ENLIST YOUR LAND.

In reply to our editorial call for volun-.
teers to enlist their land, we have received
already two answers-involving several
thousand acres.
One gentleman offers the following,
free of cost or taxes, for any service de-
sired by the United States, for the duration
of the war: 160-acre tract, 70 acres inn
proved; 104-acre tract, 90 acres improved !;
40-e ere tract-all good farming land, sit
uate in Butler county, Alabama.
The other offer is to anybody in any
amount, entirely free of rent, for the dura-
ton of the war, of 5000 acres of land,
partly cleared, within ten miles of Pensa-
cola, on Escambia Bay and Muat, Indian
and Trout Bayous; clay subsoil, good
drainage.
The names of these patriots will be dis
closed to interested inquirers.
When we made our original suggestion
a few days ago, we did not expect such inn
mediate results; fully expecting this drive
to occupy us all summer; and the initial
success inspires us to still greater effort.
To those that have, we again say, enlist
your land as others enlist their bodies
lend it to those who are eager to raise food
for the nation, but who are not financially
able to purchase farm, or who are doubt
ful whether they can make good in the
country and hesitate to risk their earnings.
Enlist your land-not with the idea of
ultimate gain, though the advertising ben
ehts will be great and development will be
promoted. but because the country calls
for help and you have it in your power to
respond.

One tablet every one to three hours gives
comfort and rest in the most severe cases

We Must Pass the School Tax
Statements By Pensacola's Leading Men

school is used in the morning, up to L
o'clock, for grammar school, and in
the afternoons as high school. The
work cannot be as well and eff
GENTLY done under these conditions
as it should be done. In other words,
there is pressing need for more
room and more equipment for our
schools. 1t is not merely matter of
improving something that is already
in good condition, but it is a matter
of stern necessity.
The question before the people of
Pensacola is, how are we going to
provide for this necessity? Up un-
til two years ago the school board
was allowed to borrow money when
it deemed it necessary. In that way
difficulties could be met. Now the
board is not allowed to borrow any
money at all. It must depend en-
tirely upon the income it receives to
carry on it's work. That income at
present is inadequate to meet the
necessities. And the only relief that
can be found is by creating a special
scScol tax district. This will enable
the board to carry on its work and
take care of the rapidly increasing
school population. Unless such a dis
trict is created, we shall not only
not be able to build high school.
but our primary and grammar
schools will also be overcrowded next
fall.
am sure that every one who
knows the situation will be anxious
to take part in creating interest in
this important movement.

PISTOL RECOVERED
|. FROM THE WATER

Antonio Ferrari and Henry Martin,
both white men, had fight on Bay
len wharf yesterday afternoon at an
early hour. When the police arrived
one of them threw some object into
the water. After they were locked
up, search was made for the object
and colts 38-calibre revolver was
found and turned over to the police.
Both of the men are simply charg-
ed with fighting, no charge of carry
ing the dangerous weapon having
been made against either of them.

given literature describing life in

age, wanted to enlist and were gi'
age certificates and permission bla
to be filled out by their parents.
two young sailors in charge of

Says the Rev. John II. Brown:
The voters of Pensacola are about
to be called upon to express their
opinions on the question of spe-
cial school tax district. 1t is mat
ter about which one can hardly mag
inc there being any opposition, but
it has just occurred to me that there
is not quite as much interest mani
tested as there should be. / am quite
sure that if everyone fully under
stood the existing conditions there
would be far more interest taken IN
this coming election. There are at
present in Pensacola eight white pri-
mary schools, all of which are now
filled to their full capacity. In the
autumn there will be an incoming
first grade in each of these schools
which will be about twice as large
as the outgoing fourth grade. And
consequently there will not be nearly
enough room to take care of them.
Then these fourth grades from eight
primary schools will have to be cared
for in the grammar schools, which
are already filled. Six years ago
Pensacola had five white primary
schools and one building, the old No.
l, which served the purpose of a
grammar school and high school.
During these six years it has become
necessary to. build three new primary
schools and two grammar schools
In addition to this, alterations have
been made to other buildings in order
to take care of the increasing school
population. At present the Clubbf

wiring many g-roan from the loafers They
are, indeed, fallen upon evil times-no
longer required in the decorative scenes of
things, they become an abomination in the
eyes of the authorities They must either
work, enlist, or undertake such public i'm
provements as road construction under the
strong arm of the law.
Fortified by a resolution of the legisla-
ture, Governor Cats has called the atten-
ton of the various sheriffs to Chapter 1910
of the Acts of 1907-the vagrancy law,
quoted above-which among other unde-
sirables, declares subject to arrest and such
subsequent labor as the state may decree,
everybody over the age of eighteen who is
without visible means of support and
spends his time in idleness.
With such net as this, Sheriff Van Pelt
and his various deputies should make a
great haul in Pensacola
AS Governor Cats has said: Labor con-
d'tions are now abnormal; not only are
there vast acreages undeveloped herea-
bouts. but there are industrial opportuni-
that need labor. The old can't-find-
work CUFF is as threadbare as the mother
in-law Joke, and the responsible element of
the community is simply unable to tolerate
the sight of the drones, much less pay for
their maintenance in higher prices because
of scarcity of production that would be
relieved if they worked.
All encouragement to the sheriff May
he make his cast swiftly and surely If the
poor hsh--to continue our hgure-aren't t
ling to labor for their country, let them
fight for it.
