GYM. CLASSES
GROWING FAST
YOUNG MEN REALIZING THE
NEED OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION
AND RECREATION.

The gymnasium classes are steadily
growing larger due to the fact that
the boys and young men realize the
need of physical education and recrea-
tien.
Many of the naval officers from the
war vessels are taking the physical
work and enjoy il immensely.
During the past week the mothers
and fathers have been in the gym"
watching their sons at work In the
pursuit Of strong. healthfGl bodies.
The basketball league, which plays
two games every wednesday, II be-
coming very close and exciting.
There have been three events run of
in the group athletics of the Junior
class. the running broad Jump, stand
ing broad Jump. and running high
jump. The points gathered by each
team are as follows: Rubes, Capt. ID.
Mitchell. 1888; Lemons, Capt w.
Roege, SOS: Boobs, Capt. J. Barrow,
SIS. The individual records for 1913
in the junior class are:
Running broad jump-Lou1s Rose

Standing broad Jump-Dana Mitch

Running high Jump-Louis Rosenau,

South the Coming
Cattle Section.

An instructive bulletin has been sent
out by the department of agriculture
at washington on the question of
southern cattle raising. This authority
states that southeast of the Missis-
sippi river must furnish the beef sup
ply of the future, because here cattle
can be raised in more abundance, and
at less expense than in any other sec
tion Of the country.
Our winters are short and not Sc
we're, while the winters In the north
and northwest are such that cattle
cannot stand their rigors unless well
housed and fed, which entails a large
expense. In our favored section there
Is an abundance of good water and
forage.
An told there are 800 kinds OF grasses
that grow indigenous and without Gull
aviation. any of which are good for
food. Besides this we can raise at
least two crops, and in the case of
alfalfa as many as f1ve or six crops a
year, and by a system of silos this food
can be stored and kept fresh and nu-
triticus. to be fed to stock throughout
the winter months.
This section OF the country Will not
be put to more than a nominal expense
for shelter during the insalubrious sea-
SONS. 1t never gets so cold that cattle
cannot protect themselves with the or
binary shelter afforded by the forests
and underground, unless in rare in
stances.
Besides this there are classes of
meats that cannot be found anywhere
else in the world, such as the Virginia
ard Tennessee home cured hams, that
have no rivals anywhere
IL the people OF the south would
realize just what the possibilities OF
their section are. and go forward
earnestly in an effort to develop them,
they would be richer than the people
of any other part of the globe. because
they can raise what all the globe must
have. and which no other section can
produce.
The general government is doing a
splendid work in educating public
sentiment, and this is supplemented by
the agricultural departments OF the
various states. It is slow work. be-
cause it takes time to get people out
Of their accustomed ruts. but already
most encouraging progress has been
made

Bridges Across
the Escarnbia River.

This morning at 30 o'clock the COM
niasioners or Santa Rosa and Escam-
bia counties will meet at the circuit
court house In Pensacola TO discuss the
subject or bridge facilities across the
Eecambia river.
This matter was up some two PEARS
ago and a similar meeting was held,
resulting in surveys and estimates
being made for bridges at several diff
aerent places A special tar district
election was also held in Santa Rosa
county for a bridge at Ferry Pass. but
the proposition was defeated by q small
majority.
Now, however, the Santa Rosa CONF
mlssioners believe public sentiment in
their county will support q plan to
build several bridges that are now
urgently needed in various parts Of
the county and the proposition will be
put UP in different form for approval
or rejection by the people.
Both counties need at least two
bridges across the Escambia river.
Neither can develop as 1t should with
ont the bridges. No better road build
Ding investment can be made by either
than to agree to build these bridges.
Escambia county stood ready two
years ago to do her part OF the work
and we have no doubt that the present
Escambia commissioners are also in
favor Of it.
The Journal would suggest that
every citizen of Escambia county who
is interested and can spare the time
be present at the meeting today and
give the commissioners the benefit of
his opinion and advice.

war whose feeble, tottering steps show
that the old boys are fast Fastening
to the eternal camping ground
Many OF them are poor and often,
1t is to be feared. in very needy CIR
cumstances. With broken health and
incapacity to labor the small pension
allowed them by the state is hardly
sufficient to keep soul and body to-
gether. IT has been ruImored that they
are often sent to the poor house in
sickness or in want.
Surely a generous public should
never allow these old heroes to suffer.
No Drawer men ever faced a cannon's
mouth than these southern soldiers,
and every Yankee soldier acknowledges
their valor.
1t Is an honor to have them in your
midst. It il no longer a question of
the right or the wrong of the cause
for which they fought. They were
honest, and for all that was dear to
them freely offered their lives. Such
men are heroes. Greater love hath no
man than this that he lay down his
life for another"

Superintendent Edwards said that

JOINT MEETING
COUNTYBOAROS
CALLED TODAY
SANTA ROSA AND EscAMRIA
COMMISSIONERS WILL GET TO-
GETHER ON QUESTION OF
BUILDING ONE OR MORE
BRIDGES.

Boards of county commissioners
from Escambia and Santa Rosa coun-
ties are to get together this morning
at 10 o'clock on the question of bridg-
ing the Escambia river, and from what
has been learned, it is possible that
an arrangement satisfactory to both
boards will be entered into, and in
the not distant future, the river will
be bridged on plan which each of
the boards will support.
This will be the first time that such
a project has been brought up of1-
cially before the present Escambia
county board. but in the past the
question has been considered, and the
late board arrived at the point of
really settling uponS two locations
which were agreeable to al concerned.
This plan contemplated the building
of bridge at McDavid, and also at
Ferry Pass. Really it was thought adj
visable to build a bridge at Ferry Pass.
and a draw at McDavid, and things
were working along smoothly to the
successful accomplishm tent of this pur-
pose when the old board was voted
to private life. The joint meeting
this morning will take up the ques-
concerned, as If there had never been
previous consideration of the ques-
tion-that is, the steps taken by the
former board were not to the extent

the Escambia county board is quite
free to act as IT deems best.
Chairman Peter Tomasello and the
other members of the Santa Rosa
board are expected to reach the city
at 9:45 o'clock this forenoon, and the
meeting will take place at II o'clock,
an hour quite convenient to all. It is
possible that some plan viii be put
forth at the meeting which will re-
suit in the final connection of the
roadways of the two counties with a |
bridge link. The local commission i
ers have been served with notices for

FIRST carac Of Corn.

The first cargo OF corn to be imported
through the port Of Pensacola is ex-

from the Argentine Republic. This is
