GREAT LAKES IS
 RECORD BUILDER

WASHINGTON, May 9.-First hon. ors in the building of ships during the war was awarded today to the shipping board to the Ninth or Great Lakes district. Held by canal restric- tions to lighter type of vessel than was built on the seaboard, the dis trict did not produce so many net tons as other sections, but outstrip- ped all other districts in the num- Der of ships. In one year it put into service 125 more vessels than were delivered from all American yards in the year before the United States en- tered the war.
 At the. outbreak of the war, Great Lakes yards, which had developed a highly efficient type of cargo car rier, were at work on 100 bottoms for foreign account. All were requisition- ed by the shipping board and the first ship turned over to the board under its war program was the Limoges, 2930 ton freighter, built at Toledo Twenty-seven ships were finished and put to sea before the canal froze in 1917.
 While winter gripped the Lakes new work was continued and the ex- isting fleet, even old boats which had been laid up were oVerhauled Summer saw every available craft worked and overworked as never be- fore, keeping the stream of grain, ron ore, coal and manufacturers nov ing toward the east, for shipment to the men in Europe.

 Additional contracts for S46 ships of 4200 tons each have been placed in the district since the last requisi- tioned ship was finished in October, the program to be completed by the close of navigation this year. Since the signing of the armistice 100000 tons of shipping have been delivered. Orders also have been placed in the district for 25 steel sea-going tugs, 19 wood sea-going tugs, two steel harbor tugs and 39 wood harbor tugs.

A COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS

For a number of years The Journal has fostered
two movements which have at last come to be OF
such local importance to lead to feel secure
in the prediction that they will live for all time
one of these is the st. Nicholas Girls Christmas
celebration, the other is the community Christmas
tree.
Seven years ago young Pensacola girl rang
the telephone of The Journal office and said she
wanted The Journal to help her bring happiness into
the lives of the little children of Pensacola. One
of the women editors Of The Journal had asked
permission to try, way to answer the
Christmas letters that each year to The Jour-
nal office in of Santa Claus.
These two women, who loved all little children,
but whose hearts went out to those whom fortune
had forgot put their heads together, and borrowing
an idea from the Ladies' Home Journal. they in
troduced the st. Nicholas Girl to Pensacola.
That first ST. Nicholas girl Miss Ella Ward
now making her home in New Orleans. When
Miss Ward went away to make her home,
Mrs George Nicholson, Of Brooklyn, (then
Miss Ada Whitel succeeded her. and it was during
that year first aid to Santa Claus that the COM
munity Christmas tree idea for Pensacola was
evolved in The Journal office. Each this tree
has been voluntarily lighted by the Pensacola Elec
trio company.
The idea was suggested because the Christmas
celebration, with it's hundreds of gifts made it al
most impossible for the toys to be placed on a
tree with bright lights would represent the spirit
of the Christmastide
In its years Of growth the st. Nicholas
Girls celebration and the community Christmas tree
have grown to be almost municipal affairs, and to
the devoted interest of Miss Leila Abercrombe.
Miss Modiste Har gs and Miss Gail Binkey the cele
bration this year will be mainly due. Both Miss
Abercrombie and Miss Hargis have been connected
with the work for number of years.
One girl with love for little children in her
heart, has inspired thousands of others. until The
Journal feels sure that never in Pensacola will
Christmas dawn that every little child will not be
remembered by the good ST. Nick, who has many
willing helpers.
The fact that the Girls Community club will have
charge of the community Christmas tree this year.
and will remember the service men, as well, at
this happy Yuletide, gives additional reason for
believing that the two beautiful Christmas ideas.
which had their inception in The Journal office,
will live for all time to come

WEST FLORIDA LANDS

Whole tracts Of pine lands, which have until
recently presented the appearance OF waste because
of the hundreds Of blackened stumps gradually
passing out of existence and valuable farm lands
taking their place The timber and naval stores in
terests, which have overrun the pine forests have
had their day. and all over the south. but par
tcularly through Florida these lands being re-
claimed.
In Santa Rosa and OkaIoosa counties the progress
sive business men and farmers have combined
forming corporations which have gone into the
stump pulling business large scale. The
stump pullers" go into the business of clearing
the land at cost tn the farmers, so long as the
contractor gets the stumps. which later con-
verted into valuable yield
Here in Pensacola two great firms engaged
in making the pine and fat "lghtwood" into
products which have been worth hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars to this section.
Commenting on this the Mobile Register says:
The residue OF pine products from stump
is exceeding rich, 1t is explained. and even after
extracting this product the wood is still salable
to the excelsior making factory. and it is no
wonder that company has been formed with
capital of 100000 to make specially Of clear
ing Florida stump lands
To one who In the past has known of these
great stump land tracts, It is pleasure to travel
the country at this time and note the changed
appearance of the countryside. And it is also
pleasure to the native to see in place OF many
of these waste tracts new homes, carefully pre-
pared lands, neat wire fences enclosing the
homes, and in many instances a hish-powered
automobile standing in the garage The farmers
who are coming here bring with them the adj
vanced ideas in farming. The slo. the enlarged
barn. the undermined cattle pens, the improved
hog ranges, the painted home-all evidencing
progress.

No Soup Kitchens in Florida

We are told 100000 workers will be idle in the
one city of Chicago if the coal strike continues
much longer In Michigan quarter of million
workers dependent their daily wage to support
their families, will be thrown out of their jobs
unless coal be had very soon. Then there will
be breadlines and soup houses in cities, and
haggard, hooweyed women and hungry children
will be fighting for places in the line providing
about the railroad yards seeking stray Jumps OF
coal to fight off the bitter cold of winter strike
Of such character at such time is crime against
humanity and should be proceeded against as any
other crime. Governments first duty is the pro-
lection Of its people, less from foes Within than
from foes without If foreign army to
land our shores, would not hesitate to i'm
press men to repel the invaders If the bolshevist
leaders and their deluded followers persist in their
tyrannical and suicidal course, let them take the
consequences. and make them severe enough to be
warning for all time. Do not allow millions of
innocent people to starve freeze through long
and bitter winter, to save principle of than
doubtful value.
But all this could be avoided if the workers gen.
orally would follow the advice of that workingman
of Alfalfa. and get their tools and go to work 1t
is strange they cannot all it. 1t is theNony way
out of troubles-Tampa Times.

Injustice to Florida Stock Men

We observe that Georgia exhibitors of livestock
at the Florida state fair awarded about all
prizes. The News of the opinion that this was
Florida enterprise, promoted by Florida capital.
and we fail to the justice of letting livestock
rasers from other states compete with Florida
raised stock stock owned by Florida farmers.
The livestock industry is comparatively to this
state, and it is not to be expected that people
can make good showing of cattle, hogs, ETC.,
breeders in Georgia and other states, where the
for long term of years. 1t is all right proper
that Georgians should be granted space for exhibit
ing their stock if they wish to do So but it is not
right that they should be permitted to compete
against people for the prizes. There is consd-
cradle complaint along this line and if the present
policy of the fair management is continued they
need not expect much in the way of exhibits of
livestock from this section another, year.
Invite the stock rasers Of other states to show
their stock if they desire, but let them compete
among themselves, and not with people, who
have not had the opportunity to bring their stock
up to the point other states have. Much
good will be accomplished by confirming the prizes
to Florida stock, for farmers not going to
put their stock exhibit where they know they
have chance to win. Confine theI prizes to Flor
ida livestock, Mr.. Fair Management, if you desire
