Shaw, who has charge of the recruiting station for the U. S. Army at this city, is very much grati fied by the way young men of this section of the state are showing their patriotism by enlisting in Uncle Sam's service. During the past six days there has been an applicant for each day, and just three, or half the number have been accepted. It is considered a good showing when one-half of the men who offer are accepted. This is above the average, for it takes a good man, phys ically, to enlist for service in the army. Sergeant Shaw states that he is more than pleased with the work that 1 e has done here. The number of en listments is much larger than it is in i ome cities of a larger size. It is the Sergeant's intention to visit one or FORT WORTH Hearst News Service.

He will also do a lot of advertising. Among the towns that he will visit will likely be Ellisville and Laurel. Speaking of enlistments Sergeant Shaw states that more from the country join Uncle Sam's service than from the cities and towns. He accounts for this by the belief that there are very few loafers in the coun try and if the young men of the coun try communities can't get work, they will not loaf and hence they join the service, and make good soldiers.
