THE BATTLE CRY
OF PEACE COMING
GREAT SPECTACLE HAS BEEN
ENGAGED FOR LOCAL PRE-
sENTATTON, AND WILL SHOW
FOR THREE DAYS.

Pensacola is to see the great spec
tacle, ''The Battle Cry of Peace" Ac-
cording to arrangements completed
by Manager Sidney P. Levy of the
Opera House with Mr.. Edwin Al.
Sherwood, yesterday, this noted
booking is slated for the Opera House
July 20, 81 and %.
"The Battle Cry of Peace" is on the
same mammoth scale as "The Birth
of Nation" It treats of the United
States and Preparedness, not to say
the least of the beautiful love story
that runs through the picture. AS one
noted reviewer in New York said
after seeing the performance, at is a
story dedicated with respect, rever-
ence and admiration to ''The Mothers
America"
Mr.. Sherwood stated the demand
for this famed production has been
so overwhelming that, notwithstand-
ing their ten showings in this coun-
try, they have been compelled to get
out at least three more productions
The recent misunderstanding with
Mexico, and the call for Prepared
ness In this country has made ''The
Battle Cry of Peace" feature II
the public eye. Mr.. Sherwood stated
that the production playing Pensa.
cola goes direct to Evansville, Ind. He
stated that it was only on account Of
the incessant requests from Manager
Levy throughout the past year, anC
their desire to fulfill a promise made
that the famed photoplay comes tx
Pensacola now.
The Opera House will be fully
equipped with fans, and the house
made thoroughly comfortable for thi:
engagement. The prices viii be more
of the popular variety, announcement
of which will come later. The en-
gagement is for six performances
three matinees and three night per
formances.

NEWSPAPERS CIRCULATION.

The Daily Mail, of London, celebrated
its Goth birthday recently. In an article he
wrote for the anniversary issue Lord
Northcliffe gave the circulation of the
paper as ], 127, 633, says Richard Spillans in
Finance and Commerce That probably is
the largest of any daily newspaper in the
world. The Petit Journal of Paris, used
to lead but it began to wither some years
ago. AT the height of its prosperity it
had about 100000 circulation. In this
country the Evening Journal, of New York
City, has the biggest circulation. At one
time it exceeded 100000. A large part of
the issue was made up of an early edition
that went out in the forenoon trains and
reached as far east as Boston and as far
west and south as Buffalo, Washington
and Baltimore. To relieve the New York
sheet of some of its weight Mr.. Hearst es-
tablished a paper in Boston and thought
of putting one in Buffalo There is a point
in circulation beyond which there is no
profit IN daily newspaper if its size is
considerable for advertisers have not been
educated UP to paying proportionately as
high for big circulation as for small They
are right for much of the circulation of
many of the big issues is waste to the ma
jority of advertisers.
One glaring fact in connection with the
papers of immense circulation is that they
are poor newspapers. The Daily Mail is
flashy, sensational and i'll balanced The
person who reads it as typical of British
opinion would think poorly of the British.
The Petit Journal never was a real news
paper It's strength was in daily feuil1e-
ton and usually the story was Glow ordi-
nary" The New York Evening Journal is
made up principally of headlines, comics,
crimes, a Brisbane editorial, big half tone
pictures of women and advice to ladies in
love or hope to be.
Newspaper influence does not go with
newspaper circulation. The Petit Journal
OF Paris, never amounted to much polite
ally in France. The London Daily Mai
is but one of many papers Lord North
cllffe owns and his London Times is much
more powerful in mo1ding p=Sblic opinion
than is The Mail although the Times has
less influence today than before Lord
Northcliffe came into control AS for the
New York Evening Journal, its effective
ness his been declining for years.

GOLD AND BETTER THAN GOLD

You haven't dug up any gold this year,
have you? No, of course you haven't. The
figures issued by the Bureau of the Mint
and the Geological Survey show that
neither gold nor silver was mined in Flor
ida in 1915.
The gold production in the United States
in 1915 showed a gain of Sc, SOB 900 over
1914; and gain of 2, SOC, 975 fine ounces of
silver. The average price of silver per fine
ounce was $0.49889-you do the multiplied
ton yourself frankly we are not interest
ed in arithmetic that runs to seed like that.
The total value of gold produced in the
United States in 1915 was $101, OBS, ZOO; of
silver $37, 1885, 300
Colorado and California were the
heaviest producers, each yielding little
over twenty-five and half million dollars.
Virginia was the lowest, with "a ounces,
worth $780, Alabama produced 247 ounces,
worth SIS 100; but them, it wasn't very long
ago that a man ploughed up hundred and
twenty pints of whiskey in potato field
in Alabama.
We have no gold in Florida, but out cat
tie IS increasing every year. Grand Ridge,
for instance, which shipped one carload OF
hogs last year, will ship ten carloads this
year. Our farm crops are becoming more
productive in direct ratio as the farmers
forget timber and learn agriculture.

handy enough to have in our teeth, but
then what's the use of having teeth if you
don't have nice piece of beef? Go1di

A CLEAN TOWN.

That the recent raid by the police which
barred dens of vice in apparently respecta-
bic parts of town, has had a salutary effect,
no one will deny
The raids have not been repeated, but it
is well known that police are seeking evil
dence all the time. and vice knows the
sweet immunity of yesteryear has gone,
like the last rose of summer, and that
henceforth responsibility will demand a
strict accounting of its officers.
The police are to be. congratulated on
the zeal with which they are pushing vice
back into its own filthy den The good
people of Pensacola are trying to build a
great city; they are trying to attract tour
lists to spend their vacation here, and then
settle in our midst But is profligacy is
allowed to brazen it out in our hotels,
lodging houses, and residential districts,
our visitors will flee from Pensacola as
from house of corruption.

THE SCRATCH PAD.

The Florida Second regiments de-
parture for the border is indefinite

are raw recruits, whom it would be
murder to send into battle; because
they haven't uniforms; because they
are lacking underwear, and are shy

unquestioned; but instances like this
are demonstrating even to the addle-
Drained peacers how powerless the
United States would be against a
first class foe, unless President VIII
sons preparedness policy wins out.

I believe it is the greatest, falrest,

It is all this because of the blood
with which our grandfathers conse--
Grated it in Seventy-Six on the altar OF
civilization; it is all this because our
fathers so freely and joyously offered
their lives in the Sixties that the great
experiment in democracy might stand
the severest test in history; that the
peace that passeth understanding
might come after much heartbreak.
And I want to keep my country the
greatest, fairest, magnificentest, glor-
iousest, splendidest country in the
world.
I want it to continue land of rain
bows, with rich rewards for men of
high and low degree who follow ambi-
tons urge and keep their eyes to the
sky.
I want to hand it down to my child

the third and fourth generation as

BIGGEST TREE IN IOWA.
Twilight Cords of Wood and SOC
Posts Cut From Tree in Hickman
Timber Near HumeStOn.

Richman township has the honor
of having the largest burr oak tree
in Iowa.
Forty-eight cords of wood and 800
posts were secured from tree in the
A. E. Richman timber. Fred Tipsord
and Roy Muse recently cut this tree
down and worked up the wood. They
say it was a real job Of work.
The tree measured twenty-five and
one-half feet around the stump. At
distance of twenty feet from the
ground it measured six feet and eight
inches through.
The tree was over half century
old, according to Mr.. Tipsord, who
counted $40 grains of wood. J. H.
Richman, pioneer resident of the
township, says the tree has not grown
a particle in sixty years.
A number of expert walnut buyers
who have visited the timber at differ
ent times claim the tree was the
largest burr oak tree they ever saw
in Iowa. They claimed to have seen
white elm trees fully as large.-Hum-
