IMPETUS ADDED BY
GOOD CROP PROSPECT
Fair Promoters and Men In

Counties Will Be Invited
Here On July Is.

With crop conditions and the agri-
cultural and live stock industry gen
orally in this section the best ever and
with the people manIfesting the great
interest in fairs that is to be heard
expressed from all quarters, an Inter
State or at least a tri-county fair at
Molino this fall is being suggested by
many interested parties and it be-
came known yesterday that Commits
sioner l.. w Hardy Is making plans
looking TO the organization OF fair
project on broader scope even than
that of the E,scambia County rar.
The next meeting of the Escambia
County Fair Association is scheduled
10 be held here on July Is and it is
understood TO be tho intention of Mr.
Hardy to invite officials of the Bald
win County, Alabama, Fair Associa-
ton. of the Escambia County. Ana
bama, Association and of Santa Rosa
county men and women who are
known to be interested i'm such a move
ment to attend this meeting with q.
vieY TO determining upon the pros
poets for fair this fall at Moline
that would be representative agricul-
turaI and live stock show of west
Florida and South Alabama farmers.
Mr.. Hardy has stated that such
show could be easily arranged for at
Molino with the outlay OF but little go
pense, comparatively. in addition TO
the buildings and equipment already
on the grounds there.
With the Molino bridge completed
and usable By fall as is hoped for.
Santa Rosa county farmers would find
Molina a most suitable and convent
entity located fair site and many of
them have been heard to express in
terest in and hope for these accom-
plishments.
For years past, Baldwin county,
Alabama, has born the reputation or
putting on some OF the very best
county fairs in this section of the two
states. in fact it is understood that on
but few occasions has she been beaten
and then it took Escambia county,
Florida, with her usual fine display of
agricultural produces and live stock.
under the management of Mr.. Hardy,
to do it.
1t is expected that Escambia coun-
ty would again make a better show
ing than Baldwin. but expressions from
the neighbor county in the neignUor
state have come over the line TO the
effect that she can't, and interest I'm
the argument seems well calculated
to aid in bringing about the organiza-
/ . of a fair movement that this fall
W ould embrace at least three or four
counties and that would eventually
embrace practically all of the West
Florida counties and many of the
south Alabama counties in an inter-
state kassociation.

Duncan Z. Fletcher.
The governor said that he is noc

CHICO BRIDGE
TOBE HURRIED
CONSTRUCTION
Open Channel is Wanted
Not Later Than July | for
Passage of New Steel Ship
"Cushnoc."

Notice has been served on Contrac-
lift bridge across Bayou Chico for the
county, and the Electric Railway COM
pany, that the bridge must be com
pleted and the channel clear for the
passage of ships not later than July 1.
1t is understood that the Emergency
Fleet Corporate mis- behind the notice.
and that the reason is that the new
ship Cushnoc is to be sent out on her
initial voyage from the plant of the
Pensacola Shipbuilding Company on
or about the above date.
1t was at first reported that the
county commissioners were concerned
over the notice. and were making un-
usual efforts to comply with its terms,
but Commissioner Suderlind, in whose
district the bridges are located, stated
that the county's bridge is nearly com
pleted and can, without special diff
Guilty, be opened for the Cushnoc on
July l, and that the responsibility
lies with the contractor and not with
the commissioners. He lAdicated that
the contractor would have more of
problem with the Electric Railway
Company's part of his task than with
the county end of ii, as the railroad
bridge is not as near completion; and
he thought thai traffic on the railroad
would be likely to be somewhat OBJ
structed for few days as a result.

munication from the mayor of Nancy,

appealed to the American embassy in
Paris. He explained that he was ex-
ceedingly anxious that the people of
Pittsburgh read the words of apprecia :
ton of the folk of Nancy for two
flags presented to them in connection
with the Bastile Day celebration here

letter in another envelope, read
dressed it, and Mayor Babcock re-

ENGLAND SAYS
CAN HAVE TRADE
OF SOUTH AMERICA

London. June 16.-Belief that Great
Britain can have the trade of South
America for the asking despite the
competition which the United States
has AIilt up there during the war,
was expressed by Gordon Ross, form
erly financial editor of the Buenos
Aires Standard, in an address he de-
livered here recently. Mr.. Ross is
quoted as saying that there is in some
South American republics a jealous
fear os the extension of the influence
of the United States and he repeated
the statement that it had been cyni-
caIly said in South America that the
Monroe Doctrine meant not so much
America for the. Americans" as
America for North Americans"
Mr. Ross told his hearers that Brit
ish neglect of advertising in South
America had an important effect upon
their trade; that it was important that
catalogues should be published in tho
language Of the people and that prices
should be quoted in the currency of the
country

CENTURY IS TO
HAVEA MODERN
SEWER SYSTEM
Alger Sullivan Company Are
af1ce of Sanitation in Com
batting Disease.

The Alger- Sullivan Lumber Com
pany of Century, has decided to in
stall in that town a modern water
carrier sewerage system at once at
an expense of from $4,000 to S12, 900.
This is regarded as a stron gendorse-
ment of the vigorous health cam
paign now. being walked in the county;
and much praise is being given in IA
vor of sanitation and of a full-tim5,
health officer for the county by the
appropriation of budget funds raised
by taxation.
The necessity of such action at
Century was emphasized by seven
cases of typhoid fever and one death
there recently. The lumber company
at once had district state health
officer come to the town and make a
thorough investigation to determine
the cause of an outbreak of the dis
ease; and the officer initiated sew
eral lines of activity. chief of which
was an effort to stop the contamina-
tion of food supplies by flies from
insanitary open surface privies.
The health official found the lum-
Der company not only willing but
keen TO do anything to conserve the
health of its employees and to keep
them at work. The result is the de-
cision to install the sewerage sys-
tenn and abolish the surface privies.
The company stated that the coSS
would be considered small by them in
view of the good results that could so
easily be secured. The money would
be regarded as well invested, officials
of the company were said to have de-
clared.
An engineer of the state board Of
health is making a survey this week,
so that no delay need occur in the in
stanation. Century citizens express
themselves as hopeful that they may
be able to OUTRAGE Pensacola to the
honors of being the first town in Es-
Gambia county to be sanitarily clean,
wit hall surface closets eliminated

IRELAND WANTS
REPUBLIC AND
NOTHING ELSE

Dublin, June 15.-The net result Of
the visit to Ireland of three American
delegates representing Irish societies
in America apparently has been to
convince the American visitors that
the great majority Of the Irish people
desire republic and nothing else.
Another apparent effect has been to
convince doubling sections of the Irish
people that the establishment of an
Irish republic is practical.
The American visitors dealt with
De Valera as though he were a real
president. The Unionists passed reso-
Iutions and set all the wires working
to check any possible relation between
Premier Lloyd George and the Irish
republicans
