LIQUOR SMUGCLED TO
WOMAN IN CITY JAIL

Considerable STIR was caused at
the, city Jail yesterday afternoon
when Ella Johnson, white, prisoner,
was found to have become intoxicat-
ed, and the officials attempted to
ascertain who had smuggied the
liquor to her cell. There were several
negro prisoners in the hall at the
time, and upon several of them be-
ing presented before the woman, she
pointed one out of them, who gave
his name as Will Jones, as the man
who had brought her the whiskey.
Jones, however, stoutly denied that
he had carried liquor into the police
station, but the woman, Although
very drunk, insisted several times
that Jones was the man who had
bought the liquor.
The officers on duty, after a care
full investigation, learned that an
unknown white man had passed the
liquor to the woman, coming in al
the back entrance and passing il to
her as she sat in cell on the ground
floor, on the Main street side of the
jail.
Passing liquor to prisoners in jail
is a very serious offense, and is pun
ishable by exceedingly heavy fines
therefore great interest is being
shown in the outcome of this case il
evidence is secured to prove the Of

Secretary War Announces
That Contracts for Work
To Be Awarded Soon. ]
BRIDGE TO BE I
INCLUDED IN WORKa
$4,000 Is Available to Places
Roads in Good Condition. /
Commence January<6.

Contracts will be awarded on JanSs,
nary 6, for the repair of the nationals
road beyond the Big Bayou bridges
and repair of the bridge itself, ac-'
cording to information received by c.
E. Dobson yesterday from Secretaryfs
of War Baker.
The repair work is being made un~
der the recently announced plan for
spending a surplus of $1,000 from tha
years expenditures of this district by
the quartermaster at New Orleanss
and it is believed that this amount
will place the road in good conditions
Because the matter had not res
ceived attention only the ordinary
sums Tor maintenance could be spent
after the storms and FOR This reason
it is stated little could be done toward
placing the road in condition to be
used for the heavy traffic 70 which il
is subject.
With the sum now at the disposal
of the quartermaster numerous re-
pairs can be made to the bridge,
which was badly damaged in both the
July and October storms, and when
all is complete the poad will be in
better condition thansit has for some
time past
The state Of thesroa has been a
source of worry tos the aviators at the
station for some time, as most OF
them travel over-it several times daily
in motor cars.
With the repair of the governs
ment's stretch that part Of the road
between the two bayous will be thes
only remaining section which will
need attention. Members of the new.
board of county commissioners haval
already announced that they will en<
deavor to repair the roads of thel
county as soon as possible, and it isl
believed that soon the entire drive
way to the national reservations Will
be in good condition.

AUTOISTS COMPLAIN
OF COUNTY ROADS

County roads in the northern part
of the county, and especially near
Roberts, were roundly condemned last
night upon the return of several ma
chimes which had made the trip with
extreme difficulty, from Flomaton
and intermediate stations. One ma
chine, it was reported, stuck in bad
places three times near Roberts, and
the driver was forced to make a de-
tour to escape sticking at several
points.
It was reported that a large guam
tity of clay had been dumped in low
places near Roberts, and the excess
sive rains of the past few days have
softened this material, making it a
dangerous spot for autos The ma
chine, which was stuck three times,
extended aid to another city machine,
and before the route was traversed,
drivers of these two cars had learned
of numerous other cases.
1t is expected that autoists win
have very strong and urgent petit
ton for road improvement when the
new board of county commissioners is
sworn in next week. Quite number
of local dealers send cars through the
county two and three times a week,
and every machine. which has been
lately to any distance has expert
enced serious trouble with the roads.

Mayor Hinrichs will represent the
city of Pensacola, and will ride in the
car in the inaugural parade, to take
place next Tuesday at Tallahassee.
1t is planned to reach the state cap
ital some time early Monday, in
which case the city's car will be
cleaned up and decorated and will
then be assigned place in the
parade.
The commissioners, through the
mayor, have acknowledged an invita-
ton to be represented in the inaug-
ural parade, and have sent on word
that the car will be there.
For the purpose of clearing up the
calendar of all pending business, the
commissioners yesterday decided to
hold their meeting on next Friday
afternoon, several objects being at
! tanned with this arrangement. Mon
day will be holiday, and on Tuesday
the mayor and possibly one of the
commissioners will be absent, to
probably be out of the city for three
days.

By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

The net of the Teuronir allies is
apparently fast closing in on Braila,
Roumania's oil and gram center on
the Danube.
Following the capture of Filipeeh-
ii, thirty miles to the southwest, Won
Mackensen's forces have taken the
railroad town of Rimnik Sarat, the
same distance to the east.
The Teutonic army In pobrudja is
bombarding the bridge head of Mat
chin, on the east bank of the Danube,
opposite Braila.
Before the fall of Rirnnik- Sarat
the Germans defeated the Russians
on the front ten and q half miles
southwest of the town.
Petrograd admits that the Russo
Roumanians have been rorced to re-
tire. Berlin claims the capture of
nearly nine thousand prisoners since
December %.
Except for minor infantry attacks
in Galicia, Volhynia and the Carpath-
ians, only artillery engagements have
taken place on other fronts.
The British foreign office declares
that the rehabilitation of the Greek
army in accordance with promises to
the entente, is being carried out.
The Russian emperor, in an order
of the day to the Russian army, de-
clares Germany's peace proffer was
made because Germany feels her
complete defeat is near. The emper-
or said that the time for peace has
not yet arrived and he is confident
that the Russian soldiers do not want
peace until the invaders are driver

AZ Assoc1ArED PREss.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Twelve
cities, in which viii be located federal
farm loan banks, were announced to-
day.
It is expected that the new system
will be in operation within sixty
days.
The banks will be located as fol-
lows: Springfield, Mass; Baltimore,
Md; Columbia, S. c.; New Orleans,
La; Houston, Texas; st. Louis, Mo-;
Louisville, KY; st. Paul, Mimi;
Omaha, Neb.; Wichita, Kas.; .Spo-
kane, Wash; and Berkeley, Cali
fornia. :
Stock subscription books of the
banks will be opened probably jan
uary 2, remaining open thirty days.
1t is expected, however, that the
government will have to supply most
of the nine million dollar capital.
Temporary directors, i've for each
bank, will be named probably within
three weeks by the board. AS soon
as borrowers have subscribed $780,
| 900 of stock to each bank, the tenn
porary directors surrender their au-
thority to boards of nine directors
each, six of whom will be named by
the farmer borrowers and three by
the farm loan board.
"In determining the, federal land
bank districts and in designating the
cities within such districts where fed
eral land banks shall be located" the
official announcement says, "the fed
teral farm loan board has given care
full consideration to the farm loan
needs of the country. The board held
public hearings in nearly every state
in the union and in this manner col
lected information of great value in
determining its decision.
every reasonable opportunity has
been afforded applicant cities to fur
nish evidence to support their claim
as locations as federal land banks.
More than Is cities applied to be des-
| ignated as the headquarters of a
bank and were heard though repre-
sentative committees and individ-
| uals."
The banks will be established as
soon as practicable. Each will have
a capital of $750,000. Application
for loans have been pouring into the
board in great volume recently and
| it is estimated that a sum more than
twenty times in excess of the COM
bined capital stock could be used ir
making loans.
Almost the first work of the banks
after approving and issuing. loans
viii be the issuance of farm loar
bonds, a new form of security in this
country. The bonds will be issued il
denominations as small as twenty
five dollars, it is expected, and vii
bear interest at rate one per cen
less than the interest rate charged
farmers on their loans.
What this interest rate will be ha
not been definitely determined. It i
limited by law to a maximum of 81,
per cent. The expectation is that
will not exceed 5 IL per cent at frs
and subsequently, may be lowered.

farm management records show that
farms are often either too small or too
large for the most successful farming.
There may be too few as well as too

A Wisconsin farmer with a large

entire farm was paid for and enough
additional money saved to build good
house and barn. The smaller farm had
been Improbable because the over
head expenses were too high for so
small business. In this case acres
were made profitable by increasing
their number.
A North Dakota farmer owned three
quarter sections Of land. His farm
was quite heavily mortgaged. and for a
number of years he had not been able
to pay interest in full. His family was
small. and for most Of the work he had
to depend on hired help. He concluded
that under the circumstances he was
working or trying to work too many
acres. Finally he sold one quarter Sec
ton and paid his debts. Seven years
later he had $1,000 in the bank. In
this case all the acres had previously
been Improbable because there were

Diseases Of plants do much injury
from a lack of application of reliable
curative methods. The most impor-
tant Of remedial and preventive meas
ures combined is cleanliness. Spraying
alone may be overdone, whereas when
used in combination with other meas
ures the success may be greater and
the cost less.
1t is estimated that in the United

is more than $6,5OO,OOO, from loose
