BOOSTERS TRAIN
FIVE HOURS LATE
Pensacola Delegation Returns After
Fine Visit TO East Coast.

The Pensacola Boosters returned
yesterday afternoon from the east
coast after one of the most enjoyable
and valuable trips ever taken by such
an organization. All members were
happy and were full of praise for the
hospitable greetings they received at
every stop.
The train from Jacksonville which
brought the delegation home, was five
hours late, due to engine trouble which
was two-fold. Near Mariana the en-
CINE which was drawing their train
had a cylinder-head blowout and a
new engine was sent for. This drew
them to DeF'uniak where the second
engine had an accident identicaIIy
similar with the first. From DeFuniak
in to Pensacola each engine had just
one side working.

BRUCE DOCKS TO
REMAIN CROWDED
Yoro, Westford and Mcdowell Are All
Under Repair.

There is no likelihood of the Bruce

long time to come. The steamer Yoro

nearly completed.
The steel hangar barge purchased

THIS WAY LIES PENCE. NOT WAR.

There is no reason to get excited about the
rather tense situation that has grown out Of the
cqntroversy between the United states and
Japan over the island of Yap.
The suggestion of the possibility OF war to
settle this controversy is too preposterous for
words.
The sooner we get over the habit of think
ing and talking about war every time our gov
eminent and another government have a dif-
ference, the better off we shall be.
The unraveling of the zap tangle presents
annoying difficulties. This is the price we must
nav for permitting the tangle to occur during
the two years that our government didn't func-
ton because the senate and the executive were
engaged in a death struggle.
But the difficulties are not so great as may
appear on the surface unless the governments
and peoples of the United States and Japan
have gone crazy-which. in spite of hystericai
tendencies In certain quarters, hasn't happened.
The very fact that this government has
sp0ken frankly and courageously to Japan and
ne other nations about the zap business, and
frat Japan has answered with equal courage
.and franknees, is a good rather than a bad
sign.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
AIL'S NELL

The storm that blows your roof
away, and winds your COW around a
tree, may cause you to rear up and
say such caustic things Is "Hully
chee!" And you may rave until
you're hoarSe and on your gods de-
voutly call; but Nature. in her fran
tic course, is looking for the lood of
all. She cares no boot for private
woes. nor marks the briny on your
face; along her age-old groove she
goes, and strives to benefit the race.
The storm that killed your setting
hens and from your watchdog tore
the hair, removed the fever from the
fens, and purified the noxious air.
The flood raging down the
creek, and browns some sever head
or swine. and you. declaring life is
bleak, are ready to take in your sign.
The loss of seven Chester Whites will
put you badly in the hole. and you
will walk the floor o. nights, but
Nature stops not to condole. The
rain that made the rushing flood will
make the prunes and nutmegs grow,
and hundreds bless the wholesome
mud, where one puts up his wall of
woe. Each fellow thinks his own
ice are all that count, the one
big bet; but Mother Nature never
turns to see whose beehives she up
set. She sings some clouds across
the sun. she starts a tempest on the
sea; she has a universe to run and
cannot fool with you or me.

LIES LIFTING POWER
BY DR.. W. E. BARTON

The photograph shows the first
course above ground of massive
stones, with another heavy course
above them laid with their longer
axes transverse to those of the lower
course. Then, above these, a pond
erous stone, which I judge to be a
yard square at the ends. and about
seven feet long. is laid to bind both
lower courses and those below the
ground level.
But a tiny seed got mixed in the
mortar, and it terminated. Now a
tree, which / judge from the picture
to be "A to 16 inches in diameter,
grows out of the grave, and has lift
ed the ~ponderous c~ap-stone out of
place. The camera cannot very well
lie about that part of the story.
That tree must have drawn its nour-
ishment from her very dust. 1t
stands the living answer to her I'M
faith.
Life is lord over things dead and
things lifeless. Almighty God is not
the God of the dead but of the hv-
ing. Life has a mighty lifting pow
err. 1t can lift not only rocks, but
tn. hopes and ideals of men.

turbed. Like Shakespeare's epitaph,
which 1 have seen:
GOOD FRIEND FOR JESUS SAKE

AND CURST BE HE WHO MOVES

should not be opened by human
