.PALATkA is FREE
OF AUTO THIEVES

Especially fortunate have been the
owners Of automobiles in Palatka SO
far as thefts of cars is concerned, for
each night there is not to be found
one street in the city free from cars
parked all night. Rarely, possibly
never, are any of them protected
from robbery by lock, chain, or
even d clothes rope. Long rows of
cars are drawn up alongside the curb
ing, and there they remain until the
morning sun kisses the dew from
them. And when an owner looks for
his car the next morning he is sure
to find it precisely where he left it.
The continued absence of the car
thief from FalatEa has so functioned
as to lead all owners into the web Of
misjudgment There may come a day
some time when the mysterious dis
appearance of a whole brood of cars
during the night hours will awaken
owners to the fact that a garage
lends an element of safety which is
NEST economical. 1t is the hope that
such a time is still afar off; yet it
may be tonight. When it does come
there will be a mad scramble for
stalls in some Of the larger garages
or there will be many built on the
home premises.

HUGE PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS

Chicago, Nov. ia photograph
SO feet long and 10 feet high, one of
the largest ever made, has been COM
pleted by DR.. Frank M. Woodruff, Gu
rator of the Chicago Academy of
Sciences, in Lincoln park.
1t shows a panorama Of the Lake
Michigan shore at Miller beach, near
Gary, the famous Indiana sand dunes,
the sluggish Grand Calumet river,
and the swamps and swale stretching
around the eastern and southeastern
environs of Chicago. The photograph
is tinted in natural colors.
The picture is one of four immense
panorama photographs which, when
all are complete, will form the back
grounds of exhibits showing the
birds, animals, reptiles, trees and
flowers common now or in earlier
days in the Chicago region.

Once more is the press Of the state

long decades he has been at the desk.
Several years ago he was forced to

his salutatory Bob Davis says;
Il shall try to write along pro-

shall strive to write kindly of my

in what promises to be fine game,

TEN MILLS AND
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

That the constitutional amendment
which will allow all special school
districts to fix their own individual
levy carried so strongly in all pOr-
lions of the state has been learned
with great satisfaction at every point.
"Plenty of money now for schools"
some newspapers have shouted in
glee.
But the people should remember
that there is much to be done in the
many needed districts before there
will be money in any excess ready
for the schools to use. The vote
cast at the last election was merely
an indication of what the people sroe-
ly wanted; but there can for the pres
ent be no money appropriated upon
the mere strength that the amend
ment carried.
The same strict economy in school
matters which has been used will
have to be continued for some time.
Legally. no school board can borrow
upon its anticipations, even though
such practices have been so long il
legally carried through. The various
school boards throughout the state
have realized that actions have taken
place which legally could have placed
nearly every member of such boards
in the penitentiary; but in cases of
necessity the board tackled the point
Of least resistance, acting upon the
principle that "the end justifies the
means"

CARD OF THANKS

Our deepest thanks are returned
for the many kindnesses and the sin
cere sympathy extended to us from
all the people of Palatka over our re-
cent bereavement. Nothing wholly
allays grief at such moments, but the
universal sympathy rendered us went
far towards calming our hearts
which were crushed with the sad
blow.-Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Currie.

sition which fell to them by legisla-
tive actions long years ago. At the
same time there is great acclaim
that the people considered the cause
of education 50 highly that they are
willing to add an extra burden to
themselves. The schools will have a
sufficiency of funds when once the
amendment shall be operative; at
the present time much economy will
have to be applied.

SUCCESS is WAITING
JUST ROUND THE CORNER

Success is the happy elimination
of fixed plan of something better.
1t is the stimulant Of villages, the
incentive of cities, the goal for coun-
ties, the contemplation of states.
Just around the corner in Palatka
Miss Opportunity is waiting to be
embraced when the conditions are
ripe.
In plain sight may be noticed those
who stand ready to criticise and,
sometimes, condemn. Stolid as is the
Sphinx, yet far more laxative, each
is ready to oppose any innovation
which may work for the public good;
happy in a way because he can con-
tinue repeating: We've managed to
get along some years without it, so
what's the use?"
Let us get around the corner and
see Miss Opportunity. 1t may take a
bit of a struggle to slip from the
beaten ruts and make the turn-but
it is only the things gained by real
work and persistence that are fully
appreciated. Once the turn is made
there is easier sailing. Progress is
near kin to Miss Opportunity, and
Success is their chaperon.
What is the matter with getting
acquainted and letting the chaperon
understand that we mean business e?
Why follow the time-worn path that
leads to ease and apathy, when it is
far more delightful to take on new
life and learn to function as we
should by stepping around the cor
ner? Why dress a city in sombre
shades of ancient creation when it is
possible to be greatly blessed with
every blooming grace?"
Let's tell of the good things to be
found in PaIatka and then go out and
