CHICKEN FEED FREE

The average stackyard for grain
is dry, dusty ground where a great
deal of the grain gets trodden into
the DIST and cannot be cleaned by
the threshing machine. The first
shower that comes, moistens the
mass and sprouts the grain. Get the
dust and grain scraped up into piles
so it will not get wet. Then at your
leisure pile 1t up in some place where
you can dump some of it out each
day ali winter for the chickens to
scratch and pick in. It will give the
fowls good exercise at times when
they need it, and it will afford them
good feed that costs you nothing, for
If left in the dust it is total loss.
BY saving the dust and grain you
convert your loss into eggs and de-
licious meat. tt

Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Nov. 20.-From present indications, Camp Pike will in few weeks assume the role of a Deserted Village. From camp of 60,000 to S10,000 men in training two weeks ago, it has dwindled to city of 30,- 900 and it is reported unofficially that beginning with Saturday, 4,000 more will be sent home daily until there is just enough left to properly care for the camp.
 Business men of Little Rock are al ready feeling the shrinkage in the Camp Pike population and they are speculating as to the future of the camp. Contractors are still erecting buildings at the camp, though some buildings which were contemplated will not be erected at this time. Buildings which were under course of construction at the time the armis- tice was signed, will be completed, and partially completed units will be carried through, but it is understood that a considerable portion of the work anticipated will be abandoned entirely.

FOOD ADMINISTRA- TION HAS REMOVED
 SUBSTITUTE PROGRAM

County Food Administrator G. B.. Irby has received the following:
 The substitute and Victory mixed flour program has been removed for the present. It is no longer necessa- ry that substitutes accompany sales of straight wheat flour nor that they be mixed with straight wheat flour in baking bread and pastries in homes, hotels, restaurants and bakeries.
 Quantity restrictions have, also been removed but hoarding is still a violation and we urge, as a patriotic duty, that only a reasonable amount be sold to the consumer.
 Urge careful conservation as here tofore; there is none to waste.
 If it is desired, the Grain Corpora tion will purchase any excess stocks .dof Victory Mixed flour or substitutes above the dealers needs. Purchases, however, will not be made except in carload lots of each substitute. Should there be any dealers in your community who have more than they canm readily dispose of, we suggest that you kindly get in touch with the Grain Corporation at St. Louis who will, in turn, give you full and com- plete particulars in regard to same. Beginning December 1st, consum- CTS will be allowe four pounds of su- gar per capita per month. As your people will want to participate in the saving of one million pounds of su- gar for the Christmas gift of candy for our boys overseas, it will be ne cessary for each to use less than four pounds.
 Please give wide publicity to the above announcement
 Sincerely yours,
 Hamp Williams, Federal Food Administrator for Ar
 kansas.
