THE LATCH STRING

The severe cold that is being experienced
all over the country is inducing greater
number of people to visit Florida than ever
before in its history and Pensacola is re-
cciving its quota Of tourists. Added to the
severity of the weather, is the hardship of
insufficient fuel, and many persons who
might not have come South for the winter
have sought milder climate because OF
these difficulties.
A number of the visitors to Pensacola
are experiencing mitch trouble in obtain
irg suitable quarters, and an obligation
would seem to rest upon those who have
eny accommodations in their homes, to
rent these rooms for the winter months
Ordinarily, whether one wishes to extend
such hospitality to those who spend their
winters here is entirely optional, but mas
much as there is such need of rooms and
this necessity is imperative, it would seem
to behoove all who can possibly do so to
c, mmunicate with the Chamber of Com
merce, or in some way let visitors know
ct their willingness to open their homes.
Economy is no longer a question of in
dividual choice, it is an obligation to the
nation. Fuel, especially coal, must be con-
served, for 1t is one of the most important
factors in the winning of the war Many
visitors have come South hoping to miss
the rigors of the winter, further induced by
fuel shortage. Where it is possible to do
SO without any real deprivation, would it
not be kindly thing but a patriotic as
well. to rent the guest room, or the den of
that absent college boy, or even the daugh-
ter's room while she is at boarding school !?
The Chamber Of Commerce is very
anxious to have the names of all who will
furnish rooms to visitors Will YOU not
Put your name on that list?

Complaint appeal and protest made

pronaise to better conditions. Am
bieuous promises do not cure the in
conveniences that working men are
forced to endure by standing all the
way from fartherest points on East

delays and tedious waits at switches

wet days when perchance the ear Yves

The usual galvanized spirit OF incon-
sideration for the working class by
corporate and monied interests Is be-

this instance. We who constitute the
overall wearers have ever been subject
to contempt more or less intense in
spite of TIE fact that but for us the
worlds wealth and the prosperity of
concerns like the car company would
be as ethereal as the Kaiser's dream
of world domination.
The recent innovation of issuing
transfers to Aeronautic Station en-

an already inadequate service.

STAMP THE Writers

Mr.. II, w. Harrison whose visit to Pen
sacola in the interest of the Thrift cam
paign, gave a renewed impetus to the work
which has been SO auspiciously started by
the ladies of Pensacola, has conceived
very unique way of furthering the interest
iii the Thrift Stamps. Mr.. Harrison uses
the Thrift Stamps as tips in travelling about
the country, giving the stamps to walters,
railroad porters and others. in lieu of the
customary quarter
The tipping evil has become nuisance,
and is especially SO at this time when every
thing is SO dear, and all are endeavoring
to prevent waste. To give waiter a tip
because he has served you with cup of
coffee and roll, or to tip a porter because
he has discharged duties for which he has
been paid. is diametrically opposed to the
present principles of thrift which the gov
eminent is seeing to inculcate.
But to give the same amount of money
in Thrift Stamp is an entirely different
proposition and does not offend ones sense
of right and justice in any way. For in
giving the stamp the customary debt is
raid to the porter or waiter, he is given
silent lesson in Thrift and the government
= helped very materially in its war pro-
gram.

The necessity of the work of the Red
