failed to substantlate his claim.
Prof. c. c. Wagner was in c%onversa-

first installment.
When the first liberty bonds were
offered. $685. 600. 000 i'm certificates
were outstanding and when the fiscal
year closed on June 30, a total Of
S626. 600. 000 of this amount had

method had been preferred by treas

strain on the money market at the
time of final settlement.
The new certificates are made ac-
ceptable at par, like the preceding IS
sues, in payment for any United
States bonds issued and allotted
hereafter and before the maturity of
the certificates" The fact that the
certificates are to bear interest at
3 p per cent is taken to mean that

Payments for the certificates will
be made Oh August 9, two days after

PECULIAR CASE PUZZLES OFF
GERS AT HOT SPRINGS.

Hot Springs, Aug. about two
weeks & a demented mar was
found wandering in the vicinity Of
Ardmore and when captured was so
violent that it took several men to
handle him and bring him to Hot
Springs. Lately his mind has APP
peared to become normal as to every
day affairs, but Is a blank a. to the
past and attempts TO discover his
name or where he came from have
failed. He has at different times re-
called places where he has been, but
can give no particulars as to time or
what he was doing. When a flash
of the past to him he becomes
so excited in his apparent efforts ia
recall that there is a relapse and he
is apparently no neare locating him
self than he was at the beginning.
He seems to be an educated man, us
ing good language, and is a fine
musician. The man is apparently 25
years old, weighs lao pounds, has
dark hair and blue eyes and promi-
nent front teeth.

One Hundred and TwentyEighth Day
of America in the War.
AMERICAS. SOLDIERS.

Men of good physical condition and
strong moral fibre that will meet the de
mands of trench life: men of individuality; ;
men who think for themselves and are
willing and able to assume the command
of small units, and what is more, of them
selves in the event their officers are killed
such are the qualifications Pershing lays
down for the American soldier.
Selection and subsequent training guar
antee the first two conditions; while indi-
Vidualism may we'll be considered an Amer
lean characteristic. This is not boast-it
has been proved too many times. More
than one desperate situation has been
saved by the personal initiative of the
Canadians, who possess the trait in COM
mon with Americans, and in their prelim-
mary practice the Sammies have aston
ished the seasoned warriors by the prompt
ness with which they adapt themselves to
new conditions and improve on them.
Our army organization may indeed be
compared to our national sport, in which
the players are trained to team work, but
are capable of brilliant individual action in
the pinches,
Such an army cannot fail to render a
brave account of itself when, its period Of
preparation over, it goes forth to play its
part in the great world drama.

MAKING OURSELVES OVER.

Whereas, formerly we exported ,80O0O,
600 bushels of wheat year, we must now
find for our allies 225, 100000, and that in
the face of a short crop.
Thus is illustrated one phase of the task
to which Hoover, as head of the food ad
miniStration must set himself.
In CATTLE to continue, our allies have
been compelled to kill 100000 head of
their stock animals, and not only must we
supply them now with meat and dairy pro-
ducts, but we must prepare to fill an even
greater demand for these commodities
later on. So, too, with many other things.
1t is not a case of like to-" but of grim,
glorious must" and we will do it by cur
failing waste, developing production and
regulating exports
The other part of the program consists
i'll establishing an economic system in this
country under which the people will be
safe from speculation and price imitation.
Appropriately enough, Hoover will first
give his attention to the bread; by simpli-
fy ing the distribution OF flour, he expects
to make the staff of life considerably
cheaper. He will announce his program in
a few days, Then he will address himself
to meat and dairy products.
Though the food bill carries with it
drastic coercive powers, Hoover hopes he
will not be forced to invoke extreme meas
ures, He feels that the common sense of
he American business men will guarantee
their cooperation to stop wasteful hand
ling methods, and if there are any who per
sist in gambling and extortion, Ee will ad-
minister the corrective measures necessary.
Results already accomplished with the coal
operators give encouraging support to
Hoover's hopes.
Thus is Our entire economic fabric being
made over. We are a different people to-
day from what we were year ago, and
having learned not to waste, we arc now to
learn what full value is. Thus is demon
strated again the age-old truth 'To Him
That Hath"

DEMAND IS INCREASING.

With the awarding of contracts for fifty
ships, steel and wood, Saturday, the gov
ernment has exhausted the first half billion
dollar appropriation made fhis last June,
and will ask for $500,000,0dO more. This
does not include the ships tp be comman-
deered, for which separate }provision has
been made in the sum of thre e quarters of
billion dollars. To take the place of the
commandeered ships, private builders will,
of course, have to start new q construction.
An astounding development, yet it is
only beginning. And the limit can not
be seen. Not knowing how lohg the war
will last, we can not estimate the millions
of tons that will have to be replaced, while
the commerce of peace will be many times
greater than that of war, which strips
trade to the bare necessities of life and
death. Not only are we required to build
for the greater part of the world now, but
we will have to maintain and increase Our
merchant marine when peace comes.
Ship building is one of the sOuth's many
doors to prosperity and the south even
now has its foot upon the threshold. Four
hundred and seventeen merchant vessels,
J ,596,OOO tons, and estimated by the Man
uiacturers' Record to be worth $3.50 O00-
COO, are now under construction, or have
been contracted for in southern yards
not to mention the warships building at
Newport News.
Our neighbor ports of Tampa, Mobile
and Jacksonville have already profted.
Pensacola contractors are now in WASH
ington, seeking to bring ship building on
q great scale here, where beginning has
Already been made; nor are the coastal
| counties of West Florida less forward.
Development will be faster henceforth
than it has been heretofore, because the
most difficult part of the entire business
has been accomplishments convincing of
| the south itself of its possibilities

There were several other applicants

At the same time, Joe Marble was

A GREAT STAPLE.

Peanuts are assuming an important
place in the dietary. We allude especially
to the well-knoWn "buttcr." which is 26
per cent protein, 80 per cent fat, and q per
cent carbohydrates, and which has 1850
calOries to the pound, or more than the
average man requires a day.
Peanut butter sells from Is to 45 cents a
pound. Between the various brands there
is practically no difference-certainly not
enough to warrant this difference in price,
bat as the Manufacturers Record saws.
'even with peanut butter selling at 45
cents pound, it is shown that consumers
can purchase more protein and fat in the
form Of peanut butter than in almost any
Cfher palatable food now on the market" "
Then, too, peanut meal is being increas-
ingfv used to fTtten hogs, and the oil is of
great Importance.
The increased production of peanuts is
shown in the following figures: In 1899
there were only 516,654 acres of peanuts
in the country In 1909 this had increased
to 869,687, and in 1916 to 1245,OOO. while
it is estimated that there are fully 100000
acres of peanuts now.
Florida'S crop of peanuts is bigger. than
it ever was, and success this year will
stimulate planting next year.
Peanuts are worth about 81 a bushel
wholesale, and the demands of the oil mills,
livestock, and the human table are making
them one OF the great staples of this
country.

Editor of The Journal:
There are 500 poung men stationed
here in your city. To. make a long
story short, we want better treatment
and something for amusement.
Where can we go to be amused? l
think the people of Pensacola are
very much in doubt as to our capac-
ity. There are men here from the
best colleges in the country. We vol
unteer our services in the U. S. navy
for you and your homes. We are
asking nothing in return but hospi>
tality. Everything is closed to a

The SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING 0AsMEY.


Both the Russian flag and Sfe Rus
sian army are flying.
The unfortunate thing about Libe-
ria's declaration of war is that it got
only second page position.
Paradoxical as it may sound, the
high price of pork proves that much
money is made nowadays on the hog.
Kaiser Bill's declaration that his
enemies "have slandered the German
name" proves that he is not without
a sense of humor-
A Huntsville, Ala, man claims to
have invented a gasoline gun that
fire 100 shots a minute. Now watch
gasoline shoot up.
+ The embargo sounds the knell Of
profteering abroad, even as the Food
Bill has hamstrung the chargers OF
the robber barons in this country.
Judging by the youth of the Ger
man soldiers captured in that coun-
try, there is not as much, nor as pro-
fcient, swearing in Flanders as
might be expected.
1t strikes US that George Sylves-
ter Viereck, who admits that he is
nephew of the kaiser, Is very free
with advice on how this country
should conduct the war.
This is the time of the year when
the press develops a fearless ten
denCy to denounCe the indiscriminate
giving of Christmas gifts to adults;
but along about September, every
editor will be snugly aboard the do
your-C mas-shopping-early band
wagon.
In order to bring himself up to the
weight, a New Orleans boy, anxious
to get into the army, is eating twen-
| ty eggs and drinking a gallon Of
milk a day. That's the spirit! And
we are willing to hazard a wager
that even if he doesn't make the
weight, he will find his way to the
front-the place of every true Ameri-
can who can pclsibly get away.
