had increased to 24.OGo tons and in 1914
it dropped back to 1851 tons. or a loss

This represents the ''rema rkable de-
gree Of success which. according to Mr.

ions Of dollars in restoring commerce
to the river
And the difference between the ton
mage in 19o5-lS.lS2 tons-and that in 1914
-l9,51I tOns-represents the basis for Gen
kinSman's statement that the present
grounds for continuance OF this project
are stronger than those which led to

VIII Be shown This Fall.

In round numbers there will be at least
100000 women eligible to vote in the

the approximate female population at the

women, as well as men, there are Iarre
numbers of those who are eligible to vote
who have never qualified.

The Pensacola Library is to launch
a campaign. Five hundred new mem
bers are wanted to keep the library
alive until we get a Carnegie library,
memorial, or a city library.
Miss Lottie Flynn, who for so many
years has been librarian for the PEN
sacola Library, says:
s'The question of a Carnegie library
will be brought up again, his offer to
Pensacola in establishing a library
here, which would be a credit to the
city and an incalculable aid to the
citizens. 1t is not necessary in these
days of universal distributions of IL
braries, to argue extensively respect
ing their utility in all directions to
every community. The advantages of
"a library are apparent without argu-
ment, the work of the Pensacola Ii
brary has been done under many diff
culties.

through the efforts of a few, the
membership being so limited, but
these few have done much of which
