Kiwanians Ready
for Pilgrimage
to Jacksonville

Palatka Kiwanians are planning
for a big trip tomorrow when they
go to Jacksonville to participate in a
luncheon which will be staged in the
middle of the St. Johns river. The
local club will leave here by auto
during the morning and return in the
afternoon. The following from to-
DAYS Times Union tells of the prep
arations that have been made to greet
the Palatkans:
"Kiwanians, both local and indi-
gent to Palatka, the latter being
guests of the Jacksonville club, will
gather tomorrow at "Peck's' for the
weekly luncheon Of the home club. An
entertainment program of unusual
proportion has been arranged and
the features of the floating palace
already well known to Jacksonville
people, will be thrown open to the en-,
tire party.
Richard K Peck, manager of the
pavilion, said yesterday that plans
for the entertainment Of the Kiwan'
ians have been made on an elaborate
scale, this being the first club lunch,
con to be served aboard the floating
dancing pavilion and palm garden.
Local committees Of the Kiwanis
club planning features Of the enter
tainment for the Palatka club, prom
Use the visitors a day of activity
Just what the entertainment program
| includes is not being made public
However, those Kiwanians Sin on the
know say it will be a day long re-
membered by the Palatkans.
"The pavilion will be towed to the
foot Of Laura street, where it will bt
boarded by the combined party, later
being moved into the stream. Elab

been made and the palm garden viii

PALS HAVE HARD
SERIES AHEAD IN !
LAKE CITY PARK

With St. Augustine out of the rum
ming the Pals begin now to dispose OF
other aspiring ball clubs in the state,
and will begin tomorrow with the
strong Lake City club which has been
assembled by Ted Easterly, the old
national league star catcher. The
Pals will play three games with the
Lake City club, and eyes of the state
are upon the contest.
In addition to Easterly, who will do
the catching for Lake City, that club
has Henry Hoke, pitcher, Chaplin, Cha
pin shortstop, Nedly second base,
Brown pitcher, Fisher pitcher, Har-
rigan third base, Capo, Reidy and
Redding in the outfeld. One of the
pitchers will probably cover first base
Henry Hoke was seen here last year
with the Fort Myers club, and al
though he lost his game, he impressed
local fans as being a high class man
poor support contributing to his de-
feat. Brown is an old Tampa pitcher
with Ids of speed, just the stuff the
Pals Ii ke. Little is known of Fisher
here. Shapin is the star shortstor
from Jacksonville, and other players
on the Lake City club have been play
ing with semi-pro teams in south Geo
rgia aPd Florida.
Some of the local fans have beer
wishing that Lake City would capture
the series so that interest, which seem
ed to be tagging when no club coulC
be secured to afford a hard game
be revived. If an old head like East
erly doesn't give the locals run fol
their money we are mistaken in thu
genus. If the Pals win we feel SURE
it will be on their superior attack, 70.
few clubs boast as hard hitting. aggre
cation as has been assembled here
Hoke will be up against an entirel.
different proposition when he face
the local club this year than when h
faced it last year and will have t.
pitch TO five left hand hitters.
Following the series at Lake Cit,
Easterly's crew will come here for
series of games and all next week tn
fans will have a feast.

Attorney Not to
Occur Tonight

Naming of a city attorney by the
new council has again been deferred
and will not come up at tonight's NEE
ting, it is understood. There are two
applicants for the position, Hilburn q
Merryday, who have served the city
for number of years, and Thomas b.
Dowda. In their application for re-
appointment Messrs. Hilburn & Mer-
ryday specified that they would again
serve the city, but at an increase In
salary, setting the figure at 500 per
month. No salary was fixed by Mr..
Dowda.
The delay in selecting an officer IS
due to requests from the taxation
committee, which is planning to have

NEARLY 100000
WATERMELONS IN FLORIDA

The commercial area of watermel.
ons in Florida this year is estimated
by the department of agriculture at
35,400 acres as compared with 1890
acres harvested in 1921. The indi-
Gated yield per acre based on the con-
dition of the crop on May l is 800
melons reported for 1921, from which
is forecast 12,744 cars of 1000 mel
ons each, or nearly 100000 water
melons, as compared with the produc-
ton of SIG cars of 1000 melons
each in 1921. Production, expressed
in car lots, usually exceeds the car

HoNoR1NG ERICSSON.

Thursday, March 3, the sixtieth anniversary OF
the naval engagement between the Monitor and the
Merrimac will be celebrated by exercises in honor
Of John Ericsson designer OF the Union vessel and
his partner. Cornelius H. Delamater Tablets will
be unveiled at four places where the great inventor
worked. Ericsson's memory will also be honored on
the same day in his native land Sweden where ap-
propriate exercises will be held by the Associated
Swedish Engineers with members Of the Swedish
royal family and American diplomatic representa-
tives participating.
The battle between the Monitor and the Merri-
of the most dramatic incidents in
American history. Who is not thrilled on reading
a description of the fight that bright Sunday morn
ing between the strange new craft, contemptuously
called by the Confederates cheese box on a raft
and its much larger opponent
With that engagement there passed away as
historian says, "the traditional beauty and
nance of the old service" With the coming
of the Monitor and the Merrimac Americas first
armored vessels, the oak-rbbed and white winged
navies whose dominion had been so long and pic
turesque had to give way to steel and steam.
While Ercsson's principal claim to fame appar-
emily rests his connection with the Monitor his
other scientific achievements should not be forgot
ten. He invented system of artificial draft for
railroad locomotives. He invented screw-propel-
Ter system for navigation He constructed the first
steam fire engine ever seen in the United States
Other things, also, he did which will be of service
to mankind for many years yet to come.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
CAPPER, ABLE BLOC HEAD.

(From the New York Evening Post)
Half way through his first term, Senator Capper
of Kansas, becomes chairman of the most pow
erful organization in congress, the agricultural
bloc. Let the news be broken gently to upholders
Of the tradition that senators should spend their
their elders. Even the veterans of the senate how
ever, bring against Capper no charge of push
ing himself forward. He has shown no desire for
the limelight and has displayed little of the
supposed Kansas breeZiness il he hailed from
Connecticut. But behind his low voice and his
quiet manner lies engaging and forceful per-
sonaty which has rapidly brought him to the
front in of the most conservative legislative
bodies in the world. The regard in which he is
held strikingly demonstrated by the fact that
he had competitor for the honor and the re-
sponsiby of succeeding Senator Kenyon as head
of the agricultural bloc. The post is his by COM
mon consent.
1t is not strictly accurate to say that Senator
Capper represents the farmer at Washington. He
Is the farmer. II you want to know how the far
mer is feeling at any particular moment, simply
put your finger Cappers pulse He does not
have to read lot of farm journals in order to
keep in touch with the farmer. He instinctively
takes the farmers attitude. And yet Senator Cap
per is not farmer. He is a newspaper man. He
graduated into publishing. If he tell you off
hand how many newspapers and magazines he
runs he must have wonderful memory. Politics
exhibit few stranger developments than that of
wealthy publisher being chosen chairman of the
agricultural bloc. But this only proves how mis-
primarily a wealthy publisher is impossible
Primarily he Is just Arthur Capper He might re-
sent tn application to him of the term ''hard
boiled" but anybody who hopes to find him plant
where the farmers interests are concerned is in
for shock.

YAP TREATY RATIFICATION.

The treaty with reference to the Island of Yap
which was ratified by the senate directly concerns

After the war the League of Nations Council
gave Yap to Japan to administer under g. "man-
date" 1t had previously been used by the Ger
mans as cable station. President Wilson asserted
he had made reservation that the island either be
allotted to our country be internatonalized for
the free use of ALL but the allies say there was no
record of such stipulation Anyway, the United
States could not concede the right of the others to
dispose in this summary fashion OF strategic
island in which we had great an interest as they

this to Japan and the European powers soon after
he assumed office. insisting that no postwar set
Elements were valid without our consent
Now the zap treaty upholds Americas conten-
tion. 1t amply safeguards interests It accords
us complete equality tf cable and wireless facili-
ties. The island is not to be fortified. Our right
to maintain our cable and radio stations on
Yap is reasserted but agree to suspend that
right SO long as Japan maintains adequate facilities
Our citizens have the rights OF residence as

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
MAPLE WAN.
BY Howard B. Garis

One day, as Uncle Wiggily was
topping along under the rees not
far from his hollow stump bunga-
low, a splash Gf something wet fell
on the pink, twinllin.y nose Of the
rabbit gentleman.
Dear mel" exclaimed the bunny.
1.-THE April showers are beginning
l%.her early this yaar--in March. /.
] haven't my umbrella"
The wet drop ran down into the
bunny's mouth, and he had a taste
of something sweet on his tongue.
That's funny!" he said. "Sugary
rain! Something new"
But as he stepped cut from be-
meath the tree no drops fell on him,
and he began to ,hink better of GO
ing back to his h l,ov stump bun
galow to get his umbrella.
Perhaps this swee, rain doesn't
fall all over" thought Mr.. Long
ears. He stepped beneath the tree
again, and, once more, some sweet
drops fell on him. Then, as he
looked up, he saw what was hap
pening.
From the broken END of a tree
branch some drops were dripping
and catching one in his paw, I'm
Gle Wiggily tasted it.
Maple sugar." he exclaimed in
delight. "Or, IL it isn't exactly
maple sugar I can soon make it in
to that by boiling the sap. The
sweet, sugary sap juice is beginning
to drip from the maple trees! Hur-
ray! I'm going to have a maple
sugar party!"
Uncle Wiggily caught few more
of the sweet drops before hopping
away. The wind had broken off
branch of the maple tree and from
this broken end the sap was drip
ping, as you may often have seen
it at this season.
Spring is on the way!" laughed
the bunny. 1.-THE sap in the trees
wouldn't flow and drip If spring
weren't coming. Now for good
times, even If we should have a
little more snow"
Uncle Wiggily could hardly keep
his hat on his head, he was so ex-
cited, as he hoped back to his hol-
low stump bungalow.
"Hurray, Nurse Jane!" he criedJ
"Hurray! Sap's running and well
boil ii and make maple sugar and
wax. Hurray!"
"Hurray!" cried the muskrat
lady housekeeper, for she liked
sweet things almost as much as did
the bunny uncle,
A little later Uncle Wiggily had
built fire out Of doors near a
Albuquerque morning journal., 1922-03-07

patch of late snow. Over the fire
he hung an iron kettle. Then he
and Nurse Jane made holes in the
trunks of some sugar maple trees,
and in the holes they placed hollow
spouts, like these in a water cooler
Through the spouts the sweet ma
pie sap, or juice, dripped into the
little pals beneath.
Not every tree has sap sweet
enough to be boiled into sugar-not
even every maple tree-only certain
kinds. But some of the right sort
grew near Uncle Wiggily's bunga-
low, and socn he was boiling the
sap to make it thick and sticky,
after which it would cool and be
turned into maple sugar, hard and
AS the sap boiled, filling the air
with a most delicious smell, many
of the animal boys and girls clus-
tered around in the spring snow.
"Could we have some maple su.
gar, Uncle Wis lily >" they inquired.
