 If you haven't purchased your sea- son tickets for the Chautauqua yet, it would be advisable to see one of the gentlemen who have them for sale at once and get a ticket which costs you $200 and entities you to all five days attractions, and they are the best ever, this year. If you wait until you get to the gate the season tickets will cost you more. Help the gentlemen who paid their cash to get the Chautauqua-buy a season ticket. Tomorrow is the opening day, and every one will be there probably but you.
 Word was received here this morn- ing from Tillman B.

ADVISORY BOARDS
! WORK INCREASES

AS the work progresses in sending
out five per cent of the total number
of questionnaires each day, the work
Eof the legal advisory boards be-
srcrnes heavier, as instead of coming
at once to the board, the registered
sfnen' wait several days, and the ac-
c1rnulated number fairly swamps the
shosrd and retards the work.
SO For this reason the city board
meeting every day in the court house,
finds 4. necessary to appeal to the Cit
liens of Pensacola for assistance, AMI
help to the board with the work.
Because of the complex nature of
the questionnaires, advice is necessary,
and only intelligent men can render
this assistance. A number of public
spirited men, seeing the congested
state of affairs, interested themselves
in the work, and have materially aid
ed the Pensacola board in relieving the
condition.
As the time passes, however, more
help is needed, and any one who is
willing to give a. morning or afternoon
a week to this work is requested to
do so, and to communicate within J. z.

School Bazaar held a week ago. but
later returns after all expenses had
been paid raised the amount made
for High School improvements to
$246.46.
Last year 1925 was raised by the
Bazaar. This money was spent in
paying off the debt on the piano and
adding books to the High School Lii
brary. The money made this year
will form fund to complete the wir-
ing Of the building and to make pos
sible a course of illustrated lectures.
We wish to take this means of
thanking the merchants who donated
articles, the ladies of the Parents
Teachers Association for their able
direction and assistance and all the
parents and friends of the High
School who gave their patronage.
The wonderful success Of the Bazaar
this year was due to the whole
hearted cooperation of the faculty
advisors and the student body.

In dropping bombs, scouting OF taking

These landing places can also be
used by the postoffice as aerodromes
for the mail carriers.
The duties Of an aerial mail carrier
will necessitate much overland flying
day and night and the dropping Of
mail bags, duties similar to those of
the service fliers engaged in bombing.
Therefore it is suggested that the
postoffice can, while transporting mail
faster, for ma large reserve of trained
aviators which could be taken over by
the Army and Navy in case of need.
The Postal Air Service would thus
become a practical training field for

THRIFT STAMPS FOR
CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Instead of giving their employees
money this Christmas, as heretofore.
a large number of firms in Pensa-
cola are purchasing Thrift stamps,
and War Savings certificates for
them.
When the Thrift campaign was
started the value of the stamps as
Christmas gifts was at once recog-
nized, for they combine usefulness
with the development of good habits,
and a decided service to the govern
ment in time of need.
With three qualities the stamps af-
ford an ideal gift, and encourage
habits of thrift which will be alued
by the recipients years after.
