IL was feared by many that when
the smoke stack fell and the fire reach

would have undoubtedly been burned

In an interview with Mr.. Gibbs he

PALATKA MAKES A MOVE To
WARD A PUBLIC PLAY GROUND

WARD A PUBLIC PLAY GROUND.
The children of Palatka school have
chosen sides--one side is called the
Reds and the other the Blues fol-
the purpose Of raising funds for pub
lie play ground This movement il
not new IL is not a mere fad, but
a necessary addition that should he
made 10 every we'll regulated commun.
ity. The play movement is begin
ming of great social AWAKENING
which is sure to contribute literally t.
the discipline of young lie and tend
toward the development of human
character.
In order to have well developed
human life we must have play. work,
social experience and religious discip-
line. In the past we have been EN-
phasizing education but have neglect
ed social life.
Unquestionably then the playground
movement is not a fad but is here tc
stay
The results OF discipline in play are
stronger physical body, a greater de
gree OF self control, greater ability
TO ward off disease. a habit of social
life that will nelp the mature citizen,
and means of attracting the attent
ion of the child so as TO prevent evil
habits
Parents and other adults may look
with disfavor at first upon this new
movement. but after they see the
change that il will make in their boys
and girls. they will never be sorry Of
the support that they give it. Vel
developed bodies, improved moral life,
spirit of leadership. the sense OF right
the sense OF the rights of others. the
square deal are some of the import
ant reasons why the playground move
ment should be encouraged.
1t is hoped that every public spirited
citizen will join Mr.. Bishop in thii
new movement at Palatka. 1t is 1
movement that should meet with en-
couragement in every community IA
our country.

The first blast to do any damage of , any account by flying rocks while the work on the ledge on the Foster lot has been going on occurred last Thurs. day morning. The rocks fell all over Haymarket Square and large piece of stone went through one of the large windows in the third story of the Baker block. Another rock hit a horse on one of Gary Bros. teams em ployed on the job. The team was near the railroad station and the horse was severely injured. The jar from the same blast cracked one of the plate glass windows in the front of the Modern clothing store, next to the lot. The work of preparing the site is about completed. It is reported that all negotiations for tenants in the proposed block are off and the work of erecting the building will not be started at present.

EGYPT'S GREEN SUN.

A Phenomenon That Was Commented
 Upon by the Ancients.
 The appearance of a green light ut upon by the ancient Egyptians and more particularly so because in the clear air of Egypt the tints of sunset are peculiarly distinct.
 As the sun there descendS nearer |nRcd nearer to the horizon and is i'm
 sely enlarged and flaming it sud
 becomes for an instant a bril-
 ny green color. and immediately d .rieS of green rays suffuses the sky i'll dany directions. we'll night to the ze. aith. The same phenomenon appears at ~sunriSe. but to a smaller extent Some, times, just as the last part of the sun \ disk vanishes, it's color changes from green to blue, and so also after 1t has disappeared the sky near the horizon often is green. while toward the zenith it is blue.
 This was alluded to in Egyptian writings Day was the emblem of life and night that of death, and the noe turnal sun. being identified with Osiris. thus rendered Osiris king of the dead The setting sun was green; therefore Osiris. as the nocturnal deity of the dead. was painted green. The splendid collins of the high priests of AmmOn frequently depict the green sun. and the funeral deities are all colored green
 There are innumerable instances in the Egyptian relics of representations relative to death being cOlOred green The practice undoubtedly arose from the green tints of sunrise and sunset The green sun disk is referred to 5.OOu years ago in Egypt. This is the earll est known human record of an as frOnOmical phenomenon.

 The box shop of Preble 6 Bum- stead, situated south of Orcuttville, was totally destroyed by fire last Sat- urday afternoon. The fire started around the smokestack on the inside of the building and spread so rapidly that little could be done towards ex- tinguishing it. There was an insur ance of 5000, which only partly covered the loss. About 5000 feet of lumber outside of the building was burned, besides about the same
 ak ant. lumber on the insidek made up for boxes. There was aesy about half car load of boxes inside the building. The boiler can probably be used again. They expect to rebuild at once.

SPECIAL SILVER WARE FREE

Tomorrow will appear the first
standing of the contestants. They
will be published by number only
each contestant and her friends
knowing which number they are
boosting.
The Window. at the Schroeder store
has been filled with handsome silver
ware which is to be distributed
among the contestants throughout
the contest. Just inquire at the Sch
roeder store for details. Every thing
goes free including the piano.
That advertising is now a science
is again demonstrated practically to
the buying public of this section by
the wonderful advertising system
now employed by the enterprising
business house of w. G.. Schroeder
who is going to give away absolute
ly free to some one of their custo-
mers on Feb IA, 1914 the beautiful
Calxton parlor grand piano which is
now on exhibition at their store. The
piano sells for four hundred dollars
and is high class instrument in
strument in every respect, guaran-
teed by the makers for ten years.
Just think of it! A four hundred dol

years ago, if a merchant was to do
such thing he would be considered
fit subject for an asylum, but con-

of the enormous sum spent in adver-
Using the fact of Mr.. Schroeder
giving away $4,000 piano is a
stupendous undertaking and it clear
ly demonstrates his desire to be cal
ways up to and little ahead" of the
spirit Of the times.
Every purchaser of $l.0O worth Of
goods from any department of their
store will receive coupon good for
100 votes on the piano. The person
presenting the largest number of
votes to them on Feb. IA, 1914 will
receive the piano absolutely free No
favors will be shown and every per-
son will receive an equal chance. The
reputation enjoyed by Mr.. Schroeder
for square dealing" insures this
fact. We think the buying people
will appreciate this extremely lib
eral offer on the part of Mr.. Schroe-
der and we predict a lively scramble
for votes.
In case of tie vote each con-
testant will be awarded a piano.
