early this afternoon. to help in the
drive for recruits for the army now

stayed there-it was always the
safest place.
Lieut.. Morrison is a fine looking

NATIONAL WEEK OF
SONG, FEB. % TO 20

The above dates have been chosen
as the National Week of Song," the
object being to focus attention and
interest upon the week which includes
Washington's birthday and to use eve
ry means possible to impress upon our
nation the Importance of song in ma
tional life. The movement was start
ed in the schools, however every
church, club and home has been ask
ed to cooperate with the schools in
making all America sing. 1t has
grown to be a movement in the inter
est of community singing, a movement
to help make America a happier ma
tio14 by making America a singing ma
ton, a movement to awaken and de-
velop a great national and patriotic
spirit which will amalgamate our peo-
pie and inspire them with high ideals.
The better element of America is sick
of "rag" and "jazz" an dwants to in
culcate in our children and young peo-
pie a love for good songs and good
singing.
AS teacher OF public school music
in Marion county and as state chair
man of music in the Federation of
Women's Clubs, wish to urge every
teacher in the schools of our county to
have a roll of honor and to place upon
it the name of every boy and girl who
will memorize by the time of the week
of song, "The Star Spangled Banner" J"
america" america the Beautiful, >
columbia the Gem of the Ocean" and
"Dixie." Begin at once preparing a
special program. for if properly en-
phasized this week of song can be
made a mighty force in the work of
Americanization. Sing only standard
hymns and patriotic and folk songs,
such as quicken the heart beat and
inspire the soul.
This national week of song if OBJ
served in the proper spirit can be
made wonderful week in the lives of
our people and of our nation.

tickets to the Temple theater.
Mr.. P. K. Van Valkenburg. manag-

arrived here yesterday about noon,
after taking six hours and a quarter
to make the run from Orlando. Mr.

pointed at the way things turned out.
They promise. however, that all those
who attend the convention here in
April will be given an ever bigger
time.

SWEET POTATO
TO BE POPULARIEzD
Florida Development Board Takes the
Initiative to Stimulate Use
of Florida Product

An example of what the new Flor
lda development Board proposes TO
do when it has gotten thoroughly or
ganlzed is given in a letter received
by the Marion County Board of Trade
from Mr.. A. A. Coult. temporary sec
retary of the board The Florida De-
veiopment Board proposes to assist its
members in marketing their crops.
1t has been found that the ship
ments of sweet potatoes out of Flor
ida from September Is to January 81
was only two carlots. The price offer
ed the growers has not justified ship
ping. The State development board
has begun move TO popularize the
sweet potato and has asked the SIM
liar organizations in other states to
do what they can to stimulate a
greater consumption of potatoes.
The situation was called to the at
tention of Mr.. C. S. Ucker and Mr..
Colt when they were in Ocala last
week. Mr.. E. c. Beuchler, of the An
thony Farms. told them that, as re-
suit of the governments urging the
farmers to grow more potatoes. his
farm had produced 10000 bushels two
years ago. After selling 5000 bushels
in the northern markets at loss, al
though the potatoes were properly
graded, he fed out 1000 bushels to his
live stock. Last year Mr.. Beuchler
said that he produced only 1000 BUSH
els and could find no market for them.

them every opportunity to learn the
duties Of American citizenship.
Appeal to Aliens

them every opportunity to learn the
duties Of American citizenship
Appeal to Aliens
In order to induce young men of
foreign birth to enlist, and to give
them the advantages referred to, the
wal department will accept illiterates
and non-speaking English citizens,
such enlistments being for a period
of three years. and at present to in
clude only members of white races.
An applicant, if he is not a citizen,
must make legal declaration of his in
tention to become so before enlist
ment. Such a man is privileged to
take out his final papers Immediately
after being discharged from the SER
vice.
Just as soon as men of this class
are enlisted they are sent to one Of
the great recruit educational centers,
where they are taught to speak Eng
lish in a thorough manner, following
which they are given equally thorough
instructions in other educational
branches: Particular attention, in
fact, is devoted to training them so
that they can advance more rapidly
in the army and have their rank and
pay increased from year to year.
Appeal to Americans
There are many American boys who
are being robbed of educational ad-
vantages and practical training that
would fit them for success Some of
these will never have these advantages
as long as they remain at home. To
such as these the offering of the reg
ular army should make quick appeal.
Why not get these advantages while
being paid from $50 a month up and
receiving your board. home, clothing
and medical and dental treatment at
Uncle Sans expense? Thousands
have had it in the past, while hundreds
have managed to save large sums
during their terms of service. Thou
sands have gone out, of the army and
met with success in different voca-
ticns; thousands have remained in the
service for thirty years, and then re-
tired with large savings and three
fourths of their regular pay for the

out fundamentally and physically.
And from now on these men will be
respected and assisted to an even
greater extent than has been the rule
heretofore
Branches of Service
Following are some of the branches
of the army for which men are wanted
together with the requirements of
each:
The infantry. the largest fighting
arm, which demands youngsters of
nerve and offers rapid advancement.
The cavalry, which calls for men of
equal courage and knowledge for in
terest in horses.
The artillery, which of necessity de-
velops men of the highest type. Men
are wanted for both field and coast
service.
The engineers, which converts
green men into experienced civil engi-
neers, fitting them for the most diff
ficult work.
The medical department, which
