fOR’‘OTHERS" 41 I - * I 1924 Home Service Appeal Grand Rapids, Mich.—(Special.)— Lieut. Col. John G. Emery of Grand Rapids, former national commander of the American Legion and a member of the Grund Rapids Salvation Army advisory board, recently asked Maj. Richird F. Stretton, commanding the Salvation Army forces in the Western Michi-gan-Northern Indiana division here, for one word that most completely contained the meaning of Salvation Army service. The major replied. ••Others." •This was the word," he related “that the venerable Gen. William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, flashed by cable to bls staff officers throughout the world as his Christmas greeting to them, shortly before his death." Why Money Is Needed. The question Is sometimes asked." •aid Colonel Emery, “‘Why does the Salvation Army need money?’ Here Is the answer. The Army is known by its adherence to the principles laid down by Its founder which can l*e summarised by General Booth’s statement: •Go for souls and go for the worst.’ The Salvation Army does this and It does it In a practical and efficient manner. But this quest for souls which are the worst has led It Into many strange byways. It has taken it tn the paths of the down-and outer. It has taken it among the ranks of the unfortunate women who are a prey t<> MM'lety and a liability to the community. The army has taken these |*>o|de and imide business men from drunkards. It has made respected mothers from prostitutes. It has re formed criminals, and it has made the world a much better place to live In. but all the while the Salvation Army has worked In thia field, and as long as It will work there —which Is ns long as the need exists—there has bw-n and will tie no adequate nnam-lal return for the expenditure of money. A Public Servant The Salvation Army pours out Itself and Its funds. It enn never be self supporting ns long as It continue* to work where It does—where It Is #i<«t needed. If the Salvation Army Should stop Its work tonight, your community would not be as safe as it l« now. Thousand* would g« hungry, hundreds of thousand* homeless: there would be few place* for unfortunate girl* to go but the river. So tlie Salvation Army must have fund* to continue. It has no source of income other thun the general public The funds derived from campaign* and collections do not do the Salvathm Army one bit of good other thun helping It expend these fund* for the poor and deserving. The Salvation Army Is a public servant. It does ►rvice work, reclamation and ref<»matl<m work where no other sgvncles do. It doe* It for you and ymtr community and In your name “Eminent authorities are responsible for the statement that the fund* rerelv.d by the Bnlvatlon Army f«r it* work do not half equal the Inchase In (axe* the CMMtlon of It* »ork would cause. “Salvation Army Weak.’’ “Since the war.

M'CRAY cares FWICKENS Former Governor Os Indiana In Charge Os Poultry At Federal Prison Anderson, Ind.. June 14—Warren T. McCray, former governor of Indiana, who la serving a long term in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga„ for misuse of the mails, is now In charge of the chickens on the federal farm, according to William J. Norton, who haa just returned from Atlanta, where he spent six months Mr. Norton is head of the Norton Brewery here and was sentenced for violation of the liquor law. According to Norton, former Governor McCray was transfered to the federal prison farm, which is located about fourteen miles from the main prison, about three weeks ago. Norton states that it was his understanding that McCray's sleeping quarters are adjacent to the poultry pens where other prisoners on the farm are housed. The dally routine at the farm, termed the "honor farm” is similar to that at the main part of the prison according to Norton. There are no walls or fences around the farm and only one guard is kept at the place. Men sent to that section of the prison are regarded as honor prisoners, who do not have to be watched. Daily Routine of Farm The Anderson man says that the daily routine at the farm is the same as at r,‘her parts of the prison, according to his information, which is as folows: Lights on and rise at 5 a. m.; breakfast at 6 a .m. or 7 a. m.; work until 10 a. m or noon, when dinner is served in the dinning room; work on daily duties until 3:30 or 4:30 P m.. when supper is served in the dinning hall. Food served for breakfast includes cereals, eggs, coffee; dinner meats two kinds of vegetables; supper, meats vegetables. All foods are steamed. Prisoners have time after the supper hour to visit the library or to take other diversions. The Anderson man saw tho former governor when he first reached the Atlanta prison and says that he talked with him for a few minutes. According to Mr. Norton. McCray ip pea red exceedingly downcast and talked as if he thought he had been mistreated. Norton says that McCray seemed very much distressed vi<i remained aloof from other Inmates the first few days ot his arrival. Ho did not mingle with other prisoners, apparently preferring to remain alone. The Anderson man states that the fact that the duties on the farm would place him In a position to be more to himself probably had some thing to do with the former governor being transferred.
