builders, for which plans had actually

suspension.
Many of these new buildings and
improvements were projected for the
central portion Of the city. As an eN-
ample, the Fidelity Trust Co. owing
10 the inadeouacy of its present build
ing at 325 Chestnut street. for accom-
modation of its growing business, had
planned for some time to put up great
banking institution on the site owned by
IL at the southeast corner OF Broad
and SAMSON streets.
The high cost of building has had q
deterrent effect on the plan. however.
Where Il had expected TO begin opera
tions in short time, plans for this de-
velopment are now nowhere in sight.
,tficials of the company deny that they
nave abandoned the project. but on the
other hand they are unable to state
when the improvement will be started.
According to the arrangements which
had been made. the lease on the Forrest
Theatre. which occupies the Broad
street site, expired this year. after
which time the playhouse vas to have
been razed to make room for the new
building. Now the lease for the theatre
will be renewed for at least another
year.
The Fidelity on Monday effected
consolidation with the Logan Trust 70,
which gives It another banking building
at IA3l 81 Chestnut street.
II had been determined by the Girard
Trust Co. to use the site Of the Little
Hotel Wilmot and an adjoining prop
erty which it owns to build Il wing
on South Penn Square to accommodate
the demand for increased space which
its business is now making. But from
present indications officials Of the bank
saw they will have TO rest content with
their present building at the northwest
corner Of Broad and Chestnut streets.

FARE REFUND WEEK.

Few. movements ever inaugurated
In this part Of the state offer such
possibilities for cooperation between
the buying public and the merchant,
as does Pensacola Trade Week. The
people Of this section will have an OPP
portunity, through the program for
INFLATED under the direction Of the
Retail Merchants Association to buy
in Pensacola, with no additional cost
for fare, a fare refund plan having
been carefully worked out in such a
way as to assure every purchaser Of a
certain amount that he will have his
fare refunded. From Saturday, July
26. till July 3rd. the buying public
will be given every opportunity to
visit Pensacola and making purchases
from the Pensacola stores.
At the same time, an opportunity is
offered for relaxation, in the way OF
recreational parties. Bayview. only
the distance of a short ride from the
city furnishes a delightful bathing
resort, and for those who want to
visit the island, there will be ample
facility.
It is not too muchi to say that Fare
Refund week is of great Importance,
not only in a business way, but in
drawing the counties of this district of
Florida closer together. In giving the
movement their support, the merchants
interested are doing splendid thing
not only for themselves. but for their
section.

AS TO sHoppY.

Half a billion pounds Of shoddy
were thrown on the American clothing
market in 1919, while a billion pounds
of unmanufa virgin wool were
accommodating in the storehouses.
Shoddy is made Of wooden rags, re-
spun perhaps as often as eight times.
1t is woven with a small percentage of
virgin wool to stick the broken fibres
together. OF the go. 100000 yards of
"all WOOL cloth produced by the ma
TONS mills, the amount of shoddy
used would have produced 380.000.000
yards. If straight shoddy cloth had
been turned out. Mixed With a little
new wool, it entered into the compo-
sition OF vastly greater yardage. In
the same period, the amount Of new
wool used would have produced 240,-
100000 yards of virgin wool cloth, il
it had not been adulterated with
shoddy.
These statistics were made public
today by the National Sheep and
Wool Bureau of America, No. 20 South
La Sale street, which is organizing
the sheep. farm and business inter-
ests of the country behind the French
Capper Truth in Fabric bill. This bill
was left in the hands of the Inter
houses of Congress at adjournment. It
is designed to compel manufacturers
to stamp their cloth with the per-
centages of virgin wool and OF shoddy

But the point is back of the ques-

Prayer is like driving a car. You
do not have to understand to pray.
You do not have to know how God
answers prayer. Why should you ex-
pect to? The complexities of Gods
universe are past finding out. The in
tricacies of life and law in their re-
action on each other require the
thought of omniscience. If it were
requircd that man master all this be-

know. He is merely required to trust.
It requires but an act of faith TO
climb into the chariot of the Almighty

'RUMANIA HAS
BRIGHT FUTURE
INDICATIONS FOR AN EXCEL
LENT CROP ARE GOOD AND
LARGE ACREAGE HAS BEEN
PLANTED.

Bucharest, June Pr UNI ania's
crops this year promise TO be exceed
ingly abundant, provided no. drought
sets in. Nearly four fifths of a corn
crop has already been planted. The
government hopes to be in a position
to export a large quantity of cereals
this year. This is expected by Ru-
rnanians to bring up the present low
valueo of the Rumanian franc which
is about two cents. The ministry of
industry and commerce has entered
into a contract with the Italian gov
eminent for the early delivery OF 49,
600 carloads of maize.
The farmers are much retarded I'm
their work by reason of the scarcity
of horses, draught oxen and agricul-
tural implements. None Of the farm
ing machinery carried off by the
Germans has been replaced. Horses
and oxen have been brought into the
country from Hungary and Transyl
vania, but the number is inadequate.
Much industry has been tied up by
lack of tools, machinery and transpor-
tation. There is a fertile field in Ru-
mania for American agricultural inn
plements of all kinds.
The taking of the government of all
state and institutional lands and more
than 1000, 600 acres of private hold
ings, for use by the peasants, is ex-
pected to have stimulating influence
on production. 1t is the first time
