Are You Striking a Blow
At Yourself?
Every Pensacoliaa should shop In
Pensacola. This ts not to say that
every PencacoUan should do simply
corns of his buying at home, but that
fee sjtould do all of It in the city where
fee Is earning his bread, and Where his
associates are making a dally living:
It Is sometimes contended that goods
can be bought cheaper array from
teome than In the home snarket. This
fn a specious argument and readily
proven a weak one.
It ta claimed that by shopping with
the mail order houses money can be
saved, because these houses can afford
' to sell at o much cheaper rate, as
they buy In such large quantities, own
their buildings and many their factor
ies, and thus are enabled to give the
prices of wholesalers rather than re
tailers. This may seesa good, logical reason
tag to the casual reader or the
thoughtless shopper. But, following
that lino of reasoning would not only
put every merchant In Pensacola out
ef business, but would strike such a
Now to every Industry as to pauperize
the whole community.
This may seem a sweeping assertion
to the reader who has not thought out
the question of shopping at home
versus shopping byxoatalogue, except
ea rcaj-as lis convemence to tae snop
per. '
The average man or woman does
not realize that la shopping through
the mall order houses he or she Is not
only striking a direct blow at the
merchants of Pensacola, but a direct
blow at himself or herself.
Nearly every merchanit In Pensacola
rents his store. Many merchants In
Pensacola rent houses. Every mer-j
chant in Pensacola hires a number of
salespeople, one or more . bookkeepers.'
and sther clerical force. Every mer
chant In Pensacola does banking. Jn
Pensacola. Every time you shop away
from home you hurt the Pensacola
merchants. And every time you strike
a blow at the Pensacola merchants
you strike & blow at the bankers, at
those who own property, at the rental
agents at the bookkeepers, the steno
graphers, the buyers, the clerks.
When you hurt tanking you hurt the
financial backers of the community.
wjwn you nurt the property owner
you hurt the real estate market. When
you hurt the bookkeepers and steno
graphers and buyers and clerks you
hurt the backbone of the commercial
Ufs, for you are taking the means of
livelihood from hundreds of women
sad men of Pesnocola.
This is not idle talk. These are
facets. Tacts that any sane man or
woman can see.
"When you hit the Pensacola mer
Tihant you have thrown a boomerang
that, sooner or later, will come back
with tremendous force.

don't make It In Chicako. If everyone

The Journal's Christmas
Doll and Toy Fund.
The Journal Is going to start a Doll
and Toy fund for Christmas. Every
year appeals com rrom various per
sons, asking The Journal to give pub
licity to the need of caring for the
little ones at the Christmastide, that
their stockings may not be found
empty on Christmas morning, and that
they may not feel slighted by the
good patron saint of the .Yuletide.
The Journal has decided this year
to have a Doll and Toy Fund, and will
be glad to have contributions to It,
from any who are interested. This
has been a hard year with many in
Pensacola, and there are many who
would like to contribute to charity at
this season, when everyone thinks of
tha approaching Christmastide and
the lowly Babe In the Manger, the
Christ Child. But many are not able
to give as generously as usual for
Christmas charity work. And for these
The Journal's Doll and Toy Fund win
be a means of doing much good with
little outlay.
The journal wui do just as giaa to
get a shining silver quarter or ten
pennies from some little bank, as a
dollar bill or a five dollar gold piece.
Everybody can spare a dime or a
quarter, for the children. Some can
apare more. But whatever one can
give, remember that it Is multiplied a
hundredfold, when there are many
small gifts. , Let each give simethlng

Nicholas Girl, of whom the readers
of The Journal shall hear more later
on.
The Journal will be glad to receive
contributions to The Dull and Toy
fund and will start the fund with
contribution of five dollars. Remember
the amounts contributed need not be
great. They can be as small or as
arge as o generosity or necessity
prompts. But what The Journal
wishes particularly to Impress Is the
fact that there Is a great need "for

Let All Shop Early
This Christmastide.
Christmas la 1ut ntr
everybody should beg-in to make nlans
f or the holidays. "Shop Early" has
become a wordwide slogan, and Pen-
sacollans should riot be behindhand in
xne cariy snapping movement.
a. i . .
The appeal for early shopping Is
generally made to the women, but the
men can help in this, too. Most men
commission some of their womankind
to do their holidav shonlne- frr them.
and they can aid the eerfv shotmLna-
cause materially by planning a little
ahead of time this year for the Christ
mas giving.
The Christmastide should never be
so commercialized as to lose its fun
damental reason for being. Christmas
giving is but an expression of love,
euner to tne lndividuax orthe race.
wnen It becomes less than this, it
loses that quality of Christian charity ave occurred that were directly trace
that makes it the leavening season of J able to the negligence and inattention
the year the time of the twelfth- j of employes, and he strenuously in
month that Is dedicated to others. eIsts that If everyone obeyed the law
St. Paul in one of his beautiful epis- I
ties to the Ephesians closes with these the -company accidents would be ma
words: "Faith. HoDe and Charitv. terially minimized. These views are
these three, but the greatest of these
Is charity." Some translators have In-
terpreted the word charity as love.
Certainlv the can be no charitv with.
out love, and St Paul says in this
same epistle: "Though I speak with
the tongues of men and of angels
and though I give my body to
be burned and have not
charity. It proflteth me nothing." To
St. Paul charity and love were cer
tainly synonymous.
So the Christmtlm l tint a. te
of charity In the modern sense of the
term, but a season of love, In the sense
in which St. Paul uses it. And unless
it Is a season of love and "good 'tid
ings" it loses its reason for being.
Christmas giving has assumed such
proportions with the growing popu
larity of the celebration of the anni
versary, that it Is coming to be, to
some, a burden, instead of the "joy of
giving" that it should be. Unless a
Christmas gift be prompted by love,
It loses the greater part of Its value.
But there are other than material
gifts that can add to the happiness of
the holidays.
And one of the in rvwi si rtr n for
others. That "divine understanding"

Let one of the first considerations be
for those to whom, unless this consid-1
e ration Is shown, Christmas must be
come an ordeal to dread. Instead of a
time of "peace and good will."
Let all make their plans and start
their shopping early, in order that, in
sofar as is possible, the great Christ
mas rush at the last may be avoided.

PROMINENT MARIANNA ATTOR
NEY, TALKS OF THE GREAT EX

abourt the success -of the West Florida
Faar, held at Marianna this year, but
Hon J Bowers Campbell, a prominent
lawyer of Marianna and the secretary
who was here to see Juds:e Sheopard
of the f edecal court for -the northern
district of . Florida, last Friday, slave
some information regarding the fair,
which is not generally known..
On Friday. Nov. 4. which was the
last day of the fair, there were some
thing more than 6,700 paid admissions
to tnls fair, accordiner to Mr. Camp
bell, and all school children and teach
ers In the entire county of Jackson
were admitted free, besides the num
ber of season tickets and passes out,
which must have numbered anywhere
from two hundred to Ave hundred.
wniie tne admission was only ten
cents, the gate receipts were sufficient
to please the directors of the fair and
It is thought that the fair of this year
is only an indication of what it will be
next year.
The first premium for an agricul
tural exhibit at this fair was won by
Calhoun county, but all of the exhibits
shown were very creditable, according
to Mr. Bowers, and next year the fair
win rival any ever pulled off in West

Mr. Bowers is much interested in
the Pensacola Interstate Fair and said
that he hoped that next year the
dates and everything else could be so
arranged that the Pensacola Interstate
Fair and the West Florida Fair could
co-operate with each other and the
exhibits from one could be taken to
the other.

SEX HYGIENE IN THE
By Dr. S. R. Mallory Kennedy, Member State
In my last article on Sex Hygiene I
advocated sex education in the public
schools, so that in the future, no young
man could say, "If I had only , known."
The Ladies Home Journal with its
enormous circulation has placed before
the wives and sisters of this country
much information along this line; other
magazines have taken up this subject,
and if they will only keep at it, it will
not be long before the future genera
tion will be pretty well informed.
I believe that The Pensacola Journal
is the first newspaper in the state that
has been brave enough to open its col
umns to a discussion of these evils.
Atlanta papers during 1912 ran a series
of articles in which a spade was called
a spade, but they were paid for at cur
rant advertising rates. If anything Is
to be accomplished toward protecting
boys and girls, it must be done at an
early age. If we put off until tomorrow
what should have been taught today
we will find that in the majority of
cases we have locked the stable door
after the horse is gone.
Every. day I am struck by the ig
norance along these lines among the
laity. At the recent International
congress on school hygiene held at
Buffalo, August 25 to 30, ex-President
Eliot, president of the congress, and
chairman of the section on sex hy
giene, said that he recognized that no
SUDDEN improvement in sex condi
tion, the prevalence of veneral diseases
and morality could ever be obtained.
The improvement must be gradual and
the results secured by a combination
of measures. No one specific remedy
could be successfuL Segregation and
the teaching of the church have both
been tried without avail. THE GEN

Goldsmith is said to have been with
the Pettiway brothers previous to the
hold-up and to also have been with
them in Chas. Smith's restaurant on
West Zarragossa street late Thursday
night, where Osgood Pettiway is said
to have displayed a large roll of
money. Pettiway is also said to have
spent money freely in the restricted
district Thursday night or early Fri
day morning, but so far he has been
unable to explain how he came into
possession of $143.40, which was found
on him when he was arrested at Flo
maton. When Osgood Pettiway was asked
by Chief Sanders to give him the
name of the other negroes with him in
Smith's restaurant, he told the chief
that he did not know his name, but
when Goldsmith was arrested he said
that Pettiway has known him for
many years, having lived a few doors
from him on East Chase street, where
he was arrested.
