Pensacola Becoming Known
AS City of Hospitality

The Alabama Bankers Association will
convene in this city April 27-29th at the
San Carlos hotel and Pensacola is making
elaborate plans for entertainment of the
delegates.
Pensacola has frequently been spoken of
as city of hospitality, but it is only in re-
cent years thatsit has borne out its reputa-
ton as hospitab1e city, through public
entertaining During the past several
years, however, Pensacola has entertained
a number of conventions, and in every in
stance the success of these conventions has
been largely due to the social features
which have been added, bringing. the visi-
tors IN touch with the citizens, and giving.
the man insight into the hospitable atmos-
pfere of the. town, which could be gained
in no other way
Few cities. have more of. interest.to offer
visitors than has Pensacola at this time
Added to its natural beauties are the avia-
ton. station and the war vessels almost al
ways to be found at this port. The navy
and army officers, at any time of public Ell
tertaining, invariably show a splendid CO
operative spirit, which is of great value in
entertaining those who come to the city.
and on the occasion of the bankers. con
vent1on Fort Pickens will be visited and
the great gun batteries inspected; there will
be aviation flights specially arranged, a trip
through the aviation camp, visit to Fort
Barrancas, and other points of interest
Golf and tennis tournaments have been ar
ranged, banquet will be rendered by the
banks of Pensacola, there will be music and
dancing in.the trellis. room of the San Car
los, and at the Country Club, and automo-
b1les rides about the city and its environs.
Pensacola IS fast learning the value Of
making this city a-sociaIcentre as well. as a
business centre. Pensacola's hospitality is
advertising this section in a way well
worth while, and nothing goes farther to
show this than its growing popularity as
convention city.

West Florida Should Have
Large Attendance At Roads Meeting

John M. Calhount of Mariana, president
of the West Florida Highway association,
has issued notice that there will be a joint
meeting of the West Florida Highway As
ISOLATION and the Middle Florida High
way Association at Tallahassee on May
9Th, to which a cordial invitation has been
extended all who are interested in the good
roads movement.
Every man who can arrange to do so
should attend this meeting, for there is
nothing more important to the develop
ment of West Florida at this time than the
building and up-keep of the highways, and
Escambia county, and particularly Pensa-
cola, is especially interested at this time in
the movement for good roads.
At the meeting to be held at Tallahassee
in May men from West and Middle Florida
will meet to formulate plans and to discuss
poss Whites for state development, and
every an who can do so, no matter what
his procession, should make an effort to be
present.

Banks OF The State Will
Lend Money To Boys

Every banker in the state has been asked
to foster the pig clubs. The State Bank
ers' Association which met in Daytona
April 7th and 9th, recommended that the
banks in each county advance, money at 6
per cent to the pig club boys. OF course,
the money must be used to buy pure-bred
pigs, and the pigs must be raised accord
ing to club rules, according to the agricul-
tural news service of the University of
Florida
c. L. Harrington, boys club agent
for the university extension division,
submitted form of agreement be
tween boys and bankers. This form
was approved by the association.
This is the first action taken by
bankers to make the pig club move
rnent statewide The banks of several
counties have agreed to advance
money for pigs. It is probable that
most of the banks in every county will
see fit to lend the money now that the
association has acted.

Mexican Developments Reflect
Our international Situation

The seriousness of our relations with
Germany is indicated by our policy IN Mex
leo. Under Torreon date line, comes an
innocent looking little dispatch that ar
engagements are being made for the with
drawal of American troops.
OF course, this may be only eanard
after all But this is just what our gov
eminent would do, in the case OF eventual
tiles with Germany. Briefly stated, our
campaign against Mexico will depend on
our relations with Germany; whereas the
idea that has all along prevailed in the Ger
man bureau of strategy is, that our policy
towards Germany would depend on how
busy we were kept by our neighbor south
of the Rio Grande.
To any student Of international affairs
especially to one with a knowledge OF so
cial and political conditions in Mexico,
nothing could be clearer than the fact that
Germany has been financing and foment-
ing the hostility of Mexico to the United
States-a hostility of which we have abun-
dant proof not only from the bandits OF
that county, but also from the recognized
government Germany, of course, did this
in order to eliminate the United States from
its international calculations.
But given the choice of war with Ger
many and war with Mexico, the United
States will choose the former, not only be-
cause it is the bigger and more formidable
country, but for the very sound tactical
reason that Mexican aggression against
the United States is possibility too Chi
merical even for the comic supplements,
and our difficulties with Carranza-of-the
flowing-whiskers can very nicely wait
while we are giving our undivided atten-
ton to serious foe.

Florida Newspapers Largely
Contribute To Upbuilding OF State

The annual session Of the Florida Press
Association was one of the most success
full In the history of the state, and was at.
tended by editors from every section OF
Florida. In speaking of the meeting just
closed, The Industrial Index, published in
Columbus, Ga, says:
Annual sessions of the Florida Press
Association are enjoyable as we'll as
profitable occasions, and the one just
held at Kissimmee further emphasized
the fact. The Florida editors inject
into the proceedings of their meetings
the business-like methods that make
their publications successful, with the
result that the annual sessions contain
much that is of real value to publish
er. The social feature of these gath
erings is always most delightful
No state in the union has newspa-
pers that contribute more to its
growth and the upbuild;ng of its
towns and communities than Florida
Not many states have newspapers that
contribute as much. The Florida
newspapers are frst-class newspapers,
and being such they are we'll patron
lied and prosperous.
1t would be hard to find a Florida
newspaper that misses an issue in tell
ing of attractions and resources of
Florida and this has caused hundreds of
thousands of people and millions of
dollars to go into Florida The state
has no asset that is more valuable than
its newspapers.
