very cream Of the intelligence of the
senate. It was a pleasure to do in
tollectual fencing with these gentle
men.
But I'm a Pensacolian, and wish
specially t. speak Of our citizen, our
senator, John E, Jones. He is studiOus.
He is quiet. He is a worker. Not that
only, his heart is not dislocated, but
on the right spot of his anatomy. He
sided with the laboring men of Es-
Gambia. He aided in for a just and
fair deal to all, including the employ
ers of labor, and had all the members
of the committee worked as hard and
honestly as our senator, there would
now be grazing our statute books, a
wOrkmen'S compensation act, of which
we could justly feed proud.
1t did not become a law, because it
got crowded off the calendar, during
the rush of the last days of the SEES
sion.
Now, Senator Jones' term expires
with this session, but we need him,
to further our compensation act two
years from now. No one will know

POTATOES AND PEACE.

Germany believes her submarines will
end this war. England thinks her navy S
winning the day. France pins her faith to
the 75's. America looks to the airplane.
1t is not the first time that supreme i'm
portance has been assigned to the merely
spectacular The most important factor in
the war the potato-the humble white po-
tatO. to which the adjective Irish is some
times applied.
Germany's phenomenal resistance NAV
be measured in terms of potatoes-her crop
averaging over a, billion and a half bushels
I year, with a population of &C. 1916 900, is
Jour times the production of France with
only twice the population The combined
potato crop of Germany and Austria, in
deed, over two billion bushels, is nearly
three times as large as the combined crop
OF England, Wales, Ireland. Scotland Bel
GUM, and France. In other Words Ger
many with tWenty-three million fewer
people to feed, has over two billion more
bushels of food
Now the United States has entered the
fray That the United States is unpre-
pared, that there is scarcity of food, is
we'll known. Or in terms of potatoes, our
crop last year amounted to only 285 1871
UOO bushels, against 309OOOOOO the wear
before, and 409921, 600 the wear before
that With population twenty-five times
greater than Ireland's the United States
produced only twice as many of the basic
tubers. With a population one-third larg-
er than Germany's, we have only one-sixth
as many potatoes.
The United States France, Belgium.
England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland
produce only half as many potatoes as Ger
many and Austria-Hungary; and Ger
manys increasing military strength has
kept pace with her potato development.
Too much Importance can not be given
the Potato-especially the dried potato In
1900 Germany had 10 factories for driving
potatoes; in 1910, 254; in 1911, 327 Sub
sequent development has no doubt been in
proportion.
Drying potatoes is a simple and CHEAP
process: they are washed, peeled and

SAYS STATE SENATOR JONES
FRAMED WORK NFN'S ACT

This communication IS dedicated,
first to the principle Of good govern
ment, and second to the principle that
due praise and recognition of worthy
services should be given to person,
while that person is yet among the
living, rather than flowers at the
grave.
Some six months ago, I interested
myself in behalf of the wage earners
of our good state. It seemed to me,
that we were dereliCt in our duty to
properly provide for our labOring peO-
pie in case they suffered injury while
at work
The inquiry when a poor fellow IS
hurt now is, "WhO was to blame ?"
That is all wrong. The real, sensible
thing to do, is not to try and saddle
the workman with the blame of the
accident nor yet the employer. The
man is hurt. The real inquiry is, or
shold be, How much help does he
need ."
I interested myself in trying to
have our last legislature pass a work
mans compensation act.
The different wOrkmen's Organiza-
! tions of our city and state all helped
I went to Tallahassee to help pass
such a law, that would do justice to
the laborers of our s-~te and to the
/ employers also.
| When I got acquainted with the in
| dividual members of the senate judi
ciary committee numbered B, | was
surprised at the degree of intelligence
and diligence shown. Law making
is not a picnic. It means solid, sub
stantial, hard. persistent and insistent
work and study. Really it was a pleas
ant and agreeable surprise to measure
| the mental caiber of the senators on
| this committee.
There was our senator, John B.
Jones. and the chairman of the COM
mittee, Senator Calkins, and Senators
Farris and Alexander and others. The

steamed, then dried on slowly revolving
drums or cylinders heated with steam. The
raw potato contains so percent water and
may be kept only limited length of time:
the potato fake contains fifteen percent
watt. I'd may be kept indefinitely.
Pot coes do we'll in West Florida, where
two crops a year are possible. They are
an easy crop to produce. We must plant
more potatoes, we must develop drying
plants. Next month is the time for the
fall planting of potatoes. Let every farm
become munitions plant for making the
real bullets with which this war is to be
won

more about it than he, and building
upon the work already done, he, of all
members, will be most likely to bring
Il upon the statute books.
Two days ago, I talked to the man
of our city who knows the intrinsic
value of our legislators better than
any other man in this state That
man said, at would be a calamity not
to return Senator Jones to our next
legislature"
So, in behalf of all parties interest
ed in a just workmen's compensation
act and good legislation generally,
wish hereby publicly to thank Senator
Jones for his good record in the past
and ask him to be patriotic enough to
run again to succeed himself, and then
complete the good work, and continue
to be a shining example of good cit
izenship in his services as our senator.

There is less silver bullion on the
