LETTER OF INTEREST
REGARDING RED CROSS
SAYS CHAIRMAN WAS CORRECT
in PROMISING REBATE
Advocates Budget Fund for Chapters
of Red Cross, to Be Placed in the
Hands of the Chapter Treasurer.
Who viii Issue All Funds.

The following letter, recently re-
celyed by Mrs. William Sanford, vice
chairman of the Covington chapter
of the Red Cross, written by Mr.. B.
l.. Parkinson, of Atlanta, associate
manager of the southern division. will
explain to the branch organizations
throughout the county what will be
done with the funds collected during
the 1918 Red Cross war fund cam
paign:
Dear Mrs. Sanford:
During the second war fund cam.
palgn you were right in telling each
branch organization that it would
have refunded to it 25 per cent of
the amount subscribed. 1t was then
contemplated that each branch would
need this money with which to buy
material from. which to make various
articles needed by our army and
navy.
Now that these needs are filled
and there is no further call for them
because of the signing of the arnnis-
tlce, conditions have changed. The
expenditures of the Red Cross in the
future will be usually for the SER
vices of trained people, such as home
service secretaries, public health
nurses and instructors in social and
health subjects. Since this is true.
these people will be paid from CEN
trail fund and each town and commu-
Unity in county will share eauallyt
the benefits derived from such SER
vices and such instructions as the
people whom you hire win give. Nee
essarily then there must be some
central fund in order that chapter
may know what its resources are
and may know how to plan its ELL
nances for the year. Since this IA
true, it is strongly urged that all
branches turn over the funds in the
hands of their various treasurers to
the county Red Cross treasurer. Then
lit branch nees a small amount to-
meet its local expenses during the
month, the county treasurer can make
an advance each month. This IL the
plan contemplated by national head
quarters, and this is the plan that
the southern division is urging every
chapter in the division to follow.
You, therefore, have the authority
from this division to induce your
branches to contribute all funds on
which they have any claim to COM
mon budget which shall be placed in
the hands Of the county treasurer.

RnRRFRY AT SIMONTON

Thieves broke into the store Of j.
IB. Feezor. at Simonton, Saturday
night and made away with about
$500 worth Of hats, shoes, sugar and
various other articles. Entrance was
gained by breaking open the front
window.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
to break open the safe. The knob
Of the safe was broken off in the eff
fort to break it open.
1t is believed that the party or
parties went to the store in an au-
tomohile, as someone in the imme-
diate vicinity Of the store heard q
car being cranked up some time in
the night and saw the light Of the
ear No further cleW at to the rob
berry was obtained.

BACK TO NATURE

A hen is not supposed to have much
common sense or tact, yet every time
she lays an egg, she cackles forth
the fact. A rooster hasn't got lot
of intellect to show, but none the
less most ROSTERS have got sense
enough to crow. The mule, the most
despised Of beasts, has a persistent
way Of letting people know he's
round BY his insistent bray. The
busy little bees, they buzz; bulls bel
low and cows moo, and watchdogs
bark, ducks quack, and doves and
pigeons COO. The peacock spreads
his tail and squawks, pigs squeal, and
robins sing, and even serpents know
enough to hiss before they sting. But
man, the greatest masterpiece that
nature could devise, will often stop
and hesitate before he'll advertise.

THE WAR MEMORIAL

In compliance with. Mayor Cha0e's
request for suggestions for a fitting
memorial, and as there is agitation
all over the country as to what form
the memorial should take. it seems
to me now is the proper time to in
terest the city and county people In
taking definite action on the subject.
A war memorial should occupy q
conspicuous place in the town. and as
the lot whereon the library is sit
uated and which is known as the civic
center is centrally located, it would
seem the proper plan to erect a me-
mortal there to our brave soldiers and
sailors.
The form the memorial should take,
to my mind, would be a beautiful,
small fountain in the center of the
lot, and the surrounding space to be
beautified with Howers, ETC.. and kept
up as a tribute to our brave boys.
With our beautiful little library
building and attractive new rest room
in place of the old building on the
southwest corner, which could also
could be used as a community room,
the civic center would be source of
pride not only to the citizens Of
Ocala, but the county as well
