SCHOOL BONDING
PETITION POSTPONED
For Action at a Recess
Meeting of School Board
on 18th.

At the monthly meeting of the
county school board on Tuesday it
was decided by the Palatka special
tax district trustees not to present
the petition for bonding election un-
til a recess meeting on the 18th, and
that in the meantime the petition
would be circulated in the east side
districts.
Attorney J. V. Walton called in at
the meeting and reported that he had
received from Mr.. j. R. Mellon the
amount Of his contribution to the
school building fund, and that all
transfers Of the property required
for the site had been made.
Miss Josephine Sipprell, county can
ming demonstration agent, addressed
the board on the matter Of opening
demonstration room in Palatka, in
the old James Cafe which Mr.. James
had rendered for the purpose, and
presented list of equipment, which
the board authorized her to secure.
1t is Miss Sipprell's purpose to set
up an establishment here in the city
to which ladies from all parts of the
county can come and get instruction
on how to can vegetables and meats.
County Superintendent Price re-
ported on his visit to the Educational
Conference in Rock Hill, S. c., and
demonstrated by his interesting talk
that he received much in the way of
valuable administrative ideas.
Miss Ida Vause who taught the
school at Bostwick, and which did not
keep open the full term, but closed
one month short of the regular term,
presented through her attorney, Col
S. ]. Hilburn, bill covering salary for
that month. There is a difference he
tween Miss Vause's idea of right and
that entertained by the board, but this
will probably be adjusted.
The school board is composed of L.
c. Stevens (chairman) Fred V. Owen
and N. L. McRae.

The contract was let this week, Mr..
Banks being the successful bidder,

HOME GUARDS MERGED
INTO RIFLE CLUB
In Order to Secure Guns
from Government-Ad-
dltlOnal Members.

The military spirit has siezed Palat-
ka; Tuesday nights meeting of the
Home Guard is convincing proof of
That fact. The board of trace rooms
were packed, and the great majority
present were young men between the
ages Of 19 and 20, with here and there
an older person who had the spirit
all right, but who was shy on gym
nastics.
Sergeant Wagner, who had been
appointed orderly sergeant, called the
roll Of members, after which Capt.
Points gave an opportunity for 9TH
ers to enroll, when more than doz-
en- new members stepped forward and
signed.
Second Lieutenant H. M. Fearnside,
chairman of the committee appointed
at a former meeting and charged
with duty of securing information
needed for organization, reported
that while there was bill pending
in the legislature, which, if passed
would confer authority to-arm, moth
ing had been heard concerning it.
Lieut.. Fearnside then read letters and
gave his authority for the statement
that the company could organize To-
cally under the National Rifle Asso-
citation with one rifle to each five
members; he read the application for
membership and the bylaws Of the
association, any member of which
could on deposit of S. secure high
power rifle from the government, the
rifle however to remain the property
of the government and subject to re-
call at any time.
1t was decided on motion of Fred
Bailey, that the Home Guards be
merged into the National Rifle AS
sociation, and on motion of Lieut..
Fearnside the name of the Guards
was changed to the Putnam County
Rifle Club. The initiation fee was
fixed at 81 with annual dues of like
amount, and the present officers of
the company were declared to be the
officers of the Rifle Club.
The following non-commissioned
officers were appointed: Second Ser
geant, Jas. Spencer; third, Fred E.
Bailey; fourth, Chas. Burt; fifth, Geo.
Selden; sixth, Aubrey E. Melton;
Quartermaster-se H war d
Rowton; color sergeant, Roy NJ. Coe;
surgeon, J. E. Goethe.
After the meeting the company en-
ioyed drill on Water street, and it
was an imposing sight to behold. 1t
was a company drill in command of
Capt. Points, and if you don't think
there is plenty Of the military spirit

COUNCIL. WILL ASK
STATE LEGISLATURE:
For Authority to Bond in
Sum Of $4,000 to Buy
CID Water Plant.

The city council held special
meeting on Tuesday night when the
proposed bill to be presented to the
Legislature authorizing the city to is
sue bonds in the sum of 100000 for
the purpose of acquiring the old Pa
latka water works, was up for dis
cussion.
The bill is a long one and some of
the members got weary listening to
the clerk read it. There are too many
legal corners in it for the lay mind
to turn without getting lost in the
woods. 1t contained many provis-
ions regarding the purity of the wa
ter and plans for its analysis, and
number of the councilmen thought
that these were unnecessary; that as
the water was wet, they were salts
fled; all that was needed in a bill is
the authority to spend 100000 for the
plant where onl y $4,000 was now au-
thorized.
The meeting adjourned to next
Tuesday night when an amended and
simpliied bill will be presented.
Of course it is hard to understand
how the council expects to get the
Old water plant for 100000, and it is
not likely that many of the members
do. Certainly the old company will
not sell for that amount. This was
made clear in a letter from Gen. Ell
bert Wheeler of Boston to the local
superintendent, Capt. John D. Points,
and which the latter received less
than two weeks ago. Gen. Wheeler
says:
"We wish you would make it
thoroughly clear to them (the
counciD that unless they have au-
thOrity to raise the amount last
stated by us-S75, ,000-it is en-
tirely useless to do any thing,
for we will not recommend our
people to sell at less"
Gen. Wheeler also says other things
in his letter that indicate his mind has
been thoroughly made up regarding
the price to be asked for the water
plant and the absolute usclessness of
the city trying to secure it for any
less sum.

go wild if couldn't have cigarettes.
n had almost given up hope of ever
quitting until one day I sent for a book
that told me what to do. After learn

Farmers Should
Sou Some Wheat:
Get Seed Early

It is the national duty OF every
farmer who can, to seed ten or fifteen
acres to wheat this fall in order to re-
lieve the wheat shortage.
Persons who need wheat for fall
seeding should secure it early. as the
supply is limited. A list df those who
have seed wheat for sale can be Sc
cured at the county agents office. The
county agent desires ITO secure the
name of any one in the county who has
seed wheat Of good quality for sale.
; The Turkey Red variety and the 4O4
wheat are recommended for Marshall
county and it's vicinity. The proper
time to seed fall wheat in this vicinity
is from Sept. 10 to 20, at the rate OF
about one bushel and three pecks per,
acre. Flowing should be started as
soon as possible, as the best whea.
yields are secured from we'll pre-
pared seed bed. Fall wheat may be
sown on plowed stubble land or on
corn land where the corn has been
harvested and shocked or used for
silage purposes.

COMMITTEE MEETS TO FoRMU-
LATE PRELIMINARY PLANS
FOR DINNER.
TO BE COMMUNITY AFFAIR
AND RoUSING FAREWELL
John 3. Nor.hcott Chosen Chairman Of
Committeeman Of $500 Already
Subscribed and Banks Delegated to
Receive Additional subscriptions
To Be For Boys Enlisted in County.

Plans for the big dinner which will
be served the boys of Marshall county
who are soon to be enlisted for the
national army, were perfected as far as
is possible at a meeting held Monday
night. No date was fixed for the din
ner, but as nearly as is possible to nix
it at the present time, it will be on
Tuesday, Sept. 4.
This is taken as the tentative date
from the announcementbyt the war de-
partment that the first increment of the
new selective army, 80 per cent, is to
be called Sept. 5. The second lncre-
ment of so per cent is to be summoned
Sept. 10, and the third. 80 per cent, on
Oct. 8. The remaining 10 per cent will
be specially assigned.
Make 1t Community Affair.
The dinner is to be a community az
fair. A few weeks ago Frank Ryder,
believing that some sort Of farewell
party should be given for the soldiers.
started out to secure a fund for that
purpose. At about the same time the

movement. It was realized, when the
plans became known, that 1t would be
needless to promote two farewell din
ners, so it was decided to make the al
fair strictly one of the community, in
which all would be interested. and to
which all might contribute if they so
desired.
Mr.. Ryder has secured pledges for
the dinner fund in the sum Of $500.
More money Is needed. Each bank In
the city has been furnished with sub
scription blanks, and any one who de-
sires may give to the fund at any
bank. Checks should be made payable
to JohnsB. Northcott, chairman.
The Committee.
The committee chosen to look after
the details Of the affair, in addition to
the chairman, is composed OF z. n.
Draper, w. C. McCarten, A. W. Carl
son, Frank Ryder, e. R. Lay, Ben Rob-
inson, B. C. Whitehill, and E. A. Fran
quemont.
The committee will Investigate the
orders Of movement, and after ascer-
tanning the date of leaving to GER
tainty, will plan accordingly. It has
been suggested that public escort be
given the boys on their trip to the sta
ton, and that an address be given prior
to their departure for the train. Such
plans however, must necessarily be
tentative until it is known for a GER
tainty when the first increment will be
summoned

Acid Not Only Foe to Tin.

The popular idea that only acid sub
stances attack tin is wrong. Fish, as
paragus beans. pumpkins and spin
ach are not acid, and yet their corro-
sion of tin is quite marked This
is probably due to amino compounds,
substances related to ammonia. In the
case of shrimpS the cans are OFTEN
eaten through in q comparatively snort
time. So alkaline is the methylamine
contained-in shrimps that workmen In
the canneries find the skin peeling of
their hands. Observation by some can
ners led to the discovery that II
shrimps were iced for a day before
canning, the corrosive action Of the
juices was greatly diminished. This is
now the universal practice. In addi-
ton the cans are lined with paper to
prevent the contact of the shrlmps
and the tin.
