Joined with him in the celebration

minded all of days that had long since
gone.
The day was much enjoyed by all
present and every one wished "Uucle
Johnnie" many more years of life
and happiness.

Early Mnrnlnn Exercise.

"Don't roll out Of bed like sailor"
says a newspaper doctor. Stretch the
muscles and the legs and abdomen i'm
mediately after awakening. Putting
on ones stockings in bed is good
way to accomplish this result and re-
duce flesh" Obviously, to follow
these instructions, one should take the
stockings to bed the night before. Most
of the exercise, then, naturally will
consist in finding the stockings among
the bed clothes the next morning

CLARK CEMETERY

Hot as it was last Sunday even.
ing the writer took a stroll over
the Clark Cemetery. A place o.
this kind is a fine place to go oc.
casionally. As you read the names
Of those who rest beneath the
slabs and associate their lives with
past events. you find splendid op.
portunlty for meditation and for
thought.
Although the thermometer was
registering 80 in the shade we re-
NAMED in that sacred spot long
enough for our minds to reflect
back to the lives and associated
events Of many who rest there,
who helped to make Huntingdon,
the beautiful town in which we
live.
In that quiet spot sleep those
who led in the business, profess
sional, social and educational walks
Of life, and in their day gave char
acter and prestige to the town. 1t
was gratifying, as we reflected over
their lives. to be able to feel that
many of these were our friends.
We cherish their memory and
prize their friendship.
But we were humiliaten and
made sad to think that our town
people would forget the memory
Of these splendid people as is so
clearly indicated BY the manner in
which the cemetery is kept. The
mounds, and even many Of the
slabs. that mark the place of those
who rest there, are practically hid
from view By grass, weeds and
other wild growth, making the
spot look more like waste place
than the home of deceased loved
ones.
We do not know whose special
business it is, if it is any ones, to
care for this place, but we do know
that the town, in some way, should

WHEAT YIELD

The crop of wheat in Tennessee is
not banning out quite as well as was
anticipated few weeks ago. It will
not only be smaller but Of lower
grade than the promise held forth by
the green fields of February and
March. The crop is being threshed
and it is found that the cold winds
and too much rain have cut short the
yield. Between 100000 and 60O,-
900 were planted to wheat in the
fall Of 1918 and the best estimate is
that the crop will be 100000 bush
els.

FIreless cooker rhat Are sac.

Recently the national board Of fire
underwriters issued a caution against
using wooden pals or tubs to make
homemade fireless cookers. To elm
mate the danger Of fires from these
valuable fuel savers, the department
of agriculture advocates using ground.
up asbestos in place of hay, paper or
wool for packing in them. Additional
safety may be attained by making the
cooker from a tin can.

Possible cranary.

The harvesting of the corn crops in
Venezuela commences in September
or October. In most sections Of the
country only one crop is raised an
nually, though with irrigation there
could easily be two. Most of the corn
raised in Venezuela is white, and the
market for this is not so good in the
West Indies as for the yellow varieties.
In case of any deficit in the corn crop
in the United States, Venezuela might
well be considered as an available
source Of supply.

It is bad manners and bad business
etiquette for two employees Of the
same Office to discuss the personal of.
fairs Of fellow workers or Of their emi
ployer. Almost every worker is in pos
session of some private information as

be regarded as a trust not to be be-

CIRCUS BRINGS
THRILL TO THE
YOUNGER LADS
This is the day of the circus.

This is the day of the circus!
Sometime during the night a train
pulled in, bearing elephants, tigers,
lions, clowns, ponies and other joys
and wonders that go to make up the
thrills of a circus day. And this morn
ing the cars are being unloaded, can
vassmen are erecting city of white,
and by 10 o'clock will be set for
parade.
When the crowds arrive at the
grounds this afternoon the various
tents will be running full blast and
Pensacola youngsters will feast their
eyes and ears on the mysteries OF
the big top"
The attraction today is Sparks
three-ring circus and the parade is
announced for 10:30 o'clock this
morning. Two performances are to
be given, one at o'clock and one
tonight Inasmuch as it has been some
time since a circus exhibited in Pen
sacola, it is expected that there will
be a full attendance at both per-
formances.
But some of the joys of the circus
will not be present. For one thing
the elephants will be watered with
city water, drawn from a prosaic my
drant and with little exertion. A few
years ago certain small boys of this
city, who are probably too blase now
even to be interested in the flaming
posters, carried something like two
million gallons of water in tin
buckets to bunch of elephants with
limit1ess capacity, and which evidently
had not tasted water in a month.
Pensacola boys don't do that any
more. Most of them touch daddy for
the admission price, thereby keeping
up with goth century improvements.
but at the same time missing a great
experience.

not do about the League Of Ma

what he said in 1910 in accepting

master stroke if those great powers,
honestly bent on peace, would form
league of peace, not only to
keep the peace among themselves,
but to prevent, by forcing if neces-

Ohio, which permitted the Demp-
sey-Willard prize fight, very virtu-
ously has forbidden moving pictures
of the battle to be shown in the
state. Just a little item, yet big
in its insight into the ways of the
world. Too often the big offense is
condoned, while the lesser evils, that
spring from it, are looked down up
on with holy frown. There was a
time, we remember, when it was
permissible to sell beer in Kansas,
but it was an offense if a Kansan
got drunk. 1t took a long time to
see it the right way, but right
came to the top in the end. 1t
is not permissible for a news
paper to print news stories of lot
teries and circulate through the
mails. Yet the United States gov
eminent itself is guilty Of lotteries.
It would seem to most people, how
ever, that if the lottery business is
crime, the crime would consist
in having the lottery and not in
printing the fact it was held.
Imagine allowing murderers to go
free but forbidding newspapers to
print the fact they have committed
a murder! Many little evils exist
because we permit the big ones, yet
we hold up our hands in horror
and wonder why it is so. We
