Leslie Partridge modestly admitted
some time ago that he came as a sun
burst in an equinoctial storm. That
was in New Orleans many years ago.
Leslie spent his childhood in Selma,
Alabama, and Natchez, Mississippi.
He was, he asserts, a home grown,
hand-spanked product.
Graduating from the Mississippi
College in 1894, he took the chair of
mathematics in the Marion Military
Institution for the first year. The
second year after his graduation he
spent in post graduate work at the
University of Chicago, following that
with two years in the chair of Eng
lish of the Marion Military Institu-
tion. AS headmaster Of Latin and the
High School of Natchez he spent two
years, and then for five years acted
as assistant superintend of the
schools of Biloxi, Mississippi
Then Mr.. Partridge became a busi-
ness man. He began an insurance
business in Natchez, and ten years
ago came to Pensacola. He is now
sole own and manager of the Partridge
Insurance Agency and wants it un-
derstood that he handles all kinds
all kinds, to be emphatic.
The Yacht Club, Kiwanis Club and
the Masons have the good fortune to
count him among their members, and
they all have had evidence that
he is ready to cooperate with every
endeavor for the upbuilding and i'm
provement of the city. He believes in
Pensacola and Pensacola's future.

THE kIWANIs TORCH.


The current issue of the Kiwanis Torch is fillet
with good things. none of which surpasses the fol
lowing editorial expression:
The dandelion seed with its wings to take it

spring plants might arise there in a new

What fools be sure.
Then my mind turned to this Kiwanis game
we are all playing, fellows, and I could see SO
plainly that are but instruments in His hands
to lift this old world just little bit higher,
make it just little bit sweeter and more worth
living in.
like to think of it like that like to feel that
the Almighty is back of such plans and
while believe it is better not talk too much
about it for most men shy at things with too
ehurchly sound and most men are inclined to
leave religion to their wives and children yet it
is good to feel that All Wise God has picked
us out to further some of His plans. promote
of His propaganda and sell some of His
ideas to the world.

flower seeds where they will grow best who is
guiding and directing every movement for hu-
man betterment, is surely behind this XII
wants movement the is to rise to-
morrow and the spring to come again next year.
Here a few comments contained in The Torch
relative to Pensacola. Tampa and New Orleans
which may serve as good suggestions:
Pensacola is advertising the two greatest
events of Florida as the presentation of their
Kiwanis charter and the other the state centen-
NAL of 1922. They are mentioned in the order
of their Importance. They invite every
Kiwanian earth and those in air planes
to each event Their circulars tell OF what
is going to happen but they interesting.
Tampa is despair! They send us enough
stuff every month fill an edition Of
The Torch. Their Alarm Clock is the Hvest

exception, they flood the editor with cigars

park island for play ground they have
had District Governor Arrant over there pre-
senting their charter, they collecting funds
for the Roosevelt Memorial, they are getting out
special editions of the daily papers, and if we
pinned into string the newspaper publicity
they get and send would have ten yards
of it! We will certainly have to go down there
and look 'em over to see how they do

GET THEM WITH THE GOODS

At the end of July the supply of
creamery butter showed an increase
OF 1923 per cent against the figures
given for the same time last year.
Yet the price was SO cents a pound,
against the former price of II cents.
1t may be the fault of boarding
profiteers, or wage-boosting prOfi-
teers, or profiteering middlemen.
The blame probably rests on more
than one of the above groups of sin
ners. We can hardly believe that one
group alone would dare to be the
sole cause of such extortion.
Whatever the cause, it seems that
the governments inquiry is we'll
timed. And it is we'll to call it an
inquiry, and not crusade. or re-
form, or any other romantic name.
It is an inquiry-a recognition of
our ignorance Of the facts, and de-
sire to enlighten our ignorance And
as the blame probably rests on more
than one mischievous agency it is
necessary to identify them all, and
determine the proportion of guilt
at the time of the investigation and
not beforehand Our natural ten
dency to make one the goat of all
should be resisted in these deliber-
atoms. Let us get the truth first
and do the vituperating afterwards.
