TRAINING MAKES
 STRONG MEN OF YOUTHS

Little Rock, Oct. 9.-ls is fair eX- change to take weak chested, spindle shanked boy and give in return a man?
 You mothers who have sent your sons to Camp Pike need have no fear for the welfare of your loved one. He is coming back to you a masterpiece wrought out of the rather queer pieces of humanity you sent to be done over by master workmen, headed by Major General Samuel D. Sturgis.
 Tempered sons they might have been at home, but when they reach Camp Pike they are men, and are ex- pected to act as such. None have yet appeared who have other ideas of military life. All reports with a pur- pose and within one month from the day they are a magnificent bit of a fighting machine that will carry Old Glory to it's victory for Democracy.
 If the folks back home could spend few minutes in the headquarters of Maj. Gen. Sturgis any fears for the welfare of their kinsman would wither and fade away. This man, responsible for the seasoning of over 40,000 men, and whipping them into shape to take their place in the trenches in Europe, is more a father to a big family, and he does not rely upon the officers of the camp to keep him informed as to the condition of these men.
 Every day Maj. Gen. Sturgs drives over the camp, he talks with the men he meets in his rounds, and he is as fully advised of conditions as are the company commanders. Maj. Gen. Sur gis is not above drilling the men him self if he sees a chance for improve ment, if he can spare the time, and he always has time to make a correction or two if he sees it in passing.

SUGGESTIONS TO
 COTTON FARMERS

The state produced 1,134,O00 bales of cotton in 1916, worth approximate ly $100,000,000 It is safe to estimate that on such crop no less than S5,- 100000 would have been saved by ob- serving the six cotton "donts" by A. E. Ayres, cotton specialist, University of Arkansas:
 Don't let open cotton remain in the field.
 Don't harvest any more trash than can be avoided.
 Don't mix inferior cotton with that of better quality.
 Don't pile picked cotton on the ground in the open.
 Don't gin damp cotton.
 Don't allow baled cotton to take the weather.
