GET IN LINE

The many demands that reconstruction has made
on Pensacola and Escambia county have not rem
dered people the necessity for bet
ter educational facilities. The fact that during
period Of the schools were sadly neglected,
and that other things pressing, in no way
gives any excuse continued neglect, and IL the
boys and girls Of Pensacola to have the same
with those of other communities, then it is
up TO the parents and guardians of those boys and
girls. and all other who hold that chill
dren least worth much as chattel.
Good citizenship is the most important thing to
any republic. The measure of country is the
manhood and womanhood of that country. But how
build up republic, how can we hope to
make good citizens incucate in youth those prin-
cples which give fibre to character unless we give
these boys and girls deal in the years that
the most impressionable when the plastic mind
impressions after life cannot obliterate
Pensacola has given the boys and girls
square deal. When, several years the pupils of
the public schools of Pensacola staged great
rade and registered their disapproval of the in
which the public had allowed other moves to side
track educational affairs, the people gave as their
excuse that the time was not propitious.
The time will be propitious. unless make
it There is not person in Pensacola who is
interested in the schools directly indirectly.
At recent meeting movement started and
committee appointed to work for a sub-tax
district in Pensacola. This committee is made up
of strong men, able and willing to do their part.
But committee can do nothing without the
operation of the community
In a few days this committee will circulate pc
titions for special election for subtax district in
Pensacola. These petitions should be signed by
every taxpayer.
without sub-tax it will be impossible for Pen
sacola boys and girls have anything like a
able chance in the future And the longer
the for better schools is deferred, the greater
will be the injustice which impose
children.
Looking at the from entirely cold blooded
standpoint, not only will the children suffer but
the community will suffer with them. All the
country educational needs being

WORK AND SAVE

Goods and money are the means of life. Bet
ter standards of living are impossible without pro-
ducing more goods. Men cannot consume what
not been produced.
At the wars end allies had desperate need of
the essentials of life We share our
resources with them, but this drain will gradually
lessen. In so far shortage Of goods is due
70 this cause well afford be patient.
1t is just essential that have patience with
the economic situation here home. The process
of production requires time. If production rapidly
increased. vastly improved conditions will prevail
in America when the results OF present and future
labor begin to appear.
Team work is imperative. Just as essential
between retailer, wholesaler, producer as 1t
between employer and employee. One group of pro-
ducers cannot wait on another group. The manufac-
turer, the farmer the distributor must imme-
diately assume his part of the burden and enter
upon his task. The nation cannot afford curtaiI-
ment of goods vital to the people.
On American business rests a grave responsibility
for efficient cooperation IN bringing full and
proportionate production. On American labor rests
an equally grave responsibility maximum
unit production and maintain uninterrupted distri-
button OF goods If labor itself is to suffer from
further rises in the cost of living
The entire nation--producer, distributor and con-
sumner alike-should return to tho unity won the
war. Group interest and undue personal gain must
give way to the good OF the whole nation If the
situation is to be squarely met.
Our common duty now. fully much the
war; Is to work and to save. In the words of the
president in his address the country on August
%, 1919, only by increasing production and by
rigid economy and saving the part of the people
can we hope for large decreases In the burdensone
cost of living which now weighs down."
Work, save. cooperate, produce.

LACK OF DOCKS CONDEMNED.

Commerce when. more than six years ago. the peo-

CHILDREN HAVE
ENTERTAINMENT
AT NJ. {. CHURCH
YOUNGSTERS GIVEN RELIGIOUS
TREAT AT REVIVAL SERVICES
BY SINGER STAPLETON.

a large number of young people
found their way into the big audit
orium at the First NJ. E. church last
night to hear and see what proved to
be a very unusual service. The grown
ups who attended had to find refuge
in the gallery and the Sunday school
annex.
Since Mr.. Stapleton was to be
speaker. Mr.. Reid resigned at the
piano and led the singing. The young
neophytes filled the air with a ire
mendous volume as they Justify shout
ed their way through one chorus after
another. The general spirit prevail
ing was that of the exhuberance of
young life Overlooking.
The service was different from any
thing ever seen here during the pro-
gress of a revival meeting. To say that
it was merely an entertainment would
give rise to misunderstanding and
Misrepresentation. But in and behind
every stunt or illustration was
a pointed lesson which was clearly
grasped by the wide-eyed youngsters,
as evidenced by the frequent "Oh's'
and Abs as they gasped out their
amazement.
Mr.. Stapleton is said to have spent
a large sum of money in the prepara-
ton of this unique program and
through its presentation has certainly
won for himself a well merited repu-
tation as a leader of children. 1t goes
without saying that he is today very
popular with the Juveniles of Pensa-
cola.

TO BUILD THIS WINTER.

The investor who is going to put his money into
buildings does not want to build and to con-
conditions in the Southeast make possible-if by
waiting few months. say until spring, he car
build cheaper than w. IT, the other hand the
cost Of building may be higher spring, il
Il will not be lower, he wants build now and
continue build. The Industrial Index says
The investors opinion with regard to these
questions will have a very important bearing
upon immediate building operations in the
Southeast
The great majority of building material deal
and building contractors the Southeast
do believe that prices building materials
will be any lower next spring. Many of them
think the prices will be considerably higher
and still more of them believe there will be
advance.
These beliefs based upon the immutable
operations of the law of supply and demand.
In every city and practically in every town
in the Southeast there is shortage of
residences and apartments and need of
business buildings. This shortage is the result
of things: The suspension of building for
two years and more because of war conditions
and expansion in this section. The cry for
more houses is very general throughout the
southeast. Unquestionably this demand is going
TO be met as quickly possible In fact. in
many towns and cities. plans are under way
for beginning to meet it.
Thus will be created an unusual demand for
building materials
And to this domestic demand must be added
the demand that is bound to come from de-
: vastated countries of Europe, which by next
spring will begin rebuilding. In way this
demand already has begun, is demonstrated
by the exports of lumber.
In the East and Middle West building opera
tions must be suspended in the late fall and the
winter. They can be continued right along in
the Southeast. With the cessation of the de-
rnand building materials in other parts OF
the country the Southeast will find oppor-
tunity to secure materials for continuing con-
struction in the winter before the spring de-
mand from other parts of the country and from
Europe begins.
These facts of the situation that win have
the consideration of the intending builder.
