Rare Sugar Found in Honey.

Investigation of certain stores OF
crystallized honey found in various
places in Pennsylvania where the bees
had died from starvation led to the
discovery of n quantity of rare sugar,
known as melezitose, which has been
extracted and purified and placed at
the disposal of the bureau of chem
istry. The weekly news letter Of the
department of agriculture says that
melezitose is one of the rarest sugars.
Minute quantities of 1t have been avail
able to men of science for many years,
but the supply has never been sufii-
cient to permit of extensive experiment
tation. Now the United States de-
partment has several Kilograms.

the hauling of crops to market or ship
ping point. This is a very important
use, but it is a long way from cover
ing all the farm needs for a truck.
The truck salesman's hauling-to-mar-
ket argument is comparable to the
earlier days of the tractor when it was
sold around the blowing idea princi-
pally. Both the truck and tractor will
be bought by the farmer not as single
purpose machines, but for their appli-
cation to a variety of uses.
The farmers hauling requirements
may be divided int two general
classes: (1) Hauling on the road and
(2) hauling on the farm. On most
farms where trucks are used the haul
ing on the farm will constitute by far
the greatest number of uses for n
truck.-Power Farming.

The brotherhood will provide jobs for released prisoners and try tt eu.

and that is that it isn't a quotation. What The

The brightest, brainest WE know are not

| Editor The Pensacola Journal:
At a meeting of District Council OF
Carpenters and Joiners of America
the following communication was
concurred in as a possible means of
production, which would regulate
to some extent the high cost of living
and create a more harmonious feeling
with business and working classes, as
according to reports of the many
bankers the problem seems to be
credited to labor.
The Council request that you pub
lish the following:
A real solution to overcome a crisis
in which we are drifting with eyes
open and ears closed and a country
of unrest composed of rich and poor
One, pointing his finger at the other
while matters are being badly mixed,
and are the makings of no good end.
We know that the laboring class of
people cannot overcome the condition
of affairs existing today without the
help of thos who do not labor or
produce something for their own good
but continue to live and prosper from
the production of others, meaning
both rich and poor.
To those who are poor and idle
go to work at the earliest possible
moment and earn an honest livelihood
for yourself and family, and do not
deprive others of what they have hon
estly worked for.
To the business man who is en-
joying the profits gained by the toll
and sweat of the Iaboring people
produce something according to your
means, that viii credit you with an
honest effort, that to live and let live.
as your slogan, and encourage others
to do likewise
Do not encourag e non-producing
business men to depend upon the pro-
duction of others, as there are today
too many such people for the good and
welfare of the public in general.
The production of farm products
cattle, sheep, hogs, and even a canning
factory, would produce something that
requires labor, would be a credit to a
business man, and would put disgrace
to the sap sucker; do not begin with
profits as your base of production, as
YOU may be gaining more than few
dollars could bring to your happiness.
There must be an over production to
combat the situation of affairs today.
Men are shipping their stock of cattle.
sheep, etc, from other states to Florida
Could not our own non-producers
procure such stock and encoura se
such productions as there is plenty of
room for those who are able to finance
such production, and would be of
much assistance to overcome the high
cost of living and to relieve the unrest.
