''In 1917 and 1918 you will re-
ceive notice from the state to pay
the registration fees for those

1t the duty Of the county attor-
ney to collect the same. .@

Anthem Played Separately and Not In

Have Been AgItatlng
Locally.

When the local D. A. R. chapter
agitated the playing of 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner" the national an
them Of the United States, as a sepa-
rate number and not in medley, the
practice Of the United States Marine
band was cited. Those who heard the
concerts yesterday heard THE Star
Spangled Banner" played separately,
with both band and audience stand
ing. The agitation to have the local
musicians keep the national anthem
out of medleys ought to have received
good boost in the right direction,
following the concerts here yester-
day. ag .-sa.saf .s.n.
i, Some of the local musicians seemed
to favor the stand taken by the d. A..
RS and have kept the national hymn
as a separate number. Others, how
ever. have been rather lax in this and
play 1t in with other numbers.

Display Of Bad Manners

Those who attended the concert
last night were treated to a display
Of bad manners If not absolute indif-
ference to patriotic IDEAS When the
audience stood during the playing Of
the national anthem, about two dozen
people in all parts Of the house start
ed to parade up the aisles and leave
the house. Other people all over the
house began frantic grabbing for
hats and coats. ." s., s. "".
In most cities, audiences stand at
attention during the playing Of Keys

be particularly backward about this.

through the schools and by the patri
otto societies and G. A. R. posts.

PALATkA TAKES
DOUBLE-HEADER
FROM LIVE OAK

On "wednesday the Palatka-Live Oak
game at Live Oak was called in the
fourth inning because of rain. When
called the game stood 2 to 0 in IA
vor of Palatka.
1t was because of the failure to get
a game on Wednesday that it was de-
cided to play two games on Thurs
day.
Thursday is Palatka's day.
Palatka won the first game in a
score of 3 to 1. Lennin and Chap
man were on the firing line for Pa
latka.
Palatka also won the second game
in a score of 2 to l, with Barstow
and Chapman on the firing line.
A large crowd of fans came from
Madison to see the games and from
the start they began roofing for Pa
latka. The game today will finish the
present series.
Next week the Palatka team will
tackle the Jacksonville S. A. L. team,
and are going to play in the same
winning streak.

MIR. Walton Resigns.

Mr.. C. H. Walton, for the past
year and half manager of the Wes-
tern Union Telegraph office in Palat-
ka, has rendered his resignation, the
same to take effect on the 9th inst.
Palatka is not going to take kindly
to the departure of Mr.. Walton; he
has been most kindly and accommo-
dating in his relations to the people
of this city and was one man who
was always on his job, therefore we
are all going to feel that we have
lost something more than a mere
telegraph manager, and we're not
going to like it, even little bit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walton will likely
take a little vacation and then go to
Tampa where Mr.. Walton has inter
ests and an opening in another line of
endeavor. He will carry the best
wishes of Palatkans with him
wherever he goes.

BASEBALL
LEAGUE DISSOLVED
By Mutual Consent-Paid
Players the Bone of Con-
tentiOn.

At a meeting of managers and 9TH
ers interested in the Tri-City Baseball
League recently formed and consist
ing of the teams from st. Augustine,
Hastings and Palatka held in c. r..
Rowton's store last Monday it was de-
cided to abandon any further attempts
to pull together as league.
The question over which the disso-
luton occurred was that of paid
players. Hastings insisted that no
one of the teams should be allowed
to have more than five paid players,
and St. Augustine seconded the mo-
ton.
Manager Martin of the Palatka
team insisted that he had the requi-
site number of home players who
could fill the demands of high-class
ball, and they were willing to play
at home but could not be relied on
to make trips to the other league
towns. st. Augutine and Hastings,
however, insisted on their point and
as a result the league was disbanded.
From now on each of these clubs is
at liberty to secure games wherever
they can, and it probably means that
Palatka will have a greater vriety of
ball and some infinitely better games
than had it been confined under league
rules to the two towns to the east
of US.
1t was Manager Martin of the Pa
latka team who secured the Live Oak
games last week. This week the Pa
latka club is in Live Oak playing a
return series with what has long been
considered the crack club of the State.
Next week Palatka's team will play
three games on the home grounds
with the Jacksonville team of the
South Atlantic League.
Then will follow game or two
with the celebrated Cohen Bros. club,
also of Jacksonville, and possible 9TH
Ell clubs which have more or less fame
which they desire to risk in bouts
with Palatka. Manager Martin is
working hard to secure baseball
games for Palatka which will afford
fans something to delight in. So far
he has accomplished his purpose.

JACKSONVILLE LEAGUE
TEAM TO PLAY HERE
Next Wednesday and Thurs
day, July Fl and 22,
With Local Team.

Manager NJ. H. Martin of the Pa
latka base ball club has concluded ar
rangements whereby the Jacksonville
team of the South Atlanta League,
will play with the local team on the
Palatka grounds next Wednesday and
Thursday, July 21st and 22d.
The announcement of these games
will be sufficient to ensure a big
crowd, not only from the city, but
from all parts of this and st. Johns
county. Those who are familiar with
the work of the Palatka team this
season feel confident that the boys
will show to good advantage in these
games with one of the nations mi
nor league teams, and that Palat-
kans will be furnished "some ball"
we'll worth seeing.

Russia's Merchant Flag.

The Russian merchant flag is hor-
izontal tricolor of white. blue and red.
Originally it was the Dutch flag, and
its appearance so pleased Peter the
Great that he took it with him from
Amsterdam and hoisted it upside down
His plan TO distinguish 1t from the
Dutch banner met with much criticism,
however. as the flag in an inverted
position denoted flag of distress, and
eventually the stripes had to be rear
ranged before Russia adopted 1t as a
national emblem

1t is the rabbit fur industry. In
small building adjoining his
rabbit hutehes at 1922 South Il
street, Huntamer has established
a tannery where he steals Mr..
Rabbits hide and turns out glossy
white, black and brown furs. II
is his hobby, as well as his trade.
II is the only establishment OF
its kind in Tacoma and probably
in the Northwest, and the indus
try is growing every day. Other
Tacoma rabbit fanciers are visit
ing Huntamer to find out how he
does it and are planning to be-
come furriers, too.
