A marked improved appearance is

Mr.. Hill states he has found that
great number of Palatka ladies
wish to have their shoes whitened
while down town and the arrange
ment of his shop has permitted him
to supplement his regular business by
placing a stand in the store so that
they may have courteous attention
while being served out of view of the

THE RED CROSS
ROLL CALL

1t is the very ardent and common
dable desire of the Palatka Chapter
of the American Red Cross to make
the local roll call this year a record
breaker.
This will be sixth annual roll call
in this vicinity, and heretofore the re-
Spouse has been most gratifying; but
there is a greater necessity just now
for funds than ever before. Unless
the roll call this year is made rec
ord1breaker, the local chapter will
not be by any matter of means as
! Satisfactorily equipped for the local
work as heretofore.
The splendid work of the Red
Cross has been so evident in all sec
tons of the country for the past few
years that it would seem to be I'M
necessary to dwell upon that. If the
Red Cross should cease functioning
entirely for six months the dire re-
suit would be obvious to the most
careless citizen. But the Red Gross
does not stop; it functions 365 days
in the year, wherefore we become
more or less used to it and accept il
as a matter of course.
All you are asked to contribute
reader, when the roll call is sounded
is $1.O0 for yourself and $100 fo1
each member of your family. The or
ganization will be very grateful t.
you if you contribute more than that
but it feels that you will be cordial!
willing to give at least that amount
If every citizen in Palatka make
this contribution it will be the great
est success ever attained in any city
The Red Cross is not eXtravagant
1t doesn't seek unusual and eXtraor
binary ways to spend money, but i
does undertake to supply the vita
needs of the community in its line o
endeavor And that requires a larg
sum.
Be prepared then, when the rol
call is sounded, to do your part, t.
lend your support to the great ale
viator of suffering and misery ant
store up an obligation for that da!
when your own community will neet
the assistance of this great organi
cation.

With Other Editors
SHOULD BE APPROVED.

In about all public questions there
is room for two opinions, but in this
matter of the proposed amendment
providing that special tax school dis
tricts may vote a ten-mill tax, in
stead of only three, there ought not
to be two opinions among the people
If there is one thing that is distress
sing the progressive people of the
state of Florida more than any other,
it is that there are not adequate
funds to support, properly, the public
schools of the state.
! Every year sees the demands upon
the school funds increasing by reason
of the fact that the school popula-
ton is constantly increasing. In
some cases past bad management and
present inefficiency have added to
the burdens of the people, and with
out some additional ways of raising
funds the public schools are likely
soon to be in deplorable condition.
This amendment, if accepted by the
people, will permit special tax school
districts to determine for themselves
by a vote of the people of the sew
eral districts, whether or not they
will assess themselves not less than
three and not more than ten mills for
the support of the schools, in addition
to what the law permits county COM
missioners to assess and the on-mill
state tax for such schools.
After the amendment is adopted it
will be entirely in the hands of the
people most interested as to whether
they will accept the opportunity to
raise additional funds for the schools
As a matter of fact, with a proper
assessment of the property in Dade
county, if the whole county would
under this amendment, assert its
whole right to taxation, there would
Immediately, or as soon as the assess
F ment could be made and taxes collect
, ed, be ample funds to carry on the
schools of the county and gradually
to pay its large current debt.
1t is quite evident that we are 60
ing to have to have more schoolhous-
es in this city. The overcrowded
state of the schools is seriously ham
pering them in their work of educat-
ing the young. But it will do no
good to erect new school buildings un
less we can have the funds to pay the
salaries of the additional teachers re-
quired.
} No more important question con-
fronts the people of the state than
the adoption of this amendment. Ev-
: cry progressive citizen should see to
it that he casts his vote in favor of
the amendment and that every man
and woman entitled to vote shall be
at the polls with the same purpose in
view.
1t would be a disaster to the schools
of the state and to the state itself,
t if, by any chance, the proposed
amendment should not be adopted

Christmas Seal
Stamp Sale Will

Plans are already under way for
the annual cooperative effort of Ma
tional, State and local organizations
working for the control of Tubercu-
losis, to raise funds for the support
of their activities by the sale of Tu-
berculosis Christmas Seals.

out the United States and is now an
integral part of the tuberculosis
campaign, will take place December
1st to 31st inclusive, throughout the

GIRL SETS FIRE TO SCHOOL
Resents Being Put in Grade With Pu-
pills Much Younger Than
= Herself.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Rather than remain
in a grade with pupils much younger
than herself, Antoinette Sergi, thlr-
teen, attempted TO burn the school
building.
She went to public school No. At, the
first day of the fall term, and was as
signed to grade ga. Returning from
luncheon the girl said she brought a
small bottle of kerosene. With this
she soaked the papers in the basement
and ignited them. Another blaze was
similarly started in a hallway.
The fires were discovered by Will
liam keenan,, janitor, who sent an
alarm. and within a few minutes the
building was emptied of its 1870 pu-
pills. Miss Clara Nichols, principal, and
the fire marshal investigated and An
toinette admitted her act, it is said
Justice Wilkin remanded the girl to
the Children's society and directed
that her mentality be tested.

ONE NEEDED AMENDMENT
THAT SHOULD CARRY

TOO much emphasis cannot be
placed upon the amendment to be
voted upon at the coming election
concerning the right of special school
districts to make their own levy at
a millage large enough to conduct
their educational facilities as they
NAV deem best. Florida has become
too progressive to be bound under re-
strictions which might have been just
laws a score of years ago-'and for
the past three years every special
school district in the state has been
handicapped because of the low limit
placed on millage.
One bugaboo which has obtained
in general throughout the state may
have an i'll effect upon the vote-and
that is the term of the ''ten mill tax
amendment" This expression which
originated, perhaps, in good faith,
has provoked much comment upon
those not fully posted, and has filled
them with the idea that ten mills are
to be added to all taxes. Between
now and election day in many coun-
ties there is planned to have we'll
informed men and women thoroughly
explain in every voting precinct pre-
cisely what the amendment proposes
to do once it shall become a law; anc
it is believed that the spreading OF
such propaganda will make a mater
ial difference in the vote cast.
The average Floridian is ever II
favor of all that will aid education
Rarely is it that a bond issue for the
erection of better and larger schoo
building, for a playground, for an!
innovation which will be beneficial
to the children, is turned down in an!
county or in any district. Just now
however, voters have become wary
and in this case there seems to be {
fear that some hidden motive may
,:nderle the amendment. They have
seen state taxes increase for the pas
decade in spite of all pledges tina
they shall be made lower They can
not we'll understand why or how sucl
results are brought about; but they
do know that taxes have been RAISED
in spite of advanced valuations in {
large majority of counties. And this
"ten mill" proposition is what has
frightened them.
There is need of propaganda il
practically every voting precinct ir
the state in regard to this amend.
ment which will allow special schoo
district to fix its millage as it deems
proper. Those who have studied the
question may consider this as unne
cessary-but unless steps shall BIZ
taken along this line the needed six
ty per cent of votes required for the
adoption of the amendment will moi
be secured. Then would the entire
state be in sorry condition-as To-
cal meetings in Palatka have demon
strated.
The amendment regarding the
right for special school districts tt
regulate their own levy-with ter
mills as a minimum, should carry
and it will if properly explained t.
the voters.
