ONE-HORSE DRAY.

The Literary Digest notes that zone of the
southern states has been looking into the Ques-
ton of using the airplane in the fight against
the mosquito. In fact, the head of the State
Board of Health has gone far as to make in
curry of airplane experts to the best type of
machine for use in searching out mosquito
breeding swamps. That certainly will be fight
ing the mosquito in his own way-flying to him
and hitting him in his own house..
The Journal does not know which of the
southern states is in need of airplane to
search out the mosquito. Certainly they not
needed here in West Florida, where does not
have to fly very high go very far, before he
comes upon them, with their entire orchestra
well tuned up and their fiercest armies getting
in their poisonous work.
The day may come in Pensacola when we will
have to appeal to the flying school to chase the
stegomyia, but at present all need is one
horse dray, public servant for the services of
which the people have already paid, and some
oil to pour in the manholes, pools, ETC.. to check
the mosquito nuisance.

| Dear Mr. Editor:
ma more than two-thirds of the
| people in Pensacola do not know is
| that the Woman's home is az 1aro
| \. Davis street That IL is situated
between two small houses, which if
| either OF them went on fire-espe..iarly
II SUCH thing were to happen in the
| nlsht-there would be no chance of
saving the home. Now picture. If YOU
| can what a panic there would be
among the nine helpless old women
five of the nine are almost totally bind
| And thc others are crippled with rheu-
matism.
These old people need 4 home where
Trey can each have a room TO herself
| as 1t Is now there are two in some
| of the small rooms When one * i'll
| the other still has to sleep in the room
and breathe the foul air, as these
small rooms have only one window
The managers of the Home associa-
| ton nave been trying to save enough
money to get better homeland had
a drive last year for that purpose
| There was something over a thous-
and dollars collected and any thing
| over and above the regular monthly ex-
! penses, has been placed with this
| fund. and the association now has
/ oOOuI SISHlSSH dollars saved
! towards a new home-But this is
| only a small mite compared to what
| is needed.
The monthly expense of the home
is about seventy-five dollars
Tine public has right to know what
is done with the money they con
! tribute to the care and support of
these helpless old people and TO know
that 'ncy get the full benefit CT it.
We Iced a home where the old pro-
pie can all be on the ground floor,
and near car line. They do not want
20 b. put off in some lonely place
where they can not sre anything, for
they like to see people and things pass
ing 10y
They Rave all seen better days, and
'.i~curn stances over which they had no
control has brought them to the home
to be subjects of mercy and where God
is testing your heart, and profession OF
Christianity in the way you treat
them, for "in as much as you do it
unto one of these the least of my chill
dren we do it unto me-"
Now let all get together and do
as a lady said the other day-"COme
on and lets help the home all can
for we might have to go there some
day ourselves"

TO SELL SURPLUS.

The decision of the Central Labor and Trade
Council to take steps to secure some of the sur
plus stocks to be sold by the war department is
an important movement, and deserving of the
widest cooperation.
According to the Washington bureau the war
department has finally decided a definite
policy for the sale of it's surplus food supplies
to the public.
Secretary Baker has just approved plan of
which these the salient points:
1. Canned meats and vegetables will be sold
to the mayors other officials of municipalities
in carload lots. An order for $4,000 pounds will
be accepted as a carload.
2. Meats will be sold at 80 per cent of their
cost to the government; vegetables will be sold
at full cost price.
8. Goods will be consigned to municipalities
on credit; that is, to be paid for after they are
sold, and within 10 days of sale.
4. They will be sold f. o. b. the city where the
supplies stored; that is, the government will
load them on freight cars, but will not prepay the
freight.
5. Prices for all the varieties of foodstuffs
on hand will be announced next week in the va
rous supply offices about the country. Or
ders may then be placed Immediately with the
nearest zone supply office.
lHiS IL easy LOT community buying
clubs to purchase army food at exceedingly low
prices. All that is necessary is to get the coop
Grafton of the mayor of the city, and to get him
to order carload of canned meat or
vegetables.
Sealed bids will not be necessary. The only
red tape involved in the plan is that of ordering
the goods from the supply officer and ar
ranging for the payment of the freight when
the goods arrive.
The carloads may be mixed that is, any city
can buy carload made up half Of meats and
half of vegetables. This makes it possible for
many small towns to buy which otherwise could
not because they could not dispose of an entire
carload of one kind of meat or vegetables
The decision to sell the meats at 20 per cent
below cost means another great saving to the
American people
Even if the people paid the same prices for the
meats that the army paid for them, they would
get them at far less than the present retail prices
Here are the average prices the war depart
ment paid for its meats, with the approximate
price which the public will pay for the same
meats:

vote on this proposition was nearly
ten to one in its favor, and now comes

there will be an election held in that
county on the 9Th of August for some

The cost of shipping the supplies from the
storage house to the place where it is to be sold
will have to be added to the price charged the
public, of course but that will be less than cent
pound. If the goods purchased in large
quantities, the cost of shipment will be so small
that it won't be felt by Individual buyers
Schoolhouses can be used as market places, if
necessary. AS was done in Baltimore, public
spirited members of womens clubs can serve as
saleswomen.
Find out how much food you can dispose Of
and what kind. If necessary, write to the zone
supply officer of the department nearest
your city and ask him what supplies he has on
sale, and what the prices are.

 LEAVE DEC. 6

Paris, Nov. 2s. = Any delay which may eventually be found necessary in the exchange of notifications required to put the German Peace Treaty into effect will not change the plans of the American peace delegation it was learned Wednesday. Under Secretary of State Polk and the other delegates will leave Paris in the evening of De- cember 5. The delegation will sail from Brest on December 6. Only a couple of exports will be left here to complete the work in hand.
 The subsequent participation by Americans in the work of the peace conference, according to the view here, will probably be extremely limit ed unless there are indications \early in the December session of the Senate that a satisfactory ratification of the Treaty is in sight.
