Power Company Comment

Power Company Comment.
The power company offered the fol-
lowing explanatory comment on these
figures hi Dean Crouch's report:
I'm order to take advantage of the
power company's proposition It IS
necessary to electrify the pumping
plant at an expense of some $4,000
this is to be done in the manner as
outlined in detail in letter by Dean
Crouch, which was written by him
after communicating with the under
writer's, SO that this change is approx
ed by Dean Crouch and the under
writer's who were about To recon-
mend certain increases in the capact-
ty of the city plant and they took adj
vantage of this change to recommend
them, SO that the plant when changed
over in accordance with this PROPOSE
ton will be considerably increased
W would also call your attention
to h fact that the underwriters adj
vised US h a as d result OF these i'm
provements to the plant the plant will
be put into such condition as to meet
h underwriters requirements for
putting the city in a new and better
classification, which better classified
ton will result in the saving Of ap-
p~roximately s12,750 per year In in
surance premiums paid by the citizens
OF Grand Forks.
Although the savings shown on the
attached report are very attractive II
LIZ u opinion that the actual savings
which will result Will be greatly in
excess of those shown"
Power Company's PROPAGATION.
The power company followed the
explanation with It's proposal to sup
ply all the electric energy necessary
to do all the city pumping and hight
ing, as Is now being done by the city

KEEP TEETH OF j. s.
SAILORS IN REPAIR.
IS RATHER BIC JOB.

Base American Flotilla in British
Waters, Oct. II -(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-Keeping
IN repair the teeth of the American
officers and bluejackets over here is a
big task ably performed by two den
tai surgeons WHO'D hold the rank of
Junior leutenants on the two tenders
or mother ships now based on this
port. These two men have, since the
arrival of the flotilla in these waters
treated not less than one thousand of
the personnel of the ships for every
thing from common, everyday tooth
ache to major operation on the mo-
lars. :,
On their respective ships these two
surgeons preside over dental parlors
on par with those to be found in
the best equipped of American cities.
Here urgent cases are treated imme-
diately, others by appointment and
in regular order. The dentists are
always con the job They are sub
ject to call at any time of the day or
night.
For instance the other morning one
OF the dentists was aroused at the
quiet hour of three o'clock to stop a
severe toothache. The patient was
from one of the destroyers which had
JdoI 1CCuILS " pOIL dIteI d lung
stretch of patrol duty. His tooth
ache started far out at sea but he had
to endure it for another day, when it
was time for his ship to return to
port.
All work is done at the expense of
the government. No gold crown are
put in nor is any bridge work done.
This class of work Aot only is too ex-
penslve, but there is no time for what
is called clancy" dentistry. There is
too much urgent work, such as tooth
and nerve extractions and filings to
find time for the highly specialized
kind of dental surgery.
But Uncle Sam makes it his bust
ness to watch over the mems teeth,
and has made teeth inspection a part
of the regular routine of ship life 1t
is part of the efficiency scheme. I'm
Gle Sam knows that to keep his men
fit and in good health care of their
teeth is just as essential as care of
their food or clothing. Therefore,
man with the slightest symptom of
trouble with his molars is sent off to
the dentist whether he likes it or not,
and he is required to follow the doc
tors advice and to arm himself with
tooth brush and tube of paste.
A glimpse at the teeth of any blue
jacket shows frequent recourse to the
dentists who are not only appreciated
but who are regarded as somewhat of
a luxury not to be found in many
other navies. In fact the dentist is
but a comparatively recent adjunct
to the American Navy, being provided
by at act of Congress in 1913.

Pensacola will be host to a great
Sunday school convention the last of
this month" stated r. c. Weidler,
general secretary of the Florida Sun
day School Association in an inter
view Monday Mr.. Weidler has just
returned from Century where he at
tended the Escambia county Sunday
school convention Sunday.
"The convention" continued Mr..
Weidler, will open Tuesday afternoon
October 30th in the First Presbyterian
Church. John L. Alexander, Inter
national Teen Age Secretary will be
present and deliver an address. Mr..
Alexander's reputation as a speaker
and as a specialist in teen age work
is known around the world. In ad-
dition to Mr.. Alexander, West Flor
ida will have it's first introduction to
Miss Mary F. Price, field secretar.
of the Florida Sunday School Associa-
ton, who has made such a favorable
impression in the southern part of the
state. The program Tuesday night

come by Mayor Johnson, which will
be followed by a welcome from the
churches by Rev. d. P. Slaughter of
the First Methodist church. Mp
Alexander will give an illustrated
lecture on teen age work. 1t is hoped
at the same time to have an adj

same hour. A similar program of
high merit will characterize the en-
tire convention
"This convention will embrace
largely the eight counties in West
Florida, and each county has been
asked to supply a minimum number
of delegates, and each Sunday school
in each county has been asked to fur
nish its quota. 1t is hoped by this
plan to have at least 600 delegates
at the convention. Every Sunday
school is entitled to as many delegates
as it may wish to send, and all dele
gates and Sunday school workers
have the same rights and privileges
in the convention"
Local arrangements" said Mr..
Weidler, ARE we'll under way Pen
sacola will entertain the delegates in
royal fashion, as is indicated by the
spirit of willingness and cooperation
manifested everywhere. Not only to
the churches, but to the community
in general, this great convention will
be of large value, and every citizen
of Pensacola ought to aid heartily in
making this meeting big success"

LIBERTY LOAN BOND
is FREE FROM ALL
STATE CITY TAXES

One of the most frequent questions
being put to the local Liberty Loan
committee with reference to the new
Liberty Bond is as to the exemption
from taxation of these bonds. Under
the law authorizing this issue of
bonds they are exempted from all
State and local taxes; are exempt
from the normal federal income tax;
to principal amount of S5,0O000 in
the hands of each investor, in addi-
ton to the above, they are exempt
from all federal taxation except es-
tate and inheritance taxation-that is
to say they are exempt from sur taxes
and excess profit taxes as well as
normal income taxes.
This means that this new issue of
tours as regards the average citizen,
including those in comfortable cir
cumstances, are to all intents and
purposes tax exempt.
To patriotic Americans who are
not in position to pay cash over the
counter for these bonds, arrange
ments have been made through the
local banks to pay for them in easy
monthly installments, details of which
arrangement may be secured by pros
pective investors either from the To-
cal committee at it's office, EOS
American National Bank Building,
either of the local banks, or from any
of the volunteer bond sale commit
tees which will be on the streets dur
ing the present week.

Cleanliness, honesty and their high

close but friendly competition for
years. Their enormous growing pop
ularity and the almost forced necessity
Of enlarging these two already big and
popular shows, brought about much
thought and consideration to their
owners, and it was at last decided up
on that there was much truth in that

IronIcaI philosophy.

The idea that handsome is as hand

aver since II was first sprung upon an
unsuspectIng world that it is high
lme it is disposed Of In the first
place, if you are really handsome,
specially If you happen TO be a girl,
fou don't have to do anything else. AS
/ matter Of fact, no beautiful girl ever
loes anything else. 1t isn't necessary
or her to cook or sew or even talk.
All she has TO do is to sit still and be
owed, and the line usually forms on
he right.
If you do q thing, on the other hand,

supposed to insure you being hand

handsome thing it win never be re-
yarded as handsome by the only peo-
pie whose opinion is worth while. be-

'LAYED GOLF IN DARKNESS

Members Of the Lundin Links club,

less to fall before starting their game.
Another remarkable instance of play
ii the dark was the occasion Of a
match between Lord Kennedy and a
Mr. Crulkshank, which started about
10 o'clock p. m A lantern at each

strange as 1t may seem, the opponents
played the holes in almost the same

The shrine of Ste. Anne de Beaupre
Is just an hours car ride from the
city Of Quebec, but In that short dis
tance you seem to travel a thousand
miles from the modern world. The
quaint, bright little French Canadian
town, stuck to the hillside like a swal-
lows nest 70 a barn wall, with the
sheer mountain behind 1t and the wide
st. Lawrence in front; and the great
stone church, its magnifcence con-
trastlng strangely with its primitive
background Of village and mountain,
call irresistbly TO mind the story and
picture Of medieval times.
The shrine OF good Ste. Anne is Wis
tied by Catholics from all over the
world, for she is saint Of most un-
usual power. In the front OF the
church are piles OF crutches and canes
that reach clear to the high pillarcd
roofs and every one of them has been
brought by a grateful pilgrim whose
prayers for healing We're answered,
