Dermott Presbyterian church. is copied

Times Clarion of Feb DIST
DR.. J. T. CauGhley, the popular pas
tor of the Presbyterian church of this
city, has been called to the pastorate
of church at Chicago, H., and We re
greet to learn, will in all probability,
accept it.
DR.. Caughley this morning said that
he would probably go up there within
the next few weeks and meet with the
Chicago congregation and would then
determine definitely whether he would
accept the call
DR.. Caughley Is among the strongest
preachers that the Presbyterian church
has had at this place and his going
away will be cause for genuine regret,

There may be nothing in name,

Because of the advance in sugar, it
is cheaper, to give votes to women

from which we infer that he got a

SITE FOR THE NEW SCHOOL
BUILDING.

Wouldn't it be fine thing if the city do
mated Georgia square, on North Palafox,
site for the new high school building?s
The progressive element of Pensacola
realizes how inadequate to our require
as the site fer the new high school building?
and what discredit it is to the third larg-
est city in Florida to have facilities inferior
to those found in the smaller towns
Pelsacola is growing, but it cannot at
tain d healthy growth without adequate
schools. Everybody who identifies himself
with the present movement will be proud,
to say, some day as he points out the new
structure, that he helped build this land
mark of achievement. Would not the COM
nissioners wish their names to be inscribed
in the hall of fame, too?
Georgia square is suggested because it is
centrally located, it is available, and besides
the buildings, would furnish space for an
ample playground

EASY TO FLY.

The interesting part of Miss Ruth Laws
flight from Chicago to New York is not
that she broke one long distance record, but
the ease with which she did it.
She had never tried a distance flight be-
fore; but in her obsolete machine, OF small
horsepower and furnishing no protection
against the wind she ''just started and flew
until had to stop to get more gasoline -
this was at Binghamton, after 59O-n1ile
flight. When she can get machine with
greater gasoline capacity she is going to
make nonstop flight between Chicago
and New York. 1t is simply question OF
keeping the propeller turning.
Miss Laws feat shows how simple and
exact the science of aeronautics has be-
come And ten or fifteen years ago all the
worldwas wagging its head at the Wrights
and the other pioneer inventors who some
times rose a few feet off the ground and
sometimes ran into fence. Now an air
plane, capable of crossing the Atlantic is
being planned.
Almost any day the air mail service may
be established in this county. Planes are
now being made with enclosed bodies,
warmed by the exhaust of the motor, in
which the pilot will be saved the only hard
ship Miss Law suffered-exposure to the
cold-and nothing short of storm and fog
need interfere with the regularity of the
service.
Another thing: The Plattsburg idea
which has been extended to the sea, may be
extended to the air. With flight reduced
to terms of simplicity, what is to prevent
the government from training great vol
unteer army in aeronautics?

Journal, that Shakespeare's father was

the Manor of Stratford-on-Avon by depos-

for not keeping his cutters clean; and in

BANKERS REALIZE POSSIBILITIES
OF THE SOUTH.

'1Tlle responsible borrower of today is
the farmer who materially reduces his
cotton acreage and utilizes the lands for
grain and stock
The definition occurs during the course
of an article in The Southern Banker dis
cussing farm loans in the south, and denotes
the new financial interest in our agricul-
tural properties and its reason.
In former days no bank would lend a
farmer until he had planted so much cot
ton 1t was almost slavery But packing
houses and grain elevators are taking the
place of the gin, and bankers are now
willing to lend only in case so little cotton
has been planted.
For this we are to thank the boil weevil
Cursed and poisoned and quarantined and
burned, like many another reformer, the
weevil has been the greatest blessing of the
south in modern times. The weevil has
increased the net income of the farmers.
because with Investigation, crop failures
are practically eliminated, and it has also
enhanced the value of the land
The banking Importance of this is that
greater loans can be made on the land for
development purposes. Whether the Fed
eral Farm Loan bill is responsible for the
lHCIcdScd interest OF private banks IN agT1-
culture, is not essential; the important
thing is that they are, and are showing an
unwonted eagerness to make loans to the
farmer on fifty per cent valuation basis.

The average cost of farm land per acre
in Illinois in 1910 was $95.02, and the net
earnings per acre amounted to $11.95, or
a 1880 per cent return The average cost
of farm land in the south (the figures are
for Georgia) at the same time was $13.74
and the net earnings amounted to $1598

sioln, or that can be called into ses-
sion when cases arise, and that will
have wide enough jurisdiction to care
for cases that properly come before it.
The need of such a tribunal was es-
pecially demonstrated a few days
since, when a man was arrested here
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. He was as one might say
caught with the goods, and when
brought before Judge Rhoda was
ready to plead guilty as charged.
However, under the present system,
he was not permitted to do this, the
existing courts not having jurisdiction
in such cases. Therefore he was re-
manded to jail to await the converting
of the grand jury some time in jan
uary. This not only works an undue
hardship upon every man brought up
on any such a charge, but also puts
the county to the expense of feeding
q prisoner for nearly two months, in
this case, where, with county court
he could have been tried and sentenced
within . few hours or days at most.
