From the very beginning. Pensacola
has been a place of extraordinary his
torica1 interest
The first reported Caucasion to be
fortunate enough to find Pensacola
bay was one Spaniard, DeNarvaeZ, an
emissary of the Cuban government He
landed on Santa Rosa island in 1928.
And then space of II years elapsed
before another adventurer, the famous
Ferdinand de Soto, found shelter in
the harbor.
He was followed by DeLuna, who
founded real settlement near the
present Fort Barrancas. DeLuna's fol-
lowing at length tired Of the hard
ships and privations of pioneer life,
and left for Mexico. The town was
revived, however. when DeArriola
built Fort San Carlos. The French
fleet at length destroyed the Spanish
settlement and rebuilt on Santa Rosa
island a little to the east of Fort
Pickens. When the settlement was
partially destroyed by an inundation.
a settlement was made where Pensa-
cola now thrives The treaty of
province, and in 1865 the British
planned the city of Pensacola after
the regular system of squares which
it still largely retains. The English
gave possession to the Spanish in 1871
and the Spanish retained it until 1914,
when Andrew jackson forced the
change of flags which took place on
the site of the present plaza.
The long Spanish and French names
SO interesting to the stranger from the
always English communities may thus
be accounted for. Almost every one
is connected with an interesting story.

jazz dancing" declared Jimmy.
"as interpreted by some young
er bloods OF the village is consider
ably misleading. 1t has become a
new mode of intoxication. And it is
confined to both branches of the
species-male and female. Wherever
you find the terpiscorean are being
INDUCED in you invariably find
music, and both are a combination
thatare not in the least harmful, if
they are interpreted right" But at
this juncture, according to Jimmy,
is where the misinterpretation
comes in.

not exactly numerous dance en-
poriums," continued Jimmy, where
most OF the blase youths predomIn-
ate, will convince a person that
there is such a thing as "jazz IN

must be remedied."
Whether or not the emotional i'm

GARDEN INSECT
w. c. Wilson, Garden Director in

BOrer at Work Here.


Discovery of new pest to flow

pean corn borer-has been made
in Moline, according to a letter
written by w. c. Wilson, garden
supervisor, to W. P. Flint, entomol-
ogist at the state university at Ur-
bana.
Report of an insect which had
destroyed nearly all of his sweet
corn was made last summer by
Don A. Bailey of Moline. Yesterday
Mr.. Wilson personally discovered a
worm, answering the description of
the borer in all but color, at work
among potted salvias on the Will

is appended:

European corp borer featured in

line, a close and intelligent OBJ
server, told ME last summer OF
pest working in his sweet corn that
answers to the description Of this
borer, ard on showing the Bulle-
tin to Mr.. Bailey he positively
identified it as the pest in his corn.
Yesterday, at William Butter
worth's estate, l discovered a borer
working in a bed of potted SALIVA
that had killed probably 10 per
cent of the plants which were in a
hot bed; | found one of these Dor
ers. which appeared to be one

body, white head; the head very

State Income Tax

Income tax payable this fall, can
not be reduced by taxes paid to the
State, as provided in section 81 of
the original law. This is the opin
ion relative to the effect of the re,
peal of Section 80 of the income tax
on income taxes collectable this
year, handed down by Frank W
McAllister. attorney general of Mis-
souri,.
Under section so of the original
law the collector has been permit
ted to deduct the State taxes from
the income tax, but under the re
peal of this act by the last Legisla.

made.

flicts.

cles of Confederation under which
we began our national existence. If
so, the way is open for its amend
ment or its replacement by some
thing better, even as our Articles of

Pres. Wilson's Message.

My Fellow Countrymen: The
treaty of peace has been signed. If
it is ratified and acted upon in full
and sincere execution of its terms it
will furnish the charter for a new
order of affairs in the world. 1t is
a severe treaty in duties and penal.
ties it imposes upon Germany; but
it is severe only because great
wrongs done by Germany are to be
righted and repaired; it imposes
nothing that Germany cannot do;
and she can regain her rightful
standing in the world by the prompt
and honorable fulfillment of its
terms.
And it is much more than a
treaty of peace with Germany. 1t
liberates great peoples who have
never before been. able to find the
way TO liberty. 1t ends, once for
all. an old and intolerable order
under which small groups of selfish
men could use the peoples of great
empires to serve their al. bition for
power and dominion. 1t associates
the free Government of the world
in a permanent League in which
they are pledged to use their united
power to maintain peace by main.
tanning right and justice,
1t makes International law real
ity supported by imperative sane
tons. 1t does away with the right
of conquest and rejects the policy
of annexation and substitutes a
new order under which backward

ness and peoples who are ready for
independence but not yet quite pre-
pared to dispense with protection
and guidance-shall be no more
subjected to the domination and
exploitation of a stronger nation
but shall be put under the friendly
direction and afforded the helpful
assistance of governments which
undertake to be responsible to the
opinion of mankind in the execu-
ton of their task by accepting the
direction of the League of Nations.
1t recognizes the inalienable

ton in beneficeRt service of every
kind. 1t furnishes guarantees such
as were never given or even con-

The Peace Treaty
BY STEPHEN BALL

While it is clear that neither
treaty nor covenant are perfect, 1t
should be equally clear that both
are as good as the nations can now
be brought to agree to. They
form fairly good beginning for
the eventual Federation of .he
World and the Parliament of Man.
Refusal to ratify it will result in
disaster to that beginning
Many things remain to be done
the settlement of boundaries on the
land as we'll as on paper, the en-
forceDent of the terms of the
treaty by occupation of parts of
Germany for from five to fifteen
years, the setting of the machinery
of the indemnity to work, etc.-be-
fore real peace can come.
To eloat over Germany's humilia-
tion is most natural. Far be it
from us to preach a honily on its
wrongfulness. AT its worst it will
not approach the gloating Germany
would have done had she been VIC
torious. Suffice it to say that an
undue indulgence in this sport can
but delay the coming of real peace
to this war cursed earth.
China's refusal to sign is omin-
Gus.
Japan's attitude toward China is
not commendable. Neither is the
attitude of the rest of the world
toward the Japanese.

ence to the effect of the repeal of
Section S2 of the income tax law
on income taxes collectable this
year, | beg to say that | am clearly
of the opinion that the income taxes
payable this fall cannot be reduced
by taxes paid to the States, as pro-
vided in Section 80 of the original
law.
The. Supreme Court has recently
held that the word Assessor in
Section 80 should read collector
and that to insure the benefits of
the credit, the receipt for the State
taxes, should be presented TO the
collector. This being true, the pro-
visions are not operative until after
the first of October, at which time
State taxes become payable. At
that time, the provisions having
been repealed, the income taxpayer
will not be entitled to credit on his
income taxes by taxes paid to the
State.

that it often would press up around

was doing great things for people who

it a trial myself. Well, sir, I have &C

and I have only taken three bottles so
far. My appetite is simply fine, and L
eat meats, pastry or anything l want
and the condition of my stomach has
improved so wonderfully that l never
suffer a particle from gas or indiges-
ton after my meals. My nerves are
as steady as a clock now, and | sleep
