ing Edgar found the robin on the
wlndowslll ready for Its breakfast
and all of that summer Edgar fed
nis pet and watched the robin and its
mate build a nest In the apple tree In
tne yard.
When three little robins came Mr.
Robin acted very Important and
would sit on the wlndowslll and cock
hie bead And torn It from side to
side as much as to say: "See my
little robins." He would fly to the
window, get his crumbs, fly tack to
the nest and give them to the little
ones, then fly back for more, ana
soon the little robins were fat and
strong.
Then the mother robin thought It
was time to teach them to fly ao she
gently pushed each one In turn out
of the nest and told them to stretcn
their wlnge and fly. In a few weeks
the birds had all flown away and the
nest was empty.
The next spring when Edgar saw
the first robin he said to his mother:
"I wonder where my robin Is?" The
next morning, however, when he
came down to breakfast there on the

The Army Bill and ,the South.
(Savannah News. )
At last congress has finished with
tha army bill which provides. In Its
chief features, for the selective draft
for army service of men from twenty
one to thirty years of age, inclusive,
for increased pay for soldiers and for
giving the president authorization to
enlist the Roosevelt "division" for
service In France.
The plan which the war department
will follow appears to be this: To
get all the national guard Into ser
vice and complete Its training, with
that of the regular army by Septem
ber 1, so that this first force can be
ready and out of the way of the
first force of 600.000 selected by
draft, which will probably be as
sembled on that date.
Secretary Baker's statement Tester
ay that "owing to the depleted state
of our supplies It will not be practl
cable to call out the first 500,000 men
until about September 1, so there will
be no appreciable Interference with
the labor supply of the country until
that date," is significant as Is also
his statement that "when these men
are called they will have to be con
tinuously trained with colors until
they are sent abroad. As the period
of training before they are sent
abroad will be at the best all too
short in Justice to the men it must
be intensive and continuous." It may
be expected that the first large force,
exclusive of tha engineer organizations
now being formed, to go to France
will not go before the late fall or
winter months and that if the war
continues Into next spring the Amerl-
an army on the battle line will be
big, well trained and active In the
918 "push."
The south apparently is going to
suffer from shortage of labor In the
next cotton picking season unless the
draft draws lightly on negro farm
labor. September, October and No-
ember are the busiest months In the
south and If 500,000 men are called
to the colors September 1 the south
is o-olng to lose some good cotton
pickers at the very beginning of the
nicking season.' Factories, too, are
going to be short handed because not
only their working forces largely rep
resented In the national guard but
also other members of their staffs will
be caught by the draft.
Pickers are going to be scarce be
cause of the fact that a large number
of negroes already have gone Into the
north and because the draft will
catch the negroes as well as white
men and a husky cotton picker of the
right age may not be overlooked by
the army officers who are picking sol
diers. These are facts which the
south will have to face, and It might
as well begin to get ready right now
to face them with the very best sort
of "preparedness" that Is posslble,

Amusement Is necessary as a tonlo
for the mentalities of people as much
so aa exercise is necessary for the
body. Therefore while the war situa
tion Is not to be regarded In light
vein and' to be given due considera
tion, yet to cloak one's self In an at
mosphere of gloom and not Indulge In
any character of. pleasure will be to
make the burden of distress heavier
and handicap the fighting forces of
every mortal. This Is no time to In
dulge In revelry of celebration as a
toast to war, but neither is it time
to shackle one'e being with gloom and
thus unfit mentalities for the big bat
