The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1918-07-25

And with them, all the little ones
have flown;
No happy voices fill the rooms so
rushed and still,
For 10! they live in houses of their
own.
And once again see, as clean as it
can be,
A big and silent house, so old and
worn,
And once again | view table set for
two,
And see an aged couple all alone.
-Louella Pugh Knott.
Need of Literature
There is great need of books for
our soldiers and sailors. Hundreds of
thousands of them are desired for the
war service Libraries, maintained by
the American Library Association at
environments. training camps, posts,
forts, naval stations, on vessels and
over seas. Our men need these books
for recreation and home study in their
leisure hours. Do not delay giving
generously from your own library.
Hundreds of thousands of books will
be purchased, but hundreds of thou
sands more must be obtained as
gifts. Deliver to your public library.
Send your best for our boys.
