IMPROVED MARKETS;
A REPLY TO Mr.. CRAZY

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Kindly publish the following reply
to Mr.. j. w. Crazy:
Pensacola, Fla, July 19,g1915-
Mr.. ]. w. Grary, Bluff Springs,

Dear Sir: Your article in Sum
days Journal in regard to the necess-
ity for improved marketing methods
in Escambia County has been read
with a great deal of interest. Espec-
tally in view of the fact that the OBJ
jects you. say should be sought are
the very objects which the Chamber
of Commerce and the Escambia Coun-
ty Crop Improvement Association are
seeking.
In order to sell something, it is
first necessary to have something to
sell, and it is almost an axiom that
having an article of reasonable good
quality for sale, a purchaser for the
article can be found somewhere.
Realizing these facts, and realizing
further that the unsatisfactory con-
ditions surrounding the marketing of
Escambia County's farm products
arose out of the inability of the farm
ers to meet the trade customs of the
Northern cities by shipping in car
loads, the directors of the Chamber
of Commerce and the Crop Improve
ment Association formulated a policy
looking toward the production OF
farm crops Of marketable quality and
in marketable quantities. At the
same time preparations were made tt
assist the farmer to find a market
when he has something to sell

Harrington was elected by the vote OF

5 sIAvs CONTINUE ATTACKS
German Commander Compelled TO
Withdraw on Northern End Of

QUIET PREVAILS IN THE WEST

BERLIN (via London). Nov. a.
The war office announced today that
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg had
been forced to withdraw his lines be-
tween Swenton and Ilsen lakes on.
the northern end Of the Russian
front.
Tho German official statement OF
today follows;
Eastern Theater-Army of Field Mar
shal Won Hlndenburg; The Russians
continued their attacks before DvinslC.
AT Illouksy and Garbunowka they were
repulsed. They stormed our positions in
this region four times with extraordinary
heavy losses. Between the swenton and
Ilsen lakes we were forced to withdraw
our lines The Russians succeeded in
occupying the village OF Mikulischki.
Army OF Prince Leopold; The situa-
tlon IL unchanged.
Army OF General Won IAnsingen; On
the OeinslSi canal the enemy advanced
against the locks at osaritchi. but was
repuised. on both sides Of the Lisowoc-
zatorys highroad. the Russians werc
again forced to retreat. Five officers
and 660 men were made prisoners and
three machine guns were captured.
The troops OF General Won Bothmet
still are fighting for the northern part
OF sienkowice.
Western theater; There is nothing im-
portant to report. On Souchez Brook,
northeast OF the village OF the same
name, we advanced to a trench section
OF width Of 100 yards which. as It was
I'm danger of being surrounded. was
evacuated during the night
East OF Peronnes an English aeroplane
was forced to descend. The pilot and
officer were made prisoners"
The retirement of Field Marshal Won
Hlndenburg's forces from the line run
ming between Lakes swenton and Ilsen
apparently means that the German COM
mander Is abandoning his attacks from
the west and southwest on the Russian
stronghold OF Dvinsk, which town he has
been making a determined effort TO cap
ture In the operations of the last few
weeks. Lake Ilsen lies ten miles west of
Dvinak. while Lake s~enton Is situated
twelve miles 10 tho south of Lake Iisen.
The Germans evidently are now with
drawing 70 positions along line 70 the

= 'The campaign in the four big eastern
states, though it has not enfranchised

TEACHERS PLAY
POLITICAL GAME
First Act of the Visitors is to Ex-
press Their Preference in
a Primary.
ECHOES OF AN OLD FIGHT

With the primary system of nomi-
nations instituted In the Me-
braska State Teachers association
expressly to eliminate politics, poll
tics nevertheless persistc. While a
few of the 1000 teachers that en-
rolled at the association headquarters
at the Rome hotel during the fore
noon were at a loss for a candidate
to vote for, many other delegations
came in solid ranks for the respective
candidates they had been duly
coached to vote for.
1t comes to light that ror some weeks
and even months. certain factions have
been working through the mail to create
sentiment for their favorite candidates
The old fight between the A. o. Thomas
faction and the so-called schoolmasters'
club ring is showing some tendency to
be revived
Thus Prof O. w. A. Luckey Of the
University OF Nebraska Is the favorite
candidate of the Lincoln delegation and
of those who conspicuously opposed
| Thomas two years ago.
AZ NhN ndihp lAlilt IIOis IL H.

supporters among those who have al
ways been identified with the Thomas
faction. Systematic effort TO get his

perintendent e. 9. Cowan of the Albion
schools is another who has been writing

boost Hahn's election.
Other candidates that have been spoken
OF are p. NJ. whitehead OF Red Cloud
and II. V. Clark. superintendent OF the
! Kearney Industrial school, both Of whom
are looked upon favorably by the Thomas
faction.
| Needs No VtndicatiOn.
The report is current that the fight on
the Thomas resolution of two years age
will arise again when the resolutions
committee reports. State Superintendent
/ Thomas, however, denies this and says
he needs no vlndication and neither he
nor his friends desire to bring up the ole
resolution.
The resolution referred to is the one Il
which the friends OF Thomas sought 4
put the teachers association on recor'
as opposed to what they termed ''unfai
and secret methods OF the State Board o
Education in the administration of tn
school affairs of the state" This senti
ment grew out OF the summary dlscharg
OF President Thomas from the head o
the Rearney Normal school.
The resolution was tabled at that tim
and has not been brought up since.
Faint threats of splitting the associa
ton into two organizations. one repre-
senting the north and the other tn
south half Of the state, are heard, bu
can be traced TO no reliable source.
10 said that this is threatened in cas-
political tie-ups were made. No impoT
tance is attached TO this rumor, as al
tempts Of this kind were made year
ago with no success.
