Here was practical confirmation OF
scientific discovery which a group
of American Caribou hunters could
have given to the world several years
before Stephanson did.
And along comes another in the

pauses and surveys the group.

And so does your. Don't think

This bit of sentiment, spoken At a
reunion of Americans who had fought
thru one war and were entering on a
second struck me very impressiyely.
And the surroundings. Met together on
the extreme frontier of America. Way
down in the tropics, in an environ
ment entirely foreign as far from the
ideals of Plymouth Rock in sentiment
as it was in sea miles; with the twink
ling harbor lights off to the right, and
the foreign looking people all around,
this meeting of American boys, and
exchange of American ideas would
have seemed unreal only for the pres
ence of the boys themselves-the boys
who did not stay at home. One was
from Texas, one from Connecticut and
the other from Hoboken, sometimes
called a state by itself.
Some day there will arise an Ameri-
can Kipling who will immortalize the
traditions and character of the modern
American Army and Navy The field
is rich, and only awaiting the coming
of the man who is big enough TO
handle big subject.

II is propable that the full war
strength of 100000 for the Regular
Army will be reached this week. But
Captain N. NJ. Cartmell, in charge Of
recruiting in Arkansas, has received
no orders TO discontinue, nor are any
such orders expected On the contra
ry, recruiting for the Regular Army
is TO be pushed as strong as ever, for
there will be a constant need for more
men to keep the various units up to
their maximum strength. For some
time, the average number of recruits
throughout the country has been about
1000 daily, aside from the great num-
ber enlisting in the Navy, the National
Guard and the numerous other brach-
es of the service. Captain CaTtmell
has been averaging fifteen or twenty
a day in the Little Rock district, which
includes the whole state. During the
last few weeks many of the recruits
have been men of the selective draft
age who realized that they had no ex-
emptions and who preferred to volun-
teer rather than be drafted All men
of draft age are eligible to volunteer
until they are called by their local
boards for examination.

A. d. McNair, of the United States
Agricultural forces, recently made a
railroad trip through one of the rich
est sections of the state. He made a
casual survey of the fields he passed.
and noted that the farmers using one
horse plows for the cultivation of their
crops out-numbered the two-hOrse
plows five to one. He estimates that
if all the farmers now using one-horse
plows would use the two-horse cult
Vators, they would release not less
than 10000 men for other work and
would greatly increase agricultural
efficiency.
