BLIND MOTHERS OF SOLDIERS
SHOULD NOT BEG.

In Columbus, Ohio, the blind mother OF
a soldier with Pershing was brought before
tie city council for begging in defiance OF
e newly adopted ordinance.
Blind mothers of soldiers should not be
permitted to beg.
The authorities should ser that all such
practices are stopped at once.
Blind mothers Of soldiers should be we'll
cared for by the community so that they
will not need to beg.
This is problem America m:'st face at
once. So far no adequate provision has
been made for those the soldiers leave
behind
OF course, in the new national army
there will be few taken who have depend

WATER DRINKING AT
CRESTVIEW

Crestview, July 8.-Au water
drinkers stand together.
=, Until l came to Crestview, l
thought l was the champion water
drinker of West Florida-especialIy
Ice water in the summer time. Now
the water-cooler in the dining room
OF the hotel is about fifteen feet from
my place at the table, and it is esti-
mated that the first day l was here,
the mattresses walked a total of fif-
teen miles, to keep my glass reIPen-
lshed. l use the plural advisedly-
for several girls were completely ex-
hausted and had to be relieved; they
wore quite a noticeable groove in
the floor.
So the next morning I found a
private pitcher beside my plate, filled
with sparkling beverage, and my
soul, figuratively speaking, lifted up
its hands and gave thanks. For if
the exercise was too violent for the
mattresses, the delays of the previous
day were not at all pleasant to me.
When | went in to breakfast
couple of mornings later. as thirsty
as an acre of corn after a long
drought, the monumental water
pitcher was not at my place 1 looked
around and there it was alongside of
Sheriff Sutton, at the table which
he, Detective Moore, the two pris-
oners, and the prosecuting attorney
| used. l watched him toss down q
couple of glasses and I saw that here
l had found a kindred spirit-that
we were brothers in water, and
pulled up chair and sat in.
l moistened my own clay a few
| times and he looked on, doubt grad
ually growing into admiration. A
smile illuminated his face like the
sunrise. AS the last glass went
gurgling down, he extended his hand
to me, our fingers met in a long
clasp, and he ma e the remark with
which l began this little narrative,
CAN water drinkers stand together"
We are going to have our picture
taken, our hands resting upon the
famous pitcher. It will be a pleasant
souvenir-one that we can hand down
to our posterity unto the third and
fourth generation. Never have I
seen a more accomplished water
drinker than Sheriff Sutton of Okla
| loosa county, and he has done me
the honor to say the same about
me. Greek has met Greek; Pensa-
cola's Roland has found Crestview's

COMMENTS ON MEET
FLORIDA PRESS ASSN.

Bob" Holly, of the Sanford Her
the recent convention of the Florida
Press Association:
The Florida Press Association has
acted wisely in the selection Of Of
ficers for the following year. Wayne
Thomas of the Plant City Courier as
president will bring the association
up to the high mark and keep it
there. Being a young man of most
progressive ideas and anxious to
work Wavne will be on the firing
line at all times and the Florida
Press should not suffer under his able
management. R. w. Storrs of the
DeFuniak Breeze is one of the cold
guard" but he is a young man yet
and is one of the live wires of the
state. Having a position with the
state bureau of live stock he will be
able to travel over Florida and min
gle with the people and whatever
moss he may have acquired in De-
Funiak during the past 100 years will
be rubbed off his back ere the state
press meets in Chris Codrington's
town next year. Tom Appleyard as
| secretary was first appointed by Me-
thusalem himself and has held the
| job down by sheer weight during all
these years and while he does not
live in Florida at the present time
| (being in Tallahassee) he will look
after the secretary's job and issue
| the annual report not later than
| twelve months after date. Gilbery
Leach of the Leachburg Commercial
| is one of the live wires also and
though married manages to attend
| the meetings of the press association
for three days without wiring home,
He is we'll and favorably known over
the state of Florida and Tampa and
being corresponding secretary cor
| responds with the Tribune stenog-
rapher and others.
Mrs. c. V. S. Wilson of the Sara
sofa Times is the real sister of the
Florida press and all the boys love
her just like a sister for she is one
| of the most faithful members and
has been known to travel across the
entire state to attend the meetings
Mrs. Wilson is the treasurer and
loans a dollar each to members tc
get them back home after one of the
meetings.
There is no such organization II
the world as the Florida Press Asso,
citation and we are proud to be one
of them and during the next twelve
months we can scare up many {
laugh over the last meeting and an
ticipate many a good one to come a
the next meeting and look forward
with a lighter heart to that meeting
that means so much in good fellow
ship among the best people in the
world.

who have left dear ones behind who must
be cared for.
America cannot afford to be other than
Justly generous with the mothers and
wives and children of soldiers. No soldier
ought to have to face death in France,
knowing dear ones are in poverty at home.
That is not what this great democracy
wants.
Let us hope the case of this blind mother
in Columbus will arouse the nation to
making proper arrangements for such
cases.
Blind mothers of soldiers should be kept
from begging by abolishing the need for
begging.

Kathlyn Williams and Wallace Reid.
To those unfamiliar with lumber
ing operations in the big tree dis
tricts of California, the announce
ment that Wallace Reid and Kathlyu
Williams will be seen at the Isis to-
morrow in the Morosco-Paramaunt
production Big Timber" will be Of
unusual interest. for not only does
this thrilling drama tell an exciting
story, but it shows the lumber opera
tions as they really exist. One Of the
many thrilling incidents was in the
photographing of an actual forest
fire in which the co-stars take part.
The fire occurred just when it was
needed and shows that now and then
luck is with the moving picture COM

MILLIONS COMPANY

Congratulations to Milton-the town
that mustered into federal service the best
filled company in the state. What Milton
lacked in size, Milton made up in zeal
that's the reason why she beat her numer1-
cal superors. 1t is the same spirit that
enabled few farmers in '76 to beat their
numerical superiors.
As in war so is peace, is NIilton's pro-
gressiveness winning. The ship yards, the
thriving crops, the busy stores, and the
enterprising banks, all bear testimony to
present and crescent prosperity.
