TAIL the rabbit girl, could stay home on
account of it being Saturday, Uncle
Wiggily, the bunny rabbit gentleman,
heard Susie saying:
"Oh. Sammie! Won't you try to make
me one?"
Nope! I can't! I'm going to make
a snow house with Billie and Johnnie
Bushytail" answered the boy rabbit.
I'm sorry. When l come back I'll
make you one"
"Oh. dear! | wonder how | can get
one now?' sighed Susie.
Il wonder what it is Susie wants--a
snow pie or an icicle pudding?" thought
Uncle Wiggiy, '11l just keep still here,
behind the door, and see what she want
ed Sammie to make. Perhaps | can
make it myself"
Sammie. the rabbit boy, put on his
cap and mittens and hoped over the
snow covered fields and through the
woods to have some fun with the
Bushytail squirrel boys. But Susie

The detective roune a furnace in

that on or ABOUT June 10 he saw a
package in the furnace resembling a
bundle of bedclothes. The fire was
smouldering, but when it burst into
names the janitor saw what sp-
peared to be charred flesh, and he
detected the odor of burning flesh.
At the time the janitor said he be-

All of the vital organs of the dead

TATUM TO BE RELEASED
AFTER GIVING NEW CLUES

Birmingham, Ala, July 25. -
After twenty-four hours of inter-
mittent questioning. George Lyons,
chief of the detective of the Bir-
mingham police department., says he
is convinced that A. A. Tatum. limo
type operator, has no criminal
knowledge of the New York-Detroit
trunk murder mystery, and that he
is planning to release Tatum on
his own cognizance. Tatum, how
ever, is said to have revealed tan
gible clues upon which the police
of Detroit are understood to be
working and which may result in
solution of the case.
Tatum on Saturday night went to
detective headquarters voluntarily
after he had seen his name in dis
patches from New York and Detroit
concerning the trunk mystery.
The tag on the trunk bore the
name of "A. A. Tatum." and a New
York expressman produced a letter
concerning pudported owneship of
the trunk. signed by "A. A. Tatum. :"
The Birmingham man in the case
told Chief Lyons he had returned
recently from Detroit and had rea-
son to believe the woman whose
body was found in the trunk was
Katherine Jackson. of Starkesville,
Miss, with whom he had been on
intimate terms in Detroit. All ef-
forts of the Birmingham police and
local friends of the girl mentioned
by Tatum to get in touch with her
have been unavailing.
If the murdered woman is Kath-
crime Jackson, as Tatum suspects.
the case is one of the eternal tri-
angle" Tatum told the police the
girl had told him she was married
to a man whom he knew by the
name of T.. Leroy, the man men,
toned in the New York dispatches.
Tatum said the girl told him her
husband was jealous and that she
permitted him to meet her only
when and where she willed on that
account. Chief Lyons Is inclined to
agree with Tatum in his conten ntion
that the murder was committed by
a jealous man who later framed
on Tatpm to cover his own trail,
A message received by Chief Ly-
ons early Sunday morning from De-
troit authorities indicates that the
police there believed that Tatum
and Leroy are one and the same
man.

was too great a handicap for even
Florida to overcome.
An increase of 2S.6 per cent in six
years 70 rthat is what it really
amounts to, is fine.
The only industry that flourished
during the war period in Florida was
agriculture. The South was told 1t
would have to feed itself or starve;'
and Florida fed itself and a large part
OF the country besides. There were no
great war industries to bring great
population to the state; there were
no mines that had to be worked for
coal and iron for the navy of the
country and the munition works of the
world It's own great phosphate in
dustry was paralyzed and it was hard
to get help in grove or or Farm.
In addition to this prevention of po
ulation growth during the period, was
the war, taking thousands of ouT
young manageable men from the
state and interfering with the nominal
increase through the establishment of
new families. Also, the big wages
paid In the shipyards and other great
industries of the north and east drew
heavily from the population; and even
the farms were drained Of their labor
when the negro hands forsook the pillow
for the higher paid labor in the great
centers of population and industry.
The state has made a wonderful
showing in growth. 1t is builded on
a firm foundation; and will erect a
structure within the next five years
which will, for beauty and perform
ance, tower far above many another
state which today is showing a greater
ten-year growth because of it's having
enjoyed a surplus visitation. for money
purposes, from thousands of neighbor-
ing states.-Tampa Tribune.

a GOOD INVESTMENT.

After many backward years, Pen
sacola may now rightfullX lay claim to
being among the most progressive
cities In the state, in relation to edu-
cational opportunities. The erection
OF the modern and commodious high
school building and new grammar
school building. both of which will be
built within a short time, will mean
more 10 Pensacola than the actual re-
Spouse to present needs. It win mean
that. with these new facilities, will
come new opportunities, not only for
the children. but for the community as
a whole.
There are two questions which are
invariably asked by those who are
looking out for new locations: Is this a
church. going community? What kind
Of schools do you have? By the way
these questions may be answered, a
community is measured by many who
seek new environment.
Pensacola has always been a city of
churches But the school facilities
here have been most inadequate for a
