Editor PALATKA NEWS:
We had the pleasure of visiting the
grand lodge of the l, o. o. f. at Key
West in annual session, April 2lst
and 22d.
During the past year there had
been 60 per cent. increase of mem
bership. Business of great interest
occupied the attention of the grand
lodge and it was thought this season
would be the best for the good of the
order it had ever experienced. The
brethren at Key West again proved
to the world their capacity for enter
tanning their guests. The grand re-
ception and welcome they gave their
visitors will never be forgotten by
those present.
A grand parade of 900 members of
the various fraternal orders in the
city was given in honor of the occas-
ion, 400 carrying wands with electric
lights attached. The Cuban broth
rem gave grand ball at La Breeza-
a brilliant gathering of youth and
beauty.
The social evening given by the
members of the Rebekah degree will
ever be a green spot in the memory
of the visiting brethren. Brothers
7. V. Kinks, f. Locke, G.. b. Rine-
hart, 7. w. Ralph and f. b. Van
Deman with many warm and frater-
nal expressions thanked the brethren
for the hospitality they had given
them and the love they had manifest
ed to one and all.
A number of the brethren took adj
vantage of a cheap rate to Cuba and
others returned home by way of Tam
pa and Miami, feeling that the Key
West brethren had entertained them
right royalty.
The following were elected to fill
the principal chairs during the COM
ing year:
/. B. Conrad, Grand Master.
Thos. w. Ralph, Deputy Grand
Master.
A. q. Benkley, Grand Warden.
A. NJ. Cushman, Grand Secretary.
G. l.. Branning, Grand Treasurer.

Respectfully good lady.
OUR WOMEN ARTIFICIAL

american schools lack in thoro-
ughness and concentration. The ed
ucational fitness of the teachers is
questionable.
american club women are SUPER
fetal, artificial and selfish.
"Co-educatiOn is a disturbing ele-
ment
These are the opinions of Miss Ce-
celia Milow, Swedish educator and
writer, who has been in the United
States since October studying educa-
ti0nal methods and meeting men,
bers of the woman's organizations.
81 believe in women as wives and
mothers. To be faithful wife and
q good mother is far grander voca-
ton than to be a lawyer, a professor
or a popular club woman. A woman
with heart, hands and brain in great
country like America ought to find
her usefulness as a woman, not as n
female scholar. America is to be
pitied if in the future it places the
professional woman higher than the
loving, willing, self-forgetting wo-
man and mother"

''The Bay View reading course" has
been in use for number of years
adopted by our eight-hundred clubs
throughout the country and is
highly recommended for its concise
ness and throughness. The course
provides not only the needed litera-
ture but also plans and helps for self
culture and to make clubs far more
useful; they know where to find the
best material and adapt it to club
use.
Roll call was next in order, to
which over thirty members respond

quotations. The musical program
for the afternoon was then present.

been added to our lives by these en-
joyable meetings and with regrets We
part with such delightful company.

in my heart which no man ever

blue sky daisies. Yer're a bit of
walking summer, without the dust.
To hear yer laugh is as good as spot
ting winner, and when yer're sad
feel as if someone was cutting me
with knife. What | can't get over
is 'ow I've lived afore | knew yer,
and 'ow all the other blokes exist
who amt got yer Life without yer

EPSON without the course, London
without the old Kent road.
Good heavens! | love yer because
yer are what yer are, and not some
other blooming female. AS | said

guage amt equal to it. So ta-ta, me

CLARA MORRIS CAN'T WED HIM

Clara Morris, the actress who has
been seriously i'll for some time past,
received flattering offer of mar
riage the other day. 1t came by
mail from a North Dakota farmer,
who had never seen her and this is
how it read:
And so / am very sorry for a lady
to be so sick-and you have been too
quick to give to other people, the pa
pers say and most women won't give
anybody anything, and as my farm
is paid for, and you amt got no cum
brances, ifyou feel like matrimony-
why, SO do |. I'm Swedish descent,
steel gray eyes and gold color hair.
| weigh $50 pounds, and ! guess you
could stand the climate.
Please write soon, for when seedin'
time gets around / can't leave the
farm. 1 hope this meets your views,
because you're kind hearted which
most women amt.
Respectfully good lady.

Miss Morris has declined to accept
the proposal, one reason being be-
cause she is already the wife of F. G.
Harriott of New York. In the mean
time arrangements are progressing
for her benefit at the Broadway
theater. Tho actress has been in

Rapid Potato Growing.

HASTINGS, FLA, April %, 1903.
Editor Palatka News:--
Believing that you will be inter-
ested, I send you six Irish potatoes
taken at random from a late planting
on my farm at this place. These po-
tatoes were grown on piney woods
land, of which the natural sod was
ouly turned over by the plow for the
first time the latter part of last Sep
tember. This crop was planted on
the 9th of March and this sample
taken from the hill this day, April
%, 1903, and is the product of 46 days
from date of planting, and grown by
use of commercial fertilizer. There
is but one Florida, and Hastings is
the banner spot in it.
Yours truly,
HARRY w. FOWLER.
The sample of potatoes sent by Mr..
Fowler, six in number, are an A | po-
tato, round and smooth. They are
not the largest potatoes seen, but it
should be remembered that they were
only 46 days growing and that it usu-
ally takes 80 days in any section to
mature potatoes. The six potatoes
which Mr., Fowler sent to this office
weighed exactly three pounds.
