DRUG MARKET FEELS
EFFECTS OF THE WAR

New York, Aug. 2S.-The European
conflict has started in this country
organized efforts to emancipate Am
erican manufacturers from dependence
on Europe If it is to be a hong war
the United States must prove wheth-
er American ingenuity can meet the
situation. This ingenuity must crys-
talize in two ways:
First: In the production Of mater
ials supplied by foreign countries;
second, in the manufacture of articles
for South American an dFar Eastern
trade.
Already manufa cturers throughout
the country are consulting chemists
and laying heads together to solve
the problem. Many face the prospect
of closing down unless certain drugs
and chemicals can be obtained.

ridden families. But the time to pre-
pare for any emergency is before 1t
happens.
It Is well to consider ways and
means now, before it is too late. One
thing Is very certain, there is no dan
ger OF planting too many crops. for
there is a market for them right here
In Escambia county.
Let US get busy then. and see If we
cannot reclaim some OF Pensacola s
eye-sores by planting to fall crops,
that there may be food for the hun
CRY. Anyone who works among the
poor will tell you that there will be
a hungry child glad to get every po-
tato and a mother thankful for every
cabbage that can be put in the ground.

Let's Plant the
Waste Places.

1t was In Philadelphia. several
years ago, that some clever econo-
mist was inspired with the idea Of
reclaiming the waste places of certain
sections Of the city, by planting them
with flowers and vegetables. to be
distributed to poor families Of the
city. The work made wonderful
progress and proved most practical.
In Pensacola the woman's Coop
erative Relief Association and other
benevolent orders declare that there
Is much suffering among the poor.
Why would II not be a good plan to
reclaim some of the waste places Of
Pensacola by planting fall crops and
have them worked by many who are
now in need of employment, in order
that there may be plenty OF potatoes
and cabbages. at least, if nothing
else, for fall consumption?
1t is very true that the men who
are at the centre Of affairs, and who
are lending their splendid executive
abilities to keeping the industrial
poise. predict that here in America
We shall be protected from the disas-
ters OF soaring prices and famine
