DEATH OF EUGENE GAY
Prominent Palatkan Dies in
South Dakota Sanitarium.

Eugene ]. Gay youngest of the we'll
known wholesale and retail grocer firm
of Gay Bros. of this city, died of tuber-
culoSiS in the national military sanitarium
at Battle Mountain, Hot Springs, S. D.,
last Friday morning.
The sad news came in dispatch to
his brothers little after noon that day
and soon spread TO all parts of the city.
There was general sorrow over the
news, for Mr.. Gay was wcll-known and
liked by the people of Palatka, where
he had resided almost continuously since
coming here with his parents in 1884,
then young lad
Mr. Gay was prominently identified
with the Masons and Knights OF PythiaS
in this city, and of the latter order was a
past chancellor commander
AT the breaking out of the war with
Spain he enlisted with the Palatka com
pany in the First Florida regiment as a
private, being later promoted quarter.
master sergeant and then regimental
recruiting officer.
Since his retirement from the army
he has devoted himself closely to his
business interests, but always found time
TO take an active part in public matters.
He was long actively identified with the
Palatka Fire Department.
In the fall of 1909 Mr.. Gay went TO the
north in the hope that complete resi-
would prove beneficial. The expected
change for the better did not come and
he was persuaded TO enter the U. S
military hospital, known as the Battle
Mountain Sanitarium at Hot Springs
S. D.
He wrote frequent letters to his broth
ers telling of the excellent treatment ane
generous provisions made for patients
in that institution and of his comfort
He was always cheerful.
For the past month his brothers have
been aware of his decline, and news o
his death did not therefore come al
surprising shock.
Eugene ]. Gay was Al years of age
and never married. He is survived b.
MeSSrS Geo. E. and Benz. |. Gay of thi
city and two sisters living at PaSSaic, N
| J.
He was cheerful, kindly man ant
good citizen, a man who made and helt
friendships.
The funeral occurred at the Sanitariun
on Sunday and the interment at his owl
request was in the cemetery there.

"The Firing Line.

An unusual amount of interest is being
shown in the coming presentation by
A. G.. DeIamater at the Howell Theatre
on Tuesday evening next OF the drama.
tized version of Robert w. Chambers
celebrated Palm Beach Romance The
Firing Line"
The dramitization closely follows the
text of the book. The action OF the
piece begins in that exclusive winter re-
sort of the South, Palm Beach, Florida;
the principal characters being repre-
sentative of the most fashionable circles
of New York society. Ii deals with
beautiful young girl known as Shiela
CardroSS, who is supposedly the daugh-
ter of Neville CardroSS, one OF Americas
captains of industry and man OF very
great wealth In reality, she is name
less waif, whom CardrosS has adopted in
her infancy, but TO whom he and his
entire family have become greatly at
tached. Until her eighteenth year,
Shiela is absolutely unaware OF the TACT
that she is not daughter of CardroSSS,
and when, at that time, she unexpected
| ly learns the truth, it proves a great
shock to her. One of her companions
| in her early years is Louis Malcourt,
| fascinating young fellow who is a ward
of Mr.. CardrosS She makes contl-
dant of Malcourt and, urged by him,
marries him secretly, so that she might
at least have the right TO name and his
protection. They agree, however, 10
keep the marriage a secret until ne
graduates from college, when he VIII
come into the property which he has
inherited. They soon learn that they
have both made grievouS mistake, and
long before the time comes for the an
nouncemcnt of their marriage, they
realize that they do not really care ior
each other, but have acted upon youth
full impulse, and they decide 10 LET mat
ters stand as they are, without any an
nouncement. OF course, marital rela-
lions do not, and never have existed be-
tween them Shiela is still known as an
unmarried daughter of CardrosS, and
I ouis MaIcourt continues the life of a
ooy Young bachelor. This unusual ar
Tangemcnt results later in serious COM
nIications brought about by love affairs
which develop between Shiela and Gar
ret Hamil promising young landscape,
architect, and between Malcourt ana
, Marion Page, who moves IN the same
circles as Shiela. A series OF absorbing
| ly interesting scenes and intense Si'ua-
tions replete with bright lines and SO,
I, ciety patter, for which Mr.. Chambers
: hooks are noted, lead up TO thoroughly
satisfactory though emotional finale.
The company selected for the inter
! pretation of the piece will be made Ut
of some of New York's most notable
players, and the entire scenic equipmen
, will be gorgeous in the extreme.

Here is the testimony of anothe,
bishop. His mission on earth is to dc
good, to preach the gospel, and the
above indicates his ideas on the prac.
teal side of this mooted question.
Below we give the literal statements
short but appropriate, of six other bish.
ops who have voluntarily expressed
themselves on this question, and whose
views, based on their experience, are
appropriate for quotation and assimila-
ton by those who are to vote at the
end Of this county struggle:
Bishop Grafton, of Wisconsin: 81
cannot agree with those who think the
taking of wine in moderation is wrong.
because the process of fermentation is
one of Gods created acts, and the Di-
vine Master of the Christian religion
turned water into wine."~ -, "''
Bishop Doane, Of New York: "No
such law can be framed that will not
create popular excitement by it's al
legged interference with individual lib
erty and its unfair discrimination of
privileges between classes, or will be
used, as it has been for many years, as
means of extorting money by city of
ficials and violators of the law to pur-
chase immunity.
Bishop Fox, of Green Bay, Wiscon-
sin: II do not think there are five
bishops in the country who favor pro-
hibition." ........
Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island: "Pro-
hibition has been disastrous to the cause
of temperance.
Bishop Johnson, of Texas: 81 would
be the last to curtail or infringe upon
the rights of men engaged in the liquor
traffic, for believe they have as much
right under the law to sell liquor as
have to preach.
Bishop Potter, of New York: ''Our
laws, whether we put them
n operation on one or all days, are as
stupid as they are Intellectual. Most of
'ur methods for dealing with the drink
evil in our day and generation are faint
ID with falsehood, dishonored by essen

Spring vs.. Fall Flowing.

L. F. Childers, agronomist at
the Moscow University Expert
Station. demonstrates very
forcibly and sensibly that fall
plowing is preferable to spring
blowing. In an article taken
from the Post, Moscow. the wri-
ter says:
This season our experiment
station harvested from 25 to 30
bushels Of field peas per acre,
while a large neighboring field
would not have exceeded Is
bushels. The same station har-
vested 70 bushels of oats and a
field adjoining the station farm
harvested only IS bushels. Doubt
less there were some differences
in seed and the like, but the chief
reason was that the station
ground had been treated to q
good deep fall blowing, and the
other fields had been spring
plowed before seeding. In gen.
eral there are many reasons why
fall blowing is better than spring
blowing, but in the cases at hand
two reasons stood out prominent
ly. LIST. Fall blowing offered
more time for the soil to liberate
plant food, and End, this loose
soil caught, stored and preserved
more moisture than could posi-
bly, have been secured and MAIN
tanned by the unbroken soil.
1t takes considerable water to
successfully grow and mature
crops, and the unbroken surface
sheds much of the winters rain
fall, about as much more will
have to evaporate before spring
blowing can proceed. then fully
as much more will be lost from
the fresh furrow slice. Small
yields, Ell? Plow every inch you
can each fall"

The Idaho Pure Seed Law.

Every citizen of the state who
reads a newspaper has learned,
no doubt, that the last legislature
passed an act to prevent fraud
in the sale of agricultural seeds,
that is, all flower. garden, field
and grass seeds" This act has
become a law. 1t is now up to
all good citizens of the. state, to
those who buy and to those who
sell seeds, as well as to the au-
thorities, to see that this law is
enforced. The intent of the law
is of the highest order; its en-
forcment is worthy of the CO.
operation of every citizen. 1t is
intended that the planter of agri-
cultural seeds in this state shall
have a knowledge of exactly
what he is planting. Without
any cost to himself he has now
an opportunity to know the cor
rect name of his seeds, the a.
mount of the impurities, if any,
the names of the foreign seeds
and the per cent of seeds capable
of termination. To the farmer
especially should this mean much.
He knows well the strenuous
means of eradication necessary

ses or location of sheep men with
