More Than an Embargo
Is Needed TO Save the
Poor Mans Bread

Would an embargo on food stuffs, rec
commended by Representative Fitzgerald,
chairman Of the house appropriations
committee, bring down food prices in
the United States?
Are these prices due 10 the amount of
export trade. or are they rather, due to
a manipulation by the buyers, who hide
away our wheat and -four or allow vege-
tables 20 rot upon the ground and pota-
toes TO be thrown into the river as has
been recently shown by United States
District Attorney Charles CIyne?
While too much food is, no doubt, go
ing out Of the country, due to the fact
that bigger prices may be thereby OBJ
tanned, there is matter here at home
VIII + should be taken in hand by some
fc<n of legislation which would operate
TO stop t.
II is being quite clearly proved that
we have a food trust. here in America,
and il operates in devious ways! to suit
the economic policies Of the buyers who
amalRamate in order to fix prices anc
control the market
There is no need Of going TO the farm

VeniZelOs Champions
Democracy Against
Semi-AbsOlutiSm

The uprising in Greece under former
Premier Venizelos means more than a
participation in the European war. X Is
really a democratic pIo'eSt cf the people
against the autocratic form Of govern
ment by which they have h-en ruled ior
nearly two years. and demand 70 have
restored to them their constitutional
rights.
Thru its violation Of the Snrblan-Greek
treaty. the government OF Greece incur
red the disapprova and diStrust Of the
Greek people and VenizeloS beloved by
the masses, was removed TO make the
wheels of the government run more auto
eratically smooth.
King Constantine Is Teutonic the
queen connected with the German royal
family, while the Greek people are frank
ly pro-ally in their Svmpathies
The utter routing OF the Serbs thru
the failure of the Crock a1T'y to come to
their relief, enIaged the Greek people and
confusion which resulted in the removal
of Venizelos was The outcome Since
then the former premier has been obliged
TO resign and has been r'e-irstated at the
demand of the people several times. At
last, worn out 10y this vacillating policy
Of the crown, he has established a pro-
visional government OF Greece on the
Island of Crete where the people have
rallied to his support
His intention is to fight with the Allies
to defeat the Teutonic powers. for, with
Bulgaria an enemy on one side and Tur-
key on the other, the situation Of Greece
in case of Teutonic victory would he per-
ilous in the extreme.
After the war. the matter Of constitu-
tional freedom will pe thrcSned out and
should il be denied the Greek people. and
should they be governed a. before by
despotism. composed of king and
small group Of adviser s. who are really
rulers, there is possibility Of civil war
1t is believed by Venizelos that for po-
litical reasons if for no other, the Triple
Entente will see that the Greek people
have justice done then. and it is with this
end in view. the re-establislment Of con-
stitutional freedom. that he is gathering
an army in Macedonia and will espouse
the Allies cause.

Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)


Chewing gum got i'm bad, as they say
on the street That is TO say, it seems TO
be the proper attitude of the elect to view
The practice with scorn. 1t is supposed to
be indulged in by Sade and Name. while
Sadyie and Maymye turn up their but
ton-ike noses thereat.
Also the Schoolmarm and the precep-
tress of the female finishing school and
the upright and au fait generally regard
il rs vulgar.
But is il?
lntrinsically and per Sc II is simply
maStlcation, and maStication is form Of
exercise as truly as swinging dumb-bells
Or dancing the bunny hug One exer-
cises one end and the other the other
And altitudinously speaking, chewing
Is the higher" form of pleasure.
And now come the medicine men and
depoSe and say that, the masticatory
nerve centers being closely juXtaposed to
those nerve centers that cause worry.
when one chews vigorously one does not
hone, As, for instance, note the hilarity
that usually attends dining
Surely whatever tends to alay gloom
and soul squirming is benefit
he chewing of gum is also the habit
of one class of people especially, to-wit,
namely: The Alert. The word alert
comes from the Italian all erta, mean
ing on the watch.
Those who have to be up to pitch
every minute ready for
prompt decisive action take kindly to
gum.
The soldiers in the trenches in France
are given to 1t. They are playing with
death.
Baseball players chew gum.
Likewise eigiueors at the throttle
sailors in the crows nest and at the
wheel the farm hand pitching hay, the
steel worker stripped to the waist hand
ing white hot metal, the automobile
racer. the golfer. tennis player, and Mar
dthon runner.
Gum chewing like potato and turkey
and tomato eating. and tobacco smoking.
and other things good and bad originated
in America. and dates from the day when
the Mexican Santa Ana, then "a refugee,
met The original Thomas Adams in 1866
i'm Staten Island and handed him a piece
of the gum from the Mexican chicle tree
(sapota zapotilla). From that little in
cideu' arose a business that now amounts
to around seventy million dollars a year.
l. is characterstically American. For
the American eXcels all other races, not
IN beef or brain but in nervous energy.
America is state of nerves. And gum
chewing is peculiarly adapted to people
Of exuberant nervous force.
Besides, chewing harmless chicle gum
gives US all the pleasure of eating (the
finest of indoor sports) yet without any
If the bad effects Of overlooking the
stomach.
The trouble with most Of us is that we

George Coxwell, riding an Indian
motorcycle which struck and slightly
damaged the Brent automobile Mon
day afternoon, and who made war
rant against Bernard Lewis, chauf-
feur on the car struck, was fined $4
and costs when the case was sifted in
the recorders court yesterday. Lewis,
who was charged with operating the
car in a careless and reckless man
ner, was discharged.
Coxwell, it was said, was the only
one who suffered to any extent in the
crash. His motorcycle was badly dam
aged and he was greatly shaken up
when thrown to the pavement. The
automobile was damaged to some ex-
tent, one of the wheels having been
cut up badly. 1t was in use yester-
day, however.

OF
FAIR ASSOCIATION
WILL HOLD MEETING
FIFTEEN DIRECTORS ARE TO
BE SELECTED, AND PLANS
FOR THE FORTHCOMING FAIR.
WILL BE DISCUSSED.

Stockholders of the Escambia
County Fair Association are to hold
meeting on Monday next, when a
board of twenty directors will be Sc
lected. Fifteen of these will be Sc
lected by secret ballot, and these of
course are to name the officers of the
association. The meeting will take
place at the San Carlos hotel, and the
probabilities are that there will never
have been more fully-attended
stockholders meeting.
There are some matters to be dis
posed of before the next fair which
will probably be discussed at length
at the organization meeting of next
Monday. On occasion of the last fair,
it was admitted that much valuable
time was lost, and that will give the
presently-elected board an idea, and
earlier work will be attempted for the
next fair. An early premium list, for
instance, will be one matter to receive
attention. Then there is the ques-
ton of a permanent site, for there
are those who do not believe Kup-
frian's park is the best suited of the
many available sites in this iTnme-
date neighborhood, and this will
probably receive early attention.

JANUARY EXPORTS
TIMBER, LII M Der
OVER 100000 Fl
TWO DOZEN SHIPS LEFT FOR
FOREIGN PORTS WITH MUCH
YELLOW PINE PRODUCT DUR
ING THE PAST MONTH.

Over 100000 superficial feet of
timber and lumber were exported
through the port of Pensacola during
the month Of January, according to
records at the custom house, which
were available yesterday. None of
the cargoes were large ones, and with
one or two exceptions, all were sailing
vessels.
The only other items Of export
were: 20,165 barrels of rosin, 1000
casks turpentine, and q, $50 crates of
fruit boxes. There were 9,480 tons
of bunker coal exported, valued at
$4,000.
Thus the export valuations for the
past month barely passed the half
million dollar mark. Timber and
lumber shipments represented a valu-
alton of 1851 ,124; rosin shipments
were valued at $10s ,95s, and, as
stated above, the bunkering business
representing total given valuation
of $4,000.
During the month of January
usually there is handled through this
and other gulf ports a wealth of cot
ton and other products. A review of
the custom house records show thou
sands of bales handled through the
port of Pensacola, valued at millions,
during the first month of the new
year, but there are a number of mat
ters which kept this condition from
being repeated duling the past month,
not the least of which was the total
absence of available ships. Cotton
was here in large quantities, and is
still stored in local. warehouses and
at the compress. Hundreds of bales
are in cars in the railroad yards,
while a large shipment is being made
in the Sierra liner Adelina, which is
in the slip, and which is filing out al
most exclusively at Pensacola with
several thousand bales of the -feecy
article for the English buyers.

LARGE SCALE THIS MONTH.

Milton VIII have a surprisingly
good Mardi Gras celebration this
month if the plans of the men behind
the movement carry, and one of the
very distinctive features of the sew
eral days of celebration will be a
Pensacola Day." on which day it is
expected many people from this city
will find it convenient to make a trip
up there and spend the day with
the delightful Santa Rosa county peo-
pie.
Mayor Greenhut was yesterday of
ficially notified that the day had been
set apart as Pensacola Day, and this
will occur on Friday, February IS.
The mayor, who was asked to speak
on that occasion, was requested to
reply in return mail If possible, and
the Milton Mardi Gras Association
will this morning receive, not only the
acceptance of the mayor of Pensacola
to be present and make speech, but
it also contains the good wishes of
Mayor Greenhut and the city of Pen
sacola for the success of the day.
Within short time, it was stated
yesterday, an announcement will
be made of the program from Milton
on that day, and then it will be urged
upon Pensacolians to make it conven-
lent TO make a trip to Milton and
spend the day with those happy folks
over there. Mayor Greenhut said yes
terday that, as Milton people always
SO literally patronize the Pensacola
Carnivals, it would be a very nice
way of reciprocating by having
large number make the trip, either
by train or boat, and spend the day
there delightfully."- as the program an

One black boy and four white boys
will shortly be placed In the reform

it is possible that the quartette OF
white disobedients will 60 on Monday
morning. The probation officer, Sam
s. Pinney, will make trips to Mari
anna with them.
Probation, Officer Pinney said last
night that dozens of calls which have
been made ON him have been because
of FRANKS of not more than very few
boys in the city, and he said that
coaxing, pleading, threatening and
helping, has been found to have not
had the Statutory and desired effect.
He also stated that not few other
boys who have been giving trouble in
the city,. would in due time 'be
cleaned up" and unless they mended
their ways they would also be called
upon to join the Mariana institution,
and remain there until they were
freed, better and more useful men.
All five boys were to have been
taken to Mariana this morning, but
County Judge Bellinger, who pre-
sides over the Juvenile court, informed
the probation officer last night that
he wanted to investigate more fully

boys whose alleged bad regulations
have brought the probation officer to
the conclusion the industrial school
is the best place for them.

Your Postmaster

is an important man in the commun-
ity. He has many things to look
after, and watches the time for the
arrival and departure of the mails
very carefully. If he didn't follow the
regular schedule, things would be in
pretty fix. But he knows the value
of regularity and takes good care to
get the mails off ON time. In mat
tiers of health the postmaster's ex-
ample is good one to follow. Keep
your habits regular, and when the
stomach, liver or bowels need help, be
sure to take the right remedy in time.
Neglect to do this makes matters
worse and harder to remedy. Many
