Advanced Advertising Methods.

Most of our Palatka merchants have
confined their advertising TO an exposi-
tion on the quality of their wares, GER
tain special bargains, or other efforts to
calch the cash OF prospective customers
in exchange for articles of present day
need.
1t remained for D. w. Woods, col
orcd man who obtained his business
education on the Gay Bros uptown
store delivery wagon, to set the pace in
advertising the prospects of future
desire" Woods has recently gone into
business for himself at 900 Madison
street, and is using improved methods
to attract business.
The News doesn't often give away its
advertising space, but the Woods method
is so unique as TO render its further pub
licity incumbent as news feature. Our
colorcd friend is welcome to all the
business which comes to him as a result
of this free advertising. If il will but
aid our Lemon street clients by showing
the advantage of new and original meth.
DDS, and thus spur them to greater efforts
in advertising, the News is sure of its
reward.
But the Woods method: Recently
Woods caused to be distributed through
the city a small dodger, of which the
following is verbatim copy:
D. w. WOODS,
800 Madison Street
Palatka, Fla
dealer in
MEATS, KEROSENE
and other Notions
FIRST CLASS BARBER SHOP
Repairing Shoes Specially.
All are invited 10 witness the pros
poets of future desire.
Frank WattleS, who printed the dodger,
has been credited with assisting in its
authorship, but Mr.. WattleS diSclaims
any credit. He says he has done little
literary work of winning kind in
his life, but that TO D. w. Woods alone
belongs the credit for this invitation TO
the public TO catch, along with the trickle
of kerosene, a ileeting glimpse of their
future desire"

Persons aspiring to become bailiff at
Alnwick, England, have to go through
a curious and somewhat unpleasant or
deal Before the election the various
candidates ride up in a body to horse
pond and, there dismounting from
their steeds, plunge into the water
and struggle as best they may to the
other side. The music Of a brass band
cheers them during their struggles in
the dirty water. This ancient custom
dates from the reign of King John,
who once paid a visit to the town in
1910 and found no fitting welcome
prepared for him. The blame for this
state of unpreparedness was fastened
on the luckless bailiffs, who were
promptly thrown into the horse pond

SPEAKER CLARK is SILENT
ON ADVICE OF HIS FRIENDS, HE
REFUSES TO BECOME EN-
BRolLED IN PARTY FEUD

Washington, May 31.-Speaker
Champ Clark today declined positively
to comment on w. ]. Bryan's appeal
to the democrats, not to masquerade
under the guise of tariff for revenue
only, in voting for the Underwood re-
vision of the wool schedule, nor would
Mr.. Clark discuss the reply to Mr..
Bryan, made last night, by the major
ity leader. The Speakers close
friends, recognizing that his present
position is difficult, have advised him
against becoming embroiled in the
party feud.
Chairman Underwood, smarting un-
der the Bryan attack is exerting every
effort now to insure a two-thirds vote
Of the democratic members of the COM
mittee at tomorrow's caucus. The
new bill closely resembles the Wilson
bill. except as to raw wool, the duty
on which is cut from the present rate
of II cents a pound to about five cents
a pound.
Mr.. Underwood's committee room
presented a busy roundup scene to-
day, democratic members of the va
Iious state delegations being summon
ed in to test the poll of the strength
In support of the schedule. AS a result
of the inquiry, Mr.. Underwood remain
ed firm in his conviction that the bill
would be ratified by big majority.
Speaker Clark's attitude on the wool
question from the beginning has been
a conservative one. He has apparent
ly stood with Mr.. Underwood and 9TH
er members of the ways and means
committee, who have insisted on the
necessity of small duty for revenue
purposes on raw wool.
Among members of the house Of rep
resentatives, democrats and republi-
cans alike, the dispute over the wool
tariff brought about by Mr.. Bryan's
attack on the democratic leaders for
drafting revenue measure instead of
putting raw wool on the free list, was
the subject of lively discussion today.
Though considerable talk is looked at
the caucus tomorrow, Mr.. Underwood,
chairman of the ways and means
committee, insists that his position
will be supported by at least two
thirds of the members.

HALLEY's COMET TRAlLED

Lick Observatory, May 31.-Halley's
comet, which was nearest to the sun
and to the earth and at its greatest
brill'ancy more than a year ago, has
been followed on its journey into dis
tant space with the telescopes of the
Lick Observatory. The comet is now
a little farther than Jupiter is from
the sun, that is about 100000, 900
miles, but Astronomer Curtis has
photographed it with Crossley reflec-
tors on two nights this week exactly
in the predicted positions. Even with
the powerful Photographic telescope
the image of the comet is extremely
faint on the plates, and it would no
doubt be invisible in the most power

The comet is now sixty per cent far
ther from the sun than it was when
its approach to the sun was discov-
cred photographically in September,

Lie ANNOUNCEMENT
The FUTURE PROVIDED FOR

ED, WILL BE $27o,ooo,ooo FOR
IMPROVEMENTS

st. Paul, Mimi, May 31.-A move
that is strongly suggestive here of
railroad operations on the scole of the
Northern Securities company merger,
was announced today by ]. ]. Hill,
chairman of the Great Northern Rail
road company, when in statement
he made public the execution of a
S6,00O,O 100000 first and refunding mort
gage to secure bonds for the Great
Northern and Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroads. The statement
says:
THE size of the mortgage is eX-
planned by the fact that the outstand-
ing obligations of the company, which
are to be refunded, amount approx
mately to $SSO,00O,OOO. Included, how
ever, in the figures last named, is the
direct and contingent obligation OF
the company on the Burlington joint
fcurs, maturing in 1912, and aggregat-
irg 1922, 400, 900. Covering future of
fifty years approximately $27O,O0O,OOO
in bonds therefore will be available
for general corporate purposes, double
tracking and additional mileage. Since
it's beginning thirty-two years ago the
Great Northern has expended between
$3.50. 900 900 and $4OO, 100000 out OF its
capital and earnings. The provisions
made, for the future in consideration
OF the rapidly growing territory which
Great Northern lines serve, would
seem intelligently conservative. The
company evidently has made ample
financial provision to enable it to keep
it's facilities and extensions equal to
all demands that rapidly growing
country may make on it and at the
same time, to maintain the highest
and most efficient standard of service.
Future issuance of bonds against prop
erty acquired is safeguarded by the
restrictions usually found in mort
cages of this kind"
