INCREASE In GUNNERs.

| Recently George A. Lawyer, chief
| United States game warden, told r.
: p. Holland that Investigations made
! by the Bureau OF Biological Survey
showed that the sales of hunting Ii
censes had increased in almost every
state in the union. Mr.. Lawyer stated
further that the data gathered would
easily prove that the sale of hunting
, licenses over the entire country had
! increased Is per cent in 1920 over 1919.
! This is a very interesting piece of
news. 1t shows conclusively that more
people are taking an interest in field
| sports than formerly. However, the
entire Is per cent cannot be figured as
an increase in men afield, for in many
cases greater efficiency in state fish
and game departments has resulted
in increasing the sale of licenses where
! perhaps the same number of gunners
| existed as in the previous year. From
| the American Game Protective associ-
atoms knowledge of the different state
game departments, we are confident
, that only in one of two cases would it
be possible for the entire 10 per cent
| to be accounted for in this manner.
Each year has shown an increase in
the number Of men seeking game
afield. The important conclusion to
this news has to do with the game.
with the number of men afield in
creasing each year, it is necessary that
added efforts be put forth in order that
the game supply shall not be depleted.
A state system for local game such as
Pennsylvania has in vogue is the
answer-refuges where the game can
not be disturbed, surrounded by pub
lie shooting grounds.
This same system is embodied in
the public shooting ground-game ref
uge bill now before congress. When
this measure becomes a law the mi
gratory birds, both game and insec-
tivorous, will be adequately protected,
regardless Of the increase in gunners,
and the sportsmen will be insured a
place to hunt for all time to come.

A Possible Labor Party

Things that are going to happen IN
! the future are usually so much talked
about before they appear that nobody
has much faith in their actual occur-
renee. For many years we have heard
talk of a labor party, with predictions
I that it would arise and sweep the
| country at the next election. It never
arose. About the time it got ready to
form, republican leaders came out with
new recipe for filing the dinner
pail, and the organization suspended
business.
In spite of this, however, we should
not be surprised If the next three
years mark the formation Of genuine
American labor party. A little news
report in Thursdays papers that in
vitations to a gathering OF union men
and sympathizers for the purpose of
organizing a party had been sent out
by somebody in Chicago, need not be
taken too seriously. although it is a
straw showing which way the breeze
is blowing. But general indications
are far more convincing.
The breach between labor and capt.
tai is constantly widening. The open
shop plan is gaining favor. Strikes on a
big scale, as in the threatened railroad
strike of last fall, are becoming un-
popular and impractical. Labor cannot
carry its points by brute force, except
in a very small way.
Hence, if the labor movement is TO
continue, it simply must take political
form. On the contrary, sympathy
with labor, aside from those demands
of the unions which appear tyrannicaI
and contrary to the American spirit,
was never stronger than today.
There is, in fact, a pronounced and
rather violent division Of sentiment
on the whole labor question; and this
division extends to other matters akin
TO the mere struggle for better work.

there is a growing dissatisfaction, not

AIDS IN GROWTH OF CITY.

There is only one way to make real
estate move, and that is by advertis-
| ing" said B. B. Tatum, millionaire real
estate man of Miami, according to a
news story carried by the Daytona
Daily News several days ago. Mr.. Ia
tum spent short time in Daytona on
business, and it was during an inter-
view with the reporter of the paper
there that he made the statement.
1.-THE great success and the remarlla-
BILE growth of the city of Miami" con-
tinued Mr.. Tatum,' is due to a great
extent to the progressive work of real
estate brokers and the unlimited use
of printers ink in placing before the
general public the great advantages of
real estate investment in that city"
"I was dumfounded on picking up
your paper last night and finding not a
single real estate man pushing any
project in this locality, a locality that
has wonderful opportunities"
Mr.. Tatum made this statement in
reference to Daytona, a city way over
on the East Coast of Florida, many
miles from Pensacola.
He hit the nail on the head!
His very words ring true, and are
just as applicable right here in PEN
sacola. We cannot deny it!
Pensacola is a city layishly endowed
by nature, ideally located geographic
cally, boasting the best deep water
harbor south of Newport News, just
teeming with possibilities, and yet the
real estate men sit with their hands
in their pockets. Waiting!
The real estate men Of Miami use
page after page in the daily newspa-
pers of that city, and it is almost pitt
full that the ones in Pensacola have
not awakened to the opportunity be-
fore them by telling the people what
they have to sell!
The property values in this city are
far below what they should be, but
with the wonderful natural attrac-
tions that we have, are we going to
wake up some day and find them
doubled.
Advertising has made other cities.
1t will make Pensacola! Printers ink,
and plenty of it, used persistently,
day in and day out, is absolutely the
one and only thing that will do the
work Think. it over!

AN ADEQUATE LIBRARY.
An adequate library for t.

An adequate library for the new
Pensacola high school!
Such is the vision OF the Kiwanis
club. The people of Escambia county
are to congratulate this worthy move
nent with their cooperation and as
sistance in helping Pensacola's XII
wants club to provide library for our
new high school that is second to none
in this section.
There appears elsewhere in The
Journal today list of the books need
ed by the high school. 1t is the duty
Of every person in the county, and
elsewhere, if they appreciate the real
meaning of a well equipped library
and feel justified in making a dona-
ton, to read over the list and see il
they have in their collection of books
any that are needed by our boys and
girls.
No sensible person can deny the
value of reading good books. The
greatest authors and poets of the ages
have treated the subject at every an
gle, and through all this mass of lit
erature we are able to discern the
truth of that assertion.
Books are q mans best friends"
The more we think of those few words
and the fullness OF their meaning, the
more we come to realize the impor-
lance of providing books-good books,
not trash--to our young folks.
We must remember that a childs
mind during it's school days, especially
grammar and high school, is in a plas-
tic stage. Their minds are not fixed
Everything with which they come in
contact makes an impression. The
things that they read now will lend a
lasting influence on their entire life.
If they are forced for the lack OF
something better to read trashy" lit
erature, then it is reasonable to expect
that they will think and act in terms
of those that they read.
We cannot escape it, Are you a
reader? Do you encourage your chill
dren to read good literature? Do you
think of the nights that your boy, or
your girl, would stay at home getting
acquainted with the Brownings, Gold
smith, the French Revolution, figures
of the Renaissance and thousands of
others.
If they never read such things in
school they will never read them in
the home. II they cannot find some
thing at school or in the home to inter

WHAT KIND OF STOCK ARE YOU
RAISING?

Farmers and stock growers, partic-
ularly in West Florida, will be inter
ested in a statement made recently by
the superintendent of the state farm
at Raiford, where more than 500 head
of hogs win be butchered this year.
This means, according to estimates.
total of 100000 pounds Of pork!
At recent hog killing" at the
state farm. 27S head We're butchered,
and all except four were thorough
bred animals. These four were
scrubs.
Another strong argument, in actual
figures, favoring growing only pure
bred hogs is that the scrubs averaged
2o1 pounds and the thoroughbreds av-
eraged 800 pounds. A profitable diff
ference!
Mr.. Escambia County Farmer, Mr..
West Florida stock Grower! What
kind of stock are you raising? Are
you getting the most out of your eff
forts-your investment?
This section of Florida in general,
and Escauloia county in particular,
has every advantage for stock raising,
thousand upon thousand OF acres of
farm, cut-over and timbered lands,
plenty of running streams; land
adapted to the growing of all kinds
of forage crops, in fact, the possfbili-
ties of this section of the state as a
stock raising center are unlimited!
A large number of our farmers have
already realized the extra profits de-
rived from the raising of hogs-pure
breds. not scrubs-and this step has
been the one TO bring them good re-
ENTHUSIASTICALLY more than If they
had put trust in ''piney woods rooters."
Thoroughbreds can be raised at the
same cost. with the same care. and
man is foolish if he does not get in
the swim and make his business pay
the most.
Plans are under way for the con-
struction of an date packing
plant out near Klondyke, right here in
Escambia county, where the farmer
can sell his hogs direct to the packer.

And this is not all. Brother Reed also

a number of Santa Rosa countys pro-
gressive people, and we cannot help
but say a good word for those folks
over in our sister county.
They are a progressive bunch! Es-

with the spirit of cooperation and
progressiveness that will convert
those possibilities into realitiesi

A FLORIDA FACT

Nowhere does the rose grow and
varieties and make each crop better
produce such magnificent blooms as
in Florida. In the morning, when
sparkling with dew, they seem to be
doubly beautiful, and at noontide the
bright satiny petals bash back the
rays of the midday sun. The rose
thrives in almost any garden-there
is no secret about growing them. The
most important point is in the selec-
ton of the plants and varieties. Open
air roses can be had for Christmas, as
well as for Easter and the Fourth OF
July. Nowhere else are finer lilies
grown, not even in Bermuda, an is
land off in the Atlantic can do better,
from whence thousands of dollars
worth are shipped every spring to
northern cities. Florida should be in
the flower exporting industry. Florida
is the Land OF Flowers" They grow
here on trees. shrubs. plants and vines.

Who Is the Person Who Wishes to

from showing my discontinue when
Cousin Agatha handed me the grimy
envelope-the second of its kind-that
had come to me-with the sneering re-
mark that 1 really ought to tell my cor

Cousin Agatha's words, hateful as
they were, had nothing to do with my
discomfort. But the sight Of the en-
velope she handed me from the morn

| same person who had sent me a similar
one the day before, dismayed me.
1 longed to get away my room to
examine it, but knew better than to do
so too quickly Cousin Agatha's feline
eyes were watching me closely behind
their discreetly lowered lids and
knew that her curiosity was quivering
in its eagerness to find out what the
mysterious envelopes contained.
I was horribly afraid she would say
| something about the disreputable look

fortunately for my peace of mind
hadn't been downstairs when the mail
arrived, either the day before or this
morning. But I heard nothing from
Mother Graham about the letters,
proving conclusively that Cousin
Agatha had held her tongue. for my

cred the existence of the letters, would
have given me no rest until not only
told her all about them, but had put

FARM PRODUCTS DECLINE DUE
TO TREATY DEFEAT

In a colIoquy with Senator Lenroot
(Newberry Republican, Wis.) on de-
cline of farm product prices, Senator
Harrison pointed out the one chief
cause.-The destruction of the foreign
markets. He said:
IT will tell the senator how he could
have helped the farmer get enough
for his wool. and I will tell him how
he could have helped the farmer to
get a higher price for his corn and
his wheat and his other products. The
depreciation in the price of farm pro-
ducts was caused by the senator and
those who Conspired with him, mar
shaded by the leader of the majority
in this chamber, who defeated the
treaty for the objects of which our
boys fought and won the war. That
action disheartened Europe, broke
down credits, bankrupted industries.
and caused such an industrial and
commercial chaos in Europe that de-
'stroyed every vestige of hope to the
American farmer to again find a mar
ket for his surplus products.
THAT was the reason why wheat
and corn and the farmers other prod
ucts declined and they are going to re-
main low until you can become wise
enough to see that we must have for
eign markets; until you can appre-
ciate the necessity of sympathetic
relationship with the world and en-
gage in the solution of international
economic problems. When that time
comes We can sell our surplus prod
ucts. ana then their price will be in
