MAYORS OFFICE

MAJ OAs ~ ~ = 49,
Wadsworth, O., July 81, 1919
Hon. Martin l.. Davey,
House, U. S. Congress,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir:
We are herewith enclosing an order
from the War Department General
Supply Depot, Chicago, Zone Seven;
this is addressed to all municipalities.
1st. We wish to enter most en-
phatic protest, to the order herein is
sued, as it applies to car lot ship
ments only; this means that all ship
ments of this surplus stock will go to
the cities, who are car lot buyers, and
that villages, who are less than car lot
buyers, but, American citizens just the
same, will not, on account of this or
der, have access to these surplus
stocks. This is wrong; it should be
corrected, to apply to all citizens,
whether they live in cities, or villages
or the country.
End. Villages receive supplies OF
meat, in less than car lots, and that
fresh meat at that, by stop-overs; the
War Department should be made by
an order of Congress to play fair in
the matter of placing these surplus
stocks; we look to you, to see that this
is brought about at an early date.
3rd. Article No. on the letter OF
the 10th of Mayor o. V. Wilcomb, re-
quests an answer; we have ans
wered; giving an emphatic protest on
this car lot, order of his; we have ask
ed for a test shipment in less than
car lots, of both meat and vegetables,
as you know canned vegetables will
ship in less than car lots and in fact
all canned goods that are properly
canned will ship in less than car lots
without icing; we desire that you en-
ter protest at the War Dept. so that
less than car lots of canned meat and
vegetables can be made to villages
and country buyers.
Yours very truly,
F. w. BOYER, Mayor,
Village Of Wadsworth, O..
August 2, 1919.
Hon. F. w. Boyer,
Mayor of Wadsworth,
Wadsworth, Ohio.
My dear Mayor:
It gives me pleasure to acknowledge
your kind favor Of July 31st with ref
erence to the order from the War De-
partment regarding the sale Of sur
plus food stocks. 1t seems to me that
your criticism is justified, at least, in
part. Apparently, the order does dis
criminate against the smaller munich
palities.
However, I wish to say that, in my
judgment, this does not require any
further act of Congress, but it can be
handled by order of the War Depart
ment, providing it is found practicable
to make shipments in less than car
load lots.

FOR OUR RED CROSS

you rich too poor to join the Red Cross !?
Are you rich that you not need it's ministra-
tions: rich, that you do not come in touch with

service; rich that you do not hear the voices
that speak the of the Red Cross in reverence

spirit that you cannot spare enough, cannot deny
yourself enough. cannot without enough of bodi-
bershp in the Red Cross?
Thank God, there few, in the United States,
poor that. There few, whose perjury

greatest organization in all the world
And for those who cannot spare the dollar and

good word that may be said the good wish that
may be given, the prayer that may offered for
the success OF the Red Cross Roll Call.
God pity the who poor say a
word to offer prayer to give dollar for the
Red Cross. And for the who is too rich to
understand the needs, to realize the hope that the
work Of the Red Cross has put into the heart of
world his perjury is greater.
The Red Cross needs only the dollar that is
blessed with good will. And there thousands
OF those dollars in Pensacola today, that will roll
up mighty total for the Red Cross Roll Call

THE JOURNAL AWAITS DECISION

Before the commission has met, before any an
nouncement Of it's findings has been made; before
any definite conclusion has been reached by the
commission the Jacksonville Metropolis makes the
following announcement:
The designation OF Jacksonville as the site
for the staging of big centennial to cele-
brate the purchase of Florida from Spain will
open the way for unprecedented activity in the
development of realty in this city. The period
preceding the actual staging of the big cele-
bration will witness a influx of people.

Vile. The celebration itself will also bring
thousands of people here great many of
whom will become permanent residents. This
will necessitate the building of new hotels
apartments and homes. Apartment houses and
hotels will be in special demand and it is the
wise who will get in the ground floor
and lay plans Immediately for the construction
of apartment houses
Jacksonville is going to leap forward many
years with the staging of the centennial and
there is real opportunity for the investor.
It would seem to The Journal, if Jacksonville has
received any assurance from the commission that
the centennial celebration take place in that
city that such announcement is made to the
public should come from the commission and moi
from the Metropolis
But The Journal does not believe that The Me-
tropolis any assurance. does it believe
that any such unfounded claims will aid Jackson

GREAT CATTLE SHOW

Less than month distant, the Florida State
Fair and Exposition, for the 1919 season, is rap
idly getting into shape, according to The Times
Union, and is giving promise of not only being the
greatest fair produced in. Florida, but of
the largest and best assembled in the south.
More than fifteen hundred head of livestock will
be exhibited the fair forming the largest cattle
chow held in the south. Premiums in the
live stock department alone total $4,000 while
the total cash prize list for this years fair is
$50 600, exclusive of special prizes in the Poultry
Show, which will be another big fair feature.
Work has been going at the fair grounds for
more than three months in active preparation for
the fair. and the principal exhibit buildings have
been increased in capacity. The cattle barns and
the swine barns have been added to give accom-
modations for fifty per cent increase in the num-
Der of exhibits showing at the fair last year, and
it has been found necessary to make provision for
handling cattle than this increase can
care for.

COTTON AND THE SOUTH

Senator Hoke Smith, OF Georgia. is quoted as
having said in a recent speech in New Orleans
.The Southeastern states would be today in a
vastly more prosperous condition If they had never
raised bale of cotton Their farm lands are
splendidly suited for raising food crops. In no
section can cattle and hogs raised at less cost.
the year. Corn can be produced in limitless guam
titles. Peanuts and velvet beans fatten hogs and
cattle nominal cost.
.The farmers of middle west grew rich by
producing foodstuffs. Their lands reached value
of $3.50 per acre, while lands In the southeastern
states due to cotton, were worth less than $4,000
per acre"
Commenting this the Industrial Index says:
It is to be doubted if Senator Smith said just
this. He has stood staunchly at Washington
for the rights and welfare OF the cotton farm
err and undoubtedly he appreciates the great
value of the crop to the south.
The soil and climate of the south fitted
peculiarly for the production of cotton. In no
other part of the world the conditions so
favorable growing of cotton of equal
quality. To say that this great natural ad-
vantage should have been permitted to go I'M
used is hardly reasonable.
The trouble has not been with the CROP but
rather with the system under which it has been
grown. All that the senator says regarding
the growing of other crops and the raising of
livestock shows his keen, comprehensive in
sight into conditions. The diversifcation Of
crops-so long urged-has been made neces-
sity at last and the results will be beneficial
But, the millions of dollars received annual
ly for the south's cotton crop and by-products
must be counted important factor in the
prosperity and progress of this part of the
country.

Last night to see vaudeville show;
He said he knew it would be punk.
And yet he trought we ought to go,
And there he sat, and every act
He panned, and every song be-
moaned;
He was impartial, that's a fact
He didn't leave a turn unstoned.
My tastes are simple, and I could
Have quite enjoyed myself, and had
"A lovely time-I thought twas good
Until he showed me it was bad.
or course he spoiled it all for me.
And for some others sitting near;
There hadn't been, asserted he,
A decent show here for year.
L will not go with him again.
For it's a waste of time and pelf;
He's one Of those peculiar men
Who can't bear to enjoy himself.
If all the shows that came were fine,
I do not think he'd go to one
He couldn't knock, he couldn't whine,
And that's the way he gets his fun.

Florida Press Opinion
Compensation of County Agents

compensation OF County Agents
Most OF the progressive counties of Florida seem
to appreciate the work of their county agents.
Moreover the appreciation appears to be growing.
Witness some of the amounts they pay agents:
Lee. $4,000; Palk. $500; Marion, $4,000 Alachcua,
$4,000; Orange. $4,000; Palm Beach. $4,000; Dade,
$2,7oo Even little Bay county situated far in the
west end of the state with only 1909 actual
cultivation in 1918, compared with 6740
the same condition that in Duval county, pays
its county agent $4,000. But that the people of
county are wide awake and progressive is shown
by the increase between 1915 and 1918 of more
than 1913 per cent in the acreage under actual Gull
tvation in that county compared with the less than
80 per cent increase in Duval county in that time.
Bay county does contain gateway of

to counsel its farmers and aid them to improve
their agriculture-enough for to do, if done

counties named. Yet they appreciate their county
agents and pay them generously. Their agents do
not have to answer questions about the suitability

of them do not need to concern themselves the
