SHIPPING IN THE PACIFIC

American shipping is looking up. 1t was
no surprise when American tonnage
dropped to 5000 upon the outbreak of the
war, for the total world tonnage fell off
enormously. The turning point has
been reached however, and the other day,
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company pur-
chased three large vessels, aggregating II,
100 tons
Japan too is taking advantage of the
present unparalleled opportunities. Moth
ing more clearly shows the Japanese de-
ve1opment than the fact that though the
keel of the first steel vessel was laid in
Japan as late as 1890, the total shipping
of that country today aggregates 2,158, 0CO
gross tons. During the war, Japan has
jumped her Pacific carrying trade from 50
to So per cent of the total.
Japan's shipyards are now taxed to the
uttermost; orders for foreign ships are re-
fused, and to supply the home demand even
Japanese shipyards are forced to import
materials from the United States
True, the United States now has mil
lion and a quarter tons of ships building
but only a portion are for use in the Pacific
which is Japan's sole resource.
Japan will therefore continue the leader
in the Pacific shipping trade; but the op-
portunities of the United States are none
the less bright. Before the war we had
$4,000 tons in the Pacific, without any in
centive to build more; now we have more
merchant ships under construction than
any other country in the world, and our
various seamen and shipping bills have
given us practically new industry in the
maritime carrying trade.

term will be known as Grade B the Febru-

until the rest of the class was so far ahead
that it seemed impossible to overhaul them.
No matter what the cause, he would be
forced to lose year. Now he will get a

girls, and a dividend of 90 per cent

to any city, and some day Live Oak
will be numbered as a manufacturing
city. .Ocala now has the distinction
of being called the Manufacturing
City of Florida.-Suwannee Demo

LIKES FEATURE STORY
FROM THE JOURNAL

Editor of The Journal:
I wish to express to you and the
author, Mr.. Bingham, my apprecia-
ton of the "Log of the Peep O'Day,"
which recently appeared serially in
the columns of the Sunday Journal.
l have enjoyed it immensely and have
heard many others express themselves
as much pleased with it.
I would like to see the story put
in pamphlet form and distributed
among the people in the north who
are accustomed to visit California and
parts of Florida other than this, in
winter, because it conveys an ade-
quate picture of the pleasures Of
cruising over our hundred square
miles of bays, streams and bayous
and carries with it the lure of quiet
spots where the game fish abound.
If so distributed it would undoubted-
Iy draw to Pensacola many visitors,
especially those land there are many
of them) who have an inherent liking
for the great out-of-doors.
Yours very truly,
JAMES F. PHILLIPS.

OUR GUNNERY

It's far cry from Don't shoot, bows
until you see the whites of their eyes," to rid
ding small target twelve miles awav and
out of sight, but American gunnery has
worked the miracle.
A new long-distance worlds record was
established the other day when the SUPER
dreadnaught Pennsylvania, in a simu1tan-
eous broadside of its twelve 14-inch rifles.
registered hits at range of 1000 yards.
The target? A little thing of canvas and
wood with twenty-foot base and twenty
loot apex-below the horizon.
Five out of twelve hits would mean seven
thousand pounds of steel and explosives
hurting into an enemy batt1eship with
every broadside at the distance the Tut1and
battle was fought. Every" quotha? How
many rounds do you think a ship could
stand of punishment like this?
Gunnery, with rifle or cannon. seems TO
have been an American institution ever
since the country began. In every war in
which we have been engaged, we have
given astonishing proofs of accuracy with
both rifle and cannon. Our naval eunnerv
during the Spanish war was considered a
miracle-records which we now consider
very second rate-in fact, we don't men
ton them at all
American craftsmanship, which wer4
down for few years, has now come back
into It's own-leading the world. There has
been nothing in any naval battle of the war
SO far to equal it.

COTTON AND CATTLE.

Far1v drou9hts, midsummer storms, ana
the late weevil have sent the cotton yen
'wav down. According to the estimate OF the
limited States Department of Agriculture,
the WELD will be IL ,SO0,0 900 bales; accord
mo TO the estimate of the Continental ana
Commercial National Bank, it will be only
10,600,000.
The 100000 crop in 1915, with the
enormous hold-over of the season before:
filled the demand last year, but the 1910
crop is not enough for the supply. Prices
will therefore be so high that number OF
people will be tempted to increase their
paintings next season, as they did this past
season-with the resulting disaster, due to
the weather.
But there are other things besides
weather to contend with. One of the prin-
cipal causes of the low yield in 1915, it will
be remembered, was the lack of fertilizer on
the thin soils of the eastern States.
No need to go further No need to men
ton the boil weevi1. You have a gamblers
chance with the weather; there is no gam
bic about fertility. 1t is dreadful GER
tainty No matter how rich the soil NAV
be, continual cropping to such gross
feeder as cotton will vitiate it. Considering
the nigh cost OF 1eIl1IlZeI elGIllcIIS HOW, d
full renewal of fertility is simply out of the
question The soil consequently is gradu-
ally becoming barren The farmers CAPT
tai stock is being used up When it is all
gone, he will be in the condition of 4 mer-
chant with empty shelves-bankrupt the
only thing left
The remedy is so obvious that it is hardly
necessary for us to point moral and
adorn tale. Until Our people abandon cot
ton for cattle no real prosperity can come
upon the land. Cattle (and this includes
all livestock as wel) enrich the ground
from year to year, instead of exhausting
it. With fair stock, good pastures, and nc
ticks, cattle raising to anybody who has
mastered the cotton game, is simple to a
point of routine. The tick is easily elimi-
natd, and pastures are the cheapest crop tc
raise; and with these conditions fulfilled, a
profitable strain can be evolved from scrub
stock.
Forget cotton and raise cattle should be
our slogan.

Need the Bridge

The Mariana Times-Courier is
making hard fight to have bridge
built across the Alphabetical river,
and they suggest that the $4,000
which the state highway commission
receives from the federal aid COM
mission, be applied upon this bridge.
We agree with them that there should
be bridge built across the Apalachi-
cola river, but we are not sure that
the whole amount of the federal aid
should be spent upon said bridge, as
it would likely leave some very nee
essary work undone-but certainly
we need the bridge to complete q
system of good roads in Florida, and
every means possible should be used
to build said bridge.-Milligan Jour
