Miss Bell Resigned

Lonoke, Ark, April 30, 1918. To the Home Demonstration Gan
 ming and Poultry Clubs of Lon
 oke County:
 Dear Club Members:
 This week I will offer my resig nation as your agent in women and girl work. You may look tor letter from me by mail in a day or two.
 Miss Ruby Tennyson has been appointed to take my place and l a0 delighted with her appoint ment. You will sll do we'll with her as your leader.
 The girls who were in the work last year will remember Miss Tennyson most happily She was with us in July for our rally. You know how happy she made you all on that day and she will make you just as happy every time she meets you.
 There will be club rallies real soon in Lonoke, Cabot, England and Carlisle. All who possibly can do so, prepare to attend the one nearest your home at least.
The Carlisle independent., 1918-05-09

There are two or three clubs that have not been organized ow ing to the recent hard rains which prevented my going out to the schools. Miss Tennyson will look after these and will do 1t well.
 A few weeks ago I began say. ing for Thrift Stamps with the idea of buying War Saving Stamps. There will be two five dollar stamps if no more. One will be for the canning club mem Der sending the pest record book the other for the poultry club member submitting the best rec ord book or your full exhibit.
 1 am sorry to leave you but glad that you will have leader whom some of you already know, and Ifeel sure you will be as faithful this year as you were last. The home Demonstrators will extend the same cordial welcome to Miss Tenpyson when she comes to your homes as you have to your sincere friend,
 HATTY BELL,

been saved from extinction in military barbarism. The loss in virile man power will be no less than that of man power, and 1t must be replenished by our schools. The schools must be maintained upon superior plane of effective power, to rebuild that which war has destroyed, to fill ID the gaps in the armies of Thinkers that make the world. The schools of Arkansas must not be found recreant in this pa priotic duty
 If the schools of Arkansas and the nation were permitted to lag and grow indolent, the morals of the nation would deteriorate just to that extent. Brute force must not be permitted to usurp the throne of intellect. Such would be the natural tendency should the schools, be permitted to fall behind. The schools of Arkansas have made most remarkable progress in recent years, but they are only on the threshold of greater things if they are main. tained And they MUST be maintained-any other course is unthinkable. The people demand it, and have the right to expect it.
 The annual school election is approaching The school election is constructive function of the popular suffrage. It has placed it's seal of approval upon the higher ideals toward which our education system has been tend ing, and has declared in no un- certain tones that there must be no retrogression. There is no more vital interes in which the people have a voice than that ot making provision for the main tenance of our school system, and there should be a full vote on election day.
 Twenty-Five thousand of the best young men of the state are bearing arms in defense of the nation, and by the end of summer this will be doubled. Their places must be filled, for many will not be able to resume their work they were forced to abandon that our homes, industries, and insti- tutions might be saved. To train the boys and girls to take their places, our schools must be kept up. Every voter of the state can show his interest by going to the polls on Saturday, May Is. and voting for the best interests of our educational system.

ing ball than there is for not drilling. but with the most Of the soldiers no orders to play are necessary. The greater portion of that extra hour of daylight in the evening is devoted at Camp Pike to baseball.
 No section of the camp re spends more quickly to the call of the Y. NJ. c. A. than that oc- cupied by the colored troops The seven colored secretaries are among the busiest in the camp and the buildings are near ly always we'll filled. It is inter eSting to note the number who are trying to learn to read and write, and they turn out we'll for all kinds of entertainments and programs. Camp Pike would be a rather tame sort of a place if it were not for the thousands of ne groes with their grins and their jokes. But negro is negro. The other night one of them slip ped in to the Y. M. c. A. build ing and said:
 Are you Mr. Y. M. 0. Az"
 Yes"
 Gan you all let me have some boxin' gloves?"
 He was given the gloves and then he grinned and whispered MT Y. M. c. A, can't you sew a piece of lead or horseshoe in one of these here gloves. There's a mighty mean nigger up the street and 1 wants to bust his head plum off"
 A iiCW StuiU tO q iOt Ol tllc spectators the other day during review was setting up the stakes and weaving the wire en- tanglements. A special detail is taught to do this work and each company has a squad of eight men. In the review perform ances, three squads drove the stakes and placed the wire and the braces in five minutes and 15 seconds, building 75 feet of en- tanglements. No one seems es pecially to be in a rush in this work but every soldier knows just what he is to do and there is no wasted effort.
 Much credit IS due Little Rock for the many efforts the churches and private citizens are making to care for and entertain the sol diers at Camp Pike and Fort Roots. Half a dozen churches hold weekly receptions and so cials, and the city "" is open to them at all times. The pastors, musicians, public speakers, sing CTS, old and young, are giving freely of their money and their talents to help make life pleasant and every Red Triangle building in the camp has a nightly pro gram at which volunteers from the city appear.
 In reply to recent query, will say there are eleven chap lains at Camp Pike as follows: Chaplains Torsney, Catholic; Reyes, Methodist; Davidson, Baptist; Boyd, Baptist; Howard, Methodist; Hughes, Catholic; Gartner, Methodist; Hogg, Meth odist: Krongol1 Jewesh; Dickey, Baptist; Metzgar. Catholic.

Do Not Close Our Schools, Use Them

U0 N0t Cl0Se Uur Sch00lS, Use Them
 The State Council of Defense has unanimously gone on record in support of the public schools as one or the states most vital elements of stability and prog ress. A resolution was adopted that nothing must be done to re duce the efficiency of the schools, but that everything possible must be done to maintain them at their high standard. This sen timent is to be scattered broad cast through the County Coun- clls and the patriotic organiza- tions of the state. In the first year of the war, England neg lected her schools, but her mis- take was quickly seen, and now her schools are being restored to the full measure of their i'm portance.
 After peace has been declared, at the end of a bitter strife that is blighting the flower 0: the worlds manhood, there will be all the greater demand for train ed men anc women to strengthen the civilization that will have

Camp Pike Notes

bring forth" and it IS especially true of army life at Camp Pike One of the colored soldiers told it very aptly when asked by a newcomer the other day as to what they were supposed to do as days work. "Nigger, he said, You hain't never gwine to know till tomorrow what youse gwine to do today"
 If you visit Camp Pike you will never have seen it all until you visit the trench area north of the main grounds and descend into the underground rooms. There are some twenty miles of open trenches and many hundred yards of tunnels twenty feet or more underground. All phases of the underground warfare sys tenn may be seen, and hunks are built along the passage way for men, with larger rooms for the officers, ammunition rooms. or derly rooms, etc. A wonderful amount of time and money has been spent here that the men and officer may be thoroughly familiar with thls work when they reach France.
 Editor Herb Lewis of the Ora vette News Herald said recently: After a visit to Camp Pike we can confidently tell you that the Red Triangle Y. NJ. c. A. is do ing just about everything possi- ble to keep our soldier boys un- der goodly influences and pro vide them with entertainment and their hundreds of little needs Your dollars are well contributed It is noble cause and must be kept up
 A lumber of the boys Who've been serving the past week as K. P" wish us to assure the folks back home that they are not Knights of Pythias" and that there are no initiation fees to the order. In fact. the order is not secret at all In army parlance it stands for Kitchen Police, and the duties involved are scru bbing floors, washing dishes, peeling potatoes, etc.
 As a sample of the enormous scale upon which the business at Camp Pike is transacted it might be we'll to cite the fact that the new oat bins just being construct ed here are 62 feet high, 42 feet in diameter and the capacity of the two bins is 125,000 bushels, or that it requires the manufac> ture of 35,O0O pounds of bread each day. It is distributed around camp each day by trucks and each loaf weighs ? lbs The bread is made of 80 per cent wheat and 20 percent corn meal. All of the bread is made at the camp bakery.
 Dr. Milford Lyon, who has just returned from some. months in France with the American troops in the interest of the Y M. c. A. spoke recently at Der of points in the camp. He said he could not emphasize too strongly the work the Red Triapglemtn are doing for the men abroad, and said there would have been many discouraged and homesick men if it had not been for the cheer and warmth of the "Y' huts. He calls on the mothers of America to write very often to their boys in the camps. both at home and abroad. Not just any old kind of a letter, but cheerful and com forting ones that will be like a breath of life from the old home. And don't send them money, especially to the men abroad. They have money enough to keep them and every addition. al dollar means additional oppOr-
