giving the number of French deposit
ors in savings banks as upward of 15,-
100000. The population of France Is
about 39OeOOOO, indicating that more
than three out of every eight have
some sum laid by. The United States,
though richer in many ways than
France, and though its workers of all
classes are better paid, even in pro.
portion to living standards, has only
100000 savings accounts in a popula-
ton of 100000, or less than one to
twelve. The total amount on deposit

individual depositors. Thrift feeds on

variably finds 1t easier to do so again.

MEN
MUST ATTEND
Special Representative of Bureau of
War Risk Insurance has a Mes
sage for the Ex-SOldiers

Mr.. Harry A. Wallerstern, a spec
ial representative of the bureau Of
war risk insurance, will address the
meeting of the Marion county post of
the American Legion tonight in the
Board of Trade room. War risk in
su-ance and compensation are sub
jects of such Importance that the
post invites all ex-service men who
are interested to hear the talk. 1t is
an opportunity for all to become ac-
quainted with the new features of
war risk insurance and government
insurance and compensation. The diff
ference between insurance and COM
pensation has been a puzzle for many.
The expert who is to be here tonight
will be able to answer many of the
questions that have been in the minds
of eX-service persons and which prob
ably have kept them from keeping up
or reinstating their insurance.
The talk of the expert will be pre-
ceded by the regular business session
Of the post at o'clock. This will be
made as short as possible. An amend
ment to the bylaws has been propos-
ed to change the meeting night of the
post from Thursday to Wednesday, as
it is believed that this will accomrno-
date the out of town members. Three
delegates and three alternates to the
state convention of the American
Legion, to be held in Tampa June
21-22 are to be elected. One or two
other important matters will come up
for consideration.
The officers of the post ask that all
those reading this will pass the word
on to others, advising them of the
address of the insurance expert.

GRATEFUL APPRECIATION
FOR THE HOSPITAL

Editor Star: A city or community
having an institution of merit and
great worth within its borders, is
often unmindful of it's duty toward
it and too stinting in its expression
of it's appreciation.
That we of Ocala have such an in
stitution is beyond doubt; and that
the citizens are not fully appreciative
of it's Importance and value is man
ifested by the absence of frequent
public praise | refer to the Marion
County Hospital as the institution de-
serving of frequent public commen-
datlOn.
The writer was a recent inmate and
patient. Suffering fsom a crushed hip
he was admitted to the hospital for
care and treatment, and was the
beneficiary of it's splendid attention
for more than two weeks.
During this period. every consid-
GRAFTON was shown him. Competency,
punctuality, cleanliness and pleasing
demeanor are the leading and out
standing features which characterize
the management.
Miss Marshall, its head nurse and
superintendent, tho with numerous
general duties, finds time to personal
ly visit, pass a pleasant word to the
patient and to note the slightest ir-
regularity (these are rare). Her sub
ordinates, both Of the graduate and
training class, are to her respectful
and obedient.
The food is served with rare delic-
acy, attractiveness, wholesome, is
perfectly cooked and prepared. Daily
dainty bouquets of fragrant flowers
were highly appreciated.
On the whole, it is the place for 9
sick person. This my first experience
has been so very satisfactory that IT

treatment.
