baubles whose brightness might at
tract, but holding a far deeper and
more sacred meaning than the mere
superficial glitter. For each bead
represents some virtue won or some
fault overcome. There are beads
which stand for health, others for
work, others for achievement, either
in effort or character.
To have won this long string of
beads means much for the building of
character. That the Camp Fire
work inculcates or brings out do
mestic talents is shown very clearly
by the exhibits on display-dainty
handwork, plain sewing, crocheting,
embroidery,-all manner of articles
beautifully made by the Camp Fire
Girls themselves.
There are books, too, which are
proof of the wonderful days spent
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. filled with the
loveliest of wildflowers found in our
woods, and pressed and preserved.
Other books on birds record the ma
tive songsters, and there are many
other exhibits which show how close
~ these girls are brought into touch
with Nature.
In addition to the work which is on
display, there are books which give
the history of the organization.
To really get an insight into the
beauty and the wonderful helpfulness
of the Camp Fire work, one should
visit the Camp Fire booth in COM
pany with one of the members of the
MinnewawaA Camp, and. have the
pleasure of seeing through young
eyes the beauty of service and the in
spiration of work.

CAMP FIRE GIRLS DEN ONSTRATE
BEAUTY AND IMPORTANCE OF WORK

When one enters the agricultural
building and looks down the long
vista where on every side are shown
the wonderful products of nature.
there is given a new and a keener
appreciation of the gifts, with which
this county has been endowed with
SO lavish a hand. But it is not until
one has adjusted the eye and the mind
from the exhibits as a whole and
given attention to detail that one
realizes the great amount of work
which has gone not only to the crea-
ton of the exhibits displayed, but to
their arrangement.
1t is very fitting that the Camp
Fire Girls exhibit should have been
placed here, where the gifts of ma
ture and the results of education are
on display, for both nature and study
are brought closely together in the
work of this organization, which has
come to take such an important place
IN the girl life of America.
The pine boughs, with their resin
Gus, health-giving fragrance, and
their restful beauty make fitting
addition to the background of the
work which is on display-work
which indicates as nothing else could
do, the wide training which is given
through the Camp Fire organization.
The Minnewawa Camp banner, the
insignia of which is a pine tree, made
striking note of color on one side
of the booth, and on the other the
picturesque robe of the Camp Fire
Girl suggested those ceremonials
which are interesting and beautiful
evidences of the inner life. Here,
too, were the great strings of color
ed beads, seeming at first glance only

| Representative of the educational
interests of Pensacola, the exhibit de-
voted to the public schools of the
city and county indicates the variety
and scope of educational activities of
this section as nothing else could do,
for it shows in most comprehensive
way the work of the students, from
the first steps taken in the primary
grades. to the achievements of the
High School, in the four classes of
that institution.
To Miss Emma Chandler, art
teacher, is much of the credit of this
exhibit due, for she has worked un-
tiringly for several years for the sue
cess of this feature of the fair work,
and her efforts have been we'll re-
paid, for the exhibits owe much to
the care with which they have been
arranged.
Not to Miss Chandler alone, how
ever, is the success due, for she has
had associated with her representa-
tives from every school, and the mer-
its of the individual exhibits are
largely due to the work of the teach
ers of the various grades.
The following schools represented
and the teachers assisting Miss
chandler are:

fessor Ross Rogers; Mrs. Schornhersi

PRIZE WINNERS IN SHORT
STORY CONTEST ANNOUNCED.


There has been a great deal of in
terest in the short story contest held
this year for the first time in con-
nection with the fair. The stories
indicated much of merit, and in sew
era1 instances literary talent, the
final decision giving the first honors
to Mr.. Arthur w, Davis, and the sec
ond prize going to Mrs. Lola E.
Strickland.
The prize winning story, Loves
Sacrifice, or The Mystery of Bayou
Chico, is legendary in character, and
is both well conceived and well writ
ten. Mr.. Davis is to be congratulated
on his successful delineation of the
Indian characters about which the
story is woven, and the romantic at
mosphere he has created.
In the second story, Selina's Rebel
lion, by Mrs. Strickland, the other
extreme note has been touched, and
instead of the romantic setting of
Pensacola's past, she has taken the
present time, with its many pressing
activities and its wider outlook for
women, and has constructed a story
which should readily find place in
one of the current magazines.
The first prize, five dollar gold
piece, was donated by Mrs. James
McGibbon. The second prize, is a
bottle of perfume.
The judges were Mrs. Nellie Crav-
ey Gilmore and Miss Celia Myrover
Robinson.

EFFICIENCY.

Use time effectively,
Actions collectively,
Never disjointed, but always connec-
lively;
Making each minute tell,
And ali that's in it swell
To full proportions for those who be-
gin it well;
Wasting no energies, throwing no
strength away,
Forming system that cannot be
beat,
Running so smoothly that those but q
length away
Think it perfection and wholly COM
plete.
Fit it most carefully,
Sometimes cen carefully,
Into each action, but do it right pray
erfully;
Two jerks for getting up,
Three more fer wetting up
Two score for dressing and appetite
whetting up;
For wife's salutation two more are
sufficient;
For eating ones breakfast, dozen
or two;
Twelve strides to the office, if one is
efficient,
And while thus en- route one his
breakfast may chew.
Work not erratically,
But Systematically,
Preaching time-saving to all thus
emphatically;
"Half seconds thrown away,
Saved ere they've flown away,
May in day make minute if shown
wayw
So, if ones life is planned out this sa-
gaciously,
And every moments squeezed dry
of its powers,
1t can be shortened some years by
tenaciously
Using said system to save few
hours!
