Another Triumph for Woman Farmer

Once again the adaptability ant
skill Of women have COMPOUNDED the
critics-those incredulous critics, the
farmers. They admit that in the re
cent efficiency tests at Maidstone
England, a very high standard has
been reached. In the milking cOmpe
tition more than One-fOurth gained
over 90 marks. Two. women thatch
ers, who had only been at the work
for five weeks, secured the highest
possible rating. The competitions
were arranged by the Kent woman's
agricultural committee. Mrs. f. Her
on-Maxwell, chairman Of the organic
ing committee, said there were 1900
women registered as land women ir
Kent, also 30O, 400 members of the
'woman's land army."-Woman's Cen

ALL BROTHER HAD NOTICED
Father Need Not Have Worried Over
Possible Bad Effect of Movies
on Little Son.

After all, it's hard to figure out cor
rectly the effect of the movies on the
child mind. 1t happened that mother
and sister had gone to concert and II
was up to father to entertain little
brother, age seven. Father likes the
movies-some Of them-sO he Thought
that would lserve the purpose. vi
course you can not tell much about Il
film by the name or by the pictures
out In front either for that matter.
But father likes pictures of western
life and he thought the horses ana
mountains might please brother. so
when he saw the poster of cowboy,
in they went.
1t wasn't avery good sort of picture
as to theme, for 1t presented a ruth
less outlaw and his gang of robbers.
When wagon train of gold seekers
came across the desert he not only re-
fused to give them water, but drove
them off to perish of thirst on the
desert. And there also was a dance
hall scene in the West. Father had
some misgivings as to his choice of
movie and wondered whether, at its
close, his son would elect to be the
bold bad bandit or the vice-enmeshed
owner of the dance hall and gambling
hell. He said nothing but anxiously
awaited the verdict
When "The End" came, brother
whispered:
Daddy, do you know who the cow
boy looks like?"
mo, brother. WhO?">
Our milkman," was the reply.

AERO CONTEST
SPLENDID TROPHIES ARE OFFERED
FOR EFFICIENCY WINNERS IN
SERVICE FLYING CONTESTS.

In an effort to stimulate the inter-
est in aviation which has been arous-
ed by sudden development Of the
air service, the Aero Club Of Ameri-
ca recently announced that it would
present $1,000 in trophies and Liberty
Bonds to service aviators, stations ana
squadrons in competition, the lrules
of which have been left to the author
tiles of the navy, marine corps and
army.
Four trophies, each representing a
total value OF $1,000, will be the first
prizes, and Si0O Liberty Bonds will be
given the pilots Of the machines which
win the trophies.
The country will be divided into
sect ms, the Atlantic and Pacific div
isions, and two trophies will be
awarded in each one for the army and
two for the navy and marine corps
Under the present arrangement it
is suggested that owing to the inabil-
ity of the different units to get to-
gether' and hold competition. the rec
ord or log of the sauadrons will be
taken as the means adjudging merits
Each squadron keeps very complete
record Of the number OF flights, pilots
and conditions Of flight, and this Is
a good way in which the
OF each squadron could be
tabulated For instance, some squad
rons may specialize on cross country

DRUGGISTS TO
TRY 4 TEST OF
THE EBlUELAWS
Local Drug Stores Will Not
Open to Sell Anything
This Sunday.
WILL FILL NO
PRESCRIPTIONS
Stores Claim That Injustice Is
Being Done Them by
Law Enforcement.

Pensacola druggists will test the
blue laws, which County Solicitor II.
j. Mackey has ordered strictly en-
forced to the letter beginning today.
Practically every druggist in the city
has agreed not only to comply with
the solicitors orders, but to go a step
farther, and not take advantage OF the
slight leeway allowed by Mr.. Mackey
to sell prescriptions. but to close
down completely the entire day. The
blinds in the windows were orawn
when the stores closed Saturday
night. and the druggists declare that
a key will not turn to open the door
to their stores until Monday morn
ing. No prescriptions, consequently.
can be obtained during the Sabbath.
This action was taken by ths
druggists after the publication OF a
statement of Mr.. Mackey declaring.
that the so-called blue laws would
be strictly enforced beginning today.
The one modification of the law, al
lowed by Mr.. Mackey, was permitting
the drug stores to remain open to
sell prescriptions. None of the other
articles in the stores, under Mr..
-Mackey's ruling, can be sold. inciuu-
ing soft drinks, cigars, etc.
The druggists of the city claim that
the mere sale of prescriptions on Sun
day will not cover the cost OF their
lights. regardless of their other ex-
penses. and after consultation with
their attorney, they decided to take
drastic action, follow the law to It's
finest point. and try to convince the
people of the city that the stand
taken by Mr.. Mackey, in this instance.
is not for the best interests OF the city
as a whole.
Mr.. Mackey, when Informed by The
Journal last night of the stand that
the druggists had taken, said that 1t
was immaterial to him as long as the
druggists complied with the law, but
promised prosecution, should they rail
to be guided by the rulings.

TO SECURE RELEASES.

Enlisted men are to be discharged
upon their own application. when they
are needed at home for enga cement

the regiment, to which he is attached.
Department commanders within this
country are authorized to let the rr1en
go upon their own application. How
ever the new order is not intended to
cause the release Of men in groups,
but individuals only.
Men who enlisted prior to April 1,
1917 will be released in this way, Mr..
McNeir is informed. Application for
discharge, under the provision of this
circular, will be made in each indi-

The county commissfoners have no

This is the opinion which was hand

matter was sought by the county off,
GERS some days ago. The ruling of the
attorney means, that before the COM

Washington, Dec. 21.-Alfred l..

New York, when oss-examined to-
day by Senator Reed, of Missouri, in
the senate committees German prop
aganda inquiry, declared that Reed
represented William Randolph Hearst,
about whom most of the testimony re-
volved. Reed Indignantly denied that
he represented any body or anything

of the committee. led sharp slash
at today's session of the senate com
mittee investigating German propa-
ganda with Alfred L. Becker, deputy
attorney general Of New York, and
Major E. Lowry Humes, in charge of
the inquiry.
Mr.. Becker refused to answer ques-
tions by Senator Reed as to the iden-
tity of persons employed by the attor-
ney general of New York to get in
formation concerning the German
propaganda system. Senator Reed de-
manded that the committee instruct
the witness to answer.
Becker asked the senator if he de-
sired to have Information on mat
ters relating to his client, Mr.. Hearsu,J
whereupon Senator Reed told the COM
nittee that Becker's reply had been
framed in an insolent manner.ana ue-
MED that he was appearing for Mr..
Hearst.
Il am here in the interest OF trying
to develop some truth through u
maze of testimony that has been dis
torted," Senator Reed said.
Mr.. Becker based his refusal to re-
ply on the ground that it was secret
service work and secrecy was essen
tial to its success. He said he had
known that the Hearst forces" mad
been trying for six months to find out
the names of the men making the
investigation and they Maven
found out yet, which shows we have
a pretty good secret service"
