istration license. and In the customary
way the firm was notified OF their de-
Hnquency. Continuing along lines Of
official procedure, the Bagdad Land
d Lumber Company was granted an
opportunity Of explaining its delay In
securing a Food Administration IL
cense.
This hearing developed that the
firm had made an effort to get IL
cense from Washington shortly after
the inception of the Food Admins
tration authorities. but because of the
congestion OF business at the WASH
ington office. the application was over
looked or neglected. Hearing nothing
further from Washington the offici1s
of the Bagdad Land & Lumber Com
pany assumed that they were exempt
from license requirements and con-.
tinued their business without thought
Of evading or avoiding the law.
The investigation brought out the
facts that this firm had not only been
extremely busy with contracts for the
government, but had given great time,
effort and personal activities of it's of
ficials and employees to war work
Their endeavors in behalf of the va
rious war work efforts formed an alb
solute and emphatic denial of the ac-
cusation that this firm was Sinking
or evading a responsibility.

No effort was made by the BaGdad
Land & Lumber Company to deny
their unintentional oversight, or any
degree Of responsibility that might be
attached after the legal requirements
were explained. In the same manner
the Food Administration could offer
no excuse for its certaiN responsibility
in failing to furnish the license when
requested.
At the conclusion OF the investiga-
ton, Mr.. w. F. Stevens. OF the Bag
dad Land & Lumber Company, Of
fered the solution of the matter by
proffer OF $1,000 as a donation to che

nowledgement Of the error OF delay
in securing a license. This offer was
accepted by Administrator Braxton

without censure or criticism.

| Ample Funds; Nurses Needed
Lee MacDonell, chairman Of Civilian
| Relief, who is working with the emer-
| gency committee, said last night:
| What we need now most of all are
| nurses and more nurses. We want
women to volunteer, and it is not nee
| essary that they have any practical ex-
perience. We could use one hundred
nurses today if we had them.
I'VE have money enough for present
necessities and we do not want to
make appeals for money,-we feel that
these contributions should be volun-
tary. But the demands are heavy.
There are cases where we have nau 20
pay undertaking expenses, and we have
a place for every dollar that is con-
tributed.
THE response has been wonderful.
but the need is great. If we can only
impress upon the people that we shall
not need less, but more help as the
days go on. that the thing for us to do
now is to keep up the pace, not to
slacken in our efforts. but to give our
selves unreservedy to this work, we
shall win If we fail to do this,-if we
do not continue to give our very best
we shall fail But with the response
that has already been made, and the
spirit of determination that seems back
of every worker, the outlook seems
better than we had dared to hope it
would be at this time.
ASK the women to come to our aid
in the nursing service. Ask people TO
report cases of sickness Immediately
that the need is apparent, and we 1eel
sure that we shall win out in this

The great need in Pensacola today
is for nurses. A woman to give a dose
of medicine. To change the sheets on
a sick bed To give nourishment to
Ditients. To wash dishes. TO make
beds. To care for children. Any intel
igent woman can do this The women
of Pensacola are responding nobly.
But they must continue to respond.
They must give their personal service,

checked Visit the central office, tele-
phone 40 or call up your precinct
chairman, and offer your services to-
day.
Marianna's Offer Appreciated
In sending nurses to help meet the
influenza situation in Pensacola, the
Mariana chapter of the American Red
Cross is showing that splendid spirit
of helpfulness on which it's very life is
based" said a member of the Elmer
gencv Relief committee last night.
This is the first time Pensacola mas
had to accept help from another city
to meet its need in a situS->n of this
character. The need for nurses in
Pensacola today is acute. The women
of Pensacola, and especially the mem
hers Of the Red Cross. must show a
like spirit to that shown by those VINO

services at once, that the disease may
be checked.

COSMOPOLITAN ALEXANDRIA.

An Example of the Character of
Some of the Work That is Being
Done Here.
Already there are many Signs OF
the cosmopolitan character which the
city of Alexandria is taking oa,
since the attention of the public has
been turned in this direction. A few
DAYS since Finnish woman, with
three children, one little baby IL
arms, was found by young lady, on
the steps of the city postofiics build
ing. She had come here to meet her
husband who was carpenter, but
in some way had gotten the wrong
address and was seeking him throusa
the postoffice. She was in great dis
tress of mind, with no money AMI
unable to speak a word OF EnslIsa.
She was taken to the Children's Homs
where she and her children were
cared for until the father was locat-
ed three days later. A happy ard
united family are the resultlo q ht-
tie thought and cooperation on tie
part of organized efforts.
This is but ones example of many
that could be given of the value OF
the Children's Home, the only open
doc. in Alexandria where any woman
or child can find helping hand at
any time. And yet, so Indifferent ana
ignorant of the situation are the
general run of the citizens Of Alex
andria that but a small proportion
of them contribute to this home
charity. Responses are hearty ana
generous to calls that come to send
money away from the city, brt
where the money is spent an the city.
and for the good of humanity, IN geh-
eral, because the demand is less
picturesque and is put forth IN more
modest manner the response IS so
small that at the last meeting OF fne
Board of the Childrens' home, me
treasury was empty and bills to the
amount of fifty dollars we've unpaid.
Charity certainly begins at home'
although it should not end there.
There is no patriotic duty more n
sistant or valuable than that the ls-
cal institutions which have bseE
building up because of "a crying
need of their services, should DO
amply Supported before any thing
else is done. At the end Of the war,
our condition will be all worse, even
when victory is ours if we have per-
mitted the institutions that are for
the conservation of the spiritual
forces TO lapse.
Everyone who can do so is urged
to send check, if it De only fer
a small amount, to assist in the w'-s
which is being done.
