Movement Innaugurated With Great Deal of Publicity in All Factories. TAMPA, Oct. 28 The cigarmakers have declared their intention to re frain from patronizing the retail dry goods and shoe shops in Ybor City, Tampa, and West Tampa, for the next ninety days, believing that by this means prices may be forced down. The universal boycott went into ef fect Saturday, handbills being pass ed about among the workers and their families, and the details of the plan read in the shops by the shop readers, with the result that hardly any of the Latin people were to be seen in the dry goods stores Saturday night. In eome of the shops the matter was put to vote and the movement met with enthusiastic support. But the shop keepers are far from being enthusiastic about it and aver that if the present condition is kept up for ninety days, it will result not in prices coming down, but in the shutters going up on many of the stores. One of the Ybor storekeepers stat ed last night that he had been told the circular passed among the cigar makers, advised them to refrain from buying in Tampa, but instead to pur chase all their goods of the mail or der houses, therby taking the money away frsm the city altogether. The jvorkers state that the handbills mere ly set forth that the people had enough clothing and shoes for the next three months and they should not buy more during that time to bring down the prices.

It is proof positive that the American people are demanding more speed, even in getting the world's news. We print it the day it happens. The afternoon paper is steadily gaining in public favor. It is distinctly the home paper everywhere. World's Greatest Afternoon Service The Palatka Daily News carries the United Press afternoon service. This organization serves more afternoon papers than any two news associations m the country. It is crisp, interesting and reliable. It speaks for itself as it is presented daily in the columns of the Daily News. This servioe will be increased in number of words as soon as additional facilities for handling it are received. Why We Chose The Afternoon Field . The publishers chose'to enter the afternoon field, in preference to the morn ing field for reasons that are so obvious that there was no occasion for hesi tancy. If experience had proven that the morning fields is the mostide sirable in cities the size of Palatka present conditions here would not have decided the publishers not to enter that field. But the afternoon field is the field for the advertiser and the reader locally. In the United States there are two afternoon papers for every morning paper In Elorida there are nineteen afternoon papers and eleven morning papers. In no city is there a morning paper where there isn't an afternoon paper except Palatka. These figures prove that the demand of advertisers is that their store news shall be circulated on thefday it is printed and on the day that current news happenings are chronicled. In large centers of population the morning papers depends, to a large extent, on its general circulation outside the local field. Seventy-five per cent of the advertising for local readers in New York and Chicago is carried by the afternoon papers, The afternoon paper goes into the home before supper, just whenhe house wife is finishing her day's work and when the husband has come home from his labors. From it is mapped out tomorrow's purchases, as there is no time in the morning for wife or husband to look overthe moraiug paper un til after the first rush of activity incident to the starting of the day. ( This is the age of speed and people want the news the day it happens. That's why the publishers chose to enter the afternoon field.
