WE MUST HAVE THE MEN!

Are we or are we not to have a militia
company?
That's the question men are asking
now.
For though Company I has been mus
tered into the state guard, it will not be
drafted into federal service unless there
are at least one hundred men at the formal
inspection, which will be made early this
week.
We need eight to reach the minimum re
euirements But we need more than eight
to make a full comPany-as good COM
pany as smaller towns than Pensacola are
offering to the national need. We need
twenty-five or thirty, that vacancies may
be filled in case any Of the present enroll
ment have to drop out.
Is there anybody who doubts that the
thirty can be secured today, if the work is
gone about in the right way2
BY this we mean that not only should
the present members of Cmpany | devote
their full attention to recruiting, but that
they should be assisted by the people at
large.

ANOTHER WEEK OF RED CROSS.

Following right on the heels of the great
war subscription, it was inevitable that the
Red Cross fund should drag. Enthusiasm
was a trihe jaded; purses were nightly de-
pleted. The whole country is twenty per
cent behind in its Red Cross subscription,
consequently Pensacola need not think
that in raising only $4,000 of the allotted
$4,000, it alone has luked. In fact, Our
per centage is considered higher than in a
number of Placcs-in Jacksonville, for in

Why eat last years corn while har-
vesting this years? Why lose the very
best there is in corn by not using it
when it's fresh, clean, and sweet? These
queries, by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, are directed at those
who have always eaten old degermed.

nutlike flavor of new cornmeaL In some
states, says corn expert of the depart
ment, this flavor is unknown or is mere
ly matter of memory with the old set

run by water wind, gasoline or other

Instead of merely eating more corn
as a necessary war measure, it is urged
that Americans should appreciate and
exercise the privilege of eating better
corn. Insteal of degerming corn to pre-
vent it's spoilage, and instead of bleach
ing and securing it to remove odors
and impurities, it might better be eaten
while it is still fresh pure and sweet.
To have this privilege the meal must
be ground locally from new corn. Yet
practically all of the commercial meal
of the northern and western states dur
ing the fall months when this new corn
is readily available is the product of old
degermed commercial corn. In Novem-
Der some of the crop is dry enough to
leave the farms, and the meal from
this corn does not get back to the farm

nary cornmeal of commerce. In that

ing each pit. The method may be modi-
fed by placing the vegetables in long
ridge rather than in conical piles with
earth dividing the ridge into small sec

emily opened without disturbing the re-
mainder of the stored vegetables.
Most vegetables suitable
should not be harvested and stored UNI
til cool weather arrives or about the
time of the first killing frost. However,
Irish potatoes should be harvested as
soon as they reach maturity, and if
basement or outdoor cellar storage is
available, they should be stored immedi-
ately. They should not be stored in
banks or pits until the weather gets
cool. Onions should be put in storage
as soon as they are matured and thor
oughly cured or dried.

several types of storages and for hand
ling the various vegetables which may

ficency of sugar. They are found some-
times when the juice has been boiled to
too great a concentration before the adj

dries and is eventually carried into the
finished product, seeding it with crystals
In grape jelly-making crystals may be

small portion of apple jelly juice, or,
better orange pectin solution, as sug-
gested in Farmers Bulletin No. $50, en-

Don't have cloudy jelly. This may be
due to having cooked the fruit too long
before straining the Juice or to- not
having used sufficient care in straining.

Uncooked Chow-Chow

For uncooked chow-chow, chop fine one
peck of tomatoes, salt them well and
let them stand over night. In the morn
inf drain as dry as possible and add half
as much cabbage chopped very fine,
one-half dozen chopped onions and
dozen green or ripe peppers chopped
Mix thoroughly, pack in stone jars and

gallon Of very sour cider vinegar, add
one cup of graduated sugar, one-half
cup of ground mustard, one-ha1f cup OF

the sugar, salt and mustard and spices,
add the vinegar gradually until all Is dis
solved, and shake or stir it during the
day until 1t is creamy looking liquid.
Be sure there is enough pickle to cover

jar in cool place. If this is made in
midsummer it is best to seal 1t in glass
but it win keep perfectly without cook

GRIND AND EAT NEWBORN

is fresh and from the new whole grain
1t merely happens that in parts Of the
south where the people know and ap-
preciate the good quality of this fresh,
sweet meal, it is ground largely in the
water-wheel mills using the old-fash-
toned millstones. AS soon as the corn
is ripe it is dried in the sun and then
used while it is fresh and clean In
the commercial meals the germs have
been removed because the oil they con-
tain Is likely to become rancid after
storage, and this tends to spoil the
whole product.
Americans, 1t is urged, are under OBJ
legations to eat more corn, because or
starving nations and a world scarcity
of wheat; yet Americans are eating less
corn than they ate years ago Corn
producing countries are the ones that
should eat it, because it is at its best
when it has not been transported long
distances. For all of these reasons the

THE OUTLOOK


The persistency with which the use of

the effect of keeping the price OF corn
at profitable figure.
UP to the middle of July more than
by the federal farm loan board The
the rates of interest charged by bank
ers have been most excessive. Texas
leads with loans of more than $1,000 900.
The potato crop promises to be record
breaker, and already prices are settling
around normal The crop reports on
the whole are favorable and there would
be no trouble feeding our allies If the
U-boats did not exact SUCH enormous
toll.
With feed excessively high and dairy
ing precarious the temptation to sell the
cows is strong The bad effect of this
policy is both instantaneous and cumu-
lative. When the COW goes to the butch

stroyed.
When the President appealed to the
farmers to do their best he neglected
to call the attention of the weather man
to the imperative need of good harvest

fered with the hay and wheat harvest,
and caused serious losses, while in
Others excessive drought brought ruin.

KING GEORGE IS FOR REPRISAL PROGRAM

LONDON, Nov. 7.-The king and queen paid surprise visit yesterday afternoon to one of the bombed dis tricts of London and talked for two hours with victims. Speaking to To- cal clergyman, the king said:
 ''I wish people who are against re- taliation could see this wreckage"
 While admitting the existence of widespread popular dissatisfaction over the apparent immunity with which Zeppelins railed England Fri day night, majority of morning pap CTS take more sober view than that shown by Saturday and Sunday pap CTS. The story of the raid is still ra- ther obscure and no official explana- tion has been made of the absence of gunfire in the London area or of the escape of the raiders from England. While the raiders were not attacked by gunfire in London, they were bom- barded considerably elsewhere and there is reason to believe that one was so damaged that it left England under imperfect control. It is suggest ed that the authorities had reasonable grounds for believing that the Zep- pelins would be unable to find Lon don owing to the darkness and the height at which they were travelling and the firing of guns and the flash ing of searchlights only could have re- vealed the targets.

KAHN sTIRs SENSATION
 BY DRAFT STATEMENT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 7.- Representative Julius Kahn of Cali fornia, if he wanted notoriety certain ly secured it today.
 He is member of the House Military Affairs Committee and he said today that if the contemplated legislation is passed in the next ses- sion of Congress boys from sixteen to twenty-one and men over thirty one will be liable to be drafted for service in the United States Army.
 Coming at this junction when the selective draft even as moder- ately ordained as the present COZ acription law is, can hardly be de- scribed as excessively popular, if Kahn wanted to say something likely to embitter opposition nothing could more effectively do so than this state ment now given to the pubic.
 This is really the first intimation that the public has received that the Congress has even been considering such an extension of the draft sys- tenn and naturally it is stirring up quite commotion in many circles.
 Kahn is a progressive who was re- elected to the present Congress from San Francisco despite considerable op- position from democrats and from old guard republicans. He has been an ardent associate to Hiram Johnson in the progressive politics of the Gold en States.
 His statement today has had an electrical effect in circles which have been in somewhat extensive promin- ence with reference to the draft law.

HELPING THE TRANSFORMING
 PROBLEM

When thc announcement is made by the Boston and Maine railroad that there will be nearly 400 passenger trains discontinued. it calls attentfen to the problem which tHe railroads of the country are facing in handling the transportatior, question. Tremendous
 demands are being made upon the
 transportation systems The demands are of course abnormal, they dc not represent a regular development, but come with a suddenness which makes it impossible for the roads to obtain the necessary equipment at once to handle them.
 It is important that the various sec tions of the country should receive the proper supply of coal. Such can not be done if the rolling stock Is be- ing utilized for other purposes and if it is not revasvad there is a serious handicap plaasss xpon the manufac- turing establishments as we'll as the individual.
 It is important also that every en- deavor should be made to see that there Is adequate distribution ot food stuffs Everything suffers if that does not flow in steady volume sufficient to meet the requirements.
 And it is equally important that there should be the proper facilities for the transportation of material for turning out war orders. for the con- veying of finished product from one section to another which is required in adding the necessary equipment for army and navy, while there must all so be proper attention devoted to the trans sportation of troops and the inn mediate supplies which they require.
 The railroads of the country are hard pressed to meet all the require ments. It is necessary that there should be full cooperation. Freight congestion makes it necessary to cur tail the passenger service and the Boston and Maine will not be the only road which will have to cut off some of such trains. 4 change in that ser vice will cause some little protest but it can he more easily met than the problems which go with a freight tie up.
