II Is impossible 10 say much about
the plot. except that there was not
enough 20 spoil the tradition OF
musical comedy. The scenery was
extremely simple. and so the boys
had more than the average amount
OF work 20 make the audience for

Camp Pike Notes

and on the streets of Little Rock last week it must have looked as though it had rained second lieu tenants. During the week 1,500 | officers from the various Third | Officers Training Schools of the country arrived here for assign ment among the new men that | are now in camp, and among the I17,OO0 that will arrive the latter part of the. month. Itis a busy | time in all parts of the camp and the warm weather helps one real ize that summer and sweat are quite one and the same thing.
 Word comes from New York that the Y. M. c. A. will ask for one hundred million dollars when l the fall drive for funds begins. 1 One of the most potent reasons for the increase in the estimate for "" work in France is the fact that so much of it must be done among small units. A di- vision of less than 3O,0O0 men may De scattered among 30 to 50 small villages, and if the "" is to serve these soldiers with any degree of satisfaction there must be one or more secretaries in ev7;; cry village. Red Triangle men who have been used to working ip the great cantonments of this country such as Camp Pike will find conditions very different in France. While court martial reports have not heretofore been refer red to in these letters, it will be of interest to all who have reIa tives and friends in the army to know of one special instance here at Camp Pike A sergeant at the 4th Training Battalion of the 162 Depot Brigade WAS ac- cused and found guilty of saying, 
 Let him die. don'tcare,' when a private was reported i'll in the barracks under his care. The sergeant was sentenced to five years at hard labor in a military prison, to forfeit all pay, and at the end of hls sentence, to be idishonorably discharged from the army. There is no place in the United States army for the officers who are indifferent to the physical condition of their men.
 Warm weather increased the attendance in the "" buildings at Camp rather than decreased itas one might have expected. This is due to the comparative freedom from quarantine and-to the numerous out of-door pro grams. The increase over the month of April was nearly 25 per | cent. There was also splendid increasein the attendance at the religious meetings of the Y. N c. A., the average at more than POO meetings being more than 250 men. Letter writing was on the increase also, and of course athletics. owing to the division l field meet and championship ball games, went Cover the top" in great shape.
 The resources of Camp Pike | were never better shown than in the big camp minstrel show that was given under the direction of the "" musical director at Lit tie Rock and at the camp. The roll of members included men from Ringlings circus and other shows. and from some of the best known minstrel companies in America. Of course all were enlisted men from the camp, and it was voted one of the big gest and most successful enter tainments of the kind ever held lin the State.

PACKERS
CHEESE
Small Independents Testify
About Price Fixing, In
furious to Farmers.

Chicago. Ill. Feb. z7.-Details of
cheese making and selling and testi-
mony that the Zig packers really con-
troll the cheese industry in Wisconsin,
marked the opening hours today o.
the government investigation into the
packing industry before the federal
trade commission
Under questions from Francis ].
Heney, special counsel for the COM
mission, operations of the Wisconsin
cheese market were presented Henry
krumrey, a farmer and cheese maker
OF Plymouth Wis, now president and
general manager of the Wisconsin
Cheese Producers federation, testified
that il was generally conceded that
the big packers-Armour and COM
pauy. Swift and company. Morris and
company, Cudahy and company. and
Wilson and ompany-control the
marketing of rs per cent OF the cheese
made in Wisconsin The witness said
that Wisconsin makes SO per cent Of
all cheese in the country.
KTumrey said that the prices for
Wisconsin cheese were fixed on the
Plymouth cheese board which was
under control Of the Wisconsin Cheese
Dealers association, which he char
acterized as the cheese combine"
The witness declared that the ses-
sions Of the cheese board were largely
a farce and resulted in the farmer
getting low prices for cheese. In 1911,
he said. cheese was priced al II cents
a pound on the board. which after
wards was sold for from 20 to rs
cents.
This caused a loss to the Wiscon-
sin farmers" the witness said 4 am
convinced that the prices on the
cheese board were fixed in a secret
session before the board formally
met"

PACKERS ARE PLANNING
FOR THE EIGHT HOUR DAY

Chicago, III, Feb. FIN conclude
ing his testimony in the stoclCyards
wage arbitration today, John E.
O'Hern, general superintendent for
Armour and company, in response to
questions by judge Samuel Alschuler,
admitted that the packers had for
some time been planning in buildings
and equipment to meet the eight hour
day when it arrives. He said there IN
doubtedly was a tendency toward
shorter working day. He insisted,
however, that the change from a ten
to an eight hour day should not be
made at least until after the war.
On the question Of overtime, he said
the necessities OF the packing indus
try would always require a long day
at certain busy seasons. He believed
the amount TO be paid fer overtime
should be determined by the wage
scale for the basic day.
