HUNTING AND

the best to be found anywhere, and
this is true of both salt and fresh wa

At the heads of nearly all the ba-

lent but it is especially so in Bear
and Cedar creeks, noted fishing places
which flow into the north arm of Sc.
Andrews bay near Bay Head; also in
WeteppQ aG1eelx end other small wa

bay.
Hunting is excellent all through the
bay country, quail being found in
large numbers. There are large flocks
of wild turkeys in various sections,
squirrels by the million, thousands of
ducks in season, few deer and, &C
casionally, q bear. Much of the coun-
ty is still in it's primitive state and
as there has been comparatively lit
tie hunting, game is to be found in
abundance almost anywhere.

OYSTERCULTURE
PLANTING RIvALvES FOR MAR
kET SURE TO MAKE MONEY
FOR MEN WHO UNDERTAKE 1T.

There are thousands of acres of
oyster bottoms in St. Andrews bay
that could be planted with profit TO the
man who took up the proposition and
while this industry has already been
begun the possibilities of the bush
ness have hardly been realized. At va
rious places in the bay there are nat
ural oyster reefs from which the
planting oysters could be secured
without cost and the plants mature in
gulf waters in about two years. The
oyster industry has been carried on
for years in all sections of the bay,
but effort has been directed princi
pally to longing oysters from natural
reefs rather than planting them with
view to future sale. A number Of
experienced oystermen from Long
Island Sound, after careful eXamina-
ton, stated that St. Andrews bay Of
fered unusual opportunity in this line
and it is possible that development
may follow in the near future. Sew
eral oystermen from Alabama visited
the bay recently and We're greatly inn
pressed with its possibilities for oys-
ter culture. Shipping facilities to
Georgia and Alabama points are eX
cellent and the oyster industry will
in time become one of the leading in
dustries Of the bay country.

There are three newspapers pub
liShed in Bay county, one at Panama
City, one at St. Andrews and one al
Lynn Haven, and all are above the
average of weekly publications. The
oldest of these is the Panama City
Pilot, established May 80. 1907 by G..
NJ. West. The editor of the Pilot has
devoted his energies to the upbuild-
ing of the bay country and his publi-
cation, the circulation of which has
been wide spread, has been instru-
mental in attracting great deal of
attention to the advaE tages and pos
sibilities of St. Andrews bay and the
country Immediately tributary there
to. The Panama City Pilot is an eight
page, five column paper, printed upon
fine book paper, and it covers the field
thoroughly. The subscription price is
81 per year.
The St. Andrews Journal was es-
tablished on April 1, 1913, tile present
editor, Lee Brooks, having purchased
the plant of the st. Andrews Buoy
which, previous to that time had been
operated for 23 years. Mr.. Brooks is
well known in the Florida Journals
tic field, having formerly been editor
of the Vernon News. The equipment
of the office consists of a Campbell
cylinder press and two job presses. in
addition to the usual fixtures of a

Two to Three Crops a Year
Easily Raised While De-
mand Exceeds Supply.
Every Variety of Garden
Produce May Be Raised
in Immense Quantities.

Bay county like a great many other
sections that are forging ahead rapid
Iy, hardly raises enough produce to
supply it's own people and as q con-
sequence prices are higher than in
most agricultural sections. a con-
siderable portion of the supply Of
vegeta bles is drawn from Pensacola
produce houses, some comes from
Alabama or Georgia and some from
East Florida. While truck farming
is carried on in a desultory way here
and there, there are no farms devoted
exclusively to truck farming, as in
other states along the gulf coast. And
this is strange in view of the fact
that a market for every bit of produce
that could be raised upon such a farm
is at hand. As a. small example Of

ers in the vicinity of the various
towns occasionally bring in loads of
vegetables, which they have no trouble
in disposing of at good prices, but the
variety is restricted. One man, for
instance, may have green cabbage,
lettuce, strawberries and tomatoes.
Another a load of green corn and
few melons. But no one man, as far
as the writer could discover, made

for garden truck of all kinds.

that war had been declared between
Russia and Germany.
Two Germans who were located were
attacked. One drew a sword from

police after a bitter fight.
So serious was the situation consid
cred that the London police placed a
strong guard in the vicinity of the Ger
man embassy.
Only persons having official business
there were permitted to approach. In
addition policemen were assigned to
duty in the section where most Of the
Germans reside.
The situation was made more SER
ious by the gathering of crowds of
youths who alternately cursed the Ger
mans and cheered the British empire
and the czar.
After midnight group of enthus-
iastic Frenchmen gathered in the vicin-
ity of the German embassy They
cheered their native land and the czar
and Justify cursed the kaiser and Ger

London, Aug. 1.-The great war is
on. Germany took the initiative and
formally declared hostilities against
Russia tonight
Up to the present moment it is Rus
sia and Servia against Germany and
Austria Hungary. France is expected
to be included az any moment. Her
army will mobilize tomorrow. Already
part of 1t is in the field.
England has not taken formal ac-
tion. Secret mobilization of the active
army has been in progress all day.
Railroad lines have massed their
equipment ready to turn 1t over to the
army. The king and the cabinet have
been in almost continuous conference.
But up to the very moment that Russia
and Germany broke, his majesty was
striving feverishly to avert the tre-
mendous catastrophe. Wire communi-
cation with the continent is seriously
interrupted All lessages show the
ear marks of a strict censorship, but
enough facts are left to indicate that
the serious situation has not beea over
estimated. Up to the presens time
there has been no indication of hos e
tile action by Germany against any
other nation than Russia. Apparently
the kaiser intends to force the issue
and put on the shoulders of both
France and Russia fun responsibility
for any break. There is no question
here that the gage will be accepted.
France has already made her position
clear. She is expected to declare war
the moment the German forces assume
the aggressive against her ally. Not
only are Russia and France confident
that Great Britain VIII be lined up ,on
their side, but the French foreign
office tonight announced that 1t had
complete assurances from the British
ambassador to France that the French
stand has the complete Endorsement OF
King George.
It could not be learned tonight
whether the king has received any re-
ply from his appeals to the czar and
kaiser to make mutual concessions in
the interest of peace.

That the declaration OF war that was
transmitted to the czar in st. Peters
burg tonight will precipitate a cata-
clysm that will stagger humanity is
certain. There seems not a single
glimmer Of hope. Germany has admit
tedly gone too far to recede. Nor can
Russia now back down.

triple alliance, but her example will be
followed by no other nation.

believed to be off Bornholm, in the
eastern part of the Baltic sea Ex-
perts here would not be surprised to
learn that German fleet has already
sailed with instructions to wipe 1t out.
Such action is considered absolutely
necessary by naval experts. They say
that the Russian fleet constitutes a
menace to German shipping and that
its annihilation is absolutely neces-
sary to Germany. II 1t can be wiped
out of existence before the French and
English war flotillas become active
enemies OF Germany, the kaiser will
have gained strategic advantage.
The feeling against Germ n y
throughout all of Great Britain is most
intense. Anti-German demonstrations
have already taken place in the west

Frenchmen at the German embassy.
