PIAGGIO IS
HAVING HALF DOZ.
SCHOONERS BUILT

Hnery Piaggio, well known in Pen
sacola, where he resided for a num-
Der of years, has contracted with a
new shipbuilding concern at Orange,
Texas, for the construction of six
sailing vessels, and the first of them,
a great, fve-mast, 1400-ton vessel, is
now on the ways, to be ready within
a few months.
Another vessel, the second one to
be laid down, is a four-sparred bark
entine, while the others are three
mast schooners.
Mr.. Piaggio, a friend said last
night, will spend about $260,000 in
ship construction, and all will be built
of native yellow pine. These YES
sells, it is said, will be among the
largest constructed of pine, and the
owner announces that interests in
Italy are already deeply interested in
his venture.
All the vessels will be under the
American flag, it is additionally an
nounced, and it is promised that the
larger one will probably take her
first outward cargo from Pensacola.
Local interest attaches to the con-
struction of the vessels from the fact
that Mr.. Piaggio was interested in
the exporting business at Pensacola
for many years, and has numerous
friends here who will follow the de-
velopments of his venture with deep
interest.
A. H. Mcleod, of the sail-making
firm of which he is the head, has just
returned from Orange, and said that
the five-mast vessel is a beauty. He
brought a blueprint of the schooner
with him, and while there landed a
contract to furnish sails and rigging
for the craft.

MILTON SHIPYARD
AN ACTIVE CENTER
epEc1AL To Tee JouRNAL.


Milton, Aug. 3.-Renewed bust
ness activity which has come to the
ship-yards as the result of the
storm last month is shown in Milton
as well as Pensacola. A visit to the
yards of the Hoodless brothers of
Milton shows very decided activity,
which promises to keep a full corps
of workmen busy for several weeks.
One job, Is repairing the "Swan,"
which runs between Pensacola and
Choctawhatchie. The Swan is gaso-
line boat about rs feet long, and is
on the ways at this yard. 1t will
take several weeks to put the Swan
back into commission, and the Milton
yard has other heavy work also
ahead.
The Santa Rosa County Sunday

c. OF c. MAY TAKE
Up CAUSE Of FARM
De STRAIT 0 R

c. Z. McQuarrie, state agent of
the extension division of the State
University, is urging the chamber of
commerce to take action to continue
the work of the farm demonstration
agent, whose salary appropriation
was cut from the budget by the coun-
ty commissioners, and no provision
for which has as yet been made by
the board of public instruction. Sec
rotary Phillips of the Chamber of
Commerce, stated yesterday that the
association would probably take the
matter up, in an effort to secure its
continuance, but that the crop i'm
provement association is already
working along these lines.
Following is the letter sent the
Chamber Of Commerce:
Dear Mr.. Phillips: l note with
surprise and much regret as per the
Pensacola Journal and Times Union
reports, the action of the county com
missioners relative to the matter of
continuing the farm demonstration
work in Escambia county. 1t seems
to me this action was ill-advised in
every sense of the word, and in the
same edition of The Journal in which
this information is contained there
Is strong boost for the county,
same laying claims that they have
great advantages to be derived by
settlers in the county. Now one of
the strongest arguments that could
be used by the Board of Trade or any
one interested in the development of
the county would be the fact that g
demonstration agent Of long expert
ence and high qualifications was en-
ployed by the county commissioners
and the u. S. department of agricul-
ture jointly to take care of the work
In the county and to advise new set
tiers as to handling of the soil, cult
walton of crops, and everything nee
essary to make your settlers success
full from the start.
Now I regret that l shall not be
able to get to your city to try to
straighten things out, but think il
is within the scope of your board OF
trustees activities to take this mat.
ter up, because the advertising mat.
ter and boosting stuff in general viii
lack the strength it should have if il
becomes generally known that the
demonstration work has been dropped
in that county.
am taking this matter up with
parties interested, and have no doubt
but that you will formulate some line
of action in this matter.
Regarding Mr.. HATS persona
work, we will have no sroubIe what
ever in locating him. He is a gooc
man, and other counties will be glaC
to have him, and as far as his being
out of employment is concerned, he
will not need to lose one days time
if the action of the county commits.
sioners should prove to be final.
Very truly yours,
G. K. McQUARRTE,
State Agent.

STUDENTS DEBATE
COMPULSORY VOTE
University Team VIII Set Forth Ad-

Vote

Although the admission will be
free, the Moscow public need not on
that account be deferred from attend

evening, in the university auditorium
when the opposing teams of the Utah
Agricultural College and the Univers
sity of Idaho will debate the question: :
Resolved that a system of compul-
sorry voting be adopted in the United
States" This is a question of general
interest and is likely in the near fu-
ture to come squarely up to every
voters attention.
Both teams are reported well posted
on the topic and carefully trained.
For Utah, Peterson and Maughan will
deny and endeavor to show that COM
pulsory voting is unnecessary. For
Idaho, Dingle and Sandelius will. put
forth the merits of the plan of COM
pelling citizens to vote All four men
have had excellent experience in de-
batting.

hours will be charged for at three
cents per kilowatt hour
''Since the average cooking consum-
er uses so kilowatt hours per month
the cost will be 1920 as against $4
under the old rate and is equal tc
four cents per kilowatt hour or a
reduction of 20 per cent" said Mr.
Osborn. 1T is the desire of the
company to cooperate with the pub
lie in giving the very best service and
wherever a saving is made in the con-
duct of our business we are glad to
give that saving to the consumer.
This reduction in rate to Inland En-
pire towns served by our company is
justified by the increased demand for
this class of service and as a result
the company is warranted in meeting
the demand with substantial reduc-
ton

CnILDREN'S HOME
NEEDS HOSPITAL
FIELD AGENT MARTIN OF LEW
ISTON INSTITUTION TELLS
OF WORK
Two Thousand Children Have Been
Given Aid Since the Home Was
Established

Among the pressing needs of tn
Children's Home Finding Association
at Lewiston is free hospital fo
surgical and medical work for sicl
children whose parents are too poo
to pay for such services at regular
hospitals. Last year there were
| about thirty surgical cases at Lew
iston, and it is very desirable thai
the Home should be in a position t.
take proper care of all the ailing chill
dren who are eligible to aid from this
society.
At the present time the Home has
from 80 to 35 children ranging in age
from three years to Is. Just now
there are no infants, though numer-
GUS citizens of the state would be
glad to adopt infants if the Home
could supply them.
One bedroom capable of holding
four beds is entirely without equip
ment and there is the most. pressing
need for supplies of furniture, bed
ding. towels, etc. -~~-- ~----
Outside Of Lewiston, Moscow has
done more than any other city in the
district of ten counties to maintain
the institution. On the other hand,
forty children from Latah county
been given a home at some time or
other. At present there are only two
or three Latah county children there
The home has two mottoes,-to
have no debts, and never to refuse
any child a home. Field Agent Mar
tin is in town and has been making
his annual appeal for subscriptions.
Money and equipment are needed. K
is desirable that subscribers when
possible pledge themselves for an an
nual contribution for five-year per-
iods. Any money or other contribu-
tion addressed to the Children's
Home, Lewiston, will reach the right
destination and will be deeply appre-
ciated.
About - children have been placed
in Moscow homes. Eight are in these
homes now.
Owing to the long winter, to the
contributions last year.
and to the large number of children
cared for, the Lewiston Home is i'll
need of special help just now.
Since the state started the Home
seven and one-half years ago in Boise
and Lewiston, more than 1000 chill
1ren have been aided.
