PROFESSOR HAS NO COON
 DOGS FOR SALE, HE SAYS
Despite Advertisement Counseman Wants It Understood Runs No Kennel Club-It All Came About From
 Story He Told His Glass

J. s. Counselman doesn't know any more what ''coon dog' is than rabbit.
 He thus ayers.
 As matter of fact, he goes further and admits that he doesn't know a coon dog from the side of the house." and he's a professor in Central High school, too.
 Why then, ask perusers of The Age Herald want column did the aforemen- toned dispenser of knowledge run an ad like this in yesterday mornings pa- per:
 FOR sALE-zA Choice lot of coon dogs.
 J. s. Counselman, Room 2SO Central
 High School.
 Now, that brings on more talk.
 Really, MT. Counselman didn't run the ad He didn't know a thing about it. And, confidentially, he was pretty much peeved when he read it. Because. you see, no sooner had he read the lines, following a number of calls at the high school to ask about the coon dogsp in question, than his mind began to revert. And 1t reverted back to the day before.
 Again he could see his class exhibiting a keen disinclination for study. And, again, he could hear himself say to the

REPLY TO THE CLEAN Up"
Fort Barrancas, Fla,

Fort BarranCas, Fla,
July 26, 1917.
Editor of The Journal:
The undersigned takes exception to
an editorial appearing in the Pensa-
cola Journal under date of July 26th,
1917, headed, "The Cleap Up" And
respectfully requests that the follow
ing article be given space in The
Journal.
One thing we must grant the dear
editor of The Journal and that is the
heading Of this fine piece of literary
work of art. He evidently tried to
make good the title, using the sol
diers and sailors" as his one partic-
uar target. Under a paragraph Of
the editorial he remarks:
For the young girls-merely chill
dren-who a few weeks ago were
playing around in cotton dresses,
surely YOU have seen how suddenly
they have put on silk dresses, costly
hats and smeared their faces with
paint to parade the streets with sol
diers and sailors. Foolish virgins"
This remark takes in an entirely
too broad a scope in the soldier and
sailor life. People throughout Pensa-
cola, reading The Journal now, can
form the same opinion of every sol
der who has a decent respectable
lady friend in Pensacola, and who
are themselves gentlemen in the high
est respect that the word implies,
making it almost an impOssibility for
a respectable lady and an enlisted
| man to appear together on the city
streets.
He says, SOLDIERS and sailors pa
rading the city streets with these
foolish virgins" This would include
every young lady in your city who
would chance meet a respectable man
| in uniform and walk down the street
with him, also subject her to the com
ment of every person reading The
