an article from the pen of one of the
participants in the battle that was
fought on Santa Rosa Island on the
night of October It'll, 1861.
/ am satisfied that this article will
be read with interest by some of the
old people now living in this city, who
still have a vivid recollection Of the
stirring events that happened right
in front of the city wharves and will
be doubly interesting to hundreds
now living in Pensacola, who never
heard of the stirring events that hap
pened on Santa Rosa Island on the
night Of October 7th, 1861. Mr.. Will
mer is a warm personal friend Of
mine.

ENGLISH PRODiGAL OF FOOD
Average Family of Great Britain Has
Not Had Meaaer Diet Even
With the War Paging.

Fer the first two years of the war,
and unit! a,few months ago, there was
little curtailmcnt Of foodstufTS in the
average English family. The English
ara heavy eaters, remarks a writer in
Farm and Fireside. The climate calls
fGr plenty OF food. And the average
English family hasn't had d meager
diet, even with war raging.
An illustration of this is the fact
tl:ut German prisoners in England have
three liberal meals a day, and even
theI some Of the British have insisted
their prisoners ought to be better fed.
like ourselves, the English have been
p".digal Of their food and haven't
until lately seen the need of strictly
conserving the supply. In addition to
this disposition to wastcfulIess, the
Eu%li%h have had to divert large sup
Plies Of foodstufrs to France and Italy,
a. well rs to help 0ut Belgium.
The french and Italians live much
more Eparingly in normal times than
the British. Eut they have been ham

The Essentials of Gardeninc.

The essentials for successful gar
dening on small or large scale are
soil, water and cultivation. Much de-
pcnds also on the grower, the season
and the crops selected.
The soil is the storehouse of plant
food. The garden, therefore, should
contain humus or rotted material in
large quantities. The gardener should
remember that about so per cent of
ordinary earth is not soil at all, but
consists of air and water.
Water makes plantfood that is pres
ont freely soluble. Rain and snow
water are soft and contain amm0nia.
The magic of soft water on the plant
world is one of the miracles of good
gardening. us everyone who has con-
trasted the effect of rain with that
produced by spriniling with Il hose
realizes. Plants arc succulcnt and
contain large amounts of water which
they have to draw from the soil.

a Subtle Distinction,

That's the gist of the matter. The
ncutrals' arguments against our plan

gether too subtle for me. Yes, the
neutrals' arguments remind me Of the

RAISED IN SOUTH
Pepper Which Was Formerly Import
ed From Spain and Hungary Now
Grown In United States.

Ten years ago agents of the bureau
tion to paprika pepper. We don't
know what headed them toward pep
per, and the report of their work
doesn't tell us. says writer in Every
body's. Paprika pepper is probably a
mighty small item in our national food
budget. Up to that time we imported
all that we used from Hungary and
Spain. Our agents studied the char
acteristics of the plant, and the soil,
climate and cultivation that it re-
Quired. Then they came back to this
country to discover where paprika
pepper could be proftably grown.
Down in Florence county, South
Carolina, they found what appeared
to be the required soil, climate and
labor conditions. Moreover, the land
there was not giving Il really profitable
account Of itself. After the depart
ment agents had proved by their own
experiments that paprika pepper could
be successfully grown in South Caro-
lima, they furnished its seed to group
Of farmers who agreed to grow it uh-
der their directions. This was to in
sure product of q proper standard.
The industry is now fairly well es-
war with Hungary and Spain at the
same time, probably South Carolina
could supply all the jaded palates OF
this country with a standard brand Of
paprika pepper.
