river. France, through the ex-
plorations Of La Sale from the
north and the early entry of
French priests from Canada.
considered this territory theirs,
AS for England, she rested her
claims on the discovery of North
America by the Cabots, and In
the charter granted to Virginia
included all the country lying
to the West.
The French were the first to
get foothold in Ohio, but the
English pioneers, who shortly
began to drift westward, firm
ly established their settlements
in the fertile Ohio valley. AZ
ter a long period of warfare,
in which the Indians played a
leading part, the Northwest Ter
ritory was finally coded to the
United States by the Treaty of
Independence in 1888. And Vir-
ginia and other states, which
had laid claim to portions of
this region turned over their
rights to the federal govern
ment.
The government Of the North
west Territory was formally
created by the ordinance of
1887, People from the East mi
grated into this territory in
such numbers that by 1903 Ohio
was taken into the Union as the
seventeenth state. The fourth
largest state in size of popula-
ton, Ohio has "a electoral votes
for President, while in area.
with its 41,04O square miles. it
ranks only thirty-fifth, which
shows how densely it is popu-
lated. 1t is noted as the state
Of Presidents. President Hard
ing makes the seventh Ohioan
to fill the presidential office.
The name Ohio is derived from
the Iroquois word O-hee-yo,
meaning beautiful river" It
was first applied by the Indi-
ans of the Five Nations to what
we now call the Allegheny riv-
er, one of the chief tributaries
OF the Ohio. Gradually the
name came to include the whole
river, sometimes even being ap-
piled to the Mississippi. Later
1t was confined to the river be-
tween Pittsburg and Cairo, and
appropriately the first state
formed on its northern bank
Was named after it. Ohio is /
often called the Buckeye State
from its large number of horse
chestnut trees.

ing Erection of Pavilion at
Bayview Park.

At a business meeting of the Ba-

testing against the erection of a dane
ing pavilion at Bayview park The
class has membership of 100 young

The resolutions: q.
Whereas, 1t has come to the atten-
ton of this class that there is move
ment on foot to request the city com
missioners of Pensacola to have erect
ed, at city expense, a public dancing
pavilion at Bayview park, in this city,
and
Whereas. We believe that the erec-
ton Of such a public dancing pavilion
would not tend toward the moral up
lift of the city, and that it would tend
to draw an undesirable class Of people
to this popular family resort and
Whereas, We do not believe that a
majority Of the citizens of Pensacola
would favor such an expenditure of
public funds: therefore.
Be it resolved, by the Baraca class
Of the Gadsden Street Methodist
church that we express our disap-
prevail of this movement and voice the
hope that the city commissioners will
not erect or permit the. erection of
the pavilion and further that we
pledge our support to the commits
sioners in carrying forward all pro-
grams looking toward the moral uplift
of the community.
Be it further resolved. that the Sec
be directed to forward a copy
of this resolution to the honorable
board of city commissioners, and to
the press of the city of Pensacola.

SALVATION ARMY
CAMPAIGN IS ON
Zone Captains and Workers Will Make
Thorough Canvass Of City
Today.

The advisory board of the Saliva
ton army issues the following state
ment:
Today is the day of days. Toda.
shows us where the Salvation arm.
stands with us, whether we really be
lieve in it in our hearts, believe in il
enough to. take a personal. interest Oh
whether we believe in 1t with our lip:
only and our hearts are cold towards
it.
What do we know of the Salvation
army today? We know a great dea
of the inner history of it's start, its
privations and it's struggles to help the
fallen, the needy and the sick, work
covering fifty years devoted and con-
secrated labor which was not recog-
nized by us at it's true value until
"our boys" came back from Flanders
and told us about the army and its
devoted workers. We now know a lot
about their self-sacrificing methods OF
reclaiming the dregs of humanity
whom we and our equals have neg
lected to care for or assist. We know
they do work, useful work, that we
are not in position to do, but we are
in danger Of forgetting the request
made us by thousands Of returned men
who told us never to turn the army
down." We are in danger of neglect
ing to provide the sinews Of war for
this army to fight the devil and all
his works.
Our community advisory board I'M
has told us in no uncertain terms that
the life Of the Salvation army is at
stake today, they have appealed to the
people of Escambia county to provide
$40, 900 to keep our local corps and the
army institution going for IL months.
1880 of this amount will actually be
spent in Pensacola, the remaining So
$50 is our proportionate share of the
ipkeep of the institutions that take
,are of our cases, and also the National
Training College and headquarters.
No organization in the country
Knows as well how far a dollar will go
Is the Salvation army does. they are
bred and trained to conserve every
,ent and make it do the work Of Christ
IN earth.
The advisory board is working on
he same lines. There are no big ex-
,enses in this appeal No expensive
window cards. circulars, placards or
timers, no large office staff, the Sal
,ation army having put at the dis
,osal of the advisory board man
rom headquarters free of expense to
he board to assist them in their pre-
urinary work
The advisory board knows that to-
av will bring success to their efforts
nd that every one will do their
hare.
When you come to think that the
alue of one ice cream. or one pint OF
milk a week would be sufficient Tor
ach of us to give if only we all did
ur share, you can see how conrioent
he board is in the success of the ap-
cal. Two thousand people giving 10!
ents a week will put us "over the
op."
Every one get under and boost. To-
ay is the day. Do it now.

There are great many women Of
middle age who owe their good health
