OFFERS TO LEND GROUND
TO CITY TO CULTIVATE

To CITY To GUILTY. ALE
Editor of~he Journal.
I would like to make suggestion
through you valuable paper.
do not know if it will be approved
of, but think it will be a very good
thing to do.
IA there is truth in all we hear, and
that starvation is facing the south,
| do not think one foot of land should
be left uncu1tivated, and when / think
of what the poor of our big cities
will suffer for want of food it makes
my heart ache. Now / think every
property owner should lend his or
her vacant and unimproved property
to the city, to raise foodstuff for the
poor.
I believe the city could get the
fertilizer and furnish the work, or
maybe the citizens would donate so
much towards it.
There might be an objection by the
property owners if this offer of lend
ing the land would~interfere with a
sale, but if any one is fortunate
enough to sell land now, they could
sell it with the understanding that
the crop would be allowed to make
and be gathered.
l have land in Pensacola, and will
be only too glad to lend it to the
city for the poor until our country is
at peace again. In fact, I have about
40 acres near here that am not able
to fence, and if Florida only had q
stock law just think of the thousand:
of acres that could be planted if only
the stock were not allowed to rur
| loose.
| hope you will use your influence
toward this.
Yours truly.

misfortune. If such a condition exists

In times of war" asserts State High
way Commissioner George T.. Coleman.
OF Virginia, who is also president OF
the American Association OF State
Highway Officials. with which organ
ization the American Automobile As
ISOLATION co-operated in the passage OF
the Federal aid road act.
"A marginal highway, as set forth in
the Chamberlain-Dent bill. along the
southwestern border and the Pacific
Slope, and. later. along the northern
boundary line. should receive the in
dorsement of ali. the people in this
country interested in it's protection.
and its future development. All OF us
are possibly alive to the fact that roads
are necessary for military purposes,
but very few people realize that in the
construction Of the important high
ways of this country many years will
be consumed. Therefore, it is import
ant that this great work should be
started at an early GATE. and pushed
with as great rapidity AS possible to
its final completion.
while main artery roads command
priority and require rugged and costly
construction, the tributaries must not
be neglected. Tor in many instances
these feeders upon occasion serve a
vital purpose, even though not sub
jected to heavy traffic except intermit-
tently. If the national government re-
lieves a State of that road which has
the greatest military worth, it still
remains the bounden obligation of the
Commonwealth to supply a comprehen
sive State system OF the most import
ant intercounty roads, and then TO
give some aid to the counties in the
building and maintenance of the lesser
roads. 1t is almost impossible to say
positively what roads may meet the
military emergencies. and in consc-
Quence there must be a correlated plan.
the cost of which must be shared by
the national government and State and
county.
1T has been suggested that war
prisoners can be logically employed in
military road construction. and one
finds himself very much inclined to
agree with the suggestion OF the Ma
tionai Committee on Prisons that we
now or will possess. Most of these m en-
will undoubtedly be kept in Southern
States. where the need Of trunk road
construction awaits the earliest pos
ible attention"

1t is just one of the many similar tests to

sui1clent In itself. But just the giant is sur
prlsed as he realizes the with which he ac-

MS strength, so the Super-SiX has so easily met
every test that more trying and abusive trials
have been devised.
We were sure that in the 24-hour test stock
chassis would break all previous records. But no
one thought it would go 347 miles farther than
any other car had ever gone in "a hours The

prepared to meet the enemy as best
he could. The British guns had long
range and Paul Jones determined to
fight close. he brought his ships up

guns came in contact with the enemy
ships. Then ensued one Of the most
frenzied conflicts in the history Of

to ten in the evening. Paul Jones'
position was desperate in the extreme.
