BUTTER SUPPLY DECREASES.
Chicago Board Predicts the Highest
Prices Since the Civil War.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10. 1T The Chicago
butter and egg board has issued an Off
cial statement informing the public of
serious curtailment of supplies Of butter,
eggs and poultry.
The board calls attention to the fac
that the government warehouses repol.
for September shows a decrease of H.
100000 pounds, as compared with Sep
TENDER, 1916, in the butter supply, and
that, while there is an excess Of $4,000
cases of eggs as compared with last year
the extraordinary demand will quic KY
absorb that. Compared with two years
ago, there is a shortage of eggs.
Butter will be higher in price thi-
year than we have known it to be il
this country since the Civil war, says
the statement.

MlLWAt kEE, Sept. 10-Two ltal-

one is fatally wounded, following a
clash at a loyalty meeting here Sunday
afternoon. The Rev A. Gialiana, an
Italian evangelist who had been making
patriotic speeches to his countrymen,
was addressing large crowd when the
members of a Ferrera club nearby
rushed up, tore down the American flag,
cursed the President ard the United
States, and attempted to tear the speak
er from the platform.
The police, who had been advised that
trouble might start, were there in plain
clothes, and when the l. W. W. anar-
chists started trouble they went to the
rescue OF the speaker. The anarchists
drew revolvers and fired at the police,
who replied, shooting one man through
the heart aud wounding two others, one
of whom died shortly after. Albert
Templin, detective, received wound in
the hand and John g. Rydiewicz, de
teetive, scalp wound.
A call was sent for reserves and many
PERSONS in the clubhouse were taken tc
jail. Among them was a woman
thought TO be the leader. A great guam
tity of anarchiste literature was confis
Gated.
A heavy portable motor for use il

PASSING UP A GOOD CHANCE.

If Pensacola shows that it can furnish
the material and men, the shipping board
has intimated that contracts for two of the
standardized merchant ships will be placed
here. This is not the maximum-ratheri is
it the minimun1-the number the shipping
board thinks we ought at least to furnish.
We could just as easily have four, six,
dozen-if we could deliver the goods
According to the governments ideas,
there should be a hundred and twenty-five
carpenters to a ship-speed being prime
requisite. Less than a hundred have so
far registered with the customs and immi-
grafton officers here, but no uneasiness is
felt on the labor score, nor yet on the ques-
ton Of material We have the pine, we have
the oak, we have the foundries We also
have dozens of convenient sites, and
launching slides are practically the only
plant needed But leadership-that is an
other matter
AS there are no ship contractors in Pen
sacola, our business men and our banks
must supply the leadership Already Jack
sonville has secured contracts for three
ships-Tampa two. Are we to pass up
this opportunity?
If the captains of industry make no
move their advice to young men to enlist
and to farmers to plow, is not likely to
carry much weight
Pensacola has chance now to develop
ship building. To the Chamber Of Com
merce we look to give the idea concrete
shape-if no private person can take it up,
and in the cause we expect the banks to
enlist their dollars Pensacola must get
the contracts!-

Germans will get out of focus.
No Imogen, the hunger strike IN

Congress is making its contribu-
ton to the national food need in the
form of peanuts and pork.
Every day the volunteer system
demonstrates itself greater failure,
as certain congressman and senator's
would know if they read the papers
or went to night school.
Germany thought that England
wouldn't join the war because of a
scrap of paper and now she learns
to her horror that the United States
does not intend to conduct a paper
scrap.

Boston deserve anything they get.
With much eagerness we wait for
| Won Tirpitz to say it was for nllnIary
reasons that those six German de-
stroyers left the two British after
one of the most spectacular battles OF
the year.
| One of the saddest sounds imagin-
able is to hear a group of men start
to sing my Country, IT'S of Thee"
and break down at the fourth line,
and be forced to hum the tune from
then on,
Now that the dear girls have
| clipped off so much of their skirt, it
behooves the men to join the con-
servation movement by not wearing
neckties. In this way, less cotton
need be raised and more ground de-
voted to food products.
In case the Colonel isn't allowed to
raise a division to take the colors to
France, the $4,000 Americans already
| fighting abroad might be organized
and offered to Roosevelt. Then he
could both lead and learn the art OF
war from them, and all would be
well.
