Bars Must Have Facilities

To Serve Food To Patrons

The state beverage department
has underway a campaign to en-
force an old law requiring all 'bars
to have facilities for serving foqd
to their customers. Bar room op-
erators who do not comply with
the law by December 1 run the
risk of having their licenses re-
voked.
The law. ,provides, that "at a.
'.places of business where sales by
the -drink or for consumption on
Ithe premises, -are paMnift d regu-
lar meals shall be offered, pre-
pared and served, either a la carte
or American plan."
Beverage department officials
state that the law does not re-
quire the food to tbe cooked on taeo
premises where served and, there-
fore, it may either be cooked on

And Applause

,The world's premiere perform-
ance of the St. Joe Doodlebug
Minstrels last night played to a
packed house in the high school
auditorium, with the "Standing

before the show began.
'The large and, appreciative audi-

of laughter and' thunderous ap-.
plause. Encores were numerous on
the vocal and instrumental nunm-
'bers., and, apparently much latent
talent has lain undiscovered in

years.
After a preliminary minstre-L

final campaign oyer the top in.a manner fit-
ting to the public-spirited and patriotic citi-
zens of Port St. Joe and Gulf county.
The Victory Loan should have the undi-
vided attenition.and support of all bur citizens.
It does not, matter if we are running ahead
of the quota or behind. For us there can be
no limit. 6r point at which- we can say: "Well,
that's that." We must continue to drive on
until the final day with no thought of the
money paid in for Victory. Bonds.
Let us set for ourselves the task that was
assigned to our boys. They kept on. Accom-
plishment of one objective only leads to an-
other, and harder, objective. They continued
on and on until the final victory. This we'
must do in the Victory Loan. There is no al-
ternative: .
Then, too, the Victory Loan is needed to.
provide education, retraining. and,. rehabilita-
tion of our wounded now. There is a more
personal side, of course.,The Victory Bonds,
Series E, at maturity, for example, pay then
owners back $4 for every $3 invested.
So put aside those plans to purchase un-
essentials. Instead buy Victory Bonds. They
are essentials-essentials for our wounded
and for our own futures.

HUNTERS PIQUE LANDLORDS
There seems to be an unusual hostility de-
veloping between the hunters and the farm-
ers. Ppsting is becoming increasingly com-
mon, and farmers are findisg much fault with
the sportsmanship of the so-called sportsmen
who throng the fields during the hunting
season.
Many farmers are heard to complain about
the impudende and recklessness of hunters
who invade fenced land and proceed to scat-
ter shot recklessly about. This glaring disre-
gard of the right of property is quite inexcus-
able. The .fields belong to the owner and
should be secure from molestation. The birds,
too, in a sense belong to the owner or tiller

of the land, since he harbored and fed them
and feels that he has a prior right to them.
Real sportsmen will ask permission to go into
fenced fields for game, and will respect the
privacy of the home and farmstead;
Scattering of fire is a sore spot with many
farmers and foresters. It is not too much to
expect that hunters shall observe the areas
hunted over Anld keep them under view until
it is sure that there is no fire left.
But the most grievous feature of the prob-
lem is the matter of shells. Imagine the indig-
nation of a farmer who went to town last
summer to get shells to shoot hawks and
other pests, but found none. Then as the hunt-
ing' season nears he goes to get a few shells
to shoot some of his own birds for Thanks-
giving dinner and finds "no shells." But lo,
when the hunting season opens his fields are
overrun with hunters with shells to burn.
How do they get them? The obvious ex-
planation is that dealers have favored then
friends-naturally town people for the most
part. Or a set of "semi-loafers" who frequent
the streets see the shells first and raid the
supply, so that the farmer again finds them,
"fresh out."
The result is a growing tendency to post
land against hunters. If these gentlemen find
themselves hampered in their sport by posted
notices, it would be well for them to look for
the cause near home. In some communities
sportsmen are organized, i ot to. combine
against the landowner and farmer but to corr-
trol their own members and keep them;, and
the whole field of sports, within the bounds, or
fair play to all.-Holfhes County Advertis.er.

ON THE FENCE
Among the mildly' offensive, if harmless,
species of human life are those who aire conf
tinually twixtt will and will not.", They .are
in an intellectual state that Lowell. once de-
scribed as "kin o' hangin' ioun' an' setting' oni
a fence." This intellectual: fuzziness grows
greatly in the period iimmediatclv before an
election; Life then is a. ceaseless process oi
matching however with on-the-other-hands.
Particularly adept practitioners can carry
water on both shoulders without spilling a
drop.
But when the cat has jumped and the win-
ning candidates emerge, there is an electrify-
ing change. Judicial detachment becomes
glee. Ponderous counterbalancing statements
are abandoned as the fence-sitters let it be
known that their heart was with the success-
ful candidate all the time.
These Monday morning cheer leaders never
completely lose their heads, however. Comes
another decision and the fence is still handy.
There they sit until the issue is decided. There
is no particular harm in these fence-sitters,
except in their noisier moments, when they
climb on the band wagon that others have
started rolling.-Hartford Courant.

Some folks might be skeptical,
but I've got 2 dictionaries. Diction-
aries show you whut the country

etc. "Okay," sez Henry, "whut era
is this?" "A good question," I sez,
"I got in mind our Vitamin Era.
We've got a lot of other eras now
too, but these is unusual times-
sort of a 'fool-the-public' era. But
back to them vitamins,

mention vitamins. Folks in 1920
were a kinda uncouth type got

should bin livin' on pills versub

."But my new dictionary, look at
it." "Alright," says Henry, "whut
does a vitamin look like 'Well,"

Carrabelle Pipeline
Ordered Salvaged

Sale by the government of the
199-mile emergency oil pipeline
from Carrabelle to Jacksonville for
"such salvage value as it may
have" has been recommended by
a special committee of the petrol-
eum industry.
Constructed f ro m secondhand
materials at a cost of $4,064,661
during the war as a substitute for
tankers taken off the Gulf-Atlantic
coast route, the eight-inch pipeline
has a capacity of 30,000 barrels
per days.
"Under the most favorable con-
ditions there would only be a po-
tential load of. about 1000 barrels
a day for the system," said a re-
port issued by the committee on
postwar disposal of pipelines, re-
fineries' and tankers.

FOR THE ASTTIE AMERICA __ 1e/1


Well, it's over...
We came through the greatest danger in our history, to our greatest victory.
The price of that victory-in blood and in money-was high.
We can thank God that the price in blood is paid in full. There will be no
more deaths in battle, no more new casualties.
But the price in money is still not quite paid!
Your money is still needed by the men who helped to pay in blood. Hospitali-
zation for the wounded, the disabled. Artificial limbs for. the men who have given
their real ones. And help for the wives and orphans of the men who gave every-
thing.
Your money is still needed for the education and training of our vet-
erans-to help them find a real place in the America they saved for all of us.




The VICTORY


Just as the money you lent (at interest) in the seven American War Loans
helped pave the way for victory, the money you lend now in the Victory Loan will
help secure the fruits of that victory.
Not only for our veterans and casualties-but for you. For these Bonds are
still the world's safest investment. They are still the way to insure yourself the
sec uity and peace of mind that come from safe, substantial savings!
MThis is the last time you will be asked to buy extra bonds!* It's a great
opportunity to help yourself while saying "Thanks!" in a very important way to
the men who made our victory possible!
*Following the Victory Loan, the sale of E, F, and G U. S.
Savings Bonds will continue through regular author-
ized agencies and through the Payroll Savings Plan.

One of the brightest facts of the
war effort is that many billions of
dollars have been saved and are now
in pjdssession of the people. EigIty-""
five million Americans have bought
War Bonds and are hanging on to
them and have seventy-five million
bank accounts, too.


These savings can mean much to
the future welfare of our country
and ourselves. They will permit us
to spend more of our current in-
come once goods become plentiful
again. The savings themselves can
be used to tide us over emergencies
and for such things as new homes.
Thus the savings of the war years
and the months immediately ahead
can contribute to demand for goods,
busy factories and jobs later on.
Save now while goods are scarce and
the threat of rising prices continues.
Buy Victory Bonds.
