| from elementary schools controlled by

way organizations under the ministry
of ways and communications. The
composition of all these boy troops IL
democratic, being mainly composed of
peasant boys. and town boys OF the
humber classes. But among them flg-
ure small companies of the elite, such
as so boys from Moscow dressed In the
picturesque green kaftans of Peter the
Greats time, each one OF whom could
trace his ancestry to Peters famous
corps of playmates.
Mars Field in st. Petersburg pre-
scented an unwonted picture on the day
Of the review. No two Of the eighty
four companies had the same uniform.
The regimental boys wore their regi-
mental dress, others exhibited the
greatest variety of uniform, presenting
a dazzling checker-board Of color un-
der the bright July sun; grey, black
green, crimson, blue and yellow, capped
by the glistening helmets OF the boys
fire brigade.
The emperor and several Of the
grand dukes, including Michael Alex
androvich, formerly heir-presumptive
to the throne. with brilliant suite OF
generals, all on horseback, rode down
the four long lines Of troops, the en-
peror getting the regular salute from
each company, replying to 1t, and get
ting in response an enthusiastic re-
Spouse of youthful hurrahs.
The parade ended with q march-paSt
occupying one hour. First in the line
was the Chernigon play troop attached
to the Chernigon Hussars stationed at
Orel. 1t boasts the best equipment and
nattiest uniforms, all furnished at the
expense of Grand Duke Michael Alex
androvich, whose residence is with the
regiment at Orel The boys there
form an integral part Of the regiment,
drill every day in the year, and camp
with the regiment during the summer
months, getting up at an early hour
each day, and going through part or
the daily routine, as well as taking
part in the parades and other public
appearances of the regiment.
A thrilling sight were the faces of
the youngsters as they marched past
their emperor with eyes keen on car
rying away a good picture of him, and
a note of contagious enthusiasm was
carried to the thousands of spectators
in their parting salute: I'VE are eager
to excel, Your Imperial Majesty"
which they responded in unison, in an
swer to the emperor's invartable word
of commentator.
Some Of the extreme conservatives,
who are always superapprehensive OF
the lurking dangers of revolution, have
expressed disapproval Of the boy
scouts as a possible nursery of soldiers
of the revolution in Russia. They fear
that the initial general interest in these
bodies will gradually subside. and that
the enemies of the government will
then gain control of the organization,
or of many Of the young men who
graduate from them. The government
does not share these approximations.

make . beneficial hit If they would
require exhibitors In prize contests to
write the story Of their methods OF
cultivation: these stories to be given
| out for publication for the benefit OF
other farmers. It IL q good thing TO
award prizes for the best farm and
garden products. whether Of the ami
NAL or vegetable Kingdom; but very
limited good Is done unless others are
informed as to the methods used by
the prize winners.
Fine specimens Of produce are
good to look upon and they attract
the attention OF the visitors from the
other sections of the country who may
happen to see them, but II The Jour
nal understands the purpose for which
the fair is held. 1t is not alone to SCI
cure for the counties Of southern Ala
bama and West Florida new settlers
but It gives the farmers and stock
raisers. the poultrymen and the nur-
seryrnen an opportunity to mingle to-
gether and swap opinions and ideas
as to the best way to improve the
various crops or breeds Of stock.
Such being the case the suggestion
Of the Register is good one. and the
prize winners VIII no doubt take a
pride in writing articles telling how
they have obtained success In their
respective lines.
The Journal WIN gladly publish the
articles from the prize swimmers and
the articles win have a two-fold effect
First, the farmers of the counties en-
braced In the fair district, even If they
fail TO attend the fair. will have the
benefit Of the experience Of the sue
cessful farmer and may profit thereby.
and second. the prospective settlers
may read the accounts OF what may
be grown upon an acre Of Florida
ground and viii have some idea Of the
way TO cultivate the best crops before
coming here.
True stories Of what may be done
by farmers of this section Of the
southland viii make a good impress
sion upon the prospective homeseeker.
and II the management Of the Inter
state Fair viii request that the prize
winners at the fair write such articles

pose.

For some time, West Florida has
been agitated about a proposed base
ball game between the Journal team,
champions of Pensacola, and a team
composed of editors of the weekly
newspapers of that section. The Jour-
nal issued the challenge; 1t was duly
accepted and the game took place a
few days ago. From what meagre re-
ports we receive from the battlefield,
the ''rubes" romped all over the city
fellows and defeated them, officially,
six to FIVE. The Journal was deeply
chagrined, but proved game to the
last and rendered the victors a ban
quet, at which that versatile genius,
Major Mack, who does the funny
work on the Mayes paper, presided as
POSTMASTER. The next morning s
Journal was rather shy on editorial
and local matter, but contained full
account of the memorable contest. 1t
is now in order for the Evening News
to challenge the 'Rube" team and, If
IL can defeat them 1t will have sweet
revenge on the Journal
We imagine the "Rube" team was a
sassy" looking bunch, from the de-
scription Of their costumes, as given
by the Journal, as follows:
The lineup of the Rubes was as
follows: B. Langston, Chipley Yer
dict, standing collar, red necktie form
fitting, double-vented coat and Logging
third base; Laurie Thompson, Milton
Gazette, regulation baseball uniform,
cross-matched stockings, royal purple
sweater, pitcher; Handsome Harry
Hall, DeFuniak Springs Herald, indigo
shirt, white small clothes, red ban
danna, second base; r. w. Storrs, De-
Funiak Springs Breeze. red bandanna,
green leggings and some other things,
centerfield; Jess Davis, Santa Rosa
Star, ex-regle, left field; Ed. Will
iiams. Holmes County Advertiser, all
RUDE costume; W. Carpenter, Cotton
dale News, (the baby paper of West
Florida), Dungaree trousers, buck
shirt, cotton jewelry, right field; Wal
ter Davis, Mariana Times Courier,
union-made overalls, hickory shirt,
white shoes, no socks, catcher; Henry
Hates, LAUREL Hill News, a whole I'M
form, short-stop Substitutes, Jim

we do not think there is any lack
Of respect or love for the good women
