A LONG WAR.

That Germany can't be starved out and
that from purely military standpoint the
central powers have greater man and gun
power than ever before, is the statement Of
Herbert c. Hoover.
His military judgment was doubtless OBJ
tanned from the allied headQuarters-it CO.
incides with the recent declaration, by one
in position to know, before the British
parliament; but in view of the many stories
of hunger with which we have been encour-
aged to believe that Germany was ap-
preaching exhaustion, HOover's statement
concerning the food supply is especially i'm
pOrtant.
Hoover is one of the worlds experts on
food supply, and it is as an authority who
utters only demonstrated facts that he
makes the statement.
Even assuming that Germany "cut
loose, SAYS Hoover, and ate as it pleased,
its supply of food is sufficient to last two
years.
But Germany is eating scientifically
starvation therefore is indefinitely post
poned. The cattle are practically intact
that is, only the natural increase has been
used. Hoping Tor a crop failure will &C

like that Of our enemies, decreasing from
similar causes. The 1917 harvest OF France
of England, and of Italy will be the lowest

by the way, is the lowest in thirteen years

Mrs. Dora Donaldson is one of the

gOodly number from Pensacola.
After devotional services, led by
Miss Marie Buhlmair, of Maryland,

The meeting was featured by a
splendid address of welcome by Mrs.

missionaries, report of Corresponding
Secretary Miss Kathleen Mallory,
then the wonderful financial report of
Mrs. w. c. Lownds Of Maryland,

fine report of our president, Mrs.

And so everywhere throughout West
Florida. Land costs more because it is
worth more. Its money value is rising be
cause its creative value is being discovered.
Even the most confirmed pessimist on the
agricultural situation must acknowledge
that $3.50 land would not sell for S25, if its
productive power was not $25-for there is
no shortage Of land in the United States
it is not a question OF these acres or no
dirt.
As many fail on the farm as go bankrupt
in busincSs-but because of the scarcity of
development here, each failure is magni-
fied-realIy an indirect compliment to the
country, where only good things are ex-
pected, that disappointment should be
taken so hard.
When the right methods are employed,
success crowns the efforts, so it is the ur-
celebrated successes that are fixing the
land values.
AS successes multiply, land values will
rise still higher. The South is in the sad
die and West Florida is the button on For
tunes cap!

away every season heretofore by the
canning factories in the great fruit
districts of California, are now sold as
fuel and bring $3.50 ton retail. For
merly the seeds were considered too
hard for fuel, but recently it was
found that when heated in a stove

and ignite, after which they burn with
an intense glow like that of anthra'
