IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
 CHIEF FL LEMENT OF TRAINING

Camp Funston, Jan. 26.-The i'm portance of discipline will be one of the clements of war hammered home with double force during the third officers training camp here.
 Army officers point out that one undisciplined man may cause the loss of an entire unit.
 The training school here is pattern ed after the United States military academy as nearly as possible. The firstlecture to the embryo officers was in part as follows:
 "Dsciplining in. it's fullest sense is not complete until response of the soldier is the same on the battlefield as upon the drill ground. An organi- zation of intelligent men may be drilled in a comparatively short time, so that on the parade ground they appear to be we'll disciplined. The same organization taken into battle might give evidence of a complete lack of discipline because the habit of mind has not been sufficiently ground in. Discipline to the trained is indi- cated in a number of ways.
 "The manner in which uniform is worn, whether every button is right side up and whether every flat is but toned, whether the hat cords of the men of whole organization are uni formly worn on the hats. Whether a soldier is shaved clean and fresh at breakfast. Whether his shoes and other footwear ape properly cleaned and polished and the condition of his rife. The manner in which his bunk and personal effects are kept, and the way in which he gives salute.

CTS consider their orchards unproduc- tive. With apples, especially care will give remunerative returns. This has been demonstrated repeatedly in Mis- souri.
 Fruit is one of the indispensable foods in maintaining the health of the people. Dean F. B. Mumford of the University College of Agriculture, as federal food administrator for the state suggests that every step be taken to guarantee big yield of fruit next year. Many orchards of bearing age have failed to produce profitable crop up to date. They can be thrown into bearing by proper methods. The College of Agriculture or any of the county agents will be glad to offer suggestions for pruning and spraying

CHANGES WILL BE MADE
 IN STATE GINNERS LAW

Little Rock, Jan. 26.-Commissioner John H. Page announces that next year there will be some changes made in the administration of the ginners' law, designed to render greater ser- vice to the ginners.
 "Under the ginners' regulation law, the ginners have been required to take two gin samples of each bale, one to be given the customer, and the other ito be sent to the Department. Next season, one sample will be required to be sent immediately to the depart ment that it may be graded and classi- fled, and a report of the grade, with serial number of the bale, mailed dir ect to the producer. By this means, the owner will be enabled to sell each bale of his cotton with an accurate knowledge of the classification. The department has been unable to redner .th's service as completely as they wished during the past year, as the law was in an experimental stage, and th2 department was short of men. It has been of great service to the farm CTS, and it is our purpose to make it greater service"

But Huns Lose Four Machines
as the Price.
Several Bombs Dropped During
Two Hours.

London, May 26.-A calm summer
like night tempted the Germans to try
last night their air raid on London
and four of the raiders fell before
the defenses of London.
The moon was shining brightly
when the raiders crossed the south
eastern point and headed for the
metropolis.
The usual warnings were given
promptly and the people had time to
reach shelters before the guns in the
neighborhood of London were heard.
The firing was almost continuous for
more than two hours and was un-
usually severe. Several bombs were
dropped by the raiders.
The number of enemy aircraft is
not known but they seem to have
been more numerous than usual.
