for the present. The cane and
some rice crops could take NOR.
rain, but in general, we had suff-

repeated every eight or ten days,
the planters yet believe that the

MEN COOKS WANTED
FOR SHORT SERVICE

The problem of providing cooks
for the draft army for the period
between the time of assembling
the men at the 16 cantonments and
the selection of cooks from among
those drafted has been put up at
the hotel men of the nation, and
they have undertaken the task. In
all 3840 cooks are wanted for the
Is cantonments. For the canton.
ment for this district 24O cooks are
wanted.
w. N. Trulock of Pine Bluff,
Ark, has been designated as chair
man of the committee to provide
cooks for the Little Rock canton
ment, where $4,000 men from Ar.
kansas, Louisiana and Mississippi
will be assembled. Mr.. Trulock
is organizing the hotel men of the
three states, who will serve with
him gratuitously in performing
this service.
Two classes of cooks are wanted:
Glass A, Goods who are capable of
giving instruction, and men capa-
BILE of chasing as class B cooks
men competent to fry, roast. make
stews, bake biscuits and pies, and
make puddings. Glass A men will
be paid 1925 months. while class
B cooks will receive $50 month.
Board and lodging and transporta-
tion will be furnished by the gov
ment. The men are asked to serve
only six weeks.
There are men in this communi-
ty capable of rendering this SER
vice to the nation. They may not
be cooking for a livelihood, but
they can cook. They are not eli.
gible for army service, but they
are patriots and doubtless will well
come the opportunity to render
this service to the nation.
Uncle Sam wants his men fed
they must be fed, and fed we'll.
Until the armies are organized, the
draft men would go hungry unless
patriotic men volunteer to serve as
cooks for six weeks, and be paid at
the rate of $125 or $50 a month.
The men who render this service
are as good patriots as those who
bear arms. Because they are do
ing what they can.
If you would render this service
to the nation, write Mr.. Trulock at
Pine Bluff, Ark, at once. You
stipulate the period you will serve,
and can be back home in six weeks.
