THE OLD MAN AND
HIS GRANDSON

once there was an old, old man
whose eyes were dim and his ears
deaf. He lived with son and wife.
When he ate his food his trembling
hands could not hold it. The wife
scolded him and put him in a cor
ner, then they bought him an
earthen dish to eat from.
One day his trembling hands
could not hold the dish. and drop
ped it on the floor. then she scold-
ed him and bought him a wooden
dish to eat from.
One day the little grandson. 4
years old came in with a few
boards and tried to nan them to-
gether.
What are you making?" asked
the sons wife. 81 am making lit
tie trough for you and father to eat
out Of, when I grow up" At this
both looked at each other and be-
gan to cry.
After this the old man sat. at the
table and not a word was said If
he did spill some of his food on
the table. This little boy taught
these people a lesson.-Contribut-

Once upon time long ago there

Queen was never happy because she
had lost her daughter Princess Dor

Princess Frances was born and was

Cellan. Frances's father was getting
old and SO was Queen Isabelle her
mother. but the King had brother
who was coming to live with them.
Princess Frances was never seen
to smile or look gay or happy but
looked solemn and sad and when
asked why she acted this way She
answered, II will never smile until

covered to u.s." When James. the
Kings brother came he was just
nineteen, four years older than
Frances. Princess Frances would
sometimes join the game James
made but she never smiled.
One day while walking along the
country road Frances saw a little
beggar girl crying by the side of the
road. Her dress was torn, her feet
were bare, her hair, once beautiful
now dirty and matted together.
Princess Frances stopped and said,
Dear child, what is the matter?''

the child.

SCATTERING SUNSHINE

Some of these days when you're
feeling blue,
Therell be some one feeling even
bluer than you.
Just turn about you and the first
one you meet.
Whether at home, at church. or on
the street
Give him greeting-be he friend
or foe
Which will brighten his way as he
onward does go;
You'll never know what a blessing
you gave,
Or how many heartaches you did
save
BY freely giving your little greet
ing
Instead of cross words, which leave
only weeping.

A SURE DEATH

Once there was man who went
grizzly bear hunting. He tramped
all day and did not see any bears,
SO he gave up and started home,
and on the way home he saw a
great big grizzly bear jump out. SO
he shot at him and missed him and
had no more bullets, so he started
to run and his gun got full of snow.
There was snow on the ground.
And then he shot and hit the bear
right in the head and it died with
water ON the brain.-William Brad

MAKE A NEW RECORD FOR
PENSACOLA.

Let Our young men enlist-let them en-
list today. Let them join the army, the
marine corps, the navy or the militia.
While no diShonor will attach to them if,
being liable to combative service under the
seleCtive draft, they. wait for the formal
call in September, nevertheless the honor
will be all the greater if they volunteer
now.
Pensacola, by its Liberty loan over
subscription, has won magnificent prestige.
Are we to lose it now in attaining Our man
hood quota; Forty enlistments day will
be needed to accomplish Florida's military
allotment by Tulv 1-PensacOla, in particu-
lar, is backward.
Let our unincumbered men. not now
engaged in basic industries, volunteer now
and choose the branch of service which ap-
peals to them mOst-let them not wait to
be put, like so many telephone plugs. En-
listing now they will be on the ground
floor for promoqion-Our army Of two mil
lion men will need thousands of non
commissioned officers, and they will be-
chosen from the men who begin training
now. In line for a commission, application
to work will bear speedy fruit in promotion
to lieutenanCy, CaptainCy.
Above all, let them Join the militia. The
company will be mustered in sOOn-a fine
set Of boys, who will distinguish them
selves; it were a shame to put off the
| chance a day longer to be one of them.
Let our Older men, let our women, let
the boys already enrolled devote them
selves to building up such a military sent
ment that by the time September rolls
around, there will be no one left to draft.

PHARMACISTS HOLD
GOOD MEETING

The State Pharmaceutical Associa-
ton held its regular annual meeting
at Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville, on
Wednesday and Thursday Of last
week, and while war conditions hin
dered as large an attendance as in
former years, the proceedings were
important and most interesting, and
those who were there felt amply re-
paid for their trip.
Many subjects of great interest to
the drug trade were discussed, and
the matter of the proposed stamp tax
was thoroughly threshed out Phar-
macists believe that the tax should
be paid by patent medicine manu-
facturers, as was the intention Of the
framtrs of the bill, while the medi-
cine men are threatening to ada the
tax to the invoice price, and thus
force the burden upon the retailer,
who claims that, even now, he has
not margin enough to pay his over
head costs out of the retail price OF
this class of merchandise.
The association had appointed a
committee to visit the Florida Uni
versity, at Gainesville, and investi-
gate the feasibility of establishing i
school of pharmacy there. At the
| meeting DIR. Flint, Of the chemical
department, addressed the association
and showed how the scheme might be
worked out, which met hearty en-
| dOrsement from all present, and au-
| thOrity will be asked from the next
| legislature to put it into effect.
The last session of the meeting
was addressed by several prominent
| members, and by others who were
! especially equipped along the lines of
craftsmanship, bookkeeping, and tech
| meal subjects, These talks were
eminently practical, and lead to bet
ter methods in every day work.
In conclusion the conventiA1 elect

suing year: President, W. A. Rawls,

Seventy Third Day of America in the War
A TWO HUNDRED PER CENT CITY

Pensacola is a two hundred per cent
town. Its response to the Liberty loan
proves it. Had Pensacola raised merely
its allotted quota, it would have been
notable achievement-a record that most
of its sister cities did not make, for Our dis
trict is short Pensacola would have been
a one hundred per cent town. But pertec-
ton was not enough Pensacola demanded

of S675, $50, more than doubled its allow

preston of sacrifice. Most of the five
thousand who bought bond are men OF
little means-cerks, conductors, Carpen-
tiers, laborers and the like, for whom fifty
ar a hundred dollars taken from the annual
earnings mean less meat on the table,
fewer clothes, vacation denied-a sacrifice
which they glory in making because they
want to be behind the government in its
hight for the things they believe.
But though our people had no material
thoughts OF describing their offerings, they
will reap material benefits. The most obvi-
Gus OF these is, OF course, that the money
they are investing will have vastly in
creased purchasing power when the bonds
are redeemed When the war is over,
prices though they will never be as low as
they were three years ago, will be lower
than they are now, and the $50 that will
now buy only two and half barrels of
flour will then buy four, probably more.
And so on with everything else.
