No Call to pr. Jacobs.

No Call to Dr. Jacobs. l The prevalent impression that Dr.
 Jacobs of Houston, Tex, has been called
 to the pastorate of the South Highlands
 Presbyterian church is erroneous re-
 marked Frank V. Evans.
 This distinguished divine who occu-
 pied the pulpit of this church on the Sth
 instant, made a fine impression upon the membership, but no congregational ac-
 ton has been taken in the matter of cail- ing Dr. Jacobs to this pastorate "The Presbyterian church has demo-
 cratic form of government, and speaks
 and acts through it's membership. The congregation of the South Highlands church has the names of several distin- guished diyines under consideration for
 call to minister unto it's people, and Will
 Tn due time give expression to choice
 and extend 8 formal invitation" Tribute to Jenkin Lloyd Jones All Birmingham regrets to learn or the death of pr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones' said Dr J. H. Phillips yesterday. He was frequent visitor to Birmingham and Is kindly remembered by the great lyceum
 audiences he attracted.
 He was the soul of goodness and one of the purest and most genuine charac- ters have ever known. As a pacifist and member of the Ford peace expedi- ton, he aroused much opposition ahd rid icuie. Nevertheless he was great Amer ican and a genuine patriot.
 As a platform lecturer pr. Jones was genius Chicago will sadly miss his
 leadership for civic betterment, and his courageous and fiery attacks upon mu- niciral vice in all its forms. Lincoln center, the great civic and social institu- tion which he established, will find 1t Edifficult to obtain his successor Pecan Tree "Comes In.v T planted a pecan tree about 15 years ago on the side of chert hill and waited patiently for it to bear" said Hardy Brown.
 At last I am reaping the fruit for which I have long waited, as the tree is we'll loaded this season. I have heard
 much about how quick pecan tree will begin t opay dividends, but I have found by experience that one must not put too much stock in some of the stories he hears and reads concerning the short time needed to get results from planting oceans"
 Service of Boy Scouts. Few people in Birmingham seem to
 realize just what a service the Boy Scouts perform said B. c. Morgan, the scoutmaster.
 l "For instance, they see them out on pa | rade days holding the lines and keeping | the crowds back, and busy around ths l Red Cross headquarters, or serving in
 the Liberty Loan drives, but they do
 great deal of detail work which is never
 seen by the public. For instance, it will
 fall to their lot to put up all the posters 1 for the fourth Liberty Loan drive This means hard work. The city will be dis I tricted and it will be thoroughly done" l l.. F. NOrwood in City. l E. F. Norwood, press representa-

 remain in Alabama until after next
 Monday, when the Ringing circus will | give two performances in Birming- | ham.
 I The circus is meeting with good l business everywhere said Mir Nor
 wood, but, of course, it is not mat tter of making money these times SO much as 1t is holding the organiza- tion together. Increased costs are
 affecting the circus just as they are | affecting everything else. Our aggre-
 gation is certainly doing it's part in
 every way it can. Since the declaration
 of war more than 300 in our employ
 have gone into the service. Of course, l this includes laborers and workmcn, | but it shows how we are dbing our part. 1 One of our main difficulties these days is in getting common labor. With l 1t all however. Ringing Brothers have 2 great circus and one which the peo- pie of Birmingham Will be glad to see. 1t comes next Monday for an afternoon and night performance,'' Delighted With Job. T felt that did a good job today,' | said B. s. Samuels of the local United States employment service office yester- l day. This morning young man came l in the office and said he wanted a | clerical job. He had been in the army l in France, was gassed and discharged 1 from the service because of permanent l injuries. I sent him to one of the local | industrial plants and Il few hours later he called and thanked me. saving he
 got the job and although it does not
 pay him as. much as he formerly re- l ceived he is delighted with it." MAKE NEAT JOB OF IT
