David Lloyd George. the man of the
hour in England today, when told that
the Salvation Army in America was
about to conduct a campaign for
funds with which to continue their
home service work, cabled Evangeline
Booth strong endorsement of the
cause. Following is his message:
Paris, April 8, 1919.
Dear Madam: / have very great
pleasure in sending you this cable to
say how highly l think of the great
work which has been done by the Sal
vation Army amongst the allied
armies in France and the other the
aters of war. From all sides l hear
the most glowing accounts of the way
in which your people have added to
the comfort and welfare of our SOL
diers. To me it has always been a
great joy to think how much the suf-
ferings and hardships endured by our
troops in all parts of the world have
been lessened by the self-sacrifice
and devotion shown to them by that
excellent organization, the Salvation
Army. Yours faithfully,
David Lloyd George.

stoQd at the door and gave every one
a Ggautiful flower did good service tc.
help US remember our mothers. The
music was good and appropriate and
the sermon by the pastor was short
and full of comfort and help to the
large congregation. 1t was easy for
Mr.. L. W. Duval and Rev. Hardin to
be happy, Mr.. Duval as superinten-
dent and Mr.. Hardin as pastor.

CONTRAST OF CITIES
WITH ARMY CAMPS
On Leaving Clean Company Streets
Our Troops Quickly Noted Filth
In War-Stricken France

Lawn mowers were singing this
morning, bright and early. Was yours
among them? Were you out for an
early attack on the weeds-those
weeds on your lawn, or on that va
cant lot of yours, which stands out In
such ugly contrast with the well kept
lawn or garden of your neighbor?
Property owners were out this morn
ing with their coats off. Were you
among them? Does your yard look as
shipshape in its appearance as Hazel
Park? The fremen took their coats
Cff and got busy.
This is the second day of Clean
Up Week" The good work has lust
started. The weeds, tall grass, old
lumber, dilapidated buildings and
fences, dirty sidewalks, dead leaves.
dead trees. dead shrubs, still have
possession of the city. If the army
camps had been kept in the same
condition that Ocala is in at present,
you would have been the first person,
perhaps, to have cried out against the
crime. The army camps were cleaned
and inspected daily. When the army
marched out Of clean camps, and had
landed In war-stricken France, the
contrast was sharp. Every man in
the American Expeditionary Forces
noted it at once. 1t was probably the
most talked of thing among the Am
erican troops in France. In their dis
gust, too many of our men forgot
that France had been at war for four
years, that all available men were
on the front or in the factories, and
that the women and children left be-
hind were plowing the fields and
hoeing the gardens. And when the
war was over our men said: 'sTake us
homel Take is back to country that
is cleanI"
Will the men find the country clean
when they get home? Will the con-
trast with the camps still stand out?
Ocala at present cannot say to the re-
turning soldier, nor to any person.
"Come, make your home with US;
ours is a clean city"

CUT COUPONS AND

May Is is Interest Date on Second
Liberty Loan BOnds-Convert
Yonr Coupons into w. s. S.

"Cut your coupons and buy baby
bonds," is the advice given holders
of the Second Liberty Loan today by
the savings division of the treasury
department, which is aiding the peo-
pies campaign for thrift in connec-
ton with the sale of thrift stamps
and war savings stamps. On Thurs
day, May Is, the government pays
interest on the A per cent. bonds OF
the second loan, and the Az per cent.
bonds into which the second loan
bonds were converted to the amount
of $78.1O2,249. Think of this vast
amount of money invested in war
savings stamps which would begin
earning Immediately per cent. COM
pounded quarterly. The statement
said:
Liberty bond interest coupons
should be clipped promptly, and
promptly re-invested. Thriftless mon
ey, or money which lies idle, is of no
benefit to the individual, or the COM
munity. Money should be put to work
where it can earn the most in the
safest way, just as the individual
should be kept busy. The govern
ment, following the Victory Loan is
now paying interest to the people at
the rate of nearly a billion dollars a
year. This is the money earned by
the savings of the people invested in
the securities of the government.
These earnings should be put to work,
and there is no better, safer place of
employment for money than the war
savings stamps and thrift stamps is
suel by the government.
1.-TWO semi-annual interest coupons
clipped from 800 Az per cent bonds
will more than buy a war savings
stamp, costing $4.16 in May. In jan
