CHARLOTTE BOY WRITES
FROM CAMP PIKE

Dear Editor.-Allow me
space in your neWsy paper to
relate a few incidents that hap
pened upon my departure from
home and arrival in Camp.
When I tell you and my friends
of the trouble that prevailed,
you can Immediately realize
that we felt unqualified for sol
diers when we arrived.
We were called to leave our
home county on the oath but
on account of a wreck up the
line we were forced to stay in
Batesville all night, and in a
place where a gloomy sensa-
ton always fills the atmos-
phere when one is fixing to
leave.
Although our long stay III
Batesville was happily spent
none of us cared for sleep, and
our voices, though poor in har-
mony, kept the air ringing with
notes of old sacred hymns.
The Red Cross workers pre-
scented us with testaments and
advised us to read and study
them.
1t was reported after the
presentation of our testaments
that the train would be one
hour late, and during the hour
we were called to lunch close
by. After refreshments we
amused ourselves in various
ways. Soon a motion was

made by our captain that we
charter d sheep car that was
on the switch yard and by hui
man strength leave for camp.
Just then a tremendous voice
was heard up at the soda foun-
tain crying, ooh iCaptain come
to my assistance, I've lost my
meal ticket and a nickle." Our
train arrived about dawn pull
ing three coaches of Marion
county boys. At every station
a yell that almost bursted our
ear drumbs was set up by the
troops, and flags, handker-
chiefs and arms waved from
the windows of the coaches.
When we arrived at Newport
fifteen other coaches were con-
nected to ours, and we travel
ed hastily to Camp Pike.
The engineer whistled for a
brief stop in Little Rock. I'M
.mediately seven military police
boarded the train and com
manded US to sit down. One
of the Marion county boys was
a little slow in seating himself
and an NJ 2. said, "Sit down,
there young man, you act like
you had the leprosy." Another
said, "All men going into camp
with bones in their pockets or
intoxicated will be marched
from the depot to the guard
house. But none of our bunch
went. Then a Red Cross man

attention of the Red Cross be-
fore we even got to Camp. One
fellow said, Il have always
been against the Red Cross,
but today I'm changed. There
is no institution more loyal to
its country than the Red cross.
Soon we landed here at
Camp Pike, received our mess
kits, towels, comb and brush
and other eonveniences and
marched from the depot to the

We were examined later
when several were held for OBJ
seryation while others passed.
Two shots were given us, one
in the arm for smallpox, ano-
Their in the right shoulder for
typhoid fever. The last is the
one that is so much dreaded,
but it knocked down only a
few in my company. We are
under quarantine for fourteen
days. Some are carrying their
arms in Sings, others are
dropped and drawn by the shot
in the shoulder.
There are about twenty Ark

the Arkansas boys have the
joke turned now, since one of
their men went crazy and
jumped from the second floor
of his barracks and broke three
ribs and fractured his skull.
Even then he tried to make his
escape from the guards, but
was captured and placed in the
hospital for mental treatment.

STAVE MILL
DESTROYED BY FIRE

The Hooking Stave Mill at
Newport was destroyed by fire

BUMPER WHEAT CROP PROMISED

The crop outlook, especially that of winter wheat, is
heartening. The government was disappointed as to the
acreage, it expecting above 47,0O0,OO acres while the
actual area planted is only AZ, 170,000. This however is
considerable more than last years acreage. The condi-
ton Of the crop is the best since 1914 when the bumper
winter wheat crop was grown, 1t t0talng 6o4,9SOOOO
bushels. Last year the yield was 4l8,O7O,OOO bushels OF
winter wheat and the yield of Spring wheat was cor
respondingly low. If the spring wheat makes as good a
showing as the winter crop the year will probably set the
record for wheat production.
Last year the spring wheat yielded 25O,3o9,OOO bushels
and the total of both spring and winter wheat for the
United States was 659,7T,OOO bushels. 1t will be seen
that the highest estimate of the winter wheat this year
gives yield about equal to the total crop last year. With
an average spring crop and the winter crop turning out
UP to estimates there will be in round numbers 3OOyONl0W
bushels more wheat this year than last. The rye crop also
shows a substantial increase, the estimates this year be-
ing for a yield Of 82,629,0O0 bushels against 6O,l450U
last year, a gain of 100000 bushels.
The hay crop is estimated at O7,55O,OOO tons with
more than 100000 tons still on hand from last year.
In this connection it is of interest to know that the
average consumption of wheat in the United States is
So bushels per capita. 1t requires 87,271,000 bushels for
seed and the total requirements under normal conditions
are $50, 101, 900 bushels, This left us last year a surplus
Of 100000 bushels. These latter figures show to what
extent conservation Of wheat was carried in the United
States, for while the exact amount Of wheat exported is
not available it was more than 10O,O00,000 bushels more
than our surplus. 1t is something Americans may well
feel proud of that they as a nation voluntarily deprived
themselves of their accustomed food out OF sympathy for,
and to aid their allies and neutral countries, which must
have suffered severely had this sacrifice not been made.
IL will be but a short time now until the wheat Of 1918 is
available and it will no longer be necessary to go on short
rations of bread, or to use substitutes for wheat in the
making of it. At the same time it will be the part of wis
dom to continue the food conservation plan, for wheat
will keep and we must be prepared to help feed our allies
indefinitely, or so long as the war may last. 1t is probable
Zoo, that this will be done voluntarily by many who prefer
the coarser breads brought to their attention by the
necessities due to the war. Potatoes will cut a bigger
figure in bread making from this time on. 1t is just as
well that this is so, for it will help steady the bread
prices after the war is over.

THRIFT STAMP DAY
PROMISES SUCCESS
Many Booths Erected and
Presided Over by Women
Of Salem

To-day has been thrift samp day in
Salem and the ladies' stationed in the
booths throughout the business district
have been doing a land office business.
The success of "Booth Day. is due
Of course to the efforts of the business
men in erecting convenient boob s in
front of their places of business and to
the keen business sense of the women
who have been placed in charge.
1t has not been a mere matter Of
waiting in the booths for customers. The
ladies have just got out and hustled
for business and Ihe great success Of
the day is due to their patriotic efforts.
Reports from the headquarters at the
Commercial club indicote the sales will
run well into the hundreds. Mrs. Charles
Miller of tbs Marion hotel reported at
noon today the sails of 800 worth Of
stamps and others whose booths were
favorably located report good sales.
Among those who gave their time to-
day to the sale of stamps, from the
booths erected wera: Mrs. II. s. Poisal,
Mrs. Cid Doolittle, Mrs. ]. s. Graham,
Mrs. Harry Hawkins, Mrs. Frank Spears

NOT A SERVANT. BUT A BOSS

When a person holding a public office imagines he has
"a right to withhold information from a newspaper as to
the public business of his office, he is making a mistake.
A distinguished gentleman with an office under the big
dome takes this position with regard to the Capital
Journal and refuses to allow it to have any information
as to what is done in his office. In fact he considers him.
self above criticism and undertakes to punish the Capital
Journal because it has had, and still has, the temerity to
talk frankly about his official acts. He arrogates to him.
self the right to deny the readers of the Capital Journal
any information as to what is going on in his office. He
assumes that the $4,000 people who read the Capital
Journal have no rights solar as he is concerned that he is
bound to respect. He imagines that instead of being a
public servant he is a public boss, and has a right to
dictate to others, and to the newspapers of the state. The
Capital Journal has been frank in its criticisms and has
expressed them in gentemanly language, and avoided
.vituperation and abuse. 1t has said what it had to say
about this distinguished citizen plainly and without
malice. 1t believed it was doing its duty as a newspaper
in exposing the o.. A. c. presidents salary graft, and in
showing the connection of this distinguished parsonage
with it. That is what hurt him. He could not deny a
single assertion made of or concerning hin by the Capital
Journal. He virtually tells the $4,000 Capital Journal
readers they have no right to know anything about his
official acts.
After next Friday he will probably be more vindictive
instead of feeling properly chastened, but his time for
.bossing will be shortened from what he hopes, by four
years. He is at present the governor.

RED CROSS WORKERS
NEXT LAY PLANS
FOR COMING CAMPAIGN
Committee Meeting Not Large
y Attended But Spirit Was
Excellent

Although the meeting at the Com.

euss the coming Red Cross campaign
was not largely attended, yet those
who were present were among the ac.
tive workers who are the real spirit
in such campaigns.
An address was delivered by Fred
Strong Oh the general campaign and
what was being done in other places.
However, Mr.. Strong said he felt he
had very little to add to the work
that had been done by Salem in the
previous campaigns and hal the city
had one O. the best organizations for
patriotic work in the state.
A sister of Mr.. Stone spoke of the
work being done by women in the Red
Cross campaigns. She suggested that
those who could drive cars could aid
materially by driving for the several
workers who are to give their time
next week.
o. B. Gingrieh, who made such an
enVlable record a year ago in the Red
Cross drive, was again appointed
manager. August Huckestein, who
served as chairman a year ago, stated
that ON account of the absence of as.
slstant postmaster Farrar and the work
piling up in the postofrlce, he would
not be able to give so much time in any
official capacity this year. A commit
tee consisting of Henry Meyers, A.

The English House of Commons knows how to deal
with mouthy lmelight-seeking critics. The accusations
had not much more than been made by Maurice that
Lloyd George had issued untrue statements than the
house took the matter up and settled it by a vote of nearly
two to one against even appointing a committee to in
~vestigate the charges. Herbert Asquith has been the
English Roosevelt ever since he went out of office devot-
ing most of his time to criticising those whose acts he
could not emulate. 1t was he who made the motion that
a ommittee of investigation be appointed. 1t might be a
good plan to appoint such a committee, but it should in
vestigate Asquith, Maurice and the balance of that gang
of fault finders.
