Men to Leave May 27

Last week the Independent published long list of the names of men to be sent to Camp Beauregard, Louisiana, from LonoKe county by the Local board of the county since which time the name of Estes Evans Simmons, of England, has been added. The date for the men to leave Lonoke has been named as Monday, May 27th. Every man named in the list should be on hand on the morning of the 27th so as not to be late in making his departure at the appointed time. Promptness in many instances saves time and trouble.

health on corn products, with which our country is fully sup piled, enough to feed the world.
 In the South we give the rais- ing of corn only secondary place as to soil and cultivation. If we would curtail our cotton and tobacco crops one half and give to corn the same cultivation and fertilizing, we would more than double our production, not only furnishing sufficiency of health giving bread, but we would raise more horses, cattle and hogs to supply our home consumption and keep our Allies fully supp piled. All we have to do is to go at it and do it.
 Going back a couple of hun dred years, we find that this country was originally peopled by a strong, healthy race, the Indians, who subsisted entirely Op corn. And before the war be tween the States my ancestors were large slave owners, and our negroes were fed entirely on corn products and no stronger or healthier people ever lived than they.

 am an old Southern planter, past eighty-fiye years of age, in perfect condition as to mind and health, have lived on corn bread all my life and feel that 1 can speak intelligently on the much mooted corn bread question. During the war 1 commanded the 1st Arkansas Regiment, con- sisting of twelve hundred men, and during the four years we never saw a piece of bread that contained a grain of wheat flour. We lived entirely on plain corn bread, and my men were strong and healthy; and what 1 say oi my regiment can be truthfully said of the entire Confederate army.
 Now, why can't we fall back on the good, health giving cornbread prepared in it's many appetizing ways, and ship our wheat to the Allies without feeling that we are making such sacrifices am surprised to find how lit tie the people of the North know of the good. health-giving eating there is in com bread cooked 1T it's many different ways. During my entire life I can't remember ever sitting down to meal with out corn bread prepared in some appetizing way.

OF this amount, s470.GS0.531 TX for
equipment; sI4O.O7I.O13 for nddi-
tions nnd bettcrmcnts, and SIs,203,-

The various ronds asked for ST.

as others.
The greatest amount fs allotted to
the railroads now cnrryins the
greatest bulk of wnr munitions,

the highest amount. S1I2.G5G,G52.
Its estimates were cut S36,Gl4,507.
