LOCAL CLUB OF
MOTORCYCLISTS
PENSACOLA MOTORCYCLE RIDERS
MET WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
ORGANIZED cLUB-To BE AT.
FILIATED WITH FEDERATION
OF MoToRCYcLISTS

The Pensacola Motorcycle Club,
twenty strong, was organized Wednes-
day night when a meeting of the mo-
torcycle riders Of the city met in Hin
mans shop.
A rapid increase in the number of
riders of the two-wheeled motor We
hicles has occurred within the past few
months and the riders decided to or
ganize themselves into a club and to
affiliate as a body with the Federation
of American Motorcyclists, the ma
tional organization.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: President, Dudley
G. Barrow; vice president, Philip NJ
Y0nge; secretary treasurer, L. W.
Wells; captain, E. c. Hinman. The
officers to constitute the board Of d.
rectors.
1t is expected that the club will
make regular club runs" about twice
a month, the trips varying in length
from so TO $50 miles. Some of the
roads in West Florida and Southern
Alabama are very good and the club
members get a great deal of pleasure
from their rides. Some of the riders
also anticipate joining in the annual F.
A. NJ. tour next summer.

aiming rats from the suburbs OF the
city, while none can be secured from
the waterfront. Since If bubonic
plague is to be found in any rats in
Pensacola, it must necessarily have
been brought to this city from some
other seaport, or other place, it neces-
sarily follows that if any rats in the
city are infected, they will probably
be found on the waterfront.
Although the physicians and city
officials, as we'll as the newspapers.
have urged that special efforts be
made to exterminate the rats around
the city wharves and along the water
front, and, despite the reward that
has been offered for the rats delivered
to the state meteorological laboratory
dead or alive, so far very little in
terest has been aroused in this sec
ton and very few rats have been ex-
amined from that part OF the city.

The Love of Money
And It's Victims.

If money is not made ones slave, it
becomes ones master. If it is not
used as stepping stone to help one
upward in the world, it acts as a
burden crushing one downward.
With more than $40, 900 in cash hid
den under her carpets and in her
cushions, a New York woman has
died Of starvation
In loving her money better than her
life she has lost bothg
It is easy to. find epithets Of con-
tempt and obloquy to heap upon this
foolish woman, who permitted the
basest of passions to poison her bet
ter nature.
The world very keenly despises the
mlser whose love of money leads to
starvation or to seclusion from the
rest of mankind.
But this is not the only miserliness
that really is detestable and ought to
be generally recognized and abhorred.
There are misers-lots of them
whose love of money has killed all that
is best in their souls, but who still
SUanQ among US as PROMINENT ana re-
spectacle figures.
More still whose love of money has
dulled their human sympathies and
narrowed down their minds and their
lives to their immediate environment,
and to whom much that is highest and
sweetest in life is dead.
The miserliness that leads to actual
starvation is not the kind which does
most damage in this world. The far
more common kind, which so often
hides it's hideous seIfshness under the
pleasant name Of ''frugaltty," darkens
and deadens lives unnumbered.
The ideals blasted, the opportuni-
ties lost, the joys atrophied, in the
lives of the millions, every day by the
love of money-who can count them?
Let us not hurl all our epithets upon
the rich woman who has starved her
self to death. Let US each keep some
for ourselves.
