URBES ALL UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN PLEDGES PAID OR
WELFARE WORK WILL SUFFER-—NECESSARY FOR
SOUTH TO “SPEED UP” ITS PAYMENTS OR
DROP BEHIND
Washington, D. C.—The need for the payment of United War Work
Campaign subscriptions has become so acute because of the danger that
the work of the welfare organizations for our soldiers still in uniform
will be curtailed that a letter to Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of the
Commission on Training Camp Activities, from President Wilson, has
been made public. This letter from President Wilson, better than any
other document, shows the great need for continuing the welfare work
:;‘ettl(ladthe Army of Occupation is withdrawn and demoblization is com-:
It is to back up the President’s request and to fill the great need
for cash to carry on the work that “Speed Up” Week, July 28th to
August 4th, has been inaugurated so that everyone who has not paid his
pledge will do so at that time.
The President of the United States of America.
Paris, 18 April, 1919.
My Dear Mr. Fosdick:
All that | have seen and heard over here In France has but
added to my sense of profound appreciation of the vital importance
of maintaining in full volume and strength the service of the seven
organizations which last fall joined in a united campaign for sup
port—the Young Men’s Christian Association, the Young Women’s
Christian Association, the National Catholic War Council (Knights
of Columbus), the Jewish Welfare Board, the War Camp Com
munity Service, the American Library Association and the Salva
tion Army, on behalf of our soldiers and sailors.
In addition to the needs which existed at the beginning of the
war, there are now added and very imperative reasons why this
work should be continued during thé period of demobilization.
The American people showed in a remarkable manner their
wholehearted support of the cause for which their men were fight
ing when they responded so generously to the appeal of the United
War Work Campaign last November, and | earnestly hope that the
whole amount then subscribed may be forthcoming, in order that
this final helpful and still absolutely necessary ministry on behalf
of the men who have given themselves with such rare devotion to
the nation’s cause may be In every way worthy of their wonderful
epirit.
Cordlaly and sincerely yours,
. : : WOODROW WILSON.
: Honorable Raymond B. Fosdick, Chairman, Commission on
Training Camp Activities, 45, Avenue Montaigne, Paris.
FINANCING FLORIDA
bh FARMERS DISCUSSED
(Continued from page one)
tion was J. J. Emery, well known citi
zen of Jacksonville, who is one of
the pioneer representatives of the
company, and the first man to intro
'duce the Sessions systematic saving
‘plan in Florida. Mr. Emery inter
estingly related his early experiences
in introducing this plan of saving
and he stated that Florida was a
splendid field for implanting the prac
tice of systematic savings, through
‘the medium of the Sessions accumu
lative mortgage bonds.
Judge Sessions remarked, in the
‘course of an interview, that the rea
son Florida land values have not in
creased in the ratio as lands in the
surrounding states was because the
farmers of the state have not been
able to get sufficient money to finance
themselves; that Northern capital was
somewhat shy of mortgage invest
ments in certain part of the state.
He said further that the impres
sion gained in the North that Florida
security was not as good as that in
other sgetions is being proved to be
erroneous, and the Sessions Loan and
Trust Company has entered this state
by state authority for the purpose
of making conservative loans at rea
sonable rates of interest, in accord
ance with its long estaolished policy
in Georgia and other farming dis
tricts.
Judge Sessions also stated that all
money received from Florida in the
systematic bond savings plan would
be invested entirely in the state of
Florida in mortgage loans, in addi
tion to the funds received from insur
ance companies and savings banks
in the North and East. The syste
matic savings plan is in force in
many parts of the country and the
proceeds are invested in farm and
city mortgages wholly in this sec
tion of the country.
This was Judge Sessions first visit
to Jacksonville in many years and he
was much surprised at the wonderful
progress made in the growth and de
velopment of Jacksonville. He was
quite enthusiastic over the appear
ance of the city, the modern down
town buildings and especially with
the beauties of Riverside and the out-]
lying districts. |
Mr. Farley, one of the prominent
figures of the conference, has many
friends in Jacksonville, particularly
among bank officials, several of whom
are friends of his of many years’
standing. Mr. Farley was first pres
ident of the Alabama Bankers' Asso
ciation and former president of the
Farley National Bank of Montgome
ry. He spoke enthusiastically about
the evident signs of progress in Jack
sonville and its growing importance
as a seaport and a big factor in the
commerce of the Southeast and the
commerce of the world. He ex
pressed surprise at its great impor
tance as a ship building center and
said that Jacksonville will grow to
be one of the biggest factors in the
economic life of the country.—Jack
sonville (Fla.) Times-Union.
Enderses Cotton Chopper
“I have just seen the Lanham cot
ton chopper cultivator in a practical
demonstration, it does all that the
manufacturers claim for it, and in
my opinion is a very valuable imple
ment—a labor-saver and a crop sa
ver,” savs Commissioner Brown.
’ATLANTA WOMEN ARE
TO VOTE IN PRIMARY
A large number of prominent At
lanta citizens on Thursday signed
their names to a protest against the
threat of the city’s Democratic ex
ecutive committee to deny the regis
tered women of Atlanta the right to
vote.
“We urge that the committee admit
the women to the Democratic pri
mary regardless of the disposition of
the registration fees,” reads the pro- 1
test.
ACWORTH SOLDIER
CITED FOR BRAVERY
~ Acworth, Ga., Aug. 12.—First
Lieutenant W. Coyle Davenport, son
of Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Davenport, of
Acworth, has been cited for special
bravery in two instances during his
service in France. The order of ci
tation follows:
General orders No, 2 says:
First Lieutenant W. C. Davenport,
Eleventh infantry. For exceptional
devotion to duty during the Meuse-
Argonne offensive.
On November 10, 1918, he dis
played exceptional leadership and
courage in leading his company
through a heavily shelled area and
crossing the Meuse with few losses.
He later remained on the bridge at
Jametz under heavy artillery fire un
til his company had passed over,
thereby showing utter disregard for
his personal safety, and setting a
good example to his men.
