MERCHANTS Want The Il
HOUR DAY once A week

Business men OF the city object 20
the bill now before tho Legislature
striking out tho provision Of the
twelve-hour day once a week in the
ten hour labor law. A statement to
this effect was made yesterday by
Daniel Rachlln. manager of the Liv-
ingston store, Fifth and Market
streets.
Mr. Rachlin cited conditions at his
store as an example The biggest bus
mess Of the week. he said, was done
between and 1880 Saturday nights.
Many patrons arc unable to do their
Saturday shopping until after z o'clock
in the evening and in consequence
there is q rush from that time on,
which makes il necessary to keep the
entire sales force on the floor.
Mr.. Rachlin said:
I'VE have always tried TO be more
liberal to our force than the law re-
quires. Our people. as a matter of
fact, do not work nfty-fve hours a
week. Miss Malone has personally
complimented us on the way we treat
our help. We have provided for them
the very best of conditions. They
have Their own wash room. their own
eating room, with facilities for cook
ing II they so desire and they arc
never locked for time off during ill
ness. Not one Of our eighteen people
has a complaint, and each is perfectly
satisfied with the twelve-hour day
Saturday
We would very much rather give
our people one afternoon off each
week TO compensate for the twelve
hour day on Saturday than be forced
to hire additional help, green and in
experienced. for the one day"

JAPANESE kUOzu IS
GREAT FORAGE PLANT

J. c. Patterson. an early settler Of
Pensacola. but more recently residing
in ST. Augustine, is in the city for
few days. having come here at the in
vitatiOn OF r. II. Mcdonald
Mr.. Patterson is tree and plant
doctor and was engaged for couple
Of days this week in the Munroe &
Stevens groves, where he gave prac-
teal demonstration of his methods
in treating various citrus tree all
ments, including that of NAL de gonna.
or foot root and also the preparation
of the formula used.
Mr. Patterson is also interested in
introducing. what he considers the
greatest Of all forage plants, the kud
zu. legume from Japan. 1t is very
much like the velvet bean or cowpea
but. according to Mr. Patterson. is far
superior to them or any other legume
used for hay as corn is superior to
grass. Mr. Patterson says there is
not an acre of land in Florida so poor
or rough that will not grow kudzu, eX
cept in the case of water soaked soil.
1t is produced from roots which con
tain from two to five prongs, ten to
IA inches in length ard the crown
about three inches in diameter 1t is
| a soil builder and never needs re
planting. 1t is cut and harvested the
| same as any other hay and yields from
- to ii tons per acre III from four to
| five cuttings during the year. 1t grows
| to a height Of three to four feet II
must be kept free of grass the first
| year, but thereafter Will take care OF
| itself and needs no further cultivation
1t will stand drought and the plant
cures readily and keeps better than
any other hay, says Mr. Patterson
rain not affecting it. The leaves and
stem can be ground into meal which
| makes a good feed for cattle and
| horses. Mr.. Patterson deplores the
fact that hay is largely imported into
| Florida. when kudZu could so readily
be made TO take its place.
Mr. Patterson, who settled III Pen
sacola III 1886. and has ever since re
sided III the state, says some Very com
nlimentary things OF Daytna which h,

APRIL z IS DATE SET FOR
EXTRAORDINARY SESSION
ELD STATE Of war
ALREADY EXISTS

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Presi-
dent Wilson today called an extra ses-
sion Of congress- for April 2 to take ac-
ton on the state Of war which admit
todly exists between the United States
and Germany.
Congress will probably be asked to
declare that state Of war has existed
since the recent date when German
svbmarines began series Of warlike
epesatins against American COM
merce.
The presidents proclamation states
that he calls congress for it to receive
. communication from him concerning
grave questions Of national policy"
The proclamation does not state that
the president considers that state Of
war exists but leaves the question for
DISCUSSION In his address and for con-
0ressionaI action.
Tho decision Of the president was
made as a result Of yesterdays cabi-
net meeting. at which practically the
unanimous opinion was expressed
that while preparations arc going for.
ward to put the nation in q state Of
armed neutrality, congress which
alone. has the War-making power,
should be summoned.
The sentiment in congress is under
stood to be Overwhelmingly in favor
Of declaring that as a result of Ger
many's acts state of war already ex-
lists
In his address to congress. the pres
ident will recite Germany's overt acts
and probably discuss universal mill
tary training.
The foremost act which brought the
Presidents decision was the unWarn-
ID torpedoing Of the American steam
er vigilancia with the loss of IS lives
some Of them American.
The president chose April 2 to call
congress in session because he thought
Il impossible for some congressman
to get here earlier.
A resolution by Congress declaring
that a state Of war exists will not be
. declaration Of war in a technica
sense. although it will practicaII,
amount to the same thing. II such c
resolution is passed the United State:
will take additional steps to protect it:
interests against Germany.
The cabinet in urging the move o
the president is described as being
more thoroughly united than it ha
been on any other question. At frs
there was a suggestion that the resul
might be to allow Germany to us'
submarines against the American
coast. but the Navy feels that it is abl
to take care Of that. Meanwhile tn
Navy is rushing preparations and tn
Army Is preparing plans. tndustria
mobilization is planned and hundred
o. great corporations have offere
their services.
The presidents proclamation aske
Congress to give the matter immed
ate attention.

It is the remarkable fact that oil
producers who live in the east are
looking for opportunities for an In
vostment in this state other than oil.
There is one mighty good feature
about this, and that Is that hence
forth these oil men will take an in
terest in the welfare of the state and
will endeavor to bring about the best
possible condition for business and
for better living conditions
The fact that one real estate man
has sold $4,000 in property in
Tulsa since the first of the month,
all of which goes to oil men, and that
oil producers are buying ranch prop
crty as an investment and stocking
the same with high grade stock Is
another. Z. Il. Magee, who bought
the J. y. Levy home on Maple Ridge,
is of the opinion that California is
all right for people who want to re-
tire but Tulsa and oklahoma is the
place for the man who wants TO do
business.

The danvancc In prices encountered free sales
on the part Of holders who were In q position

Caddo light oil advanced 10 cents
per barrel Friday. this being the first
advance made by any of the western
crudes since January 80. When North

10 cents per barrel there was an ad-
vance of 10 cents per barrel in Crich-
