A ROMANCE OF INDUSTRY.
The new plant of 'the Pensacola
Chero-Cola Company will be opened
to the public -on. Tuesday", and the
growth of the parent company and
the magnitude of the enterprise is
clearly indicated in "this edition of The
Journal, which presents not only the
history of Chero-Cola and its wonder
ful development, in the printed word,
but in the views of the great indus
try, clearly shows hdw the company
has expanded since Chero-Cola orig
inated in Columbus, Ga. Much of
the success of . this splendid ten-page
section is due to the enterprise of
Thomas L. HacketC of Columbus, pub
licity director of the Chero-Cola
Company.
In presenting this edition for the
Chero-Cola Company, The Journal
takes a pardonable pride, not only in
the edition itself, "but in the business
which it represents, and which will be

The officers cannot force acceptance

Many of the resignations are those

The increased pay will be only for

pearing before the. house naval com

against it-conditions are getting un

committee members.
"It seems to me," continued Ad

of living is a disagreeable factor,
and it is a fact you face, not a theory.
"Other nations are watching condi
tions in our armed seryices I am tell
ing no secret in this, and when morale
cracks it sp?lls demoralization. I give
you my word that, hard passed as the
officers and men are today, personal
considerations are not their main mot
ive in asking for pay increases. They
need it God Knows but what moves
them principally Is the love of the
service and of the country they know
what the navy means to thd country,
and they want to preserve tile navy
intact, its initiative high, Its morale
unimpaired, ready to meet any condi
tion. "And the condition of world affairs
now is such that absolutely no chance
should be taken of our navy becoming
demoralized, and hence inefficient.
The navy Is the country's first line
of defense? and as professional men,
thoroughly aware of all conditions,
they know it to the heart. This mat
ter of a pay increase is just a plain
business proposition, one in which the
whole country is interested. It is sim
ply a matter of ordinary business pru
dence." . .
Admiral Cowie showed that the dol-
Jlar of 1908, when the navy officers
j had their last increase, is in purchas-
incr . nnwar ortuol irk nnlv 4fi tonta
day. "No increase in pay' said he,
"have been granted since 1908, and the
naval affairs committee with ' its
knowledge of the unprecedented great
increase in living costs now prevail
ing and affecting the necessities of
life, is bound to be aware of the seri
ous disadvantages, the really heart
touching burdens, under which both
the officers and men are laboring in
vainly trying to .take care of their
families in 1919, on the basis of sal
aries established back in 1908, - .
