LENDING AND GIVING,

1t will be well for our people to
get correct line on the various
calls that are being, and will be,
made on their purses before this
titanic struggle is fought to a fin
ish.
We must get the distinction be
tween giving and lending.
In the first place, we might state
that our government has not ask
ed, and will not ask, for one cent
Of gift money. The extent Of it's
call is for lOans-and for loans on
which it purposes to pay fair rates
of interest. The man or woman
who buys does NOT sacrifice for
the cause, in the sense in which we
usually employ the word. At the
unost, his action entails but a tenn
porary Inconvenience, in diverting
his means to direct channels from
those in which he is accustomed
to employ them. In the end he
has full worth Of his money in the
The commonwealth., 1918-06-14

soundest securities on earth-the
promises Of the u. S. Government
to pay.
But there are calls being made
that entail direct giving. The
activities Of the Red Cross, the 7.
M. c. A., ETC., are for money from
which there will be no financial re-
turn. Yet these calls must be met
and met fully and cheerfully.
Why should we support these
great causes? Because they con-
stitute the great humanizing agen-
els in the grim machinery Of war.
Their work is to remedy the ply
steal hurt and undo the moral hurt
! that must inevitably result from
war. An army without the Red
Cross would be unthinkable in this
humanitarian twentieth century.
The horrors of war, at it's best, are
great, but without the mlnlstratlon
of the Red Cross our armies could
not endure.
Like wise without the civilizing
influences Of the religious and So
cial organizations the morals of
our troops would suffer deeply
Their minds must be diverted from
the grim duties of slaughter, and
they be brought always to see be-
hind the dark clouds of war, the
silver lining embodied in the ideal
peace conditions for which they
contend.
It does mt necessarily require
great patriotism to buy govern
ment bonds. The support of these
companion agencies must come
from the great, generous hearts Of
our people.
And thanks be to a God Of mer-
cy, it is coming in never-ending
stream

CIVILIAN RELIEF APPEAL

To the families whose men have g2re
to fight for us in this great war FOR
Democracy.
You are respectfully and urgently
requested to write me your home ad-
dress, also the name and address of
your son or relative, who has joined
the colors.
I ask this as member Of the Coun-
ty Civilian Relief Committee, because
the Red Cross feels that it would merit
the censure Of nation if it allowed any
family which has made the supreme sac
'rifice to be without either the necessi-
ties Of life. or any helpful services
which a friendly and sympathetic or
ganization can and could give. I want
to keep in close touch with each fam
lily. so come or write me whenever you
fail to receive your allotment; in order
that we can look into the matter. The
Committee wants you to feel that it
stands ready at all times to render you
all information and help in our power
in every way possible.
Respectfully,

FLORIDA HAS FAILED
To Purchase State 's' Quota of
War Savings Stamps

Unless strenuous efforts arr
made during the next three
weeks, the state will register its
first failure to carry out its full
obligation to the government
since war was declared on Ger,
many in April, 1917. Florida is
faced with failure in the alb.
sorption of its quota of War Saw
lngs Stamps, despite the fact that
it is universally recognized as the
most commendable enterprise into
which the Government has enter.
ed since war was declared, not on
ly IL its benefit to the Government
itself, but in benefits to the people
as a whole.
"A statement issued from the of
flee of the State Director indicat-
ing cash sales at maturity value in
the state up to and including No
vember 30, shows $6,S72,S76.29
War Savings Stamps purchased a.
galnst a quota of 500, ,627 AGO, ,leav-
ing $13,754,5S3.71 to be purchased
during the month Of December.
There has developed during the
last few months a keen rivalry in
the standing of counties for War
Savings honors. Brevard county
has been steadily increasing it's
lead until now it is $500 ahead of
its nearest competitor, Pinellas
county. Pinellas has nosed st.
Johns out of second place and
there were other changes further
down the line, one of the notable
increases during the last month
being in Monroe county, which
has forged ahead Of Duval, Palm
Beach and Osceola. The coun-
ties which have long been toward
the bottom of the list are coming
up, Walton showing considerable
progress during the last two
and it is noticeable fact
that all West Florida counties,
with the exception of Escambia,
are well down the list, no reason
for this being offered by the
State Director.

Florida Boys Take Prize at Okla
homa Fair

Some time ago the club boys
from several counties in Florida
assembled an exhibit of 100 ears
of corn and sent them to the Okla
homa state fair at Muskogee,
Okla, to compete with similar ex-
hibits from club boys in all other
southern states. This exhibit was
collected before the county con-
tests had been held, hence the ex-
hibit was not as good as could
have been secured a few weeks
later. 1t is interesting to know,
however, that the Florida boys
won third prize. Oklahoma won
first, Texas second, and Florida
third, the third prize being $40.
Next HHr the boys will make the
competition still keener, but they
did very creditable work this
time.

Present Law the Worst Ever

Before this country returns to
two-cent postage the officials
should take some steps to modify
the present fool law regarding
rates on newspapers and period
icals. The postal rulings have
been made absurdely silly as re-
CARDS the newspapers and maga-
zines, which are the real educa-'
tors; and before that extra cent is
taken from letters, the present
second-class foolishment should be
abolished, a return made to the
old price, and then, if that is not
right, merely double the rate, This
method would bring in more than
the present plan, and would be
satisfactory to all concerned

DRAFT EVADERS MAY
 ALL BE INDICTED

The department of justice has ad- vised Thomas Flynn, United State at tOrney, that the department receives from time to time information showing that many citizens of the United States have escaped to foreign coun- tries in order to avoid military duty.
 Attorney General Gregory states that it is the desire of the department of justice that indictments should be returned in every case of this charac- ter where the facts in the opinion of the federal attorney are sufficient to support an indictment. The attorney general believes that the indictments should be returned regardless of the fact that there is no immediate prOD- ability of apprehending the slackers who shirks his duty.
 In all cases of this type coming to the attention of the department of jus tice information will be forwarded to the special agent in charge of that work at Phoenix and he will make a thorough investigation of the matter. In many cases the special agents will be supplied by the department of jus tice with information in the form Of intercepted letters and other dOcu- mentary proof, necessary to establish the fact of foreign residence.
 No doubt many cases of local slack CTS who have moved across the Mex ican border since the passing of the draft act have come under the atten- tion of the federal attorney and the suggested method of returning indict- ments in these cases will in all prob ability prevent men who have left this country to evade service, from ever returning to their native land.

GOVERNMENT WILL
 RECOMPENSE THOSE
 INJURED ON ROADS
Perfect Plan Which Will Cut Off Ambulance Chasers" and Prevent Anyone From Preying on Misfortunes

Employees and passengers on the railroads who are injured hereafter will be compensated, without the in tervention of legal advisors. it was an nounced yesterday at the K. P. & s. w. railroad offices, as the result of the receipt of a communication from John Barton Payne, general counsel for the administration.
 The announcement practically elimi- mates larfe percentage of the income of thousands of attorneys, and the en- tire income of an abundance of pr0fes- sional "fixers" and witnesses known as ambulance chasers,' who made a living heretofore by tipping attorneys of the whereabouts of injured passen- gers in order to secure clients for suits on contingent fees, in some cases about half of the amount recovered in suits.
 The announcement solved the prob lens which had been before the rail road since the railways were taken over, which was how was the compen- sation for injuries to be arrived at, since suit cannot be brought against the government. The communication from Mir. Payne declares that compen- sation will be paid after investigation to the person injured, that none of the money will be permitted to pass through the hands of attorneys, and further, if the injured have made con tracts with attorneys they may be broken by the executive heads of the government and the attorney awarded bv payment for services actually rend- cred.
