large amount of track running along
the shore beyond the bayou was TORN
up, and the wreck of the big car add

Smack Emily Cooney, From
Snapper Banks, Brings
Evidence" Here.
VARIOUS PIECES
VESSELS SIGHTED.
Believed That Number of
Ships Went to Wreck In
= the Late Storm.
VARIOUS PIECES
VESSELS SIGHTED.

I'VE sailed through wreckage for
sixty miles in the gulf" said fisher
man of the smack Emily Cooney,
which had just arrived with a good
catch of snappers and groupers from
a trip to Campeachy. "All kinds of
things are afloat, empty gasoline
tanks, boards, pieces of ship houses,
spars, parts of rails, and many other
parts, which must have come from
vessels which went down either in the
storm of the 18th or at other times.
Anyway know there was any
amount of wreckage for about sixty
miles, and this was about forty miles
off Pensacola light
The Emily Cooney, consigned to the
firm of E. E. Saunders & Co., her
owners and operators, is just in from
Campeachy, and brought uearly TO-
600 pounds of red snappers and a lit
tie more than 10000 pounds of
groupers. When this vessel was COM
ing up to the bar Tuesday night, she
passed and hailed the first smack seen
since the storm. eve saw nothing of
the smack Caviare, and were not over
that way. We went across, though"
As an evidence Of the miles of
wreckage through which they had
passed, the fishermen grabbed what
they could as the smack continued to
eliminate the distance between PEN
sacola and her position. Several
pieces of what appeared to have been
a vessels rail, empty gasoline cans,
boards, ETC., were strewn about the
deck Of the Cooney, and it was stated
that pieces of spars and the remnants
of ships cabin were passed. Moth
ing has been seen that would serve
to identify any possible storm victim
which had gone down, but the large
number of new boards reported tc
have been sirkted indicated that
either some vessel had lost deckloaC
or had been lost altogether, during
the heavy storm.

WEEK
DESIGNATED
by THE MAYOR
All Citizens are Urged to Co
operate in Making Pensa-
cola Clean City.
JULY "a TO %
IS DESIGNATED.
Mayor Hinrichs Issues Proc
larnation Covering the
Official Appeal.

Mayor George Hinrichs has issued
a ringing appeal to the people Of
Pensacola to make it an absolutely
clean Pensacola.
Whereas, 1t is necessary" so the
mayors proclamation reads that
our city and all citizens, should take
every precaution to prevent the breed
ing Of mosquitoes, flies ard other dis
ease-issen9inating insects, to eradi-
cate and exterminate the germs Of
disease and causes thereof, and that
the parks and public places of the
city, and all private premises, should
be put in a clean and sanitary condi-
ton SO as to protect the health and
promote the welfare and happiness Of
all citizens.
".Now, therefore. I. Geo. H. Hin
richs, mayor of the city of Pensacola,
do hereby proclaim the week of July
"a, 1916, Cleanup Week in the city
of Pensacola, and in doing so earnest
ly request every property holder, ev-
cry tenant and every person in charge
of any property in the city to have
such property cleared of all weeds,
grass, filth and rubbish Of all kinds,
and to thereafter keep the same in
good condition as is required by the
ordinances of the city. During said
week. the city Of Pensacola will, to
the fullest extent possible, cause all
parks and public places to be put in
q ike condition"
Teams Needed.
Then the proclamation, because Of
the pressure of clearing up debris left
from the storm, asks that all public
spirited citizens who have teams, lend
them to the city to assist in hauling
away any rubbish placed for removal
to the city crematory: "And I trust
that every citizens will show suffi-
cient pride in the city by assisting in
every way possible, to make this
cleanup campaign the success it
should be-" the proclamation con-
cludes.
1t was stated at the city hall yes
terday that all the teams of the city
street department will be busy for
| some days, removing trees and repair
ing streets. There are several pri-
vate teams now being used by the
street department, which have been
loaned the city to hasten the cleaning
Of the streets. Therefore, the need Of
an additional number of teams will
make it quite a perplexing question
to. work out unless the city gets the
use of more private wagons.
Mayor Hinrichs stated that he
hoped that the people would co-op-
crate in this effort on the part of
the city. eff every tenant would help
just a little by cleaning up their own
premises and in. front of their homes
on the street frontage, this would be,
like it should, the prettiest city of its
size to be found anywhere"

One day last week Mrs. Walter
Archibald of this city lost bar pin
in which was mounted a large and
valuable diamond, worth several
hundred dollars. Search was made
for the missing trinket in all con-
ceivable places where it was thought

out avail. A reward of fifty dollars
was offered for its recovery. Fri
day evening a lad brought the pin
to the lady, but the stone was not
in the mounting. The boy returned
to the spot where ne had picked up
the pin, and after scratching around
in the dirt finally came upon the
missing sparkler. Mrs. Archibald
was made happy. as was also the
fortunate finder, who was made to
feel quite rich with the fifty.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . :
YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . :

When the banker accepts your ac-
count and gives you q pass book and
a check book, he has the right to ex-
pect certain things from you, as you
have the right, legally and morally,
to expect certain things from him.
In the first place, he has the right
to expect a profit from your account.
Banking Is an expensive business. It
costs certain amount to handle ev-
cry check that passes through the
bank, and every account should con-
tribute portion toward the expense
Of the bank, however small. When
your banker asks you TO keep a GER
tain balance, he is merely asking his
right to profit from your account.
It is easily to be seen that if you
keep small balance, say ten dollars.
and the banker furnishes you with
stationery. does the necessary book
keeping on your account (for your
benefit as well as his). the earning
power of that ten dollars, ever 81 y
were all invested at ptr aent,
would be insufficient to lnpensate
him for the cost attending that ac-
count. Therefore, be generous and
give him a chance to make a profit:
for as every sale of merchandise
should show profit, so every bank
account should at least pay It's way
Give him as large a help as you can
possibly kept will help you very
much in his estimation, help your
credit and add to your self respect.
Second; Never overdraw. In ma
tional banks overdrafts are now for
'bidden, but whether they were or
not you have no right to ask it. It
hurts your credit with the banker. 1t
is forced loan without security, and
is poor business practice.
Sometimes an overdraft is allowed
as a matter of accommodation, and
sometimes in order that the credit of
the drawer with the holder of the
check may not be impaired; but it is
bad practice, gets you in wrong all
over, and should neither be asked
nor expected.
Third: Do not draw against "un-
SOAAONNNu by uQCOAsNGLEU
funds is meant checks that have not
been collected For instance, If you
have a balance Of 500, and deposit
800 check and draw your own
check for $3.50, you have taken all
the original deposit and half the
amount represented by the check Just
deposited. The banker must send
that check, let us say, to New York.
and wait for advice that it is paid
before knowing that it has been paid.
And this may take several days. You
are asking him to pay out his money
Just that many days in advance, of
the real receipt of your money by
him, practice which good banks
frown upon and will not allow. Last
ly, draw your checks properly, as
will be outlined in the next talk, and
have your pass book balanced once
"a month. Doing these things con
sistently, your banker will be a good
friend and you will be a good custo-
mer, in favor with one who can do
you many favors.

GALL FOR BOARD OF EDUCATION

A meeting of the State Board of
Education has been called for. April
26 and % in Oklahoma City. While
the call does not specify any partic-
ular subjects to be considered, it is
understood that the perennial topic

stitutions of education will accupy
some of the attention of the board

va, and the University Preparatory
School at Tonkawa, are scheduled
for serious consideration in this con-
nection. 1t is thought to be the in
tention of the b oard to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the resignation
of President Evans of that institu-
tion at as early date as practica-
BILE, and it may be that some steps
will be taken at the meeting this
month looking to that end.
