RELIABLE FERRY BOAT
SERVICE AT FLORIDATOWN

Editor Pensacola Journa:
The road between Ferry Pass and
Pensacola is one of the best graded
hard roads in Escambia county and
needs very little improvement. The
road from F1oridatown to Milton is a
graded highway which will compare
with any hard road anywhere along
the gulf coast. This is the Old Span
ish Trail route and hundreds of tour
lists and others come this way every
week.
The road by way of Mulat is bad
enough. However, the road by way
of the Ferry Pass Floridatown ferry
is good in each direction, and is be-
ing used by all who know the facts.
The county commissioners of both
Escambia and Santa Rosa counties
have done about all they could thus
far to keep this road in good condi-
ton, for which all residents along the
Old Spanish Trail highway are quite
thankful.
Moral-Come by way of Ferry Pass
and Floridatown when desiring to
cross Escambia bay and you will find
good roads and a reliable ferry boat
service all the time.
Yours,
G. A. SMYTHE.

THE ETERNAL KING.
The King is dead!

Inc hng is deaQ!
Two days of fun and frolic, nirth and
merriment, joy and jubilee-not counting
the pleasures of anticipation-came to an
end last night with the coronation of the
King of Happiness and the Queen of
Smiles.
What was the wonderful secret of it all?
Was there any less care in the world on
these two days? Were there fewer disap-
pointments? Less sickness of the body or
of the heart in hope deferred? Was the
$ world even so much as the whit of one whit
tie different, that men and women lost the
knack of perpendicular wrinkles and began
to develop the horizontal lines of laughter?
That they forgot to worry and were not de-
pressed, even by one of the meanest,
searchingest, nastiest rains of the year?
{ Yes-and no. The mere physical world
was the same-it was the mental world that
! was different, and that is the world in which
; we live As creation is full of cosmic noises
which we hear not, our ears not being at
tuned to their vibrations, as the blind mans
inability to appreciate the sunset can not
: alter the splendid fact, so if our hearts are
shut to the evil of life, it will pass us by,
and see ing for the beautiful, we add to the
happiness of reality, the ecstacy of appre-
citation.
Our two days of fun and frolic, mirth and
merriment JOY ard jubilee, were not due
to tie childish mummery, the elemental
S nakc-belieYe of the mask; the cause was
internal, not external; they were due not
to others, but to ourselves, who are so
& strangely. so Historically constituted that
a habys laugh may set us furious and a dis
S agreeable rain may make us laugh, if we
/ but will it.
Our entire life may be as joyful as the
/ last two days--if we but will it. The price
is within the reach of all-even of the rich
Happiness is the fruit of hope, not envy;
happiness is the appreciation of life as it is,
not dreaming of the impossible; happiness
is rapture over the rainbow, and not the
torture of the sack of gold at its end.
Long live the King Of Content

Jujube. Pistache, Chestraits, lido, and
Other NeoU Plants Imported

of nuts, the variety of pistache found
in Central and Western Asia is being
used. At present the entire supply
of nuts used in the coloring and fla
voring of ice cream and candy comes
from abroad, but it is said there is
no reason why this country should
not grow its own supply. The Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin valleys of
California appear to be we'll suited
to this industry.
Chinese persimmons and Chinese
Chestnuts are also being tested. 1t
is believed the Chinese chestnut may
prove exceptionally valuable because
of its power to resist the chestnut
bark disease, which is doing so much
damage among the native chestnuts.
The persimmon, it is thought, might
be grown commercially in California
and in those sections in the south
where the temperature does not fall
much below zero.
In China and Japan dried persim-
mons are a staple food, and there
seems to be no reason why they
should not be eaten largely in the
future in this country.
Still another importation is ar
early sweet cherry which has been in
troduced from Tangsi, China. This
may be profitable to growers as 1
cherry for the eastern markets.
The udo is new salad plant from
Japan that may be grown in practi
cally every state. This is grown il
much the same way as asparagus
and may be cooked also in the same
way.

AERO STATION MAN
WINS FIRST PRIZE

A costume depicting Uncle Sam,
and worn by an aero station man
named Bugg, won first prize in the
maskers' parade yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Bugg, strolling about the street
with the military bearing of the good
sailor that he is, attracted consider
able attention and when Bertram
Coleman made a happy presentation
speech, awarding the gold watch to
the winner, he took occasion to re-
mark how very appropriation and
what good discretion was shown in
the selection of the character. Asked
his place of residence, the happy win
ned stated that he was on duty at
the aero station, an admission which
brought forth cheers from those who
heard of it. The prize was a gold
watch.
Miss Buchanan, dressed as Poca-
hontas. easily won the lady's prize, a
gold wrist watch. Long before the
judges announced their decision in
this contest, Miss Buchanan, by pop
ular approval, had been selected as
the lady's prize winner.
The prize was also presented her
by Mr.. Coleman, in happy speech
in which he also took occasion to con-
graduate the young lady on her nice
selection Of character.

The SCRATCH PAD.
BY THOMAS EWING DAeNEY.

The chief difference between King
George and Lloyd George is that the
former fell off his horse and the lat
ter is preparing to fall on the Kaiser.
Now that Milwaukee has announc-
ed its allegiance to the United States,
we have hopes for Cincinnati.
Bill Taft is anxious to serve his
country; and in the event of war, we
suggest that he go up in balloon
and drop on a German army corps.
AS Kaiser Bill is not insisting on a
place in the sun any more, it is OBJ
vious that he has become reconciled
to cold feet.
Reading the European war news
today is almost as exciting sport as
perusing last years baseball dope.
Doubtless it is because the fatigues
of travel are so great that many peo-
pie have deserted the water wagon
for quiet seat on the keg.
One Of the things that turn an
EDITORS hair gray and give him that
furtive look is to refer to the we'd
ding of two prominent people as an
"auspicious event" and have the limo
typer make it read suspicious
event"
Even the pacifcist will be willing
to take off their coats for Uncle Sam
in the summertime.
The disbanding of the militia is
alarming news to those throbbing
patriots who stayed at home and who
will now see their best girls hanging
on the arms of the men who, having
offered themselves once already, now
stand ready to do their duty when
their country again calls.
Better a wooden head than a cop
perhead.
Because of the high skirts and thin
stockings, it shouldn't be at all hard
for the Wichita, Kas., police to find
the lady described as having "G'

ENGLAND HoNORS LINCOLN.

Probably the most intelligent apprecia-
ton of Lincoln this year came from Eng
land, which is making him national hero,
as it has already done with George Wash
ington.
AS the New York Times remarks, we
hear so much of Lincolns tenderness, his
gent1eness, his kindness and his sadness,
that there is danger of our forgetting his
sturdiness, his iron strength, his indom1t-
able will, and are worshipping a man of
mush instead of a man of might; and Lloyd
Georges vision was clear when he declared:
II have often been struck at the growth of
both tenderness and stern determination
in the face of Lincoln, as shown in his pho
tographs, as the war went on"
Some time ago the British government
donated a site, facing the house of parlia-
ment, for statue of Lincoln, replica of
Gauden's masterpiece in Chicago, and the
gift of an American committee to the people
of England. It's erection has been delayed
by the war, and has provoked dignifed
protest from contributor to the vox popul;
column of the London Observer, with the
suggestion that popular subscription be
taken Immediately to defray the cost of
constructing the pedestal
"The statue" says the writer, facing
England's Abbey, to great man who knew
how to run war to a successful and right
eous finish, would be national inspiration
to still further patriotic endeavor at this
moment. Lincoln knew his mind. He knew
good from evil, and he won through to
victory"

land helped US to better appreciation of
