SUCCESS IN SIGHT
First Weeks Work Shows that the
Victory Loan is in Great
Favor

Atlanta, April 26.-The Victory
Liberty Loan offers the final oppor-
tunity for American people to sub
scribe to the governemnt securities
OF large denomination, for financing
the great war. Invest now before the
books are closed and be numbered
among the millions of citizens who
loaned their money to bring the war
to a speedy conclusion.
This is the appeal made by the Vic
tory loan workers throughout the
Sixth Federal Reserve district, by
county and district workers. Its eff
feet is being felt through an avalan-
che of subscriptions being reported
to headquarters. AS the campaign
advances the gloom which seemed to
have settled over the district before
April 21st is rapidly disappearing.
Every day counties are being report
Ell "over the top" with a wide distri-
button of the securities.
Reports from county chairmen indi-
cate that aside from the fact that
this is the last chance to subscribe to
the liberty loan, the attractive invest
ment features of the Victory loan are
bringing thousands of sales from un-
expected quarters. People are begin
ming to realize that a government Sc
curity paying Az % interest is not of
fered every day. This being the last
popular war loan, the investor does
not want to lose the opportunity to
put his money where it will bring the
largest possible return with the
strongest backing.
The first week of the Victory loan
campaign is drawing to a close with
better showing for the sixth dis
trict than in any previous drive.
While official reports from the treas
ury department do not show up very
very well, district officials have in
foramtion from county chairmen
showing that this district has placed
larger proportion of its quota at
this time than at the same period In
previous campaigns.
1t has been surprising to some
chairmen how easy it has been to sell
the Victory Loan. In some quarters
it was thought the people would not
buy again, but in many instances
these very counties were the first to
be reported over.

OCALA THE HUB
Of THE WHEEL
1t Was So Recognized by the Great
Rotary Gathering Here Friday
Afternoon and Evening

Ocala has often claimed to be the
hub of the state, but what is of more
Importance it is recognized by the
Florida Rotarians which met here
Friday as being the hub of their
wheel.
Delegates from the Rotary Clubs
OF Jacksonville, Tampa, Gainesville
ard Lakeland began to arrive early
Friday after noon, to attend the bus
mess and social meeting that official
ly recognized the Ocala club. They
were met at the union station with
cars by the Ocala Rotes and their
friends, and whisked away to the
Harrington for repairs from their
long and dusty journeys, after which
they were taken aboard autoes and
shown Silver Springs and the other
attractions of Ocala.
At o'clock the Ocala Rotes and
their guests met at the Woman's
Club, the spacious main room of
which had been most handsomely pre-
pared for tie occasion. Here they
sat down alongside tables arranged
IN the form Ct cross. and from that
time until after midnight the walls
of the room echoed constantly to
music, wit and mirth. Even eating
could not shut off the flow of vocal
gaiety, for while one bunch of Rotes
was eating and listening, the others
would be singing or speaking, and
everybody was laughing pretty much
all the time.
When the viands were disposed of,
chairs were showed back. cigars were
lit and number of appropriate
speeches were delivered. The Rotes
are certainly there with genuine ora
tory.
The charter of the Ocala Club was
presented by John H. Jay of jack
sonville, district governor of Rotary,
and appreciatively received by Pres
ident Chace. The oath of the order
was administered in a wise and witty
speech by George Broadhurst, one of
Tampa's most clever Rotes.
America was then sung, and the
gathering dispersed with mutual good
wishes from all present.
Of Great Advantage to Ocala
1t is great advantage TO Ocala
to have a Rotary Club. It links our
town with one of the most beneficial
and popular of business and social
organizations. Among those present
last night were many recognized as
men of high ability not only in their
communities but by all the state.
Following are some of the gems of
music contributed by the Tampa con-
tingent:
K-K-K-Katy
j ] Jakie-old jake Brown
You're the first and biggest whole
sale man in town;
For all your kicking about the freight
Uncle Sam now makes you pay a
higher rate.

And sometimes in the fall,
