Of greater prosperity. It means the
expenditure of between two and three
million dollars a month here when he
camps are established next fall.
In the meantime, there is a great
task confronting the quartermasters

There are to be 1850 buildings, two
stories high, each capable of shelter

to accommodate 12S patients.
There are 1000 women in Little
Rock now engaged in making Red

The registration of the military eli
gibles of Pulaski county was com.
pleted without cost to the govern.
ment. This is true of a majority Of
the counties, practically all of the
registrars being volunteer. The task
of summarizing the registrations by
age and exemptions has been a stu
pendous one, and although the totals
were available within "a hours after
the close of the booths, the summar-
izations required in some instances
nearly two weeks to complete. The
work was done by the office employees
of county officials in most cases, and
they had to look after their regular
work besides. In Pulaski county the
clerks worked on the cards at night,
preparing them for the final report.
Every man working on the job in
Pulaski county donated his time,
which would have amounted to sew.

The law providing for the inspection
of all weights and measures is being
enforced and it is a violation of the
law to use any that have not been
officially sealed. The peculiar fact is
that of 1900 inspected 400 were con
demned as inaccurate, and of these 95
per cent were over weight or eXces-

tanned by the merchant instead of the
