MAKE 1T ABRUPT.

For years ST. Louis was shattered by
automobile horns and whistles ceaseless1y
and senselessly blown. On February 80,
1912, st. Louis passed an ordinance which
rid the city of all unnecessary noise of that
description. That ordinance reads as fol-
lows:
every motor vehicle or motorcycle while be-
ing used upon the streets, alleys and public
places of the city, shall be provided with suit
able bell, horn other signal device, and it shall
be unlawful for any person to use any device
which will not produce ABRUPT sound suffi-
GENTLY loud to adequate warning of
danger, and it shall be unlawful for any person
operating any motor vehicle motorcycle to
make to be made any unnecessary noise
with any such bell, horn other signal device,
or to use the same except as a warning of dam
ger"
AS result St. Louis is not only freed of
noise, but the occasional abrupt signal
makes the streets safer than continued
blasts, because the appeal to the attention
is more startling.
We need some such ordinance in Pen
sacola.

GOVERNMENT DOES 1T CHEAPER.

That the government should have saved
million dollars on building the Arizona
itself, instead of letting the contract to pri-
vate yards, taken. in connection with the
estimated saving of nearly so per cent in.
armor plate at the government arn1or plant
for which authorization has recently been
made, more than justifes every claim made
in behalf of government construction.
When, by order of Secretary Daniels,
naval constructors at the New York yard
furnished estimates of the cost of building
the Arizona, they named a figure so low
that bureau chiefs for long time simply
would not believe that such miracle were
possible Only after the estimates had
been gone over time and time again, and
checked from every possible direction, was
the wsrk authorized.
Battleships 43 and A will also be built
by the government, bids by private manu-
facturers having exceeded the limit fixed
by Congress-
In line with the administrations policy
of putting the navy yards on a better pre-
paredness basis, so that increased building
program could be more efficiently and eco
nonically carried out, President Wilson on
February Is signed the bill making imme-
diately available 100000 for facilities for
building warships at the Mare Island yard.
The recent naval bill in addition carried a
$4,000 900 appropriation for improving and
equipping the navy yards at Philadelphia,
New York, Boston, Portsmouth, New Or
leans, Charleston and Puget Sound. The
amount to be spent at each place is entirely
optional with the navy department.
Portsmouth, Charleston and New Or
leans were inserted for political reasons,
and the real equipment contemplated is at
Philadelphia, Boston, Norfolk and Puget
Sound, which with the New York yard al
ready equipped to build capital ships will
enable our government to face any crisis.
Private ship yards may after the war be
willing to take government contracts at a
lower figure. than they now ask, in which
event they will get their share of the bust
ness, for the government wants to encour-
age the private yards as far as possible. The
government, however, has added a compe-
tition that will save millions of dollars of
the public money

AMERICAN SHIPPING.

Seven hundred vessels added to Ameri-
can registry during the two-year period
ending June 80, 1916, show the enormous
growth of the American maritime business.
These ships bring the total of American
ships engaged in foreign trade to 3,135.
The Importance of the Wilson shipping
bills to our commerce can hardly be esti-
mated. In ten months after the passage
of the act of August Is, 1914, AT foreign
built ships, record breaking figure were
added to the American merchant fleet This
brought American shipping up to 1873 bot
toms, or little over a third of what it now
is.
Further development has been steady,
and America has today a million and a
quarter tons on the ways-a greater ship
building activity than any other country in
the world can show

MEDICOS ASK TO
HAVE LICENSE WAIVE

A committee of five physicians,
representing the Escambia County
Medical Society, presented petition
to the board of city commissioners
in, special session Tuesday, and re-
quested that their license tax be
abolished.
The petition recited that Florida is
one of three states in the entire union
which taxes doctors, and that owing
to the large amount of charity prac-
tice done by the medical men in Pen
saccla, that they should be immune
from taxation. 1t is claimed that
should the city be forced to engage
physicians. to do the charity work
now done by practitioners in Pensa-
cola a special staff of from six to
eight men would be needed.

TALE OF A TAIL.

We learn, from a perusal of The New
York Times of recent date, that there is
definite plan to cut Florida into two states,
with the boundary line at the twenty-n1nth
parallel, the southern boundary of Marion
county, and taking in part of Lake county
The northern section we are told, will
be named Jefferson, and the southern
section, which you will notice from refer
ence to map of the United States, bears
a striking resemblance to the stub tail on
a dog, will be named Florida.
Just who decided upon this nomencla-
ture we are not told. Yet it is rather inn
portant, don't you think? And then the
average man has a pardonable curiosity to
know how this division is going to be &C
complished; what legal procedure is neces-
sary, for surely there must be more cere-
mony to states increasing and multiply
ing than to germ's-which, after little
time simply splits in half, each half as COM
plete in every respect as the original whole
It appears also from perusal OF the ar
ticle in question that the division senti-
ment is due to prohibition and politics. The
northern part of the state is for prohibi-
ton Git is said) and the southern part is
as wet as King Canute's feet.
Also, the h1lOII-SdlIS llSll IdS ulVluSd
us against ourselves (iti is said) The
northern part of the state is for Knott, and
the southern part is for Cats Gt is said).
Then we are told that there is differ
ence in the character of the people and of
the climate.
These be parlous questions very par
lous indeed that we are afeared to own the
impression we somehow got that South
Florida, being unable to get the capital of
the state into its closer grasp, and lusting
strongly for the emoluments- and the glo-
ries thereof, sware great oath that it
would tear loose from the rest of'the coun-
try.
But whether this be the reason, or
whether the reason is found in the gurgle
of liquor, or whether it is because South
Florida craveth the song of the Cats, or
forasmuch as it's climate is warmer and its
people hotter headed, South Florida is
doomed to sore disappointment, yea like
untosthe sorrow of the tail that waggeth not
the dog

THE APALACHICOLA BRIDGE.

Jackson and Gadsden counties have given
so many evidences of a progressive spirit
in the past that we have no doubt they will
raise the $21 900 each, or 25 per cent of the
sum necessary, to bridge the Apalachicola
river, 50 per cent of which, or $40, 900, will
be supplied by the Federal Road Fund.
To the pride of West Florida be it said
that the bond is practically assured already
in Jackson county, and the issue therefore
depends entirely on Gadsden.
The proposed bridge will be an impor-
tant link in the Spanish Trail and will draw
the two regions closer together, and accom-
plish their mutual development. The Apa-
lachicola is indeed our prosperity Rubicon
lets cross it!

THE SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY.

Roosevelt's teeth, Taft's waddle,
and Hughes whiskers are the princi-
pal phases of the republican cam
paign.
Wilson instead of going on tour,
will stay at home and amuse himself
by feeding the Sacred White Goat"
of the republicans.
The average man doesn't lie to his
wife on purpose. 1t is just due to
absent mindedness, caused by won
dering whether he married her, or
whether she married him.
1t may have occurred to The Nash
vile Banner that one reason why
men kiss girls is that they get tired
of seeing the dear creatures chew
gum.
Never having heard a farmer say
"goshallhemlock," we are not certain
that such an old-fashioned parsonage
ever existed, consequently we are not
making any inquiries after him.
Greece Is practically in the war
already, and Spain is now reported
to be contemplating a little flyer in
belligerency. That win leave only
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the
Republic Of San Marfno at peace.
The Buffalo Evening News wants
to know what answer should have
been made when the small boy asked
daddy, is Mr.. Roosevelt a Boy
Scout?" Teddy is the enfant terrible
| of the republican party and the
youthful inquirer should have been sc
| informed.
Referring to the fact that the very
guarded childhood of royal person.
ages is responsible for their falling
victims to childish ailments at ar
age when most people are over sucf
troubles, the London Observer recall.
''that the king himself, was most in
conveniently attacked by measles JUS
at the time of Queen Victoria's
death, and was unable to be present
at the funeral of her late majesty
Evidently it is one of the divine rights
of kings to have measles when Other
people are doing something else, but
does this privilege extend to falling
off a horse at the battle front?

pany was formed with $4,000 capitali-

In Mariana, one of the stores is max
ing speciality of purchasing all the toma-
toes canned by the Girls Canning Club.
Coming still closer home, we read in the
Milligan Journal that hog sales are steadily
increasing, and shat even now eight or ten
wagons are making regular trips to that
region from the Andalusia (Ala.) packing
plant for hogs.
Here in Pensacola, boat line has been
enlarged to accommodate increased bust

Association has been formed to develop the

EniOys Nonentities-

Enjoys N0nentItIeS-
Next to the magnificent tributes
that are so frequently showered upon
US by the big, broad-minded, gener-
ous-spirited papers of this state
which classification includes all ex-
cept about half a dozen of Florida's
publications-we enjoy the yapping
and swapping of few, little, obscure
journalistic nonentities which have
the unwarranted hatred all very
small creatures entertain for one who
is striving to do the honest and con-
scientious work of which they are in
capable. Among the newspaper pro-
fession of Florida we thank God for
our friends, and we take sincere pride
also in noting our enemies.-Lake-
land Telegram.
Pure-Bred Hogs
Jefferson county farmers have
made a discovery. You have often
heard how much money one could
save if he did not have to spend so
much. Well Jefferson county farm
ers propose to save some of the
money which they have been spending
uselessly. There is a great deal of
expense in harvesting and marketing
crops. Furthermore, the market will
pay a bigger price for finished pro-
duct than for a raw product. Conse-
quently these jefferson farmers are
going into the manufacturing bust
ness.
They are buying hogs, pure-bred
hogs, too, with which to harvest their
raw product and through which they
expect to market those same products
as meat. The hog makes a good har-
vesting machine and when he is
through with a crop it has increased
to several times its original value.
Furthermore, he is capable of taking
the crop to market on his body

Points to Prosperity

FOInls 10 Prosper1ty-
One of the many signs that are
pointing to the future prosperity of
Florida, is the interest being taken
in the importing and breeding of pure
bred stock. This movement is be-
coming general throughout the state
and is not confined to one class of
stock alone, much interest being
shown in breeding better hogs, cattle
and sheep. This is line of devel-
opment that is sure to return great
profits to the promoters of it, and
will add much to the general pros
perity of the stata-Milton Gazette.

Epoch Making Event

Epoch Making Event
The organization of the West
Florida's Cattle Growers Association
at Magnolia farm last week, is an
epoch making event for West Florida.
There is no enterprise in which the
people can engage that is as sure of
returning a good income on the in
vestment for along series of years as
that of raising cattle. The worlds
demand for meat is constantly in
creasing, while the actual supply, in
stead of keeping pace with the in
creasing demand is actually decreas-
ing. This condition, while presenting
a picture that is anything but pleas
ing to the general public, who are
approaching time when a daily
meat ration will be rarely among
the masses of the people, does give
assurance of the permanency of a
profitable market for all the meat
animals that this country can pro-
duce. The time was when a stock
grower thought himself fortunate if
he could market his beef at from
S35 to $50 per head, but now, the man
who has well bred and properly cared
for beef stock, gets from SIS to S125
per head fog his 6ss cattle This is
