Some Fine Cattle Come Here

The Arkansas Prontable Farm ing Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce brought here 80 fine dairy calves from Wisconsin a short time ago. These have all been distributed in.21 counties surrounding Little Rock. They sold at prices rang ing from $165 for one of the pure bred Holstein bull calves, to $32. 50 for one of the smallest baby heifers.
 Within the last few months the Profitable Farming Bureau has brought 137 fine dairy ani mals to Arkansas. Some of them have come to Lonoke county. Calves produced by the cows since they came here have brought the total to ITO. The total value of the three carloads brought here is more than $12,500.
 Other parts of the state are bringing in better quality cows and they are building up fine dairy farms. There is no better spot than right here in Carlisle and there is nothing more profit able than dairying on the farm, because it builds up the land continually.

Will Welcome Arkansas Party

Great interest is being shown
 in the excursion to be made by
 the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau, of the Little Rock Board of Commerce. Already over a
 hundred people have signifed
 taeir intention of going on this trip and some of them from Lon oke county. The trip will be
 made in the interest of dairy products and good cattle, and Lonoke county is the most logi- cal point in the state of Arkansas for dairving and stock breeding. J. T. Nicholson the agricultu-
 rist of the bureau is receiving many communications from large stock farm managers and dairy producers along the line of the trip, which extends to several To- calities in Missouri, Iowa and
 Wisconsin, and royal welcome lis promised those who partici- pate.
 The extension of dairying in- terests and fine cattle in Lonoke county would be wise move and the results of this trip will mean much to our dairy farmers in this section. A full report of the trip will be given in our Booster Edition.

 American Expeditionary Forces France Address letters with ink instead of lead pencils.
 Yo secretaries have been con- tinuing the work of conducting canteens for the benefit of the troops that are camped in the trenches. When it rains and the
 men come to the tent plastered with mud from head to feet and soaking wet. it Is not hard to imagine that you are on duty in the foreign fields, and the idea is made more vivid by the occasion al outbursts of musketry when two parties of troops come in contact, one defending and the other seeking to pass through the guards and patrols that oc- .cupy the trencLeS.
 Results of the recent call for the Army Y. M. c. A. service are encouraging in this state, and the organization has secured, and has under promise, some of the very best men in Arkansas. Most of them will spend a month in the Y. M. c. A. training camp at Camp Travis. San Antonio, Tex, but few will come into the work direct. It depends very largely upln the work they are to do and upon the experience they have had in handling men in large numbers. At the last report, the "" had 2,187 men foreign service and 257 women. last representing a number of stenographers.
 One of the interesting parts of Camp Pike little known or visit ed is that where homing. or car rier pigeons, as they are perhaps better known, are trained for army service as a section of the signal corps. The birds are brought here from the east. when only few months old, and are trained to long distance flights by careful and persistent handling. They are carried to the country by motor cyclists and liberated, at first a few miles away and then longer distances as their speed and strength in creases.
 is well to remember that candy. fruits, and all bulky arti- cles will be refused shipment at this time to soldiers in overseas service. Tonnage is too valuable for necessities of life to waste it in carrying luxuries and non essentials. For a short time the Y. M. c. A. forwarded some of these things but they are now under strict embargo.

Camp Pike Notes

Red Cross representatives at Camp Pike are experimenting the erection of a large frame building at the Base Hospital that will not only be available for the cOnyalescent soldiers, but that will furnish a stopping place to visitors wishing to be near rel atlves who are seriously i'll in the hospital. These rooms, however, will be furnished only to aged or intirm relatives who could not possibly make the trip from the city and are not for general use. The building is in the form of cross and is 100 feet each way. Most of the space in the main building is to be used as q read. ing, writing and lounging room.
 Likewise the Hostess House, conducted by the Y. NJ. c. A., is enlarging it's quarters and mak- ing ready to accomodate more visitors. With the warmer weath CT, more relatives are coming to the camp all the time, and there IS also the increasing certainty that the men will be moving east ward sooner or later, and the men incline the sooner" view of the matter. Hence more re- quests for furloughs and more visits from the folks at home. Likewise more letters, more long distance telephone calls and more weddings. The spirit of unrest is very evident in the camp these warm June days.
 There are many candidates for the honor of being the meanest man in camp but Sheckley says it's the fellow that buns a stamp from you to put on the le ter he is writing to your best girl.
 Four Army Y. NJ. c. A. secre taries and five State Representa- tives were detailed to meet ard  accompany the many special trains last week that were bring ing the new selective draft men to Camp. It gave the newcomers 8 fine chance to asx questions with regard to conditions in the camp so they could in a small measure at least be prepared for the new life that was so soon to confront them. They also as- sisted in handling the men at meal times, in comforting the homesick ones, and in quieting some that were inclined to be noisy. It was one of the biggest lines of special work that the Y. A. c. A. has undertaken in this stata.

A visit to the ex press office where one could se- cure a sample of the odors that are all to frequent evidence of the folly of attempting to send the boys eats" at this season of the year. There are so many req sons why the packages may be delayed from two to four days or longer after reaching camp that 1t is real waste of food to at. tempt sending them there. In the first place the men do not need extra food; in the second, they probably will not arrive. Semi-perishable shipments of candy, canned goods. solid makes cookies, etc. should be so mark ed that if they are not delivered in a certain number of days they may be turned over to the Base Hospital.

 While the Army Y. NJ. c. A. never nags with regard to relig- ious matters, there are each week in the building numerous relig- ious meetings conducted by the chaplains, camp pastors, visiting clergymen and laymen, pastors from Little Rock and the nearby towns, and by the "" religious work secretaries. Unless they are announced as such in ad- vance and do not conflict with the regular programs, no denomina- tional meetings are held. The men respond readily to the call of the church and hundreds of them have decided to unite with some organized religious body, while thousands have promised to read the testaments given them, have arisen for prayers. have promised to turn over a new leaf and lead a better life, and have given concrete evidence of their desire to become better men.
