Notes From Camp Pike

due to the Wed> her conditions, during which period the boys have done little or no real drill. ing, the camp is fairly dry again and the officers are pushing the men to the very limit to make up for lost time. Squad drill has been kept up most of the time, and the boys and officers have been getting a lot of theory. but now they are cut by companies, battalions and regiments, and are getting ready for the rife range. Time is most precious commodity when a nation is pre- pairing a million men for the bat tie line, but if there is anyone in the world who can get more hours out of day or more nm utes out of an hour. than top sergeant from the regular army, 1 don't want him for a boss. And that is where the top sergeants at Camp Pike come from.
 But the work is welcomed by most of the men. There are men here who have been in quaran. tine ever since their arrival last fall, and they welcome anything that will give them a change in the daily program It is small wonder that a lot of the Northern boys are cussing Arkansas for they hold the state responsible for the weather, the quarantine and the occasional grouchy off. cer. They didn't like our dust, they didn't like our snow, and they don't like our mud. Some of these days they are going to look back with longlngs for our  Arkansas spring, but you can't make them see it that way just now.
 The Y. M. c. A. buildings are crowded these days-or rather evenings, for they have no time to visit them during the day When darkness puts an end to the drill most of them are too tired to even want to come to town, and soldier has to be tired or dead broke when the bright lights of Little Rock have no attraction for him. So he nat urally gravitates to the "" to read, or to write, or to play games, to listen to concerts or lectures, and many attend the various classes and religious ser vices.
 A word as to the reading mat ter at Camp Pike. A lot of peo- pie are sending magazines and periodicals there but there is really too much cheap stuff and not enough of the better class The Saturday Evening Posts have been welcome, but they get too many of them; especially the ones of last year If you send Posts, don't send elder than a month back. There are literally tons of Posts stacked around the post office and other buildings Don't send magazines that are made up chiefly of continued stories, for the chances are agalnst the soldier being able to get all the copies. Don't send dirty or torn copies. If the boys are entitled to anything they are to the very best you can send. Don't send them by express or freight collect" for there is no one here with any money for that purpose.
