In addition to the main result, that of
selling the two billion dollar bond issue and
the equally important result of placing the
bonds in every section of the country and
among all classes OF Americans. the cam
paign for the sale of the Liberty Loan
bonds has had a great educational value
The people Of the United States are much
better informed now Of their governments
finances and methods of finance than ever
before. Hundreds Of thousands of people
whose idea of government bonds was vague
and indefinite are now not only pOssess0rS
OF Liberty Loan bonds, but know what a
government bond is and the peculiar worth
and value of such securities.
They have been informed Of what other
governments have done in the way of bond
issues, of the wealth Of this country corr
Jared with its national debt, and the wealth
of other nations as compared with their
national debts
The campaign has opened and developed
a vast mrket for future bond issues of the
United States and has opened up TO The
American people and made them acquaint
ed with a field Of investment they knew
little of before, 1t has given them invest
ments for their savings the equal of which
they never had before.

WEALTH IN POTATOES.

Commenting on the hurry order received
IN Montgomery for ten carloads of Irish
potatoes, at 1925 bushel, an order which
cOuld not be supplied, the Advertiser of
that city remarks:
ANY farmer who has had practical experience N
growing potatoes knows that there is a profit
raising potatoes per bushel The farmer
complains, justice, that there is ready and
certain market for crop except That
has changed; there a ready market food
stufs and the market will for number of
years at least 1t is unfortunate the Of
this section did have warning of great
ton could and should supply several hundred carloads
OF course, the same would apply to any
hing to eat, not only i'll Montgomery, but i'll
every other part of the south, particularly
in West Florida and Pensacola.
Counting the seed, fertilizer, cultivation,
etc., a net profit of $50 an acre is easily
possible in Irish potatoes. Higher averages
have been made, but this is what can be eN-
pected as a general thing,
The time for planting the Fall crop Of
Irish potatoes draws on apace. Our farmers
should put in generous acreages. In the
Gonzalez region, we note with pleasure that
they are preparing to do just this thing
let the example spread.
\ carload Of potatoes shipped means
about S400 net proht-foreign money
brought here-mail ordering reversed.
Suppose we shipped ten carloads? We can
ship a hundred or a thousand if we but
raise the goods

BILLS LETTERS

Dear George:
Its great to have a good mother
I have been very much distressed
over what I feared might be her atti-
tude toward my enlisting. But I need
not have worried. She is a better
patriot than l am. While I am tax
ing a chance of being cold, going
hungry and possibly getting shot, she
is giving up both of her sons. Ny
brother enlisted last February, and is
now with Pershing's division, where
ever it is. and I will go when the
regiment is called. In answer to my
letter telling her of my enlistment,
she said, Il hate to see you go, my
boy, because YOU are the only son
I have left, but I cannot help having
a sense of pride in the fact that I am
the mother of two boys who love their
country we'll enough to offer them
selves IN its service. | say | hate
Ia see You go, and I do, but f you
did not go, while I would love you
Just the same, ] would not have the
same respect for YOU | have now.
hope you will come back to me safe
and sound, but if you do not, I will
find some consolation in the thought
that YOU and I have made some re
turn to the land that gave us birth. "
Soon after I read mothers letter,
I was on an open car and a lady be
hind me was expressing her sentl-
ments on this subject in tones | could
not help but overhear. She could
not bear to think of her dear John
having to associate with all those
rough soldiers, and having to live in
hot
kind of food Besides, John was not
very strong and the exposure might
make him i'll. There's no reason for
| him to go when the country can get
so many others"
I listened to that line of stuff for
a while and thought-but what's the
use, comparisons are odious anyway
! Well. George, the next time I write
to YOU I may be Corporal Bill"
The captain picked out a bunch the
| other night for special instruction
with the view of developing some
| non-comn?issioned officers, and l was
! among the number. The company
! drills only once a week, but we have
| to 90 to it three times a week, We
| get special training in the squaC
movements, mounting guard, shooting
! on the target range, sending and re
ceiving sinals by the semaphore sys
tenn and various other things. It keep;
US busting but it is all mighty in
teresting. We are going to be mus
tered into the federal service some
time this week I guess that means
we will be leaving old Pensacola pref
ty soon, now.
Regards,
BILL.

KNIFE ON CORNs
CAUSES LOCK JAW
TELLS HOW TO LOOSE A TENDER
CORN so 1T LIFTS OUT WITH
OUT PAIN.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to ust a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and all,
lifts out with the fingers.
II is a sticky substance which dries
the moment it is applied and is said
to simply shrivel the corn without in
flaming tissue or skin. 1t is claimed
that a quarter of an ounce will cost
very little at any of the drug stores
but is sufficient to rid ones feet OF
every hard or soft corn or callous.
You are further warned that cut
ting AT 4 corn is \ suicidal habit

The battle that is being fought in

as the silent drama.
Pensacola ladies who are learning
how to can will soon be applying the

As we understand it, Governor
Cats considered the sheriff of Citrus
county a lemon and plucked him.
Judging by the way our allies have
refused Kaiser Bills olive branch,
there must be whip hidden in it
somewhere.
In view of the prohibition amend
ment to the bill, it is feared that the
food fight in the senate will develop
into a booze fight.
Old man Connie still considers him
self the king of Greece, which effec-
tually answers the classic question
who's looney now"
Many people who were willing I'd
do their bit in investing in three and
a half per cent patriotism are unwill-
ing to give two bits for the Red

Local Produce Market

A general cleanup of produce on hand was the order of the day yes terday and there was in consequence very little perishable stock left to carry over Sunday. Bartlett pears and peaches from 'the valley and bellefleur apples and a few cassa oa melons from the coast featured the fruit market. Local grapes were also a good seller.
 The produce men and growers are hoping for cooler weather within the next ten days so that small fruits and vegetables will begin to grow again. The market has been almost wholly stocked with these from the coast the past two months, owing to the heat here burning up the small stuff The supply of honey dew melons was limited Saturday. Since this melon became commercial fac tor there has been created a steady demand assuring growers of good market for the melon next year.
