GRANADA PARK
IMP PROVEMENTS
NEW LIGHTING SYSTEM HAS
BEEN COMPLETED AND THIS
SQUARE IS NOW ONE OF HAND
SOONEST THAT ANY CITY CAN
BOOST.

The lighting system on Granada
square has been completed and that
pretty park now presents an unusual
ly attractive appearance after dark.
The lights are similar to those about
the Plaza, there being eleven in all,
one at each corner, two each on the
north and south sides, one each on the
east and west sides, and one in the
center. Each light is set on a hand
some iron post and has three bulbs
The square is now one of the prettiest
that any city anywhere can boost,
either 10y daylight or lamp light.
One of Mayor Greenhuts hobbies is
improved parks and squares and it is
his intention to develop and beautify
each park in the city until all are as
beautiful as Granada square and the
Plaza

POSTOFFICE IS
BUSIEST PLACE
INTHECITYN
PARCEL POST PATRONAGE WILL
GREATLY EXCEED ANYTHING
OF THE SORT AT MANY OF
LARGER OFFICES, is THOUGHT.

Unquestionably the busiest place in
the city today, and for the past few
days, is the postofnce. From the time
the stamp windows are opened IN the
morning until late in the evening,
crowds have been surging through the
corridors, mailing remembrances to
out-of-toWn friends and relatives, and
Postmaster Hancock yesterday stated
that every eligible, every substitute
and a few extra helpers had to be
called upon to aid in the great rush.
It is a steady stream. and yesterday
the postmaster said that he thought
the seasons business would actually
be i've times that Of any like season in
the past.
To facilitate the handling Of parcel
post packages, the postmaster ar
ranged to have one clerk do nothing
but weigh packages and note on the
same the required amount of postage.
Clerk Thos. Everhardt was assigned to
this important duty. His desk was
placed in the corridor. One small
scale. for Weighing small packages,
and a larger pair, for ascerta1ning the
cost for transporting by parcel post
the large packages, are on the desk.
At his right is q chart, showing the
respective parcel post HouS5s SHu "a
course the charges for the packages
depend a great deal upon the distance
they are carried. A package is Of
fered this clerk, and he quickly and
expertly weighs it and notes the
charges. The owner then goes to the
stamp window, a few feet distance,
and adixes the proper amount. This
simplif1es the service very much, and
many have been waited on in this
wa% who would otherwise have been
compelled. under the ordinary ar
rangement, to wait for many longer
periods.
The fact that the postoffice is again
in the spacious government building
was a matter of congratulation yes
terday by patrons and the postal en-
ployes. Plenty of light and ventila-
tion and conveniences for addressing
packages, letters, ETC., are more num-
erous, a condition not obtaining at

Public Sentiment
Approves Chicken Law.

The Journals telephone has been
very busy much Of the time during the
past two days, numerous people ali
over the city calling up the paper 70
express their approval Of The Jour-
nails proposal that a chicken ordinance
be enacted.
One lady said that a neighbor's
chickens had not only ruined her gar
den and flower beds, but had made Il
impossible for her TO have a garden
unless she erected q chicken proof
fence around her lot to keep the fowls
out This she did not desire to do and
dfd not think should be necessary. She
thought, and properly 50, that some
way should be devised 70 make other
people keep their chickens off her
premises.
a great many people Hike to raise
chickens. This is right. A great many
moro could help solve the problem Of
living II they would raise chickens
encouraged.
But people who raise chickens should
keep them on their own premises. They
should build fences high enough and
tight enough to keep the fowls at
home.
A great many other people like to
grow gardens and make flower beds
This also is right. A great many more
also could help solve the problem of
living II they would grow gardens.
Gardens, in fact, ought also to be en-
couraged.
But people who STOW gardens should
be permitted to do so without having
them destroyed by other peoples
chickens. The garden-growers ought
not to 'oe compelled to build fences to
keep other peoples chickens out.
The city can remedy the whole
trouble by passing a chicken ordinance
similar to the stock ordinance. That
would compel people to keep their
chickens at home just as they are now
compelled to keep their stock at home.
That is a fair proposition, isn't It ?
Then let the city commissioners get
busy on the ordinance at once They
win be comforting favor on about 90
per cent Of the home-Iovtng people of
Pensacola If they win do it.

II there ever was any doubt about there
being the necessary amount of moisture

OF the last week have been heavy all over
southern Nebraska and Kansas. When
they melt they will thoroughly soak The
ground at least six to eight inches and
give grain great start as soon as warm
weather sets in.
Everything indicates an enormous
acreage OF corn next season, for the high
prices are going to be an incentive for
the farmers to make next year a banner

ZEPPELIN A coNFEo-
crate SOLDIER,

An Illinois paper declares that Count
Zeppelin, the inventor of the great dir.
igible airships which have SO frighten-
ed the English, served in the Confed-
crate army during the Civil war. 1t Is
authority for the statement that he
I enlisted in the Southern army and
fought until the close Of the war.
Count Zeppe1in's experiments with
airships date from the end of his ex-
periences on United States battle
fields. 1t was here that he conceived
his idea OF military balloons, and al
though Al, yars old at the time, he be-
gan to invest schemes for sailing in
the air.
The Emperor of Germany appointed
commission of military and scientific
experts, which promptly and officially
turned down" his plans as visionary.
"Such balloon" declared one of the
technical professors, "can never at
tain the necessary speed OF 80 feet
second" Zeppelin went ahead with
indomitable energy, optimism and hui
NOR, spending all his fortune, and
then making use of large legacy
which fell to him at the right moment.
On July 2, 1900. his first ship made
an ascent Of 10 minutes. This craft
was hardly successful and brought
ridicule rather than recognition. When
his funds we're about gons, tho count
sent out in 1908 an urgent appeal"
explaining that his labors would be
forever wasted unless help was given
at once.
A lottery brought funds for new
ship, which was soon wrecked. This
seemed to end the matter, but Zeppe-
lin Immediately built third ship
out of his last funds; this had de.
cided, but brief, success before it, too,
was destroyed. Then the German peo'
pie as a whole sprang to his aid and
made him splendid present of over
81 500, 900.
The confidence Of his fatherland ap-
parently has not been misplaced and
the count has made his war machine
one Of the most dreaded forces of
modern warfare. = The Waco Times
