RUSSIAN FARMERS
KEEP WHEAT STOCKS

Petrograd, July 21.-How is Rus
STA to induce its peasant farmers to
part with their precious stocks of
wheat. That is the question which is
wrinkling the brow of the Minister of
Supply NJ. Peshekbonoff. Discussing
the subject before the AllRussian
Congress of Workmens and Soldiers
delegates, he said:
"The greatest difficulty of the food
situation just now is that the peas
ants refuse to give up their wheat.
In the old days. wheat was to be had
in exchange for money. But now
money is cheap, and there is little to
be got for it. The peasant is there
fore, extremely unwilling to exchange
his wheat for more money. The peas
ant population has lost its faith in
money and stocks to the one thing
which it has in its hands.
There are plenty of things which
the peasant needs more than he neeS:H
his wheat, but unless you can make
these things available to him in his
markets you won't be able to get his
wheat. The forcible seizure of wheat
from many million peasants is impos-
sible. Yet something must be done to
prevent starvation in our cities. If
starvation should come to Petrograd,
now power on earth could prevent
the collapse of whatever government
happens to be in power.
"The task before the ministry of
supply, then, is to secure for the
peasants supplies of manufactures
and wares which they need. 1t is
getting back to first principles OF
barter. The task will be difficult be-
cause of the lack of raw materials
and the disorganization of industry.
Meanwhile the peasants are hiding
their wheat in caches so unsuitable
that serious loss is certain to result"

NEW PROHIBITION
FEATUREsINsWEDEN

Stockholm, July 21.-Devotees of
distilled liquors have fallen on evil
days in Sweden. Restriction after re-
striction has been placed on sales
both over the bar and in bottles. Since
June l, it has been impossible to be
served with any kind of liquor with
out an accompanying order for a
warm meal costing about 40 cents.
Even then no more than fifteen con-
tiltors, about five fluid ounces, of
liquor may be served in all, and not
more than a third of this may con-
sist of the strong brandy which, in
Sweden, has from time immemorial,
taken the place of the American pro-
pradial cocktail.
One result of the new order I'M
questionably has been a great waste
of food, for countless meals are or
dered and either left untouched or
else slightly toyed with and mixed
with cigar and cigarette ashes by
careless people At the better class
restaurants and hotels restrictive
meals" corresponding to the prop
erty sandwich" of some American
cities, are served. These consist gen
orally of one fried egg. Before the
recent change in regulations, which
prescribes Cooked, warm" meal, the
restrictive meal" was wont to con-
sist of an apple or a few grapes.
Drinking thus becomes an expen-
sive luxury. To obtain one whiskey-
and-soda, for instance, one pays, ir
the better places, the equivalent of &C
cents for his meal" the same Rol
whiskey, 35 OGRE for a bottle of self
ger or soda, and a tip to the waiter
The total amounts to more than one
dollar at the present rate of ex
change.

Farmers and Stock Raising
By C. ]. SETTERLIND.

Chipley, July 21.-As one of the
pioneers in raising and breeding of
pure breed stock in West Florida, |
have taken a great pleasure and IN
terest in all the movements for
better farming and stock raising.
The farmers and people in West
Florida should be thankful that they
nave IN their midst a newspaper as
the Pensacola Journal to advocate
and push stock raising-and the re-
suit begins to show, With the build
ing of seventy-fve thousand
tlo,OOOOO) dollar packing plant at
Chlpley, all by local capital, also one
under organization at Pensacola.
These packing plants will upbuild
West Florida.
1t will also learn the farmers to
raise hogs from $50 to 400 pounds.
The farmers must also learn that
they cannot raise $50 pound hog out
Of 100 pound SOW and a runt boar.
They must learn that it will take a
300 pound SOW and a 500 pound boar
to produce a $50 pound hog at 8
months old. When they do, it will
be money in hog raising in West
Florida.
They will also have to learn that
1t takes a close study and attention
to be a successful stock raiser, It
takes a love for all animals to get
profit out of stock. The farmers who
do not have the love stay out. The
farmer that goes into his stock lots
with a whip, a cuss and a kick will
never be a success A kind word

REPR|sALS BEING
DESIRED IN LONDON

London, July 21.-Reprisals upon
German n-combatants for the re-
cent air raids upon London are osz
posed by the Most Reverend Thomas
Davidson, archbishop of Canterbury,
in letter he has written to Sir Thos.
Barlow, in response to a request to
indicate the principles that ought to
be considered. The archbishop says:
"My own point is best expressed in
the words of a resolution passed, on
my motion, by the bishops of the pro-
vince of Canterbury. We recorded
our conviction that the principles of
morality forbid a policy of reprisal
which has, as a deliberate object, the
killing and wounding of non-combat-
ants.
The key of the situation lies in the
intention of the act. Of course in one
sense 'reprisap is of the essence of
war. We lombard fortified towns,
the object being to harm the enemy's
combatant forces.
But quite different is an attack,
the direct object of which is to harm
or kill non -conbatants, either for rea-
sons of vengeance or in order to pro-
mote terror, or in the hope of deter
ring the enemy from perpetuating
prisaP in which some people wish US
to indulge.
an my belief such action is we
were so mistaken as to adopt it,
would be altogether futile as letter
rant; the Germans would always out
distance US in ruthlessness."

a pet, a little scratching on the heads
of the pigs, learn the hogs to know
you. When the pigs turn. up their
nose and grunt when they see you
coming then look out for profit. He
is content, feels good, and is not
afraid Of you. He is not looking for
the whip and kick.
l was raising pure bred Berkshires
for several years, and still believe
that it is the hog for the South. But
the farmer who goes into hog rails
ing ought to consider and pick the
breed he like the best regardless of
what any one say If he likes POLAND
China, get them. If another one like
Duroc Jerseys, he ought to get them.
Get what you believe will be the best
hog for you. Then you will have
success-if you do. You will pet
them. love them and make money.
Twenty years ago there was a
small bunch of US pioneers breeding
hog, good hogs not for the money,
for the love of our West Florida and
to help to build up our country. To-
dav our dreams have come true, West
Florida is a stock country. This
small bunch of breeders ought to be
honored for their work and The Jour
nal ought to invite them to tell about
their experiences in the raising of
pure bred hogs. I will mention men
like Dan Hughes, Ponce de Leon;
r. w. Storrs, DeFuniak Springs
Chas. Simpson, Milton; P. K. Yonge,
Southern States Lumber Co. We
worked all the time to get our farm

Columbia County Fair on Americas
part in the war urged enactment by
Congress Of legislation which would
prohibit publication Of newspapers
printed in the tongue Of any nation
with which the United States is Mt war.

pcndencc, Of Washington's Farewell
Address and Linco7's great speeches" d"
the former President said in part
"Thc leading German papers Of this
country have been scandalously disloyal
10 the United States and to humanity.
"The obscene cruelty and brutality
of the German armies. under the direc-
tion of the German government, have
been Of such unspeakable foulness that
it is a crime against this nation and
against all mankind directly or indi-
rectly to uphold Germany. and all who
do not heartily back the United States

against Germany are guilty Of this
crime and are dsloval to this country.
Calls Prof:eers Enemies
"Above all, any man, and especially
any Senator or Congressman or editor,
who seeks to exempt Americans Of Ger
man descent from service in the army
against Germany is a traitor pure and
simple. He should be proceeded against
under the law, if possible, and If that
is not possible the law should be
amended so as to make his offence a

Americanism, Colonel Roosevelt said

HaywoOd's Activities
"Rig Bill" Haywood, founder and
chief organizer OF the Industrial
Workers Of tho World, has been IN the
shadow Of the courts for nearly htteen
wears. His speech at Carnegie nan
on the night Of April 10, 1914, predict
ing an industrial strike the moment
the United States went to war with
Mexico. was branded as seditious by
Attorney General Reynolds. Ever
since the United States broke of dip
lomatic relations with Germany Hay
woods actions and utterances have
been carefully watched by the Depart
mcnt Of Justice.
1t has been Haywood's aim to build
up = machine that would permit an-
skilled labor 10 rule the world, regard
less of the means employed to bring
about such rule.
1--WE are all going to ride in auto
mobiles, or no one is going TO ride in
them" was one Of his recent prOcla-
nations.
Haywood has repeatedly denied that
there was any German influence back
ing his propaganda.
Haywood's closest call came in May,
1907. when he was placed on trial on
a charge of completely in the murder of
Ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg Of
Idaho. He was at that time secretary
and treasurer of the W&tern Fedora
tion of Miners. After a sensational
trial, which lasted two months, Hay
wood was acquitted.
In April, 1913, the labor agitator was
indicted on a charge of melting riots
among the striking Paterson silk
workers. He was sentenced by Re
cor6cr Carroll TO six months hard la
Dor. but was subsequently released on
a writ Of habeas corpus.
He had been arrested the previous
year in Boston for advocating a world
wide strike among mill workers at
Lawrence.

Colonel Roosevelt warned against
governmental restriction of profits to
the extent that would reduce produc-
tion. urging caution against "unreason-
ably low prices, especially as regards
what the government itself uses and as
regards exports" he advocated "heav-
ilv graduated Inheritance and income
taxes" which, he asserted, should fol-
