ANNUAL MEETING ARKANSAS
 PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION

A notable convention was held in Little Rock this week on Wednes- day and Thursday, the annual meet ing of the Arkansas Public Health Association. Many questions vitally effecting the public interest of the people were discussed by men and women who have given the sub ject careful study and in many in stances by those who have devoted their lives to bettering the conditions of the people from a health and san- itary viewpoint. The association is making an especial fight against tub erculosis, which annually claims as its victims a population equal to the town of Russellville of Batesville. It is said that 25,000 people are i'll with tuberculosis at this time in Arkansas and it cannot be denied that the econ omic vast due to this disease reaches into the millions. Governor McRae has interested himself in the cam paign for improving health conditions and has urged a large attendance of citizens. The session will conclude Thursday evening with the present

MILITARY TRAINING
 CAMPS FOR CIVILIANS

Citizens military training camps are to be conducted by the War De partment during the coming summer for the training of young men who have passed their sixteenth birthday and who are not over thirty-ive years of age These training camps will be opened not earlier than July 10th nor later than August 10th and will con tinue for one month.
 The objects of these citizens train ing camps are to bring together young men of all types, both native and foreign born; to develop closer national and social unity; to stimu- late the interest of the youths of this country in the importance of military training as benefit to the individual taking such training and as an asset vital for the problems of national de- fense
 There will be no obligation resting on the men who attend these train ing camps, other than that they shall properly conduct themselves during the period of the camp and receive the instruction given.
 At the close of the camps, the young men will return to their homes without being tied up with any con tract or agreement of service. This is simply a plan to give the young men all the benefits of a few weeks training without enlisting them in any of the military forces of the United States.

SIMPLE FERTILILING DEVICE
 FOR SECURING HIGHER YIELDS

A simple device for securing good yields of melons and cucumbers which can easily be made at home is des- ribed by c. Woolsey, horticulturist, Agricultural Extension Division, Un- iversity of Arkansas. The simple plan provides for both watering and fertilizing the plants.
 To make this device, take barrel (any kind) and bore three holes two inches from the bottom and at equal distance apart. Set the barrell in the garden where the cucumbers or mel ons are to be planted and plant the seed under each of the holes Fill the barrell about two-thirds fullof barn. yard manure.
 During dry periods water should be poured into the barrell frequently so that the plants will get plenty of moisture and fertility. The water teaches through the manure and flows through the bored holes and into the solid ground around the plants. This furnishes water and plant food at one operation. During rainy weather no attention is needed except cultivation.
 Several af these barrels may be placed in row from six to eight feet apart. No more than three plants should be allowed to develop in each hill under the holes as the added fer tility which these plants will get ass ures a good yield. Cultivation is made the same as if the plants were planted in the regular row system. Cucumbers and melons will yield heavy crops if grown this way, Mr. l Woolsey states.

approach to the crest OF an up
ward movement Is reached while
sales are still increasing. The first
warning sign is when the ratio
Of increase in sales begins to de-
cline. Sales may continue to in-
crease but the driving force behind
the upward movement is losing its
powerA The ratio of increase Ia
pers of until the twilight zone In
reached and then comes the de-
cline. The same rule holds good
at the bottom of a downward move
ment-a period such as we have
been passing through.
The Limitations of this article
compel me to confine myself to the
part played In the business cycle
by the commercial community. But
the psychological element Is just
as potent in the security and other
markets. Obviously other symptoms
evidence the movements in other
fields. The volume of undigested
securities. interest rates. etc. indi-
Gates here the trend OF events.
And finally the business cycle OF
the entire community Is q complex
of the movements in all the vari-
Gus lines of human endeavor-
sometimes the movement in one
offsets the movement In another
though usually they tend to &C
centuate one another.
The present business cycle ap-
pears to have reached the bottom
