were living in Gree America 'or the
Cannibal Islands. He also said there
was 10 danger in a school wagon and
said that they employed good respon
sible drivers and gentle teams and the
drivers must give bonds. A few
days later, | talked with another
trustee and told him he couldn't get
good drivers for $50 per month and
he replied that they usually employed
some l6 year old school boy, who was
attending school.
Some time ago our clerk Logan
wrote a sketch in the "Pioneer," ad-
vising tn people to pay tax on the
irrigated land which they live on and
the Government holds title to. Is it
any wonder that he wants plenty of
tax money when he gets handsome
roll of it every month in the way of a
salary?
Will give a few reasons why we
don't want consolidation. AS the dis
tances to school houses increases, the
valua Of land decreases. There are
many instances where children have
to walk from half mile to mile to
meet the much despised school wagon.
Some have to leave home as early as
seven or seven thirty in the morning,
while these consolidation promoters
are joy riding in their cars. Think
of the poor overworked mothers, who
are compelled to get up at four and
five o'clock in the morning; cook
breakfast and prepare lunches for the
little fellows who have to hustle out
in the dark and cold, an hour and q
half before sun rise to meet the
wagon on time-while the promoters
of the consolidation scheme are still
snoring comfortably in their warm
blankets.

CANADA SEIzES
WHEAT SUPPLY

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 29.-The Cana
dian government has commandment
all high grade wheat in elevators from
Fort William, on Lake Superior, to
the Atlantic coast.
The action is taken under the spe-
cial war act of the Canadian grain
commission. The wheat seized is of
grades No. 1 hard, No. l., 2 and 8
northern. 1t is the property of grain
shippers and millers. That taken is
all which on Saturday night was in
public elevators at Fort William,
Port Arthur, Midland, Tiffin, Port Nc
Nichol, Collinwood, Goderich, Kings
ton, Port Colborne, Prescott, Quebec,
st. John, Montreal and Halifax.
A revised estimate places the
amount at about twenty million bush
els. A considerable amount is the
property of American grain dealers.
The grain was taken Saturday night
so that grain exchanges should be af-
fected as little as possible. 1t is Of
fcially said the price will be fairly ad-
justed and the grain owners prompt
ly paid by the Canadian government.
1t is estimated that there is still in
Canada in the hands of farmers and
dealers west of Fort William $780,
1000 bushels surplus of wheat avail
able for export. 1t is expected that
most of this will be taken in the fu-
ture for the use of Great Britain,
France and Italy.
May Be Sent to Italy.
The domestic supply of Russia is
more than sufficient to meet the needs
OF that country. Had the Dardanelles
been forced the surplus of Russian
wheat would have made the present
action unnecessary. While the wheat
just taken was Communicated to fill
an order from the British government
for a large quantity Of wheat it is un-
derstood most of it will be shipped to
Italy.
The Canadian government will look
after the transportation of the grain
to the Atlantic seaboard and from
there it's shipment across the Aelantc
will be undertaken by the British gov
ernment in the same way that ship
mcnts of oats and hay have been han
dled for the past year,
This years Canadian wheat crop,
according to the last official estimate,
was 333b.000,000 bushels. Later unofti-
cial figures placed the crop at about
350,000,000 bushels. For export the
surplus is expected to exceed 200-
000,00C bushels Great Britain's de-
nand is caused by wartime conditions
and the governments action is at
tributable to the same causes.
The present order goes no farther
than the amount stated, but it is an
nounoed that large supplies are need
ed and though there is no official an
nouncement to that effect it is more
than likely that more wheat will be
required on similar lines later
Although such action as comman-
deering wheat is radical it is not un-
usual in war time.

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY LEADS
IN THE COMMERCIAL WORLD

Ever since the automobile industry
became one of the leading factors in
the commercial world, predictions
have been made that reaction would
take place. Those prognosticators
who had it all figured out that the
turning point would come in 1914 or
1915 were as near to the truth as the
positive individual who said the war
could not last after June.
According to John N. Willys, pre-
sident of the WHY'S Overland Com
pany, the stability of the industry
is greater today than at any time
since its inception.
Any suggestions that the growth of
the automobile business is only tenn
rorary," says Mr.. WHY'S" is not tax
en- seriously by sane thinking people
who have watched it's growth and de-
velopment during the past fif
teen years. Twice during that time
it has passed through national panics
without even faltering and is perhaps
the only big industry that has never
received a serious setback.
"The demand for cars is greater to-
day than ever before in the hetory
of the business. This year the Over
land plant will produce approximately
100000 cars which is more than
double the output of last season. AL
though we are shipping on an aver
age of 500 cars day the factory finds
it necessary to work overtime in order
to keep pace with the orders that are
pouring in.
"The big price reductions alone
have enabled thousands of people to
invest in motor cars who heretofore
consider them beyond their means.
The ease with which the modern car
is operated probably accounts for the
great numbers that are now being sold
to women.
"Instead of a luxury only indulged
in by people of wealth the automobile
has developed into practical necess
ity. This is particularly true in the
vast farming sections of the country
Statistics show that the farmers are
the largest purchasers of motor cars,
yet they are the last people on earth
to spend money foolishly. They do
not invest in car merely for the
pleasure part of it last. The average
farmer looks upon the automobile as a
time and money saver that will permit
him to accomplish more work in less
time than with team of horses.
"In the cities the motor car has be-
come almost indispensable to doctors
and professional men. 1t enables them
to make more calls in a day than they
could in week if they had to depend
on horse or trolley car as means
of transportation. Statesmen, collec-
tors, and in fact all outdoor business
men are using the motor car to facili
tate their work.
"Every city and town in the country
can boast of its quota of cars but the
present owners constitute only email
proportion of the possible purchasers.
This is evidence by the fact that deal
ers are continually oversold no matter
how large their allotments from the
factory"

HOME ECONOMICS DEPART.
MENT DOING GOOD WORK

The Home Economics department o
| the Roman school Is carrying on worl
in new and well equipped laboratory
The room is made attractive by whit,
! painted walls and blue and white cur
tains. The curtains are being made by
the girls in the Sewing and Foods class.
The larger equipment consists of a six
hole Majestic range, Babcock milk
tester, built-in kitchen cabinet with
bins for sugar and flour, three tables
which are supplied with cooking uten-
sils, and sink. The sink is an espec-
tally good feature of the equipment.
A cistern and cesspool have been con-
structed and hand pump put in the
sink, SO that there is an abundant sup
ply of water in the house. Hot water
is supplied by large reservoir attached
to the range. There are two new,
late-model Singer sewing machines
which are used by the sewing classes.
The aim Of the work is to give to the
girls working knowledge of principles
which will enable them to become effic-
lent in the profession of home making.
The work in Foods has included the
canning of vegetables, making pickles,
jelly, beverages, and the preparation
of fruit and vegetables for the table.
A study of food principles accompanies
the laboratory work. A very impor-
tant part of this work is the prepar-
alton and serving of a hot lunch every
day. This is accomplished by dividing
the Foods class into groups of two,
Each group is on duty once week.
One hot dish is served each noon. This
cafeteria is run for the benefit of pu-
pills who come in the school wagons.
Meal tickets good for twenty-one hot
lunches are sold for fifty cents. This
is intended to cover the expenses of
supplies for the cafeteria. Between
thirty and forty people are served
every day. This work is given only in
the high school. Sewing is begun in
the fifth grade. The fifth and sixth
grades are making sewing aprons. The
seventh and eighth grades have made
sewing aprons and boudoir caps and are
now working on corset covers and
night gowns. The high school class
begun this year by making their cook
ing uniforms, hand towels, holders,
caps and aprons. The girls made en-
broidered guest towels and are now
completing MILDLY blouses. A study of
textiles is Civ in connection with the
sewing.
The people of the community are in
vited to come to school and visit this
work. Foods laboratory meets on Mon
day and Wednesday from 2 until 8
O'Clock. The Sewing laboratory meets
on Tuesday and Thursday at the same
hour. On Friday afternoons the reci-
tations are held. In the near future
before the Christmas holidays-an ex-
hibit and reception will be held, when
the work that has been done will be

VERDICT OF $4,000
GIVEN PLAINTIFF IN
SUIT FOR INJURIES
AFTER TWO DAYS, CASE IN THE
COURT OF RECORD AGAINST
PENSACOLA ELECTRIC COM
PANY is ENDED.

Thomas P. Gravette, 50 years of
age, who brought suit for injuries
which he said he sustained through
carelessness of agents of the Pensa-
cola Electric Company, was last night
awarded verdict of $4,000, with in
terest from date of suit, after two
days trial of the case.
Jno. P. Stokes and R. Pope Reese
appeared for the plaintiff, while the
electric company was represented by
Blount & BIount & Carter, with j. E.
D. Yonge and C. L. Shine appearing
in the case personally and conducting
the defense before jury which was
composed Of H. S. Cooper, William
Butler, L. A. Dubuisson, E. A. Landt,
Britt Nichols and John Klumpker.
The jury considered the case forty
minutes.
The accident to Mr.. Gravette, it
was shown, occurred in March. While
he was about to leave a car of the
bayshore line at Bayou Chico station,
and after he had arisen from the seat
the car is said to have given a jerk,
throwing him forward. That caused
extremely serious injuries, and he was
permanently disabled, it was alleged
mainly from the effects of the acct
dent.
In this case, it was said, there had
been summoned more different physi-
clans than in any one case yet heard
in the court of record or any of the
local courts. Almost dozen different
doctors were heard, and some of them
were drawn out in interesting lectures
on anatomy. Practically all of the ply.
sicians were heard on the question d
the good or bad effect of an opera.

MANAGER OF CITY TRANSFER
COMPANY BOLDLY VIOLATES
THE PRESENT STATUTE WITH
SUCH PURPOSE IN VIEW.

With few to making a lasting

of baggage on the platform at the
L. & N. passenger depot, NJ. M. Bird,
manager of the City Transfer Com
pany, yesterday courted arrest, and
his case will come up for a hearing
later in the week. 1t was continued
yesterday morning until certain
parties to the proceedings are con-
viently ready to be present, either as
attorneys or witnesses.
The ordinance forbids any transfer
man, drayman, or even a taxicab
driver, to solicit any business within
a certain territory Immediately sur
rounding the new passenger depot.
The ordinance is understood to have
been passed at the earnest solicita-
ton of the railroad company, and its
enforcement has been g matter of
considerable objection to the taxis
and transfer men. Advised that
such a measure would not hold in
law, and believing that the ordinance
can either be forced to an amend
ment or else completely declared I'M
constitutional, the action by the police
is understood to have been brought
on purposely, and the outcome of the
said test is awaited with interest, by

CIRCUIT COURT To
Be CONVENED HERE
REGULAR FALL TERM WILL BE
OPENED ON MONDAY OF
NEXT WEEK, WITH JUDGE
CAMPBELL PRESIDING.

Monday at 10 a. M, the fall term
of the circuit court will be convened
in Pensacola in regular session. Up
to last night, the sheriff had no in
formation from Judge Campbell
whether or not there was to be a
grand jury, but he hopes to receive
an order within the next few days. In
case the circuit judge cannot be pres
ent in person when the grand jury is
selected, he may delegate this impor-
tant duty to the county judge. This,
it was asserted, viii likely be done
providing the court term, which is
now being held in Milton, goes over
for the next several days.
It is believed that the coming
term at Pensacola will be less than
two weeks in duration, since the
great number Of cases which have
been fled for disposition in the court
of record has greatly lessened the
usually bulky and rather overloaded
circuit court dockets.
It was stated yesterday at the

vice during the afternoon, going out
on a false alarm call at 4:30 o'clock
but that was the last time he had
been in the harness, and when he die6
about midnight, there was real sorrow
