 Montgomery, January F. = Especially

 cially, in comparison with the weeks
 which have preceded it, owing to the

 Tuesday
 There has been some smallpox in the city, and, while the provision was
 doubtless q most wise one, 1t brought
 sorrow to many of the fair sex and they
 have been having lonely time. When the quarantine was put on Tuesday aft ernoon the telephones at all of the Y M. C. A. huts at Camp Sheridan presented an interesting sight, with hundreds or soldiers standing in line, waiting helf turn to call the best girl in Montgom- cry with whom they had engagements for the evening.
 And in many homes scores of Mont eomery's prettest girls gazed in the fire and bewailed unSind fate that kept their soldier lovers in camp. It was particu- larly trying to some of them, as several hundred of the enlisted men left for of fcers' training school and were unable to come to the city to say farewell. But it takec more than a quarantine to sep arate young people who are interested in each other, and it was case of Ma homet and the mountain, for visitor to Camp Sheridan, on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon. might have seen perhaps a hundred girls strolling on the highways of the camp With soidier friends

By PATRIOTIC PATRICIA

Anniston. January 12.-(Special.) Woman's hour has struck! Never be- fore in the history of nations have such appeals been made for her serv- ice.
 The, galue of women's organized clubs Has been appreciated as never before. These clubs all over the land did not wait to be asked for service, but with that generous outpouring of spirit and devotion so characteristic of the sex in any crisis, came forward with offers of help. and since the first stages of preparedness have worked indefatigably in many tangible ways for their country.
 The womens clubs have had po- tent influence in arousing the Amer ican people to united effort, deter mined action and willingness to. give of their energies and means even In bitter sacrifice for the advancement of the most glorious cause that ever stirred nation.
 Every kind of club has placed pa triotic endeavors first The Matron's Study club is a literary club composed of Is of Annistons most prominent matrons. All of the members are good housekeepers, who realize fully that tho breaking of economic and moral laws must necessarily be followed by disastrous effects, that one woman's s waste means another womans want. and have rallied nobly to the cause of food conservation. The Hoover doc Urine is consistently carried out in the homes of all the members, and at the beginning of the season the club de- cided to relinquish the pleasure of serving refreshments during war times.
 All of the members of the Matron's club are loyal to the Cross of Red tha, is to save humanity. and to all branches of the city's war work As a club, they have aided in building the new Carnegie library, which is to serve the purpose of a war library al most as much as the library situated on the camp grounds.
 Many choice artists have been brought to Anniston by the Matron : Study club. This year, however, in- stead of literary feasts for their own enjoyment the club is assisting in en- tertaining musicians and readers who come to cheer the soldier boys a, Camp Mcclellan. This season the club is taking an instructive course on Rus sian history and literature and also the present problems of Russia.
 Mrs Emmett w. I4edbetter, the pres ident of the Matron's Sz1dy club, is one of the most brilliant women oi Alabama. She is graduate of the University of Chicago. where she took several degrees, and also studied al ! Harvard university and Oxford, Eng. and is q Shak espearian scholar of note

One young man spent a whole day reading the adventures of Robin Hood He seemed to forget his sur roundings and would throw back his head and laugh out loud with enjoy ment. hate to tell this for fear I will not be believed, but they even ask for Caesar.
 The particular impression made by the soldiers was their apparent ab- sence of all care. They were busy drilling, etc, during the day, but after 5 o'clock crowded into the library and with their feet up on the big stove and the air blue with tobacco smoke
 seemed to have cast all responsibility upon Uncle Sam.

There never was before war in which the women had recognized place outside of hospitals, but they nave a place so important and responsible that this war cannot be won without tneif help. Loyal, self-sacrificing and efficient service is demanded of every one of us- Without the regard to social position wealth, religion, or organization affila- tion we must individually and collee- lively do our very utmost to give this tremendous service.
 The women of the General Federation of Women's clubs, because of their train- ing and long experience, are eXcellently fitted to do tlAeir part. Also, the ma chinery of the federation furnishes the means for systematically reaching the people in every community in every state in the union.
 Food productidn, because of it's relation to soil-the supreme resource that We now need to use to it's full capacity-was added to the department as a new di- vision of work kst April at the council at New Orleans. These natural re- sources touch every phase of our na tional and individual life at some point of contact. Some of them are now be- ing handled on B life and death basis.

 POINT HE SAYS
Representative N. Longs. worth Thinks People Who Buy Must Pay
 Cost of War.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Wealth is taxed to the straining point by the new revenue bill, so Representa- tive Nicholas Longworth of Ohio declared in the House.
 He warned his hearers that any additional taxes levied hereafter must be borne by the people pur- chasing the articles of daily neces sity. He commended the bill as a whole.
 In concluding, he said the German people were gagged and bound and were paying a bloody tribute to the unsuitable greed and ambition of the Hohenzollerns. He declared that no citizen of the embattled nations, not even the son of Henry Ford, the great pacificist, is more surely i'm mune from bodily harm than the Kaiser's six sons, who will be pre- served for posterity.
