The Community Club

If iS always a pleasure to me to chron-
 'cle the successful achievements Of lS lol'nG men; of young clubs; of young
 aideavors; for youth--evanescent i-seElng. ehaning, bewitching. adoE- able, youth-is the most interesting thing in all the wide wide world.
 The Community club of Birmingham comes in the catalogue of youthful things; not Tn point of existence, because it is the oldest socbal-civic club in Bir- minghaIn, but because it's membership it's personnel, answers to the call of youth: because young men-with all the VlSor of their splendid young manhood taen yoseate dreams of youth, their high ambitions. and their inimitable energy conlpaSo Ine club and carry on their youthful shoulders burdens of as grea. importance ill the matter of civic anu socAsl work as the most august and digni fled clubs in America
 III speaking of young men, I love t. revert to the r9tort courteous, made |, !, Pitt to Walpole when he was accuses Of the atroclous crime of being a young man" for in the inimitable way it ie told by Samuel Johnson. which he de clares is founded upon "sone note CT statement of tho actual speech-ths, speech 1 wrcSse in a garret in Exeter street nothing surpasses it in the litera- tare of the a,.es-

 had the pleasure a few day ago of talking to Mir. Edmund c. Armes, the popular and efficient young president of that popular and efficient young club. 'The Community club and while have always felt that this organization is one of the most important and is doing as effective work as any club in the city. still there were some things I did not know about 1t and Mir. Arnles was kind enough to en1ighten me.
 MT. Armes is a graduate of Sewanee 1s13 and was president of his chapter of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity, and also secretary to Vice Chancellor Wiggins of the University of the South during his college days.

YOU CAN'T
 DODGE IT Once in Awhile Your Blood Clogs and Your Vitality
 Runs Down THEN TAKE PEPTO-MAN-
 GAN You'll Pick Up Again Quickly With Plenty of Red
 Blood Corpuscles

Physicians nowadays take a blood test when you are run down. They count the red corpuscles in your blood If these are too few they give you a tonic for your blood. It happens right along. They are always on the lookout for indications of weak blood.
 Why? Because they know when your blood is weak your resistance to dis ease is low. Your vitality and energy quickly run down.
 You can tell when your blood Is weak. You look pale, feel tired. You are not i'll, but you don't feel right. You don't want to do things. That is the time to take the well-known tonic, Pepto- -Mangan.
 Pepto-Mangan builds red blood cor puscles. Physicians have prescribed it for thirty years.
 Pepto-Mangan is sold in liquid and tablet form. The medicinal value Is exactly the same. Take either kind you prefer. But be sure you get the genuine Pepto- -Mangan--'Gude's." The full name, "Gude's Pepto-Mangan,' '' should be on the package.-Adv.

 The Community club during the war" MT. Armes said, took an active part in everything; those who could not go overseas served at home in the Italian army, of the Allied armies in the war drives, while many were more fortunate and were able to go and do valiant work
 over there. Our Christmas work has always been an important part of our programme, playing Santa Claus as the Community club does to the needy chii- dren of Birmingham; we get autos, fiji. them with gifts, baskets of goodies ant all sorts of nice things for the little poor children and we distribute these at Christmas time"
 The slogan of the Community club as suggested by one of the finest and most successful young men in this community and one of the best friends the Com. munity club has-Mr. Reese Adam sogl--is
 builders of men and that is precisely what the club stands for said MT, Arme. ''Csharacter building, social build hg, civic bslhldisIy. The college boy whose mind and habits es a citizen are uniformed is given the chance by the Community club to become identified with the best interests of the community and then, too, the social life of the club, the weekly lrmcheSns. the two brilliant events of the year which we give our Christmas Eve party at che Country club, an annual affair, and a similar part. during the summer season. Last summUi at Roebuck these entertainments gave the touch of social life which the mem bers enjoy so much"
 Our work is cooperative with all the movements of the Boys club, the Boy Scouts, and everything pertaining to boys" MT. Armes said. and we are, of course, lined up with and interested in the t-Tuberculosis campaign now in progress and everything fine like that. "
 'Our younger members at a great sac rifice to their business interests MT. Arnes said, participate in the various drives; of course the older men own their business and can leave at any time to do charitable and civic work, but the man who fills a. position makes q genuine sacrifice when he gives his time and attention to these things. but our members gladly do it whenever it ts pos sible.'
 ''The club membership is selectiva" Mr. Arrnes said. "A board passing on the names eligible for membership. The mem- bers are not enrolled as other clubs are one from each profession-and man must live in Birmingham at least six months and show himself capable and trustworthy before he can become a member of the Community club. The re- suit is that our personnel is one of the finest bodies of young men that could be found in any community. We have certain rules which must be observed and when these are violated membership is canceled; but this, of course, in so in frequent that 1t would mark precedent were it to happen"

 MT. Arnes president of the Com nunity club, like all the 125 members of this big organization. Is never happier than when talking about the club and in speaking of it to me he said:
 The Community club holds the record of being the oldest se.mi-social, semi civic club in Birmingham, having been organized five years ago Our member ship includes men between the ages of nineteen and thirty-five, and has for it's primary mission the fitting of the young man just out of college for citizenship It bridges the chasm as it were, between college days and responibility; sort of continuous fraternity as it were, giving the man just from college the social and civic environment which is so es- sential just at that period of his life.''

Search for Finer Wool.

The possibility of developing new
sources of fine wool has been sug-
gested. Referring In Nature to new
search for the golden fleece, Prof. J.
C. Ewart of the University Of Edin-
burgh states that the first dolnesticat-
ed sheep in Europe were undoubtedly
introduced about 1000 B. c.. and that
nearly pure descendants of this an
cient Neolithic breed-a urial, Owls
viegnei-still survive on the small un-
Inhabited island of Soay (Sheep is
tand), near St. Kilda. Crosses be-
tween Sony and SOuthdown sheep
yield excellent mutton, with wool Of
remarkable strength and quality; and
the late discoveries indicate that
crosses Of the urial with other wild
types may yield still finer and more
beautiful wool. These discoveries in
clude that of wool forming the inner
coat OF several Of the wild sheep Of
Asia. This wool is longer than that
Of the Soay sheep, and decidedly finer
than and quite as white as superf1ne
Australian merino, regarded as the
Anest and whitest wool in the world.

SALTWATER COMMUNITY
MARKET VOTES INCREASE

The annual meeting of the Still
water Market Co., was held last week
Tuesday in Community Hall, and it
was a largely attended and enthu-
siastic event.
The annual report showed the
Market had done over $5O9,OOO
worth of business in 1919, and
though the year had not been quite
50 profitable as former years, owing
to the Higher prices paid the farm
ers, and the increasing overhead ex-
pense, the year turned out on the
right side of the ledger.
Two new directors were elected:
George E. Munkel and A. E. Morri-
son of Copas, which gives Copas, that
growing branch, representation on
the board. L. Simonet and E. B.
Render were elected to succeed
themselves.
1t was voted to declare the usual
6 per cent dividend, land the checks
have already been passed out, making
every recipient happy.
It was voted to increase the capital
stock to $4,000, and to increase the
amount OF Indebtedness permissible
to that sum.
The enormous volume Of business
transacted on a paid-in capital Of
about only $4,000, was wonderful,
but it was the opinion of everyone
that more stock must be sold, to in
crease the company's funds on which
to do business, and it was left to the
directors to devise ways and means
to sell this stock, but one thing is
certain, it Will be done by the farmer
members themselves.

It seems that japanese were begin

philanthropists, and some fine Japa-
