Two or three applications are sufficient FACTS ABOUT THE SALVATION ARMY F By ELIZABETH TYLER f The people cf the South are once more called upon to give. This time “it is for one of the most worthy of all causes, —the Salvation Array Home Service Fund. When war was declared the Salva tion Army workers went over seas with our boys and down into the trenches into the very jaws of death. They crossed the sea with our boys with never a thought of personal in jury—never dreaming of the wave of popularity or publicity they would get for this humble Christian service; they had only one desire and that was to serve our boys when they most needed friends. They spent much of the money that it had taken them many years to collect in small change —spent it ungrudgingly—because they saw that our boys needed it. All they asked in return was that they be allowed by their every day examples to teach the Christianity our Savior taught while on earth. Many soldiers tell of the wonder ful work the Salvation Army has done overseas. To me there is nothing unusual about that work, but it is the same kind of work and service the Salvation Army has always given here at borne —at our very own doors. It has taken the stories told by the returning soldiers who have come to know the Salvation Army to bring about this wave of popularity for the Salvation Army, but the Army has al ways worked and served as they are now serving. It reaches a class of people that no other religious organization can or attempts to reach. The men and women that are too ragged and mis erable to attend the services at our churches —they reach the poverty that hides and ehriqkg in the by-ways of lifeT A man or woman can never fall so low, but that this army of earnest workers stretch out a helping hand to them. Every man, woman and child in America should contribute to this Home Service fund because there is not a corner in our beloved land, however remote, that does not receive direct benefit from the Salvation Army, for fifty per cent of the popu lation of the cities is made up of people that come from small towns and from those remote sections and ninety per cent of the boys and girls that appeal to the Salvation Army for assistance are those who have come to the large cities and find them selves unequal to the struggle for ex istence. The Salvation Army conducts Res cue Homes. Day Nurseries, Homes for the Helpless and Aged and Blind, Lodging Houses for the men and wom en that are unable to pay and free clinics—it extends its services every where that misery and poverty exists. Soldiers Tell Of Overseas Work. < The soldiers that are returning from France after their hard strug gle have nothing but words of praise for the Salvation Army, and from the lips of a soldier now at Camp Gordon comes a story of a trail Salvation Army lassie that defied the shot and shell of the Huu and carried him three miles to a first aid station and saved his life—that man is Sergeant James McCoy of Cos. E lvth Infan try. Sergeant McCoy is the proud possessor of the Croix de Guerre, and the famous Belgium medal for brav ery was among the first Americans to join the Allies in the great world war. "It was on my twentieth birthday, August 5, 19X8. in the famous Argonne Forest that 1 received five machine gun bullets in my legs as a sort of u birthday present from the Hun, says Sergeant McCoy, of (amp Gor don, Atlanta, Ga., as he extolled the work of the Salvation Army abroad. "The rain of bullets from the ma chine guns brought me to the ground with hundreds of my comrades. In spite of the pain, 1 crawled along, and after making two miles towards a first aid station 1 fell in a faint and lay*there with shot and sheU burst ing around me. I will never know who found me. but when I awakened 1 was looking into the eyes of a frail BaKSIiS? 'Army lassie. who had bound my wounds to check the flow of blood and who was bathing my face bringing me back to consciousness. "It was after midnight, and the only light around us came from the bursting bombs and the hand gre nudes which wore being hurled by one of the strongest battalions of the Ger man Crown Prince. She bade me have courage and said that she would carry me to the nearest first aid sta tion. which was three miles away. She unloosened my equipment and carried me in a military fashion straight out over that perilous jour nev three miles away. Time and again she stopped to regain hei st length and each time after she was ready to go on she would bathe my face and make me as comfortable as possible. How long it took her to bring me through that shot ridden land I will never know, for 1 after wards learned that I fainted several times during the journey. It was daylight when the lassie carried me to'the first aid station and after she Fight r *>r Honor. Think well about great things; m.d mow that thought is the only reality n this world, l.ift up nature to thine own stature; and let the whole uni verse be for thee no more than the re flection of thine own hereto mul.

And if It siuuhl fall o thee to receive wounds. sfieJ thy Mood as n beneficent dew, tud smile. — Cervantes. | had placed me in the hands of my sturdy comrades she sank to the 1 ground unconscious.” This is only one of the many things that I know of concerning the Sal vation Army and their work with the American troops abroad. They are the greatest friends we have, and, If the American public can only be told of ten per cent of their heroic deeds in No Man's Land the appropriation of $13,000,000, asked for by the Sal vation Army, will be but a drop in the bucket of the funds actually received. Brothers, eisters, wives or sweet hearts of the American soldiers should always love and support the Salvation Army, for they owe that wonderful or ganization a debt of gratitude, for by its example of humble Christian ser vice it has implanted in the hearts of the world through her fighting men, a renewed faith in Christ and the seeds it has sown in No Man’s Land and at the training camps, which will spring up and bear fruit that will give the world the first real taste of de mocracy. Heroes Explain Why In the following words Private Frank Ivy, of Goldsboro, N. C., sums up what he has seen of the work of the Salvation Army abroad. Private Ivy, who was a member of Company K, 167th Infantry, was severely wound ed in the early battles of Soissons. While he lay on his cot at Fort Mc- Pherson Hospital, waiting- time to heal the wounds inflicted by the Huns, he was at his happiest period, as he discussed the work of the Sal vation Army, both here and abroad. When he learned of the coming drive in May for additional funds for thjjji cau,se, the wounded Jjero said: ‘‘l hopT I am out by that time, and, if I am not, there are thousands who would go far and wide to tell the people of this country just what the Salvation Army stands for, what it did for its boye under shell fire, in the hospitals, and, in fact, everywhere we went, the Salvation Army worker was bound to be there. This is no adver- tising campaign, for all the boys will have to do is to tell the truth of this great work and the great American public will do the rest.” Sergeant George Henderson, of Jacksonville, Fla., who was wounded at Chateau Thierry, is following the example of Private Cook and organ izing the discharged soldiers of Flor ida to put over the Salvation Army Drive in his home State, as the Sal vation Army so ably assisted to put over drive after drive in the cruelest days of the great world war. “We doughboys know how to help, and we are going to do it,” says Ser geant Henderson. "The Salvation Army cared not for shot or shell, for their only thought was to aid others in spite of the personal risk to them selves. They started in the war with us at our training camps in America and remained with us until we put the Hun back on his own ground and started him on the greatest retreat that a losing army was ever forced to make. Debt of Gratitude America will never know the grati tude she owes to the Salvation Army and the number of lives that this little sturdy hand of workers saved by their fearless actions in the greatest of all fights.” Hundreds of statements have come to our office from those who know of the Salvation Army’s work in the trenches. There will be no vital change in the administration of the work. The Tam bourine Girl will no longer circulate among us, however, except at devo tional services. The big drive is for funds to replace this smiling lassie' and release her from collecting small change to devote her entire time to a work of mercy. The people of America will be asked to contribute once each year instead of all the year round to the Salvation Army and per petuate its work. Some of the most prominent men in the South will tour this section of the country in the interest of the drive. Judge J. S. Reynolds, formerly Solicitor General of the Augusta Cir cuit and one of the best known law yers in the South, is chairman of the speaker committee. He has gathered about him men who have made good in their respective lines and who will speak in the behalf of the Salvation Army Drive. Among the prominent speakers who will tour the South are: Judge Mar cus Beck, of Georgia; Dr. S. R. Belk, | Walter P. Andrews of Atlanta, Clif ford Walker, Attorney General for Georgia, Rev. James Horton. C. Mur phy Candler, Georgia Railroad Com missioner, Hooper Alexander, District Attorney, and many others. The Salvation Army is not basing its plea for funds on its war record. It has behind it in America forty yeart of work as thoroughly and con scientiously rendered as was the work of the Army lads and lassies in t--encb.es and on the battl Fiance. 1 know the people will help.

Wliy It’s a Mistake to Delay Your purchase of a NEW EDISON Most everything you buy Wears out eventually. An automobile for example— or a suit of clothes. So the longer you delay its purchase the longer you wil have it to enjoy. Not so with anew Edison. It will outlive you any way. Every month you delay is just one more month gone from your life—another month in which you might have had your life enriched by music—but didn’t. Under our new plan by which payment can be made so mueh a month there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be enjoying your New Edison right now. The New Edison cost $3,000,000 to perfect. It is the only instrument which successfully meets the test of direct comparison with the living artist’s voice or instrument. It will bring into your home the world’s best music, sung or played by the world’s great ar tists. Call tomorrow for a demonstration, “Send it out to the house ’ ’ will be your verdict.
