nature who
sees in her bravado something most
appealing.
Whatever one may think of her va
carries, and of her "great constitu-
tional argument" DR.. Mary Walker
has served her country well, and de-
serves better than ridicule, something
more than scorn.

F1orida sberiffs net IN Tamna !,

Florida sheriffs met in Tampa last
week and went on record as being
opposed to Mr.. Woods platform doing
away with the fee STANDARDIZATION

This is not at all surprising when
it is considered that each of these of
ficials is being paid far in excess of
the services rendered. The fee sys-
tenn is vicious. It should have been
abolished years ago.

Monkey and Baboon--

The monkey and baboon will soon
be playing in the political grass if
Candidates Farris and Wood really
come together in joint debate. At
the sheriff's convention last week,
Senator Farris, who is a candidate
for governor, is reported to have said:
81 can take Woods own bill and make
a monkey out of him in Is minutes. T"
He referred Of course to the bill in
troduced by Mr.. Wood in the last leg
islature, doing away with the fee sys-
tenn and placing all county officers
on salary basis. Now comes Mr..
Wood with challenge to joint de-
bate on the question, thus giving Mr..
Farris the opportunity he professed
to seek. Which will prove to be the
monkey, and which the baboon, re-
mains to be seens-Palatka News.

Should Follow Knott

We suggest to all the candidates
for governor that they step right
upon the plank in Candidate Knots
platform in which he pledges himself
to use his influence, if elected, to Sc
cure libel law for this state that
does not outrage every principle of
justice and common sense, as IS the
case with the present one. AS that
law now is, it seems designed to re-
strict the legitimate rights of the
newspaper in the spirit of pure ty-
ranny and incidentally to aid the
damage suit lawyer whose eagle eye
is always piercing the horizon in all
directions seeking chance to scare
up a damage suit.-Lakeland Tele-
