am now serving in the capacity
 of field secretary of the State Council
 of Defense To me has been assigned
 17 counties of south Alabama to visit
 in the interest of community organiza-
 ton. MT. Hooper of the State Coun-
 cil of Defense is carrying out the re-
 quest of President Wilson and Secre-
 tary Lane in organizing the commit nity units. These units can be made a most effective means of securing ru- ral co-operation in all war work; they can also be made a cementing and Vii talizing force to develop community interest and community petterHieht after the war.
 If we can really help ourselves along lines of intelligence for the masses of people great gain comes. Country life in Alabama is too oe- void of variety and interest to make it desirable to people of social ha D. it's and intelligent ambitions. For this reason people leave the farms and crowd into the towns, feeling that life is too sshort to spend most of 1t in monotonous seclusion. These com munity organizations are first to do wa work and next to develop the SO cial and intelligent side of rural life, It is to be hoped the whole state will respond and that lasting good may come from the effort. MT. Hooper is doing a great work.
 | Cur rural sections would soon fill with desirable farmers if social and school conditions could be changed and benefited.
 | The cooperation and interest | of the country communities in war | work is an immense transformation A spirit of companionship has devel- oped and everybody feels common interest in everybody else. A com mon danger, common sorrow anu common sacrifice has made us feel a l common interest Public sentiment IS | crystallizing around patriotic duty | The person who is indiffirent to pa triotic duty now may certainly ex- pect to be shown up in his true Iisne l by those who are serving with neaf'
 and. hand. People are not wiiline 10 I staAd for indifference now, and op- position will certainly meet strong correction.
 STATE IS ON FIRE
 Birmingham has certainly set tht whole state of Alabama shining eN- ample of patriotic fervor, but Birmins'
 ham need not think the fires are no I is on fire. The glorious record Of Ala bama boys on the fields of France fills us and thrills us until every
 body wants to shout: Ready. Wha
 next?" and that is the slogan of th' community councils of defense.
 Down here in Houston county in thu southeast corner of the state is al organization of the whole county let by MT. R. c. Williams of Dothan. tia is simply superb. You can't beat it I Mir Williams is busy lawyer. yet h.
 is sacrificing business to carry on th' war work. He is a man of fine wis ion and organizing ability.

ers Have Novel Decoration on Auto

erS Have Novel decoration on AUTO
A delivery automobile passing
through the city Wednesday forenoon
created much envy and some admira-
ton on the part Of those who saw it,
for perched almost likelike and as if
about to spring from his perch was a
big bobcat on the hood OF the aatomo-
Bile. In the car were Walter S.
Capewell and H. b. Flewelling, both
of Bridgeport. Conn, who left their
homes Nov. II, for a hunting trip IN
the big woods Of Northern Maine.
They camped in the Deadwater re-
sior and during their stay travelled
over big section of the upper part
OF the State, even touching the Cana
dian border. The bobcat, which many
declared to be the largest they had
seen for some time. weighed 81
pounds. Besides that the hunters had
A. fine seven point buck and = small
spikehorn. Mr.. Flewelling got the
bobcat in a thrilling manner, shoot
ing him through the nose. These Con-
recticut men declare that the only
way to hunt is to take your altomo-
bile with you
