URGENT APPEAL FOR RED CROSS
FUNDS

Two days ago the finance commit
tee of the local Red Cross chapter
published a notice, asking for volun-
tary subscriptions amounting to two
hundred dollars, to be used at once
for surgical dressings. The call is
urgent, and we hope that the commit
tee will be saved the trouble of max
ing house to house canvass. Before
the notice was published three men
subscribed ten dollars each, and in
the two days since the first notice ap-
peared there have been eight dona-
tions amounting to eleven dollars,
making the total to date forty-one dol
lars.
Be good enough, please to leave
your gifts for this urgent need at Ger
ig's drug store.

STILL cRoWNIING US WITH
FLOWERS

The Lord knows how an editor fat
tens or praise! 1t Is our only imper'
ishable reward. 1t goes with us clear
to the yawning jaws of the dark river
Of death. And when such praise comes
from our own professional brethren,
particularly from the snow-haired,
whiite-souled and brainy Colonel Har-
ris, editor of the Ocala Banner, the
Nestor of Florida Journalism-from
him whom we all love and think as
stainless as a star--praise is the
greatest reward for our exertions, a
salve for all our wounds.
One of the wisest, cleanest and
best loved men we ever knew, Mr.. e.
r. Jones, editor of the Arcadia Daily
News, bows before Colonel Harris to
acknowledge the latter's justly be-
slowed compliments, and expresses
his gratitude thus:
"At no time have we been more
sincerely grateful than when Editor
Frank Harris, of Ocala, known as the
Nestor of Florida Journalism, refers
so kindly to the editor Of this paper
and the character of paper he is try
ing to make. Such words of common
dation from such high source does
much towards tightening our burdens.

served object of his benevolent en-
couragement, in the recent past re-
ceived from the beloved Colonel Har-

Ocala, Fla, July 18th, 1917.
Mr.. Clarence Woods,
Editor Lake Region,
Eustis, Florida.
My Dear Comrade:-
1 want you to feel that hold in the
highest esteem the Lake Region and
it's editor, and in the columns of the
Banner have frequently given express
sion to that opinion, but not as often
as could have wished.
The paper is model of its kind
mean the weeklies. 1t has blazed its
own way along original and unique
lines and is maintaining it's reputation
most admirably.I note its success with
great deal of pleasure.
When the Banner said that it was a
newspaper unlike any other it meant
it as the highest compliment it was
capable of giving.
In saying this it hasn't its fingers
crossed and it is not because this is
Friday, the 18th.
Truly and kindly,
FRANK HARRIS.

ASKS FOR A GREAT SERMON TO
BE REPEATED
Ocala, Fla, Nov. 6. 1917.

Ocala, Fla, Nov. 6, 1917.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Along the first year of DR.. Gross
ministry in Ocala he preached won
derful sermon on the subject of "Cre-
ation."
The sermon was described by one
who heard it through the columns Of
your paper as follows:
"Ocala has had the privilege from
time to time OF. hearing some reat SER
mons from some celebrated divines.
Bishops verot, Moore and Kinney Of
the Catholic church: Bishops Young,
Weed and Gray of the Episcopal
church: Bishops Pierce, Kavanaugh,
Hendrix, Galloway, Gambler and Nor
rison of the Methodist church; Bish-
OPP Vincent and other bishops of the
northerns branch of the Methodit
church; some very fine sermons from
some OF the African Methodist bish-
ops, but we doubt if she ever heard
at any time more powerful sermon
than the one delivered by DIR. Gross
of the Methodist church last Sunday.
"His theme was Gods Creation 1t
was a wonderful theme, and was han
died in wonderful manner Stupen-
dous as it was, the preacher rose
equal to it. and seemed as one inspir-
ed. For forty-five minutes he held
his congregation spellbound."
AS DIR. Gross four years of ministry
is drawing to a close and he will soon
leave us thought it would be well for
a number to join in petition to have
him repeat this sermon, which was
listened to with so much delight.

in fine trim, but are just about at the

ed to service Immediately In fact it
has been pointed out as stated, that
many of the lieutenants may not be
called into active service until the
second 100000 men of the national
army are called organized. The COM
missions, as was the case with the
graduates of the first camps will be
in the officers reserve corps or the
national army. On the eligible list
will be placed men who are above the
legal age for commission in the re-
serve corps at the rank to which
their showing at the camps entitle
them. AS there is no provision for an
inactive national army commission,
they will be put on an eligible list and
commissioned in the national army
when needed. 1t is expected there
will be only small number of such
men.
OFFICERS in charge OF the camp are
selecting 1000 men between 81 and 81
years of age for commissions as pro-
visiona1 second lieutenants in the reg
ular army. They will be attached to
regular regiments for additional train
ing and will be given provisional COM
missions in their grade in the regi-
ments as vacancies occur, the COM
missions to be confirmed il they make
good in active service After these
1000 are selected the men remaining
will be considered for the signal and
ordnance bureaus which are in need
of more officers. Those selected prob
ably will be called out Immediately.
Virtually all of the majors and many
of the captains of the line commits
stoned when the camps close will be
needed Immediately. There are indi-
catiins of a shortage in this grade,
which may make it necessary to re-
open the army to civilians generally if
officers casualties prove as heavy as
is to be expected.
