EVERY YOUNG MAN
IN CITY INVITED

The boys organization in the big
Y. Nj. C. A. drive in its $35 900 ,00'
campaign, as far as Pensacola is con
cerned, is progressing splendid
ly; and the big military rail-!
which has been arranged for Tuesday
evening at 7:30 o'clock. The higl
school auditorium promiSes to see the
largest gathering of its kind evel
held in Pensacola. Every boy anc
young man in Pensacola between the
ages of II and q years, is not only
invited, but IS expected to attend this
rally, which will be addressed by Col
onel Davis, commanding officer al
Fort Barrancas, and Captain Bennett
commandant of the navy aeronautic
station.
Organized entirely upon military
lines, this boys movement is appeal
ing very strongly to the youth of
Pensacola, particularly when it is con-
sdered that it is the first organiza-
ton which has been formed through
which the boys, not alone of Pensa-
cola and West Florida, but the entire
nation, will have any concrete part
in rendering assistance to the gov
ernment in the great world war be-
ing wageds in the name OF liberty and
for the perpetuity of Democracy.
The plan of the organization IS 20
enlist all of the boys-and young men
of the nation between the ages of IL
and 81 years in units of regiments on
purely military lines. A condition
precedent to an enlistment is that a
boy must pledge himself to pay into
the organization between now and
April 1, 1918, $40 from his own earn
ings. This money may be paid in
cash from the savings of the boy, or
tificate of membership in the organi-
NJ. G. A., under the auspices OF which
the movement is being conducted.
This certificate is drawn upon the
same lines as coupon bond-the
main body of the instrument contain
ing the boys pledge of his subscrip-
ton, while a number of coupons to
be detached as installments are paid,
forms the balance of the instrument.
When all of the coupons have been
liquidated, the certificate is receipted
and delivered to the member.
Promotions in the organization are
won by the boys through their activ-
ity in securing recruits for the move-
ment. A boy who pledges so auto
matically becomes a member Of the
organization as a private. He is-thep
expected to become active In the pro-
curement Of recruits and upon secur-
ing one recruit he is promoted to cor
poral; two recruits, to sergeant; three
recruits, to a second ieutenancy. and
so on.
Organization work is being taken
up through all Of the Sunday, as
well as the secular schools of the
country, and by the end of the coming
week it is confidently expected by the
local promoters of the work that Es-
cabia county will have a majority of
her boys enrolled in the ranks Of this
big nationwide army Of young pa
triots whose privilege it will be to
stand side by side with their fathers
in the great national work of con-
ducting the war to a successful and
glorious conclusion

Man, Where's Your Bit?

Victor Ricketts,, Jr. lives at 81 Magnolia avenue. He is a
very small bow, not for his years, but on account of the short
age of his years.
A man from the news room of the Press happened into the
counting room of the Press office when Victor was standing on
tiptoe alongside the counter where reposes a depository for re-
ception of donations to the soldiers and sailors Christmas box
fund. Victor had a big envelope full of coins of various sizes,
counting to Just an even dollar in the aggregate; and he was
trying to jam the fat envelope through the slot into the Christ
mas box receptacle. The conversation ensuing was about as
follows:
"Whered you get all that money, Victor?"
Every time | get marked a hundred in arithmetic at school
my mother gives me a dime and since this Christmas box bust
ness started I've been hitting the trail pretty steady for that
hundred mark. wasn't so awfully good in arithmetic before,
but I'm doing pretty well now"
"But now that you've saved up a dollar, why are you giving
it all away to soldiers and sailors that you don't know? Why
don't you buy candy for yourself instead of cake and fudge for
the soldiers?
I'D rather make a soldier happy. That1l make me hap
pier than to eat candy. If he can scrap for me, surely can
save my arithmetic money for him. Anyway, a big, husky sol
der could eat a dollars worth of candy and cake without get
ting a bel-stOmach ache, and a dollars worth would make me
sick"
A little child sometimes leads them. Are the grownups all
as good Americans as that Victor kid? Is each doing his bit?
Liberty bonds?
Red Cross
Salvation Army ambulance?
Y. NJ. C.. n. war work fund?
Joined home guard?
Defense council Christmas box fund?
There's an opportunity for all, suited to the capacity of
each. Exempted Man, how about your bit? Long Beach Press.

MAJOR IN ORDNANCE
DEPARTMENT

1t is reported that State Engineer
J.. G. Schrugham, formerly dean OF
engineering in the university of Ne
vada, has been offered a commission
as major in the ordnance depart
ment of the army, with a request
that he report for duty Immediately.
Enlistment of a civilian with the
rank of major is unusual and if
the report is true, as it is believed
to be in the northern part of the
state, the commission offered the
state engineer is a high tribute to
his ability.
Special efforts are now being
made to enlist men in the ordnance
department, which is charged with
the supply, maintenance and repair
Of all artillery vehicles and equip
ment, railroad stock and almost
every device for the service Of the
flont-line army and requires many
men of unusual engineering ability.
The state engineer is widely
known in Goldfield, where he has
been a frequent visitor in the course
OF his duties.
