Private John E. Shepherd, Co. D, 55th Infantry, A. E. F., writes his mother, Mrs. w. L. Shepherd, R. F. D. No. 2, Mena, and expresses conf- dence the war will soon be over. He seys in part:

The kitchen police don't do thing but wash dishes and things like that. 1 am learning to drill very we'll, but from the way things seem now the war can't last much longer. think Turkey and Austria are about to quit. If they do, goodbye Kaiser Bill.
 "Will tell you something about the country. I thought this was a level country, but it is as hilly as Arkan- sas.
 "I wish you could see how the women wash. They get down on their knees and use brush against a rough rock. All the houses are made of rocks, the dwellings and cowsheds and barns under the same roof.

 Private Ancil Hoover. Headquar- ters Co.,, Casual Det. No. 2, Camp Pike, writes as follows for the benefit of those who might be worrying about their boys at the great canton ment:
 "Now we are all right. And as far as our treatment, it is good. Every boy seems anxious to go across. We love to read the news in our favor in the papers, but we get pretty badly scared sometimes for it looks as tho it will be over before we get there. We know we are fighting for the right ard we are pushing 1t. Now the people at home are the ones to look after, for we are treated good. We have the best of men for officers, a good place to sleep and plenty to eat. Believe me, we are proud of Uncle Sam
 "If there is anyone that has any doubt of us winning the war, visit the camp and see what is being done in the United Stataes. Probably it would open your eyes. Remember, we are not asleep down here. So just wait patiently for us. We are going to teach the kaiser he can't run over the American people, and it won't be long. Just write us lots of letters and send us a package now and then and we will look after the fighting part of it, for we are prepared and anxious to show out grit"

is one of the big drawing cards. At
ter rigorous nerve-racking period
OF patrol duty and the excellent and

the opportunity TO pull up a chair to
a real table once more and reyel in
the unbelievably long list of items
on the menu again is not to be con-
sidered lightly.
And so when Jacks ashore he
generally wants to eat first, and to
do il he seeks out the Y. NJ. G.. A.

mashed potatoes and brown gravy
and juicy roast beef, over savery

there will be a special extra in the

Where does Jack sleep when he is

he can have a comfortable room for

square deal. What that means only

Boarding School Experiment

"Oh. Mother, you ought to see
how they are saving food down at
school"
Eleanor was home from Briar-
wood on her first vacation. Every
table in the dining room has box"
she went on. and every girl is i'm
ed a cent each time she breaks
piece of bread and doesn't finish 1t
or leaves any food on her plate or
any sCfa Of b b bdes i tier " have tof
of fun over it and the teacher at the
head of the table issues paper tick
cts to each girl who treSpasSes these
rulings and then at the end of the
week these are checked up and the
pennies are charged against her. The
servants say it has made an awful
lot of difference, too; especially in
the amount of butter and bread -
she continued.
But why that far away look, lit
tie mother? You haven't heard d
word I've been saying" Eleanor
pouted as she broke open steaming
corn muffin.
Yes, dear" Mrs. Brainerd repli-
ed, | have heard every word, but it
took me back about twenty years,
and l was suddenly sitting at my
own pensionnat table in Berlin.
But I thought the Germans were
proverbially heavy eaters said
Eleanor.
THAT is true, but with them the
gospel of the clean plate is no mere
wartime measure" laughed Mrs.
Brainerd. Il we'll remember my
feelings when Fraulein Schmidt
scowl at me and insist that l eat
everything on my plate before l
could have another serving of some
dish l particularly liked. For, like
all Americans, l had been accustom-
ed to the etiquette of just leave what
you don't like on your plate and say
nothing about it. But it was not so
with the Germans"
No wonder, then, that they know
| how to make their present supply OF
food stretch to the farthest limit,
put in Eleanor, with tone OF new
understanding.
Exactly" pursued her mother.
Efficiency in eating is no stranger
| to Germany, while we are only just
beginning to learn it,"
4 shall go back and tell the
| girls" interrupted Eleanor, that
we are fighting the enemy with their
i own weapon. Only they have han
sIed this weapon for years and we
are just learning how"
Yes, and tell them their zeal and
| determination to win in this tight
must offset the long years of train
ing on the part of the enemy" con
/ cluded Mrs. Brainerd. For the
| side which holds out with food the
longer will decide whether the
world is going to be ruled by autoc-
racy or democracy"

unit for further field service will be utilized when available.
 All able-bodied students over the legal enlistment age of IS will be en. couraged to enlist in the United States Army, while students under Is will be permitted to enroll for in struction with the unit. The stud ent who enlists thereby becomes sub jGct to actual service at the call of the President of the United States, but it will be the policy of the gov service until they reach draft age un- less compelled to do so for urgent military reasons. Enlisted students will be on furlough until called to the colors, and will receive no pay nor allowances except when attending sumner training camps, when they will be entitled to transportation and rauions. All enlistments will be in the grade of private.
 Students may be discharged from the service for good reasons, such as unftness, misbehavior, dependent relatives, and the necessity of leav- ing college for causes beyond the students control. Such discharges will not release the student from lia- ifility to draft.
 The time allotted to military work vil. be ten hours a week during the college year, supplemented by six eeks of intensive training in a sum- rier camp. The government will supply necessary uniforms, rifles, and other equipment so far as such articles are available.
 It is expected that this plan will qualify a considerable percentage of students to enter officer training camps on being called to. the colors and will train a majority of the re. ma;nder to serve as non-commission- ed officers.
 i As the students affected will be actually enlisted in the United States Army. it will be impossible for ltholghtless persons to call them lslackers, which term has been not in frequently applied in the past to col llege students of military age.

 The name of Mir Webster was sent to the Board. about two weeks ago, mention of which appeared in the Copper Era at the time. Then it was said that there was likely to be no opposition to the confirmation of this appointee of Governor Hunt, as had been in the case with his two other appointees. At the meeting of the was present, and the action on the confirmation of MT. Webster, was unanimous.
