 This party is being sent out by the Commanding Officer of the Arkansas Recruiting District at Little Rock in an effort to secure approximately LOGO men from this state in the shortest possible time.
 Because of the important part the Navy is playing in the present crisis, it is the desire of the Department to secure sufficient number of recruits for im- mediate training, so as to provide full crews for the ships shortly to go in commission and those that are being built.
 For young man who is ambitious there is no better way to serve his country and at the same time learn a trade, or become proficient in the one he has, than by joining the Navy. There are some fifty odd trades used in the Navy, and if man has no trade when he enters he is given an opportu- nity to learn one. The lowest rate of pay today is 1882 50, which is further increased as the recruit becomes profic- tent. Men without trades may enlist in several branches, but the ones offer ing the quickest opportunities for ad- vancement are those of apprentice sea- alan and fireman third class, in which men without trades or previous experi- ence can enlist.
 According to the recruiting officer, men have advanced to petty officers af. ter being promoted from the ranks to be commissioned officers. There are men in the in the Navy today who en- listed as apprentice seamen and who are now commissioned tfieers drawing pay as high as $3,000. The same op- portunities that these men have had are being offered to every man who enlists. The ages for enlistment are IS to 35.
 The recuiting party will make the post office in the towns to be visited in this section their headquarters. Every young man in this country is urged to take advantage of this opportunity to enlist and they are requested to read the schedule of the party and to go to the city in this county the party will visit nearest their homes. The date the party will be nearest to this point and the city they will visit, is given in the published itinerary in this story,
