Say Game Was Stolen.

The Palatka baseball club played
with the club at st. Augustine last
Monday, Labor Day. Rather, the st.
Augustine club played with Palatka.
Hundreds went over from this city to
see the game. The News was not
represented.
At $3.50 telegram came saying
that "Palatka wins in score of 3 to
o." But that was q mistake. That
was the score in the 8th inning. 1t
was after this that the robbery took
place.
Good, clean, conservative men from
this city who know baseball say that
it was unquestionea robbery. They
said this without bias. They had no
money on the game and were not
speaking through the disappointed
vision of one who had financial rea-
sons for feeling "sore." They say
the Palatka team was robbed Of vic
tory through the decision of one of
the 'umpires, and that there is the
strongest kind of circumstantial evil
dence that the robbery was by design.
But Palatka isn't in q position to
ask for special sympathy. Our boys
should have quit the game rather than
submit to an unjust, robber decision.
They might have forfeited their share
Of the gate receipts, but they would
have registered a timely protest and
enc that would have had weight
among all people.
As it is they have little standing
as kickers. Those who submit quiet
ly to robbery without hitting back fail
in securing popular sympathy. The
PaIatka club has always stood for
honest, meritorious playing; it has
been robbed before. And because it
has stood for honest ball. the Palatka
club has the faith of its home people.

ly has increased IA per cent in two
years.
We seem to be living in the last
malt hour of human progress in ev-
erything else, why not improve our
primitive, wasteful, expensive system
Of marketing. The State Marketing
Bureau expects to help solve the
p'2Giem in Florida, by sending out
Bulletins stating prevailing prices in
the market centeGs of the country,
cost and best methods of picking or
harvesting; packing; express or
freight rates; storage; selling COM
nlSSlonS; Instructions as to local CO.
operative associations, etc. etc.
The problem of marketing crops is
one OF great Importance, equally as
momentous as the growing, perhaps
more so. The fullest measure of sue
cess can come only to those who, af-
ter producing crops, successfully
solve the problem of getting them to
market in the very best shape.
Any system of handling products
which does not put premium on
quality cannot endure. To be care
less or Indifferent about the appear
ankle Of any marketable commodity is
to invite loss. The destiny of the
human race for all the ages to come
is right now more in the keeping of
the people of the United States of
America than any other nation in the
world.
Florida will in years to come have
more to do with the worlds food sup
ply than any other State. That this
food may find the shortest and most
economical route to the markets of
the world thereby bringing the
greatest benefits to the people of the
State, is one of the objects of the
Marketing Bureau. Advantages and
disadvantages in trade have deter
mined the fate of nations in all ages.
What has made the great nations and
the great cities of the world? What
is it that keeps the pulse-bcat and
heart-tr0b of industry going? What
is the power behind the throne in the
--production and commerce.
To assist along the commercial side
CT agriculture will be one Of the
tasks Of the Marketing Bureau. If

Mr.. POOle's Correction.
Editor Palatka News:

Quite awhile ago-1f my recollec-
tion serves me correctly-you told me
that if | ever saw any thing printed
in the News, which was incorrect, that
you would gladly publish correction.
In an article appearing in your pa
per, of Aug. twenty-fourth, you made
some statements as to the reasons for
calling off the Labor Day Celebra-
ton, which were ambiguous-to say
the least. To allow the same to go
unexplained, might do The Guardeens,
the Home Guards, or some private
individuals an injury. Your state
ment that it was "guardeen' move
ment, is correct in so far as the Home
Guard organization is the guardians
Of the peace and order of the commu-
nifty. The idea of a celebration was
first suggested by the writer, to fur
nish an incentive for the Home
Guards. 1t being thought that with
the idea, that they were to appear,
as a part and as the feature of a
celebrtion at which there would prob
ably be thousands of people; would
arouse an interest sufficient to make
the Home Guard organization the best
in the state.
The Governor of the state is COM
maCder in chief of all State Military
forces, and as such he was invited.
Had his name been Dog instead of
Cats, it would have been the same.
For some reason or other the Home
Guards could not secure tie proper Of
fetal recognition in time for them to
make creditable showing and they
voted to have no part in the celebra-
ton.
The Governor, had a conflicting en-
gagement, and could not be here.
The two main causes of the "Cele-
bration" being removed there was
nothing else to do but call it off.
Thanking you in advance for the
published correction, I am,
Respectfully,
c. R. POOLE,
Palatka Sept. Bird, 1917.
(The News did say that the pro-
posed Labor Day celebration was a
"Guardeen" movement. The Home
Guard as a company had nothing to do
with it, The company was simply to
be used in the parade as one Of the
attractions. The News got it's infor-
nation from the chairman of the COM
mittee on arrangements, who said that
the reason of the failure to proceed
with the arrangements was apathy on
the part of the committee-that it had
never been enabled to have a quorum
at the meetings. Gov. Cats had
promised his attendance. He chang
ed his plans after the committee
found that there was no enthusiasm

Florida has just administered th"
most sacred rite that a commonwealth
can be called on to perform. She has
just placed upon the sacred altar Of
defense the best of her young man
hood that democracy may be preserv-
ed to the world. These young men
who have gone forward to battle for
the right are in the prime of their
life and with the greatest promise be-
fore them. Those who ere less for
tunate and have been selected to re-
main at home, have no less sacred du-
ty to perform. The country must
be fed and clothed. The young men
who are making their sacrifice for
the country must be surrounded with
every physical comfort that it is pos
sible to obtain. Those who have to
remain at home must repare them
selves doubly well for the cmorgen-
cies that will arise.
No one should prove derelict in pur-
suing such studies as will make him
more useful in the immediate future.
II will require a special degree Of
courage at this time to keep from
following the easiest route. Every
young man who cannot 90 to the
front and who has the ability to mas
ter advanced studies, should at once
prepare himself for the emergencies
and the call. England and France

The ancient Egyptians reaped their
grain close to the ear and afterward
cut the straw close to the ground and
laid it by. 1t was this straw that Pha-
raoh refused to give to the Israelites.
1t was because of this refusal to give
the longer straw to the Israelites that
they were compelled to gather Stub

able difficulty, seeing that the straw
itself had been cut off near to the

Il wasn't scared-very much" chat
tered Johnnie. Come on, UUncle Wig

So, leaving the grasshOpper to get
some molasses out of the late fall
flowers. the bunny gentleman and the
squirrel boy went on together until
they came TO an open place in the
woods. There Johnnie flew his kite.
Higher and higher it went up in the
air, until IL was but speck amid the
Clouds and the squirrel boy was very
proud.
Here, Uncle Wiggily," said John

like, for a while"

But just as he vas going to take II

Climb a tall tree, Johnnie, and may
be you can CAB the end Of rthe string
that is still fast TO the bite, and tie
it to the piece IN your paw. Then
you'll save your kite. Up into tall
tree with you"
Up scrambled the squirrel boy, but
he was not quick enough, fast as he
was. Away sailed the kite, dragging
part OF the string with it.
"Oh, my nice kite is goner sadly
cried the squirrel boy as he climbed
down from the tree
PERHAPS not gone forever" said

your end Of the string, AMI I'll fly up
and see II I can't tie ii to the piece Of
string that is still on the kite"
Who are your asked Uncle Wig

The grasshopper you didn't let

Then the jumping creature took
Johnnies end Of the string, and up
in the air il hoped.
The grasshOpper caught the dang
