of work the Camp Pike "Y" is
putting over these days is the
song program. Every unit in
the camp is being drilled in
mass singing and it is not infre-
quent to see three thousand
men or more gathered on a hill
side singing under the direc-
ton of the camp song leaders.
Songs are increasing in inter-
est all the time as the fullest
cooperation is received from
the officers whose ideal army
is one that will sing as it mar
ches, or as it loafs in camp.

| rookie does long lOT nome
cooking those first two weeks
while he is in quarantine. Per-
haps he has never mastered d
dislike for onions or liver or
boiled cabbage, and mother
and wife have always joined
forces to tempt his jaded appe-
tite. At the hotels and res
taurants he ordered what he
liked or could afford. Now he
eats what the mess sergeant
dictates-or goes without. And
he eats it prepared and cook
ed according to the likes of the
company cook who is all too
often creature Of queer, &C.
centricities as regards the uses
of flavorings and combinations.
Our cook has used onions in
everything but the lemonade
and bread pudding-and the
year is yet young. When the
roc kie gets out of quarantine
his first break is for a Belmont
or Little Rock "eat house and
Dads up with everything on the
menu that he has been hunger
ing for during quarantine days.
And the next day the hard
hearted infirmary orderly deals
him out a handful of G. {.
pills, and he has passed thru
one of the early degrees OF his
initiation into army life. Learn
ing to eat food you had al
ways thought you couldn't eat
is one of the great educational
features Of war.
Getting shot" is really the
first degree of the army init
alton and if it were not often
pitiful it would frequently be
hilariously funny. Many men
have been lied to SO persistent
ly about what will happen
when they get their small poX
and typhoid innoeulations that
they are on the ragged edge of
a nervous breakdown and at
the touch of the tiny needle
scream with fright and eollap-
Sc in dead faint. AS a mat
ter of fact under ordinary cir
cumstances not one of them
would even notice the slight
pam. Of course there are
great differences in the after
affect" Some men are really
sick or a day or two while 9TH
ers never know fer a minute
that they have taken the shots.
But a mans mental attitude
PLAYS quite an important part
in the vaccination initiation.
The average soldier can go
to sleep standing on his head
on some other fellows head for
that matter. You see them as
leep on the veranda at the
Hostess House, in the "Y'
reading rooms, down town in
the Hotel lobbys, in the thea
tiers; in fact, anywhere that
they can drop into a vacant
chair. The program of the
army provides enough sleep
but with too many soldiers the
trouble is that they have to &c
to bed when they are not
Isleepy and get up when they
lare, and it takes time tc get the
liz bits of lifetime adjusted te
the calls of a bugle. During
the heated weather the mel
have stayed out as late as they
dared and that with then
|strenuous life has made then
ready to grab a little snooze a
every opportunity.
This brings remembrance OF
a camp joke as to how one
Camp Pike soldier lost his
Little Rock sweetheart. They

NORTH MOLINO LETTER.

North Molino, Oct. 2S.-The pas
lures and gardens got a little shock
by the recent cold wave.
Miss Ardis Squires spent last
week with her friends, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edgar Martin. Their children
have been suffering with the whoop-
ing cough.
A letter from Josiah Martin of
near Darlington, Okla, states they
had big rain and lots of hail the
goth inst, tho the hail did but lit
tie damage. Says they have 20
acres of wheat sown and it is up
and looks fine. There is vast
amount of wheat sown out there
this time.
Lee Mundy of Vernon county was
visiting his brother, j. E. Mundy,
and other relatives in this vicinity
part of last week.
Two of Mrs. Forest Berry's chill
. dren who have the whooping cough,
are staying with Mr.. Berry's cousin,
Mrs. Alice Asberry, to avoid giving
the disease to the two youngest
children, as the baby is only a few
weeks old.
Those who have the whooping
cough are two of ]. A. Cawthorn's S
children, three of Oscar Martins,
two of Forest Berry's, one of Ho-
mer Roberts and one of Clyde Ell
lis's.
S. P. Emmons is taking his fine
cattle to Mexico, getting ready for
his big sale.
We understand Ira Mayes has
bought the farm known as the Wal
ter Smith place.
Milton Roberts has rented the
Tom Anderson farm. He is moving
to it this week.
R. Nichols has bought the farm
known as the Joe Martin farm just
west of MoNno. VIM. Wilson has
bought the George Miller farm near
Olivet Chuch.
They are sure doing some fine
\ work on the State Highway. The
grading commences at the Audrain
county line just north of the Viii
bur Shoup farm and extends on
toward Perry.
We are truly sorry for Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Adams in the death OF
their son, DR.. A. K. Adams, and the
latter's wife. This humble writer
at one time was close neighbor OF
this good family, when Allie was a
little boy. We often think of their
kind and helping hand and how
thoughtful they were when we had
a long siege of serious sickness in
our family. They were ever ready
to assist. Yes, we extend our
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
ones.
