THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW

We OF today often admire the
knowledge displayed by our friends
and our ne.ghbors. and occasionally
we may entertain slight conception
Of that which We ourselves possess.
But we are not prone to speak OF
or to admit Of those things that We
don't know.
For instance
You don't know when the war will
end.
You don't know which side will be
the yictors.
You don't know what conditions will
prevail in Europe after it is ended.
You may surmise. but you don't know.
You don't know what effect 1t VIII
have on this country when Europe
gets down to business again.
You don't know whether the end OF
this war will mark the beginning OF
a world peace. or whether IL is but
the foreruner OF a greater and more
devastating conflict which viii be
waged between the old world and the
new-between combination of Euro
pe2n nations on the one side and

The application of the term "Uncle
Sam" to the United States had its be-
ginning in Troy, N. Y, during the wal
Of 1872. A commission contractor Of
Troy named Elbert Anderson had a
shop in which the stocks were ALWAYS
examined and passed by a government
inspector called Samuel Wilson, who
was generally known as "Uncle Sam
When the boxes We're passed they were
always marked with the initials of the
contractor and the nation, "EA-Us.''
One day the man who was doing the
marketing was asked what the initials
stood for and replied jokingly that they
were the initials of the contractor and
Of "Uncle SAM" The joke spread
among the men, got into print and long
before the end of the war had become
known all over the country. Mr.. Will.
son, the original Uncle SAM" died in
Troy in 1S54.-New York Times.

Palatkan Joins Navy.

William E. Bailey Jr., of this city
has just passed his examinations for
service in the U. S. Navy and is now
in the training school for the navy at
Portsmouth, Va. Mr.. Bailey had long
wanted to enter this department of the
service, but by reason of being a little
off in weight in proportion to his
splendid physique, was advised to de-
fer for time. A week ago Tuesday
the time seemed to have arrived, and
he went to the recruiting office in Sa-
vannah, where he passed splendid
preliminary examination. From Sa-
vannah he was sent to Atlanta, where
he passed his final examination and
was admitted. Young Bailey wants
to take the electrical engineering
course provided in the navy for young
men so inclined, and from Atlanta was
sent to Portsmouth, Va, where he is
now at work in the training school.
Mr. Bailey lived for many years at
Satsuma Heights and his many friends
on the peninsula will be pleased at his
success. His parents are now living
in this city, his father being engag-
ed with Mr.. Newton in the harness
business on Lemon street.

PALATkANS TO PLUG
FOR SCHOOL BUILDING
10 Comport with Dignity of
City and it's Children's
Welfare.

A special meeting was held ,at
the Board of Trade Rooms last Mon
day night, called by patriotic citi
zens interested in providing better
school facilities for the children of
Palatka.
Perhaps you have noticed the illus
tratlons prepared by Fred Cochrane
and which for some days have been
On exhibition in the Ackerman-Stew-
art window. 1t shows some of the
magnificent school buildings provid-
ed by other cities and towns in
Florida, many of them being of less
Importance than Palatka. Towns Of
only half the size have high school
buildings costing from $4,000 to
$4,000.
There is also shown a view of Pa
latka's cheap, insignificant high school
building. This is our one deep dis
grace. Once we strove and failed.
Now is the time to make another
try. This meeting Monday night
was to arouse an interest and to
organize for one supreme effort for
new school.
Fred Cochrane was stuffed as full
as leather cushion with school
building statistics. He showed that
for Palatka to bond for 100000 would
only cost each tax payer but about
30 cents on the $1,000 of his prop
erty.
Herman F. Lecks, a prince among
pluggers for advanced ideas in
schools and other good things, was
made chairman of the meeting.
E. M. Earnest, who has been a
plugger for Palatka ever since he
struck the old town, was there and
made a ringing speech. Mr.. Ear
nest is now in position where he can
Go effective work. He is the new
chairman of the Palatka special tax
school district trustees. Watch him.
Col. Dinneen, the man who inter
viewed Mr.. Mellon and made an eff
fort to elongate his leg, reported
that that gentleman would come
across with a liberal donation-pro-
vided. This proviso will be respect
ed. Palatka thinks a heap of James
R. Mellon, and will weigh his
wishes with all the consideration due
to the man.
But we are going after that
school. You, fellow citizens, are ex-
pected to ENLIST. Don't wait to be
drafted.

Match Sticks.

Certain kinds Of matches are shaved
with the grain from sawed blocks
Others are cut both ways by saws. Ir
still further varieties the blocks are
boiled to make them cut easily. By
some machines boiled or steamed log
is revolved on its own axis, and a
shaving the thickness of match is
cut round and round. This shaving is
at the same time cut into lengths and
split into match sticks. 1t may be said
that there is hardly a limit to the vari
eties of methods employed Round
matches are made by forcing them
through dies.-Harper's.

The HOllister Picnic.

The last, probably, of the 5arle.:
of basket picnics which have been held
during the campaign in the country
precincts, was that at Hollitser last
Saturday. But it was by no means
the least. The candidates began to
arrive from Palatka and other points
soon after nine o'clock and by II all
were present.
A great number from the Hollis
ter section and surrounding precincts
were present, and at noon a magnifi-
cent basket picnic dinner was served
on the long table which had been
erected for the occasion.
The candidates were heard before
and after dinner, and all were given
a chance to present their claims.
Good nature and harmony prevailed
in it all.
The people of Hollister are certain
ly charming and hospitable lot. If
any stranger failed in getting that
"At Home" feeling, it was not be-
cause of any failure on the part Of
those good people to do their part.
Mr.. John Chesser was chairman of
the meeting and introduced the candi-
dates in gracious manner. His aged
father, Major Jas. w. Chesser, ar
rived early in the afternoon, having
lust returned from the annual Confed-.
crate reunion at Birmingham, Ala.
This old veteran was well decorated
with honor badges and miniature
flags of the Confederacy and was
greeted with much affection by his
home people. Another returning vet
eran was Capt. Archibald j. Sprott,
who was also on the ground to well
come the visitors. Capt. Chesser
of Alachua county, brother of
Major Chesser was also present,
having stopped over from Birming
ham for a visit with his brother.
Hollister people know how to
feed; they also know the art of good,
wholesome cookery. The ladies are
entitled to much credit for that
uuntiful spread.

BeIoian kongo.

eelrian Kongo, founded thirty years
ID still in the early stage OF devel-

ttnrinr industries have yet been es-
.Slisbed, and, aside from the impor-
sht copper mines in the katanga dis
Il. the only large industrial enter
ses are the railways and river trans
lion services. It may be said that
y business activities in the colony are
" ,otod TO- the collection of tropical
Sducts rubber, ivory, gum copal,

railway and river services are in
s1ity only accessories to these activi-
having been established primarily

&1ucts to the seaports. The gather
of rubber in Kongo has never re-

Word From Mrs. nj. V. MilIard.

Mrs. M. V. Millard, whose beautiful
home on the shore of pretty Mariners
Lake a little out from Interlachen, was
a center of gracious hospitality and
culture during the few years she lived
there, and who since the death of her
husband has been making her home
with her distinguished son-in-law, DR..
Butterfield, at Amhurst, Mass, writes
to The News that she has gone to AL
burqurque, New Mexico, to reside with
another daughter, Mrs. Berry, whose
husband only recently died there.
Her letter will be of interest to
many of our readers, especially those
living in the lnterlachen section. She
says:
"You no doubt noticed among your
lnterlachen items that my son-in-law,
Mr.. Berry, whose home was here, had
passed away, and that | was sent for
to comfort my daughter. Mr.. Berry
came here about seven years ago on
account of tubercular tendencies. To
all appearances he had won out in a
restored health and was filling an i'm
portant position as auditor for the
electric light and telephone company,
when he was suddenly taken i'll, and
so quickly did the death messenger
come that he only survived three
weeks. Mr.. Berry and daughter
spent a year with US in Interlachen.

of $4,000 inhabitants, located out in

HIGH SCHOOL
LEAD IN CONTEST,

The number of votes issued bv
the merchants of this city during the
first few weeks of the Library Con-
test, now being conducted by we'll
known business firms and the Pa
iatka News, is an indication of the
interest manifested by the different
churches, lodges, schools and socie-
ties OF Palatka in this great Con-
test. And why shouldn't they show
interest and patronize the merchants
and business firms whose names ap-
pear in this weeks advertisement,
when by so doing they can obtain
coupons and increase their chance for
winning the fine library of one hun
dred and two volumes and four sec
tions Of book cases.
Do not forget to cut out the cou-
pom which appears in the Palatka
News each week during this con-
test, also phone the different men,
bers of your church, lodge, school or
society and have them do the same.
You will be. surprised to see how
quickly the votes count up as each
coupon is equal to ten votes.
The only advantage one church,
lodge, school or society has over an
other is the advantage of an early
start. The different organizations
that enter now will naturally receive
the benefit that comes to the ones who
move quickly, still, if they are deter
mined to win, the fact that they start
ed later than some others will not pre-
vent them from coming out the win
ner. The more contestants the mer-
rier seems to be the popular senti-
ment of all.
