ter Food at Luncheon.
Cleveland, o., Nov 4.-Over 200 boys
and girls Of the West Side high school
have gone on strike, demanding single
sessions and better lunches. The strik-
ers, who come from the upper classes,
walked out in body and held mass
meeting on the public square. 1t was
decided that none should return to
school until single sessions were re-
stored and better lunches provided.
The pupils say they were compelled
to wait for an hour and half for
lunch because of poor service. They
declare the lunch they received was
poor and high priced. The butter, they
say, was rancid.
There is discomfort in all Of the
schools of the city over the matter,
and the strike promises to become
general unless conditions are reme-

Tri-County Fair
To Be Permanent.

Contrary 20 the expectations of
some citizens, who thought and like
wise said that the Tri-County Fair
would be doing well il it should
come out even" the first year, the
managers of the fair are able to make
the announcement, particularly graft
flying to them as well as very hopeful
VINO furnished the funds to start the
fair machinery, that the bills are all
paid and that there is, beside, a tidy
little nestegg of $1,000 laid away in
the treasurer's stocking to launch the
fair of 1910.
In every community and IL eonnsc-
ton with every project that is started
for the upbuilding of a city or a
county, there are always Doubling
Thomases to cast their cold water on
the plans of optimistic )men willing to
give their time and spend their money
for a scheme that promises to aid IN
the broadening of local opportunities.
There were, it must be confessed,
oO1u6 mGA WHO DCllGNOQ ING dRT1Cul-
turaI exhibit planned for Escambia
and Santa Rosa and Baldwin counties
could not be carried out without none
tary loss, at least the first year.
Their timid hearts need no longer
worry about the money. The bills are
paid and the treasurer has $1,000 in
real currency.
We are glad that the Tri-County
Fair is to be definitely organized as
the West Florida Interstate Fair and
that the men who made the initial
Fair a success in 1909 are to handle
the Fair in 1910. In organization is
strength and in the retention OF
aggressive and competent officials,
who have made good even when the
undertaking was purely experimental,
there is wisdom. We had a remark
able Fair in 1909, but we shall have
larger and more varied Fair in 1910.
And Escambia and Santa Rosa and
Baldwin will all be the gamers by
both of them.

condition,

South Of the place where the hay
was stored was a branch house of the
National Packing Company. and this
was thought to have suffered some
damage from both smoke and water
The dividing walls were thin and not
cOmpactly built, and at one time
smoke was issuing from every f1ue in
the several warehouses in the one
great building.
While the alarm was turned in
shortly after 9 o'clock. it was almost
daylight before the fiTemen left the
scene, and some of them will remain
On duty until every sign of danger has
been passed. Some of them will be
there after daylight. About one hun
dred bales of hay were taken from the
building and dumped into the streets.
FiTemen had a hard time in reach
ing the scene. They could travel
through Romano or IntendenCia street,
and on Tarragona street, as usual fol-
lowing a rain, it was muddy and
almost covered with pools Of water
A car loaded with stone for the pave
ment companies stood directly in front
of the building and this greatly inter
fered with the work of transferring and
running leads of hose.
