Central Longitudinal Line
i of the United States Runs
i Through State of Kansas
Discussing the frequently used term
"middle West," an American writer
remarks that the territory so desig
nated might more reasonably be called
the "middle Bast" The central longi
tudinal line of the United States
passes through Kansas not far from
Topeka. On one side of the line, geo
graphically speaking, lies the true
West; on the other the true East, and
'the. eastern side Includes what Is or
Idlnarily called the "middle West,"
iwbereas the geographical "middle
West" would cover the region of the

(Just when or how It would perhaps be
(difficult to discover, and seems In the
beginning to have been a patronizing
phrase indicating that, compared with
the older cultural condition of the
jstates bordering the Atlantic, the near
ler states toward the west were well
frneanlng but somewhat backward, al
though nothing like so lacking In the
amenities as those younger states
iwhlch were growing up still nearer the
jsunset. The Idea has vanished with
Ehe development of the nation, and the
erm remains as a convenient but rath
er indefinite way of referring to what
knany people think is really a geo
graphical division of the country.
SOME POSTSCRIPTS
In one region of government
forest land in Argentina It Is
estimated that there are at least
1,000,000 pine trees large enough
for profitable lumbering.
An Illinois Inventor has pat
ented hangers for barn or other

Into seven" parts and music

ear and handed down traditionally.
No Fleas en Monkeys.
Perhaps the most surprising Infor
mation gathered with respect to fleas
Is that monkeys have no fleas. This is
an assertion that Is commonly reeelved
with astonishment and Incredulity,
but, says Howard Russell, the fore
most authority on fleas, healthy wild
monkeys are much too clean and ac
tive to harbor fleas, and when they are
seen searching one another's fur in a
fashion familiar to all of us It Is only
to clear their skin of any particles of
scurf and dirt.
It may be mentioned, too, that only
one instance Is on record where a flea
was found on a reptile. This was on a
brown snake which was captured near
Perth, in West Australia, and which
was probably derived from some small
mammal devoured by the snake. TM
flea was firmly fixed between the scaly
plates of the reptile.
The history of the flea would seem
to go back many centuries, but tha
only fossil remains of a flea that have
so far been'found Is a single Insect In
a bit of Baltic amber. The flea Is ad
mirably preserved by Its seml-transpar.
ent surroundings.

yHE Great War demonstrated
1 something we shall never for
get the dollars-and-cents value of
fun." It was music and vaudeville
and clean fun of every kind which
gave our boys in France the "pep"
that made them unbeatable. We
will put the same "pep" into you.
The warm welcome accorded the Palatka Daily News has been most encour
aging to the publishers. 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.TThis
organization serves more afternoon papers than any two news associations
in 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 tnat there was no occasion for hesi
tancy. If experience had proven that the morning fields is the most de
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 the day 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 when the 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 over the morniug 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,
why the publishers chose to enter the afternoon field.
