HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY
TO HAVE DONATION DAY
On Plans Recommended by
Parent-Teachers Associa-
ton.

A recent issue of the Putnam Spec
. tator, issued by the pupils of the Pa.
latka high school, contained the fol
lowing:
At it's January meeting the Parent
Teacher Association voted to hold a
Donation Day for the Putnam high
school library, and a committee OF
three was appointed to work witch
the faculty in making this effort
to build up the library a success. 1t
is proposed that the ITALIAN Literary
Society of the high school render a
special program on Washington's
birthday, to which exercises the pub
lie shall be invited to attend, each
person bringing as their admission
fee, some good book, or the money
equivalent to some good book
1t may be recalled that this plan
worked very successfully last year, at
which time one hundred or more good
books were received. It is hoped
that there will be even a more gen.
erous response this year. Last year
we were glad to receive almost any
thing that looked like book. We
had to meet certain requirement,
namely build up library the money
value of which should be $3.50. This
we did. This year, however, we are
not wanting just any old book that
somebody else does not want, but we
want some of the best books from the
best libraries in the town. For in
stance, we want SCOTS Works; Coop
|er's Works; The New England Poets;
Thackery,s Works; Good History:
some good works in science. We
would like also to increase the mum.
Der of our periodicals. At present
we are subscribing only to the Lit
erary Digest, Popular Mechanics, and
National Geographical Magazine. We
want to add to this list the Worlds
Work, or the Review of Reviews,
Current Literature, Scientific Ameri-
can etc. In order to get the maya.
zines we must have money, conse-
quently the cash equivalent will, in
most cases be just as acceptable as
the book itself.
The library committee of the Par
ent-Teacher's Association is compos-
ed of the following ladies': Mrs. II.
F. Lecks, Mrs. Tom Squires, Mrs. w.
H. Downing and Mrs. H. L. Brown.
This committee is perfecting plans for
a thorough canvass of the town in the
interest of the school library.
Any assistance to this committee
from the public in general will be
greatly appreciated not only oy the
ladies of the committee themselves,
but by the boys and girls of Putnam
High School. If you have a good |
book you would like to give and can't |
bring the book yourself on the 22nd
Of February, let the committee know
and they will secure the book. The
same, if you would like to give mon

The Children's Part.

Mention should be made of the
children who took part in the differ
ent countries included in the "Trip
Around The World" given Tuesday
evening by the Woman's Club. At
the home of Mrs. w. A. Walton, which
was "Amerca," Indian) the children
added much to the beauty and primi-
tive setting of Indian, life. Louise
johnson as an, Indian maid, was very
typical of the part, falling into the
ways and lines of the grace of real
Indian maidenhood. Little Brandon
Warren and Weymes Walton carried
out the little Indian boy life very ac-
seeming to fall into graces,
to childhood among the In
dians. The setting was made COM
plete, by the beautiful collie dog, who
helped to make the picture real.
In Holland, represented at Mrs. M.
S. Browns, little Doris Causey who
was costumed in every detail, true to
Dutch life, danced her little Dutch
figure, to the delight of her audi
ences.

INTENSIVE WHEAT GROWING.
Startling Results Claimed For a Rus.
siap's Methods.

Startling Results Claimed For a Rus.
siap's Methods.
Some years ago, says an English pub.
LEGATION, Russian farmer discovered
method of increasing the yield of
wheat In so startling a manner that no
one believed he was telling the truth.
The Russian declared that it was pos.
sible to get seventy pounds of grain
from one seed and to make an acre
carry forty-five tons.
That does sound like a miracle, and
we do not vouch for it, but here is the
method, and if any farmer has the pa.
tience to try it he will certainly be sur
prised at the result.
Each grain is planted separately in a
sunken bed about fifteen inches deep
and three and half feet in width.
AS soon as the grain sprouts the little
blade is covered with thin layer of
earth about an inch and a half in
depth. The result is that you get three
stalks instead Of one. At the end of
three weeks the hoe comes into use
again, and the three stalks being GOV.
cred with earth, turn into nine stalks.
This process on being repeated a third
time results in twenty-seven stalks,
and the Russian in question repeated
it ten times in all. SO that at last each
grain produced 5000 stalks. If the
seed is first SOWn in the ordinary fash
ion and then transplanted to the pit be-
fore mentioned you get an even strong.
er growth. SO that after only eight cov-
erings more than 100000 stalks have
been produced from single grain

A Beautiful Book.

The Florida Farms & Homes, Inc.

on halfway measure. 1t leaps to
the front like fearless leader who
knows what he is up against.
For some months back this corpora
ton has been perfecting its plans of
operation. One of it's more recent
plans was the issuing of booklet on
Florida, with special reference to it
own property. This booklet come
fresh from the press last week and is
now being distributed. A Jackson
vile connoisseur in Florida litera-
ture says it the most beautiful book
let ever issued on Florida. The JAG
sonville man is right. He hasn't
oversaid it. He fell short. 1t is the
prettiest thing ever issued on the
Southland.
The book has siXty-seven pages of
descriptive matter and illustrations
that illustrate truthfully. The work
was done in New York and was based
on Florida made photographs and de-
scriptions that were written with the
idea of impressing facts upon readers.
The work is in the highest art of the
tart preservative of all arts" If you
can get copy get it, honestly, if you
can; but get it. See Col. James R.
Murphy. Tell him you want it for
your library. That will be the truth.

C. E. Rowton of this city is max
ing his encouragement this week as a
candidate for County Commissioner
a position he is now filling from the
Palatka district by appointment OF
the governor-to fill out an unexpir-

private business and wants to help
in making success of the business

a business. During his short term
in office Mr. Rowton has made SC

Editor Palatka News:

Editor Palatka News:
An article in one of the papers re-
porting the proceedings of the coun-
ty democratic executive committee
gave wrong Interpretation of my OBJ
jections to the committees making
recommendation for filling the place
of Mr.. Wattles on the school board.
My objection was to the executive
committee acting as a whole, as the
law has been changed and now the
members of the school board and the
county committee are elected uy the
voters embraced in the district they
represent, and I felt that for the
members of the committee outside
the district to be filled, to vote would
mot be in keeping with the law, or in
justice to that district, from the fact
that outside districts would be in the
majority and it would be possible for
them to recommend a man objec-
tionable to the very parties who
should have the right tf choice.
| am strong Eel'e> er that the ey-
ecutive committee IS the proper or
ganization to make Ill recommended
lions, and to disregard the commit
tee of county will never be my
plea in any case. Nor do favor any
man or set of men who will, and in
making reference to the school
boards recommending member
from one district to fill the vacancy
made by the resignation Of Mr.. j. H.
Green, | intended to speak of my dis
APPROVAL Of it and try to get an an
swer as to why, if they in that case,
made the recommendation, which in
this case were so anxious for the ex-
ecutive committee to do so. They
might say the executive committee
was not in session, but we were will
ing to get together as we always are
when the interests of the county need
looking after. was in favor at that
time, of the members of the commit
tee in this district making that rec
ommendation; was in favor of the
members of the committee from the
Palatka districts filling the vacancy.

tract from the fundamental principles

stand them.
