CELEBRATION OF THE 4TH
IN THE GEM CITY

Arrangements for a mammoth 4th
of July celebration in Palatka are
rapidly maturing. Much enthusiasm
is being manifested by Putnam coun-
ty people. A fund of $500 has been
raised for distribution in prizes; the
committee has arranged for horse
racing, water sports, a baseball game
between Palatka and Hastings. The
Morning Post will have complete re-
turns of the Willard-Dempsey cham
pionship battle, and a series of inter-
esting events will be on the program
sc that there will be one or more
phases of entertainment going Oh
during the whole day. A grand ball
will be given during the evening,
music to be furnished by the DeLand
band, which will also furnish music
during the day. The Palatka people
wish it understood that there is a
standing invitation to the people of
Marion county to be their guests on

Some friend has paid our subscrip-
ton to the appeal to Reason" We
thank him, for we know he meant
as far as we are concerned. We read
the paper, however, and it is our
candid opinion that it should be de-
MED the privilege of the mails. 1t is
filled with propaganda, which if car
ried out would upset our government,
and we think the government is in
losing business when it acts as deliv
cry boy for it's enemies. We do not
believe that the Appeal to Reason is
published for any good will to the op-
pressed. We believe it is simply "a
rnoney-making proposition-that the
men who own it print and circulate it
in order that they may CLEAN coin
from the ignorant and prejudiced.
There is nothing of merit in the paper
no wit, no information-nothi
but an endless diatribe against the
Capitalists" and by capitalists is
meant not only the rich, but poor
men who are working hard, saving
money and investing it sensibly in
order to provide for their children
and their own old age. The appeal
to Envy" would be a better name for
it than the one it has. There are
great faults in our government, but
our long -established laws provide an
efficient and orderly manner of cor
recting every abuse. and sooner or
later each and every one of them wifi
be corrected. Some courageous men,
Der of Congress should introduce
bill excluding such papers as the
appeal to Reason" from the mails.
We who believe in and desire to up
hold our government can argue pro
and con about its faults and how to
remedy them, but those who desire to
destroy it are traitors and should be
treated accordingly.

The British may hang Admiral
Reuter-, who commanded the German

him to safety on board a British YES

Miami has organized one company
of the new national guard, and is
trying to raise another. We do not
expect the men to go into the guard
in any number for some little time.
But when the war WEAKNESS has worn
off, the charm of the service, which a
real man never gets rid of when he
has once worn the uniform, will draw
many back to the colors, and we will
have a better, stronger national
guard than ever before. This country
will be in no danger from any other
nation or combination of nations for
some years. But the men who have
served, who had to do so much work
and face so much danger because Am
erica went unprepared will not want
their sons to go thru a similar exper-
fence. They will insist on the coun-
try keeping itself in fair condition,
so if war is thrust upon it, it will not
have to spend so much blood and
treasure that might be spared by a
reasonable amount of preparedness.

Billions of dollars were wrung from
the toiling German people to build
their empires great fleet. And when
war came it was beaten in every fight
where its opponents had anything
like chance. It's submarines were
the only branch of it's service that had
any great effect. And they brought
America into the war and branded the
men of the German navy as pirates.
And now it is in the hands of it's en-
emies or at the bottom of the sea,
without single glorious, stand-up
fight to it's credit. 1t has been the
greatest failure ever recorded in his
tory.

wisely decided that mans home may

thing in trying to throw safeguards
around marriage. The said safe

people tying up with common law
marriages. Women and girls should
consider that common law marriage,

any, is sometimes difficult to prove.
The trouble is that girl who intends
to get married seldom considers any

The nuts, on the other hand, neither

those that fell into places favorable
to their preservation are today in ex-

COUNTRY MOT RIGHTLY NAMED
iceland by Mo Means the Barren
Waste Which AppeIIation Would
Seem to Imply.

Iceland suggests to many people a
land of glacial coldness populated by
fur-clad shivering natives, probably
Eskimos. The real Icelander wears
clothes no warmer than those needed
in Canada. His winters are usually
no more severe than those of Canada.
The Icelander is not an Eskimo. He
Is q descendant of the fair-haired Vik-
ings. Nothing excites an Icelander
more than to have some one pleasant
ly ask him if it is ever warm in Ice
land and if any flowers grow there.
That Iceland is so misunderstood is
entirely the fault of the Morse explor-
ers who landed on the island and felt
obliged to name it. AS it was a cold
day and the land was frozen beneath
a blanket of snow, they thoughtlessly
called it Iceland and departed hastily.
Had they first visited the island on
spring day, when the wind blew across
the broad plains, they might have felt
the vastness Of the place and with
equal carelessness called it Greatland.
The name Iceland was officially adopt
ed and instantly became the islands
hoodoo.
Summer in Iceland is warm, some
times hot. In June the sun pours
down upon the plains continuously
save for a few minutes at midnight.
Another unicelandic phase Of Iceland
are the hot springs which spout up
steaming water. 70 this hot water
supply the women carry their wash
Ing as matter of convenience.
Iceland is not land of luxuriant
vegetation or perfect climate. 1t is a
fairly prosperous little country that
struggles bravely against it's handi-
caps, not the least of which is the
worlds attitude of persistent misun-
derstanding.
