ENLIST NOW; YOUR
COUNTRY NEEDS YOU

The Naval Reserve offers many ad-
vantages to young men TO serve IN re-
sponsible positions.
The Naval Reserve force is still
open to enlistment. There are many
young men in the state that still be-
lieve that they are not able to enlist
and are Standing by" waiting for the
draft. This is a wrong impression
and any young man registered last
June by passing the physical examin-
alton and securing a statement from
his local board to the effect that he is
not in the current quota and is at lib
erty to enlist in the Army or Navy,
may enlist now. Young men from
eighteen to twenty-one may also en-
list.
Your country needs you just now
more than ever before. Your coun-
try will care for you better than you
will be cared for in civil life. If you
! enlist, you may secure insurance to
the extent of ten thousand dollars.
You may also make an allotment to
your mother or dependent relatives,
who might be dependent on you for
support. If you are married you
make an allotment to your wife and
children. You make an allotment of
S15 to your mother or wife and $40 to
your children. The government makes
the same allotment and sends the
amount to your mother or wife at
home You receive free medicine,
medical attendance and hospital SER
vice whenever required. Your clothes
are furnished. Your travelling expen-
ses are paid from home to the place
where you are ordered to report
Your chances for advancement are ex-
cellent
Absolute obedience is all that the
government asks of you in order to
let you partake of all the benefits il
offers. If you are not as efficient as
you should be it. simply results in
your not being promoted so rapidly
as some are promoted. There is plenty
of room on top. You have a chance
how good a chance depends on you
yourself-to become either warrant
or a commissioned officer. Just now
the navy needs men of higher rating
and commissioned officers. They vii
be needing these men while the wal
continues.
The following is given for your In
formation, in case you are qualified
to enlist in these branches: Cooks
/ S66.50; mess Attendants, SAL; seamen
! S38.40; fremen, $46.50; hospital ap
prentices, s3S.40; machinist's mates
/ s66.50; electricians, SCI; carpenters

i S52; blacksmiths, sci; plumbers
| $3.50: watertenders, $50; sailmakers
! S52; shipitters, s66.50; oilers, s48.7O
i Just now the naval reserve need
hospital apprentices, machinist'
mates, seamen and lawyers of profes
sional training. The hospital ap
\ prentices are enlisted in the secon'
class and sent to the naval base hos
pital at Charleston navy yard for
: course in intensive training. Upol
graduation from this course the ap
prentices are given higher rating, &C

Mr.. Max Israelson, manager of
Franks store, like the proprietor,
takes special delight in doing any
thing that will tighten the work of
his employees. He now announces
that he will begin on May 7th to close
his store at one o'clock Thursdays in
order to give his help half holiday.
Each summer the merchants join in
a movement to close up on Thursdays
at noon, but Mr.. Israelson says they
are inclined to wait too long to "start
something" and he proposes to carry
out his closing schedule regardless of
what other business houses do. This
movement usually takes shape in
June, but it is hoped that Mr.. Israel
sons lead may be followed by all the
Ocala business houses and that the
Thursday closing will be unanimous
from the first Thursday in May.
