War on Mosquito Made
the Canal Possible.

The announced opening of the Pan
anna Canal on August Is. brings to
mind the fact that the great Inter-
oceanic waterway was made possible
only through the advance of science
in connection with study of the death
dealing mosquito. Had it not been for
the inroads of disease-malaria and
yellow fever-the French might have
completed the big ditch in course of
time; the principal reason of aban-
donment of the project was the fact
that death stalked with the workers

But building the railroad across the

KINGS AND EXPORTERS
KEEP OUT OF DANGER
Kissimmee Valley Gazette. 4

A king placed on the throne by the
Hapsburg dynasty was assassinated
recently by a rough neck"
This greatly displeased the Haps-
burgs and their parasite lackeys, who
as direct agents OF God" govern the
with its millions of exploited pro-
ducers.
This dynasty demanded that Servia
take steps to punish those SerVians in

nation of one of the royal class-the
via could not do this inside OF TWEEN
ty-four hours. The result is that the
Hapsburg dynasty (the tremendous
machine which profits by the en-
pire's existence) who had placed the
simple minded duke on the Servian
throne decided to teach the rough
necks" lesson.
The relation between the European
kings and their subject class. as far
a the kings are concerned, is best
expressed in the following words:
You are good enough to do all use
full work, to create all wealth. to sup
port us in idleness and luxury. but be

plays the "patriotism' racket and the
workers are marched off like SO many

the Hapsburg dynasty in its ruling
and exploiting position.

Brandon. !

Brandon, Manitoba, Aug 5, 1914.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
1t occurred to me that the readers
of The Journal, and students of the
Pensacola High School in particular,
might be interested in a few lines
from this part during vacation, and
especially since those Of the latter
class have already enjoyed several
weeks out of school.
To one accustomed to the prairie, 1t
seems very commonplace and embrace
ing nothing to speak of to strangers
in a distant part; but to one who has
enjoyed a variety of types Of coun-
try and scenery. the prairie presents
many impressive features.
Aside from the almost total absence
of forests, there are here and there
other evidences which go to show that

The first thing that attracts the at

miles in any direction. Distance here
fancy the hills he sees are perhaps
ten miles away, but an old inhabitant
will inform him they are forty miles

across the prairie at the setting sun,
he sees it drifting away to the north

Unequal Pay
For Unequal Work.

Wide variation in the pay for the

most striking situations revealed by
the investigation of teachers salaries

lie elementary school-teachers may
receive $2,4oo q year. as some do in
New York City. or $45 q year. as in
certain rural communities. Even in
cities Of the same class there are
considerable differences in the sal
aries paid teachers. On the admins
trative side there are county superin-
tendents with pay ranging from $115
to $4,000 per annum. and college pres
idents receiving salaries all the way
from 5000 to s12,40o.
In city school systems salaries have
increased steadily in recent years,

is from $4,000 to $4,000. In the same
group of cities high school principals
average $3.565 and elementary teach

neering. Law claims the highest paid
professorshfp in any subject, with one
salary of $780, but there are pro-
fessors Of physics, geology, and Latin
who receive $1,000. 1t is significant,
however, that on the basis OF the
figures reported most college teaching,

ENGLISH POLO TEAM
HAVE SNAPPY PRACTICE
Capt. Cheape's Presence in Lineup
Serves to Add Life to
Teams Play.

New York. June n-Considerable life
was infused into the final practice of the
English polo team on Phipps Field at
Westbury today by the appearance Of
Leslie st. Clair Chespe on the lineup.
The AmeriH IN onlookers were almost as
glad as, the English delegation present to
see the Dig dragon guard, and in the
saddle again, and doing his hitting from
his official position at No. 2.
Maj. Barrett scored the first goal for the
blues" and it was the result of a long
dribble of more than half the length of the
field. The major gave a great display Of
wrist power-the ability of being able to
change his strokes quickly from the of
to the near side. Whether or not he
will be able to do the thing successfully
against such hard riders as Milburn and
Larry Waterbury will not be known till
afternoon. The report at Phipps
Fiefd today was that number of the
English ponies have gone lame. and that
a number were showing tenderness or
hoof, two things that were decided handi-
caps Mai. Barrett regretted that his
famous ponies Paddy and the Countess
were on the limping list.
