There was a very interesting game
of baseball Sunday afternoon between
the Des Arc baseball team and an ag-
gregation made up of returned SOL
diers. The soldier boys proved that
their armv service had not dimmed
their batting optics and they hung it
on to the civilians Z to 8. The game
was closely contested until the sew
enth inning when the soldiers lifted
their barrsge and''went over the top"
and succeeded in going farther than
their objective. Huddleston was on
the firing line for the soldiers and
twirled a very creditable game, but
Rich and Buck Wallis we're the stellar
performers for the khaki crowd. John
Ruble, who did a hundred yards in ten
fats on the banks of the Mouse, play
cd a good game of ball, but failed to
exhibit any such speed. Fish Wallis,
who also possesses an enviable army
record, gave an exhibition of trying
to run through barb wire ~entangle-
ments the first time he tried to nego-
tiate the distance between home and
first. Den Lovelace, another boy who
did not like the French wine, surpris-
ed his frienes by playing . smashing
game. 1t was a we'll played game and
was enjoyed immensely by the big
crowd.

Our Soldier Boys.

The boys from the 35th Division,
containing the 13Sth Infantry, have
been writing for some time, that they
were expecting to start home. The
papers tell us that they are now real
ly starting across. After reaching
this country they will likely go to
Camp Funston to demobiliZe. But
the people in st. Louis expect the
13Sth Infantry and 128th Field Artil-
lery, both Of which were recruited
there, to parade. 1t will be Q great
day for the boys when they get back
to their own state once more.
Many of our boys were wounded.
and the following quoted from Red
Cross Items shows what o game spirit
they had, and which undoubtedly had a
great deal to do with their recovery.
Ordinarily a hospital PATIENTS daily
record can only be a formal, technical
record of suffering, misery that is
sometimes relieved, but which often
ends only with death. There are
times, however, when such a report
reveals a triumph over death itself
and clearly, if incidentally, how il
was achieved.
A striking instance is the hospita.

Review Contest Bringing

Many Readers Think of Things
as Rare as a Day in June;
Prize to be Awarded for
Best Answer

A prominent gentleman dropped in
asked for the contest manager. Il
asked or the contest manager. Il
want to see the fellow who is run
ming that rare stuff contest" said the
P. G.. and he was directed to the sane
tum of the contest manager.
See here" said the p c., buster
ingly, What is all this | read about
something as rare as day in June!
The c. NJ backed up step or two
and reconnoitered the P. G.'s person
a bit then sat down again. well, If
you read it, it is just what you read"
But, my dear sir, there is no in
centive for sending in the answers,
as YOU only offer a dollar for the
best prize
The c. NJ then explained that if
a sufficient number of answers could
be secured they would be published
in book form with the names of the
contributors attached and that such
a book would indeed be worth while,
as it would be filled with rare gems
Besides, that dollar offered by the
Review is not so insignificant, as
everyone knows the value of dol
lar today.
Il believe that the dollar has its
drawing propensities," the Contest
Manager said, 'but the contest af-
fords much pleasure to the contes-
tants, and if you believe that there
is no incentive to the proposition,
look at these answers"
Whereupon the skeptical critic was
shown a bunch of answers, and of
course it would not be fair to show
them only to him, so the Review pub
fishes number of them below. Read
them over and see if you can go any
one of them one better. You may
send in as many answers as you wish,
and the Review will publish as many
as it can.
