HIGHER CLASS OF
MEN ENLISTING IN
THE REGULAR ARMY

Washington. Feb. 9.-"We have all
commented on the fact that the char
acter OF the recruits now being brought
into the service Is much better than
that we were. getting four or five
months ago. The men are little
older. more mature and, generally.
more intelligent; There is quite
Infringing OF former service men
among them; men who had service
during the late emergency, and who
have some knowledge of what We
are trying to do with soldiers"
Major General james G.. Harbord,
commanding general OF the end dlvis-
ion. expressed the above opinion at
the conclusion OF the recent intensive
recruiting campaign which brought
his division to full strength.
This verdict Is seconded by reports
from the Fifth Division at Camp
Jackson, South Carolina, which has
also been filled by the general re-
crulting service OF the army, and
from other organizations throughout
the country which have been the reei-
pients Of recent recruits.
From TT. Dupont Delaware. the
following report. commenting on the
new men. has been received by Major
General p. c. Harris. the adjutant
general OF the army: THE type Of
men who are re.enlisting and enlist
ing is particularly pleasing, The ma
jority OF them are non-commissioned
officers. technical sergean,s and men
nF As.A In sFan.Rnl o,
number Of them held commissions dur
ing the war. Needless to say, the
morale is booming sky high"
War department officials are in.
clined TO attribute this Improvement
In the quality OF recruits TO the desire
on the part OF many Young men 10
learn paying trades or TO complete
their education along other lines.
There has been no change in the
regulations governing enlistment in
the army with view to raising the
physical or mental requirements"
said Colonel Charles II. Martin. Off
Ger In charge OF recruiting, when
asked 10 assign a reason for this im-
provement. Recruiting officers have
been instructed TO adhere strictly to
the present regulations but no effort
has been made 10 select recruits. The
only requirement necessary has been
that they pass the physical examna-
ton and are deemed suitable raw ma.
terial for the army. believe the
conditions commented on by General
Harbord and others are due to the
fact that the country has seen what
the army can do toward educating
its young men and fitting them not
only TO be useful instruments OF ma
tional defense but TO return TO civil
life better patriots and better pro-
ducers. No other reason can account
for the strong appeal which the army
now has for the youth OF the country
as is evidenced by the fact that we
have been securing more than thous-
and recruits a day"

COTTON GROWERS OF
CIR All A NJ WOODFORD
JOIN COUNTY BRANCH
STATE ORGANIZATION

A large and enthusiastic meeting
of cotton growers at Graham and
Woodford yesterday and last night,
added quite a number Of new names
to the rolls of the Carter county
branch of the association.
The state organizer is well pleased
with the progress made and states
that he has no fear of obtaining more
than Carter county's quota as fixed
by the state committee.
Carter county was counted upon for
a minimum of 700 members and 1000
bales of cotton. With the work not
one-fourth finished nearly half the
required number has been secured
and the organizer states that they
will go over the top with numbers
far in excess Of what the state or
gan2ation expects.
Work at the beginning was slow as
farmers did not understand the propo-
sition thoroughly, but once they have
been shown" they not only sign the
contract themselves but become mis-
sionaries for the organization.
Reports from over the state indi-
cate that the orgasization in Oklaho-
ma is already an assured fact and the
outlook for the cotton grower begins
to hook brighter already.

THE LIFE OF JOSEPH
TOPIC FOR EVENING
LESSON, BROADWAY
BAPTIST CHURCH

No character in fiction has so many
thrills in it as the life of Joseph.
Beloved Of his father; hated of his
brethren; a dreamer of dreams; a
victim of the cruel slave traffic of
his day; bondsman in Egypt; the
object of the lust of his mistress; un-
justly cast into prison; forgotten by
those whom he had befriended; re-
membered of God, miraculously set
free; made prime minister of Egypt:
the benefactor Of the world and the
saviour Of his own kin folks. his life
furnishes a romance Of Providence
and illustrates the truth of the mys.
terious utterance of Paul more than
a millennium later--"all things work
together for good to them that love
God"
Behind our life the Weaver stands
And works His wondrous will;
We leave it all in His wise hands,
And trust His perfect skill.
Should mystery enshroud His plan,
And our short sight be dim,
We will not try the whole to sean,
But leave each thread to Him."
The life of Joseph will be the sub
ject of the Bible Training School al
the Broadway Baptist church this eve
ming at 1880. There were about 300
present last Wednesday evening. The
school is open and free to all desiring
to study the matchless book-Tht
Bible.
