CAMP BREAKS UP
ABOUT NOON TODAY

An trains and cars were crowded
Friday with visitors to Palmetto
Beach, where the Woodmen are en-
camped. A light sprinkle cooled off
the atmosphere, making the afternoon
delightful.
Camp Pensacola, Uniform Rank, w.
o. w. will be officially closed at noon
today. Preceding these closing exer-
cises, the final dress parade, to per-
NIT the final judment as to the prize
winning companies, will be held. This
is expected to be the most attractive
feature of the week. Following the
judging Of prize winners, and the pre-
sentation of trophies, both to COM
panies and individuals, the mess call
will be heard, dinner will be served
at IL o'clock, and the Alabama com
panies will board a special train here
at o'clock. Other companies will
go east on the 6:55 o'clock train,
while still others will take reserva-
tons on the northbound train, leav-
ing at 1880 o'clock tonight, for their
homes in Georgia.
Want to Return.
a number were asked yesterday as
to the possibility Of coming back to
Pensacola a year hence. "If left to
the vote of companies" said one uni
formed man hailing from Tuscaloosa,
Ala, 81 believe that Pensacola would
lead by big majority. It is true we
have had bad weather, but you peo-
pie are not responsible for that. Yes,
| believe this is the right encamp-
ment site, all right"
Colonel C. D. Mills would express
no opinion as to where the next en-
campment would be held. 1t is a pref
ty safe bet, however, that Colonel
Mills is not averse to again coming
to Pensacola.
DR.. Elkourie, himself busy prac-
titioner in Birmingham, says that
when he comes to Pensacola, he
Smokes so many cigars, hears and
tells so many funny stories, gets into
such congenial company with the staff
officers on the camp grounds at night
that he finds it difficult to persuade
himself to go to bed. AS a result,
he says, 'tmy voice almost goes bach
on me when I attempt to speak in
public. That was a magnificent re-
ception you people gave to the band
and know the boys will never for,
get it."
He Likes Fish.
IF stayed here, I'd never be afraid
of drowning" remarked jefferson
county man, "for I believe I've eater
enough fish to make me swim wheth
er chose to or not. Fish we get
up home are ice-packed, and there il
as much difference in their taste anC
the ones l have been COMMANDING
myself on at city restaurants tina
one could never tell they were of tn,
same sort. Like fish? Sure. TIL
thing like more than fish is an
other fish. That's why I'm going t
try and arrange for a trip down thi
way in the early fall, and catch then
myself. We have a man in BirIning

like he can't keep away from Gul
coast fishing. I will come with m
team just as often as they come t
Pensacola"
