RESCUE HOME"

Major l.. A. Odom, state superin-
tendent of the Volunteers of America,
under the leadership of General Bal
lington Booth, is visiting Ocala this
week in the interest of the Florida
Rescue Home.
The Florida Rescue Home. which is
conducted at Jacksonville in the inter-
est of friendless girls and babies, is
statewide in it's conduct and free in
its benefits.
This institution was organized some
three years ago by Major and Mrs.
Odom, wholly for the purpose of aid
ing friendless girls and young women
and it has grown during this short
existence to a status of vital import
ance to the state and society.
There is no other institution of this
kind in Florida, and it is not surpris-
ing that the demands being made
upon the home are very great, espe-
cially in this advanced day and age
when we have so many avenues which
tend to lead the young astray.
Major Odom is also at the head of
a statewide prison welfare work
which has been active among the
prison camps for several years. This
feature of his work consists of reg
ular visits to the various camps where
religious services are held. the free
distribution of reading matter, Sunday
school supplies, etc.
In addition to this many of the
men are assisted as they emerge from
prison which is calculated to keep
many of them from returning to their
cid habits.
Major Odom is in Ocala on regu-
lar annual visit endeavoring to secure
assistance for the above work and
says that he has many friends here
who have manifested great deal of
interest i'm his work since its inception
in Florida.

Sugar went up percent. This
product is beginning to recover from
the price slump into which it de-
seconded a few months ago when
dealers suddenly found themselves
overst stocked and no market. The in
CT ease in sugar prices is result not
only OF increased demand in the
United States but also of greater con-
sumption III Europe. The world is
short of sugar, according to survey
just completed by the Department OF
Commerce. Exports are growing at
a record rate. Retail prices are likely
to continue to soar for many weeks,
according to the present outlook.
Among other foods. prices of which
rose in the neighborhood stores, were
eggs two percent; cheese and rice one
percent each: corn meal two percent:
and coffee and lard slightly less than
one percent each.
The present increase in retail
prices is Il reflection of an increase In
the wholesale price level which be-
gan several weeks ago. Higher prices
paid farmers for their products also
is an influential factor. How long the
increase is likely to continue is a
question that government officials
hesitate TO answer.

In West Virginia Hills

BALTIMORE, July 16.--ln a state
ment issued to-day c. w. Galloway,
vice-president of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, declares strike condi-
tions are improving, but charges that
an attempt had been made to blow up
railroad bridge in West Virginia.
The statement says:
Increased forces and more orderly
conditions in the territories where Fed
eral injunctions have been issued and
where previously strikers and their
sympathisers had annoyed and inter
fered with our employees have resulted
in greatly improving the situation,
which will be further improved as
forces are increased.
"While there are some delays to our
through passenger trains from various
causes, with one exception they are, on
the whole, on best time of any day since
the strike began. There were no acct
dents yesterday.
There was an attempt some time
during last night by person or persons
unknown to blow up a bridge on our
branch line between Fairmont and Nor
gantown, near Montana Station, w. Va
Part of the guard rail was split, some
Of the concrete cracked and a few Of
the rivets pulled, but the bridge was
not disabled. Investigation is being
conducted.
with assurance that protection will
be furnished, the Baltimore g. Ohio
now expects to recruit men in greater
numbers"
