THE PREPAREDNESS PARADE.
All good Americans here will welcome
in the preparedness parade an opportunity
to show their patriotism and express their
loyalty to the president, under whose guid
ing hand the country has prospered so won
drously and whose. far-visioned policy has
kept us from war.
Many years ago the issue was, No en
tangling alliances with Europe. Now on
the eve of a national election the issue is,
Whether or not we shall resist aggression
from any quarter.
No more appropriate anniversary could
be chosen for Pensacola's Preparedness
Parade than July the Fourth, and The Jour
nal predicts a brilliant success. The Carni
val Association, under whose auspices it
will be held, should be given the earnest
support of every club or organization in the
city, and if this is done there will be a turn
out of several thousand at the least.
o
WHERE TO SPEND YOUR SUMMER
VACATION.
Now that summer is here, the exodus to
the north will soon begin, and many dollars
will be taken out of the city. It is true that
there are many delightful ways of spending
the summer away from home, but it is also
true that there are equally as many delight
ful ways of spending the summer right here
in Pensacola. '
Every year many men and women go
away from Pensacola for the summer
months who might very much better re
main at home, and enjoy the summer here.
Why not take the money that you have
saved up for your vacation this year and
spend it in Pensacola? It is safe to say, if
you did this, you would get more real fun
and greater benefit than in any other vaca
tion you have ever spent.
Few persons can get a real vacation for
less than one hundred dollars. Usually the
vacation costs several times more than that.
Think how much fun you could get right
here at home with one hundred dollars of
good money!
How many trips across the bay could be
taken, how many automobile rides over
country roads, how many .things you have
already wanted to buy for yourself, but
could never afford.
. Why not try a Made-in-Pensacola vaca
tion this year? Instead of taking a long,
tiresome journey, putting up for a few days
in a stuffy hotel, eating poorly cooked food
and being bored to death, take your one
hundred dollars and see how much fun you
can get out of it at home.
somebody ought to start a Pensacola
.Vacation Club, with the slogan: "Spend
your vacation money in Pensacola!"
THE DAY OF LARGE THINGS.
ims is an age of colossal achievement.
The accomplishments are so stuoendous.
the results of action so tremendous, that it
takes a cataclysm to move the world, and a
tornado to rock the emotions.
Over the morning coffee each day men
and women read of events the import of
which is so great as to fairly stagger the
intellect, yet they lay down the newspaper,
yawn, and say: "There is nothing in the
paper today.
Down in Mexico the American soldiers.
cold with the rigor of the mountain winds
and scorched from the blasts of the desert,
are making many a skirmish and sortie
which should thrill the hearts of their
countrymen. And men and women read
and yawn and say: "Nothing doing in
Mexico today."
Over the sea in that tremendous conflict
which has shaken the universe to its centre,
the hosts of the world meet and struggle in
victory and defeat, and while they are
changing the map of the world, men and
women yawn and say:
"Nothing of interest in the war zone to
day." Up in Chicago the most dramatic fight
in national politics is taking place, here in
Florida one of the most interesting battles
since the days of reconstruction is being
presented, and men and women glance at
the headlines, and are off to the movies.
The other day in Ireland there was
staged one of the most dramatic revolutions
ever put upon the stage of the world. In
all the history of that tempestous people
nothing so romantic has ever been a part of
history, but today it has been almost tor
gotten, for the stage has already been set
tor other and larger events.
On the North sea the other day a ship
went down and Kitchener of Kartoum was
lost to the world. The acknowledged Eng
lish leader of the day went to his death,
but his passing has been submerged in the
great conflict of the battle of Verdun.
And so it goes. Men meet and grapple
and are carried down in this tremendous
conflict, and other men rise up to take their
places, and meet and grapple and are car
ned down, and other men rise up to take
their places. And the newspapers' each
morning come out with stories that a few
years ago would have kept the civilized
world ablaze with interest. And men read
and say: "Nothing much in the paper to
day. World events are moving so fast,
and the results are so tremendous, that th
finite mind can grasp only so much of the
meaning of the march of events.
The day will come when our children's
children will see the events of the dav in
the proper perspective. As for us, we read
of horrors which throttle feeling, and of
heroism which passes believing, of action
which staggers the mind, and fold the pa
per and yawn and go to the moving pic
tures.
FARMING AND SCIENCE.
Agriculture is what colleges teach, and
THE SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY.
farming is what men do for a living, says
writer in the New York World. Like
most aphorisms, this clever bit of phrasing
sounds well, but will not bear a close in
spection, for the man who makes the rea
living out of farming these days is the man
who combines practical work and scientific
aining, whether that training is secured
in the college, the agricultural school, or
from government bulletins.
The day has passed when any man may
achieve any success in any calling without
training. Competition today is keen and
fierce, in all lines of endeavor.
While this is not as true of the farmer
as of men in other vocations, the ranks are
becoming more and more crowded each
day, and the fact is being: demonstrated
again and again that the practical farmer
the man who makes good, is the man who
has studied his problems and applied wha
he has learned.
To any thoughtful persons, the wonder
is not that farmers are succeeding by apply
ing science to their calling, but that they
have ever succeeded without a scientific un
derstanding of thir work.
The doctor does not attempt to cure his
patients without a thorough understanding
of what he is undertaking. The lawyer
does not plead his case, without a knowl
edge of law. The minister goes through
the theological seminary, and the actor
takes a course in dramatic art. Only the
farmer believes that he does not need to be
trained for his work. He leaves it all to
Nature and to Nature's law, and when he
wins success he does so at a most tremen
dous sacrifice.
It is time that men who take up agricul
ture come to a realization of the fact that
here, as in every other calling, there are
things that must be learnd, and that these
lessons must be applied if success is to ioh
low.
Slowly the farmer of the south are learn
ing these facts, and are coming to the
realiaztion that only through their practi
cal application will success come to them.
The farmer who works, and who brings
to his work an intelligent understanding,
will succeed where the other man fails, just
as the doctor or the lawyer who is trained
succeeds where the untra'ined does not.

LOOKING 4 YEARS BACKWARD.
Six days before the 1912 Democratic
convention the leaders of the party, in
cluding Norman Mack, Tom Tggart,
Roger Sullivan and Urey Woodson got to
gether in Baltimore ancf marked time while
awaiting the result of the - Republican
fracas.
'No," said the old farmer, as he
pulled a cattle tick off a likely heif
er, "no, I'm not going to set any traps
in my melon patch. If the boys want
to raid it, they are welcome. Just so
ong as they leave me one runt of a
melon in the far corner of the patch
'm satisfied.
"I remember," he continued, rub
bing the heifer under the ear, "I re
member the first and only time I even
set trap guns. The boys had gotten
almost all of my melons the year be
tore, and this time I said I would
get even. So I planted half a dozen
guns and pointed in all directions,
with trigger wires criscrossing the
patch.
"Now, said I to myself, I've got
em.
"Well I kept the young vines njce-
y hoed, and they made a wonderful
growth. It was the year people still
talk of as the great melon year.
One morning a month or so after
the last hoeing, I thought I would
take a look through the patch to see
how the fruit was holding. I opened
the gate, such a mass of vine you
never saw in your life. I took one
step and then 'most fainted!
"I had plumb forgotten where the
guns were, and they were all covered
with the vines!
"Well sir, you neer did see such
melons. Looked like they were as
big as a barrel. You could hear
them grow. They strained the fence
could just imagine myself eating
one under an oak tree on the bank
of a river some sweltering day, then
laying back, pulling my hat over my
eyes, and fading away into a sweet
watermelon doze! You ever been
there son?
"But I dasn't.set my foot inside
of the patch.
People passing down the road
would stop and gape, and it looked
to me like every city fellow who had
an automobile tried to buy melons
from me that summer. I calculate
I lost about two hundred dollars.
"By and by fall came, and the mel
ons all shrunk and rotted away and
the leaves dried, and I eot those
counfounded guns and dumped them
into the river the same river that
had the oak tree on the bank!
"But there never has been a season
to equal that one. I went a whole
year without watermelon once, and

No me Whoa, gin. Now she's i
pretty thing, ain't she; but Sightly
sir, flighty; can't stand a little thing
like a tickle in the ear a-tall."
Now Tampa is talking about a Pre
paredness parade. But Pensacola
beat it to it!
Now that the man came anion? us
the design of whose shirt is plainly
visible through the back of his coat,
we hereby register a solemn vow not
to allude to'feminine peek-a-boo.
We agree with the New Orleans
States that it's not new designs on
dimes, quarters, -nd halves that the
country needs, but more of the old
models.
Hurrah for the Prepared Parade.

Towing the barge Harry Morse, the
steam tug Asher J. Hudson has ar
rived in Mobile, and reports a voyage
without incident. The barge was the
one filled out with & cargo of coal
from the Alabama mines at Pensacola
last? month and sent to Cuba, and it
was reported upon a return of the
Morse that the Cuban buyers were
highly pleased with the fuel product,
obtained from a new source. This
is taken to mean that other exports
are possible through this and other
gulf ports to the Cuban buyers.
Until quite recently, it Is said, Cuba
has been drawingupon Atlantic ports
for her coal supply, and until the
Morse and a former schooner supplied
the Alabama product at what is re
ported to have been much of a sav
ing, the gulf ports were not looked
upon as coal shipping points. As sat
isfactory shipments of the two trial
cargoes was the result of the first at
tempts, quite a business is looked for
through Pensacola and other gulf
ports.

The West Florida Baptist Associa
tion and Woman's Auxiliary Conven
tion convening last nigh;, at Mt. Olive
Baptist church, Rev M. C. II. Dilliard
pastor. Both conventions are largely
attended. The Association is com
posed largely of the pasters of the dis
trict, while quite a number of lay
men are in attendance. The Associa
tion is presided over by Rev E. L.
Simpson, this being his sixth conse-j
cutive election. The Woman's con-;
vention is presided over by L. F.
Thos. The meeting are in every re
spect interesting and harmonous and
of general uplift. One of the most
interesting features of this session is
the burning of the mortgage of The
West Florida Baptist Academy pro-!

part of th'city.
With steam up and ready to move
to whatever dock she is assigned, the
Austrian steamship Lucia presented
a lively appearance yesterday in the
harbor, after lying at anchor for near
ly two hours. It is planned to have
the steamer come to one of the city
wharves whenever proper arrange
ments are made, in order to place
in cars for transportation elsewhere
the 6,000 tons of Florida phosphate
Kvhich have been in her holds for
nearly two years.
There are a number of officers on
the steamer, but they were last night
unadvised when she would come up
to the wharf, or what arrangements
had been made to discharge her cargo.
They had been notified, however, to
get the steamer in readiness to move
and to work with her own steam
power, and these instructions have
been followed out to the letter.
Ii. addition to raising steam during
the past few days, the derricks have
been hoisted, and this also gives the
steamer a different appearance, for
it was nearly two years yesterday
since these uprights had been looked
after.
It is understood that the cargo has
been sold, and that it will be delivered
to buyers at some northern market,
in railroad cars. It is known that
inquiries have been made for scores
of empty cars, and this i3 taken to
mean that, once a sufficient number
are on hand, the big and long-time
inactive steamer will be ordered to
one of the wharves, to discharge.
