The little chapel at McIver & Mac

Nearer My God to Thee" At the
head of the casket the beautiful u.

leaves tied with red and white rib
bons, was placed by the Daughters,
all of whom attended in a body. The

ris, Alfred Aver, ]. II. Brinson, A.

ed the remains of this beloved old
Confederate veteran to Greenwood

HEARD MR.. HODGES
A Good Sized and Attentive Audience
Greeted Him at the Temple
this Morning

The Temple theater was crowded
this morning with Ocala men and
women, Prof. w. H. Cassels and sew
eral of the Ocala high school faculty,
many high school representatives, out
of town people, and also creditable
crowd of the colored people in the
gallery, all of whom listened atten-
lively to Mr.. Leroy Hodges of Vir-
ginia, Mr. Hoover's special represen-
tative to Florida.
Mr.. w. D. earn first introduced
Mr.. Braxton Beacham, the food COM
missioner of Orlando, who made
short talk on food conservation and
liberty bonds.
Mr.. Hodges was then introduced
and as Mr.. Beacham, was greeted
with applause. To even outline Mr..
Hodges inspiring and patriotic ad-
dress creditably would take more
time than we have at this late hour.
! To touch lightly on his various SUBJ
jects for the benefit of those unfor-
tunates who were not present, we will
state that Mr.. Hodges spoke but lit
tie on the ways of saving. He judg-
ed rightly that most of us under
stand how; his point was to inspire
US to do it. His mission is to i'm
press on up Floridians the necessity
wisest heads of our nation believe the
best plan by which to secure the CO.
operation of every individual in the
| United States, was by the pledge
card system, and Mr.. Hodges most
rightly and positively declared every
person who refused to sign a pledge
card a Stacker" Mr.. Hodges beg
ged us imploringly to use sparingly
of sugar, meats and flour, that we
may send food to the Allies who are
fighting our battles, to their starving
families and to our own men on the
front. Mr.. Hodges told of the hor-
rors of this hideous war in a manner
which no story was ever able to con-
vey. He told of the brutal treat
ment of the Belgians and Poles by the
Germans, which is most positively
true, Mr.. Hodges himself witnessing
some of these horrors and tragedies.
Mr.. Hodges begs, ip the name of
democracy, every person over sixteen
years of age to sign these pledge
cards, to prove our willingness and
support to our president in this our
own war now.
Not one person in that crowd, we
are confident, will refuse to sign the
pledge cards, and you who were not
present, share what you have, and by
saying you will do so, prove to our
president that you have not become
selfish by our long years of peace.
!. Mr.. Beacham suggested Monday as
the meatless day, as the majority of
the world not only feasts Sunday but
rests. Those in favor raised their
hands,.
After the hours talk, which flew
as minutes, Rev. G. A. Ottmann ask
ed the audience to give Mr.. Hodges a
rising vote of thanks, which was
gladly done,- after which the entire
audience joined in singing America.

BUYING LIBERTY BONDS
Indications are That MariOn's Quota
will be Filled if Not
Exceeded

Indications are that Marion county
will fill and probably exceed its quota
on liberty bonds.
There has been a decided increase
in buying in the last few days. 1t is
certain that a number of bonds have
been bought as result of Tuesday
nights celebration.
There was quite rush at the Mum
roe & Chambliss National Bank this
morning, subscriptions amounting to
over $4,000 being taken. From $685.
900 to $4,000 has been subscribed at
this bank and at least $4,000 more
is in sight.
The Ocala National Bank this
morning reports between $4,000 and
$4,000 and the Commercial Bank re-
ports at least $4,000.

means of accomplishing great good.
The pastors are planning to follow
this canvass by series of meetings,
Each pastor will hold services in his

ly disabled. the result of a two-hour
flight with submarine, which ended
only with the arrival of an American
destroyer at the scene of battle. The
commander of the steamer sent calls
for assistance when he sighted the

changed shots until a shell burst in
the engine room of the steamer and

seven of the engine room crew. Be
fore the submarine could finish its
work and sink the steamer the U. S.
destroyer arrived and the German
U-boat dived and made its escape.

The Big Neutral Force
Hoover became naturally the head
of this little committee, and before it
had completed the job for which it
was organized other jobs awaited i
1t was asked by the British and Ger
man governments to arrange for the
return to England of the thousands
of girl students trapped in Germany
at the beginning of the war ,and the

civilians whom the war found in Eng

complished the plight of Belgium had
begu nto force itself upon the atten-
ton of the world. The country was
overrun, employment had ceased,
food was running short. Germany
recognize dno responsibility to feed
the population she was trying to- en-
slave. Belgium's allies could do moth
ing but contribute funds which might
well be appropriated by Germany.
There was big job waiting for
big neutral, and Hoover stepped into
it. He called to his help number of
Americans, most of them engineers
like himself, and they took over the
task of getting food and other sup
plies into Belgium and distributing
them among the suffering Be1gians.

WHO'S HOOVER

Undoubtedly one of the big men of
the day is Hoover, American food
controller. He prefers to call himself
food administrator, having the same
dislike as Mr.. Asquith for "that
word, dictator" He has been men
toned in responsible quarters as a
likely successor to President Wilson
in the White House, and the sugges-
ton was being warmly received by
people who do not know what his
politics are. If he is able to keep
prices of food in the United States at
a reasonable level through the war
ther is no boon he could demand from
his Acknowledged that would not
be granted; and people have such con-
fidence in him that if he fails they will
probably argue that no one could have
succeeded. Over and over again it
has been said that before the United
States entered the war Hoover was
the biggest American living. His
work for Belgian relief kept Uncle
Sam on the international map. When
ever a European thought of an Am
uS Va 4AOONCIs
Lived Long in England
When he was made food dictator
pro- Germans and others denounced
him as an Englishman. He is not an
Englishman, but he has lived most of
his working years in England and
working for English interests. His
business is English; his partners are
English. Probably he was never
heard of in the United States before
the beginning of the war. This is
rather wonderful, for our cousins as
rule do not overlook their million
aires, whether at home or abroad,
and Mr.. Hoover beolngs to that Sc
lect class. But Mr.. Hoover, though
he is not much past forty, had been
living almost in retirement for some
years, and even in England, outside
of mining and financial circles, he
was not known. He leaped almost
overnight into international celebrity
when the war broke out. A commit
tee was hastily formed of Americans
in London to assist other Americans
to get home, and Hoover's organizing
ability was recalled by some Ameri-
cans. He was appealed to, threw his
coat off and got busy. Through his
hands $4,000 American refugees
