SAYS HE TRIED
 TO RE-ENLIST
 AT 20 STATIONS

Chances for 8 fellow getting back into the army after he has been re- jected for physical disabilities are slim, according to William Stearns, who says he is now living in Milford. Yesterday he sought aid of the Draft Board Division Six to find out if he could be sent to a training camp from that division, As he is only 20 years old and is not registered, the officials could give him no relief.
 Stearns says that since his dis charge from the army five weeks ago he has been in hot water and has tried about 20 recruiting stations to seek re-enlistment. He was discharg- ed on account of physical disabilities, citing that they were caused when he fell from horse seven months ago. It was not until five weeks ago that his discharge papers came through.
 He claims that he was on the Mex ican border for several months after which he was stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, from which place he was sent home to New York. About a week ago he took a place in the Bridgeport Public Market, he says, but the army fife haunts him yet and he wants to get back in and see action.

OVER THE TOP

The first thing the other 6ellow asks you when he meets you on the street is, Have you seen Over the Top And there's a reason. The masterly V1tagraph pictorial version of Ser geant Arthur Guy Empey's widely read book of life in the trenches, NOver the Top in which Sergeant
 Empey himself appears in the lead
 ing role is one of the greatest if not the greatest motion picture proSiuc- tion that has ever before been shown in this city. If you have read the book you'll surely want to see the picture
 and if you haven't read the book see the picture anyway and you1 want to read the book afterward. Slangly spea king, you've got to take of your hat to Sergeant Empey for his excel lent work in the picture. After att taining the title of star in shadow plays there is no telling what's next on the list for the celebrated soldier author and lecturer. 'Over the Top" will be shown twice daily at the State
 Armory all this wSek under the au- spices of the Home Guard See this wonder shadow play and you will car " the memory of it in your mind for ever afterward.

 It will burst upon an expectant city the Hagenbeck- Wallace circus, tomorrow In all it's gay panoply of snapping flags, acres of canvas, horses, elephants, menagerie, trained wild animals, ballet girls, tinsel, tan bark and monster red and gold char iots. It overtops in magnitude, in merit, in splendor, in novelty, in fun and breath-taking feats, it's represen- tatives avow, any and all former cir GUS achievements. It has even sur passed the mightiest efforts of it's own equaled past.
 The circus will arrive early tomor- row in 6S double-length railroad cars. The young boy and the old boy will be on hand to meet it and witness the picturesque scenes of detrainment and the march of men and beast to the Barnum show grounds Three long trains are required to transport the big canvas enterprise. The first, bearing the preliminary essentials to the encampment, is expected by day break. The others will not be far be- hind

THE KAISER PHONES
 TO HELL

The Kaiser called the Devil up On the telephone one day, The girl at Central listened in To what they had to say. Hello" she heard the Kaiser say, ''Is old man Satan Home? Just tell him it is Kaiser Bill, That wants him on the phone" The Devil said, Hello" to BilL And Bill said, How are you? I'm running 8 Hell here on earth, So tell me what to do." What can I do?" the devil said, My dear old Kaiser Bill, If there's "a thing that I can do To help you, sure will.'' 7 The Kaiser said, Nov Listen, And I will try to tell, The way that I am running On Earth, a modern Hell.
 I've saved this for many years, And I've started out to kill, That it will be a modern job, You leave it to Kaiser Bill. My army went through Belgium, Shooting women and children down, We blew up all her country, And tore up all her towns.
 My Zepps dropped bombs on cities, Killing both old and young, And those the Zeppelins didn't get, Were taken out and hung.
 ' started out for Paris, With the aid of poisonous gas; The Belgians, damn them, stopped us And would not let us pass.
 'tMy submarines are devils, Why, you should see them fight; They go sneaking through the seas, And will sink a, ship on sight. "F'was running things to suit me, Till a year or so ago, When man called Woodrow Wilson Wrote me to go more slow.
 He said to me, Dear William, We don't want to make you sore, So be sure to tell your 'U' boats, To sink our ships no more.
 "'We have told you for the last time So dear Bill, it's up to you, And if you do not stop it,
 You'll have to fight us, too.'
 "'I did not listen to him, And he's coming after me
 With a million Yankee soldiers, From their homes across the sea.
 Nov that's why I called you up Satan,
 For want advice from you, know that you can tell me,
 Just what I ought to do."
 My dear old Kaiser William,
 There's not much for me to tell, For the Tanks will make it hotter, Than I can for you in Hell.
 ''Tve been a mean old devil,
 But not half so mean as you,
 And the minute that you get here, I will give my job to you.
 'Tl1 be ready for your coming,
 And I'll keep the fires all bright
 And I'll have your room all ready
 When the Tanks begin to fight.
 "For the Boys in Blue will get you
 I have nothing more to tell;
 Hang up the phone and get your hat And meet me here in He'll"

people in this county unable to help.
You who have sold cotton or tobac-
co or corn, mules or hogs, and the
hundreds of farm products at pre-
vailing prices can better afford the
purchase of Liberty Bonds than any
other class as whole. Heretofore
the farmers were not given an OPP
portunity of taking part in these
campaigns. They were of such short
duration that before the campaign
could be carried to the farmers it
had ended. But this time it is diff
ferept.
The Enterprise believes that Weak
ley county will go over the top in
subscribing her quota in the third
Liberty Bond sale.
And when the wars over and the
boys come marching home how glad
they will be to know that dad and
ma, uncle and aunt all helped them
to win freedoms victory by lending
the government some of their money
to carry on the war
And how glad we will be and how
cheerfully we can meet these brave
lads if we send the money that will
send the clothes and food and the
things they must have.
