pork at 30 cents a pound. Although he
has given much serious consideration
to the high cost of living the president
remarked to Mrs. Wilson that brings
it home to you when YOU see a big
sign like that"

YACHTSMEN TO
BUY Sail BOATS
Pensacola Yacht Club Organizes
Syndicate to Prepare for
Upton Trophy Races.

Members of the Pensacola Yacht
Club took steps last night toward or
ganizing a syndicate to buy three first
class boats from the Southern Yacht
Club of New Orleans, in order to be
able to take part in the races this
summer for the Sir Thomas Upton
$4,000 trophy. The syndicate is limited
to club members and the boats will be
sailed under the direction of a board
of governors appointed by Commo-
dore Cross.
The report of Captain James c.
Watson in which he detailed the work
of the West End Club last year
aroused much interest in the sailing
game and it is believed that the sport
will be revived here this year. Plans
for acquiring the boats will be pushed
and an effort will ne made to have
them delivered by May 1,
Commodore Cross appointed a COM
mittee consisting of Ex- Commodore
Lindenstruth; chairman, Capt. Wat
son, Lucky Baldwin, Charles Cottrell
and J. D. Carroll to push the organiza-
ton. Commodore Lindenstruth will
call meeting in a day or two to take
action.
