The Hays Red Cross has grown
rapidly in the last two weeks. The
Normal Auxiliary has 100 members.
the Experiment Station. nineteen
members, the town 545 members.
which makes a total of 664 members
for the Hays Chapter.
Hays will then have the first Chap
ter west of Salina.
Last Saturday was ''Tag'' day and
the ladies succeeded in tagging
228 new members on that day.
At the meeting last Thursday even
ing, more than seventy-five members
were present which shows Hays peo-
Die are interested and more than viii
ling to do their "bit."
As 1t was crowed it was decided to
have the business meetings the first
and third Thursdays of each month
at 1880 O'Clock In the Baptist church
and the work meetings at the Library.
And, by the way, If you have an old
cupboard or some shelves where ma
terials may be kept, the ladies would
appreciate the loan of the same.
1t was thought best to plan TO work
three hours each of two mornings
and four afternoons of each week.
Also to hold ''Open-shop" on these
days is anyone down town
may drop in and work as they choose.
It was decided to work In groups, to
be arranged alphabetically There's
to be no compulsion about this and
anyone who cares to, may come and
work If not member.
The supply committee is planning
to have materials to begin active work
next week. Watch the publicity
board near the postoffice for assign
ments. Next week we hope to have
the list of paid up members arrang-
ed and published. Be one of them

THE DEMONSTRATION AGENT.

Alter nearly five months without de-
monstration agent, economic deficiency in
Escambia county is at last filled in the ap-
pointment of c. A. Fulford, whose official
duties will begin February l. That the
designation could not have taken effect
January l, which was the time originally
set for the appointment, is a matter of re-
gret, but this is not point to cavil on
grateful as. we are that we have any agent
at all. Effects of the woeful lack we are
Just beginning to feel
What has happened to the hogs that were
to be shipped? The former agent, when
his term expired, had number of likely
herds rounded up which were to be shipped
in cooperative car, he attending to all
the details. But with him gone, no one else
volunteered to do the work. and the hogs
are still here.
To the Chamber of Commerce are due
the thanks of the county for bringing the
demonstration agent to Escambia. When
through a miscalculation, the last county
board dropped the appropriation for his
salary from the budget, we not only facec
the calamity of misdirected year of agri
culture, but also the loss of the federal ap
propriation The Chamber of Commerce
although it is essentially concerned with
urban matters, undertook to raise tn
county's share of the agents salary, fol

PENSACOLA IS CHOSEN.

One OF the five naval training camps for
civilians will be located at Pensacola the
others being at Norfolk, Newport, San
Francisco, and some place on the Great
Lakes, to be determined later-the logical
concentration points of the United States.
The occasion calls for editorial enthusi-
asm but, confdentially, we are not at all
astonished. Who doubted for a moment,
when the announcement was made several
weeks ago that the naval training camps
and cruisers were to be distributed through
out the country, that Pensacola would be
chosen?
What gulf port was specifically men
toned as the probable port of call of the
raider? Pensacola, Pensacola only. Where
were the U-53 and the Bremen logically ex-
pected to put in before their itineraries
were known? Pensacola. At what port
did the French warship actually call, seek
ing submarines? Pensacola.
What gulf port did Admiral Helms
recommend for further development? Pen
sacola.
concentration camp on the gulf? Pensa-
cola. And this is where Pensacola should
score again when Maior-General Wood
comes here on his tour. of inspection.
The naval training camp will open about
June II. A light cruiser or gunboat viii
be assigned here for their accommodation
and from 800 to 1000 men may be expected
to come here. Whether the ship will re
main anchored here, or whether it viii

IN any event, the advertisement to Pensa
cola will be the same
With the entire country taking such in
terest in our town, who would not be en-
thusiastic for the future?

MONEY TALKS.

turned, and we will give it our support,
urging others to do SO as a matter of mate
tlai benefit to this community and section "
The whole question has hinged on the
efficiency of the advertising and the admin
istration of the funds. The former prob
lem is solved by the employment of one Of
the nations best known advertising ex-
perts; the latter by the character of men

The first year, results will be nothing like
what they will be the second, third fourth
and fifth years, for advertising is cumula-
tive--it increases by geometrica1 pro-
erosion. At the same time, results will
be SO marked the first year that unless we
begin to plan for the future we will not
have accommodations for the tourists, and
we will not even have sufficient organiza
ton to assist prospective colonists to settle

THE WOODMAN ENGAGEMENT.

Permission given by the Federal govern
ment to the uniform rank of the Woodmen
of the World to establish their encampment
on the Fort Barrancas military reservation
should be tantamount to saying that the
national convention of Woodmen will come
to Pensacola this July-the third consecu-
tive year Pensacola has played the host to
this important organizations notable
record for any city, especially valuable to
Pensacola, fighting to establish itself, with
the tide of battle turning ever stronger in
our favor.
Other places after the encampment are
New Orleans, Mobile, Mississippi City and
Gulfport The latter two may be elimin-
ated from serious consideration. New Or
leans and Mobile, however, are formidable
contenders-or were.
Excellent as was last years site at Pal
metto Beach, it is nothing compared with
the military reservation; nor is any other
city on the gulf able to offer such drill
grounds as are available at Fort Barrancas.
Especially encouraging to Pensacola is
the promptness with which preparations
are being made to send special delegation
from the Chamber of Commerce and the
local Woodmen to Omaha, to urge the
claims of the logical point. But this is not
enough. Pensacolians in general must in
terest themselves in the matter Water
| pipes must be laid to the grounds and other
preparations made Above all, there must
be a concerted effort to show how anxious
| Americas oldest CITY is to extend the old
