if we abolish these camps and make
every one enlist, we have no class
legislation and can employ any kind
Of draft we wish. But I am sure
we will need no draft if all are given
equal opportunities.
The old saying about Sending a
fool to college and he is still fool
should be amended to read: They
make him an army officer"
Let our college men show as much
manhood as the rest and take their
chance as pTivates; then we will need
no draft which will take about two

THE PUBLIC FORUM
SLICKER TRAINING CAMPS

apply for enlistment" at the Off
GERS training camps. &C, there, stay
about three weeks and don't try to
make good, Then you can come back
a hero, you can yell for selectiVe
drafting, knowing that your train
ing will exempt you, as we do not
draft officers.
Lindsay Garrison, when sec'y Of
war, said something about getting
men into the army under false pre-
lenses" If enlisted men will be Civ
en- commissions, if capable, why
these training" camps.
They are gotten up solely to pro-
vide aIibis for those who wish to
evade service. If our college men
are so patriotic and brilliant, why do
they have to be cOddled and offered
commissions to get them to do their
bit If college men are so brilliant,
why is it men like Muggsy McGraw
are given bigger salaries to manage
major league ball teams when the
college stars can't even warm bush

in big league; it was their playing
ability that brought them to college.
There are hundreds of semi-pros
that can field as well as Eddie Collins,
but when they get hit their noodle
don't work as fast. There is where
Eddie's salary is earned. He thinks
fast. So it is on the battlefield. All
the enemy is trying to OUtguess you
all the time; if you make a mistake
you'll never live to make another.
Soldering is like any ball game; you
have to be able to do things instinc-
lively or you are planted in the bush
es for eternity.
The enlisted men call an officer
who came from West Point a shave
TAIL" those from civil life a mus

the training camps "sickers."

THE SUCCESSFUL MAN.-An
article pertaining to the higher edu-
cation appeared recently in The Day
Book 1t was splendidly written, an
appeal to the young man to make
something of himself so he might be
more in demand. Very good, but the
question arises, will higher education
bring about true happiness? No, not
unless it is properly used.
The most miserable creature alive
is the man who longs for the higher
education simply because it will en-
able him to crush those less FORUM
ate than himself. You have no doubt
met the person among a party of
friends who took all the Joy out of
the crowd because his greatest de-
sire and keenest pleasure came from
showing up the people who had a
lesser education. He makes as great
a hit as one of our famous musicians
would playing "The Wachtam
Rhine"
Education plus common sense is o.
K. An educated man can reap a
great reward in happiness, if he cares
to aid his fellow man. The educated
man has the opportunity to make a
fortune, but if he subOrdinates a
clear conscience and the paths to
happiness to his desire for money he
loses. If a man is sober, industrious
and has good sense enough to join
with his fellow workers, he then will
become strong enough through the
unions to demand better working

CARD OF THANKS

To the friends who came to US IN
our hour of trouble, and contributed
all that human kindness could sug-
gest, to help and comfort, we return
most heartfelt thanks, and although
such devoted friendship cannot re-
move the sad memories that linger
around the vacant chair in our home.
it brings into view the brightest side
of humanity, and throws the pure
light Of an unselfsh friendship into
darkened home May the day be
far distant when those friends who
gathered around US will need similar
attention, but when the time comes
may they receive the same full meas
ure of generous aid and tender sym
pathy they brought to our home when
death was an inmate there.
We wish to express our heartfelt
thanks, also to those sending flowers
and assisting in the music. May the
Lord bless you all and spare you such
sorrow is our sincere wish.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. N. Harris
Mrs Lillian Furry.

Mr. and Mrs. Lee Parker and Fern

The best thing we have to write
about this week is the Union Revival
meeting conducted by Rev. w. {.
Norman. The meeting began on the
3rd of July and will continue till af-
ter the 23rd of July Mr.. Norman IS
a very able preacher, The interest
in the meeting is growing and the at
tendance is increasing, the house was
full Sunday in the morning and IN
the evening No one can afford to
miss hearing Mr.. Norman. To lis
ten to his sermons will do us all good.
Don't fail to hear him. Next Sunday
at D. m he will preach to the women
and girls. Mothers be sure to come
and bring your daughters. He will
help YOU. In the afternoon on Sun
day July D, he will preach to the men
and boys only, no women wanted at
this hour Fathers if you never in
vited your sons to go to church with
you before, do it now. You all need
to hear him. You will profit by hear
ing him. Come fof, the good you will
get from it and not for the sake Of
curiosity Make a start in the right
direction. You viii regret it some
time if you do not.
1t will soon be time for the schools
to begin. Children you had better
hunt up your books and brush the
dust off them. You know you haven't
studied any since school closed. Take
a little review of the work you did last
school. You will likely have forgot
ten something, and few hours study
each day now might help you make
grade this year. A little mental eX-
ercise before school begins will help
you to pick up your school work with
out much trouble. It is just as nee
essary to begin school work gradually
after spending your vacation doing
farm work as it was to begin farm
work gradually after school closed,
So take mental exercise before your
school opens so you will be prepared
to do hard school work. Now do this
it is right. Parents give the children
time and encourage them to make this
preparation for it will protect their
health as well as help them with
their studies

Our friend, the Rogers Democrat
now "kids" the censor with the fol-
lowing blissful filler" The Demo
crat only recently received word
from the censor to delete the stor-
les of troop trains passing through
Rogers. The Democrat very grace
fully acquiesed; either gracefully OF
otherwise. At any rate below is the
latest "deleted' report from Rogers
as to the movement of troop trains:
eve are told that a train load
of folks went thru Rogers Tues
day or some other day this week.
One man said that from a dis
lance they looked like soldiers.
We don't know whether they were
white, tan or striped We don't
know whether they were going
somewhere or just riding around.
We don't know whether they will
go to France or over into Madi-
son county In fact, we'd make
an ideal witness for the other
side because I'VE don't know
nothin' and don't want to know
nothin'p Send this news item to

vomiea We revolyed our ponderous
intellect several times before we
thought out the reason underlying the
anti-hawk treatment. Finally it
can't to US that nux vomica being
powerful stimulant, causes the chic
kens to become so active the hawk
can't catch EN-. Should the hawk in
advertently get dose of the treat
ment there would very probably be
'doin's" in the poultry industry in
that locality. Fortunately it is not
necessary, or for that matter safe,
that we diyuIge the source of our dis
covery of this long felt want in rene
dies
The survey Of the Rogers to Hunts
vile highway has been made, and we
hope the enterprise will be a success.
Farmers along the route entered into
the plan enthusiastically If there
is anything this country needs more
than good roads it is more roads. Why
can't we people interested in the
Huntsville road raise a
road fund, get the state to contribute,
and then get a portion of the money
appropriated by the Shackelford Fed
eral Road Act? Everyone seems in
favor of better roads, but no effort is
made to get them. The trouble with
the present system is that no really
good work is ever done. The proper
knowledge of drainage is not brought
to the work, and the road is washed
away in a short time.

THE BAPTIST MEETING
CLOSED SUNDAY NIGHT

The meeting which had been in pro-
gress at the Baptist Church for three
weeks and conducted by the Blue
Mountain Evangelists closed Sunday
night. The first week of the meeting
was under the direction of Evangelist
T. T. Martin of Blue Mountain, Miss.
He was then followed by Evangelist
F. J. Harrel of Waco, Texas and SIN
ger Herbert Davis, of Arcadia, La.
These men all made many friends in
Springdale while here The preach
ing was of high order and the sing
ing was splendid
One of the peculiar features of the
meeting was the number of people
who held membership in some church
that were converted, declaring they
had never been converted. The
exact number of conversions has not
been ascertained Some were con-
verted away from the church and no
effort was made to keep the exact
number.
Sunday afternoon a baptismal SER
vice was held at Johnson. Pastor ".
I. Elledge baptized sixteen candidates.
Some are still waiting having been re-
ceived by the church for baptism.
Others are still out not having joined
any church. The church and COMM
unity as a whole was greatly helped
by the coming of these men to our

1000 MEN TO BE CALLED
Saturday Reported to Be Date of
Drawing-50 Per cent Exemp-
tons Probably Allowed

Washington, July 9-Unoficially
it was indicated today that $4,000 is
the number of men to be selected for
tht first national war army from the
millions registered June 5.
Probably twice that number of
names will be drawn, as the number
of exemptions to be allowed is esti-
mated at so per cent.
Next Saturday is understood to
have been the day fixed upon as the
date for the drawing although no an
nouncement has been made by the pro-
vost marshal generals office.
Another step in building up the
Consumption army was taken today
with the distribution of circular by
Provost Marshal General Crowder no.
tifying the registered men to be ready
to appear before the boards which will
conduct examinations and consider
exemptions.
How or when the government will
select the men to be examined is not
detailed in the circular, but it is re-
vealed that registration cards in each
county or city jurisdiction are to be
numbered with red ink and that ''as
soon as the drawing is complete lists
showing the order in which these red
ink numbers are drawn will be pub
lished in the press and will be posted
at the office of each local board"
The selection will take place in Wash
ington and the general presumption
has been that some device similar to
a jury wheel will be employed.
Exemptions are to be determined
by the local boards only for the pre-
viously announced specified causes,
such as the support of relatives, and
not for agricultural or industrial rea-
sons. Seven days after designations
are posted will be allowed for filing
claims. Then there will be an addi-
tional allowance of 10 days for filing
proofs and the board must decide
within three days after the proof is
filed.
When the case of any registrant
has been disposed of so far as the
local board is concerned, the names of
those not exempted or discharged will
be posted. Claims for exemption for
agricultural or industrial work must
be made within five days after such
posting and must 90 direct to the
higher board sitting for the judicial
district Appeals from the rulings of
local boards must be made within 10
days.
The circular does not cover the
summoning of the men for actual
service, pointing out that selection
and acceptance does not mean an I'M
mediate summons.
The steps registered persons should
take are set forth in great detail.
First the registrant is advised to find
out the location of the office of his
