The policy of q community as re-
CARDS the prevention and cure Of pre-
ventable and durable DISEASES is one
that every responsible adult in that
community should look sauarely in the
teeth. 1t should not be the policy of
any physician, practicing or not prac-
ticing, to dictate any plan or policy
of public health, or even to urge or
plead for any such policy. His in
terests are not, primarily the same as
the interests of the professional
public in this regard. He is placed in
the peculiar position of hurting his
own business or that of his professional
brother just in proportion as he di-
minishes the amount Of sickness. The
position OF the professional medical
man should be an advisory one. pure
and simple.

officers, state. county and city. whose

whose servants they are.
For advice in technical matters they
go to the men who are especially pre-
pared to give technical advice. In mat
ters of law they seek a lawyer, very
often they retain a lawyer for what
ever services they may require of him.
The same is true with respect to engi-
neering and all the rest 1t should be
likewise true as regards the preserya-
ton of the community in a good state
of health. All public officials with ap-
pointive power and whose duty it is
to look after public interests should
govern themselves with sole regard to
the public interest and not appoint a
multiplicity of subservient officials to
have votes which they can deliver"
for the next election. All this is self
evident. The reason for such perjury

and betterment of the community

IN MEMORY OF OLLIE GUTH.

1t is with much regret that the
many friends and acquaintance of
Mr.. Ollie Guth learned of his death,
which occurred at the Pensacola Hos
pital, Tuesday, July l, 1919. having
been caused by heart trouble. Mr..
Guth was forty-five years of age, hav-
ing been born at Horsehead, New
York, April %, 1874, where he spent
the early years of his life. He served
in the L. s. Navy from 1903 to 1907.
when he came South to New Orleans,
where he was married to Miss Lottie
Mason, of that city. Mr.. and Mrs.
Guth came to Pensacola in 1909, and
since that time have made this city
their home.
Mr.. Guth has been a member of
The International Plumbers and Steel
Filters the greater portion of his

Construction Company and at the
Naval Air Station, where he was en-
ployed in the capacity of leading man
and Foreman Plumber, until a short
time before his death, when he was
promoted to the position Of Quarter
man.
He was a member of the Roman
Catholic Church, and died in that
faith; Rev. Father Fullerton of st.
AIichaers Church conducting the fu-
neral service at the home and at the
grave, interment taking place in st
Johns cemetery, July 2, 1919. He
is survived by his wife, formerly Miss
Lottie Mason, of New Orleans, and
three sisters: Mrs. j. Willer. of Buff
alo, n. V. Mrs. Chas. Luttenhour, or
Elmira. y. Y. and Mrs. ]. Sterger. of
Horsehead, y. Y. Having had the
misfortune to lose his mother at
very early age, he was reared by the
latter sister.
Mr.. Guth was a man very highly
esteemed, and numbered his friends
by his acquaintance. The sympathy
of the entire community goes out to
those left behind to mourn his loss.

THE PEOPLE RULE.

Republicans are having a high time in Wash
ington with their muck raking machine, and are
getting their mud ready for the arrival of Pres-
dent Wilson. But the republicans, like the Boil
shevsts, have failed to take account of one
thing, and that is that President Wilson was
placed in office by the people, and that ne is ac-
countable to the people and not to their misrep-
resentatives in congress assembled.
In spite of the men who are now doing their
best to discredit the president and his admins
tration, in spite of pickering and back-biting of
congress the great mass of the people are saw
ing wood and waiting for the president to pre-
sent the covenant for their signature. Woe be
to the politicians and partisans in congress who
stand in the way of equity and justice, and pre-
vent the peace that has been dearly bought.
Whatever is back of the politicians in Wash
ington, it is not the great of the people, for
the people whole want peace for the world.
They have given of their blood, of their gold, of
their time and toll, and now they are tired of
war. They are not only determined to have no
more war now, but they want no more war for
ever.
The world is ready for peace, it intends to have
peace, and the people of the United States will
not let a few politicians seeking bubble reputa-
tions stand in the way of peace for their chill
dren and their childrens children.
Here some things for the people to think
about. The making of treaties consists of two
acts; negotiation and ratification. The treaty
is contract to which the delegates of twenty
powers give assent. Changes by one must be
accepted by all. If the senate, in the exercise
of right of negotiation, shall change the cove
nants and provisos, authorities international
law declare that the whole peace-makng must
be gone over again, with Bolshevism encouraged.
while the entire world is eager for technical
and real peace.
Theodore s. Woolsey, who believes that the
senate has been unfairly treated because "the
nevertheless points out that "captious opposition
from the senate will be ressated by the people
at large"
Mr. Woolsey says that, should the senate
insist upon radical treaty changes, the associated
powers must sign and act without the United
States. He says 1--WE must then make sep
arate peace. We must enter the league if and
when we can agree to do We throw away in
fluence prestige, solidarity"
But do we? Not as long as Woodrow Wilson
take the covenant before the people of the
United States, whose instruments the senate are.
Not for a separate peace, did the United States
enter this war with the allies, but for perma-
nent peace for all nations of all the world.
No doubt, as the senate snars and sings its
mud, over in Berlin and Holland the Devil laughs,
but fortunately for the peace of the world the
people still rule and the senate of the United
States dare not sell out this country to the Hon
enzollerns.

No houses for rent and no homes

boarders. That is almost the condition
! in Quincy today. What is the use of
advertising this section of the coun-
try If we make no provisions for the
home seekers who might be attract
ed here.
Men who could afford to build houses
for rent or sale argue that they can
get much better returns from their
money by other investments. If they
consider the actual money received in
return for the outlay, perhaps they are
right. But they do not figure that
indirectly this money will bring in
big returns. As the city grows in
population it will grow in business.
The more people who come, the moro
meat and potatoes and flour will be
sold.
So many new industries are being
developed in Florida and people in 9TH
er parts of the country are learning
of the opportunities here, and of the
splendid all the year round climate.
that many of them are coming to
Florida to live.
Quincy and Gadsden county would
attract a number of desirable citizens
if there were homes to be rented or
bought.
Those who postpone building in the
hope of materially lower prices are
specializing in the future misfortune
of the nation. If the people who have
desirable building lots cannot build
now. why do they not place these
prices? Quincy must expand If her
best interests are to be subserved.

servatism leads to-Quincy Times.

In the ilonth from which the cost of
milk production will be figured. All
that Is asked of each cooperator is
that he keep the figures once a week
and send in the blank at the end of
the month. From his figures the cost
of milk production will be determined
at the Farm Bureau office. Averag-
es for the county will be sent each CO.
operator after the returns are in so
that he may see how his herd COM
pares with the average.
One more word might be added
concerning these figures. 1t is es.
sential to know how much grain, hay
and other feeds cow consumes each
month, so that yearly averages may
be made up. Recently the prices ne
gotiated by the n. E. Nj. P. A. with
the milk dealers were held up by a
commission appointed by the COVER
nor of Massachusetts. This commits
sion would not accept figures procur-
ed IN 1917 from survey of a larger
number of farms as to the amount of
feed a cow consumed in a year. 1t
was found in this survey of two years
ago that the average cow in Yer
mont ate 1910 pounds of grain in a
year, $40 pounds of silage, and $500
pounds of hay. In other words, this
commission believed that the AVERAGE
cow of today was eating less to pro
duce the same amount of milk than
she did two years ago! A large num-
Der of figures were produced by
Dairy Extension specialists and
County Agents throughout New En-
gland to substantiate the figures of
two years ago and for Vermont the
quantity figures for feed consumed
per cow per year checked very close
y with those of two years ago. Thus
we find that our cows are just as will
ing to eat S75 grain and S25 hay a
they were TO eat $50 grain and S13
hay two years ago. And these same
cows don't seem inclined to increase
their yield even though the price of
grain has increased a half and hav
has about doubled As farmers. we
need figures TO meet just such places
as this. If some farmers had not
kept figures, the commission cor11
have had things their own way. Anv-
one who wishes to cooperate in this
work should notify their communitv
committeeman, who is in charge of
this work or in case there is none in
their community, notify their dairy
committeeman.
