AMERICAN LEGION

HEAD GIVES BOOST
Says Soldiers Were Strong For th6
Salvation Army in France Dur
ing the War and Since.

No organization that saw service
with the American soldiers in the
great world war is dearer to the hearts
of the men than the Salvation Army,
according to Franklin D'Olier, Nation
al Commander of the American Le-
gion. In a recent statement regarding
the Salvation Army's second Home
Service Fund campaign, May 1920,
Commander D'Olier said:
''The American people owe a great
debt of gratitude to the Salvation
Army, and just how great this debt
is they have only to ask their sons
brothers and husbands who faced
death in the trenches on the battle
fields Of France. Every man who wore
the American uniform is fully aware
of the manner in which the soldiers
of the Salvation Army suffered an
sorts of privations, faced the danger
of battle and entirely forgot them
selves in order to care for the soldiers
fighting for the cause Of liberty and
humanity.
There is not an ex-service man who
10 uOL SAdu " uO NC Nau "
help the Salvation Army, and 1 feel
safe in saying that the people Of this
country will be satisfied to take the
word of those who fought in France
that the Salvation Army is an organf-
cation that deserves the support OF
the American people.
'The service of the Salvation Army
during the war is but an example Of
the noble work these men and women
have been doing for years among those
who needed their services, and today
they are carrying on a great work
among suffering humanity throughout
the world, just as they have in years
gone by and Just as they will in years
to come.
"The campaign that the Army Is to
put on at an early date is one that I
am sure everyone will lend support
to. You may rest assured that wher-
ever you find an ex-service man you
find a friend Of the Salvation Army.
There were several organizations that
did great work with the troops, but
none of them excelled the Salvation
Army, and none Of them occupy q
warmer place in the hearts Of the
American ex-service men than the SAL
walton Army"

SALVATION ARMY
BUYS "Y" BUILDING
HopkinsViIIe Business Men Pledge
I Their Hearty Support to Further
the Work.

The Salvation Army has bought the
II. N. G. A. building at Hopkinsville.
Col. William Evans, of Pittsburg, the
chief provincial officer, and Brigadier
David L. Durham, divisional officer, Of
Cincinnati, recently visited Hopkins
vile, where they met a number OF
prominent citizens and consummated
THE deal.
/ Seven Of the leading business men
of Hopkinsville were ready to get be,
hind the movement and pledged their
hearty support at the meeting. Others
prominent in their offers of support
were DR.. Leonard Doolan, pastor Of
the First Baptist Church, formerly of
louisville Rev. A. R. Kasey, pastor
of the First Methodist Church, and
Rev. Everett S. Smith, pastor Of the
First Christian Church. Members of
the Board Of Directors Of the Y. NJ
G. A. were also present.
. The 7. NJ. G. A building was erected
some years ago, but debt has hung
over it. A Hopkinsville bank held a
mortgage and filed suit to foreclose
and the Salvation Army bid in the
property. The building is in the cen
ter Of the city, is built Of concret
blocks, and has three stories. Or
the first floor is a central assembly
loom, on the second floor will be the
Salvation Army corps headquarters
and the third floor will be used fol
emergency cases. Many changes will
be made in the building, and whel
completed it will be ideal as a com
.munity social welfare center.
Envoy Henry Waller has been in
charge Of the Salvation Army work in
Hopkinsville for the past five years.

WHAT IS DONE WITH
The MONEY? QUERY
Salvation Army Shows How More
Than st4,ooo, 900 10 Spent Annu-
ally In the United States.

"What is done with the money!
That Is one Of the first questions put
to workers in the Salvation Army's
second Home Service Campaign which
will reach Its elimination during the
period May 1920 when the drive win
be fully on.
It Is a legitimate question and one
which the officers Of this great organt-
zation are eager to answer because It
shows the splendid work done.
According to the Official financial
audit Just made public at the national
headquarters In New York City, there
had been spent to January 81, 1920
more than S1s,OO0,OOO, with a remain
der on hand for the four months to
May 81 Of over 100000.
Nearly a million and a half dollars
were spent to maintain the $50 corps
Of the Army in all parts Of the United
States. This was for rental Of halls,
ETC., work for children and young peO-
pie, cost Of local relief and incidental
expenses, stationery, ETC., and officers
salaries. This last was not so large
an item as might be expected as not
a single officer in the Salvation Army
has a Salary sufficiently large to call
for the payment Of an income tax.
Another million and a half was
spent by "a provincial and divisional
headquarters for fresh air farms and
camps, special relief work, etc. Near
ly 100000 was used for maintaining
25 rescue homes and maternity hos
pitfalls, a general hospital and one for
children, three children's homes and
IL slum settlements and nurseries and
100000 for the pension fund for aged
or disabled officers.
The Salvation Army believes in pay
ing its debts as quickly as possible.
During the year mortgages to the
amount of nearly 100000 were paid
off.
To show how fast the work Of the
Salvation Army is developing, 1t is
only necessary to point to the fact that
over 100000 was spent on new build
ings during the year.

The Salvation Army has given out
its recipe for doughnuts. This Is the
formula from which all the erullers for
the men Of the A. e. f. were made.
There is something magic in it, for 1t
worked wonders. Here 1t is:
Five cups -four, 2 cups sugar, tea
spoonfuls baking powder, saltspoon-
full salt, eggs, X cup milk. table
spoonful lard.
Knead and cut and drop into boiling
lard. The lassies who made these
doughnuts in France say that a happy
smile, added to the doughnuts at the
time of serving makes them even more
delightful.

Following a careful preliminary sur
vey Of needs and requirements the
1920 budget for this province has been
set at 100000. This money will be
raised in the May Appeal and spent
here during the next IL months for
the welfare purposes definitely ex-
planned in the foregoing paragraphs.
The Salvation Army makes a public
appeal upon the principle that money,
a medium Of exchange, commands the
material things which constitutes re-
lief for the worthy poor, the helpless
and needy, the fallen and the stricken;
upon the principle that the officers and
soldiers of the Army have no desire to
acquire or accumulate for their per
sonal emolument any stores Of money
or chattels, but instead have dedicated
their lives to the work Of relieving
others; upon the principles that while
it's members must live decently, and
are therefore entitled to shelter and
food, they seek no reward In this life
beyond the respect and appreciation Of
their fellow men and women, and that
they are especially fitted, in conse-
Quence, both In spirit and experience.
to handle money judiciously and With
utmost wisdom.

 of Mann and Hill

Mr. and Mrs. ". B. Mann and MT. and Mrs Mart Hill were hosts to the teachers in the Marianna schools and to number of their friends at a barbecued dinned serv- ed on the McCulloch hill on Pearl street on last Friday afternoon. In addition to sumptuous spread which was thoroughly enjoyed by the guests, Messsrs. Mann and Hill ably assisted by Marshal Ford, Chas. Me Kee, Bob Smith and other live ones, pulled off some rare entertainment stunts, including the rendition of several very touching ballads sung with such pathos and tenderness that, with the aid of onions, many of the guests shed tears. In a mon- ologue stunt MT. Mann gave very enlightening exhibition of skill in demonstrating the fine points of the Senegambian game of chance with the "bones," and threw so man "naturals" that some of his friends have had their suspicious as to whether he confines himself to purely exhibition games.

More Water COn,ing;
 Situation Serious

Another rise is coming down the Mississippi river and the back water from the St. Francis and L'Anguille rivers now over the lowlands in the bottoms will not recede for several weeks. There have been heavy rains up the Ohio valley with flood stage in the Ohio river. This big volume of water is now rushing in to the Mississippi and will put a stop to the fall. According to Fore caster Scott in Memphis the river will come to a stand at Memphis tomorrow and will begin to rise again within week or ten days. It is not expected the water will go to more than 38 feet on the Mem phis gauge, but the additional wat CT coming from the Ohio will mean delay of at least two weeks in the recession of the present back waters in the bottoms. It will be three or four weeks before the farmers can begin work in the over flowed sections.

The Inland Printer of Chicago, the highest-class printing trades journal published in the world and the one that is regarded by the craft as authority on all matters pertaining to the art of printing, recently ask ed for specimen copies of some country weekly papers for the pur- pose of passing criticism on their general appearance and make up. A copy of the Courier-Index was sent in reply to this request and in the April issue of the Inland Printer the following comment is made on the Courier-Index:
 Admirable in all respects, the particularly strong features of this paper are the advertisements and press work. We have not seen more effective advertisements in a local paper for several months. This is largely due to the fact that but few choice points are emphasized and these are brought out ef- fectively."

his card as a member of the union
 Gen. Lansing H. Beach, chief of army engineers, discussed the atti- tude of the railroads in times past against river transportation, citing many instances showing how the railroads had strangled boat lines and put them out of business. He said the roads had diverted traffic in the Mississippi valley from it's legitimate movement north and south to the congested eastern ports as an additional means of killing river transportation. He told of conditions that exist in the great railroad centers and said in the city of Toledo it requires from ten to twenty-two days to get a car of freigh moved from the railroad yards on one side of the city to the factory district on the other side. Recently he had occasion to order car of steel from Pittsburg and car of lumber from Beaumont, Texas, to be used in some govern ment work at Danville, H. It re- quired sixty days to get the steel from Pittsburg and one hundred and ten days to get the lumber from Beaumont. He said in one railroad terminal car of freight was lost so long that sparrows had built nests on the trucks of the car and matched out brood of birds. He detailed the action of the l.. & N. railroad officials in unfair meth ods to stifle boat competition on nK ka rs.r l.A sulting in the abandonment of the project, the financial ruin of the chief promoter of the boat line and finally in the suicide of the promo ter, who was Capt. Staples, one of the best known river men in the val ley.
 These matters were brought out not su much to lambast the rail- roads, as to show what their policy had been toward the rivers and to further emphasize their inability to handle the transportation problems of the nation. The speakers declar- ed the railroad officials now realize that the proper development of river transportation would be a positive help to the roads and not a detri- ment. The only possible relief in sight in transportation matters is in the rivers. It will require at least seven years for the railroads to rehabilitate themselves. In the meantime the volume of business continues to grow, and unless the rivers are utilized the nations in- adequate transportation system will break down and paralyze commerce.
 Both the Mississippi Valley Wat terways Association and the Missis- sippi Valley Association, attended by an aggregate of nearly eight hundred delegates representing all lines of industry and commerce de- cided to establish a bureau in Wash ington and bring pressure to bear on congress and the department heads to increase the appropriations for the construction of tow boats and barges for service on the Mississippi and tributary streams.
 Max D. Miller of Marianna was reelected a member of the board of directors of the Mississippi Val ley Waterways Association, and H. M. Jackson served on the committee to recommend the nomination of officers and to make up the budget for the forthcoming year.
