The patriotic and philanthropic
spirit of the South will again be
challenged in May. when the people
will be called upon to contribute to
the Salvation Army Home Service
Fund. Plans of an elaborate nature
are being made to have the best or
ganization that ever handled a cam
paign in this territory to secure the
necessary funds by which the work
OF the Salvation Army can be carried
out in times of peace as was shown
under shell fire.
E. Y. Clarke, of Atlanta. a man
who has been active in many cam
paigns that have gone over the top
in this section of the country. is to
head the southern division Sur
rounding him will be the finest cali
bre of men he can choose from the
South. L. A. Cooper Is to be in charge
of the department of the Southeast
in the capacity OF campaign manager
and E. D. Cullen. of Birmingham
Ala, is to assume charge of the Gulf
section.
The wheels of progress are already
in motion for the drive OF drives
Fourteen district managers have al
ready been sent out. by Mr.. Clarke
Most of them are soldiers wearing
wound stripes, and many wear dec
orations for bravery and are serving
the Salvation Army through sense
Of gratitude for the work done by that
organization in France, when the A.
E. F.. needed their friends most. A
similar number will be on their way
within a few days. A campaign, the
like OF which the South has never
seen. will be put on by Mr.. Clarke in
this greatest of all charitable ap-
peals.
The attitude of the soldier who re-
turns from abroad is absolute proof
that the Salvation Army has stood the
acid test of war and has emerged
stronger, more efficient and more de-
termined to accomplish it's great pur-
pose in the world. than it was before
being put to this final proof.
The Salvation Army assumes new
burdens with the rehabilitation of the
United States Army. The soldiers
Will be helped to secure positions and
nothing will be left undone to make
the service man as comfortable in his
home land as the Salvation Army did
in devastated France.
The Salvation Army is an organ
ization of poor people for the poor
people. It will continue to life up

Many amateurs do not have time to

is well to remember that the nitrate

Hence they are important for lettuce,
cabbage, collards, turnips and other

Therefore good midsummer garden

has abundantly proven by many y"irs'
experience that snap beans. wax beans,

well by planting the last week in June

tomatoes can be realized by setting out
