MAN DISAPPEARS
FROM HANCOCK
chariee 6. Shiyee, Of That Town. Has
Not Been Seen Since Last
Thursday.

Hancock is considerably alarmed
ever the disappearance of Charles e.
Shiyes. a laborer OF that town. Shives
has been In the habit of INDUCING In
iutoxicants rather freely. and Il is
stated that on last Thursday he left
.he house where he was staying and
had not been heard of since.
~ drst. his disappearance caused
tile alarm, but later when he did not
return a searching party was formed.
Little by little. the wanderings OF
ShiYeB we're traced and finally they
lead near John8on's Dam. In Fulton
county, Pa. about six miles from
Hancock.
n tho mountain near the dam tho
cap OF Shivcs was found, and tracks
red directly into the pond, formed by
the mill dam. Whether Shives wan
dered into this water Ia not known,
but so strong were the grounds for
believing that he had done so, that on
Monday the pond was dragged.
No trace of the body. however. was
found. although the persons who were
engaged in the work were not by any
means cure that his body was not
there.
The father OF Shives and his sister
recently moved TO Oklahoma, and it
is thought that possibly this preyed
upon his mind. causing him todrink

CLEAN UP.

Pensacola's Cleanup Week begins to-
morrow; and Judging by the preliminary
work already accomplished, new record
will be set here.
Many premises are already put IN apple
Die order, and everywhere throughout the
city there are piles of refuse, broken limbs,
tin cans resurrected, from under the kitchen
steps. Dashboard boxes, and so forth, and
so on, waiting the advent of the city's rub
Dish carts. ).
It is easy to foresee that the city will
face a shortable of teams before the week
is over, and to supply the deficiency Mayor
Hinrichs urges progressive Pensacoilans
to loan their teams and wagons to assist
in the great work Judging by the past, it
needs no prophet to say that the response
of our citizens will be immediate and ade-
quate.
The city, on the other hand, owes it to
the people not to stop with merely carting
off the visible trash Unsightly and dis
tressing though it may be, this rubbish
does not contain anything like the menace
that turks in stagnant pools, unscreened
surface closets and filthy stables.
That the authorities will be every bit as
progressive as the citizens we may expect
beyond peradventure of doubt Certain
regions of the city are woeful1y deficient IL
hygiene; and this is where the main work
must be done; this is where the inspector!
and health officers must prosecute theii
most unremitting search; this is where dis
ease originates.

COMFORT IN OIL.

With crude oil from go to $50 per cent
higher during the first six months of 1916
than during the corresponding period of
the previous year, it was inevitable that
activity in drilling for new wells should be
enormously stimulated. Of course most of
the activity was of the wild cat Variety but
while no strictly new pools were discov-
Grey, there was a development of old pools
and new extensions that were attended
with gratifying success.
One hundred and forty million barrels of
oil were marketed in the United States
during the first half-year of 1916 This is
less than the output during the first six
months of 1915 but in 1915 it should be re-
membered, was the maximum production
of the Gushing pool in Oklahoma and the
Crichton pool in Louisiana; and the 1916
period actually shows a greater general oil
production than the 1915 period.
This increased production has affected the
prices only of certain grades of high-grade
crude oil, but lowering influence on the
general market is inevitable, if production
continues its steady increase

VOX POPULI
PROSPEROUS PACKING PLANT

July 21, 1916.
Editor The Journal:
In yours of the 9Th instance, note
your interesting report on the Moul-
trie packing house. 1t states that the
"frst year they packed 10000 hogs"
about $50 car loads of the light hogs
then shipped and would be 300 car
loads for the one hundred stations
on the L. & N. railroad directly trib-
utary to Pensacola.
Does anybody think that such num-
Der Of hogs could not be had for
similar factory, if it was now under
process of construction and had been
assured four months ago? The Ar
mour Packing Company is nov build
ing the very packing house at Jack
sonville, that should have been now
building in Pensacola, and we believe
would have been built at Pensacola
if her citizens had joined with the
farmers along the railroads centering
in Pensacola.
The fact is, Pensacola overlooks the
Importance of holding the sympathy
and good will of all of the counties
of West Florida. We belong to her
and she is our metropolis. 1t is is an
irreparable mistake to allow so val
liable packing company to build in
Jacksonville instead of Pensacola.
And it is a mistake of that company
to leave Pensacola open for some
other company to occupy, and it will
be another sad mistake for the stock
growers of West Florida to become
impatient, and build at any of our
intermediate points.
The West Florida Chamber Of Com
merce should at once find out how
many from each station between Pen
sacola and River Junction, and from
all stations on other roads south OF
L. & N, and then if 10000 hogs could
be had for this winters packing, ID
a packing house were assured, then
We are just as safe, and far more
safe, to secure such plant in Pensa-
cola, as Moultrie, Ca, was when she
embarked in the same.

not INVEST A DOLLAR in a grain
house for shipping. If we develop
the stock business as we should,
every bushel of corn grown in the
state, can be fed to stock, and thus
realize just TWICE what the grain
would bring for shipment. This fact
has been fully proven in the great
grain, and stock, belt of Illinois and
Iowa, and we need the stock vastly
more than the western farmers for
the fertilizer.
Since writing the foregoing we
have received The Journal of 18th
inst, and rejoice that the Escambia
county stock men, are at last awaken
ing to see the need of a real packing
house in Pensacola, but as usual Pen
sacola and Escambia county are
thinking, and planning for themselves
alone.
Well! Welt We of the remote coun-
ties of West Florida can get along
without Pensacola, if Pensacola can
get along without all but Escambia
county. We have shipped to Moul-
trie, Ga, and we will ship from Jack
son county over ten or twenty car
loads of hogs this year. We will feel
sad to turn our backs, and business
from Pensacola, but we will increase
our stock and ship into another state
over three loads instead of one, pay
two-thirds (2-3) as much freight sc
River Junction, as the whole freight
to Pensacola, and just twice the
amount Of freight to Moultrie as tt

ing you wish to give everyone a
square deal, request you to publish
the following facts: you state that
Mr.. McNair said the hinges were re-
moved from the door on one occasion
so that entrance to the building could
be obtained after permission had been
refused on the ground that no written
order (Which is required by the regu-
lations) had been issued. Permission
had never been refused and the hinges
were taken off because someone had
tempered with the locks placed on
the door by Prof. Tyler and could not
be unlocked with the keys belonging
to them. Prof. Tyler provided other
locks and they were also tempered
with. I then purchased substantial
locks and furnished keys to Prof. Ty-
Ter. He returned the keys saying the
school was through with the hall for
the summer, that the dances were
conducted by private parties and that
no one had authority to use the school
name in connection with them. In re
gard to locking the students in the
building Friday night, did refuse tt
