Tell Us How
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
We notice from the various
newspapers appeals are repeatedly
being made for the extension of
hospitality to our incoming SOL
diers, boys who have no friends,
homes or place to go and who
would enjoy spending an evening
or Sunday occasionally with
some Tacoma family.
Our family Is small and we
have plenty and have thought
again and again II there could only
be some way in which we could
get in touch with the names OF
boys who are strangers here and
who would enjoy being with us
occasionally, It would be more
than pleasure to invite these
boys to our home.
We are a constant reader of
The Times .and realize the good it
has done in many lines for Tacoma
and think your paper can make
some suggestion or print the
names of boys from time to time,
giving Tacoma people an oppor-
tunity to invite the boys to our
homes.
We find on interviewing scores
of our friends, that they are In
the same boat" and have been
willing but unable to have the
boys. We are sure you can make
some good suggestion that will
help to make some poor lonely
hearts happy, and thanking you
for little word along this line in
your good paper. Sincerely,
(MR.) NJ and Family.

|. F. ELDREOGE IN
CHARGEREG|MENT
P|CkEDFORESTERS

Pensacola friends Of Captain I. F.
Eldredge, forest supervisor for the
Florida reserves will be interested
in the following excerpts from
letter recently received by l.. L..
Bishop, who is acting supervisor dur
ing the absence of Captain Eldredge:
81 have Company B of the 10th
Engineers, a regiment of National
Army raised for duty in France, in
the words for getting out lumber and
other material for the trenches. Our
men are armed and equipped the
same as soldiers, and we have been
giving them ten hours of drill day
for the past seven weeks.
'The men of the regiment, 1890 in
number, are mostly from the west and
are, perhaps, the best body of men
yet assembled in any regiment in the
army. All are volunteers and each
man III picked specimen physically,
and for experience. The ranks con-
tain a large percentage of college
men, and we had to leave a large
number of forest school men behind
in our surplus. The Sergeants and
Corporals we have are mostly mill
men and logging bosses of reputation
and are rich in fine experienced men
in all ines.
Our commissioned officers are
largely forest service men and lum-
bermen and strike me as being
mighty capable. Nearly all of them
had the officers training camp
course and are handling the military
work like old timers.
Eve are leaving for France in
few days, perhaps will be started be-
fore you get this letter, and all of
US are ready for whatever comes up.
Our colonel says that we may expect
a little fighting so we have been
getting in a lot of gun sighting and
bayonet work We all expect that the
Fighting Foresters" will be able to
hold up their end of the game.
Our chief work on the other side
will be in the woods and in addition
to our regular army engineers
equipment we are taking over ten
thousand foot B. M. capacity mills,
and one 20 thousand cut mill to each
company. Also five miles Of steel
railroad track, lumber cars, and a
locomotive per company, with all rail
road equipment. The regiment will
have a stone crusher and a steam
road roller and a complete repair
shop. With the regiment goes so, three
ton trucks, Is motor cycle side cars,
10 Fords and 4S0 horses and several
hundred wagons. The Florida Forest
and its men who have stood so Loyalty
with me during all kinds of times are
constantly in my mind, and wish
them all kinds of luck.

FINE PROGRAM IS
RENDERED At THE

Another beautiful program Of music
and song was given last night at the
aero station by the Pensacola Army
and Navy Life Activities Committee.
The talented singers, Miss Berlin,
Mrs. Benn and Mrs. Sale were encored

Mr.. Reymund and Mr.. Jack Harris,
both of the aero station made up an
evening long to be remembered.
Little Miss Merial Sale, in her read
ing of "Miss Angelina" showed much

Nowadays it is generally get out

heard in advance of the great pageant.
There are few horses to chafe at
bits and snort with terror at sight of
the elephants in these progressive
days, but the good old circus parade
still comes, however, and the largest
and best of all them will be seen on
the streets of this city on Wednesday,
October II, when the Barnum &
Bailey shows exhibit here.
Horses may go and automobiles
may come, but the circus and its at
tendant street parade go on forever,
nor do they seem to lose one atom
of their popularity. Moreover the
circus is one great big business in
stitution, where the automobile has
failed to supplant the horse. Every
big circus vehicle is still horse drawn,
and will be for all ages, according
to the managers of the Barnum &
Bailey circus. The glittering tableau
cars, the golden allegorical floats, the
gorgeous menagerie cages. all would
be strange and sorry sights if they
were motor driven, instead of drawn
by handsome pluned horses in
shining, silver harness.
The Barnum & Bailey circus this
season is carrying more than $50
horses, and nearly all of them ap-
pear in the great street parade. The

the other gambler tempts him to make
one more wager-his daughter
against the money he had already
lost. At first he refuses, but finally
succumbs to the proposition and
again loses. He then is compelled to
urge his daughter into a loveless
marriage, union in whose wake
tragedy follows swiftly and often.
"a Rich Mans Plaything,' is the
title of the William Fox production
in which Valeska Suratt is starred,

cessful run at the Isis theatre. Aside
from enjoying the drama in ga Rich

tors at the Isis will collect enough

procession is practically new this
season and embodies many new
ideas and departures in street pagean-
try. The floats and cages are of new
and novel design, most of them the
product of foreign designers, made in
the European shops of the circus at
Stoke-on- Trent. The parade is longer
than ever before, and virtually all of
the menagerie cages are displayed,
thus affording spectators free view
of the most valuable and comprehen-
sive geological collection in America.
A feature of the procession is the
music, furnished by six bands and
three calliopies and compressed air
pianos. A host of clowns are also on
hand to inject little fun into the
cavalcade.
1t is promised that the circus this
season will offer more novelties than
ever before. On account of the war
many foreign artists, who have never
before appeared in America, are this
season making their debut with
Barnum & Bailey show. More than
480 performers, comprising the cream
of American and foreign talent are
this season participating in the circus
program.

OLD PARK HOTEL
Be OPENED TODAY

After being remodelled and re-
novated throughout, the old Park
Hotel will be re-opened to-day by J..
B. Lawson, under the new name of
The Plaza. The building is situated
at the corner of DeLuna and Gov
eminent streets, fronting on the
Plaza, Ferdinand VII, and was erect
ed for a hotel.
In addition to being remodelled
and renovated, the hotel has been
refurnished according to announce
ment issued yesterday by Mr.. Law
son, and every effort made for the
convenience of the visitor.
Mr.. Lawson is a hotel man of
thirty years experience, and inves-
tigated several locations before be-
coming finally convinced that Pen
sacola offers an opportunity for al
most unlimited development. He
comes here from Detroit, and ex-
presses the opinion that the tourist
season this winter will be the largest
in the history of the city, coming
largely from the North and North
west. AS a result of his coming here,
it is believed that many will come
to Pensacola from Detroit, and that
the city will gain greatly in
popularity.

Mary Pickford in ''Rebecca of Sunny
brook Farm"

The book of "Bebecca of Sunny
brook Farm" was first published
October 7th, 1908. Within few days
its popularity was assured and within
seven years it attained the extraor-
binary sale of 337, 900 copies, without
the aid of either illustrations or sem
sational advertising. Since then it has
been dramatized by Charlotte Thomp-
son and Miss Wiggin with great
success and many reissues of the
book have been published. The motion
picture rights to this famous subject
have often been sought, without sue
cess. However, when Mary Pickford
decided to comply with the thousands
of requests to picturize it, the screen
rights were promptly granted and
that the result will win far greater
fame for both Mary and the charac-
ter of Rebecca than ever before
achieved is easily apparent. The
photoplay, staged under the direc-
ton of talented Marshall Neilan, will
be seen at the Isis tomorrow.
