Won ENGELKEN TO
SPEAK IN KANSAS
Campaign on Rural Credits
Also Before National
Bankers.

F. j. H. Won Engelken of East Pa
latka who was recently appointed by
President Wilson to be Director of the
United States Mint, has been drafted
for political work in the west.
Mr.. Won Engelken is now in Denver
where the government has branch
mint supervising the coinage of the
new preparedness dime. From Den
yer he will go to Kansas to make a
number of addresses in the democratic
campaign, and where his speciality will
be rural credits. He is to show those
Kansas farmers that it was a demo-
cratic administration which first took
notice of the financial needs of the
farmer and placed him in a position
where he could get money independ-
ent of the Wall street money trust.
This is a subject in which Mr. Won
Engelken is an acknowledged expert
and the administration is depending
much of his ability to make the rural
credits law clear to the western farm
ers.
After Mr.. Won Engelken gets
through with his Kensas campaign he
is to go to Kansas City, Mo-, to at
tend the meeting of the National Ban
kers' Association, which ne has been
invited to address.
Mrs. Won Engelken is still at her
home at Vingolf -on-the-St. Johns, but
is expecting to leave for Washington
about the first of the coming month.
That knight & Wall Team.
The Knight & Wall baseball team
which called on Palatka last week and
wrested two games from the locals
thereby doing something that no 9th
er club has hitherto accomplished, re-
turned to Tampa on Friday and told
the Tampa Times reporter of their
trip. The Times man puts it this
way:
rabbit" Bishop and eleven other
demons of the diamond returned to
Tampa this morning after walloping
Palatka yesterday as final wind up
to successful two weeks tour. crab
bit" had nothing but praise for the
boys who accompanied him on the
trip and said every mothers son of
them acted like a gentleman and
what's more, they all played ball.
The youngsters who went off under
the Knight & Wall colors, showed
their speed on many a strange dia-
mond and have returned with chal-
lenge to anything in the state. H.
Brown, Young and Schroeder COM
prised the pitching staff and hung up
some records that won't be busted in
many a long day. Schroeder went
to work on the opponents at one af-
ternoon session and struck out twen-
ty-one men, but the scorer lost track
in the confusion and he was only
credited with twenty-get that-on-
ly!
In the course of their travels they
ran up against some of the strongest
ball players that have swept down on
Florida in many day and among the
notables was Perryman, an old Birm'
ingham pitcher who has settled al
Starke. Lefty" George, a star Of
the jacksonville bunch, was also II
the Starke lineup and Pierce of the
Dixie league was among the twirlerE
at Lake City. However, the knigh
& Wall mileage annihilators took ZEN
as they came, and never faltered.
