LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY

The one hundred and ninth anniver-

baby. In his spare moments you could
always see him cleaning 1t or polish
ing the stock. Woe betide the man
who by mistake happened to get hold
of this rifle; he soon found out his
error. Scott was as deaf as mule,
and 1t was amusing at pcrade TO watch
him in the manual of arms, slyly
glancing out of the corner of his eye
, at the man next to him to see what
the order was. How he passed the
! doctor was a mystery TO us; he must
have bluffed his way through, because
he certainly was Independent. Beside
him the Fourth of July looked like
Good Friday. He wore at the time a
! large sombrero, had a Mexican stock
saddle over his shoulder, a lariat on
his arm, and a 'forty-fve" hanging
from his hip. Dumping this parapher-
MALTA on the floor he went up to the
recruiting officer and shouted: I'm
, from America, west of the Rockies,
and want to join your ID army.
I've got no use for a German and can
shoot some. At Scotland Yard they
turned me down; said / was deaf and
so am. don't banker to ship in with
a ID underwriting outfit, but the
cavalry's full, so / guess this regi-
ment's better than none. so trot out
your papers and I'll sign 'em." He told
them he was forty and slipped by. /
was on recruiting service at the time
he applied for enlistment.
It was Old Scottys great ambition
TO be sniper or "body snatcher," as
Mr.. Atkins calls it. The day that he
was detailed as brigade sniper he cele-
brated his appointment by blowing the
whole platoonsSp flags.
Being a Yaf3. Old Scotty took a lik-
! ing to me and used to spin some great
yarns about the plains, and the whole
/ platoon would drink these in and ask
for more. Ananias was rookie COM
pared with him.
The ex-plainsman and discipline
! could not agree, but the officers all
age, SO when he was detailed as
| sniper a sigh of relief went up from
| the officers mess.
| Old Scotty had the freedom of the
brigade. He used to draw two or
three days rations and disappear with
his glass; range finder and rifle, and we
would see or hear no more of him
/ until suddenly he would reappear
with a couple of notches added to
those already on the butt of his rifle
Every time he got German it meant
another notch. He was proud of these
notches. ------ ---------

chants are being experience
ed by the Southern Utilities
Company, and we are find
ing it increasingly difficult
to give our customers the
service of former years. We
are now forced to terminate
a policy of continual expan-
sion in the serving of new
territory as it develops and
to confine our endeavors to
the territory already COW
cred by our delivery, realiz-
ing fully that as the scarcity
of labor becomes more
acute, we may, in spite Of
our best endeavors, not only
fail occasionally to cover
our usual routes, but may be
forced, as time goes on, to
reduce our delivery.
We are making this frank
explanation to the public
which we have served for
a long time, believing that
as they understand our
problems and know that it
is our desire to serve them
efficiently, they will bear
with us.
It is our purpose, however,
to give the best service pos
sible under existing condi-
tons and we will make
every endeavor to do so.
There are other ice COM
panies in Pensacola besides
ours, and although we have
no authority to speak for
them, we know that the
conditions outlined above
apply to their service as
we'll as to ours.

The Delivery of Ice
A Brief Statement Of the Conditions
Which Are Affecting Service

VI 49, " "A 44A -
In the number of years this
company has been in ex-
istence we have endeavored
to give our people the best
of service.
Different lines have
brought forth different
problems to be COPIED with,
but never in the history of
our business has it been so
difficult to secure supplies,
fuel and labor as at the
present time. 1t must be re-
membered that the greatest
war in history is raging and
that conditions all over the
world are abnormal.
The enormous consumption
Of material is impressed
upon us daily in the news
papers, and the fact that
millions of our men of all
classes are being with
drawn from the ordinary
pursuits of life and sent to
the camps and to the front
is heralded in every issue;
but probably the effect of
these things has not yet
been considered by the aver
age citizen, and he does not
understand that times are
not as usual" and the old
time service cannot be rem
dered by those who supply
his needs. Consequently, he
is disposed to chafe when
confronted with a reduction
in service.
We are making this state
ment that all may know that

"But since taking 'Tanlac l am not

ties of Tanlac. My nerves became

cline has been most pronounced since
then, ending with but ten cases up to

Preventive measures adopted by the

have brought these results. Whether
the serum treatment had beneficial
effect is still moot question among
physicians Those favorable to the
serum insis, that il did check the
death rate, while those questioning
its efficacy insist that serum for 1900
cases, in a population OF 10000. was
