By ROBERT G. MEssER

Positively Miss Fancy is getting better looking every day. She is get ting so fat that she is getting dimples all over herself. Her life has become one long sweet song under the pro- tecting care of her fond keeper, Day. ton Allen and she does nothing but float along on flowery beds of ease from the end of one day to the end of the next Of course she amuses the numerous kiddies that flock out to see her every day, but she does not con- slider that work. but real privilege She spends her mornings browsing about the woods back of her house in company of Dayton, with an occasional bath in the wading pond. All the aft ernoon she is at home to her friends and admirers.
 The wrestling matches that are be- ing given at the Jefferson are put in the shade by the matches that are staged every morning by the bears. They are all together now in one of the finest dens in the country and do nothing but play. The joy they take

YOUNGSTERS JOIN
 ARMY AND NAVY Youths Below Conscription Age Respond to Coun-
 try's Call

The regular army obtained six men yesterday to be sent off to Fort Ogle- thorpe, Joseph c. Kennedy, Mckinley Grain, John O. Davis, Busey J. Low cry, Ed Brown and Wesley Skipper. A slow but steady stream of applicants is dribbling into the office every day All the recruits from Alabama come through the Birmingham office and the daily average Is about seven men The feature about the men who are enlisting now is the extreme youth of so many of them. A comparatiyely small percentage of them are men who would be eligible under the conscrip- ation law. The men over 21 are appar- ently awaiting the action of the law, but the boys from IS to 21 are coming forward and enlisting of their own &C., cord. A large number of boys who would not be affected by the conscrip- tion law are also Joining the navy. The recruiting officers are unanimous in saying that the patriotic thing to do is to enlist now and not await the action of the law, as all the time be- tween now and when the training of the conscripts will begin will be saved to the government. They say the need for men for immediate service is inn perative. In addition to the good a man will do his country by enlisting now, the officers say that he will also benefit himself. as he can select out the arm of service he prefers and any previous special training he has re- ceived will be to his benefit

We sug- gest that all the members who have records that they do not use ought to bring them up to the association and start new collection in the place of

 The library that has been started has now reached the proportions of two volumes. All the members are re- quested to bring up any book they have read and enjoyed and put 1t in the reading rooms. If enough books are brought up, a member has prom ised to donate a bookcase in which to keep them. Any kind of good book, fiction will be appreciated. The first two books are MT. Crewes Career" by Winston Churchill, and book on community building. A large number of magazines have been subscribed for, as well IS newspapers from many parts of the country.

Jake Burger has prom ised to buy six as soon as they can be found, and Dayton is securing the country for them, but to no avail. He says that the mercnanr ships that used to go to Africa would come back with few monkeys in the hold, but for some reason this has been discon- tinued during the war. Two chicken hawks have been added during the past week.
 The park is being used more for pic- nics than ever before. Anywhere from one to a dozen are out every day. The kids always make a beeline for the swimming pool and even the girls do not disdain to wet an ankle. There is a leaky boat on the lake that has caused sorrow to many a trusting little lady who has ventured in it for row with her gallant escort. After the boat upsets, as it always does, there is another kind of row.
 Lots of flowers have been planted around the entrance and the hedges and walks are in good condition, and the park altogether is now at it's best
