ing, crowd the minds of forward
looking business men and all plair
citizens of an advancing common
wealth a this season. Palatka ha.
so many things to do to keep in the
front ranks of our states progress
that the "cub reporter" is collecting
ideas of what every loyal either
should and what many will do.
Herb Wilson says he wants a few
more neighbors making smoke along
the st. Johns, and Frank Wagner
says, r"Me too, and let 'em make a
commodity that will employ many
men," Bill Merriam says the Cham
Der of Commerce feels that way,
and hopes few more people will
help with thoughts on who to invite
here, and then work, not talk, to get
them. Ernest Rowton says he wants
good business men here so they can
joni the Rotary, and Herman Lecks'
of Kiwanis, says, eve hope if XII
wants, says, owe hope if Kiwanis
don't get 'em, that Rotary does"
John. Murphy says, Don't quote
me, but if / don't bring the big share
of the newcomers to Palatka in the
next six months, someone else will
SO why worry" Fred Merrill says,
sim still counciling, but real estate
and insurance make it possible.
Count me in" ]. L. Sheppard says
he is just getting his wind for a
start in Putnam's real estate activ-
tiles, but he wouldn't trade places
with the Miami Mammoths." No
wonde reveryone is investigating
Palatka and Putnam.
Harry Montmollin says the boat
line is overloaded and the extra YES
sci seems assured, "I'm not saying
much, but when there is work to do
1 never was too busy to help" Sam
Comick says he hopes someone
moves the capital after the retailers
are organized, and John Tilghman
says, "Get 'em in behind the Cham
Der of Commerce"
Howell Davis says he has had his
share of civic work, and wants to
look on, but he was champing on
the bit, ready to go, when he said it.
Howard Gardner said 1922 would sur
pass any year for Selden millwork,
and C. A. Hedger added, THAT goes
for our garages, and Florida isn't
half awake to what can be done
here"
Ed Terrell and Charley Hudson
were a unit on the commercial adj
vantages of the st. Johns river, and
as We left them they were arguing
what value the midwest would put
on such stream. H. 0. Hamm was
hurrying toward East Palatka figur-
ing on the potato crop, and felt his
estimate of Palatka's early and
great future was too optimistic to
repeat. Arthur Selle couldn't stop
his Ford when hailed, but he said,
'I'm here; that shows what | think"
Frank Bruce and the Mullis brothers
were telling each other about the adj
vantages of their locations and the
certainty of Palatka's prosperity, so
we let them alone.
Morris Cochrane said Fred did all
his talking, and Fred said, "Tell me
what the other fellows said, so | can
show how low their estimates of our
future are" DR.. L. W. Warren was
glad we were getting the views, and
enthusiastically remarked, That's
fine. We only want better freight
rates to permit quick growth and de-
yelopment."
BELL" Spearman opined it was
fluff" to leave a town after he was
made to like it, and he hoped the fish
he knew would wait for his return.

Mrs. Emma Higgins
Died at Her Home
Christmas Morning

Mrs. Emma c. Higgins, beloved
wife of T. R. Higgins, died at 8
o'clock Sunday morning at the fam
lily home in the Hart block. Mrs.
Higgins had been seriously ill for
more tina height months and, while
her death was not unexpected, it
came as a shock to the family and
her friends. For a few months past
she appeared to be making prograss
alyzing powers of Palatka citizens.
l do not see how they could think
otherwise, but believing alone does
not produce results. Other Florida
communities are confident of their
future, too, and undoubtedly the
whole state is due for a prosperity

that the inherent worth of the state

after what is wanted, is the one that
will get the best. 1t does not mat

new industry or more farmers, if
they do not know it. 1t is the CEN

newcomer, attractively telling heir

vantages, that gets them. Of course,
we could not do this without conf
dence in the superlativeness of Pa
latka and Putnam county, but we
must go after and not wait for what
we want to come to- us. The soon

Boy Scouts of Amerlca)
VETERAN SCOUTS ORGANIZING

Countrywide interest is being
aroused in the effort to register all
1oy scouts and scout workers, eligible
for membership, in the Veteran Scout
association. This Is new develop"
mept which promises to be of great
significance in scouting. Membership
In this association is open to all nrst'
class scouts and to all scout officials
Of total of five years service. Here"
tofore the organization of this assocl-
alton has been rather loose, but OF
late there has been movement, which
is now rapidly spreading, to organize
the veteran scouts of each city INFO
q corps. 1t is estimated that nearly
10000 men and older boys are eligible.
The Veteran Scout Corps OF Phli-
adelphia is now, perhaps, the most
fully developed Of any. Horace T.
Kern, assistant scout executive, de-
scribes it in part as follows;
"The local members of the veteran
Scout association have ORGANIZED
themselves into corps which hoias
regular sessions twice a year. AL
each of these sessions some entertain
ment feature is provided, or program
of reminiscence besides these regular
sessions. An interesting feature oil
the organization of the corps Is the
class plan by which are listed IN the
same group all who became veterans
the same year; for instance, we nave
the classes of 1915, 1916, etc. Each
one of these classes is organized WIN
n chairman. and has agreed to under
take some service to scouting in gen.
aral. The corps, as whole, mas OIL
fered its service to aid new scout
masters or to act temporarily TOT
tcoutmasters who may be called. away
from their troops"
Many other councils have organ
lied. or are planning to 60 so along
these lines. This gives nadonal plan
for organizing which will retain the IN
terest of the older boys. TINS IS
something the need for which has
long been felt and which promises
to do much to strengthen the effective
ness of scouting, Plans are now being
considered for the standardization or
the local veteran scout corps, and FOR
their definite registration at the ma
.ional scout office.

CHAPTER xVI-continued.


The most important of developments
was that their tribal preserver was
brought from distance. From their
community to the northeast, in
ravine of the Gughal, other hunters
came, escortlng this treasure, the doc
tor himself. He was an old shell of
man, with curling nails and matted
hair and store of wisdom. Nothing
OF powwow about his methods. He
crouched close to the rugs in which
Helen was wrapped She glanced up
questioningly at Con, and he nodded,
So she trusted. The ancient preserver
drew blackened hand across her
breast, held her temples between his
palms, shifted thrice, arose, and walk
ed away. 1t was matter of hours be
fore he returned with small branch
tom from bush. Fansa was COM
manded TO brew tea, while the doc
tor rearranged the rugs about the
princess more to his liking. All other
affairs between the caravan and the
natives could wait.
"How is it now?" Con asked of her.
1T is fiery in here" she replied,
touching her fingers to her head, but
! think my soul is better There is
more peace now"
Al nearly as he thought advisable,
Con told her how deep was his admi-
ration; and then, In the moist cool
evening, ne walked abroad upon the
slopes. alone. He tramped far under
the starry films of night, and gave his
than1s to the source Of their light.
Anxiety, triumph, humility, and the
total sweetness of life were oddly min
gled In hin thoughts. One thing was
final. he Had reached the first impor
tant goal Of humanity, the mate, and
in this light he s8w his 'oWn days as
a necessary path 1t was all coherent
now Even the tortured groupings of
his father. all had an answer. Con
had not wasted his heritage.
The bird-claw doctor remained
through the night, lowering between
the watch-flre and Helen's tent. He
made it known that the princess must
not be taken away for many days. He
intimated to Con that her peril was
only just less terrible than his own
professional skill. The white man
found another piece of gold for the
blacEened fingers, and learned that 1t
was now but flve-days' journey to
reach the Mld-Asian railroad, further
north.

MR.. HARDING ENDORSES SCOUTS

President-elect Warren G. Harding
in q letter addressed to Lieut.. COZ.
Theodore Roosevelt, member of the
executive board Of the Boy Scouts OF
America, gives his enthusiastic en-
dorsement of the boy scout movement
and expresses the wish that every boy
in America might be in the organlza-
ton. This is Mr.. Harding's letter:
az am with the scout movement
heart and soul 1t is an organization
teaching of spirit Of service and honor
which we must always have In our
citizenship. 1t is a school OF our
democracy because in 1t standing Is
won only by taking the equal oppor-
tunity given all individuals to snow
their own merit, capacity ard worth.
I wish every boy in our America couid
have the advantage and the honor OF
being in the boy scout organization
and of learning therein that co-opera-
tion. Justice. the customs of fair play
and the gentleness Of good manner,
make for peace and growth as distin-
quished from the results Of disorgani-
cation and -Iselfshness and cowardlce
which lead to contentious and con-
fiict."
When Mr.. Harding enters the White
House he will automatically become
honorary president of the Boy Scouts
of America, as has each president
since the organization. Retiring pres
idents become honorary vice sresi-
dents of the boy scouts. In addition
to being an honorary vice president,
President Roosevelt was CHIEF scout
citizen at the time of his death.
