geles in 1909, being connected with
the city by a long, narrow strip of
territory known as the "shoestring.
The breakwater which makes Los
Angeles one of the finest roadsteads
In the world, was authorized by con-
gress in 1887. To complete the har-
Dor, 1t was necessary to .dredge the
inner part. To aid in this work the
city made a bond issue of $4,000, 900
to which the government added an
equal amount. Subsequent appropria-
tions, with the expenditures made by
water, and work that is now under
way on this harbor, will bring the
total investment to about $22,000.o00.
How did the people of Los Angeles
get county and federal aid? They
went out after it. They showed a
willingness to do their part, and
they showed to the people of their
section and to the government that
the development of the great harbor
mant the development of all that ter
ritory contiguous.
Pensacola and West Florida need
to get a broader viewpoint. This Is
the greatest natural harbor on the
Gulf. But it muste be developed.
, When the day of its full growth
comes it will mean the expansion
not only of Escambia county. but of
all this territory.

for arising. Your cool reason uncol-
ored by emotion told you it was time
TO ARISE; but the idea was completely
submerged in the snug comfort Of the
bed. Yet when the door bell rang and
z friend was announced you sprang
out Of bed at once. The ointment or
fear OF being found in bed at a late
hour accomplished what the intellecu
alone was powerless to do so.
The power Of the emotional states IS
not only shown in our conduct but
what is sometimes just as important,
this influence is extended TO bodily
changes and the state Of our health as
well. This is particularly true II the
emotion is allowed to persist for long
period of time.
DR.. w. B. Cannon Of Harvard uni
versity has demonstrated that strong
excitement in man stops the secretion
OF the saliva, the gastric juice. the
pancreatic juice and the flow Of bile,
as well as the normal motions OF the
stomach and intestines. The blood Is
suddenly shifted from the abdominal
organs 10 the muscles and brain, the
heart beat is accelerated, the coagula-
ton time Of the brain is lowered, the
energy giving sugar content Of the
blood is greatly and suddenly increas-
ed and muscular fatigue is lessened.
All these changes are adaptive and
purposeful reflexes preparing the body
| for violent energy.
The evil effects upon health is seen
when one permits fears, worries and
anxieties to continually disturb the
bodily functions DR. Cannon states
that people who worry are evidently
allowing the body to go onto what
we may regard as a war footing when
there is no war 10 be waged, no fight
ing or struggle 10 be engaged in"
The influence OF the emotions on the
general health should be obvious to all
For example, one OF the commonest
experiences is the effect Of the emo
lions on the appetite.

Although a well known fact, few Of
US realize or profit by the influence
of the emotional states upon our daily
lives.
Most people congratulate themselves
that they are free beings, that the in
teIlect decides and directs their ac-
tions and that win is supreme over
conduct. Yet, after a little reflection
it is seen that this is by no means the
case. The major emotions of fear.
grief, love prejudice and sentiments of
various kinds exercise far greater con
troll than the viii or intellect.

Too long have we been wandering

From waste seas where deep callets

Use Waste Water Power.

The New York society for electri-
cal development, founded many years
ago by the pioneers in electricity, has
recently issued from its research and
statistical bureau, a report which car
ries to the lay mind an amazing story
of the growth and development of cleo
tricity in this country As an indus
try it ranks fourth among the great
industries of the country The birth OF
this giant among industries hardly
dates back farther than the early
eighties, so that its marvellous deveI-
opment is all included within the span
of an ordinary human life. 1t has
done much to eliminate the toll and
drudgery of our grandfathers' days,
and to make life better worth living,
and its capacity for development in
the future is practically unlimited 1t

vania line is using it daily on both
passenger and freight trains, and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul has 440
miles of road completely electrified
1t has been estimated that the rail-
roads consume one fourth of the 500
million tons of coal annually mined
in this country. and a large proportion
of this was consumed in the haulage Of

Dollar Corn and Prices


The price of bacon, pork chops, ham
and lard is dependent on the price OF
corn. 1t has been high for the las
three or four years because corn has
been high. Corn sold for $3.50 bushel
in 1917 and it was selling around 81
a sbushel in 1918 and 1919. 1t has now
slumped to 81 for the first time in
three years. There is a large crop.
The forecasts of the department of ag-
riculture place it at 3,131, 349, 900 bush
els, or about 100000 bushels bigger
than in any previous year.
When the pork products fattened on
the new crop of corn get on the mar
ket the consumer is likely to feel the
effects of the low price of feed. 1t will
take some months, however, for the
dollar corn to confer its benefits on
the householder. J. Ogden Armour
says that it will not be until next
year. He explains that the reduction
reflected in the price of meat for the
reason that the by-products of the
packing business are selling at SO low
price that the meat has to stay up.
There is encouragement for the
housewife in the prospect of a return

she buys.-Montgomery Times.

coal last year in electric generating
plants, and the 1861 such plants in the
United States produced 10000 ,o00, 900

as one writer puts it, to lift New York
city bodily off Manhattan island and
transport it to the Pacific coast.
The great advantage of electricity
over coal is that 1t can be produced

of the United States carry daily to the
seas. millions of unused horse power
which can, and eventually will be har-
messed to supply the needs of man.
When this is fully accomplished we
shall be independent of King Coal with
all it's embarrassing Accomplishments
of strikes, embargoes and priorities,
which have been so perplexing to the
ultimate consumer. Reasonable laws
and just government regulation would
shortly bring about the utilization of
the vast water power now running to
waste, which would undoubtedly save
an additional 100.OOO000 tons of coal

Soviet Turns Down
British Request to
Quit Fighting Poles

London, July 21.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press).-The refusal Of the
Russian Soviet government to cease
war against Poland at the behest Of
Great Britain, is contained in a Mos
COW wireless despatch received here
today. The refusal also constitutes
an appeal to the workers and peas
ants of Soviet Russia and the Tx
raine. 1t is signed by Permier Lenine,
Minister of War Trotzky, Foreign
Minister Tchitcherin and Minister of
Justice Kurksie, and says:
The British government addressed
a proposal to us July II to cease war
against Poland and begin peace nego-
tiations with Poland and other border
states, promising that the Polish
troops, in case Of an armistice being
concluded, would retreat to a frontier
marked last year by the Peace Con-
ference.
In thes anne note it was reported
that General Wrangel and his Grim
can shelter should not be touched. To
all this we, the Council of Peoples
Commissaries. answered by refusing.
IF England had not desired war
she was have stopped supplying Po-
land with munitions and money.
England is carrying on negotiations
with us as a concession to her work
ing masses"
