Exports of crude ammonia win be
resumed at Pensacola, and it is un-
derstood that the fruit steamers ply
ing to Gulf ports, instead Of return
ing to the tropics empty as has been
the case in the past, viii take as car
go, this product, which is exported
from q number Of ports by the Ar
mour Company.
The first of these renewed ship
ments is being made on the Norwe-
gian steamship Viator, which arrived
here early yesterday, and which is
loading at berth on the west side of
Commandments wharf. The steamer
viii be ready to go to sea probably
today.
It is stated that the Armour Com
pany has an extensive plant at Ma
tanzas, where the product is utilized.
Extensive concrete docks have been
erected there, and a plant, capable of
filling the demands of the island for
the products, is maintained. Exports
are made at several gulf ports and
this is the second one for Pensacola
The first shipments were disap-
pointing. 1t is understood that the
company secured quite fleet Of
wooden schooners for this work, but
when the marine underwriters dis
covered the use to which the wooden
vessels were to be put to, insurance
was promptly refused. They claimed
that ammonia must be exported il
iron vessels if handled at all, anC
there was nothing else for the com
pany to do but to make other ar
rangements. The chartering of thu
Viator is the result of the first move
in this direction.

will, under this plan, be permitted
not only to compete for the cash
prizes, aggregating more than 81 900,
which are being offered for thrift es-
says, but the winner in each Eounty

MANY TOURISTS IN
CITY FOR SEASON

Scores of. tourists are in the city
for the winter. Many are seen daily
at the water front, which seems to
be the principal point of attraction.
Yesterday afternoon there were an
unusually large number on the docks,
and some of them amused themselves
catching fish. One young lady win
have long story to tell when she re-
turns with her parents to her home in
Indiana, for she landed fifteen at
Palafox wharf during the afternoon,
and the proud fisher grip walked up
Palafox street with the string of
Choppers" as proudly as any old-timer
would have done.
One young man from Illinois yes
terday had his picture taken, holding
a string of fish and sent the pictures
north last night, allowing the camera
to proclaim what a fisherman he
was, though somebody else caught the
fish.
Captain A. Cheatham and wife,
from Birmingham, here for a short
stay, planned to shorten that stay UNI
| til they formed the acquaintance,
through one of the hotel employees,
of Captain Charles Dillon, of the
yacht Idler. They hunted up Capt,
Dillon and enjoyed trip down the
bay and over to the island, where the
beautiful beach charmed them. Re-
turning to the city they ran close to
the smack Alcina, and Capt. julius
of that vessel, gave permission for the
visitors to come aboard to see the 3d.
900 pound catch in the ice boxes
Hot coffee and sandwiches were
served by the captain, and after
reaching the wharf, they expressed
themselves as having enjoyed one Of
the most delightful days of theil
lives.
In appreciation for their pleasure
Capt. Cheatham, previous to his de
Iparture last night, went to Palafo1
wharf, thanked Capt. julius and pre-
sented him with pretty tie. He ais,
sent to Captain Dillon a Xix
present, with the compliments o
himself and wife.

PANAMA CANAL FINE
TRAINING PLACE

New York, Dec. Boa prominent
baseball authority who recently re-
turned from a court of inspection of
the Panama Canal Zone is enthusiast
tic ever the possibilities of that sec
ton as a spring training camp for
big league ball teams. At the request
of the Panama Chamber of Commerce
he studied the proposition from every
angle End reached the conclusion
that the Canal Zone offered every ia
cility fol modern baseball training
that is found anywhere within the
states and some that are usually
missing.
The temperature ranges from II
to SO degrees with an average of SO

innate, more than 10000 school chill
dren participated in the thrift essay
contest last year; Il contestants, rep
resenting states, were awarded
prizes. This year we are asking each
county superintendent to have a con-
test within his county on any plan
which may be deemed feasible, and
to the winner of the contest in each
county there will be presented a
medal. Those medals have been pro-
vided by S. w. Straus, president of
the American Society for Thrift. 1t
is suggested that the county super
intendent give notice of the contest
to each school in the county whether
public or private, rural or city, spec
ify the number of essays to be re-
ceived from each and permit the
school to suggest the manner of Sc
lection. In most counties, patrons
Institutes or teachers Institutes are
held, and we suggest that in making
up the program for one of these, the
writer of the winning essay be asked
to read the same and you award the
medal to the writer 1t that time"
An indication of the widespread
interest in this matter is shown by
the fact that the National Education
association has placed an order for
$500 medals and Secretary D. w.
Springer states he believes the num-
Der of counties competing in the
great American essay contest viii
even exceed this number.

March and April and there is little,
if any, rain during the period when
the ball tossers would be Numbering
for the pennant races of the succeed
ing season. The trip from this city
can be made in six days and the re-
turn to New Orleans in five. 1t has
been suggested that aftez, two
weeks workout at Panama the team
could return by way of Havana and
New Orleans playing exhibition
games in both cities before starting
to work their way north by the usual
returning routes.
On the Isthmus there is every facil-
ity for baseball training and the &C
companying gate receipts that go to
tighten the financial outlay for these
necessary preparatory trips. At Bal
boa, on the Pacific coast side, there
is new and scientifically construct
ed diamond with grandstand seating
5000 military camp, ana Colon there
are other diamonds sufficiently fast
and true for practice work. More
than 10000 troops are quartered at
Empire and there are an equal num-
Der of American civilians in the Ca
nal Zone to draw from as spectators.
There are two leagues playing ball
there at the present time and teams
from these leagues could be drafted
for exhibition games. The Panama
Canal Zone league plays series of
Sunday contests during the season
and the Twilight league has sched
ule of about 140 games.
All this information will be laid be-
fore the major league magnates in
the near future and an effort made to
secure one or more clubs to try out
the possibilities of the Zone during
the spring of 1918. Acting Governor
Chester Harding, General Edwards,
President Valdes of the Republic of
Panama and Governor Arcia of Colon
are all ardent sponsors of the plan
and have assured the ball players a
warm welcome and every comfort and
attention should any q the big lea
que clubs decide to train at Panama.
Carefully compiled statistics of the
trap shooting clubs of this country
show that $3.50 active and 463 inact-
i've clubs are in existence at the pres
ent time. Including Canada, Aus
tralia, Hawaii, and China the list of
clubs of all types reaches the aston
fishing total of 4,666. In the United
Estates, Pennsylvania leads with $50;
New York is second with 384 and IL
Illinois third with BOG. Other states
with. over one hundred clubs include;
California, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio
and Wisconsin.

FEAR CHAMBERS EPIDEMIC
Farmer Of Polk County Loses Three
EiE! Horses From Diseaoe--
..t Veterin lrians Busy.

Des ,Moines, Sept. 13.-Dr. J. |. Glib.
son, state veterinarian, and his as.
sistants are eXerting strenuous eff.
forts in a battle against CHAMBERS, a
contagious disease that attacks horses
which has broken out on the farm of
P. J. Kappelman, north of the city.
Three fine horses on the farm have
already been shot and their carcasses
burned.
The Kappelman farm, which con-
tains a herd of more than twenty
horses, has been placed under quar-
antine by the state officials, who are
making every effort to stamp out the
dread disease before it spreads to 9TH
,er farms.
DR. Gibson says that the examina-
ton of all the horses on the affected
farm has not been completed as yet.
He was unable to say whether more
of the horses would be slain, or not.
The appearance of CHAMBERS among
horses in Iowa has been rare during
the last twenty-five years, according
to stockmen
The disease begins in the form of
ulcers in the nostrils of the animals
and is highly contagious.

NOMINATIONS EMO SEP! 2S
Secretary of State w. s. Allen Rules
That All Petitions Must Be
Filed by That Date.

Des Moines, Sept, 13.-W. S. Allen,
secretary of state, has ruled that Sep
tember %, is the last day for filing pc
titions of nomination for the election
Nov. T.
The prohibition party is the only fac
ton in Iowa which has to use the pc.
tition method of placing candidates on
the ballot. That party failed to poll 2
per cent of the total vote at the last
election and, therefore, lost it's right
to be known In Iowa as a political par.
ty. The hackers of the party at con.
vention at Cedar Rapids named candi.
dates for governor and state offices. If
the positions are filed in time, names
will go on the ballot.
Withdrawals from the ballot can be
filed up to. Oct. T. After that date no
candidate can have his name stricken
from the ballot.
Nine cities of Iowa this fail for the
first time in their history will require
registration. One city which previously
had registration will not require it in
the future.
These changes are due, to the result
of the 1915 census. The state law pro-
vides for registration of voters in cities
of $500 population or over. The nine
cities passed the $500 mark and the
one city in question fell below it.
The new registration cities are Eagle
Grove, Estheryille, Belle PLANE, Iowa
Falls, Knoxville, Missouri Valley, Spen'
Ger, Vinton and Waverly.
Glenwood, which formerly had reg
istration, fell under the $500 at the
last census and, therefore, drops regis
tration this fall.
The law requires that new registra'
ton lists be made up in all cities OF
the state this fall The new lists will
be good for four years. Registration
will be necessary in order for voters to
cast ballots by mail.
