CFATTY NEWS OF PALATKA SCHOOLS
CLEANED FROM PRATTLER COLUMNS

The News believes that everyone
in Palatka, whether having child
in school or not, is interested in the
happenings at the Mellon school and
there is no better mirror to the dali
ly life among boys and girls enjoying
the golden hours of youth than that
held up by themselves. For this
reason we will publish from day to
day extracts from The Prattler, the
school paper, with the consent and
approval of the editorial staff. The
following appeared in the last issue:
Seniors Supreme
"What's the matter with the Sem
iors that they go around school
grinning so broadly?" This was ut
tered by a Junior the week preced-
ing Armistice Day and now we, the
Seniors of Putnam High are willing
to tell you that we grinned because
we were happy and all were happy
because we were together, and all
were together because we were all
working for the same cause, and we
were all working for the same cause
Just because we wanted to show you
what kind of stuff we're made of, the
stuff that makes us happy when we
are working.
The week we spent preparing for
Armistice Day is undoubtedly stamp
ed on sixteen young minds, never to
be erased. Every afternoon and
night sixteen of us congregated at
Mrs. Reeds or Miss Estelle's house
to cut up-yes we cut 1872 packages
of paper into strips. 1t was surpris-
ing how our boys could sew. They
never used a thread more than five
yards long, and instead of using
thimbles they stepped on the needles
and then forced them thru. Ere
quently they were heard to say
HAS this eye got a needle?" or
"This needle has a hole in it," or
Palatka daily news. [volume] (Palatka, Fla.) 1919-1994, 1921-11-28

"If this needle goes in wrong, can
back it out?" and "This thimble is
all right but the needle won't go
thru it" and, "This thread would a
good fishing line only I'd be afraid
to tackle it." But the climax was
reached when Lawson declared that
he'd ruffled paper so much he'd be
able to make his Easter dress little
fancier this year.
One night especially did we enjoy
these wit COMMITS when Miss Birdie
Reed made us me candy so that we
might keep up with Pills jaws and
chewing gum. Hurrah for Miss
Reed and the cfdy, too.
Miss Potter Try kindly allowed US
to keep the oEers we made in her
room. But we had more than she
realized and TIL next morning when
she awoke am4g them she rubbed
her eyes and hched herself to see
if she were ded or married. All of
that day "les fhrs" had their effect

CHRISTMAS LETTERS, AND
CARDS OF UNUSUAL SIZES

The public is urged to desi5t from
using small-size cards and envelopes
which are common at Christmas
time. The postal department hopes
the stationers will not stock up on
these small sizes. An untold amount
of time is used cancelling such mail
by hand, as it will not pass through
the cancelling machines, which are
built to cancel the proper sizes of
envelopes at the maximum rate of
$4,000 an hour.
The hand stamping not only caus-
es delay to the small size cards and
envelopes but also delays the other
mail which follows.
In this connection the department
appeals to the women especially to
avoid stylish forms of handwriting,
"debutant stuff" as one postal
worker calls it, and use instead
plain if not so pretty handwriting.

GREAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE
Cure Said to Be Assured for the
Worlds Greatest Scouroe, the
Plague Of Leprosy.

The news from Hawaii indicates
that science las al last found the sure
and systematic way to the cure of this
worlds most appalling disease. OF the
l42 former leperS who have been pa
rolled from the Kalibi hospital in the
last two years none has been sent
back.
1t is peculiar that the plague which
has troubled the world at least sixty
centuries. and probably much longer
should eventually be controlled by one
of the oldest remedies ever used for
It. To modern science is due the dis
covery of the bacillus of leprosy, but
ITS cure is accomplished with refined
,haulmOOgra oil, the essence of an In.
dian plum, which has been used by
lepers in the East for centuries
Science has improved on native prac
tice not only in the oil but in its appli
cation.
To world which has 100000 lep-
ers the success of the doctors at
Kalili is heartening. China, when bet
ter days come, can set abOut the cure
of her 100000 stricken. India has
100000 lepers, Japan 10000. And the
United States has had big leper prob
lem which the developments in Hawaii
should soon solve. While the cases Of
leprosy in the continental United
States are few-p"rhaps not 30ae-we
have thousands of fepers in our island
possessions, particularly the Philip
pines. Now that the way is clear our
medical service can 20 ahead there as
1t has proceeded in Hawaii.

BIRTHDAY PARTY

A most pleasant occasion was that
celebrating the birthday of Mrs. C.
Crawford at the home of her daugh-
ter Mrs. Geo. w. Brown on south
Lee street Friday afternoon. Mrs.
Brown was assisted in entertaining
by Mesdames ]. A. Parrott, R. G.
Shannonhouse. and c. F. Shewmake.
At 800 o'clock Mrs. Parrott called
to take Mrs. Crawford and Mrs.
E: M. Brown for a drive. During
the absence of the ladies, potted plants
and baskets of cut flowers were used
to make festive the entir lower
floor of the lovely home, and at the
hour of four the guests began to ar
rive. AT 4:30 when Mrs. Parrott ar
rived with Mrs. Brown and Mrs.
Crawford it was to find many friends
assembled to make happy this day.
Sandwiches and tea were served as
in the days when those present were
younger, and many pleasant events
of by gone days were discussed around
the attractive tea tables on which
dainty souvenir baskets filled with
candies. Later in the afternoon de-
licious cream and cake was served
Each guest wrote her name. age,
and birth State in dainty memory
book to be given to Mrs. Crawford
During the afternoon Mrs. Geo. w.
Brown took a picture of the ladies,
which is to be added to the memory
book.
The merry laughter and jests of
those present proved conc1usivey that
there is wealth of fun and enjoyment
when the hair once gold or brown is
turned to silver. and that one is just
as old as she feels
If this is true the memory book
must show an average of just "sweet
sixteen" Many dainty gifts were
received by Mrs. f. NJ. Brown and
Mrs Crawford as tokens of love and
esteem. Those present were:
