Four Trips To Make.
There are four trips in all to
make, and on the last we have to
take six photos on the way. Today
the trip was to Hondo, town about
40 miles west and south Of here. Co.

and had some fun running into them,
and then diving through until
could see the earth again. 1 also
tried flying along through them with
sight of no thing but moisture, and
discovered to my joy that can keep
the ship 5evel by feel alone.
This is an important thing, Of
course, and is necessary for. flying
on the front, especially for night fly
ing, but 1t was on the way back that
had the real sport. I was flying
along at about $500 feet when
saw q great bank OF clouds, perhaps
1000 feet above, coming toward me,
Il was going towards them, too,
about 20 miles perl, and thought
would play with them. I started to
climb, and as got up, lodged in
between the misty promitories of the
leaders so as to keep the ground in
sight. AS /. mounted I began to see
the sun bathed edges of those up
and toward the east. Finally I got
about $500 feet altitude, and found
myself above the whole strata.

the Government directs them, al
though they may state what training
school they prefer to be sent to-
Those who register in the Preferred
class will be assigned first, and all
! possible consideration will be given
to their preference as stated. The
/ Deferred class is composed of those
who limit their pledge of service
that is, who will not engage to 60
except to certain hospitals. This
class is intended largely for those
who, for family reasons, can not az
cept training at distance from their
homes. Those who register in the
Deferred class will be assigned only
after the Preferred class is ex-
hausted,
The Government relies on the pa
triotism Of those who enroll to fill
out Preferred cards if they possibly
can, thus volunteering to go where
they are most needed
Nobody will be assigned to any
schools whose conditions of training
are not approved by the State Board
of Nurse Examiners.
What tire training course prepares
for.-At present every woman who
completes satisfactorily her training
in any accredited school is eligible
for service as an Army nurse at the
front and stands a chance of being
assigned to duty abroad. AT the
same time she will be qualified to
earn her living in one of the noblest
professions open to women. 1t should
be remembered, furthermore, that
her usefulness will begin not when
she graduates from the training
school but as soon as she enters it.
Practical nursing work is a part Of
the work of every training school,
and the student nurse is not only
learning to serve but serving her
country from the outset. =.
Finances.-The student nurse gets
her board, lodging, and tuition free
at practically every training school,
and in most cases receives a small
remuneration to cover the cost of
books and uniforms. After gradua.
ton she has an earning capacity Of
from 500 to $500 month. Private
duty nurses now receive an average
OF from 500 to $500 a month togeth.

ton nurses from $50 to $3.50 a month

The country will need all the nurses
that can be trained, not only during
he war but after it, especially for re.
construction work. Even if the war
ends within three years, every stu.
lent nurse will be able to complete
Ter training and will be needed.

The Government is calling for rs
600 young women to join the Unite,
States Student Nurse Reserve AM
hold themselves in readiness to trail
for service as nurses.
The war is creating an unprece
denied demand for trained nurses
Only those who have taken the full
training course are eligible for ser
vice with our forces overseas. These
nurses are being drawn largely from
our hospitals at home. Their places
must be filled by student nurses en-
rolled for the full training course OF
from two to three years. Every
young woman who enrolls in the Uni
ted States Student Reserve is releas
ing nurse for service at the front

we must rely on to act as our second

health OF the American people will
depend the spirit of their fighting

Esoambia county farmers are to be

Word has been received from Washing

to urge the production OF sugar cane
here next year. If investigation shows
that the cane may be grown CONNER
cially near Pensacola. Information
gathered by County Farm Demonstra-
tor Fulford may be used to guide the
government in its recommendations to
Escambia farmers that they help in
crease the nations sugar supply.
Cane is grown successfully in the
county now. in small lots for grinding
into syrup. The high sandy pine
hummock lands OF west Florida are
especially adapted to the growing OF
cane for this purpose.
Under favorable conditions the yield
OF cane runs from IS TO 90 tons per acre
from which 20 gallons OF syrup or i6O
pounds of sugar may be obtained
The cost of a sugar mill to grind
daily 1000 tons OF cane was S473, ,3ii
in 19i7. Under existing conditions the
cost would be higher, but the profits
would also be much greater for local
farmers.

follow the custom of other Florida
boards and call in business men from
other sections of the county TO seek
their aid in listing men who are evad-

of the rush of work, the board has had
to depend on voluntary help in To-

very effective, the board contemplates
a thorough counting over the entire

There will have to be volunteers if

the work of registering the 1000 or

After Sept. 1 Pensacola housewives
will bee able to buy all the flour they

Ter, wholesaler or retailer than in the
case of standard wheat flour"
