Weekly U-Boat Report is
 the Highest of Weeks

London, June 21. The we ekly list of British losses in torpedoed ships. which was issued yester- day, showed the highest total of many weeks; the number or ships sunk being comparable to the worst week since the ruthless U- boat campaign began. The re- tarns week by week for the last three months show that the U- boat activities run in waves. and it is assumed that this week is the crest of a period of superactivity noticed the previous week.
 The past week includes one day which is regarded as a record for the number of vessels lost. The situation, however, is not regard ed over pessimistically by naval men who insist that the admiral ty methods of fighting the sub- marines are constantly growing in efficiency.
 In support of this they point to the constantly increasing number of boats which escape the sub- marines. The Germans are re- sorting to every possible method of circumventing the patrols and t h e submarines requentl y change the zone of their opera tions.

Among the Farmers

i Ben Allen of the Allendale
 neighborhood, was passenger
 to Forrest City on Monday morn-
 ing.
 The first auto truck for prac tical use on the Brinkley roads is a Ford Smith form, a truck
 now being driven by L, E. Hicks in the Simmons livery and trans fer department. The fact that 1t does two or three times as much work in about half the time ot the waron and team plan, and ot less cost of upkeep is proof positive that we will gsoon have more auto trucks in use in the Brinkley territory a n d I'm anxious to see who will be the first farmer here to use one.
 J. R. Winkleys, one of our Cypress Ridge farmer friends, was in Brinkley a fewldays ago and reports his crop in perfect condition. He has 32 acres of cotton, 13 acres of corn with peas and in addition has his sorghum and navy beans. He says that heiis going to put in several acres ltof wheat for his own use this fall. Farm er Wrinkles is looking better than ever saw him.

ShiIo Notes
BY W. A. COOK

Rev. Henry Smith, one of our, esteemed missionaries toss Cuba was with us Sunday jiafternoon and preached an excellent ser mon. We were all filled with joy to have the opportunities tn at we are being presented with of late. Bro. Smith sewas the pas tor for Shiloh church in 1903, which was his first year in the ministry and he did a great work that year. Later he. was sent as a missionary toiCuba, where we know that a man of his ability, such big andlgenerous Christian heart has done2a noble work for his Master and the Cubans.
 It is deal of satisfaction to note how our community did in behalf of the Red Cross. It was some grand work at Shiloh Thurday night in securing funds and subscriptions for that noble organization, which reached about $2, 800 in Pine Ridge. As Supt. ot Shiloh Sunday School, 1 it was the pleasure and honor of the writer to see our. .lsplendid school make donation through our big hearted s. s. workers, a collection and subscription to- gether of Sl00. Hurrah for Shiloh. We are prouds of the work in every respect fand we feel that old Monroe County will be numbered among the best in the state.
 I am going to ask the Editor for space in his wide spread and noble paper to publish the few names that had the opportunity to enlist in honor of our s. s. contribution and I want to ask the members that l did not get to see, not to think hardsof me as I did not have time to canvass the entire school.
 Those subscribing $l0Awere F A Black and Jay Grimes. Those for S5 were R E Davenport, Harry Lerox, j F Oberg, W A Green, L T Harris, CIV Malone, W A Cook. Those off $2 50 are J T Robertson, Richard Mills, Berry Chism, E N Meridith, Fannie Lenox. Julious Parke, Will Warrington, Barney
 Robertson, John Hartsell. Those
 of S2 was A N Hartsell. Those
 of $1.50 were Il c Johnson. Wal lace Bullacks. Those of $1 were w L Stuberfeld, Sam: Parke
