Everywhere in the city is seen the uncov-
cred garbage can-even on Palafox street.
Then too the weeds in many parts of
the city are two or three times higher than
the limit established by law-unsightly
and dangerous. In addition there are
other unfortunate conditions that can cas-
lily be corrected.
Pensacola has already had one cleanup
week this year; its sanitary Condition was
found good, but vigilance must never re
lax if it would continue so.
Where private individuals refuse to COM
ply with the sanitation laws, the. city has
tic authority to attach the propertv-and
this is a right that should be invoked when
ever necessary. Most important of all, it

CAVALRY'S MODERN USE

Capture of stranded German subma-
rine by French cavalry the other day recalls
>he exploit of the French Hussars in 1874
il capturing an ice-bound Dutch fleet
1t appears that the U-boat ran ashore
some miles west of Calais, and the crew
attempted to set fire to the vessel but were
detected by coast guard officer, who sum
moned a cavalry detail, with the result
mentioned.
But interesting though the exploit is,
it hardly suggests a new use for cavalry.
which is still used to greatest advantage
disnounted, and in the trenches.
It was \ercingetori we believe who en-
ployed the cavalry to mobilize the infantry
The loot soldiers would seize the saddle
girths, and in this way the Gallic general
made astonishing marches. But the auto
mobile now covers the ground that the
horse was formerly depended on to do, and
the aviator secs more that its rider ever
was able to find out.
Not that the aavalry will be discarded
cnt'rcly-it still has its uses; but gone are

BIG COTTON DEAL
BY LOCAL FIRM

What is considered the largest sin
gle deal in cotton ever made in Pen
sacola was closed yesterday when the
Harris Allison Company bought $50
bales from H. A. Hughes, of Florala,
at 25 cents a pound.
The cotton was bought laid down
in Pensacola, for a Liverpool Gus
toner of the local firm, and will be
shipped soon via New Orleans. The
price paid is better than that offered
in Mobile, New Orleans or MontCwn-
cry, and for the quality is really
25 1-2 cents a pound. Dealers here
feel gratifed at the beat" of Pen
sacola's biggest competitors.
This is the first sale on the local
market for some time, and the gen
eral market has been undergoing
great fluctuations. Summer months
are always slack, however, and the
cotton season opens soon. Local
dealers stated yesterday that indi-
cations point to an excellent seasHMs
as the crop is good and the price
we'll up.

The SCRATCH PAD.
BY THOMAS EWING 0ARMEY.

Military note, passed by the cen
sor: The American boys are strongly |
entrenched in the French girls affec
tions.
Though Hindenburg is not quoted
as often as formerly, there Is ample
evidence that he is as strategic as
ever.
1t wanted only the praise of the
crown prince to prove that the sub
marine war will fail, and that has just
been vOuchsafed.
Although a peace note has issued
from the glowing whiskers of the
Hon. Jim Ham Lewis, we note with
considerable astonishment that the
battle still RACES.
Even though it is necessary to re
sort to cOnscription to make the world
safe for democracy, it will not be nee
essary to invoke this principle to Sc
cure candidates for the next cleo

A New Orleans clergyman laments
that six women have killed men in
that city within the last fifteen
| months. They are: Mrs. E. J. Smith,
| who killed her drunken husband when
. he tried to strangle her; Mrs. August
! AIiguez, who killed Antonion Di
! Franco, who slandered her and when
| she protested, spat in her face; Mao
| ma Myers, negress, who claimed Il
! white man tried to break into her
! home; Mrs. Pascal Peterson, who kill
! ed her husband trying to kill her
for no apparent reason; Mrs. Carrie
| Reems, who killed A. J. Behan, when
under the influence of liquor he at
| tackled her, and Miss Violet Dendi-
| ger, who killed her betrayer. Touching
| indeed, is the lesosn the clergyman
draws from the text, 'the female of
| the species is more deadly than the
male" and he makes a stirring appeal
to womanhood not to put itself in
| the wrong like this-totaIly over
| looking the fact that his own logic,
| which was in manifest sympathy with
the men, these women made exaIts6
sacrifices in defending themselves by
! keeping the men from staining their
| hands in blood!

GOD SPEED!

The second great day in the life of Pen
sacolas boys is at hand-the departure for
the training camp. The first was when
they ioined-the inefable thrill of the call
itself; others will be when they embark
fer France, when they leave for the front
itself, and when finally they come march
ing home.
America, its aspirations and its accom-
pishments, are type6ed in this company
Ours was a peaceful nation; unpreparcd;
unwilling to give up the ideals of universal
brotherhood even in the face Of brutal and
unprovoked attacks. We hoped the mad
ness would pass We turned the other
cheek. We spoke the soft word. But the.
time came when we could no longer blind
our eyes to the intention of Our fOes-thc
common enemy of mankind. America
must either fight or else miserably submit.
And so America declared War-utterlv
unprepared
But though we did not have an army,
VIC had men, and from every walk OF life
they came in answer to the call-the rich
est and the poorest, jostling each other to
get to the recruiting desk. Even so is Com
1,any |, made up of farmers, Clerks labor
ers, mechanics; men who gave up lucrative
POSITIONS sacrificed ambitions and severed
precious ties; men who were not obliged
to go-banded together in the brotherhood
OF chivalry, seeking the Holy Grail of patri-
OtiSm.
AS America is not military nation, so
these men are without military ambition
like their forefathers of Lexington. VALLEY
Forge and Yorktown, they would rather
5be at their plow their desk or their
machine than pursuing the avocation of
Mars, glorious though it be. For it is not
glory for which Americans are fighting,
have always fought, but something in
finitely greater-it is freedom, humanity
and civilization.
And that is why America did not hes-
tate, once the issue was plain, as a merely
military people might hesitate to engage
superior foe. Their spirit rose above
such earthly considerations. and it is this
spirit that has conquered in the past, and
is overcoming obstacles now; it is the spirit
that make our militia bows so self conf
dent today-untrained though they are, it
will no take them long to learn military
routine, and they already understand tie
lofty meaning of the words "Carrv Onr
Pensacola is proud of its militia, which
today begins the preparation that NAV be
compared with the vigil of knighthood,
and when at last it receives tile accolade
and fares forth to right the wrong. Pcnsa-
cola will be proudcr, and follow in spirit
the great quest and try to make itself

of winter as our fleets patrol these shores

They stop laying and grow new

During the moulting period. as

American breeds (Plmouth Rocks,

begin to lay when about seven months
old. Leghorns. Minorcas. etc. begin
when about six months old.
Therefore. If we hatch chickens ear

when the hens are molting.
