Through the efforts of Miss Anne Tyler the Wednesday Study club raised a larger amount than any oth- 'er organization in the county for lib- erty bonds. Of course, hours are spent plying knitting needles. Many sol dier enjoying his warm sweater has called the girls blessed. The way to the heart of the sick soldier Is well known and sweets from the sweet in the shape of homemade candy, jel- lies and jams have been enjoyed by the men in the hospital. The faces of the sick always brighten whenever one of the girls appear to break the monotony of the dreary hospital walls. Besides the pleasure they give with the twilight concerts, some of the Study club girls go out to the con- certs given for the convalescents in evening.
 Music is decidedly the favorite di- version with the soldier boys. It not only entertains. but seems to stir up the deepest emotions of their hearts and hold them true to their ideals and purposes. The government realizes the inspiration of music. That Is why they have the very best the land affords in their bands The town and the camp are indebted to the Wednesday, StuGy club for the handsome new library and the lot on which it stands Mrs Thompson, ap1eading member of the club. was the first. person in Anniston to start the ball rolling for war library for Camp Mcclellan,

tauqua to Anniston. Through their ef- forts and contributions a night teacher is kept at the Addie Weaver home, giving many a deserving man and woman an education they could secure in no other way. Regular contributions are sent for child welfare. county extension work and to the federation. Don't you think they are a really truly wonderful club?
 The part the girls of Alabama play in the social life of cantonment must not be under estimated, What would the light, fantastic be without the girls. How the presence of bright, attractive girl in the home cheers the man in uni form. Anniston has become the society girls mecca, with it's brilliant balls and beaux galore.
 The council of defense has appointed a large committee of official chaperones, Anniston's representative women, who are asked to attend all functions to guard and chaperone the visiting girls, and to extend scourtesies to all visitors and army people. Mothers from all over Alabama are sending their daughters to Anniston to enjoy the military social life of the city, knowing that this lovely coterie of chaperones will be on hand to safeguard their girls.
 In fact, the whole state is interested in the stranger within our state. Cour- tesies shown these strangers will mako or mar Alabama's reputation for hosp tality. The Magic City is doing much to keep it intact Soldiers return every week from Birmingham, loud in their praises of the city's hospitality.
 If you have a loved one in service hang out your service flag, and let 1t be known that it hangs as an emblem of service not only from the one who has gone from the home but also as an emblem of willing service from those left within the home.
 The value of this emblem to stran- gers was demonstrated last week, when Mrs. Walter Stahl, an elegant woman from Baltimore, tested the latchstring of an Anniston home
 q came in here" said Mrs. Stahl, as the mother of the home answered the door, because spied your service flag. came to spend Thanksgiving with my son. Walter. Jr.. who is with the Mary land troops. I telegraphed the hotels and they were full, but I felt that just must have one more Thanksgiving day with my boy before he is called across the deep. He is my only child the idol of my heart. Your service flag told me that you, too, have loved one serving your country. and I knew that I would find sympathy and aid within your portals"

Anniston. December 7.-(Special.)---T every call for patriotic service the girls of Alabama have responded with earger and untring efforts are proving invalu- able in every branch of service.
 The Wednesday Study club, composed of Anniston's most prominent girls and several young matrons. who, since en- tering into matrimonay still retain their membership, were highly commended at the recent meeting of the federated club s in Mobile for their patriotic endeavors
 The club was represented at the state meeting by their president, Miss Alice Pettus. Miss Pettus is a graduate of the University of Michigan, girl with a magnetic mind and brilliant person. ality. She is . daughter of MT. Francis l.. Pettus and granddaughter of Sena- tor Edmund Winston Pettus who are now resting from their labors in the great beyond, but whose names will live always in the history of Alabama Many of Miss Pettus fine characteristics have been inherited from them. Miss Pettus and her mother, whose gentle sweet spirit make her universally beloved. came from Selma several years ago to make Anniston home, both proving valu- able acquisitions to the literary, church and social circles of the city.
 The other officers of the club are: Miss Mary Gardner. vice president; Miss Augusta Cobb, federation secretary; Miss Alice Weatherly club secretary. and Miss Hannah Reynolds, treasurer.
 Miss Iva Cook and the committee who assist her: Miss Christine McCaa, Mrs. Branch RaIl Mics Ca Tly have brought untold joy to the men in camp through weekly, twilight concerts. The girls have consecrated their talent to service and have been generously as- sisted by the very best talent from An niston and the surrounding towns.
 There is always concert singing, when the boys simply make the wellSin ring, as they blend their voices with those of the girls in popular and patriotic songs Then there Is always the popular stunt feature from some of the soldiers, some- times clogdancing. sometimes slight of hand performances, Irish songs from real Irishmen, Italian melodies from Italians in the native tongue, requested songs, recitations and violin numbers Some- times the ringing strains of our dear old southern "Dixie.' the heart song of the south, stirs the crowd to cheers, sung with the same enthusiasm by boys from north, south east and west Dixie holds no bitterness, makes no plea It goes straight from heart to heart Is it surprising that the name of the Wednes- day Study club invariably brings forth applause wheneverst the name is called in khaki clad audience?

The women of Birmingham will surely finish this, but one of the requisites in doing it we'll IS promptness. The chairman of the knitting department of the Red Cross can make no estimate of how fast or how much knitting is being done, if those who have wool and do not bring it in at once.
