FEW BUCKS NOW IN U. S. ARMY
Number Of Trained Doughboys Has
Been Reduced, Bringing Total to
Not More Than 10000

Doughboys-just plain buck privates
of infantry-are becoming almost as
scarce in the regular army as shave
tails were some time ago. Every time
there is a reduction in the size Of the
army, the number of buck privates Is
very perceptibly cut down. At the
present time 1t Is said that there are
not more than 10000 plain, unspecial-
ized bucks" in the ranks Of the
United States army. There are only
Al, 7,S37 men in all branches of the foot
regiments while there were more than
$1,000 enlisted men in the infantry
when the war started in April, 1917.
Impending additional reductions in
the size of the army will show
further drop in the number of pri-
Yates, officers say, and leave the in
fantry only framework Of highly
trained specialists with just few
humble bayonet-wielding bucks here
and there to give a sketchy suggestion
of wartime force.
This framework of specialists will
be maintained, the War department
declares, so that in an emergency the
army may be able to quickly expand,
filling in the vacant ranks with raw
recruits whO with few weeks train
ing. will make our fighting forces
highly trained machine.

FARM BUREAU
GROWING FAST
FARM MARKETING POPULAR A
MoNG RICE GROWERS WHER-
EVER 1T is EXPLAINED
FARMERS PUSHING IDEA
Meetnos And Field Work Is Going
On In Many Parishes OF The State
And is Successful.

Crowley-A resume Of the first
week of the campaign put on by the
Louisiana farm bureau in the parishes
of the Louisiana rice blet to explain
the rice contracts which are being
signed to organize Cooperative Rice
Growers Marketing Association, shows
results which go beyond the expec-
tations of the organizers, leaders in
the movement report.
Fourteen meetings were held in Aca-
dia parish and goodly number OF
contracts were signed In a majority
OF cases those who were present urged
that another meeting be held during
the present week and the various In
dividuals volunteered to see the amny
rice growers who failed to attend the
first meeting and insure their attend
ance this week.
In St Landry parish, more than so
per cent of all the rice growers have
signed the contracts, and indications
point to an 80 per cent sign-up as
soon as the remainder OF the grow
ers are visited and given the opportu-
nifty to affiliate.
Vermillion parish is taking an active
interest. and has more than seventy
contracts signed already. Few meet
ings have been held here. but the
work has been accomplished largely
by visiting the growers on their own
farms, it was reported.
Iberia parish growers who have
signed the contract are donating their
time and automobiles and are obtain.
ing the signatures OF their neighbors
and friends About thirty contracts
were singned In that parish during the
week.
Calcasieu Is going strong. Reports
from that parish are to the effect
that the farmers are flocking to the
standard of the farm bureau plan of
organization. At Community Chapel
where there are about fifty rice grow
ers, an 80 per cent sign-up has been
achieved. Nearly every grower In
the Iowa section Is affiliated with the
farm bureau and the majority have
signed the rice contract.
Similar conditions prevail in La
fayette parish, 1t is said. and although
no definite work has been undertaken
tn st. Martin, Evangeline, Allen and
jeff Davis, prior to this time. the
growers are seeking the opportunity
to come in with those Of the parishes
previously mentioned. Plans being
formulated will give them this chance
during the current week.
Although it has been predicted that
It would be impossible to obtain, by
July 80, tho 1900 signers necessary to
make this association operative this
year, tho results have been surpris
ing and present indications point to
the necessary number being signed
by the twentieth or twenty-fffth OF
this month. A final result of 200C
signers by the close of the month is Ok
pected.
The campaign for the new organi
zation will continue for the balance
Of this month and permanent organi
zation will be effected as soon az
possible after the minimum OF 15OC
signatures have been obtained.

People; Banquet To y
Visitors.

One of the most successful tele-
phone meetings ever held IN this
city took place at the Mankate Elks
club yesterday, when the ninth and
last of the years telephone confer
ence of Southern Minnesota brought
to this city many prominent tele-
phone men and district managers
from Sleepy Eye, Springfield, New
Ulm, St. Peter, Madeiia, Lake Crys-
tai, st. James, Worthington, Amboy,
Vernon Center, Watervilie and
Morrdstown.1 >' ~ ..-
The object of the meeting was to
get the telephone men together in
the interests Of CO. operation, and
was held under the auspicies of the
State Telephone association. The
program of the meeting was devoted
TO a meeting of managers and tele.
phone operators and then the .op
orators attended an operators
school conducted by Miss Anna
Of the state association and her as
sistants.
Traffic conditions were discuss
ed, and the handling of telephone
messages more expeditiously in the
interests of the telephone using
public. The prime object of this
school of instruction was the stand
ardiZation of operating practices
and methods so as to conform with
orders of the state railway and
warehouse commission, so that
there might be better understand
ing between all operators handling
toll messages. The feature which
was emphasized most strongly was
haf 0f y,,,hlio yaIafinnc ca1lin0 t1r,-nr,
the operators to be more courteous
to the telephone using public.
The managers met in conference
on plant problems, such as the in
stallation of modern equipment, and
the public relations feature was
again emphasized in this confer
ence.
Public Service Company
1t was brought out at the meeting
that the telephone company is Pc
culiarIy a public service company,
and that the public has vital in
terest in its operations. which must
be repected
The conference was presided over
by J. C. Crowley, secretary of the
state association, and was address
ed by James Howett, supervisor of
telephones of the state railway and
warehouse commission, D. NJ. Neill,
manager of the Redwing Telephone
company.
1t was the opionion of those at
tending the conference, that it was
decided success, and that out of it
will come a better understanding
between the managers of the differ
ent properties and operators. II
was also felt that 1t will also result
in a better understanding of the
public's relations to the industry az
/ a whole, which will undoubtedly
make more efficient service in
general.
Banquet For Visitors
At the close of the meeting a
banquet was served to those at
tending the meeting by representa-
tives of telephone manufacturers at
the Empress cafe.
1t was voted to continue these an
nual conferences, as much good had
been derived from them. -
