IF WE DO SAY
Ii OURSELVES.

Like ancient Gaul, the broad field of
publicity is divided into three distinct
departmentS-one devoted TO individuals,
one to business firms or corporations,
and one, perhaps the most important
branch of all, to the celebration of a
community as a whole.
Ii has been the ambition OF The
Palatka News to produce long-needed
and creditable review of the peculiar adj
vantageS offered by Putnam County in
general, and Palatka in particular, to
manufacturers, retail merchants and
homeseekerS, which has called the pres
ent issue into being.
As we run our eyes over the accom-
panying pages of this edition, there are
many evidences of the limitations of our
work apparent, limitations which we do
not feel impelled TO apologize for in very
humble tones, however, as they have
been the inevitable by-product of the
long days work, and as such are worthy
of a sort OF respect.
One of the best things that certain
strenuous ex-president of the United
States ever threw off in the course OF
his oratorical explosions was something
like this:
THE man who never makes any mis-
takes, is the man who never does any
thing worth mentioning"
We are going TO stand by that, and
make bold TO say that in spite OF few
flaws in this production of our brains and
hands, the present trade and industrial
issue of The Palatka News marks a real
epoch in the history of local journalism,
as we'll as in the mercantile and indus
trial life of this city and county.
We have put our best ticks into the
work, hired the best talent available, and
have given every one OF the many broad
minded and progressive concerns and
individuals who have co-operated in this
effort 10 portray in graphic but conServa-
tive terms all OF the splendid achieve
mcntS and future possibilities which
combine to make this section of the
peninsula one of the most important on
The map, the same kind of dignified and
convincing publicity that would be ac-
corded them by the best known metro
poltan publications.
If we do say it ourSelveS-we're bit
proud of this issue.

The present Mr.. de Montmollin has,
however, taken a more active interest
in the affairs of his adopted city than
any other member of his family. While
he has never sought nor held public Of
flee, he has worked in season and out
for the accomplishment of all those
splendid public improvements which
have attracted the attention of the state
to Palatka during recent years, and also
used every means at his command TO
give publicity TO the many advantages
which Palatka offers manufacturers and
business people generally.
For thirteen years Mr.. de Montmollin
held the position of chief clerk for both
the Atlantic Coast Line and the Florida
East Coast Railroads. He was success
full in this capacity, but finally tired of
the office confinement and entered the
insurance business, leaving that after a
few years 10 become identified with the
Stanton Foundry and Machinery Co.
The four years experience with this
latter concern proved of great valae
when he undertook the task of building
the enterprise which now bears his
name into the substantial success which
it now enjoys.
Mr. de Montmollin handles machinery,
engines, pumps, betting, oils and lubri-
cantS. He is local agent for the Gulf
Refining company, and has the bulk of
the river trade in gasoline and marine
lubricant supplies. He is also the sole
representative in this part of Florida for
the Southern Engine Boiler Works of
Jackson, Tenn, the Manhattan Rubber
Manufacturing Company of PaSSaic,
N. J., "Ouo" Gas Engines, the Fisher
Leather Belt company of Philadelphia,
Pa, the Oneida Split Steel Pulley COM
pany of Oneida, n. Y, and the WaIruS
Roofing company OF New York. His
agency for several OF these ell-known
commodities covers eight counties, in
| GLIDING Putnam.
He has filled many large and impor-
tant orders, one of the most noteworthy
of which was the contract 10 supply the
new plant of the Rodman Lumber COM
pany Of Rodman, this county, with en-
gines, betting and accessories. He also
sold TO the Wilson Cypress company Of
this city the largest leather belt ever
placed in the state.
The superior water and freight rates
which give Palatka such a pronounced
advantage over all other cities in middle
Florida, have enabled Mr. de Montmol-
lin 10 build up fine business in Brad
ford, Marion, Alachua, and more distant
counties.
Altogether, Mr.. de Montmollir IS one
of The most able and interesting of Pa
latka'S wide-awake commercial leaders.

The diamond is pure carbon or char
oul, but the secret processes by Which
nature rearrangeS the atoms Of the
black. lusterless charcoal into the
flashing diamond is a mystery that
the chemists, stimulated by the GER
tainty of great gains provided they
were successful in finding the solution,
have never been able to discover. Nor
is it certainly known from what de,
partment nature takes the diamond
making material. 1t is supposed TO be
furnished by vegetable charcoal which
undergoes a peculiar process of decom.
position and disqualification, but it has
also been conjectured that the car
bonic acid, shut up from remote pc,

have solidif1ed in this peculiar form.

Plans to Advertise the Orange

The directors of the Florida Citrus
Exchange have been devoting much
time for the past two weeks listening TO
advertising agents who have plans TO
get the best results from The small appro-
priation available this season 10 adver-
tise the orange, $500 will not cover
the United States. II would be such a
smattering over large territory that it
would not be as effective as working
and advertising in some particular sec
tion. like the Atlantic seaboard The
directors want every cent of the 212
cents box assessment TO count, and do
not intend to enter into contract with
any advertising agency until they have
been satisfied of the most effective man
ner TO reach the retail buyer as well as
the consumer.
The Exchange intends TO make rec
ord this season, and create such a de-
mand for the Exchange packed oranges
that every grower in the state will see
that it is TO his interest to affiliate with
the association.
Cooperation is the thing.

Hymn.
My soul, be on thy guard,
Ten thousand foes arise;
And hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.
Prayer.
Help us to take unto ourselves the
whole armor of God, that we may be
able to Withstand the subtle solicita-
tons TO evil that do SO easily beSet

watch, also, lest we enter into temp
tation. Amen.

Ii was at close of day. The tired
workers were trooping into the
street in thousands. The cars crept
along in close and changing success
sion. Motor cars, buggies, carriages,
in diminished numbers, drove ahead.
1t was a scene of dangerous confu-
sion; and | was trying TO pilot a lady
through. AS we neared the oppo-
site sidewalk, she gathered her
breath long enough TO say, "One
must walk looking about him here"
walk looking about you" That is
good rendering of my text.
To all men, but especially to them
that are OF the household of faith, |
would say, "Walk through this
world, looking about you" And
why?
Because absorbing self-interest
brings US into collision with others
unless we do. eve have turned
everyone TO his own way" says the
prophet. And we are bent so to our
way that we run against others, and
they against us. 1t requires the ut
most vigilance to walk our way with
out violently and impatiently and
hastily crossing another's line of life,
| so as 10 MAIN or hurt or discourage
him or TO suffer these things from
him.
Because deliberate efforts to hurt
others is the purpose of some. Youth
finds it harder TO be pure because
some creatures live. Womanhood
finds virtue harder TO maintain.
Manhood finds honesty harder TO
achieve. These human spiders
spread their nets in the pathway of
the unwary. A girl of 10, blinded
by the dazzle of the footIights, fails
to see the net which some devil in
human shape has spread for her
And bitter tears, broken hearts and
blighted lives are the result. o, con
fident youth! Walk looking about
you.
Because enemies invisible threaten
US we should walk looking about u.s.
Not against flesh and blood enemies
do we mostly wreStle; but against the
rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedneSS in high
places. Temptations and suggestions,
subtle, strange, spiritual, sweep, like
murky clouds or unclean birds, into
the mind and spirit of men. And we
must watch against these enemies.
In a word, we must, like an army,
walk looking about us, because, if
heaven bent, we are in the enemy'S
country. J. M. B.

SECRETARY OF
BOARD OF TRADE
Sketch of H. M. de Montmollin, One Of
the City's Tireless Boosters.

Among the names intimately aSSociat-
ed with the recent era of civic progress
and industrial expansion in Palatka, that
OF Mr.. II. NJ. de Montmollin is worthy
OF special mention. Mr.. de Montmollin
has served the city with signal ability
during the past four years as secretary Of
the Board of Trade. His efforts along
this line have been particularly valuable,
in that they have not only produced sub
stantiaI results, but have been given in
the best patriotic spirit, without money
and without price.
Mr.. de Montmollin, as his name might
indicate, comes of a distinguished old
French family, he himself having been
born in Savannah, Georgia, sometime
during the latter half of the nineteenth
century, which is TO say, about forty
years ago. He came to Palatka with his
parents in 1882. His grandfather owned
large rice plantations on Rice creek, a
branch of the St. Johns river, and for
many years was one of the most noted
planters in the county. His father was
marine engineer by profession.
