Kendrick Booming

A review of Hendricks progress
since the advent of spring, discloses
the fact that number of substantial
improvements have been added to
the town. Some are still in the
course of construction but as they
have been started their completion
is assured. Five new bungalows are
being built and all but one are pract-
ically finished. The flour mill is
being moved to a more central loca-
tion as we'll as the warehouse in con-
nection. A new elevator for the
Kendrick Warehouse & Milling Co.,
is soon to be started. An addition
to the Kehdrick Rochdale's big
concrete elevator is being construct
cd which will more than double the
capacity Of the elevator. A COM
mission warehouse is completed on
the foundation of the old cold storage
building and is owned by Frank
Byrne.
A number of other buildings are
being planned and it is quite likely
that they will be put up before the
summer is over. A feeling of opti-
mism seems to be held among the
business men of this locality and the
progress the town is making is due
to the faith hey have in the wonder
fully rich country surrounding
Kendrick.

Kendrick Defeats Juliaetta

Kendlick won another ball game
from Juliaetta Wednesday afternoon
on the local grounds by a score of
Ia to 7. Numerous errors on both
sides were recorded and gave evil
dence of lack of practice on the.
part of both teams. Juliaetta has
had very little practice this season
but they expect to get down to work
and give Kendrick run for her
money before the season is over.
The Kendrick team is making
preparations for hard game with
the Lapwai Indians on the home
grounds and a fast game is to be
expected. Kendrick has won a
game from Lapwai already this sea-
son on their own grounds so the
boys are planning to pull down an
other victory Sunday afternoon

Will Solicit Y. M. c. A. Funds

A soliciting committee in the in
terest of the Army Y. M. c. A. is
expected to begin operations here
in the near future. While there
are many calls on the public for f.
nancial aid for the different branch
es of patriotic organizations, there
are none more worthy of your sup
port than the Army Y. M. C. A.
1t is proposed to raise at least $10O
in Kendrick. More than half of
this amount has already been
pledged so that the total for Kend.
rick ought to exceed the amount
asked for. 1t is so arranged that
the amount pledged may be paid in
monthly installments, making the
payment of your pledge less bur-
densome.

Drag The Roads Now

County Commissioner John l..
Woody wishes to bring the attention
of the farmers over the county to
the fact that the roads are badly in
need of dragging. Owing to the
rush of work this spring there has
been nothing said about dragging
as the farmers needed every day in
the field. The recent rains have
put the roads in first class condition
for dragging and Mr.. Woody states
that the matter should receive
prompt attention before the ground
becomes too dry to be worked effec.
lively. If the roads are left in
their present condition they will be
rough all summer. Now is the
time to get in the good work.

Decide On Concrete

The Vollmer Clearwater Company
has definitely decided to substitute
concrete in place of wood in the
construction of the new elevator.
This decision was reached this week
and was in line with the wishes of
Mr.. Atchison. Work will be start
ed as soon as the plans can be fin
ished and the material put on the
ground. The same firm that is
building the addition to the Kend-
rick Rochdale elevator has the con-
tract. The construction Of both
elevators will be carried on at the
same time.
Mr.. Clark, foreman of the work,
states that day and night shifts will
be inaugurated later on so that
both elevators can be finished in
time to handle the 1917 crop.
The kendrick Warehouse & Mill.
ing Company's elevator will contain
six tanks and will have a capacity
of 10000 bushels. This will give
Kendrick two concrete elevators
having a combined capacity of near
ly quarter of million bushels ol
grain.

Nature of Celebration

The National Council Of Defense
suggests that registration day,
June 5, be celebrated in serious
spirit, not as an ordinary holiday.
and that costly and elaborate deco
rations be discouraged. Each COM
munity is asked to make it's cele-
bration public expression of will
lingness to give the services of its
sons to the country.
In outlining program for OBJ
serving the day, the council pro-
poses that fire and church bells be
rung and whistles blown at Z. a. m.
the hour registration booths open ;
that bands play near the booths;
that men of registration age be es-
corted to the booths by their fami-
lies and neighbors and given dis
tinctive registering badge, and that
after the registration patriotic
meetings be held.
From press and pulpit and in
the school room," the letter says,
"every effort should be exerted to
impress upon all citizens their duty
at this vital crisis in the history OF
our country. Let the words ring
forth, '"The World Must Be Made
Safe For Democracy"

GROWTH OF BUSINESS
DEMANDED MORE ACE
And Palatka Auto & Supply
Company ErectS Big
Addition.

During the past three years the
business of. the Palatka Auto & Sup
ply Company has been growing at
such pace that the shops and store
rooms of the company had taken ev-
cry available store in the block and
extended to adjoining buildings.
Now the growth is back, and the
Grill estate has the walls up for a
new concrete. addition 45 10 feet.
This building is being erected by
Contractor Bogart, and should be
ready within the next two weeks.
All of this additional space will be
used for storing automobiles, and en-
trance can be made either through
the arched driveway on Second street,
or through the ally way from Third
street.
The Palatka Auto & Supply Com
pany is one of the largest and most
complete automobile repair and sup
ply depots in Florida and its business
has grown to these proportions
through the employment of only first
class mechanics, and expert gas en-
gine men. The company has COM
plete machine shops in connection
with it's garage and also a plumbing
department. When the new store
room is complete and the depart
ments are readjusted to meet present
day demands, it's business will be
handled much more expeditiously.

COMMITTEE TO SELECT
MASONIC HOME SITE
Looks Over Palatka's Offer
ing-DeciSiOn to Come
Later.

Some distinguished men were in
Palatka last Monday, not the least
distinguished of whom was Florida's S
bachelor Ex-Governor, the Hon. AL
bert W. Gilchrist of Punta Gorda.
Others were Grand Master A. S. York
of Live Oak, Grand Chaplain w. B. Y.
Wilkie Of Dunedin, Hon. Stafford
Caldwell of Live Oak, Walter Scott
of Fort Meade; these with Judge E.
E. Haskell of this city, who with Ex-
Gov. Gilchrist are also Past Grand
Masters Of the Masonic Grand Lodge
of Florida, comprised a special COM
mittee appointed at the last meeting
of the Grand Lodge to select site
for Masonic orphans. Other cities are
offering these sites, and some one of
the cities will be awarded it. Pa
latka is among the hopefuls. If
there is any one thing we are short
on it is orphans.
Sometime ago the Palatka Board of
Trade appointed committee to Sc
lect and tender a site in this city.
The committee secured the old Pc
termann homestead on the Hights.
Fred Cochrane was chairman of this
committee.
Monday the committee from the
Grand Lodge was taken in hand by
Ed. M. Earnest, president of the
board of trade, Chas. E. Rowton,
chairman of the board of county COM
missioners (and who by the way is
some way-up Mason himself) and es-
corted in automobiles to the place.
The committee seemed pleased; of
course they couldn't talk; there are
other sites in other cities to see, and
after all have been seen the COM
mittee will discuss the offerings. Pa
latka has a chance.
In the afternoon the committee
went to Ocala. 1t is not likely that
any site will be selected until the
meeting of the Grand Lodge in Janu-
ary.
The committee made headquarters
while in the city at the Saratoga Ho-
tel.

PALATKA HONORS A
DEPARTING PASTOR
With a Monster Farewell
Reception-Dr. Afford
Leaves Us.

Rev. DR.. and Mrs. C. M. Afford
were given farewell reception at the
Wilson boat house last Monday even
ing such as ought to tell the depart
ing better than any mere words could
convey, that Palatka people are not
getting any comfort from their GO
ing.
DR.. Afford has supplied the pulpit
of the Presbyterian church in this
city for the past two years. He
was never regularly installed as pas
tor, and he spent but little time in
the city except during his vacations
from his work as professor of history
in the Florida Military Academy.
But his pulpit work has been of. high
order, and not only Presbyterians, but
all the people of Palatka regret his
going.
He preached his final sermon last
Sunday night. 1t was a patriotic
sermon-the last of a series covering
several weeks. These patriotic SER
mons were of the kind most needed at
this time. They were educational.
They made his hearers appreciate
their heritage as American citizens.
He told them what it meant to be an
American. And he told them some-
things concerning the rugged men of
the past who have made this coun-
try what it is. Now that America
is at war, fighting for Liberty and
Democracy, those sermons had spe-
cial value.
On Monday evening the Mems Club
of the church, assisted by the Ladies
Aid Society announced farewell re-
ception. The bare announcement was
enough. People went without regard
to past or present religious afflia-
tions. Plain American citizens who
had never been guilty of any overt re-
ligious act were there mingling with
the righteous. They filled the hall
and the verandas.
DIR. Afford and Mrs. Afford were
assisted in receiving by Mayor Mer-
rlam, Mr.. and Mrs. R. S. O'Haver,
Mrs. F. j. Fearnside, Mrs. J. D. Lane
and others.
More than two hundred people were
present. The ladies served delicious
refreshments consisting of sand
wlches, cake and punch, with Mrs.
Leon Jones presiding graciously at
the punch bowl.
Ministers of other denominations
were present, all of them in fact but
DIR. Bonsteel, who was out of the city,
and who regrets the departure of his
co-laborer as much as a man can and
keep the tears back.
DR.. Afford has also resigned from
the chair of history in the Military
Academy, and it is understood that
he will tender his services to his
country as chaplain. Well, he will
make good one-one whom any man
or woman can feel good in knowing
is present to look after the spiritual
interests of their soldier son.
