PENSACOLA CAFES CHARGING
81 A POUND FOR BOILED HAM?

Does a ham shrink 10 pounds when
boiled if it weighs 32 pounds when
bought?
Pensacola restaurant. men say 1t
does, and Escambia County Food Ad-
ministrator c. S. Boz acker is inclined
to doubt their word. The dispute
arose when a complaint came to the
food administrator, charging that
boiled ham was being sold in the local
restaurants for s1.00 per pound, Doubt
ing that this could be possible, Mr.
Bonacker investigated.
Charge sustained.
Upon disputing the sense of this
price with local restaurant proprietors,
Mr.. Bonacker was Informed that a 32-

TRUCKING BY MOTOR

In many places business men are turn
ing to motor trucks as q means Of reliev-
ing the freight congestion on railways.
Long distances are now traversed by
what are practically trains Of trucks rum
ming over the highways.
Among the cities Of Connecticut last
winter, many manufacturers transported
freight by motor trucks. They cut the
cost by arranging to get return loads for
their trucks in many cases. When truck
had delivered q load, it would find notifi-
cation at the Board Of Trade, that
number of people had freight to be car
ried back. BY going back loaded, the
cost Of the transportation was cut in two.
It used to be thought that to make
country life successful trolley lines would
have to be built all through the rural dis
tricts. But the cost Of constructing troll
ley lines has greatly increased. A great
many of the existing trollies do not pay.
Such lines will not be built as freely for
the next twenty years.
The motor truck is, however, good
substitute. The usual method for get
ting country produce to market, is for
each farmer to hitch up his horse or
horses and drive or send man to the
railway freight station. Small loads are
carried, often over bad roads. One good
motor truck would do the work of a
number Of teams, and only one mans
wages would have to be paid.
A motor truck system for district of
farm country could make certain trips
on certain days Of the week, and cover
its whole neighborhood with regularity.
It would reduce the demand for farm la
Dor, and cut the cost both Of getting food
to market and getting supplies to the
farmer.

HELP DAYLIGHT SAVING

In some places it is reported that the
people are not merely setting their clocks
ahead to comply with the Daylight Saw
inc idea. but are moving their customary
hours ahead also. Boarding houses that
used to serve breakfast at seven o'clock,
are now giving it at eight. In so TAR as
people do that, it will defeat the whole
plan.
The purpose of the idea is Of course to
get people up in the morning an hour
earlier, SO that they can quit work an
hour earlier, and have an extra hour IN
the evening. We must continue to work
and sleep by the clock. even though it IS
set ahead.
In week the benefits of the plan
should be apparent. The change should
be particularly popular. among all who
enjoy sport. Now in the long days they
can have nine inning ball game after
supper. All kinds of athletics ought to
flourish as never before.
The young fellows who used to hang
around the streets after dark, can now
have decent length Of time to get out
and practice all kinds Of games and exer-
cises. After this type Of fellows have
seen what it means, they will never be
willing to 60 back to the old hours Of
early darkness again.
1T should also be great boost to the
garden work. Men who formerly had no
spare time outside work hours, are now
given . long evening that will be amply
sufficient to take care Of q small plot.
And we will all see the difference when
we get our bills for electricity, gas, or
kerosene.
The whole thing depends upon unani-
nous cooperation. Stores, factories,
churches, and entertainments, must stick
by the clock on its new time. In very
short time people win forget about it, and
wonder they didn't do It many years ago.

ALL FOR THE WAR

There has been too much easy ptimism
IN uniting over this Warss.We have been
accustomed to say that the population
and wealth Of the United States and its
allies are about twice what Germany and
her allies have. Therefore we must win.
Wars are not won by the countries
that have the biggest population. Russia
has three times as many people as Ger
many. Yet Germany administered
terrible whipping to her giant neighbor,
and the Russians are cringing before her
like whipped ours. Neither can wealth
alone win the war.
Our people are not Russians. But we
must learn what has been the source Of
Germanys marvellous success. Ger
many's people are not supermen. They
are not smarter than any other people.
1t Is simply that the entire national force
Is put into this war. Whatever spirit or
dissent or revolt exists at home, it has so
far amounted to nothing. Every man,
woman, and child is working for the war.
It this had been the case in this coun-
try, we would today have built twice as
many ships as we have since last April,
and we would have put twice as many
men in France as we have. We have been
held up by many causes, chief among
which are labor troubles.
There have been some capitalists that
were more anxious to get money for
themselves than to win the war. There
haye been some working people more
anxious to get advantages for labor than
to win the war. In SO far as this spirit
exists, it ties up our production. Forum

BUSINESS CONFIDENCE

sWnen 3 man a0vefClSeS 1feely IN Cnc
newspapers, It shows that he has conf
dence in his goods. He believes in them
through and through. He is willing to
back that faith with the money spent in
advertising. He feels sure that If the
public only knows about his offerings,
they win want them.
The man who does not advertise lacks
that confidence. Sometimes this is be-
cause in his heart he does not feel that he
has anything any better than anyone
else. And sometimes he feels or claims
to feel, that the public would not read his
notice nor Be interested in It, even It his
proposition were good.
This last superstition y contrary to 81
human nature. You place lusciously
Drowned d6ighhut before 9 hungry boy.
Would he turn away Indifferent? Not
until boy nature is very different.
The public is as keen for chances TOR
good values as the hungry boy for the
douphnut. Bargain hunting is SECOND
nature. and even more so now than FORM
erly. The cost Of living has made 1t nee
essary FOL, everyone to study values. They
saw that the public is not interested IN
an announcement telling them where It
can save money, this denies one Of the
most fundamental characteristics Of hui
man nature. It also ignores the living con-
ditions existing at this period.
Any kind Of confidence attracts, y
wins in war, in politics, and IN business.
The man who has faith in his proposition
and will back it in an aggressive way, is
the winner in all fields. The man who
lacks that confidence may have many
good qualities, but he lacks the final quail
ification for success. The merchant who
advertises is the confident merchant who,
knows he has good thing, and p d51tG
the public will think SO too ON ex1qin-
alton.
