SIZE OF ARMY CAMPS AND
CANTONMENTS INCREASED

More than $22,00O,O00 have been ex-
pending during the past six months UNI
der the direction of the construction
division of the army in making adj
ditions and improvements to camps
and environments. This sum does not
include the cost of additions to the
hospital equipments or the improve
ments made at other army stations.
The improvement work consisted of
additional buildings for housing the
men and providing for their comforts
and needs. Among buildings erected
were quarters for officers and nurses,
repair shops, additional barracks, cof-
fec-roasting plants, kitchens and ba-
keries, and theatres. New roads were
laid and sanitation works improved
and extended.
Many additional buildings are con-
templated, and general construction
work will be rushed to completion dur
ing the summer and fall. In some in
stances the camp work has been ex-
tended to drainage OF an entire as
trict surrounding the camp to remove
danger of disease arising from the
proximity of the swamps.
Liberty theatres have been erected
at all national army environments.
Each Of these theatres has an average
enclosed seating capacity of 1000.
Theatres and amusement halls have
been erected also in tn national guard
camps and at other points where troops
are in training.

among the farmers and the boys
and girls at cost.
A scheme of financing the pro-
Ject is being worked out by a COM
mlttee of farmers and business
men. 1t is planned to distribute
these sheep to boys and girls and
farmers, giving them one year .
time to make settlement.
The project will be launched as
more wool, more sheep" cam
paign. County Agent Palmer Ed
gerton will be in direct charge of
the purchase and handling of the
animals and will to a very large
degree take care of the details con-
nected with the project. The plan
contemplates the purchase of
young breeding ewes which will
be shipped here, pastured, and bred
to thoroughbred rams, and distrib-
uted under a practical guarantee.
Shortly a canvass will be made
throughout the county to ascertain
those desiring ewes and the num-
Der wanted.
