THE ECLIPSE OF BRYAN

A sentence in one of the numerous
stories of the convention, coming
over the wires, indicates that at least
some of the old time leaders are los
ing their hold on party politics.
1t was said that for the first time
in twenty-four years a national dem
ocratic convention was proceeding
without the guiding hand of w. j
Bryan That was after his utter de-
feat in attempting to secure a plank
indorsing the eighteenth amendment
and the volstead law.
Apparently, Mr.. Bryan, after that
vote was taken, disappeared as a
factor in the convention. What he
did in order to defeat or select a can
didate does not appear, and his dis,
appearance gave rise to the reflection
that this was the first time in almost
a quarter of century that there was
a moment of time in a democratic
convention that Mr.. Bryan was not in
full control.
That he has been powerful, as
we'll as disturbing figure all these
years, goes without saying, when the
record of the years is scanned. Three
times he led his party to disastrous

ENJOYING HOT WEATHER

When people cant stand hot
weather. 1t is generally because they
dress too warmly, or eat too heavily
or stay indoors too much, Often II
is all three together.
Summer is, according to the general
view, the finest season of the year
The rest of the year is spent largely
in looking forward to it. And then
when it comes, stupid and perverse
human nature spoils the priceless gift
by failing to put itself in condition to
take full advantage of it.
The hot.weather dodger has first to
learn that the summer is friendly
lust as the timid swimmer has Ia
learn that the water is friendly. But
temperature, like water, imposes Its
own conditions.
It is strange that persons who dress
properly for winter, by putting or
warm clothing, often fail to adapt
themselves to summer by the opposite
process. The least clothing that de
cency permits is the best rule. And
fortunately light, cool clothing costs
less than heavy clothing.
It is of little use, though, to dress
lightly If one eats as heavily in sum
mer as in winter, or chooses the
same kinds of food Either the food
should be less in quantity or less rich
in quality. The body needs fuel just
the same to provide energy for WORK
and play, bubt needs less to keep the
body warm. Ordinary common sense

NAMES HURLED
HICHLANDERS
TO VICTORY
(By GOsh--For Smileyl

The Highlanders, piloted by Boss
Jimmie Names in the dual capacity of
manager and pitcher, defeated the
Bradentown outfit yesterday after
noon by the score Of three to nothing
Boss Jimmie, besides being mighty
sweet first sacker, sort of showed up
some Of his pitchers when he held the
hard hitting Growers to a measly
three bingles in nine full frames and
one of these came in the ninth after
two men were out. Just to show real
ly how good a game Jimmie pitched,
you are cited to the fact that only
20 men faced him, none were given
bases on balls and only two Growers
got as far as the keystone station and
four whitfield the air. Palmer, who is
leading the league in the number Of
bases stolen, gathered in three more
yesterday to sort Of cinch the honors
for the first half Of the season, any
way. Palmer stole second and third
in one inning just to demonstrate how
fast he is and II Hardy had not had
his chest protector buckled on Chick
might have made it a perfect day by
swiping that. Mclean, making his in
itial appearance before the home folks
as an outfielder, looks like a real
find. He is fast, covers a lot OF
ground and possesses an accurate
throwing arm, has a good stance at
the bat and takes healthy wallop at
the old apple. His timely wallop in
the sixth scored Boss Jimmie. By the
way, have you fans noticed how many
runs Jimmie has been hitting in Of
late and how many times he has been
left on the bricks? 1t seems that ev
cry time Jimmie gets on, the rest Of
the batting order are unable to con
meet with the pill and Jimmie dies.

LET'S MAKE THIS
A CITY OF FLOWERS

The Pensacola Journal has the fol-
lowing to say which could so admir-
ably be followed in Lakeland that we
reprint it. The Journal says:
Let's make Pensacola, one of the
finest cities on the southern coast, a
CITY of flowers, make it known as one
CT the loveliest cities visited by Uncle
Sans ships.
This can easily be done if every
Pensacolian will plant in his yard,
vacant lot or in every bare, ugly spot
some bright and easily grown flower
The hydrangea, whose great masses
of blooms In the pastel shades, orna-
n ent many lawns, can be easily
grown, and once started, takes care
OF itself. Plant the broken branches
in the bare, unsightly spots arourd
your home and within few moths
time find your small efforts rewarded
by mass of floral beauty. Some pre-
fer to plant cuts in Jancary, the time
when roses are set, but experience
has proved that the hydrangea Is
easily rooted at almost any time OF
the year. Cuttings planted now or
i? August, if in loosened, somewhat
sandy soil and kept watered for sew
eral days, will readily take root. The
hydrangea has the advantage OF liv-
ing from year to year and increasing
in beauty while the growth is not
dense enough to be undesirable. Then
there are the smaller flowers, gay
zenias, petunias and nasturtiums
which add beauty to the grounds with
little labor expended.
Just a few minutes time and a
little thought by the women, children
and men of Pensacola and our city
next spring can be veritable flower
garden, the desolate looking and ur-
slightly spots transformed by bloom
ing flowers.
Let us try it and see, each one
right now. Exchange cuttings and
seeds with your neignoors and If you
know of flowers that can be easily
planted and grown or any good way

or send it to the newspaper.
