Favors an Expert and Fair.

The News has received the follow
ing letter from one in far off Nebras-
ka who spends much Of his time in
Palatka and who has deep interest
in the growth of the surrounding
country:
Waverly, Neb., April 9th, 1914.
Editor Palatka News:-I read what
was in your paper about the move
ment to secure county agricultural
expert or advisor, and wish to endorse
it as l do Mr.. Won Engelken's letter
on that subject. There is sore need
of some one we'll advised in agricul-
ture to aid the farmers of Putnam
County with good advice. 1t is not
likely that any expert pretends to
know it all; he learns from everyone
he visits and carries the good ideas
from one to another. | have some
property in Putnam County and hope
some day to get down there and make
that country my home. l am always
willing to take advice.
| hope that a County Fair Asso-
citation may be successfully organized
and repeat the success of last De-
cember, which was an eye-opener to
everyone who visited it.
Palatka is a good town and locat-
ed as it is on a navigable river it
ought to grow as well as the country
all about it. am glad to know that
Palatka has an active Board of
Trade, something every live town has
nowadays. W. D. MARSHAL.

making Good on the job"

Under the above heading the Plant
City Arrow of last week thus refers
to P. M. Hagan, formerly deputy
sheriff of Putnam county, who is now
Deputy United States Marshal:
"Pete Hagan-great big, good ma
tured, jolly fellow that he is-certain-
ly makes success as deputy United
States marshal under U. S. Marshal
j. c.. Brown, at Jacksonville. Pete
Hagan seems to be like a poet, born
for the job, not made. He has filled
various and sundry positions in Put
nam county, where his bravery and
his ingenuity were put to the test,
and he has never failed to score.
"Pete" was in Plant City recently on
business for our "Uncle Samuel,
and called on the Arrow. Ye editor
was but short while ago associated
with Pete Hagan as deputy United
States marshal at Jacksonville, filling
temporary appointment, and has
occasion to know of his ability, integ-
rity and popularity. We would not
be surprised to hear that Pete Hagan
had been drafted to even something
better in his own county of Putnam
sooner or later. We learn that he is
missed very much since moving to
Jacksonville and that Pete is never
happier than when going back among
his friends in old Putnam on official
business"

many friends while here, and we hope

Quite number of our ladies did
Easter shopping in Palatka last week,
and in consequence there was fine
showing of new bonnets Sunday
morning.
Miss Ethel Tucker has been indis-
posed for several days with case of
chicken-pox which mas been quite
prevalent in this vicinity
Miss Lillian Winans gave de-
lightful entertainment in the hall last
Wednesday evening, assisted by local
talent which was greatly enjoyed by
the audience. Miss Winans whose
home is in Arlington, n. j., is an ar
fist of exceptional ability, and those
who awaited themselves of the pleas
ure of hearing her considered it a
treat not soon to be forgotten. AT
ter the program ice cream and cake
were on sale after which a social hour
was enjoyed.
Easter did not dawn fair and bright
as should be it's custom, but despite
the rain and clouds, the church SER
vices were we'll attended both MORN
ing and evening. The church was
beautifully decorated with a profu-
sion of palms and flowers. The SER
vice at night was sung by the choir
assisted by the younger G. E. mem
bers, and the story of Easter was
charmingly read by Miss Winans.
The ladies of the V. l. A. are pre-.
pairing for a May day entertainment
to be held on the evening of May 1st

Melrose and cleaned up the club there
by score of 7 to A. 1t will be re-
membered that on Saturday the 18th
of March the Melrose team came over
here and we beat them by score Of
16 to nothing. That these Sandspurs
made better showing last Saturday
was due to the fact that they had
fcur hi ed pI-yers, but even with
them they could not shine with the
Muck Rakers.
We are going to do some work on
the ball diamond Saturday, the 18th,
and want every one to turn out and

who have no teams will please bring

A Gentleman.

ION the whole, the finest gentleman
I have ever met says writer in the
Unpopular Review. was the japanese
Samurai and art critic, the late Okla
kura Kakuzo. | recall as wildly his
courteous and eXpectant silences as l
do his always eloquent and brilliant
discourse. lndulgent to the small talk
of others, he declined to share it. If
he ever gave utterance to mere
prejudice or to any petty personal con-
Germ it was not in my hearing. He
appeared to husband himself until the
talk should take wide impersonal
range, and then his comment was
fervent and Illuminating. A noted
American poet critic has somewhat
similar habits. His prolonged silences
are comfortable. even deferential. his
rare speech instinct with sympathetic
understanding with men and books
and nature. The late John LaFarge,
who was in cOngenial society a con-
tinuous talker. offered an interesting
equivalent for reticence in the allu-
siveness of his touch and in beauti-
full perception of the kind of sympa-
thetic response you would have made
had you not been better occupied in
listening to him. He had what most
free takers signally lack, perfect

Deserved Approval.

Secretary Folsom of the Board OF
Trade is in receipt of the following
letter from Prof. c. L. Willoughby,
which speaks for itself:
On my recent inspection trip with
students of the College of Agricul-
ture in your section, l was very much
be learned at the dairy operated by
Mr.. John NJ. Park of East Palatka,
and would like to mention this to
you in this way with the idea that the
point might otherwise pass unnotic-
ed.
The modern demand in dairy work
is for clean milk Waen this demand
first came it was thought that milk
with a low content of bacteria could
be produced only in costly barns with
concrete floors and steel fixtures. La
ter investigation shows that there is
more in the method of doing the work
in the barn and dairy than in the
equipment, and that any dairyman
with comparatively cheap equipment
and barn can, if he desires, produce
high grade milk with small number
of germs.
The barn and dairy as operated by
Mr.. Park of your city is a good exam
pie of clean methods with modest
equipment. l have no doubt that the
bacterial content of the milk from his
herd would show very low. l found
that he was keeping his barn, stalls
and cows so clean that any one could
work there without soiling even their
Sunday suit. He is removing the ma
nure and storing it in a properly
constructed pit. With the aid of his
wife he is keeping the dairy room
sweet and clean with proper washing
methods, and is using very excellent
cooler and aerator and a proper am
cunt of ice for cooling the milk a
short time after it is drawn from
the cows.
These few points are essential in
producing the best milk; clean con-
ditions as to cows and stable, and
then cool it properly Immediately af-
ter milking and keeping it in cool sto-
rage until delivered to the customers.
| think Mr.. Park deserves to have the
patronage of your people, and sue
coed with his work.
Very truly yours,
C. L. WILLOUGHBY.
