A GOOD JOB

All appear to be agreed that the
auto camp at Capitol Park is good
job. Signs announcing it have been
distributed as far west as Rhode
Island so that the gasoline wayfarer
entering New England may know
that free water, brick ovens, and
toilet await him at the capital
city of Maine. The committee,
f. S. Mack, George II. Macomber
and l.. NJ. Hart, appointed by the
Chamber of Commerce, accepted
their appointment in serious mood
and accomplished something.
Aside from being manifestation of
good will toward the increasing num-
Der of tourists seeking such ac-
comodations and whose money is
just as clean as that of those who
patronize the most exclusive hotels
these stations are preventive of the
scattering1of litter along the way.
On roads where there are no such
camping places every inviting grove
bears marks of the untidy visit of the
camper, bits of paper, tin cans and
the like debris. The decent campers
will not be SO ungrateful where camp
ing places are provided and will help
to restrain the indecent ones In
other words such efforts as this help
for COT operation which we all are
needed.

A New York baker came to the end
of his patience the other day. This
is said to be the way it happened.
He was paying his foreman $50 a
week. mixer $40, another s72. a porter
SCI and sweeper $50. He thought
he had ample help but the walking
delegate informed him he must hire
an extra baker at $40 per week
What with giving his employees their
bread free he estimated that this in
crease would take all his profits and
refused. Thereupon a strike was
called and the baker and his family

BASEBALL PLANS
NEARLY COMPLETE
Five Clubs Have Deposited Checks
and Final Action Is Expected
Soon.

Secretary Pat Anderton of the Cot
ton States league has been keeping
the local club informed of the progress
being made at league headquarters in
completing the organization plans.
The latest information from league
headquarters is that five clubs have
deposited their checks and are ready
to play ball. The sixth club, Selma,
has been slow in completing its fund
and is showing some tendency to
The five clubs which have placed
their forfeit money areI Pensacola.
Meridian, Jackson, Greenwood and
Clarksdale.
Selma's slight opposition is due to
the fact that at Selma it was decided
to get the $4,000 fund without giving
season passes with shares of stock
The promoters there are finding diff
Guilty in completing their fund under
these conditions and Mr.. Anderton
says they may decide to withdraw but
that he believes they will swing into
line.
Unless Selma comes in the next step
will be to get Vicksburg Vicksburg
is about ready to come into the league
and If Selma fails to come in that city
will be granted a franchise
Without Selma in the circuit Pensa-
cola will lose slightly on it's first jump
the one to Meridian Thereafter
every Jump will be more than paid for
by the 500 guarantee received for
each scheduled game in the cities Wis
tied. The net result of a swing around
the circuit, according to figures in
the hands of the president of the local
club. will be slight financial gain for
Pensacola
Other cities will face the same con-
dition, They will lose money on a
jump into Pensacola but will make
money on the other towns.
This system of making each home
club pay flat guarantee Of 500 for
each scheduled game leaves Pensacola
with the advantage of its ardent base
ball population. The local club does
not have TO pay a percentage on it's
& tie receipts and will therefore get
the fun benefit of the larger popula-
ton.
The league could have been COM
pleted before the present time if Pen
sacola had not insisted that Selma be
given every chance to get in The
local officials realized that Selma's
presence would be big advantage to
Pensacola and for that reason did not
attempt to force the completion of the
league organization.
Now that Selma has been given
every possible opportunity. however.
the local officials have asked Presi-
dent DAILY and Secretary Anderton to
move at once to complete the circuit
ana adopt the schedule so that the
PENSACOLA club, as well as the other
ciups. can start getting their teams
together.

NEAR EAST RELIEF
IS GIVEN BOOST

Rev. J. F. Pickard, of st. Augustine,
chairman of the Near East relief for
St Johns county, has just reported
that his city has raised $500 for the
Near East fund.
ST Augustine is the first city in
Florida to go over the top in the APP
peal which Near East relief is making
for the care of 5000 orphan children
by the people of this state. The total
raised by st. Augustine is $3.50 more
than was contributed last year, and
sets a splendid example for the other
cities of the state.
DR.. !. NJ. Yonan, lecturer, soldier
and statesman of International promi-
hence spent two days last week in ST.
Augustine and gave added impetus to
the campaign there. Among his en-
gagements were talks at the Alacazar
ans Ponce de Leon hotels and before
the Rotary club.
