GARRY PACKAGE
MOVEMENT Grows

Mrs. r. F. Mitchell, chairman OF the
Take Your Package Home committee
of the Red Cross, is much encouraged
at the response which has been made
in this movement both by the mer-
chants and women of the city, but
urges that every woman Will endedV-
or to interest others in the campaign,
and will take her own package nome
Nearly all Pensacola merchants
have enlisted in this Champaign, but
il frequently happens that the clerks
forget to ask the purchaser TX she
wishes to carry hor own package, ana
She forgets about the little Red Cross
sticker herself.
On these busy days, when the mer-
curry is trying to run away with IL
self, il is a great help to cut down the
delivery. and at the same time, IL
should be remembered that the Rea
Cross is benefitting every time pack
age has a Red Cross sticker attacned.
It does not help the Red Cross II you
take your package home without one
of these stickers, however, as the mer-
chants buy them from the Red cross
in large quantities. the chapter receiv-
ing a certain percentage. Everytlme
a purchaser gets a sticker, she IN
crease the Red Cross fund just SO
much.
Take Your Package Home and help
the Red Gross. and reIease labor lor

HEAR HUMORIs 7

The men at Fort Pickens enjoyed :
real treat Monday night when Herbert
Cope. humorist. gave his clever. side
splitting and serious lecture specially
adapted to the men in the service.
The speaker possesse~ rare COM
bination of fun and seriousness, using
fun most subtly as a means of "driv-
ing home" some profound truth on life.
His gems of philosophs> were set in
an attractive background of whole
some jokes, related in Mr.. Cope's own
manner, the only explanation of itself.
To hear him is to laugh until your
sides are sore and you are Sore at
yourself for your sins.
Mr.. Cope comes as a special repre-
sentative of the "Y" with az plan for
organizing in camp clubs of sailors
and soldiers for self-entertainment
Every club will be granted a charter
and have a constitution. A member
ship card will be given to each mem
Der who will be entitled to all privil-
/, eyes in all camps in the United States
and France if in foreign service later.
The purpose of the movement is to
furnish more and better amusement
and enjoyment among the service men,
many of whom have been players and
entertainers in civilian life. The clubs
+, will promote and provide plans for
ministries, dramatics, athletics and
| all other forms of ente. ,ainment.

Water Front Property

At a meeting of the city commits
sioners. which was held Monday. the
ordinance providing for the sale OF
water front property to the warren

third and final reading, and passed.
Each of the commissioners, with the
mavor. cast his vote in favor of selling
the property, and rejected recommen-
dations made by the city attorney.

along with his approval OF ordinance
when so slightly amended.
This ordinance provides for the sale
for the sum of $500 cash a tract OF
81 i-2 feet in the east side OF Baylen

there has been some considerable dis
satisfaction voiced as to the sale OF any

allegation being made that the city
has now little If any OF the cholce
property left.
The city attorneys opinion, however
announced that the ordinance in its
present form was good and that II
would be valid, so far as he wouid
see. if adopted, but as sort OF
a safeguard, the suggestion for certain
amendments was made. The commis-
siopers, however. as above-stated, dld
not adopt such recommendations. On
the other hand Commissioner Pou
moved that the suggested amendments
not be adopted, and this was seconded
by Commissioner Hinrichs. In It's un-
amended form, therefore. it was put TO
a vote and passed.
Following its passage, George r
Wentworth, acting as attorney for the
purchasers, who was present, arose
and thanked the commissioners fol

the matter consideration. While several
who concern themselves with facts and
figures had based their calculations up
on the registration books used at the
elections in the county, others used
another basis to arrive at their con-
illusions, with the result that none were
far wrong, one having figured within

WHY PRICE OF BEEF VARIES.

Export beeves for army and navy
as we'll as for export run over AIS
pounds dressed weight. Lighter
weight beef does not keep well
enough for prolonged holding, but for
domestic consumption 1t is earnestly
recommended by the Maryland Food
Administration. Owing to drought in
certain sections of the U. S. A. an IN
usual amount of this lighter grade
meat has found its way to market.
The butchers, who usually bought
the heavy grade article, now pay less
and this should be reflected in the
retail price. A dealer who used to
pay, say, $26 the hundred and now
purchases light cattle at $16 should
certainly make some difference in his
price to the housewife, Where, how
ever, the normal call was for light
weight beer the saving will not be
manifest Local conditions govern the
meat situation. Every housewife
should see that she gets a fair share
OF any benefits that may arise in her
community from this season Of alb
normal marketing OF light weight beef

Order War Industries Board
Applies to all Weekly
Newspapers

An order issued recently by the Pulp
and Paper Section of the War In
dustries Board governing weekly news
papers is as follows:
discontinue sending papers
after date of expiration of SUBJ
scription, unless said subscription
is renewed and paid for. This rul-
ing is effective October l, 1918"
This order makes it necessary for each
publisher to put his paper on paid-in-
advance basis, and makes no distinction
who the subscriber may be. The list
of The Republicans subscribers repre-
sent the best people of the county.
Many have paid in advance, but there
are number who have allowed their
subscriptions to run behind.
In order, therefore, to comply with
the demands of the War Board, every
subscriber of The Republican who is in
arrears, or whose subscription is not
paid in advance to or beyond October |.
1918, is urgently requested to pay up
prior to that date, otherwise we can
not be permitted to continue sending
the paper. Remember, your credit is
good. but The Republican as is the case
with all other newspapers of the
country, is under Governmental super
vision and the war board considers it
necessary for the winning of the war
that its order be obeyed
With few exceptions the label on your
paper shows to what date the subscrip-
ton has been paid. Look at it before
you lay this copy of The Republican
aside and send check at once to cover
your arrearages and a year IN ad-
vance.
If conditions were such that we could
mail to each subscriber a personal let
ter explaining in detail the demands of
the war board we would do so, but with
a multitude of duties developing upon
us owing to the war and war conditions
we find it to be impossible, hence this
public statement.
Very truly yours,
