Miss Doriss Wingrove, in the part of

CAMPAIGN TO BE PUT ON
HERE TO EXTERMINTE RATS

If you think there are no rats in
Palatka or a comparatively small
number, Mrs. B. M. Staples and Miss
A. M. Wright are here to convince
you to the contrary. Mrs. Staples
said this morning that statistics prove
that atown of the size of Palatka
had not less than 10000 rats. This
is two to every resident of Palatka.
Starting rodent determination
drive, beginning tomorrow, these two
ladies who have letters of commenda-
ton from all parts of the United
States, will offer plans to all citizens
of Palatka, in an organized move
ment that has received general ap-
probation. Tampa, Key West, Or
lando, Jacksonville and other cities of
the State have welcomed the advent
of these two workers.
The United States Department of
Health has been quoted as saying that
it costs $1.S2 per year TO feed a rat.
On fish basis Palatka is wasting at
least $25JO00.OO per year. There is
no time like the present to start this
with its consequent saving,
it is claimed.
Mrs. Staples and Mss Wright seek
the cooperation of all Palatka citizens.

Rural Districts
to Ask Removal
of Demonstrators

1t developed at the meeting of the
county commissioners yesterday that
petition will be presented at the
next meeting of tn aboard asking
for the removal of the county agri-
cultural agent, the county home
demonstration agent and the county
school attendance officer. These po-
sitions are very capahly filled by
Mr.. Armstrong, Miss Sipprell and
Miss Bard.
The matter was discussed last
night at a meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce and today at the meet
ing of the Rotary club and it was
decided to present counter petition
to the commissioners. 1t was pointed
out that the commissioners have no
option in the matter of the school
attendance officer, as such a position
is created by law. 1t was also point
ed out that the petition of the rural
districts that the money saved from
the salaries of these officials be ap-
piled to good roads is foolish, as, if
they are dispensed with, the money
cannot be applied to roads.
The commissioners deferred final
inspection of the Rodman road pend
ing the settlement of a dispute as
to extra charges made by the con-
tractor whose estimates for freight
on gravel were upset by the change
in classification the railroad made
when it hauled the clay from Inter
lachen. The amount in dispute is
about $1,000. Many bills presented
for payment were held up, as taxes
have not been coming in sufficiently
fast to meet them.
= Commissioner Burt, presiding in
the absence of Chairman Glynn, re-
ported that an investigation of the
Kangaroo court had been made and
that the prisoner alleged to have been
beaten by negro convicts had stated
he was willing victim of the court,
as he wanted to see what it was like.
He was from Michigan.
A question arose as to the payment
of surplus fees from the sheriff's Of
flee, and the commissioners found
that they had no control over the ex-
penses of the office allowed by law.

A report Of progress made thus
far by the special roads committee
occupied a considerable portion of
the meeting, indicating that the
committee has done some very thor
ough work, and will be able, in a
very short time, to submit concrete
plan on which the taxpayers Of the
county will be asked to vote.
One of the chief stumbling blocks
in the way of the bond issue is the
provision for a new bridge across the
St. Johns. The committee has in
mind the financing of this portion of
the general scheme independent of
any bond issue. Several banks and
finacial institutions have been COM
with as to their interest
in such a propositions but thus far
the answers have not been satisfac-

PLAYERS Of OLD
NOT So BOLD ON
SALARY GRABS
(By Associated Press)

New York, March George
Wright, star shortstop of the Cincin-
natl Red Stockings, played through
out the entire season of 1869 for a
salary of $1,000. The Red Stockings
played fifty-seven games that year,
of which they won fifty-six and tied
one, a record which has never been
duplicated. Wright was the highest
paid member of the team.
Babe Ruth. home run hitter extra
ordinary, signed on Sunday con-
tract with the New York American
league club which will net him ap-
proximately $4,000. during the COM
ing season. The contract is for three
years with renewal option for two
seasons additional. If continued for
the full five years George Herman
Ruth will receive total of not less
than $375,O00.
These figures give an idea of the
development of professional base
ball in this country during the past
fifty years. They also are the cause
of frequent conferences behind clos
ed doors in which baseball magnates
argue the question as to whether
they are building a salary Franken-
stein which will in time turn and de-
stroy what has been in the past a
reasonably profitable business. Big
league baseball club owners will not
discuss publicly this subject except
in the most abstract way. 1t is the
consensus of opinion as expressed by
the magnates, however, that the sit
uation is serious.
1t is estimated that the salary
lists of the sixteen clubs of the two
major leagues will appreciate more
than 100000 this season. The
maximum figures for any one club
are placed at about $225,OOO and the
minimum at a trifle over 100000.
To this expense must be added
ground rent, travel charges, local,
state and federal taxes ;interest on
mortgages, officers and clerical sal
aries and minor charges such as ad-
vertising, ticket printing and sup
plies.
A study of baseball salaries over
period of the past thirty to forty
years shows the steady increase
which has developed from year to
year. In the early seventies $1,000
was top notch figure for a star
player. At the beginning of 1900
players of similar calibre We're re-
ceiving from $4,000 to $4,000 a sea-
son.
A few years later the famous Chi
cago Nationals infield drew the fol-
lowing figures:
Frank Chance $4,000, Johnny
Evers 5000, Joe Tinker $500, and
$4,000.
About the same time Pittsburg
was paying Honus Wagner $4,000
and Tommy Leach $4,000. The Ath-
Ietics' famous infield, consisting of
Eddie Collins, Frank Baker, Stuffy
McInnis and Barry, drew an annual
total of $17,500, of which Collins
collected close to a third.
Some twenty years ago the Ma
,ional league had salary limit of So.
Manager McGraw, of the ew York
Giants, recently signed a five-year
contract at figures said to be $780,
100 season. Two players purehas-
d by his club within the past few
months cost $125,0O0, for it was re-
'orted that Heinie Groh came from
'incinnati for $4,000 and Charles
)'Connen from the Pacific Coast
eague q year hence at $75,0$0. i
