Mexico City Government troops
were engaged Tuesday in tracking a
band Of highwaymen which last Mon.
day held up an express train at Atzca-

six persons, wounding five others and
robbing the express car of packages
valued at 100000 pesos. The robbers
fled in automobiles and vanished into
the hills.
The express shipment was guarded
by soldiers, and when the train was
stopped by the highwaymen the troops
engaged in a sharp fight with the out
laws. So far as known, all the killed
were soldiers. 1t was believed here

wealthy farmer. had been slain in a
night raid by the Doones. John, blunt

manhood, learned to ride a horse and
shoot a blunderbuss with unfailing
skill.
One day. while yet a boy. his fishing
excursions in Bagworthy water led
him to discover an entrance to Glen

GARNER GRITTING HIS TEETH
AND BIDING HIS TIME"

The regular session of the sixty
seventh congress opens with a we'll
defined cleavage between the reaction
aries and the progressives. The latter
know their strength and have had a
fresh taste of victory.
That the reactionalies win continue
to dictate to them is apparent from
that part of President Harding's mes
sage reprimanding them for Joining
with the democrats in passing the
democratic amendments to the tax bill,
and his plea for PARTY harmony and
party government.
But out in the west is an intelligent
and watchful constituency which has
been disillusioned on the tariff which
has lost or is losing faith in republican
promises of lower taxes and economical
government; which is beginning to
realize that the party in power does
not understand the problems with
which it has to deal, and is incompe-
tent, therefore, to solve them. Above
all, it understands now as never before
that it has no identical interests with
the privileged and predatory classes
who finance and control the reaction
arv element of the republican party.
Just how the western constituents
feel about it is well expressed by a
western weekly paper, which SAYS:
1.-THE farmer is gritting his teeth and
biding his time"

BEST KIND or PueLIcfTY.


Pensacola tourists are coming to
Pensacola each day in increasing NUM-
beers, and the beauty Of the city and
its environment is constant source Of
comment. But there Is one drawback
to Pensacola at this time. and that is
the great need of cleaning up the city
and identifying the town, in every pos
sible way
It is not alone for the sake of the
tourists that we are in need of such
movement in Pensacola today, but
If the city was placed in the proper
condition at this time, IL every bit of
work in the way of cleaning up and
repairing was done, employment would
be given TO many who are in sore need.
1t is estimated that forty per cent of
the white labor Of the city is unem-
ployed, and sixty per cent of negro
labor.
These figures may be too high. but
no one who knows anything about
conditions can possibly doubt but that
there is great need of using every pos
sible means TO keep labor employed.
If we could do this. and at the same
time advertise Pensacola to the world
as the cleanest and prettiest city in
the country. then we should do well,
indeed.
The city has been very lax for the
past year in cleaning UP the streets,
and there is much work that the city
can do, and should do. But the city
cannot do all. Much rests with the
individual.

means than the great Improvement
which was made in the San Carlos no.
tel some time ago, when the hotel at
no very great expense, was given a
coat of paint, and placed in such re-
pair as reflected great credit on the
city.
The San Carlos is not an old build
ing by any means, but 1t had become
shabby in its appearance and looked
much older than its twelve years. To-
day it looks like new. and is one of the
handsomest buildings in the south.
What was done by the San Carlos
hotel company can be done by many
other firms in the city. Give your
store a coat Of paint. Put up new
awnings--do your part to make PEN
sacola attractive.
In the residential section of the city,
paint where necessary, make what re-
pairs you can possibly afford, and,
above all things, keep your premises
in order.
There are many who cannot afford
at this time to make any repairs, even
to help in the employment of labor.
But there are none who are unable to
keep their homes or business places
IN order.
If every householder in Pensacola
would do a part towards making PEN
sacola a City Beautiful, this would
mean money in our pockets. as we'll

city.
There is nothing that adds so much
to the attractiveness of a town as does
the cleanliness of that town. If we
could put the town in order, getting

holidays, we could give employment to
many who are now idle, and could win
laurels for ourselves, in the good pub

our city, and the charm of its clean
streets and well-kept homes.
