VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
FOR Y. M. C. A. WORK IN
THE OVERSEAS CAMPS
Call Made by Government for Men
Over Draft Age to Enter Welfare
Service at Once

The committee, recently appointed
to assist the government in enlisting
men to act as secretaries for the
Young Mems Christian association at
home and abroad composed of Judge
W r, Fort, chairman; Vassar Allen,
Rev. j. w. Johnson, DR.. Percy H.
Woodall and c. L. Harold, will hold a
meeting tomorrow night. The object
of this committee is to encourage
men to enlist their services in this
branch of the army, as they are needed
very badly, especially abroad, owing
to the large increase in troops "over
there"
Already rs applications have been
received and the committee is anxious
to secure 100 men from Alabama for
foreign service in the Y. NJ c. A. No
man of the draft age will be consid-
cred unless excused from militia y
service on account of physical dis
ability and no man will be allowed
to take his wife with him. No man
whose father or mother was born IN
any enemy country will be eligible for
service in this branch and while sal
airy and expenses of the secretary viii
be paid. his dependent relatives, if he
has any, will be cared for.
The government has issued an urg-
ent appeal for men for Y. M. G. A
work. The members of the committee
request that any one interested con-
fer with any member of the commit
tee for further information.

want to say that it was a pleasure
as we'll as surprise to me-to know that
our county jail was kept in much bet

ty voters can attest, several times there
has arisen cry for 100000 to build
time that this cry was made, under the
management as it was then. this may
have been needed, but there is no need
for bond issue now for new jail
The present warden, Connie Austin, has
supplanted the need.
In my trip through the jail there
was no sign of dirt in any form. The
odor usually to be found in institutions
OF this character was entirely absent In
fact, it is the cleanest Jail that | have

Not an oath was hear dduring the en-

Of quiet orderliness prevalent With

is little room for dirt to accumulate.

City Engineering Department
Gets Increase

Wylam citizens yesterday protested
to the city commission that they did
not own property along Thirty -fourt tn
street, where the city has ordered the
street paved for a distance of about
three miles. This matter has been be-
fore the city commission for several
months, and n order to decide upon it,
the commission agreed to visit Wylam
Friday morning and thresh the mat
ter out with the citizens, as well as
to consider several other matters in
that vicinity
The commission increased the APP
preparation for the engineering de-
partment $1,000 yesterday also. City
Engineer Julian Kendrick asked for an
increase of $4,000, but an examinatio
of the city's finances developed the
fact that this was impossible.

commission and Commissioners j. Ellis

f ARMERS MADE
| GOOD SHOWING IN
| LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
Field Representative States
That Rural Communities
Can Be Depended
Upon

Earl ray, field representative of the
third Liberty Loan. is very enthusiastic
over the manner in which the farmers
and the country people came across
in the recent Liberty Loan drive, and
he has made it plain all along that
they would take care of their end of the
campaign.
ssFor the farmers said Mr.. Lay, 'let
me say that they can be depended upon
to support the government just as
Loyalty as any class of our citizens
While we have had the issues of the
war constantly before us in the larger
centers. the farmers have been neg
lected During the recent campaign We
took good speakers into every county
in the Birmingham zone. We found the
people were eager to hear the war situa-
ton discussed and to know their duty
to their country in the present crisis.
Il wish ] could say all the good things
that ought to be said about the spien-
did men who accomplished these mag
nificent results in the Birmingham zone.
In the first place, our zone chairman
Fred NJ Jackson, was truly the mar
of the hour. Mr.. Jackson is favorabiy
known all over the Birmingham zone;
he has many friends in every county
and the full confidence of everyone
Putting aside his various business IN
terests. Mr. jackson has given his fui
time Tor several weeks to the shiro
Liberty Loan At his own expense h.
| has visited every county in the zone
has met and frankly discussed the is
sues of the war with the people whose
support our government so badly needs
at this time In a very large measure
the success of the campaign in THIS
zone is due to the fine leadership OF
Mr.. Jackson.
More excellent county chairmen than
| those in the Birmingham zone couio
| not be found Every one is leader
| in his county, and every one has been
| working in and out of season since The
very opening of the campaign. Here Is

COMMISSION GIVES
OFFICIAL RETURNS
Late Returns Increase Ma
jority Against Sunday
Movies

The official returns of the High
school bond issue, as checked and tab
ulated by the election commission yes
terday gave the bond issue majority
of 50Ss votes, the vote for the bonds
being 6340. while only 1852 were cast
against it.
The vote for the Sunday movie ordi-
nate was 1907, while those registered
against the ordinance were 4066, or n
majority of $50 against the operation
of Sunday movies.
The 3-mill tax election has not been
officially canvassed as yet, this being
the duty of the board of revenue, in
view of the fact that it involves a part
of Jefferson county, and comes under
the county school system. However,
this vote will be practically the same
as that recorded in favor OF the pond
issue for High school purposes, as the
vote ran neck and neck in these two
counts throughout the city Monday.
