GOOD ROAD system
REQUISITE To ALL
POINTS IN COUNTY
One Essential Needed to
Initiate the Values of
Putnam

"Palatka is suffering from condi
tions which make her imports exceed
her exports" says Charles Burt,
member of the county commissioners
board. "eW are buying more than
we sell, which is death in the money
world to any country or home."'
AS means of overcoming this con-
dition Mr.. Burt adds:
"Our county should be more large
ly developed with farms and groves.
This cannot be done unless we have
a system of hard-surfaced roads lead
ing into every nook and corner of the
,Icounty. l would suggest something
Hike this:
"Palatka to Orange Springs; Pa
llatka to the line Of Alachua county;
Palatka to Melrose; Orange Springs
to Edgar; McMeekin to Melrose; In
terlachen to Grandin; Bardin to Har-
lem; Bardin to Bostwick; gravel
roads eighteen feet wide with sur
facing twelve inches thick. Then
roads from Bostwick to the st. Johns
river; San Mateo to Yelverton anC
Shell Bluff; Pomona to Welaka;
Crescent City to Georgetown, twelve
Inch shell roads nine feet wide. Also
from Rice creek to the Clay county
line, and from San aMteo to Dunn's
creek, there should be brick roads
sixteen feet wide"
Mr.. Burt realizes that the cost O.
this network.-ef highways would b.
expensive, but he would even add tt
this program a concrete bridge thir
tty feet wide across the st. Johns a
Palatka. He roughly estimates th'
cost of these improvements as below
$50 miles of road, shell and grave
at $600000
20 miles Of brick at $18,000-$360,
1000.
Concrete bridge over river, $3.50,
900.
"Such a system of roads. through
out Putnam county would deveo
our lands to such an extent, and in
vite newcomers to come in and SET
tile, that values would rapidly il
crease and the tax question would ;
, made easy" continues Mr. Burt g,
would give us money in excess of tt
actual needs for the support of OIL
4 public Institutions; the schools, won
, Ian's rest room, band stand, count
q fair, and large amount for II
h Iproper advertising of the county
the outside world. If we are goin
q to make Putnam county what
h should be, let us go at it right ar
. in a broad fashion; there is no u!
lin being small about what means {
much to the county and every sectiC
# of it. We could do all this by BON
4 ling the county as whole. We cou
give better wages to labor. "

Q success of our neighbors, forgettir

Side Lights ON Fashion
and Fancy
By Lucy Jeanne Price.

New York, December 27.-Artlti-
cial Christmas trees have become
quite a matter of course, and arti-
.ficial snow has long been popular
vogue on the stage. But snowflakes
made by the hand of man or improv-
ed machinery for real snow-coasting
purposes are still a novelty. That is
what one New York hostess promises
for a weekend party at her Long
Island home in the near future. Mrs.
Frank Henderson, known for her
sprightly and expensive entertaining,
has asked crowd down to Villa Ma
rina, her country home, with the
promise of sufficient snow for coast
ing down her hills. If the sky doesn't
do wha tit should in the way of send
ing the, snow, Mrs. Henderson prom
| ises that there shall be enough manu-
factured flakes to slip the sled run
ners along, at least.

that it was the first step in cru

than a gamble to try. being re-

Holiday travel in and out of New
York city was heavier this season
than it had been in any previous
year, according to railroad officials.
The demand for sleeping car accom-
modations necessitated the use of lao
extra Pullmans and the departure OF
80 extra trains on one railroad three
days before Christmas. The Christ
mas mails were also over 80 per cent
heavier than last year. Forty extra
mail cars left over one road on
Thursday before Christmas.

Those close to David Warfield say
that for twenty years he has been
working to get ready to play Shylock
as he played the part at the opening
performance the other night of Da-
vid Belasco's new production of "The
Merchant of Venice" Well, it was
worth the twenty years. That is the
general verdic> of the audience. The
play is splendidly cast and the set
tings and costuming made every one
of the twelve scenes a magnificent
spectacle. But above everyone and
everything towers Warfield as a
keenly intellectual Shylock, man
of worth and honor among his owr
people, but embittered by the male.

tian. 1t is undoubtedly this great
actors masterpiece.

HOME WATER SYSTEM SHOULD
4. COME FIRST ,aE.~ i54a@Z

IF for lack Of funds only one mod.
ern improvement can be placed in
home, that Improvement should be
running water,'' says E. A. Stewart
Of the agricultural engineering division,
University Of Minnesota.
4. "a water system with sewage dis
posal, " he says, twill do more to make
for the good health Of the family than
any other one. thing that can be done. )"
Professor Stewart also emphasizes
the labor saving advantages of an in
door water supply. He finds that the
average housewife who carries water
from a well and soft water from a rain
barrel takes more than / 100000 steps
yearly and uses 20 days of union time
| to do it.. Most Of the water has to be
carried back outdoors, adding probably
| 10 days more Of union time in the
course Of a year.
Why sentence yourself to 80 days
hard labor every year carrying wa.
Eter?"i' he's asks. Pumping and carry
1 ing water wears out more women than
any other work they do. -. Xiii +.
