Of living, breathing humanity that first

It is in this, among other things, that
he is the despair Of his latter day

upon form and color, and that be-
witching light which was one Of the
prime objects Of his study. But his
painting has status equal to that

World War Veteran
Dies Without Help
From His Country

Hastings, May 19.-"Scottie" Nc
Laughlin, veteran of the world war,
and employed since his discharge
from the United States army in the
restaurant of Stanley Diaz, died
Thursday morning at the home of a
friend in Fruitland Park, where he
went several weeks ago hoping to re-
gain his health.
"Scottie," as he was known to a
large number of friends here, con-
tracted tuberculosis while serving
his adopted country. All efforts of
friends to get him into a disabled
veterans hospital or to obtain gov
eminent aid for him failed. He died
penniless and collection taken
among his friends here to defray
burial expenses amounted to more
than 800. He was born in Scotland
and came to this country when a
small boy. In a letter received from
his mother in Scotland recently she
wrote that three other sons who serv-
ed in the war were disabled and not
able to walk.
1t is understood that burial took
place in the Fruitland Park ceme-
terry today.

Major Odom Here
in Interest of
Fine Charities

Major L. A. Odom, state superin-
tendent of the Volunteers of Amer
lea, is a visitor to Palatka this week
in the interest of two statewide
charities, namely, Hope Hall and the
Florida Rescue home.
Hope Hall is a reservation located
near Hampton, Fla, which comprises
farm of some two hundred acres,
on which a number of cottages have
been erected and equipped for the
purpose of receiving and assisting
man as they emerge from prison. The
institution has been conducted for
some five years and has grown to
where it is considered one of the
most worthy charities in the state.
The Florida Rescue home located
at Jacksonville, is conducted wholly
in the interest of friendless girls;
like that of Hope Hall, it is state
wide in its operations and free in its
benefits, hence it is doing a most ex-
tensive work for both state and So
ciety. There is no other institution
in Florida of this character, says
Major Odom and in this event cases
are received from any section of the
state and assisted as long as may be
necessary and they are either return
ed to their homes or placed in posi-
tons.
Major Odom states that he has
many friends in Palatka who have
watched his work with a great deal
of interest since its inception.
