THE MOVIES AND THE HOME.

A writer recently charged that the NOV
ing pictures are breaking up the American
home. That no longer is the family circle
maintained, but that the father, mother and
the children are off to the movies as soon
as the evening meal is over
That the moving picture audiences are
made up very largely of the family parties
is true, but that the movies are breaking up
the American home is more than question
able. On the contrary, the movies are do
ing their part in bringing together the
component parts of the American home
and giving them an interest in common.
Instead of father spending his evening
growing over the paper or listeing to a re-
cital of the small and often uninteresting
details of family life, while a restless prog
eny make trouble among themselves, the
family is off, evening after evening. on an
excursion of pleasure, following the adven-
lures of the favorite heroes and heroines
IN their hairbreadth escapes on the film.
There is nothing that has more largely
contributed to the annihi1ation of the
American home than has lack of common
interest and amusement between husband
and wife. To be bored is to be restless, and
restlessness breeds discomfort.
Tn moving picture is doing a splendid
part in amusing the American people The
family IS unit and has never before found
any amusement in its reach that had such
appeal for each and every member as do
the moving pictures. 1t is safe to assume
that instead of the movies breaking up the
American home they are doing a great part
IN its consolidation.

REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE
OF DEMONSTRATORS FROM THE
FACTORY OF MAKERS WITH A
THOMAS MACHINE.

Hundreds of people from Office
buildings, ships and vantage. points
along the water front were intensely
interested in an experiment with a
Thomas flying machine Wednesday
afternoon, the feat being that of flying
only a short distance from the surface
of the water, from the naval station
up the harbor, going possibly to a
point off Magnolia Bluff and return
ing over about the same route, and
about the same distance from the
surface of the water. Aviator Burn
side, from the factory where the
Thomas machines are manufactured,
was at the wheel, and as it moved
with the precision of a great bird,
just above the waters surface, it
formed sight that few people cared
to take their eyes from.
The fact that it was Unanswered at
such a low attitude enabled many
persons to watch it with a clearer view
that when they are executing all man
ner of evolutions at dizzy heights,
and as the machine moved on line
as straight as if it was being held
true by great cords, it proved how
much control is possible over this
type, which is being put through such
thorough experimentation here.

FOR A BETTER FAIR.

Predictions are that Escambia county
is to have the best fair, from many stand
points, ever held in this county. There is
much interest among the business men and
the board of directors has taken hold with
a determination to make the fair notable
in many ways.
But the farmers of Escambia county
must bear in mind that the business men
and the directors cannot make successful
fair. It's real success must depend upon
the farmers Every farmer in this section
should already be looking forward to the
fair in some practical way, making some
plan for his exhibit.
A fair exhibit cannot be secured in day.
From planting time to harvest time, there
is work to do, if any real and lasting re-
suits are to be accomplished for the success
Of the fair
Every farmer in this section should look
upon the fair as one of his obligations.
Every farm in Escambia should be repre-
sented at the fair, and in order that the
exhibit may reflect credit upon the ex-
hibitor and the section, the farm should
be making their plans now for the fair in
the fall

A palmer declaration of intention could
only be conveyed by war itselfA
Carranza's colossal bluff is called. Per-
shing is reported to have moved in pro-
hibited direction and the Trevino lightning
did not blast him. Carranza himself has
made a speech in the City of Mexico in
which he ate goodly portion OF his brag-
gadocio. He knows that if he wants war
he can get it, with more pepper than even
his tamale-taste can stomach. If he can he
will back down; and then it will be our
problem to see that he keeps his promises.
He has never kept them yet, but hence
forth Uncle Sam will not be quite so lenient
with the whiskering statesman south Of the

WEST FLORIDA PREPARED.

Good for West Florida patriotic country
folk-endorsing so heartily Pensacola's
Preparedness Parade of July 4.
If anything was needed to insure the
success of the pageant, it was just this
support.
It was the farmers who fought at Con-
cord and Lexington and fired the shot
that was heard around the world and with
the farmers marching with US on July 4,
the celebration of our independence ami
versary will be still greater triumph.
SO come, everybody Hitch up the old
nag, crank UP the trusty auto, pile on the
trains until Charley Mann goes absolutely
distracted supplying the rolling stock.
Bring the whole family and in addition to
a patriotic preparedness, let's lay our
heads together for prosperity prepared
ness.
There are marketing problems to be
worked out, packing plant to be built, a
growers exchange will simply have to be
established in Pensacola soon, if develop
ment keeps up at the present rate, and il
you come to town on the Fourth, you can
look around for likely location. of the
headquarters.
Let's meet on July Fourth
