''NORTHAND SOUTH"

! The last issue of North and South
/ a magazine published at Louisville, Ky.
which is devoted to agricultural. mat

/ farmers and their specialties, also the
/ crops raised, and has interesting &C
j counts Of Pensacola and towns in

West Florida is called the Won

everything worth while is related of

is one of the few cities where its
native sons do not sit down and boast
of their numerous ancestry, but on the
contrary are more concerned with the
immediate present and the near future
than the historic past, energetically
bending every effort toward developing
the city and the tributary territory
along lines nature intended and the
development to follow.
The deep water harbor is described,
the government reservations and the
boom in shipbuilding. Pensacola, the
magazine states, is very healthful and
a likeable CITY,.
The towns and other counties Of
West Florida are wildly described.
Among the illustrations are silos,
fields of corn. preparing land for pota-
toes and harvesting them, blooded cat

suma oranges, watermelons, clover,
oranges. oats, peas, peanuts, soy beans

There are also views of farms and
men at wark in the fields with modern
machinery.
Views are also given Of pure bred
hogs and fine poultry, and space is
also given to dairying, and last, but
not least, the waters about this section
where the disciples Of Izaak Walton
can enjoy themselves BY pulling in the
fnny tribe of many varieties.

we thought that perhaps the sign
painter had reversed the order Of
things. After 4S hours in these trucks
we detrained at Rouen. At this place
we went through an intensive training
for ten days.
The training consisted Of the rudi-
ments of trench warfare. Trenches
had been dug. with barbed wire en-
tanglements, bombing saps, dugouts,
observation posts and machine gun en-
placements. We were given smat-

COUNTY BOARD TO
HOLD A MEETING

This morning the members of the
board OF county commissioners will
hold their session and the matter OF
the bridge across Bayou Chico and
the road between this point and Bayou
Grande will again come up for con-
sideration.
It is expected that local engineers
will report upon the feasibility Of a
lift bridge which is said to be more
economical and just as substantial as
any other span that crosses water.
The matter of the roadway will al
SO be discussed. 1t is the present in
tention of the board to expend the
$4,000 at hand to build the road
as far as the $4,000 will go and later
provide money in the next budget to
complete the road.
The board will also prepare and
send out the ballot boxes for the cleo
ton which is to be held June f. All
necessary books and dockets will be
placed in the boxes and booths sent
out at once to the twelve city pre-
c!ncts and the twenty-three beats in
the county.

NO INCREASE In
PAY POSTMASTERs
DURATION OF WAR

Salaries of postmasters of the first,
second and third classes are not like
~ to be increased during the war.
according to an order just issued by
the post office department.
The post office department, under
an act of congress, raised the cost of
postage to cents as a war measure.
1t is not the intention of the depart
ment to count his as additional re-
ceipts. which would, under the law,
increase the salaries of postmasters.
The order is that no raises will be
made in such instance, after the fiscal
year beginning July l, 1918.
However. if offices increase their
receipts, irrespective of this war
measure, the ruling does not apply.
The new order raising the rate up
on newspaper postage will result in
some study on the part of the postal
authorities and as it is somewhat
complicated, a school will be necessary
for clerks who have TO route newspa-
pers to various parts of the country
according to zones.
One of the apparently small matters
which will cause some difficulty will
be listing papers that go to scattered
subscribers in various sections of the
country. There may be Pensacola
people in California, oregon, New
Hampshire or Ohio. who subscribe
or the home papers. These also have
to be taken into consideration which
will involve more work.

Local Observations,
Daily Stock Letter.

limited Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK, May 25.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Today'sN short session of the stock
market was on the whole a thin al
fair of wholly professional inspira-
ton. Trading was for the most part
on the selling side, as was to have
been expected, perhaps from the
eleventh hour turn ABOUT yesterday.
Steel sold at one time at 166,
whereas its top figure on Friday was
110B. The other steels and all
standard shares in fact were similar
ly depressed, including such recently
buoyant performers as Baldwin Lo-
connective, Marine preferred, United
States Rubber, National Enameling
and Stamping and so on. The to-
bacco group was distinctly weak, ex-
cep: American Sumatra which at in
tervals made some show Of strength.
Railroad shares participated in the
general heaviness. Some OF the rails
made a better showing in the second
hour Reading for example, which
had sold below Sc, rallied to above 81
and the early loss OF Union Pacific
was made good. New Haven went
up about point. The industrials
continued heavy, although still more
or less irregular in their movements
Bonds were but moderately active
and steady. Liberty Ans were at a
new low level at 1916.
