DR.. JAMES /. VANCE.

Here are two ancient trails by
which men have tried to find Their
way back to the lost Eden.
They have sought to be happy
through poverty. They have stripped
off their jewels and given away their
lands and made a bonfire of their pos
sessions. They have taken the vow
of poverty as a sacrament of religion
and shut themselves away from ease
and plenty. There in the bare cell
they have waited for the angel of hap
piness to show his face, and they have
waited in vain. They have discovered
that poverty does not keep the. keys
to Paradise.
Then men have sought to be happy
through wealth. They have said their
prayers to Mammon. They have laid
honor and friendship and even love
itself on the altar of gain. They have
piled up great fortunes and accumu-
lated vast treasures, and said to souls
that had shrivelled as wealth had
grown: BE happy now" Barricading
themselves behind their gains, they
have laughed at adversely and Knocked
at the forces that war on happiness.
And then they have seen these foes
march through their lines and wreck
their money made Eden.
1t would seem that men would learn
by now that poverty and riches have
no terminal facilities for happiness.
They are blind trails that end in a
swamp. They are powerless to build
Eden. Not bad in themselves, they
become mischievous when made life's
main pursuit:
The trail of poverty is not travelled
so much nowadays. 1t has grown un-
popular. 1t is not fashionable to be
poor. but it is quite so to be rich. The
trail of wealth was never so crowded.

FOR BETTER STOCK.

The meeting of the Escambia Coun-
| ty Swine Breeders and Growers, which
will convene in Pensacola, July End, is
one of the most important which win
take place here this summer. The pur-
pose Of the meeting Is the organiza-
ton OF a breeders and growers asso-
citation in the county, and an invita-
ton has been extendedto farmers in
terested, whether they are stock rails
ers or not The meeting will be held
on Simply Truck day, preceding the
parade.
1t is not 50 long since Florida was
looked upon merely as citrus and
trucking state Today Florida is one
of the most important livestock
states in the union. There are num-
Der OF reasons for this, one of the chief
of which is the open season which al
lows the production of forage crops
all the year round.
Here in West Florida, where corn
and peanuts are grown at their best.
there Is every reason to believe that
the growing of stock, particularly
swine, will yet become one of our
leading industries.
The Pensacola Piggery, the Richland
Farms. the farms at Valparaiso, and
olucI pdIlS VI w est iOTlud Hdp6
proven that the very best of market
able hogs may be raised here. Swine
fed on corn and peanuts is particular
ly good for the market. and both this
feed is grown here prolifically.
The fact that Mulat carried off one
of the blue ribbons last year and that
the Richland farms carried off high
honors the year before, gives every
reason to believe that this part of the
state is fast becoming recognized as
one of the best stock sections in the
South. Santa Rosa county has not
only carried off number of state
premiums but has won national honors
as well.
The big packing plant as Bombay.
like the one at Moultrie, Ga. offers
an example of what may be accom-
plished in a short time.
Escambia can do nothing more i'm
portant just now than to organize
forces for agricultural and live stock
purposes. This county will come into
it's own with marvellous rapidity, if we
only work with a cooperative spirit.
Already we have shown what may be
accomplished, through county and state
fairs. Now let US get together and
make this county real agricultural
and stock-raising section. 1t has every
right to be. and needs nothing more
than earnest. cooperative effort to
place it where it belongs-right in the
front rank of farming and stock pro-
ducing sections.

Good Roads are
A Necessity
Whey Should Not The Farm Child Have
High School Facilities

The day of the three RS" reading,
riting and rithmatic, have passed.
Higher methods of education prevail
lin order to give the growing youth
an equal opportunity to forge ahead
and compete with the best. City boys
and girls have in that respect had
much the advantage of the country of
the past. There is no reason why TINS
state of affairs should continue. Pub
lie schools of all grades, from the pri-
mary to the high, should be the herlt-
age of every child. Permanent high
ways would make this condition an &C
complished fact. Permanent high
ways would make schooling for the
ones living in the country as conven-
lent as for those living in the city.
and high schooling as well as primary
and grammer would be as easily Access
sible to the children living in the coun-
try as to those living in the city.
Not alone would that solve the ed
vocational problem to great extent.
but good roads would also lessen and
mitigate, if not solve the housing
problem. The congestion of people in
cities is getting to be menace that
will require the best craftsmanship and
Mtruism to solve. The easiest, most
economical and best method OF solv-
ing the housing congestion is by ra-
dating roads. What the urban and
suburban cars and electric trains are
to the city dweller, good roads-lots of
them-will be TO the country dweller
at less expense. Good roads leading
IN every direction will make it pos
sible for every one, no matter how
modest in circumstance, to build a lit
tie home of his own, with plenty of
fresh air and all the freedom and COM
forts of the country added TO the con-
venience of the city.
1t would. indeed, be a glorious time
and splendid scene when this county
would be dotted in every direction
with homes giving ample air and
breathing room to contented families
who each viii have their own modest
home, their garden spot, cows, chick
ems, pigs, and which will enable the
good man of the family TO either come
to work congenial to his likes in the
city, or devote his time to profitable
occupation of his own in the country,
and yet be in constant touch with his
fellow man by phone, post office de-
livery. or the connecting links of good
highways. That condition when arrived
at will be as near the Millennium as
mortal man can reasonably expect. All

Press Comment
Enjoy the Florida Beaches.

Enjoy Ino FIoFloA 6eaCnSSs
Reports from various parts Of the
state are that more resort hotels are
open this summer than has been
known before in Florida. In addition
to hearing this. we find that the pri-
vate, and boarding houses within reach
of salt water are all being filled with
guests, who stay from two days to a
month.
There is no longer such a thing as
a local dependence for any Florida
resort. 1t is easy now to traverse the
state in automobiles and be indepen-
dent of train schedules and immune
from train dust and heat. A hundred
miles In the most modern railway
coach does not begin to compare in
comfort and cleanliness with hun
dred miles in an automobile today
over Florida roads. People from the
interior towns and villages are con-
slant patrons for the weekend of re-
sorts along first the east coast and
then along the west coast.
It is healthy sign. and a hea1thful
habit. 1t is not necessary, always, to
journey far off for change. The
change comes In the different sur
roundings. new people. and varying
fare, even though you take your work
with you, which, Of course, you should
not do If you can possible prevent it,
If the families in Florida owning au-
tomobiles should make it a practice to
visit during the summer several places
in the state they had not enjoyed be-
fore, there would be far less Of the
spirit which criticises distant places,
and much more of the neighborhood
esteem and cordiality which we enjoy
with back fence neighbors.
There is nothing more salutary than
dip in the salt water, there is moth
ing that is more enjoyable than a
swim in the waves. The resultant
benefits to mind and body are so great
that it is almost impossible to reckon
them; and the sooner we learn that
natures greatest restorative. proven
tatiyes, and curatives are fresh air,
plenty of out door exercise, swimming
and bathing in the salt water, and re-
freshing sleep in the open, the quicker
will we be rid of our fear of tubercu-
losis, and other dread diseases, and the
sooner will we find around us healthy
childhood, fitted to become the founda-
ton on which will be erected our pos
terity.
Know your Florida through personal
visitation, and you will be stronger
believer in Florida and a more loyal
adherent to your own part of the state.

BETTER TRANSPORTATION.

T The tour of three Florida and one
Alabama counties which is to be made
by representatives of Pensacola bust
ness houses is one OF utmost import
ance to the development of business in
this section.
The party will be composed of a
dozen automobiles and trucks. seeking
to impress the people of the COM
munities which they will visit with
the the advantages of the simply
truck movement.
Pensacola will put on a ship-by-
truck campaign, and on July 23 the
merchants will celebrate with a fare
refund privilege. Fare refund week
was celebrated once before in Pensa
cola several years ago, and proved TIC
be great success in every way.
The present movement has for its
special object the encouragement OF
utilizing the motor vehicles for trans
portation purposes. No problem which
confronts the people of the nation
and particularly of Florida, is of
greater Importance than that of
transportation. US
During the last freight tie-up thfs
state lost hundreds of thousands of
dollars in perishable goods. such as
vegetab les and fruits. This state of
affairs will continue SO long as the
railroads have the monopoly on freight.
Here is West Florida, the situation
is particularly serious in view of the
fact that there are only few rail-
roads of any great Importance. Any
thing that helps the business men and
farmer to a more Independent posi-
ton, is just that much gain, and be-
comes an important factor in solving
the TRANSFORMATION problem

SOME CATCH.

A catch OF over seven hundred fish
Is the record of the Berean class OF
the First Baptist Church, which has
been spending few days camping on
the Escambia river. A turtle weigh
ing one hundred pounds was also in
the catch. While turtles of much
larger size are frequently caught in
this territory, 1t is seldom that a larg-
err catch of fish is made, and every
member of the party could do some
real publicity work for Pensacola by
writing few letters about this trip
and sending snap shots to out-of-town
friends.
The fishing which abounds in the
waters of Pensacola and Escambia
county is too little advertised. There
is nothing which makes a wider ap-
peal than do the many outdoor pleas
ures afforded here, and every Pensa :
colian should do a part in keeping
these facts before the public.

Record Mine Shaft,

The sinking of a mine shaft 21.5 feet in diameter is no small under taking and it's accomplishment is con- sidered the record for the world in such work. If one visualizes what a hole in the ground over 20 feet across means and 275 feet deep. its magni- tude commences to be appreciated. The feat was accomplished in South Africa The sinking of the shaft was accomplished in 31 days. The aver age tons of earth and rock hoisted a blast was 9O making S,1OO tons for 30 days of sinking: three blasts day. The total explosives used amounted to 15 pounds a foot sunk.
