Delco-Light in
Country Stores

The country store that keeps up-tO-
date Is appreciated in every cOmmu
nifty. Fresh stocks, complete but not
necessarily large. well arranged and
kept clean. and plenty of good light
such country store doesn't worry
about mail order competition.
DELCO-LIGHT is a great trade-bringer
for country stores. And there is the
added advantage that one plant will
not only light the store but the resi-
dence, premises, barn and other near
by houses. Then, too. there is the
power at command that brings many
comforts and saves much labor for all.

MONSTER FISH is
SEEN BY CROWDS

Captain Bonnie Edmundson Saturday
afternoon stated that he would have to
make a contract with a lumber cum
pany for new flooring material if Cap
tain Charles H. Thompson, the exhibit
tor OF the big fish and other specimens
OF deep sea life, stopped much longed
at his dock on the trim yacht Tamiami.
Saturday morning Captain Thompson
and his sea complement arrived in Pen
sacola and at 10 o'clock had warped
at the landing Of Captain Edmundson.
From that hour on there were con-
courses OF people to see one or the
wonders OF. the ocean, a monster fish
Just what it is scientists cannot tell
The n,astodon has been under the in
spection Of experts of the national
museum at Washington, D. C. also men
yersed in, fish lore attached to the bu-
reau OF fish and fisheries at the nat
lonal capital. In fact one scientist of
the Smithsonian Institution mounted the
fish, that is after its life was extinct
Captain Thompson yesterday said it
was caught by accident in 1912 between
Miami and Key West, Florida, while he
ana a party OF friends were trying TO
nook tarpon. The fish came to the sur
lace OF the water near the outing
fNAsf oAN Sdptdin thompson threw a
harpoon at it. His aim was good but
he essayed more than he bargained.
For about thirty-nine hours the men
IN his party were dragged miles about
the waters by this monster AS an au-
dience there was about 1000 people,
at odd times, witnessing the struggle
The fish was finally made captive
but life was about extinct. And the
nshingcrew was also about ready to
quit.
The catch was landed and at the time
the newspapers were filled with stories
about IT. Skeptics would not believe
what they read. II was then that scien-
lists Of the Smithsonian Institute were
called in and one of them mounted the
fish.
II Is well worth seeing. Il has a
mouth large enough to swallow al of
inc Jonah family, as far as the family
Tee extends, going and coming 1t IS
Wen preserved and its tongue would
make Maggie" of Bringing up
Father" fame subside.
In connection with this fish is an
exhibit OF sea life which is interesting
ana Instructive. The specimens are too
numerous to specify.
captain Thompson will be here until
tuesday, when he goes to Mobile,
thence TO New Orleans and up the Mis-
slssippi River TO the inland river land
lnEs. The fish and other attractions
can be seen from 10 o'clock In the
morning until 10 o'clock at night.

Station, and will take charge of ath-
letics at the Pensacola station.
Mr.. Yates, who will be permanently
located at Pensacola, volunteered for
service, Immediately upon declaration
of war, but failed to pass the physi-
cal examinations through some minor
defect. Determined to aid his country.
he offered his services through the
training camp activities Of the navy.
and arrived in Pensacola few days
ago to assume his duties.
Mr. Yates, who will have charge OF
all sports and athletics at the air sta
ton, was connected with the athletics
of number OF colleges and high
high schools OF this country. While a
student at st. Johns Brooklyn, New
York, he was prominent in college atn-
letics, and was later director at Swarth-
more, as well as the New Rochelle High
School, and the Horace Mann School OF
New York City.
For three years after leaving college

Several OF the New York papers have
iod 81
Yates and his work, and he comes to
the Pensacola station very highly rec
Commended.
go In speaking of his plans for the ser
vice men yesterday, Mr.. Yates said:
Nothing is more necessary to the de-
velopment of the men than directed
physical exercise, and it is proposed to
promote all athletic activities, swim
ming, baseball, basket ball, track meets
and boxing matches all to have their
place on the program.
There is nothing more important to
the aviator than trained muscles-mus-
cles which quickly respond, and eyes
that are trained. Boxing bouts and
sbaseballfl train the arm af-.l the eye to
act quickly and together"
There is a fine recreation building al
. the Air Station, and the parade ground,
