PLAN FORMATION
 OF CLUB TUESDAY
B Invitations To Be Sent Out To Ensley
 Men
(Ensley Bureau.)

The formation in Ensley Tuesday of an Exchange club is being observed here with absorbing interest, and the indications are that the charter mem- bership will be filled at the initial meeting to be held in the dining hall of the Ensley Associated Merchants on Nineteenth street.
 Invitations to thirty-five prominent business and professional men of Ems ley will be sent out Monday morning, bearing the names of o. G. Gilley, Dr. Joe N. Carmichael and c. J. Donald, all of Fairfield. The three Fairfield citizens, appreciating the influence and accomplishments of the Exchange club of their city, have interested themselves in the formation of the local club, and will attend the conference Tuesday and explain to the Ensley prospects the gen. eral idea of Exchange clubs. The ex- pression is that the club is similar to the Kiwanis, Rotary and clubs of that kind, and that the Exchange club re- quirements for membership are essen tially the same as the two older lunch con organization.
 It is stated that the initiation fee is $20, one-half of which sum goes to the national organization, the remainder be- ing placed in the local treasury. The organization accepts two citizens from the same line of business, but only one from a single firm. The qualifica- tion and classification are similar to the Kiwanis club, it is stated.
 An Ensley committee, which has been interested in the formation of the Ensley Exchange club, will offer list of names to the Fairfield visitors, and from the number selected an applica- tion will be made for a charter to the state officers. Following the enroll ment of fifteen or more, it is stated that the charter will be issued and the club will be authorized to function without further preliminaries.
 The Kiwanis club of Ensley, as well as the Ensley Associated Merchants, have encouraged the formation of the Exchange club here, and it is believed

 Applications Due Tuesday-Applica- tions for the position of postmaster at Ensley must be in Washington Tues day night, according to the official examination bulletin. Requests for ap- pointment which reach Washington la- ter than that date will not be consid- cred, it Is said. The place has inter- ested ten residents to the extent of their asking for examination papers, and 1t is believed all of them will file applications. There will be selected three from the list for appointment, and enc of the three will be named to re- Aeve K. s. Hickman, who has served since June as acting postmaster.
 There is no disposition in Ensley to discount the announcement of The Age e-Herald last week that Charles o. Johnson will be appointed. He is republican and the only one who is assured of the support of Oliver D. Street of Guntersville, and without the latter, it is said, no person can hope to get the place. It is stated that the powers that be in republican circles have settled on MT. Johnson, and that it is said to be the end of it.
 Inasmuch as Mir. Hickman cannot get the place, for which he has been indorsed by all local organizations, there is feeling of satisfaction that man of the character and standing of Mir Johnson has been selected. He will be pleasing to local business in- terest it is believed.
 P. H. Tyler Leaves-P. H. Tyler of EnSley, president of the Alabama Jewel- CTS association, left Sunday for St. Louis to attend the meeting of the na- tional association.

Old Pasture Entertains.
The timid, bold, retiring, proud
You'll tind wnere'er you nnd q crowd.


Peter Rabbit.
1t was Midsummer and blueberries
were ripe in the Old Pasture No
where else did the blueberries grow
SO big, SO blue and SO plentiful. And
there were the raspberries ard the
blackberries and the thimbleberries.
So the Old Pasture entertained many
visitors. At no other time in all tho
year did SO many people visit the
Old Pasture. There were all kinds
Of people-big people, little people.
middle-sized people, people in feathers
and people in fur, and some who
wore neither feathers nor fur.
Not all were there after berries.
No. indeed. Some were there in the
hope Of catching others who were
there after the berries. The nesting
season for most of the birds was over
and their homo duties were ended.
There was no reason why they should
not spend as much time as they
choose in the Old Pasture. So those
who liked berries spent considerable
time there. Some of the Green For
est people who wear fur had children
big enough to follow them out into
the Great World, and so family par
ties visited the Old Pasture. So day
after day the Old Pasture entertained.
Old Jed Thumper, the gray old Rab-
bit. who had lived SO long in the Old
Pasture that he considered that it be-
longed to him, didn't like it. There
were altogether too many people
about So Old Jed Thumper kept
pretty close to his bull briar castle.
Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote,
who live in different parts of the Old
Pasture and through most of the year
do most of their hunting somewhere
else, now spent much Of their time
right there in the Old Pasture. Each
knew all about those family parties
where the berries grew, and each was
always hoping that he would have a
chance to catch some of the younger
members of those berry parties.
So it was that with so many in the
Old Pasture there were some queer
meetings. Peter Rabbit saw some of
these queer meetings. OF course.
Peter was Up there. You can trust
Feter to be where anything is going
on. Ore morning he happened to be
peeping out of -tangle be-
side an old cowpath. Looking up the
old cowpath, he saw Old Man Coyote
coming down. Lorking down the old
cowpath, he saw Reddy Fox coming
up. Neither hap get seen the other.
Peter wondereS what would happen
when they met, and he became quite
excited.
Down the old cowpath trotted Old
Nan Coyote. Up the old covpath
trotted Reddy Fox. There was a
little bend in the path which pre-
vented each from seeing the other.
Peter fairly hugged himself with ex-
citement as he saw that they would
meet right on that bend and right in
front Of where he was sitting. He
wondered if he would see a fight. I
am sorry to say that he rather hoped
he would.
Reddy Fox came around that bend

Artificial Silk.

"All is not gold that glitters"-and
all is not silk that rustles.
But that doesn't mean that the ar
tificial silks" such as the fiber
silk which you see in the stores
haven't most important place among
cloths.
Among its legitimate uses are: AS
dress trimmings. braids. neckties.
sweaters, scarfs and strawlike hat
trimmings. Sweaters of fiber silk"
are popular, and they are much less
expensive than those of real silk.
And stockings of fiber silk are prefer
able to cheap ones of real" silk, for
they not only are less costly, but
they wear better.
Your hat trimmings may be of arti-
fetal silk, too. The fibers are made
to adhere to each other by means of
gelatin-which means that the work
OF weaving is entirely eliminated. The
gelatin gives the material a slick,
leathery look.
II you want further economy In
silken hat trimmings, you can get
maline or silk tullc of the artificial
product sThis is made by merely
pouring the usual paste or pulp over
a nat surface, and then marking 1t
with engraved rollers. which give the
maline the look OF having been
woven. Such maline is both good
looking and cheap in price, and 1T
