CONFEDERATE BALL
At THE SAN CARLOS

The stars and bars of the southern
confederacy will be born aloft again
IN Pensacola Saturday night and his
toric associations win be revived. They
will be placed side by side with old
glory in a great decorative scheme
of red, white and blue for the confed-
crate bali at the San Carlos hotel
which the e. d. G.. are giving in cele1
bration of the birthday of General Lee
and for the benefit of the Old Soldiers
Home, the state institution in Jack
sonville.
1t is interesting coincidence that the
artist who is in charge of all decora-
tons for the ball, Mr.. Stuart, is
nephew of General j. E. b. Stuart, of
the. civil war fame. He is making his
work labor of love and the effect will.
be artistic and beautiful.
Music as well as decorations for the
ball will be intensely patriotic and
loyal to the present as well as the
days of Lee and Jackson. Dixie
will mingle with America" and the
Star Spangled Banner, as well as the
Bonnie Blue Flag will be on the pro-
gram.

UNCLE SANS ARMY
OF STENOGRAP HERS

Washington, d. c., Jan. 18.-There
is today in the City of Washington
in active operation an army whose
exploits attract little notice, but
whose members are doing a very
large "bit' toward winning the
war for American army of ster
ographers and typists. twelve thou
sand strong, recruited from every
state in the Union. A majority of
these soldiers of the notebook and
typewriter are girls. Day in and
das, out their nimble fingers faith
fully click out the tremendous vol
ume of correspondence and records
required by a great nation at war.
They wear no badge nor uniform;
their work is all work ard has no
thrill nor romance; but the United
States could not stay in the war a
month without them.
The rapidly expanding depart-
naents of the Government in Wash
ington employ stenographers and
typists with greed that seems in
satiable. The United States Civil
Service Commission estimates that
there will be twenty thousand Gov
eminent employees of this class in
Washington at the end of this year.
owing TO the general cSmanu the
Commission is finding it difficult
task to meet the calls of the depart
ments. Examinations are held every
Tuesday in $50 cities, and the Com
mission states that an examination
will be held in any city at any time
day or nipht, when there is prospect
of assembling a class of three or
four competitors. Eligibility may
be obtained through passing an ex-
animation in practical tests in short
hand and typewriting. 1t is practi
cable to complete such an examina-
ton in one hour. Representatives of
the Civil Service Commission at the
post offices in all cities are furnish
ing definite information to persons
interested.

Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 19.-(Specia)
In reply to kilograms asking for his
opinion from the New York Times,
New York World, New York Tribune,
New York Herald and New York Amer
lean, Governor Sidney J. Cats sent
the following telegram today relative
to- the drastic fuel conservation order
Issued by the United States authori-
lies:
Tallahassee, Fla, JAN II, 1918.
With meager information at hand
am unable TO form definite opinion
regard closing down industries as ad-
vocated by Fuel Administrator. 1t has.
however, been my policy to Cooperate
with the federal authorities in any
movement they deem necessary in or
ganizing, equipping and supplying the
army and prosecuting the war. 1t
will naturally work a tremendous
hardship to private industries and up
on working men to close down for such
period, but with ships in the harbors
waiting for fuel TO carry supplies to
our armies and with thousands of
people suffering from the intense cold,
i do not think the sacrifice too great
In this unusual crisis.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded, or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect By asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients. ali ready to use, at very
little cost This simple mixture can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap-
plied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, TAX
ing one strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and beautiful. This prep
aration is a delightful toilet requisite

Panama City. Jan. ia large
party of northern people accom-
panied by Mr.. c. G. Macdonals,

Canada. They have come here to
look over our district with a view to
making homes among US. We are

as these to our "South land"
There are many more coming from

ly and Mr.. Macdonald expects to

Sneads, Fla, Jan. 18..-West Florida
has done her "bit" and done it wei
in financing this great war, but there
is a doubt if any town of its size
has responded lore plentifully in
supplying food products than the little
town of Sneads.
With population of scarcely five
hundred, backed by sparcely settled
county Sneads has shipped in car
load lots 101 cars of food products
since January 9th, 1917, consisting
of 35 cars of melons, 20 cars of
corn, "a cars of live stock, cars of
syrup, 6 cars of peanuts, 3 cars of
cotton seed, and l car of sweet po-
tatoes, besides numbers Of smaller
local shipments not included in these
figures, and probably many other
cars of such commodities that have
gone by boat via Apalachicola.
To stress this the n the writer
has been reliably infornaeS that this
was her first year in shipping in ear
load lots, her first shipment of
hogs having been made last March
and only one or two cars of corn have
been shipped to Mariana to stock
men there previous to this year. And
we were also informed that one of
the largest planters in this section
insisted on his farmers planting cot
ton extensively, which of course was
failure on account of the boil
weevil
We consider this doing a big bit"
when the crv for food throughout the
world is getting so common and our
fighting friends cover there" are
running shy of "hog and hominy."
If every farming district through
out this country would respond this
literally according to their popula-
ton, which would mt be very diff
cult, when taken in consideration, a
large per cent of the farming here
is done by negro tenants in
thit@or-miss" kind of a way and still
We hear no cry of scarcity of any
food products in the country, we
think we would soon be able to am
ply supply the deficiency of our al
lies and put the Kizer to flight.
Sneads has made no bic bluff or
grand-stand exhibition of donating
money to this cause; while she has
responded very literally both in
money and manhood. some of her
favorite sons being in the first vol
unteers and drafted in; but money
makes poor fighting material and is
rather hard on the digestive organs
as a sustainer of life. but according
to good military authority "armies
FIGHT on their stomach" and Sneads
relies on that authority.
