FARMERS ARE
SETTLING ON
farm LANDS
NEW coMERs ARE CLEANING UP
LANDS AND. WORK WILL BEGIN
ON vWENTY-slx FARMS THIS
WEEK.

It looks like business now out on
The property Of the Pensacola Farm
Lands Company. Three farmers have
already moved on to the property and
started clearing up their farms, and
work will be begun on twepty-s.x
farms next week by the purchasers
and will be pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible SO as to get In &
crop for next season. The farmers
who have already moved to the prop
erty are Mr.. II. c. Johnson, Mr.. Henry
Brown and Mr.. Joe Johnson.
There are three more families who
will move on to the property just as
soon as houses ,can be CONSTRUCTED
f5r them and others still coming IF y
Eufaula, Troy and Union Springs, A'a.
bama. and from Columbia, Magnolia
Jackson and Gulfport and other
points through Mississippi.
Manager Scott, Of the Farm Lands
Company. believes that 1t will be pos.
sible TO have fifty families on the land
before, February /, II the houses can
be gotten up for them in that time.
Three families from Eufaula came
into the city this week, and five or
six families more are to follow next
week. Those who came were b. r.
Allen and family, j. r. Pilgrim and
family and z. E. McGehee and fam
fly, eleven persons in all. All express
themselves as highly pleased with the
property and with Pensacola and their
letters to their friends will unGoubt.
edly bring great many more to this
property.
Speaking of the general outlook,
Manager Scott said yesterday: II
feel very much encouraged at the way
the farm lands project is being re-
ceived by the people generally. or
course we are getting practically no
assistance from people OF Pensacola.
ON this we are considerably disap-
pointed. as we bad felt that such a
proposition so wide reaching In bench.
cent results as IL is bound to De
should be more keenly appreciated
ard a helplns hand should be extend
ed ~ the people who will most large
~ benefit BY settling up and putting
to work all these lands.
Tie great difficulty Is, and appar
emily always has been, reluctance to
extend the glad hand, as Miss Burn
ham SO aptly put II, 10 any new en-
terprise family or individual, and a
still greater reluctance to extend any
financial assistance or support to any
proposition. no matter how creditabie
IL may be. Pensacola should be the
largest city in Florida. 1t can be
made so with the proper effort. Tam
pa is today the leading city OF the
state Of Florida. Tampa has no such
haroor as Pensacola. The lands do
not lie as we'll and are not naturally
as fertile as the lands in Escambia
county, yet Tampa has grown IN
twenty years from a village OF about
500 people to a city of about $4,000
They have only been able To bring
about this marvellous growth by an
open-handed. liberal, enterprtsing pub
lie spirit. They may have their little
differences socially and politically
but they all get together for Tampa
and work together shoulder TO shoul.

"FATHER" HENDERSON.
Leland J. Henderson, the secretary,

for the interest in Florida inland wa
terways Is due to him. Mr.. Hender-
son introduced a resolution before the
Apalachicola Chamber OF Commerce
calling for the organization Of an in
land waterway association. Hence he
is called its father"
MIR. Henderson, with a great many
other public and distinguished men Of
the state, have been untiring In their
efforts to develop the inland water
way movement in the state and to
draw national attention to the needs
of such improvements.
HOURS OF CONVENTION.
The convention will convene prompt
ly at 9 o'clock in the morning in the

terway improvements and others are

for the afternoon session at 2 O'Clock
and again at 100 O'Clock for the even
ing session. The same hours will ap

WAR OFFICE STOPS
THE "ODE TO PEACE


London.-The British war office
has made itself unpopular by inter
fering with the management Of the
Royal Navy and Military tournament
This popular annual event had been
arranged to include as its special fea-
ture a military display entitled "The
Millennium" in which 400 Tommy
Atkinsenses" dressed as soldiers of all
nations were to appear, perform evo-
lutions and finally sing an lode to
Peace" accompanied by guard s
band.
This display had been extensively
advertised for weeks and the arrange
ments were practically complete when
the war office came down and for
bade the singing of the lode to
Peace This action Immediately fol-
lowed the publication of letter crit
icising the proposed performance as
incongruous and absurd Still the
tournament management were put to
considerable inconvenience. and the
organizing secretary, Colonel Ricardo,
Immediately resigned, after working
hard in connection with the tourna-
ment for many years.
In his statement, Colonel Ricardo
points out that the war office has
never done anything for the tourna-
ment, which is held for the benefit
of various service charities beyond
giving its sanction to the appearance
of troops.
Three years ago the department in
terfered to stop the performance of
an Indian mutiny sham battle because
of the critical state of native unrest
in India at the time.

COUNTESS ASPIRES
TO BE REAL AVIATOR

London.-Aeroplane sheds are max
ing their appearance on the grounds
OF many of the largest estates in Eng
land, and number of noted men
and women too-are experimenting
with both British and continental ma
chimes.
Among the latest enthusiasts are
the Earl and Countess Fitzwilliam.
who have installed a Bleriot mono
plane on their beautiful estate, Went
worth -Woodhouse, in Yorkshire. The
Countess is numbered among those
who aspire to become practical pilots
of the air. and not only has been a
close student at all the demonstra-
tions of the aeroplane, but has essay
ed short flights herself.
Both the Earl and the Countess are
adventurous spirits and nothing can
daunt them when new experience is
promised, The Earl, although still
under forty, is a sportsman, traveller,
mining engineer, big game hunter,
cyclst, polo players, soldier and polf-
tician. His most famous exploit was
the fitting up of the expedition five
or six years ago to find the Cocos
island treasure. His expedition got
into battle with another band of
treasure< hunters. and the Earl's par
ty was beaten off, the Earl and two
of his men being injured.
The Earl is very wealthy, his for
tune being ample to allow him to in
dulge in any fad he may fancy. His
Yorkshire home is one of the show
places of the country and is filled with
works of art.
The Countess, who was a daughter
OF the Marquis of Zetland, is petite
and pretty. She always has been fond :.
of hunting, riding and cycling, and
several years ago she created quite a
furor in society by her skirt dancing.
AT one house party she danced a "pas
seuP' dressed in emerald green chiffon
and gold shoes, and blazing with dia-
monds.

FAsTS FOR 42-DAY PERIOD.
English Artist Has Drastic Cure for
Hearty Appetite,

Hearty Appetite.
London.-The recent fasting ex-
pertinent of Mr.. Upton Sinclair, which
created widespread interest, has been
eclipsed in value and in length of
time by Mr., Charles Spencer, an ar
tist of Kent.
Mr.. Spencer suffered from an alb
normal appetite; no meal seemed to
satisfy him. At length he began a
diligent study of the theory of fasting
as a cure; then he practiced it for
forty-two days.
In speaking of his experience Mr.
Spencer said:
"On the first day the pangs of hun
ger were keen enough; so were they
on the second day. On the third day
there seemed little relief; and from
that day onward 1 experienced no
hunger whatever.
II continued my work as an artist,
doing some light gardening and walk
ing as exercises. At the end of the
forty-second day hunger began to re-
assert itself. That is the stage where
many fasters' make a mistake. They
determine to fast for a certain num-
Der of days. and even if the craving
for food returns after certain peri
cd they continue to fast.
when l felt the hunger returning
immediately drank some fruit juice,
and continued to live on this for two
days. on Thursday night l had my
first square meal. 1t is a grave error
for anyone to fast who has not a thor
ough scientific knowledge of the sub
ject.
This experience of mine" he con-
cluded, ''is only the beginning of more
on wider scale, and my wife is to
join me as WE'LL"
