PORT DISCRIMINATION.

The embargo placed on shipment of all classes
of freight, and particularly food-stuffs, destined
for American troops abroad and the population
of Europe, through the ports of New York, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia for export, by order of the
freight traffic committee, again calls attention
TO the discrimination against southern ports,
and particularly those of the Gulf coast, 1.-The use
of whcih would materially aid in the satisfactory
distribution of freight and relieve the congestion
of the eastern ports.
Last winter much the same state of affairs
of eastern seaports.
Whether the resignation of Director-General
William G. McAdoo and the consequent changes
in the railroad administration had anything to
do with the freight congestion is mooted ques-
ton. The probability is that this would have
taken place. under any circumstances, owing to
the great amount of cargo to be transported
abroad and the weather conditions which obtain
at this time.
But the fact remains that freight congestion
is again causing heavy loss to this country and
throwing awry the plans of the United States
government which, in the administration of rail-
road affairs. might well utilize the ports of the
Mason Dixie line, and particularly the Gulf
ports, TO great advantage.
The recent diversion of shipments of nitrate
and pig iron through this port, has called atten-
ton to the fact that both imports and exports
may be satisfactorily handled here.
1T is not reasonable to suppose that cargoes
destined for New York, Boston or Philadelphia
would be diverted to this port. But it is to be
assumed that much of the freight destined for
South America and the Orient, via the Panama
canal, could be shipped through this port, thus
relieving the congestion of eastern ports, and
making it possible for the cargoes of freight
intended for the soldiers and people of France
England and Italy to be cared for.
And indeed there is no valid reason why ship
ments may not go out from this port to these
named countries, today as in past years. wher
cargoes left Pensacola daily for such destination

THE SMALL SAVINGS.

Although Florida finished near the bottom of
the list of states in total sales of the War Saw
ing Stamps drive, this state ranks near the top
in the list of southern states, and Escambia
county heads the list
The government will continue the drive for
the Baby Bonds, and Escambia county will con-
tinue to establish records in the future, this
county has in the past
To the man or the woman who is unable to
make investments which require any great
cash outlay the War Saving Stamps offer an
opportunity for SAVING which no other govern
ment securities afford
To invest twenty-five cents at time may seem
little thing; to put five dollars into War Saw
lngs Stamps does not seem momentous, but the
Thrift Stamp and the Baby Bond make nest
egg not TO be despised, and have most certainly
proven their value to the small investor.
The War Saving certificates proved particu-
larry popular with the farmers and many work
ing women, who finding it impossible to pay out
any considerable sum at time, had no difficulty
IN paying the small sum eacl week meant at the
end of the year a goodly sum saved towards
future prosperity.
The American people, wasteful by nature and
tradition, are becoming the savers of the world,
and it is safe to say that this nation will never
again be satisfied without some form of govern
ment issue intended especially for the convent
ence of the small investor

QUEER FRANCE
NOW REPORTS

Behind the Lines In France, Jan. g.
This land Of recent battles is a queer
land now Over the shell torn viii
lagos and blasted woods. the pitted
fields and the ruin OF all that once
was, is a strange quiet. The winter
sky is lacking in airplanes and grdeat
flocks of crows have taken their place.
A few villagers have crept back to
see what remains of their homes and
holdings, but they are few and prob
ably the winetr will have passed be-
fore reclamation and reconstruction
are undertaken on a large scale
Along the roads repaired and re-
bridged for the allies advance into
German territory, long cannon trains
move slowly and always southwark.
They travel leisurely now, for the
need OF hurry is gone. They bring
back the salvage Of battlefields, all
the things that go to make war, aban-
dOned or captured.
Truck load after truck load of rifles
and shells. of water bottles and haver-
sacks, cartridges, machine guns, bayo-
nets and trench knives and pistols,
mess kits, overcoats, an endless cata-
LOCUS of araphernalia are brought liz.
The battle zone is still full of it all,
in heaps and racks, waiting salvage.
Now and then come trains of air
plane camions, burdened with dis
mantled flying machines of ovArv tvr'
and every nation, engine ana iusiIage
and running gear on the truck and the
great wings on its specially designed
trailer. Some of them are unframed,
but many show bullet holes through
the frail fabric or the ruins Of crash.
A fair proportion OF them bear the
Maltese cross that marks them Boche.
There are trains of captured enemy
artillery, particularly of motor bat
terieS, driven and manned by French
men, and these are happy outfits. Of

LOOK UP.

Air rights What rights has a man in the air
over his house, his barn or his Office or apartment
building?
No, this isn't really foolish question.
Air laws are going to be necessary right soon.
1t used to be said that the landowners owned
down to the middle of the earth and up to the
ether-belt.
Passenger airships will soon be travelling the
skies of all nations. One such carried 40 pas
sengers over London the other day. You'll be
travelling through the air yourself by and by.
1t will be attractive travelling No ruts in the
air. No mud splashing. No running off the rails
No holding up one airship because another is
late. Fast time-1OO miles an hour. And all that
Airlanes will need definition by statute. Pilots,
airlines, will need licenses Terminal privileges
will be valuable. Laws for their regulation will
be necessary. Rights of passengers will need
consideration. Rates of fare will call for legal
enactments Air police will be needed by large
cities and for proper patrol of country districts.
Thus will grow up a new body of law calling
for new experts in it's definition. Air laws ought
to be made and administered by persons having
some knowledge of aeronautics. Schools will
need textbooks on aeronautics as they now need
revised biographies and new manuals of political
economy. Colleges will need courses in air laws
to prepare air lawyers and air judges for the new
problems.
A long look ahead, this? Not so long, perhaps.
This is the New Age when conception and exc
cution merge, when ideas are born full-grown
as nations are born in day.
Look up at this new sky filling with airplanes
and be ready for the problems whose limit is the
sky.

FOOD AND STOCK.

The crop output of 1918 was excellent in part,
but conspicuously short in animal feed-stuffs,
such corn, hay, oats and potatoes, this short
age being an unfavorable element in the produc-
ton of live stock.
Until recent years West Florida has not been
considered advantageously located livestock
region but with the eradication of the cattle tick,
this section of the state will come into her own,
provided the farmers of this section do their
part.
Escambia county has demonstrated that the
very best grade of corn may be grown in this
county, and the hay, oats and potatoes flourish
here.
Several years ago a young woman residing in
this county having been told by farmers living
near her, that she could not raise good crop
of oats, set her stubborn young head to prove
that she could. And the crop of oats she raised
was satisfactory, in spite of the fact that she
did not even pretend to be farmer that she
found herself and her bumper crop written up
in Georgia Farm paper, and was well paid for
her crop and the illustrated article, which won
her prize well as much honor.
What the boys corn club and the girls of this
county do the farmers can do, and it be-
hoves them to set to work and raise corn, pota-
toes, hay and oats, thus relieving the shortage
of feed for cattle. Raise the feed and then raise
the stock to consume the feed That is the way
to solve one of the problems that of transpor-
tation, which the small farmer faces.
There are number of farmers in West Flori-
da now who raise practically all the food their
families consume. There should be hundreds
OF these instead of dozens of them. So would
this county come into her own and gradually this
section would become the great stock-ralslng
centre it should now be, and shipments to other
markets at good prices and under satisfactory
conditions, would soon follow.
