WILL PALATKA HAVE
SAVE A BABY CLUB"
In Aid of the Children's
Home Society of Florida.

A unique plan and one in which
every man, woman and child in Flori-
da can have a part has been sug-
gested by Supt.. Marcus C. Fagg of
The Children's Home Society of
Florida, for the purpose of securing
funds to continue the great state
wide work of this organization in be-
half of the homeless, orphan, and
needy children of Florida.
/ The plan calls for the temporary
organization of "Save A Baby Club
in every city, town and hamlet in
Florida, each club to make an effort
to secure ten cents from every man
woman and child in that town; the
society offering a beautiful silver
loving cup to the club which raises
the largest amount of money in pro-
portion to the population of that
town. Each dime will purchase a
share of stock in the "Florida Save
A Baby Club of which each town
will be local branch. Special GER
tifcates will be issued to the purchas-
ers of ten, fifty and one hundred
shares. 1t is not the plan of the
Home Society to ask any money in
place of money being contributed to
some other church or charity, but in
addition to those contributions, so
that every church and Sunday school
should be interested in the plan.
In addition to the money each Club
will be asked to get up a barrel or
box of chilrden's clothes, shoes,
stockings, staple provisions, canned
goods and preserves, and other arti-
cles that children can eat, wear or en-
joy. All of these articles are to be
shipned to the State Receiving Home
in Jacksonville to help provide for
the hundreds of children coming un-
der the care of the society each year.
Over eight hundred have already been
referred to the Home Society this
year, and more are coming daily, so
that the society must raise more
funds if the good work is to continue.
Supt. Fagg has gotten up litera-
ture which will give all the informa-
ton in regard to the organization
of club, and Just what each club
is to do, and hopes to have many
INQUIRIES and many clubs started at
once, as he hopes to have all the
money and articles in by Christmas
time. Anyone desiring further in
formation in regard to the "Save A
Baby Club" movement can secure
full information by addressing Mar
Gus C. Fagg, State Superintendent,
361 st. James Bid, Jacksonville,
Florida.

NEW SOUTH FARM AND
HOME Co. WINS CASE
In United States Court
Big Victory of Sieg over
His Enemies.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 19.-United
States Commissioner Mason has dis
charged, on extradition proceedings,
Benjamin Strauss and Benjamin F.
Levin, under Indictment in Jackson
vile, Fla, for alleged land frauds.
The commissioner held there had been
no scheme affecting mails in land
sale. Levin was a director in the
early days in the New South Farm
& Home Company of Palatka, Fla,
while Strauss is now and has been
director for some time.
The news conveyed in the above
telegram is that of a great victory
for Chas. H. Sieg and his associates
in this city. 1t will be remembered
that envious and discharged employ
es were charged with efforts to in
jure the company and that it was
their work that brought about the
Indictment last summer. A few weeks
ago Mr.. Sieg, accompanied by Col.
Hilburn and other attorenys went to
Chicago where the hearing was had
before the U. S. Commissioner. They
were also accompanied by witnesses.

Palatka and many of them are in a
next to starving condition. Chief
! Varnes says that many of them are
actually in a pitable condition; that
while some are undoubtedly tramps
many are worthy people, who need
help. 1t is hard for the police to dis
tinuish the worthy from the unworthy
but all are needing help, and what bet,
ter than that the charitably disposed
people of the city unite in an effort tc
help.
The association will ask the colore5
pastors of the city to give their co.
operation, and a committee was ap.
pointed to wait on them.

"No they amt Turks" volunteered
the Brakeman, "they are Turkos."
"What'n blazes is Turkos if they

"How long is this war goin' to last"
asked the Fat Man.

CLEAR CONSCIENCE
GIVES KAISER POISE
Born for This Crisis, Says
Sven Hedin, After
Seeing Him.

London, Nov. 2O.-The "Lokalanzei-
ger" publishes the following picture Of
the Kaiser by Sven Hedin:
81 had the happiness to speak 10 the
Kaiser in former years. and ne is not
altered Lotterly met him frequent
ly. and can only say that he has lost
nothing of his freshness and elasticity.
His appearance Is not altered in the
least, and yet every day he puts IN
twenty-four hours work. Everything
must be reported to him, and he takes
part IN everything.
81 am often aAked how Is the Kaiser
able 10 bear this physical and mental
strain. / think the correct answer is
that be is able 20 bear II because his
conscience is clear that he feels him
self innocent before God and man Of
having caused this war and that he
knows he did everything in his power
to prevent it.
THE Germanic cause cannot wish
for any better representative than the
Kaiser. and il would almost appear as
If he had been born for this crisis.
For Just as he did all in mis- power 20
keep the peace. he feels now tina, he
is responsible for the development of
the German destiny. and with this in
view he devotes TO the cause al. his
feelings, thoughts and acts"
