PENSACOLA TO BE ADVERTISED

For many months The Journal has
been preaching the gospel of publicity
for Pensacola and all Florida, through
the medium OF the press, as paid ad-
vertising, but it has taken a Tampa
firm to work out a plan for advertis-
ing Pensacola and other Florida cities
The firm of Knight & Wall, Tampa,
has hit upon a method of publicity
which will not only do much 20 at
tract attention to their own business
but will advertise the advantages and
resources of Florida in a splendid way
The advertising campaign started by
this firm might wen be adopted in
other cities. OF the plan which has
been outlined by the firm, the Tampa
Tribune says: "Thirty-six years ago,
when H. L. Knight and Perry c. Wall
established the firm of knight & Wall,
Florida was pictured as a mi-tropi-
cal swamp Astounding in alligators,
with almost uninhabited frontier to be
visited by tourists and globe trotters
only a few months during the winter.
Unexpected gains in Florida and the
rapid rise of new and great improve
ments. has infused into the minds of
Florida people a new conception of
Florida. They are now coming to re-
gard Florida as great state that has
arrived; a favored section, whose
natural attractions are known; a state
whose unlimited resources are attract
ting thousands of Northern investors
Florida's greatness now is not a dream

to his higher self. It came that night
to the Pearlhunter. He probably did
not recognize it, for the grimness of
the wilderness was in him; the hard
ness of the hard men among whom he
had lived his life.

smiled a contented smile of satisfac-

Wondering. she opened the drawer
of the small stand under the mirror
and placed pen and ink before him. He
picked up the pen, awkwardly-a fish
spear, an oar, or a six-gun fitted his
hand better-dipped it in the ink; laid
the draft upon the stand: squared him

ceeded in writing the word "Pearlhun-

He saw her arm reach up along the
easement. The blind came down.
Within touching distance of each other
they stood in pitch darkness; a man
and a woman-alone-wrap in the
silent secrecy of the deep woods. He
heard her quick breath. His heart
beat up into his throat. Her gar
ments brushed against him. He heard
her slippered feet feeling their way
across the floor.
There came the guarded scrape of a
match. A sputtering, tardy flame was
laid to the wick of a candle on small
stand in the corner under mirror.
The wick caught; smoldered; flared to
full strength. The wonder of her and
throat and arms sprange out of the
night. She laid the burnt match upon
the candle stick and turned. A gasp
broke from her at the sight of him
tattered, hatless: bruised and bloody
Forgive me that come before you
like-this," he stammered.
An impulsive step brought her to his
side.

voice still a-quiver; her face pity
rendered. You must let me dress your
hurts"
NO time for that
A droop of disappointment came to
her eyes.
We'll. this one on my head then" he
answered to the eyes. It's nothing
but scratch, but the blood does blind

The droop was gone instantly.
He shaded the candle with his body
while she raised the curtain over the
door and slipped out to the kitchen.
She was back before he could have
believed it, carrying a basin of cold
water and some strips of muslin, all of
which she had managed TO get to-
gether in the deep dark

Drawing a chair near the candle,
she made him sit down-a quite obvi-

head. But she didn't stop with wash
ing the clots out of his hair and bind
ing up the scalp wound. The cuts and
bruises on his face and chest came in
for their share. When her ministra-
tons were over he was another man.
All unsuspecting. the girl did other
things for him that night besides
washing his wounds. Nothing can SO
refine a man as the ministry of
good woman's hands. It never leaves
him quite as it found him. He can
never again be quite the same. His

SOUTHERN LINES
WANT INCREASES
RAILROADS IN THIS TERRITORY
MAKING FIGHT FOR IN
CREASED FREIGHT RATES

The railways Of the South have
asked the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission to grant an increase Of ap-
proximately 81 per cent on all freight
rates. In the application it is stated
that with the present wage scales and
costs>of fuel and other important ma
terials it will be necessary to secure
such an increase in freight rates to
enable the railways to earn six per
cent on the value of the property used
for transportation purposes as pro-
vided in the recently enacted trans
portation act. No increase in passen-
ger fares is asked.
The application gives figurea for
the year ending October 81, 1919, and
shows that the net operating income
of the railways Of the South as a
whole was equal less than two per
cent on their property investment;
furthermore that wages and other
costs have increased greatly since
that date and that at the present time
the same volume of business would
give the railways no appreciable e.
turn on the value of their property de-
voted to public use.

FREIGHT JAM IS
STILL SERIOUS
GOVERNMENT is ASKED TO TAKE
= EMERGENCY ACTION TO RE-
LiEVE SITUATION
(By the Associated Press)


3 Washington, May 15.-The govern
ment was asked today to take emer-
gency action, similar to that taken
when this country entered the var, to
help dig the railroads out from ucder
the worst freight congestion that this
country has experienced since the
hard winter of 1917.
A Joint appeal to the interstate
commerce commission from the AS
sociation of Railway Executives and
the America nRaiway Association to-
day declared that the freight jam was
such as to warrant and require that
body's broad powers under the trans
portation act in checking the menace,
which has assumed threatening pro
portions.
While the executives We're laying
their program before the commission,
some Of its members were engaged in
of the car shortage and
freight congestion on which reports
have come from all corners of the
country.
Protests and reports of further in
creases in the congestion continued
to pile up. Several delegations of
shippers. called on Representative
Esch. who was Joint author of the
new railroad law, asking him to urge
congressional help of some sort. Coal
operators from West Virginia claimed
they were unable to ship coal and
that while their mines were still op-
Grating the production was low due to
the freight traffic situation.
