Thomas J. Bannigan. director Of the
service department Of the American
Legion at Hartford. Conn, has re-
seived this letter from Thomas Kirby,
central Office eligibility officer for the
federal vocational training board:
Before leaving Connecticut I de
gire on behalf of the chief at Washing
ron and the whole federal board to
express sincere appreciation for the
consistent consideration and hearty
cooperation Of the American Legion
during our stay In this state.
There is consunmate satisfaction
and justifable pride as we see these
men, bearing the honorable scars Of
national service marching into the
dawn Of new era in their lives to
become more valuable to themselves
and to the country, and in the sue
cess that has attended our efforts the
wholehearted support Of your organ
ization has been conspicuous asset
while we-are to be physically sep.
arated from you, you may be assured
the triple chain Of appreciation, re-
spect and esteem that has bound you

MS in our work, they will receive the
most respectful and serious consider.

LEGION TO AID IMMIGRANTS
Plan Mapped Out by American CON-
mission Of Veterans Organization
to Extend Welcome.

Immigrants entering the United
States will be received and welcomed
by members Of the American Legion,
according to plans mapped out by the
National American commission Of the
veterans organization. Arrangements
Have been made whereby the Local post
Of the community which is the ul-
climate destination of the immigrant
will get in touch with him Immediately
upon his arrival.
J. Information as to the names and
destinations of all immigrants will be
secured at the port Of New York and
forwarded Immediately to the thou
sands of Legion posts in order that
they may prepare for the reception of
the new arrivals.
In some cases the immigrant may
be going directly to friends says
the announcement of the American
commission, but in many cases he
will be friendless and will be sure to
have great trouble He may need as
sistance in finding out where he can
learn English, where he can send his
children to school where he can find a
place to live and a place to work.
Nothing could be more effective in lin
ing up the new arrival on the side Of
law and order and Of the things we
believe in as being best for the coun-
try than this friendly welcome. It
Is his personal greeting from Amer
tca that viii help make the newcomer

We look for the time soon to come
when the method of hauling grain to
market by team will be thing of the
past. w. J. Curren has two trucks
which he is hiring to farmers, togeth-
er with driver. These trucks can
make about four trips a day, carry
ing about no bushels a trip, the
length of the trip being about seven
miles. If a farmer was to have a
team haul this grain, they would aver
age about two trips day, and haul
about 80 bushels to a load. Any pro-
gressive farmer can quickly see where
the truck comes in at an advantage
at such busy time. This method
cuts the time Of transportation i'm
half at least.

HOUSE SHORTAGE
ACUTE IN OCAA
Prominent Citizens are Finding 1t
Difficult to Obtain Suitable
Residences

One of Ocala's prominent citizens
has been attempting for a month to
find a house into which TO move his
family, and without success. Similar
experiences are being had by others.
Permanent residents are faced with
the serious problem of finding hous-
ing facilities. Another prominent
citizen stated this morning that he
expects any day to have the house IN
which he lives sold over his head, in
which case he would not know where
to go. Not only is the city in no po-
sition to take care of new citizens, but
families who have lived here for years
are up against it. What few houses
there are available are either for sale
and cannot be leased. or are of
character for which there is no de-
mand.
This is the beginning of the sum-
mcr, usually quiet time of the year.
Will anything be done to relieve the
situation before next year?

WAR RISK INSURANCE

The men and women who were in
the service during the world war are
making a serious mistake if they do
not take advantage of the war risk
and government insurance. Those
who have dropped their insurance
may reinstate it within 1S months
from the date of their discharge or
until July l, 1920. This means that
many are in danger of losing the Op-
pOrtunity for reinstatement.
Probably the greatest percentage
Of these who have dropped their insur-
ance have done so because in the rush
OF whipping the army and navy TO-
gether little time was given to ex-
plantations of the, insurance, and re-
cause of the manner in which the war
risk insurance bureau fell down, as a
result of it's being overwhelmed by
the volume of insurance it had to take
care of all at once. Every OppOrtu-
nifty Is now being given to the service
persons for finding out what war risk
insurance and government insurance
me ans, and the bureau is now running
on a current basis.
Government insurance offers feat
ures that can not be obtained in any
other insurance. No medical exami-
nation is necessary to convert war
risk insurance into government insur-
ance. A holder of war term or gov
erEment insurance may engage in any
occupation no matter how hazardous
or dangerous, and may travel any
where A holder of government insur-
arce will share in the dividends. All
OF the expense of operating the bu-
reau of war risk insurance is taken
care of by appropriations made by the
United States government. The over
head does not come out of the prem
iums.
Let no ex-service man or woman
make the mistake of giving up their
insurance before investigating fully
its advantage. Get the facts. Don't Re
guided by misinformation.

NAVY RECRUITING PICKING UP

Owing to the fact that the navy
pay has been increased and the mini
mum age for enlistments has been
reduced to seventeen years, recruiting
in the Florida district has been much
better for the last two weeks.
The Ocala station sent in three men
and rejected three. The three young
men who were sent to Jacksonville for
medical examination and enlistment
were all Gainesville boys, Messrs.
Malphurs, Cheves and Guynn. They
are young men looking for something
better than they had, and they will
find it in the navy if they go in with
the right spirit and go after what is
there for them.
Here is an illustration to prove that
man can better himself in the navy.
A certain young man worked in a
meat market in 1910 and received 81
per week for his work, and he started
to work at 5 o'clock in the morning
and got off at o'clock at night. He
asked for a raise and was fired. Then
he looked around for something else,
found work in a grocery store at SO
per week and worked there for a few
days. One day the cash register was
short something like so cents and
though there were several other en-
ployes in the store the new man was
fired. This all happened in 1910, and
the same man is in the same city now,
recruiting for the navy and his pay
is over So per day. If he had kept his
job in the market, would he have been
making So in the market today? If
he had remained in the grocery store,
would that man be paying him So
a day to work for him in the grocery
store?
md Furthermore this man will re-
tire from the navy after 16 years
service with a pension of $50 per
month. Could he retire from any job
or position in civil life with pension
of $50 after Is years?
Ask the recruiting agent about the
naval service.

Out in the State
About all there is to say about the
vote out in the state Is that almost
every precinct that reports adds to the
majority of Fletcher and Hardee.
Fletcher has $4,000 votes to Cats
,000-almost three to one. Hardee
has about 100000; Swearingen about
10000; Hulley about 1000. The cleo
ton of Amos and Luning is assured.
Billingsley leads Calkins by a few
hundreds with BufOrd a close third.
Sheats seems to have debated HoI-
lins. Wells is ahead for railroad COM
missioner.
The county commissioners will
probably be Weathers, CIyburn, Wa
ters and Talton, beside either Meffert
OF Pickett, whose choice must be de-
cided in the general election.

FIRST CONCERT
Of THE SEASON
Brought Out a Large and Apprecia-

The first band concert of the sum-

courthouse square, brought one che
of the largest crowds in many moons.
Hundreds of cars were parked on the
streets near the bandstand and the
courthouse lawn was crowded. The
kiddies especially had big time. The
band had every reason to be pleased
with the reception which it received
or its first appearance. "It is like cid
times" was the commend heard on
all sides. Nothing brings the people
of a city together so effectively rs a
band concert.
