Still Rubbing it In

Tampa Times: The senior senator
is back again. We would respectfully
remind him that there is peacefully
reposing somewhere on the senate cal
endar an innocent looking little bill de-
signed to remove certain customs
headquarters. 1t is much in need of
the senator's good offices to determine
whether it is to die of inanition, to be
put out of its misery by one speedy
stroke, or, if it is dead already, to be
quietly buried. If it is dead we would
like to be officially informed, for The
Times would like to print its obituary,
with brief biographical sketch.

MOURNING DISAPPEARING.

The notice Of the death OF an emt
nent man In London contained these
words: His wife and family will re-
spect his urgent deaire that NO out
ward RiSn of mourning should be
worn" In referring to this notice the
London Times says: The practise
Of wearing mourning has long been
sliding into disuse, and probably the
next 20 years will see 1t abandoned
altogether, at any rate among the
weather. people" According to the
London paper, all badges of woe are
disappearing from funerals. The black
rosettes on the horses brides and
the Grape on the hats and sleeves
are seen seldom. So 1t is with black
edged writing paper and black edged
cards. 1t is all going, because mourn
ing is not needed, either for memory
or respect. Here are two paragraphs
from the Times article: Those whose
sympathy we value will give it us,
without our advertising for it; it will
seem all but indecent to go about the
world demanding sympathy of stran-
gers. And If we believe that those Who
have left US have still the power to
observe our doings we must believe
that 1t is our hearts, not our clothes.
that they will read" All of which
may seem little unfeeling, and yet
1t is only to give an idea of the
changes that are going on in the world
of mourning.

A GOOD WAY TO
BUILD UP THE CITY.

Your Uncle, Moses Folsom, secre.
tary of the Palatka board Of trade
has long head and is a builder who
insists on sure foundation.
Mr. Folsom has been energetic in
his efforts to advertise the farming
lands about Palatka, especially those
in Putnam county. He believes in and
has talked much in favor of farm
demonstration work, of Boys Corn
Clubs, of Girls Gadening and Canning
Clubs. Some people in Palatka have
been inclined to criticize him for his
efforts in this direction, believing that
he should devote all his energies to
Palatka.
Now that is just what he is doing.
Much of Palatka's future depends on
the development of the surrounding
country. That is a sure foundation.
There is frst-class authority for this
assertion.
Out at Guthtie, Okla, the Chamber
of Commerce is working out a SINH
lar idea and is bringing prosperity to
both the city and county. Instead Of
depending on advertising to build up
the city, it was resolved to make the
surrounding country so prosperous as
to attract all classes to that imme-
diate locality, in the expectation that
the city would get its share of the
benefit.
Confronted with the fact that the
farms were being abandoned, and
people were moving into the city
when they ought to be working the
soil and making a market for city
products, the Guthrie Chamber of
Commerce began at once to work with
the farmers. A farm demonstration
was employed who travelled from farm
to farm instructing in the latest meth
DDS, insisting on rotation in crops, and
counseling on the best methods 10
fight crop destroyers. A woman farm
demonstrator was also engaged to aid
the women in vegetable farming, can
ming and fruit growing.
From the first the movement was
a success. Production immeditely
increased, and Guthrie became promi-
nent as distribution point for farm
products. And when the county in
which Guthrie is located carried off
the premium in a dry farming con-
test, the attention of the whole State
was attracted to what Guthrie was
doing.
Immediately there was a demand
for town lots, small manufactures
were encouraged, among them a cot
ton mill, which used all the cotton
raised in the county and paid from
the day it started. And this gave
work to women who would have other
wise have had to compete with each
other as store clerks and hired help.
in short the Chamber of Commerce
believes it has gotten business point
ed in the right direction-the art of
fanring proftable-and it is
sure it has demonstrated that the city
will grow in harmony with the pros
perity of the surrounding country.
Neither the city of Palatka nor its
board of trade is spending any money
to pay farm demonstrators, but Sec
retary Folsom is doing all in his pow
er to urge upon the powers that be
in the county to second the efforts Of
the National and State governments
to encourage farm demonstration
work, Boys Corn Clubs and Girls Can,
ming Clubs in this county He is
working with all the power at his
and, we are sorry to say,
against adverse criticism, to make
