Plans for a house to hold thirty ca

committee of three was appointed to
act as a building committee, and took
the matter in hand and will report to-

and ways and means for raising this
money will be decided upon. The
meeting will be held st the bathing

Arrangements are being made to
light up the park at night. A num-
Der Of gas lights will be placed in the
park and this will add greatly to the
pleasure of the picnics held at the
park at night, the time that most
people have to take for our recreation.
Picnicers will also be glad to know
that neat table has been built under
the band stand. Other tables will
soon be placed in various places in the
park. Many Sunday schools and other
organizations are planning to hold
their picnics there this summer.
Bayview a real picnic place for the

The attendance at the park is in
creasing and as there is no limit to
the natural facilities for recreation,
Bayview will no doubt be used more
during the coming warm summer days
than ever before.

BEFORE REPUBLICAN NATION
AL CONVENTION IN CONTEST
FOR SEATS.

Three prominent Republicans left
Pensacola yesterday for Chicago to
appear before the Republican national
committee. which is to begin hearings
in the contests over seats in the ma
tional convention.
The first to leave was United States
Collector of Customs Northup. They
took their departure at noon and will
reach Chicago today. Needless to say
they represent the regulars" or Taft
group Of Republicans. Last night Geo.
P. Wentworth left the city. He is of
the Roosevelt faction, and will contest
the seats OF the delegates from the
Third district. He will claim that the
county convention was irregular in
many ways and that the congressional
convention, which was held afterwards
was equally irregular, and will have
statements from Republicans to this
4 effect.
Messrs. McGourip and Northup will
tell the national committee that the
| conventions were all regular and the
same as conducted In Florida In pas'
years.
The Florida contest will probably be
/ called up by the committee on Friday
| or Saturday, and inasmuch as there
will be . contest on every delegate
from this state 1t is very probable tina

FARMERS OF SCOTT IN
TOWNSHIP LEAGUES

Scott county farmers are taking ad-
vanced ground in agricultural better
ment. Some time ago the Scott Coun-
ty Farm Improvement league was
formed and G. R. Bliss employed as
an expert to give advice to members
on all problems dealing with farm
economy Now subsidiary township
organizations are being formed, Lin
coin township being the first to get
into line. Twenty-Five members were
enrolled and president, vice president
and secrtary chosn. 1t was decided
that these officers, together with the
directors of the schools, should con-
stitute an advisory council.
The membership of the new club
is open to any farmer or farmers
wife. sons or daughters of Lincoln
township, upon payment of 81 annual
dues, one-fourth of which is TO remain
in the local treasury and three-fourths
of which will be turned into the main,
tenance fund of the Scott county
league.
The organization of these township
clubs will permit more effective work
as we'll as better organization among
the farmers of the county. 1t is pre-
dicted by the county expert that this
will result in an annual increase Of
over half million dollars in crops
