BOOSTING FLORIDA'S
CORN CROP.

Florida's bankers are doing splendid
service for the betterment Of the ag-
ricultural interests of the state.
The Heard National Bank of Jack
sonville has just announced prize
of S1OO for the best bushel of corn
raised in Florida, S75 for the second
best and $50 for the third best.
This is in keeping with the an"
nounced policy of the State Bank
ers Association at its annual con-
vention in Daytona.
Farmers in Putnam county and
this setcion of the state may get
registration cards at the Putnam
National Bank in Palatka if they de-
sire to enter the contest.
The Palatka territory is destined
to be one of the great corn raising
sections of the state. AS a second
crop corn is one of the most profita-
BILE products for the potato growers
to raise and Palatka is the center of
a great potato district that is spread
ing out in all directions around the
Gem City.
With the increase in corn pro-
duction it is urgent on Palatka to
take advantage of the tendency of
the county's growth and to provide
a cash market for corn and other
field crops. This it can do without
the expenditure of money, as a we'll
organized bonded warehouse company
is ready to come to Palatka the
moment the business justifies it.
We believe the business justifes
it to-day. 1t is up to the merchants
of Palatka and the farmers of this
section to get together and prove by
facts and figures that we raise the
products.

But the tick is going. That is as
certain as death and taxes. The
war of determination has begun.
The great lumber and turpentine in
terests of the state have raised a
fund of 100000 a year for three
years to carry on the campaign of
education and determination. The
state government and the United
States government are combining in
the warfare, and it will not be long
before Florida will be declared tick
free.
With the quarantine raised Flori-
da will be one of the greatest cat
tie countries in the world. The
knot head will be thing of the past
and it will all come about by the
exodus of the tick and an inrush of
cattle men to Florida from all over
the United States that will be one
of the most remarkable movements
in the history of agriculture in this
country.

THE EDITORS
TROUBLES.

During the recent press meet al
Kissimmee, DR.. Lincoln Hulley, pres.
ident of Stetson University at De.
Land, addressed the editors. He spoke
in part on "The Editors Troubles" as
follows:
"Who has more troubles than the
editor, and who gets less sympathy ?
Everybody posters him. Everybody
criticises him. Nearly everybody
condemns him. But he has ways of
his own in getting back at them. One
person brought in poem entitled 4
Am Tired He scratched on the mar
gin, so Am l, and sent it back. An
other sent him a poem, Give Me
Back My Own He did. Another
sent him a poem requesting that he
return it with criticism right away,
as the author had another iron in
the fire. He wrote on the margin,
Take out the iron and insert the
poem Another editor advertised in
despair: Spring poetry no longer re-
ceived, for we now use steam heat,
not stove.'
Another editor got poem entitled,
why Do I Live? He returned it,
saying, Because you send your stuff
by letter and do not come in person.
They say there is one old editor
chap in Canada who is now 103 years
old. He has made so many typo
graphical errors that he is afraid to
die. One editor called a fellow editor
an 'ass,' and then signed himself,
yours Fraternally.' When dear,
good lady of the village church pass
ed away, the editor attempted to say,
she died of general debilitv,' but the
devil got it mixed and said, she died
of general deviltry.' Jones grew very
sick. The editor set up an account of
it: Jones is helplessly ILL Jones died
before the paper went to press. The
word 'ill' was stricken out and the
word dead was inserted. 1t then
read, Jones is hopelessly dead One
editor, politically inclined, headed an
article Seekers After Office But
when he saw it in print it read, Suck
ers After Office And another editor,
theologically inclined, wrote that the
Cock wept, and Peter went out and
crew. '"-Arcadia News.

Railway Car Wheels.

Everybody knows how the wheels OF
a railroad car are fastened to the axle
They are Shrunk On-that is. put Oh hot
and allowed to shrink in cooling so that
they are practically a solid piece with
the axle. These cars so around curves.
and It will be observed that the outer
rail covers great deal more ground
than the inner one, 50 that to turn the
curves and finish even the outside wheel
must Of necessity travel considerably
faster than the inner one. Yet it is
fixed solidly to the axle and cannot
make a fraction of a revolution more
than the other one, yet the axle remains
intact, and the curves are passed with
untiring regularity

That State Campaign Book

Tampa Times: The state campaign
book provided for by the Bryan pri-
mary law in order that candidates for
state offices may make their appeals
to the people has been issued and dis
tlibuted among all registered voters
of Florida.
The book is printed on cheap pa
per, is joke from a typographical
viewpoint and we imagine 80 per
cent of the copies have reached waste
baskets and garbage cans ere now. If
it produces good to any candidate or
any citizen, we will appreciate re-
ception of a sworn statement to that
effect, as we would be inclined to
doubt the unsupported declaration of
our best friend on the subject.
The only pleasing feature of the
book is an apology for its appearance
which accompanies it.

Beoinnino at the Foundation.

The progressive people Of the parish
were anxious to reconstruct and adorn
the ancient church. and the senior
warden wrote to the bishop about it.

In st. Gregory's," wrote the bishop in
reply. Let the sexton keep it clean
and the parson keep it full."-Iouth's

Ludicrous Incidents in Politics
Orlando Reporter-Star: The cam
paign is producing some ludicrous in
cidents. The Bottle of Beer episode
thrown with the purpose of produc-
ing a bomb-like effect in the camp of
Knott is like the bombsky in the mu-
steal play called "The Mayor of To-
kio." An alleged Nihilist threatened
to throw the bomsky and when he f.
nally did hurl it from him it exploded
with only a very insignificant snap.
This was the bomb which the Demo-
crat had been threatening to cast and
it created only laugh. Now, fel-
low posing as millionaire and turn
ing out to be a forger created an
uproar in Tampa few days ago by
buying wine and cigars for everybody
in sight. He claimed to be cam
paign manager for Ion L. Farris. The
Joke here is that anybody should credit
Farris with having such large capital
behind him. But the fellow got away
with his joke for day, and had a
good time. Incidentally Farris got
some advertising out of it.

The Public Welfare First

St. Augustine Record: The date of
the primary is drawing near, and as
usual candidates are buoying their
hopes on promises or the optimistic
assurances of their friends. Some
men are better fitted for office than
others, but the best man does not al
ways win. The popularity of man
ofttimes overshadows his competency.
The welfare of the candidate should
not be taken into consideration by the
voter. The public welfare is all that
should receive consideration, for the
man is put into office to serve the
community, not to give him JOB.
If he is incompetent, or less comre-
tent than his opponent the latter
should be chosen.
The public welfare is paramount TO
the interests of the individual and the
qualifications of the candida e should
lie the only test. Courtesy, broad
reis If mind and intelligence are as
essential as technical training ii Qusl-
;fyig a candidate for office.

GETTING RID
OF THE TICK.

The cattle tick must go. 1t is
costing Florida millions of dollars
yearly in direct losses in the value OF
its meat products and hides and in the
depreciation in the value of land
that would be in great demand at
much higher prices if the United
States government had not establish
ed quarantine against all Florida
raised cattle. And the quarantine
is justified as long as Florida per-
mits the ticks to bleed its cattle and
spread disease and death among val
liable animals.

One of the greatest hardships met by
mountaineers and travellers over snow

the trip is over. Neither Ointments nor
artificial coatings seem to protect the
lips after the first day or two, and they

Ocala Star: Statistics which our

Florida is making great strides for

most twice the money out of her hog

ten years ago. The same conditions
prevail over the state as whole, the
native cattle having been increased
greatly in numbers and the grade has

Gettin' it in the Neck

Lakeland Telegram: An article in
the current number of Golfers, by
John Reed, recounting an interview
with Bryan, which took place on an
Oklawaha steamer between Palatka

coriation from the Florida press. II
seems that a certain class of writers
can never let pass an opportunity to
give vent to slightest and mislead-
ing references to the people of the
South, and this fellow Reed went out
of his way to do this in this article
referred to. The people of Florida
would be fully justified in refusing
Golfers admission to their homes. 1t

NEW STATION ROOMY
AND CONVENIENT
VIII Be Thrown Open to Public in
Few Weeks-Lighting Arrange
ments Especially Elaborate.

When the new railroad station is
thrown open to the public, as it will
be in a few weeks, the first impression
of the visitor inside the main entrance
will be in the ample size of the wait
ing room and the convenience of all ar
rangements for the accommodation of
the travelling public.
The waiting room has a very high
ceiling and the white plastered walls
above the wainscoting aid in giving
the appearance of size. While it looks
larger than it is there is sufficient
room in il to handle the passenger
| traffic of Brattleboro for many years
to come.
The plasterers and interior fnishers
are putting on the final touches on the
white walls and wQrkmen of many
| trades are busily engaged on the many
| jobs to be completed
| Three separate doors lead from the
| front entrance into the waiting ROOM
/ The ticket office. which is at TIE left
at the top Of a fight OF five marble
steps leading from the waiting room to
the enclosed overpass over the tracks.

the lighting arrangements for the en-
/ tire building are especially elaborate.
Two swing doors shut off the overpass
from the main building and the flights
of stairs leading to the track level are
remarkably easy to mount or descend
If it were not for some outside
concrete work that could not be finish
ed last fall before cold weather came
and for some minor details not earlier
worked out it would have been possible
TO throw the station open for use earli-
CT than will be the ease. 1t IS not ex
pected that il viii be used until al
, OF the contract work has been com
plcted and accepted.
