teer right now; can’t you folks fix
it up so I can take a hand in the
scrap ?”
Thus quoth Henry R. Pair, a
jovial bachelor, planter and man
about town from McDonough, Ga.,
as he anxiously questioned the re
cruiting officer at the army re
cruiting station in the federal
building.
“You see, it’s this way. I’ve
got a farm down in Henry county
that don’t take up much of my
time and after I’ye looked it over
every morning I’m off duty for the
balance of the day, with nothing
to do but meet good-lookin’ girls.
There’s about seventy Henry
county boys coming to Camp Gor
don this week and I’ve told ’em
that I was coming along, but since
they got to talkin’ about raisin’
the age limit nobody has been al
lowed to volunteer, so the local
board downfhere says.
“I’m 44 years old and this new
draft will catch me, but I want to
get in now and go along with
those boys. And another thing,
the way things are goin’ over yon
der just now it looks like there
won’t be anything left for us to
do unless we get' busy right now.
How about takin’ me right now
and save the local board a lot of
trouble registering me next
week ?”
Mr. Pair was informed that until
the present orders are altered,

“Well, I suppose I’ll have to go
back and wait ’£ while till Uncle
Sam says ’Let’s go,’ but if they
