FARMERS SEND US IN
ITEMS OF FARM NEWS
Let The Palatka News Be
The Clearing House For
Farm Items.

The Record-Advertiser, published
at Houston, Va, is urging its rural
subscribers to do just what we should
like for our farmers to do-give us
the news from their farms-to make
our paper sort of clearing house of
ideas for farmers of this vicinity.
Farmers do not use their local pa
pers enough, and yet the papers af-
ford the best and quickest ways to
build up their farms and communi-
ties. Every farmer should tell his To-
cal paper about his successes on the
farm and, how they were achieved.
We are always glad to get farm
ing story" for it enables US to spread
the news of progress in our vicinity.
And no one needs flow of eloquence
to tell of his success. The facts of
farming success are eloquent in
themselves. So write US. The edi-
tor can rearrange the wording of it
if such need be done.
No farmer should be too Indifferent
or engrosscd in his own work to pass
good idea along to his fellow men,
thus giving them the benefit of his
experience. Such articles are always
an inspiration to others. We well
know the true and lasting advance
ment of our community can come in
no other way than through the up
building of our farms, and so it is
not political and social news we want
any more than it is news from the
farms.

ARGUMENTS FOR
THE SANE FOURTH

Some people, when the Fourth of
July rolls round, demand firecracker
as big as neck yoke.-Joliet News.
The Fourth of July was not estab-
Ilished as a holiday for foolishness,
murder and confagration, but as an
occasion whereupon the people might
show their sense and fitness for the
enjoyment of liberty, peace and pros
perity. Let's be thoroughly Ameri-
can and have a sensible Fourth of July
Let US have more patriotism than fire.
works, more happiness in life than
trouble over injuries and sorrow over
.death.-St. Louis Republic.
This is an especially appropriate
time to deal with this matter. The
Fourth of July is approaching-Inde-
pendence day-which is a day of blood
and slaughter throughout the land, in
the name of liberty. Scores are kill
ed by gunpowder accidents on that
day and in the joyous celebrations of
the dawn of liberty. 1t is a fearful
price to pay for the celebration of a
day.-Salt Lake Tribune.
Parents who have boys who kave a
fondness for explosives, toy pistols
and blank cartridges should study the
statistics of the annual tragedy and
keep their flesh and blood out of the
holocaust
Also
Dealers in fireworks should study
the figures in connection with the
laws regulating the use of firearms
and explosives and realize the risk
they run.
And
City councils should prepare to en-
force ordinances already passed and
to revise and bring up to date the
laws respecting the sale and use of
explosives on the day we celebrate.
The Chinese method of American
celebration is entirely too costly

The Fathers of Our Country.

This day every man and woman in
our country should stop long enough
to call up from the past the thought
and purpose of our fathers in put
ting together the structure of a new
nation. We should close our eyes and
dwell devoutly upon the pure patriot
ism which burned in their blossoms
like steady fire in the darkness.
We should put ourselves in their
places, think their thoughts, indulge
their hopes, experience their fears,
suffer their hardships and endeavor to
see with their anxious eyes the way
up which liberty and law, justice and
order shall go side by side with equal
vigor and even step, blessing with
their freedom and fraternity and en-
nobling with their dignity and discip-
line the ambitions and labors of man
kind-Martin w. Littleton.

ELDERLY LADY SEES
MARVELS Of THE AGE
Has Her First Sight of Troll
legs, Trains and Phones

A rather bewildered but happy old
woman, dressed in homespun shirt
waist and skirt of gingEam, Satur-
day, gave her experience in Philadel-
phia how on Friday of last week she
travelled on a railroad train for the
first time in the seventy years for her
life. She also saw the first time
subway and trolley cars.
Mrs. William Carlisle, of near Ell
lendale, Sussex county, Del, is the
woman. She told of the wonders of
her trip on an Accommodation" from
Glendale to Philadelphia.
Until Mrs. Carlisle made this trip
trains, trolley cars, telephones and the
telegraph were things unreal to her.
Until her husband died three months
ago she lived contentedly at their lit
tie home three miles from Glendale.
She never cared much about travel
ing" she explained. 81 was just hap
ipy in staying at home. When gro
ceries and such things were needed
my husband would drive into town and
get them.
For me, l had plenty to do round
the house, and | never was any great
hand at travelling round. | always
kinder thought folks, especially wo-
men, ought to be contented to stay at
home"
But after the death of her hus-
band her married daughter, Mrs. Jen-
ME Steiner, persuaded her to go to
Philadelphia, and Friday of last week
Mrs. Steiner came down to Glendale
to carry her mother to the city. The
trip was just one wonder after an
other to Mrs. Carlisle. She almost
wept with delight at the pleasant SEN
sation of being hauled along so rap
idly and comfortably in the train.
at does beat walking, you get there
faster" she told her daughter over
and over. The trolley cars passed
as the train neared town and were
another marvel to this old woman.
"They amt got any horses, nor en-
CINE, nor nothin' to draw them along"
she complained. at don't seem like
the Lord intended men folk to have
so much sense as to fgger out all
that"
Mrs. Steiner took her mother into
a telegraph office, and a kindly OPP
SictOl ca pldlllCu ItleSl dplly W Hel.
Then she was shown a telephone and
told that by talking into it in an ordi-
nary tone person in New York cas-
lily could hear her.
By this time Mrs. Carlisle was past
words. She fell back on homely
cid expression; throwing up her hands
she exclaimed, LANDS sakes."
Until she went to Philadelphia, a
town of 5000 popultion was the
largest she had ever been in The
years swept by unheeded. The SIM
pie little joys and duties of her own
home were the things which spelled
health and happiness for her. The
outside world rushed along, but what
it was doing or what was being done
in it, she neither knew or cared. The
only really modern thing she was IA
miliar with was the automobile.
Glow do you like Philadelphia ?"
she was asked.
cts mighty nice, recon-" she re-
piled, "but there are so many big
houses, and the folks don't seem to
know each other. They don't speak
to each other when they pass. They
amt neighborly here like they are at
home. And the folks here look like
they were in a hurry most all the
time. | guess it's a mighty nice
place. l like to see the cars pass"

In carving, ham and beef should be
cut thin; pork, lamb, veal aid mutton
a little thicker. When carving a leg
of mutton, take hold of the bone end
with the left hand, then cut thin
slices down to the bone and loosen
each slice by putting the knife fat on
the barred bone and cutting through.
The slicing should gradually change

Lakeland Telegram: The resigna.
ton of Mr.. Bryan from the Cabinet
at this grave crisis in the nations
career, comes as distinct shock to
the country, coupled with a feeling OF
deep disappointment. While the peo-
pie have recognized the wisdom and
ability of Mr.. Wilson, and have in no
uncertain manner demonstrated their
confidence in his power to cone with
the most serious situation that has
confronted any president since Lin
ccln, that confidence has been foster
ed and strengthened by the feeling
that his policies have had the Sus-
tanning influence of Bryan's counsel
and cooperation. The two men have
been pictured in the public mind as
working together in complete har-
mony and unison for the shaping and
perfecting of those policies which
would impel the nation safely through
the troublous times that have come
upon us. A disagreement as to the
character of these policies was I'M
looked for and the circumstances will
cause sincere regret throughout the
country.

before US, believe that Mr.. Bryan's

stun bled and blundered in the maze
of those lrinly reticent fastnesses, for
the last few hours haunted by a fsar
OF failing reason-pos ssessed by a no
tion that he was dogged by furtive
enemies-and within the last hour the
pdppet of blind. witless panic
But even as he strove to calm him
self and rest the feeling that some
thing was peering at him from behind
a mask of underground grew intoler-
ably acute.
At length he Jumped up, glared wild
