EDITOR TELLS THE TRUTH.
Gets Peeved over Typographical Err.
rors and Starts Socethinq.


A West Texas editor got tired of
being called a lair" because of an
occasional typographical error or
slight disarrangement of the facts in
publishing a common place news item.
In his wrath, he announced in bold
face type as follows:
"a lot of people in this town fall
out with the editor and brand him as
a liar when the ordinary human mis-
takes of life show up in a newspaper.
You have a little charity and fellow
fellin' for every man in town but your
editor. You claim that you want the
facts, and id if l don't give 'em to
you. Read the next issue if this
sheet and you'll see some facts with
the bark off. I'll admit that l have
been a liar, an editorial liar, ever
since l have been editing this sheet,
but have never printed a lie in these
columns except to save somebody's
feelings from being hurt. I'm not
afraid of any of you and I'll be dad
blamed if don't print the plain truth

The Sixth Biennial Session.

Two years later the idea took defi-
mite form holding the first big meet
ing in the city of Chicago. The meet
ing became a popular one from the
start aud has constantly gained in i'm
portance and numbers so that the
meeting which gathers in Kansas City
August 25 to 30, 1918, will not be an
experiment but a great militant host
which comes back to Missouri, its
place of birth, after IL or Ia years
of proved worth and merit.
The Masonic Family Represented.
The popularity of the movement
soon attracted the other Masonic
bodies and one by one nearly all ot
the organizations have fallen in with

GREAT MASONIC GATHERING TO
MEET IN KANSAS CITY 1918.
The International Conference Of
Knights Templars and other
Bodies-Preparations Un-
der Way.

The International Conference Of
Knights Templars which meets in
Kansas City, August, 1918, is the great
est Masonic gathering upon the globe
among our people. Its drawing
strength is variously estimated at
from 10000 to 10000. At the 10th Bi-
ennial Session in Chicago last year
twenty-one Masonic jurisdictions were
represented and it was predicted at
that time that the Kansas City meet
ing would prove even of greater draw
ing power.
A Missouri Idea.
The International Conference is of
Missouri birth and was first proposed
by the Chas. w. Prentice of st. Louis
was then Grand = Commander of
Knights Templars. Grand Master
Chinn had called a worlds congress
of Masons to meet in the city Of st.
Louis during the Worlds Fair in 1904
and it was at this gathering that Sir
Prentice proposed that the fraterniza-
tion among Templars' be kept up
every two years.

CUT THE WEEDS!

Pensacola, with a spring cleanup to its
credit and its back yards devoted to gar
dens, is better off, from a standpoint Of
hygiene and beauty, than it has ever been.
Many there are who, after such high
praise, are willing to rest on their laurels-
or, rather, oars-but to those who love
Pensacola, only perfection will suffice, and
that is the reason why we call attention to
the weeds
Section $50, of the Code, prescribes that
it shall be unlawful to allow weeds above
the height Of eighteen inches in any lot or
property within the city limits, If the
owners will not have them cut, the work
shall be done by the city authorities and
a lien taken on the property to defray the
expense Penalty is prescribed in 500 fine
or 80 days in Jail, or both.
BY weeds are meant ''all rank vegetable
growth which exhale unpleasant or noX-
ious odors, and also high and rank vege-
table growth that may conceal pools of
water trash, filth or any other deposits
which may be detrimental to health
Weeds are now considerably over eight
cen inches in height; they are unsightly
they encourage insect life, they cover a
multitude of sanitary ills. Let them be
cut-let Pensacola spare no pains to keep
its natural beauty undimmed.

SPIRIT OF AMERICANS.

First in France" was the enlistment
slogan Of the marine corps, the arm Of the
service, significantly enough that first at
tanned military strength; and now the war
department is making the same appeal for
the regular army. Join the regular army,
it says, and see immediate service in
France.
Now had the department thought it
would get more recruits by CLOSING the
perils of service abroad it would do So but
not offers the supreme inducement.
Stirring tribute, that to the mettle Of
Americans! The nation as a whole is not
yet awake, but to those who do realize the
peril, the idea Of moments unnecessary
delay when a bleeding civilization beckons
them to the field Of honor, is into1erabl2
Not a man who enlists but knows the
average span Of an officer Of the line or
private but not a man en1ists who does not
believe his life can best be filled by striking
at least one blow for the ideals he learned
at his mothers knee, for wronged women.
for violated churches, for desecrated
humanity.
AS Alan Seeger, the Young American
poet who enlisted as a private in the For
eign Legion, wrote: "Nothinq but good
we'll. Come out of the ordeal safe and
sound, he has had an experience in the light
of which all life thereafter will be three

he can face the unknown without mis-

Some there are who can not comprehend

glory Of sacrifice, what success can life

But the others-those who realize their
duty and are happy to do twill undes-

Development Wealth is what you can do,

These are the principles by which we
must measure the Liberty Loan in order
to appreciate its tremendous value to the
American people. Leave patriotism en-

tion in banking, an incentive to enterprise.
People are subscribing who were barely
able to pay for the necessities of life; men
'vvho never had a savings account before

One Of the most distressing objects
in the world is a June bride without
a groom.
view of the fact that the legis-
lature closes today, the people need
no longer think of Friday as an IN
lucky day.
No naval engagements having been
reported along our coast for some
weeks, we presume that the weather
Is too hot to dynamite stumps.
Pedestrians are urged to keep with

streets, for if they are run over and
killed there, it will be an accident,
pure and simple.
Inasmuch as the beans we planted
some time ago are now in bloom, we
feel considerably fortified for our
battle with the celebrated wolf, and
are not so worried over the rise in
coal.
The Tageblatt quotes Kaiser Bill

APPEAL TO THE WOMEN.

Even as the women of oIden times gave
their hair to make bow strings, so today
does the national defense depend very
largely upon them, 1--WE should make
every woman in the country" says Miss
Ida Tarbell, "even though she lives on a
back street in Podunk, feel that she is a
soldier in this war" She is, and that is
why Secretary Baker is appealing to the
women of the land to make June ), national
registration day, the occasion of a great
public festival and patriotic celebration,
As we have already said, nothing elabo-
rate is desired, nor would it be appropri-
ate. The occasion is too serious, too
solemn.
A patriotic band concert would be suf-
hcient to signalize the day-and that is all
that is necessary-to mark it off from the
rest Of the week; but whatever the ar
engagements, we look to the women to com
pete the details.
Even as they have already taken the lead
in Red Cross and conservation work, so
they should take the lead now in encour-
aging the men who go to fight the battle
of liberty, to honor their chosen defenders.

NCURDY TELLS WHY
AWARD WAS MADE

Editor Of The Journal:
In justice to myself and the board
Of county commissioners. will answer
why the board didn't give the con-
tract Of the Moline bridge to the low
est bidder.
On February 9th, when the bids
We're opened, the matter of awarding
contract was thoroughly discussed.
We decided to not accept any bid
until we heard from the Santa Rosa
county board, as to their intentions
in regards to building the approach
on their side of the river. A commit
tee of two. Mr.. Hardy and myself, be-
ing appointed to meet with the Santa
Rosa county board, which we did. At
this meeting it was decided no action
would be taken until the members of
the Santa Rosa board had looked over
the grounds, which they were unable
to do for some time on account of
very high water.
Our next meeting was in Moline.
on May 10th, when it was decided we
would refer conditions to our respec-
tive boards at next meetings, which
was done
Now, why was the bid given to
u1EHCSL UluueL
Mr.. Scruggs, highest bidder, his bid
being $13,690, wired Chairman White
to increase his bid on account of a
rise in material Mr.. belong, in per
son, withdrew his bid.
Mr.. Rommell informed the board of
Mr., Gays withdrawal for the Vir
ginia Bridge Co., and Mr.. Converse
being present, said, "my bid will
stand as it is as we had material
bought before the rise came" Mr..
Converse's plan was thoroughly dis
cussed. There being present, Mr..
Reese, county attorney, Mr.. RommeI,
county engineer; and a committee
from Moline. 1t was decided to award
the contract to the Converse Bridge
&, Steel Company, their bid being
| $4,000.
There was no lower bidder"

Inactive Kidneys
Cause Disease

I shall not soon forget the benefits derived
from the use of Foley Kidney Pills" A.
Godfrey, Forest Grove, Oregon.
Too much work and too little work
seem to have about the same effect
on persons past middle age. Proper
action OF the kidneys IS necessary to
good health. They act as a filter
and remove from the blood poisonous
waste matter which If permitted to
remain in the system leads to many
complications.
Many nervous, tired, rundown men
and women suffer from pains in the
back and sides dizzy spells, bladder
weakness, sore muscles and stiff
joints and fail to realize tn at rheuma-
tism, diabetes or even Brights dis

II you have cause to believe that
your kidneys are weak, disordered or
