naval base, said:
There is no doubt about the capacity OF the
harbor, which meets all requirements to access

What we have not got is the navy spirit. We
should have the Fairgrounds for the men. and facl-

The officer has suggested as slogan for this
city: Pensacola. the Home Of the Destroyer Fleet
And this slogan is good one.
Another officer high naval circles. in comment
ing recently upon Pensacola as naval base. said
that this harbor ideal for the concentration OF
destroyer force and declared that at least three
hundred such vessels could be modified here at
time
The possibility OF making Pensacola home port
for the destroyer fleet suggested by him. and
he called attention to the fact that both England
and France had such bases where the men could
have their homes and their families.
Pensacola naval base is one OF the most inn
portant Of all local movements, and one which de-
ponds not so much upon the United States govern
ment as upon the people themselves.
The people Of community are far too apt to
think of the army and navy great implacable
machine, operated by Uncle Sam, and not Of the
personalities which direct those machines.
But the personal equation enters into everything.

the United States navy is going to place its fleets
not only where ships will be safe, but where the

PROPER CARE WILL CUT MACHIN-
cry ELL.

Prices Of farm machinery have
mounted until the machine cost per
acre, according to L. B. Bassett, assis-
tant professor Of farm management,
University Farm, is now nearly double
what it was formerly. "This,' says
Mr.. Bassett, "should stimulate farmers
to pay more attention to the care of
all Implements. The useful life Of the
machine is no longer now than it was
when prices were much lower. One Of
the greatest sources Of loss in farm
machinery is the loss from the lack of
housing. This cost should not exceed
4 per cent annually of the value of the
machinery housed. That is, if a ma
chine shed cost $500, the annual cost
of the shed could be figured about as
follows: Interest on $500 at 6 per cent,
$48; depreciation Of shed, 2 per cent,
SIG; interest 81; taxes, 81; repairs,
paint, etc., 81. The total, $72, is 4 per
cent of $1,000, therefore~a shed that
cost $500 should house at least $500
worth of farm machinery. If this is
true, the cost of shelter Of machines
would be approximately 4 per cent Of
their value, or it would cost about 81
a year to house a machine that cost
500. If the shed can be built for less
the machinery cost and cost of
production will be correspondingly re-
duced.'
