COOKS WANTED FOR NEW ARMY
Here's Chance III Serve Country tor
Short Tii1nsaak ssoud Pay.

Short Tiirnsaas stssood Pay.
The problem Of providing cooks for
the draft army for the period be-
tween the time of assembling the men
at the sixteen environments and the
selection Of cooks from among those
drafted has been put up to the hotel
men of the nation, and they have un-
dertaken the task. In all 3840 cooks
are wanted. For the cantonment for
this district 240 cooks will be requir-
ed.
w. N. Trulock. of Pine Bluff, Ark,
has been designated as chairman OF
the committee to provide cooks for
the Little Rock cantonment, where
$4,000 men from Arkansas, Louisl-
ana and Mississippi will be assembled.
Mr.: Truloek is organizing the hotel
men Of the three states, who Will
serve with him gratuitously IN per-
forming this service.
Two classes Of cooks are wanted
Glass A, cooks who are capable OF CIV
inp instruction, and Class B, cooks
competent to fry, roast, make steWs,
bake biscuits and pies, and make pud-
/ ~
dings. Glass A men will be paid S125
month, while Class B cooks will re-
ceive $50 month. Board and lodg-
ing and transportation will be furnish
ed by the government. The men are
asked to serve only six weeks.
| There are men in this community
capable of rendering this service to
the nation. They may not be cooking
for livelihood, but they can cook
They are not eligible for army ser
vice, but they are patriots and doubt
less will welcome the opportunity te
render this service to the nation.
| Uncle Sam wants his men fed-the.
must be fed, and fed we'll. Until thu
armies are organized, the draft mer
would go hungry unless patriotic meI
volunteer to serve as cooks for 81:
weeks, and be paid at the rate O
1925 or 500 month.
The men who render this serve
are as good patriots as those Wn
!. hear arms. Because they are dom
what they can.
If you would render this service
: the nation, write Mr.. Trulock at Pin
Bluff, Ark, at once. You stipuiatt
the period you will serve, and can b
back home in six weeks.

Preparing to House Force in France.

With cantonments and ship sched-
ules not yet out Of the way, southern
pine mills are now being called on TO
furnish material for the housing OF
the American expeditionary forces in
France. Big timbers began moving
last week from various points in the
south to certain unannouneed sea-
ports on an initial order for 2,7oo,-
600 feet just placed by the govern
ment with the Southern Pine Emer-
gency Bureau. These timbers are
part Of a 100000 foot purchase OF
wood wanted abroad for wharves and
docks, railroads, bridgework and ter
lminal construction. Plans drawn by
architects of the War Department nc
Washington call for the construction
in France in the near future OF i'm
mense storage warehouses for the &C
cumulation of foods and equipment
for the United States armies, ammun1-
tion depots, and an elaborate system
of barracks mess halls, kitchens, sta
bles, sheds and outbuildings, which
will be increased in size as the number
of the overseas forces grow.

Two States Furnish Sulphur Supply.

More than 90 per cent of the native
sulphur now produced in the United
States comes from deposits in Louisi-
ana and Texas, according to Philip 8.
Smith, of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, but deposits of sulphur
that have been or might be product
i've occur in Wyoming, Nevada, Utah,
California, Colorado, Oregon, ana
Alaska. -
Louisiana and Texas apparently
produce enough sulphur to supply
even an extraordinary demand, for
the combined output of these two
states, although the production has
not been vigorously pushed, has 90
greatly exceeded the amount sold

accumulated.

Crossbar taffetas, in soft weaves,
made up in simple designs, are among
the unpretentious afternoon gowns that
make an instant appeal to most wom-
en-. There are several models of this
character among almost every repre-
sentative showing of spring styles. The
silks appear in all the colors used this
season, with crossbars in fine lines of
white. They look like fine ginghams
translated into silk. Designers take
their cue from this suggested likeness
and sort of playful resemblance to
an apron is evident in some of the new
dress models.
A typical frock of crossbar taffetas
Is shown in the accompanying picture.
1t is one piece, but has the effect of
an Overdress and skirt. There is q
panel extending the length of the dress
from neck to hem at the front and one
at the back. In the skirt portion, the
panels have a plait at each side, but
In the bodice this is omitted. At each
side of the skirt larger pockets pro-
claim the frock as mindful of fash
Ions requirements. They are gathered

Two Little Girls Came Walking By
thing better than a tea party, for I've
a new set of dishes for Gyp and Pat"
added Helen.
So the little Girls and the Dogs all
played together. The Dogs did their
tricks and the little Girls laughed and
clapped.
Then the Dogs played with balls
while the little Girls played with their
Dolls.
When it came time for the tea-party,
the little Girls sat by a small blue
painted table, and the Dogs had cush-
ions to sit on.
They had tea, which was mostly
sugar and milk, but it was good and
hot and it had a very pretty tea color.
Then they had delicious bread and
butter and jam. And large bowls of
milk for the Dogs. Gyp and Pat also
had fine chop bone apiece.
1t was certainly a very jolly little
tea party, and when Dorothy had to
leave she said, ''It was all because our
Dogs were playing together that we
decided to have this little party, and
it has been such fun"
Yes" said Helen. "Our Dogs know
when it's time to have a party, don't
they?"
And the Dogs wagged their tails and
barked as though to say, eve know
when to have parties"
