Mr.. Willis B. Powell, secretary of the
Tampa Board of Trade and a member
of the State Press Association, writes
that the Tampa Board of Trade will
invite the editors of the state al their an
nual session at Palatka next week, 10
hold their 1913 meeting in Tampa.
Tampa has standing offer to hold all
tINS nItt snI -, I.,f
this time the Board of Trade proposes TO
make the Invitation more attractive.
Cigars, and Spanish dinners, and a sight
at Ed. Lambright, or Mayor who is
editor, or city's So, 900, ,0O0 hotel, have
lost their pulling power. This time
Tampa is going 10 hang UP trip to the
Panama Canal. If the editors believe
they can muster 100 of their tribe to
leave the state for a couple of weeks
and let the old Shebaug run itself, and
can rake up probably $50 90 for round
trip ticket 10 Panama and return, the
Board of Trade will do the rest
81 trust there will be a large attendance
of editors at Palatka 10 talk this matter
over There has been so much cam
paign money in circulation this spring,
and so many miles of space devoted TO
candidates, and so many half tones worn
down TO the second nick, that the ed-
tors must have money to burn. Then
again, Palatka is dry town and gen
erous town, and il won't cost you a cent
while there You can sit up all night
and eat all day, and when you have
nothing else TO do you can listen 10
Harry Brown tell YOU How to Get Blood
out OF Turnip, or take look at Tom
Appleyard in rcpoSc. When Tom is in
repoSe he isn't talking school books.
''It is going TO be big time, all right,
all right, and you'll be sorry ii you don't
attend.
''ln the meanwhile think about that
trip TO Panama. You know Tampa is
the closest adequate port TO Colon, of
any port in America"
kiSsimmee will also be candidate
for the 1913 session of the association,
