The total cash premiums were $4,000
The greatest interest, Of course,
centered around the capital premium,
The Ford Touring car. Almost every
body wants a car. Those who have
not owned an automobile are by one
like the boy is by his first watch or
a pistol-they just want one.
An immense crowd gathered in the
City Park Thursday afternoon at 2 80
O'Clock to witness the car award
there was one ticket to be drawn.
Master Henry j. Ray, Jr., was blind
folded and brought forth out of the
big box, which contained all the tick
cts, outside of the Is already drawn
out and on which premiums had been
given, the ticket for the car. In
few minutes Mayor Dotv read,
"Allen J. Angevine" which was greet
ed with applause. The ticket was
given out by the R. Pressgrove Dry
Goods Co. Mr.. Angevine drew the
third premium on the first day
premiums were drawn. He was
dOublv lucky. The car was standing
nearby with Mr.. A. j. McCaslin, the
proud and intelligent manager of the
Ford Agency in Grenada, aboard.
The whole drawing was absolutely
fair. If there has been ANYBODY to
complain, The Sentinel has not heard
of it.
The merchants of Grenada are sat-
isfed with the result of Trade Week
and desire to express their grateful
to the trading public in
which The Sentinel joins them. This
paper believes that outside of the
mere matter of business, that Dollar
Trade Week and the premiums give
have served to bring Grenada and the
trade Of the surrounding territory
closer together.

GOOD NEWS ABOUT ZAP.

The latest news from Washington
indicates that Japan is prepared to
make concessions to the United States
in the dispute over the island of zap.
Just what these concessions will be
and whether they will be big enough
to meet American demands Is as yet
problematical. But is generally be-
lieved that the Japanese will go far
enough in their proposals form q new
basis for discussion and eventual set
Element Of the whole annoying subject
of Pacific spheres of influence.
This important Washington news
will be very disappointing to the jim
goes who seize upon every point Of
difference between the United States
and Japan to stir up a war feeling.
But it will be equally pleasing to
the great mass Of sane people in both
countries, who would have to do most
of the fighting and paying in such a
war.

YOUR BED IN THE HOSPITAL.

Get your grandfather or any old
resident Of Pensacola to tell you about
Florence Nightingale. II their memo
ries are keen. they'll recall 1854 when
Florence Nightingale went to the bat
tlefields Of the Crimean war with a
staff Of 80 nurses.
That was before the days Of the Red
Cross. It was the first organized
movement to alleviate soldiers suffer-
ing by taking women nurses to the
front.
She was the greatest nurse that ever
lived. was Florence Nightingale.
Largely due to her efforts, nursing
was organized into a definite and hon
orable occupation for women.
That is the reason why May -, the
anniversary Of Florence Nightingale
National Hospital Day.
Hospital Day Is not a tag day." nor
day on which any sort Of drive on
your pocket-book is planned.
It's merely a day on which hospitals
and their patients invite you to drop
In and learn the wonders Of modern
hospital work.
II you have ever been a patient In
modern hospital or visited a friend
there. you know that the hospital is
probably the finest institution that our
civilization has produced.
The service rendered by hospitals is
vaster than you imagine. Arizona,
with many tuberculosis patients, has a
hospital bed for every n people in the
state. That's the highest rate. Mis-
sissippi ranks last. with a hospital bed
for every 1922 people.
Ohio, normal In health and hospital
development, has hospital bed for
every 1872 residents. This probably il
illustrates the average importance of
hospital service in American COM
munities-that at all times one In
every 162 persons may receive hospital
treatment.
National Hospital Day hereafter will
be observed every year. 1t should be-
come as much fixture In your mind
as Thanksgiving. Join with the rest
OF US and give 1t a good send-off.

THE AMERICAN ON THE RHINE

That was a fine compliment the
chief of staff Of the Swiss army paid
the American army on the Rhine
After a visit to the occupied zone, in
which he made thorough inspection
of all the armies-British, French
Belgian and American-he reported to
his government that the Americans
"were the most up-to- date, the best
equipped and the best-looking mill
tary outfit of all the armies of the
world"
That is high praise. considering the
experiences Of the source. For while
the Swiss are not in any sense of the
word a military nation, their citizen
army, always ready to defend the ma
TONS neutrality, has for years chal-
lenged the worlds admiration.
What the Swiss chief of staff says
about the American army on the Rhine
is borne out by the report of other
critical and disinterested observers.
A commission from Holland ex-
pressed a similar view and other ma
lions have asked permission to send
commissions to look over the Ameri-
cans.

so many peaceful years, I had heard
of Jacks immunity so far from

his allegiance to the United States in

any word directly from Jack. He had
told me that he would not write to me
because of Dicky's jealousy, but that If

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM e. BARTON
WE ARE IMPROVING!

We are interested in ourselves, and
what people think of us. II there is
any man in Europe for whose good
opinion we have reason to care, it is
Viscount James Bryce. His book, ''The
American Commonwealth" still stands
as the most notable Interpretation OF
our institutions since De Tocqueville
Comes now his new work, Modern
Democracies," the fruit of his matur-
est judgment. 1t is a solemn book in
some of it's aspects, and not without
warning to America as well as to the
rest of the world. But here is what
he says about America now and SO
years ago:
Fifty years ago administration
was worse and politics more cor
rupt than they are today, but re-
formers were fewer and found far
fewer listeners: Today they are
heard gladly, because the public
conscience and the public sense of
what America means for the world
is more sensitive. Every fresh eff
fort stimulates these feelings and
keeps the need for Improvement
before the minds of those who
lead. When compare the volume
of discussion of political, social
economic subjects which issue from
the American press today, descrip-
tons of present evils, analyses of
their sources, suggestions for their
extinction, with the scanty consid-
Grafton these matters formerly re-
ceived, and with spirit of lugu-
brious dependency that chilled the
reformers of those days. I am as
tonished at the change, and well
come it as auguring well for the
future progress"
There is comfort in this. We are
not so good as we ought to be, but We
once were worse!
The good old times were not so
good as fond memory paints them.
There were evils in the olden time, and
they had friends in high places. 1t was
not easy to dislodge them, and. many
of them are still firmly entrenched
But our generous and sympathetic as
well as discriminating critic, believes
that we are better than we were half
a century ago, with a finer public
spirit, and a spirit as reflected in our
press that has in it much hope for the
future.
Thank you, Sir James. We are en-
couraged by your good opinion. It
helps us to know that you have not
lost confidence in us. We are not as
good as we ought to be; We are glad
you think us better than we were. We
hope you are right. Let us inform you
in strict confidence, we intend to be
better still!

PRESS COMMENT
The Tomato Gamers Predieament-


Tomatoes, fresh or canned, have
become one Of the main resources OF
tho American housewife. Indications
point to a reduced stock OF the canned
article in the general markets in the
future which will be felt in the way
of higher prices for that item of the
diet. It cannot be charged to prof.
teering when it comes but 1t will be
due to the suspension OF a number OF
canneries which is threatened.
Reports received by the United
States Bureau of Crop Estimates show
a probable reduction in the size OF
the pack this year due to the partial
suspension Of some Of the cannerias.
total in cases of others. Losses in
1920. big carry over and present
low prices and lack of demand for
canned tomatoes ara probably the
principal reasons says the bureau,
although high rates are reasons given
in many cases for the contemplated
reduction in the size of the pack"
A number Of Gamers in different
states report that they still have the
1920 pack, and even part of that of
1919, on hand. AS one expresses it
1--WE could not pack water on today's
market and make any money Another
reports:~ IF tomatoes were given &c
the Gamers they could not make
profit. Cans and containers are toe
high to pack tomatoes
AS usual, the farmer seems to be
the shock absorber To accept the
prices that are only what the Gamer
can afford to pay unless he is merely
in the business 'for his health" the
grower finds himself compelled to let
his crop rot upon the ground. To be
sure, he has thereby lost the use of
his field for q season, the cost OF seed
or plants, Of fertilizer and labor, but
the further cost of gathering his croE
and taking it to the cannery would
only make his loss the greater.
Taught by last years experience ne
reduced his acreage where the cannery
was his only market. In some states
only about one-twentieth of last years
acreage was planted this year. Under
all these adverse circumstances, toma-
toes will probably be scarce and high
before the year is out.
If the so-called consumers strike"
is responsible for this result, 1T would
seem to have been something OF
boomerang. If the packing industry
has been overdone, it Is situation
which will cure itself in the course OF
another year or SO.
The Florida trucker produces toma-
toes chiefly for a different market
from the Northern farmer who gem
orally raises them under contract to
some cannery, or relies upon one to
take up the surplus of his crop. Al
the time when the Florida product
appears upon the market the consum-
ing public has become tired OF the
canned article and feels the need OF
food fresher from the soil with which
to cleanse the blood from the accumu-
lated humors Of winter. The price OF
SO to $3.50 for choice and 81 to S4.oo
for fancy quoted by the state market
ing bureau last Saturday would have
been highly remunerative in the days
when crates cost far less than they 90
today, when labor was cheap ard
TRANSPORTATION rates were low. But
these are other days. At all events,
the Florida grower is not in the same
case with the Northern contract
grower Of tomatoes.-Times Union.
