Should Prepare for
Woodmen's Encarnprnen

Citizens Of Pensacola should pre-
pare to welcome to Pensacola next
Monday the Uniform Rank of Wood
men Of the World, who will go into
camp at Palmetto Beach Monday and
remain for a week. They viii come
from all sections of Georgia, Alabama
and Florida, and in addition to the
Woodnen attached TO the Uniform
Rank there will be visitors here from
various sections Of the country.
This encampment, held last year in
Columbus, Ca, caused 10000 visitors
to visit that city. It is big event
among the Woodmen and no doubt
there viii be large number attracted
to Pensacola next week. What PEN
sacola should do is to give the Wood
men such royal welcome that they
will select Pensacola as the perma-
nent encampment place. Palmetto
Beach has been made suitable for
the drills and camp and being near
both the bay and bayou is ideally
located for such gathering.
It is believed the encampment will
be successful. The head officers are
sanguine of this and the local COM
mittee has worked hard to place Pal
metto Beach in condition and to do
everything that was promised when
this city was designated as the en-
campment site. If the head officers
are pleased at the end of the en-
campment it is possible that Pensa-
cola will be designated as the perma-
nent encannpment place.
1t is worthy trying for at any rate.

that if they are operated as they have

It appears that the city commits

Finding Market for
Escarnbia's Corn Crop.

The Escambia County Crop I'M
provement Association will aid the
farmers this year in finding market
for their product. The associations
first step in this direction is to ascer-
tain the probable yield and also the
probable amount that the farmers
will place on the market. To do this
cards are being mailed to all farm
ers of the county the latter asked to
give an estimate of the kind of corn,
the probable yield, its present condi-
ton and the date it viii be ready
for market.
With this information compiled the
association viii begin the work of
providing a market for the corn and
arranging for shipments in large lots
so the expense of marketing will be
reduced to the minimum.
The association is sending out with
each card the following letter to the
farmers:
Dear Sir: The Escambia County
Crop Improvement Association wishes
to assist you in finding q market for
your corn crop, and to co so asks you
to fill out the enclosed card and mail
it at once. 1t is very necessary that
the association be advised at the
earliest possible date about how much
corn you will have for sale, the kind
Of corn, and its condition. Also state
on the card the distance and direction
from nearest shipping point.
Your prompt attention to this mat
ter will greatly assist the association
in their efforts to find buyers for your
corn crop.
Yours very truly,
N. ]. LILLARD, Secretary.
356 Brent Building, Pensacola, Fla
The marketing problem has beer
one that has retarded the agricultural
development of Escambia county fol-
years, and The Journal is glad to see
the Crop Improvement Association
taking up the matter in a systematic
manner. It not only intends assisting
the farmers in finding marketing
for their corn but all other crops.

JOINT MEETING
W.O. v. LODGES
IS HELD TONIGHT
TWO LOCAL BRANCHES OF THE
WoDMEN WILL GET TOGETHER
AND ARRANGE FOR THE
GREAT ENCAMPMENT CERE-
MONIES.

A joint meeting of the w. o. W.
lodges will be held tonight at 8
o'clock, at the Woodmen hall, on
West Romano street, and it is the
wish OF all heads and officers of the
order that the attendance be as heavy
as possible, for arrangements are to
be made at tonight's joint session of
Live Oak No. and Hickory Camp
No. Fl, to take care of the hundreds
OF members of the Uniform Rank,
which are to be in this city next
week.
Barely week remains until the
great Uniform Encampment is a
reality at Palmetto Beach, when there
will gather members of the Uniform
Rank from three or four states, and
when the Sovereign officers are to
honor the gathering by their pres
ence.
Among the prominent visitors will
be Sovereign Commander Fraser of
Omaha, Nebr., who is coming here
from an encampment held in the
state OF Texas. Other officers of the
order of national reputation will also
come here, and the indications are
that Pensacola will have a chance
next week to cater to one of the
largest crowds of visitors that have
in some time gathered within her
borders. There will be upward of
seven hundred in the encampment
grounds at Palmetto Beach, and it is
anticipated that about twice that
number win come along, at least for
one or more days, to witness the
great gathering.
Sovereign Mills is expected here
early next week. Possibly he will
come over the latter part of this week
and then arrangements will be made
for the grand parade, which will take
place one afternoon of the early part
of the encampment.
Governor TramrnelI will come over,
but will not be able to remain
throughout the week. He has signi-
fed his. intention to attend the con-
ference of governors, to be held in
Boston soon, which will make it
impossible for him to remain for the
week al had been hoped.

Italians Drop
Guns and Max G
Use of Knives
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

Geneva, Aug. 24.-The italian
troops fighting on the Isonzo com
prises several regiments from the
south of Italy and Sardinia and some
soldiers from Corsica, who, when it
comes to hand to hand fighting, throw
away their rifles and use their dag
gers and stilettos. The Italian Off
GERS have frequently told these troops
that bayonet at the end of a rife
is of far more utility than a dagger,
but the advice is useless. Perhaps it
is instinct and custom. When the
troops from Southern Italy enter the
trenches of the austrians they use the
knife and not the bayonet.

this department has spent over $4,000
more than estimated, on basis of
six months expenses. It is true that
there was appropriated under section
two of the budget Sal ATT, as stated
by you, but you failed to mention the
appropriation of 81 ESQ to this depart
ment under section nine of the bud
get, and also the appropriation of DC
tober 10, 1914, for wages during said
month of officers who were afterwards
laid off on account of the reduction
in the police force. The police de-
partment after paying expenses from
October 1, 1914, to august 1, 1915,
have a budget balance of $5,319.90 for
August and September, and are not
overdrawn.
Fire Departmental department
has a budget balance of $8,40S.15 for
August and September, and the bud
get estimates are therefore not over
drawn.
Street Department budget
balance for this department for the
next two months as appropriated is
81, 112.71, and will not be overdrawn,
$4,000 more than estimated as claim
ed.
Water Department--This depart
ment has budget balance of &c.
O70.79 for the months of August and
September, or until October LIST, and
will not be overdrawn.
The balance of the current funds
as shown by my report on August
1st, was $7,794.14. The reason of this
small balance is the failure of the
people to pay their taxes for this
year, the amount in arrears to Au-
gust 1st, being $49, 863-56.

Mr.. BAYLTSS REPLIES FOR
THE CITY COMMISSIONER:

Pensacola, Fla, Aug. "a, 1915.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
The statement Of Auditor Raines
corrects the error which appeared in
your publication showing alleged
overdrafts by Commissioners Green
hut and Pou, and comment thereon by
me is unnecessary.
The other statement affecting my
Office relating to expenses of more
than provided for in the budget for
the various departments is mislead-
ing, and for the information of the
public deem it proper to make the
following statement:
The expenses for six months can
not be taken as basis of expendi-
lures for a year, as it frequently
happens that the expenses for the
first part Of the year are greater than
for the latter part.
It would be impossible in making
out the budget to foresee and provide
exactly for every expenditure in the
various departments for the ensuing
year, and unanticipated expenditures
which arise necessitate additional ap-
preparations as has been the custom
by former administrations.
The budget appropriates $26,620.00
for general expenses for the fiscal
year, but unanticipated expenditures
necessitated additional appropriations
amounting to $20,0s5.36, itenized as
follows:
