CARD OF THANKS

/ am sure that every member OF
st. Marks church would like person.
ally to thank all those who partici-s
pated in the presentation of the mu-
steal comedy, "The Winning of Full
at the Howell theater last Tuesday
night. Each and every participant
is also to be congratulated, for it
would be extremely difficult to sur
pass the total effect of the lovely lit
tie play even by a professional COM
pany. The setting Of the stage for
the opening scene was veritabfe
work of art, and charmed those who
saw it. People came away feeling
not only that it was worth double the
price of admission, but also that they
had been uplifted and elevated by the
beauty and the loneliness of the little
play. They felt that they had been
given a musical comedy Of an unusu-
ally high order. For furnishing an
entertainment of this character, not
because of the neat little sum added
to the building fund, the members of
St. Marks church, / am sure, feel
grateful to the participants.

SUGGESTS SCHOOL PLAN

Editor Daily News: My children

ing to pay 80 cents per week for their
tuition in the public or free schools
for the next school year. Of course,
will do it if necessary to keep the
schools up to the present standard.
However, there, are many parents
with from three to five children in
school upon whom such a tax will
work serious hardship. Why
should the parents of school children
alone be called upon to pay this extra
tax? There is no question but what
the better educated the citizenry of a
community is the better place it is to
live and prosper in. There are many
people making living in our town
who do not pay any taxes. Should
not these people be willing to con-
tribute towards the upkeep of the
schools in a crisis like the present.
whether or not they have children in
school? Would they be as prosper
GUS as they are were it not for the
benefits to the town as a whole that
results from the fact that we have a
good public school system? Prob
ably there are many citizens who
have no children in school, but who,
themselves, received their education
in the public schools. Does their OBJ
legation to the public school ssytem
end when they quit school? Cannot
they help in crisis the system that
helped equip them for their life's
work?

years." but there have been increases
in the property assessments, in some
instances as high as 100 per cent, in
the past three years, and the school
fund naturally received an increased
revenue therefrom.
Palatka is rapidly forging to the
front and now ranks as the best year
round town in Florida. 1t must re-
tain that position and to do SO it can
suffer no curtailment in the quality
of the teachers employed nor the
length of the school term.

There are constant examples Of
frecklessness in the driving of auto.
mobile switch ought to afford warn
ing to all other drivers of machines
that unless they use the utmost care
they, too, are subject to the same &C.
cidents. But the warnings 60 un-
needed.
Recklessness, hoggishness or just
Iplain stupidity seem to have OCCASION
ed fatal accident near Jacksonville,
which deprived two men of their
lives, sent two families into mourn
ing, ruined two machines and threat
ened tn elves of six other men, be-
side those killed.
The story is told in the Jackson
vile papers. Five men were in one
car going from South Jacksonville to
Pablo Beach for days fishing. 1t
was very early in the morning. 1t
was still dark, the sun not having
risen. When about twelve miles out
they observed another car coming
from Pablo Beach. The first car i'm
mediately took the proper side of the
road, and its lights were dimmed, ac-
cording to the rules governing safe
ty on the road. The other car came
on at full speed, with it's lights on at
the brightest, sideswiped the first
machine, plunged into the ditch and
turned upside down. Two of the
three men in this car were killed al
most Immediately. That's the full
story.
1t ought to be warning to those
drivers in this county, who, when
they get out on the road at night,
turn on their high lights without the
slightest regard for the comfort or
safety of other automobiles and
drive at the utmost speed, taking all
of the road they can get. /
But The Herald doubts very much |
that this warning will be needed
where road hogs are exactly like
those in all other sections of the
country. 1t seems impossible to con-
vince a certain class of drivers that
when they violate the common rules
of safety they are not only endanger-
ing the lives of others, but are put
ting their own necks in peril. 1t
would appear that the Jacksonville
incident shows that the reckless and
hoggish drivers got all the worst, of
it, and in that much there will be a
lack of sympathy for those who lost
their lives.
And the Dade county driver, if he
violates the dictates of courtesy, of
caution and regard for human life,
need look for no sympathy if in the
accident he is looked upon

voted for the special 3-mill school
tax in the recent election, and am
willing to pledge forty dollars for
the coming school year, which is
slightly in excess of the amount
asked for from me at so cents per
week per child.
Why not start now and get it done
in thirty days? You can do more
by publicity through The News than
any other one factor in putting this
over.
Speaking of publicity, why cannot
the school board, or school trustees,
or the county superintendent of edu-
cation, give an itemized statement of
receipts and disbursements for the
past year? Also an itemized budget
for the coming year so that the peo-
pie can see what the actual condition
of affairs is. 1t would make the
work of raising the necessary funds
much easier. The county tax collec-
tor and the city tax collector could
help with little publicity. How
many merchants in Putnam county
did business last year without pay
ing a license? What percentage of
county taxes were collected? What
percentage of city taxes were col
lected? Is the tax method of accept
ing post-dated checks or promissory
notes for taxes, in order that the de-
linquent may escape the penalties
imposed by law for non-payment of
his taxes, in vogue in our county
and city? Laxity in the above
things decreases tn erevenue of the
county and city and tends to pro-
duce the situations like the present
one. The city clerk of Gainesville
stated to the writer that he collect
ed 81 per cent of their taxes last
year. Is Palatka doing as well?

given primary place on the daily
menu.
The former difficulty in securing
vegetables here has largely disap-
peared., tt is true that the sandy
lands do not lend themselves very
we'll to the summer crop, but there
has been opened up great section
which grows vegetables summer or
winter. There is no city in the
country that offers more complete
assortment of vegetables than does
Miami now. And the prices are not
prohibitive.
Here are some of the healthful,
safe food products which are avail
able and most of which will be avail
able all summer: Cabbags, collards,
spinach, turnips, lettuce, rhubarb,
beets, beans, lima beans, squash,
black-eyed peas, ckra, tomatoes, pep
pers, corn, radishes, Irish and sweet
potatoes, carrots, onions, celery. Sure
ly here is variety enough for any
housewife to supply her summer ia
BILE in an attractive way without the
overuse of the heavier foods which
are not desirable for the warm sea-
son.
When to this list of vegetables
there are added the fruits which are
available during this season there is
no need for Dade county to envy any
other section of the country in the
matter of summer foods. Among
these fruits are papayas, watermel-
ons, honey dew melons, banana mel
ons, huckleberries, curinam cherries,
Florida gooseberries, mangoes, grape
fruit, oranges, tangerienes, lines.

these fruits and vegetables, if they
