This property which has a frontage of about 50 feet on Central avenue and 100 feet on Van Buren street, and which is one of the most desirably located corners in auto mobile row, has recently been pur- chased by Dwight B.

AJIIi IS, 1JlG-
 The Arizona Council of Defense, in session assembled. calls upon every individual in Arizona to stand shoulder to shoulder in united determination successfully to meet the critical con- ditions now threatening our state and nation.
 The urgent need today is conserva- ton. Let all cooperate in prudent economy in the home, in our s0cIal IITe and general activities.
 Our food supply demands special consideration. All waste in the prepar- ation and use of food must be elimin- ated. Wherever possible, perishable. foods should be used in pref erence to staple products and canned goods The livestock industry must be conserved. We urge the various as soeiations representing this industry to cooperate to this end.
 We recommend that our merchants. wholesalers jobbers and retailers. take such action as will prevent all unwar- ranted or arbitrary increases in prices of food commodities. Individual hoard ing and accommodating of food is per nicious. Such a practice is not only of great injury to the majority of our citizens who are compelled from neceS- sity to buy supplies from day to day, but in the end reacts on those who in dulge in that form of selfishness. We call upon every individual to discour- age this practice, not only by precept. but by his own manly example.
 The planting season for summer crops is now upon us. Every effort must be made to bring all available land under cultivation. Waste places must be made to bear subsistence. Each member of the council pledges himself to plant, or cause to be planted

Yesterday afternoon and evening
throngs of delighted visitors were
shown through the lovely new home
of the Palatka Woman's Club on
Reid street With ideal weather
conditions the bright sun added its
brightness to the pretty scene where
visitors in gala autumn attire, sur
veyed the attractive interior of one Of
the neatest and most convenient club
houses in the state and we can proud
ly say, in any state, After years Of
paying rent and going from one build
ing to another as club gathering
place, the fond ambitions and hopes
are at last realized and the women
of the Palatka Club now stand in their
own cosy headquarters and from
thence can go forth the DEGREES tha t
the club endorses. Happy day for
those women who have labored so
faithfully for this building for at last
their hopes are realized and their la
bors rewarded. The entire executive
board of the club received the visitors,
and from 4 o'clock till nine o'clock
many visitors were made welcome.
The social committee served delicious
punch to all guests. Next Friday is
dedication day and a splendid program
has been prepared to begin at
o'clock. The public is most cordially
invited to the exercises. Come and
rejoice with us.

Palatka again loses to the larger
city. And this time the loss will be a
serious one. NJ. P Walsh, long con-
nected as an export promoter and ad-
vertising man with the Florida Farms
& Homes, Inc, will sever his connec-
tiCn with that corporation the first of
the coming week and will leave for
Jacksonville, where he has secured an
office in the Heard building, and where
he will engage in special newspaper
advertising work.
Mr.. Walsh is one of the best equipp-
ed newspaper men in Florida. He
comes of newspaper stock. His un-
Gle, the late Patrick Walsh Of the Au-
gusta Chronicle, perhaps being the
most prominent. Mr.. Walsh has been
associated with several of the great
New York dailies, and since coming
Florida direct from that city he has
done more than his bit in opening the
eve; Of FloridianS and the country
generally to the agricultural possibili-
/ ties Of the State. His works will fol-
! low him.
He has also been active in all move
ments for the development of Palatka
and Putnam county. He is a natural
born leader in farm development work
not a visionary leader, but a practi-
cal man who first gets to know what
he is going to talk about before he
talks. Mr.. Walshs gong is good
thing for Jacksonville, but it comes
mighty near being calamity for Pa
latka.

Putnam county people are going to
be called on to help in sustaining the
work of the Young Mems Christian

can go and have the comforts of a
home for lounging after hours ofwork
his off moments. These halls, or
clubs are open to every soldier, and
no questions asked or dues exacted.
They are absolutely free. Some one
has to pay for them. And who un
less the people back home?
We are asked to give money to sus-
tain these comfort clubs for the SOL
uiSiS WHO nave W SlNC
their lives for us. Ours is the puny
sacrifice, when compared to that of
the boys.
The Y. NJ. C. A. is a protestant
and Jewish organization in the war
camp club department, for She He
brew organizations of the country
have elected to affiliate with the Y. M.
c. A. in providing club facilities for
jewish young men in the army. The
Knights of Columbus provide club
houses for the Catholic young men,
but each of these clubs are open to
any soldier. He is invited TO come

can write, loll or smoke and visit.
Last Monday number of promi-
nent Palatka gentlemen met at the Of
flee of Superintendent Price in the

Secretary for Y. NJ. C. A. army work
They heard this man tell of the needs
and decided to organize local carl
p2ign committee to raise money to
help the Y. NJ. c. M. Mr.. Earnest
was made president and C. H. Price
secretary Putnam county has been
asked to give $4,000 toward this work
