A. NAVIGATION SCHOOL SHOULD
BE LOCATED HERE.

An officer connected with the United
States shipping board school of navigation
comments on the fact that few enrolments
have been received from West Florida. He
believes this section should furnish a large
quota of men to serve as officers on the
new ships which will make the American
merchant marine the largest in the world.
1t is true that West Florida has many
men we'll trained in maritime matters
better sailors than can be found almost
anywhere else-and as loyal as any men
anywhere.
A number of them have expressed a de-
sire to qualify as officers in the merchant
marine and they would welcome the cour~
of instruction given free by the shipping
board But they are unable to meet the
cost of board and lodging and the persona
expense incidental to a six weeks course
at either Mobile or Jacksonville.
If the shipping board will arrange to
conduct even a temporary school at Pensa-
cola-which is the logical place for it and
should have been selected when the plans
were first formulated-therc is certain to
be large enrolment from the very class
of men most acceptable to the government.
There are more of them here than at any
other point on the gulf coast and as they
cannot conveniently attend the present
Schools it would seem wise move to bring
a school to them

klondyke Section Is Badly
Damaged by Late Storm

Beulah Oct. This community
passed through the worst storm that
has ever visited here within the his
tory of the place, fences all down,
outbuildings overturned or destSyed,
and houses partly wrecked, with here
and there house or barn blown to
pieces and completely wrecked-but,
fortunately, no one was killed or in

The house occupied by Aleck Wat

storm and went to T. L. Barrineau' s
home, where they were taken in and
cared for until they could make other
arrangements.
The corn and bean crops are badly
damaged, and with most of the fences
down, it is race with the owners
and the cattle and hogs which will
get the most of what is left, with the
odds in favor of the stock, as the
animals work over night.
Messrs. Johnson and Tanton lost
fifteen or twenty goats and some
young cattle; l.. Speligner lost few
goats; j. NJ. Snowdon lost about all
of his chickens by the roost blowing
down on them, and Mrs. Spare lost
chickens and guineas galore, the
storm blowing them away or else
beating them to death.

The idea is that the great Russian revolution will not
