CAMP PIKE NOTES

Camp Pike, July 1.—Some
how this warm weather seems
to be fine for poets in the army
camps and here we have ano
ther jingle that is going the
rounds. In army parlance, it
is entitled “Passing the Buck.’’
The Colonel calls the Major
When he wants something done
And the Major calls the Cap
tain
And starts him on the run
The Captain then gets busy,
And strives to make it suit.
By shifting all the baggage,
On a shavetail Second Lieut.
The said Lieutenant ponders,
And strokes his shaven jaw,
Then calls a trusty Sergeant
And to him lays down the law.
The Sergeant calls the Cor
poral,
Explain^ how it must be;
Then the Corporal calls a pri
vate,
And that poor private’s me
Change succeeds change at
Camp Pike and no one knows
what a day may bring forth.
While the Fourth Officer’s
Training School at Camp Pike
has been increased until it now
has some 1,200 student offi
cers, 250 artillery students
have been transferred to Camp
Zachary Taylor at Louisville.
Machine gun men to the num
ber of 119 have been transfer
red to Camp Hancock, Augus
■ a, Ga. Several hundred sec
ond lieutenants have been
:ransferred to Camp McArthur
at Waco, Texas.
Recent instructions issued by
[he Hostess House at Camp
Pike for the benefit of the new
selective draft men suggest
that relatives do not come to
the camp for several weeks af
ter the new men leave home.
Ft will be easier to find the sol
dier you want to see and he
will probably be out of quar
antine. The men are also nsk
-d to write the folks at home
o refrain from surprise visits.
There will be fewer disap
pointments and much less
wasted time. Invite your rel
atives and friends to meet you
it the Hostess House and have
hem go there directly upon ar
■ival, leaving instructions to
he secretaries as to when and
where you can be found.
Pryor Cruce, son of Editor
'ruce of the Morrilton Demo

E , EKYBODY CAW HELP
The plan oi' the government
to raise revenue through the
sale of war savings stamps b
one of the most commendable
plans yet instituted. The sale
of liberty bonds was and is
necessarily circumscribed be
cause these bonds could not be
issued in small denominations
sufficient to include the small
savings of the millions who
handle only small means. With
the savings stamps, however,
all can have a hand in finan
cing their government. Millions
who felt themselves unable to
spare the amount of a bond
can contribute through this
channel. And the fact that
every penny invested in these
stamps is so much saved and
invested at a profit, should in
spire in the American people a
spirit of thrft and saving that
has heretofore been totally for
eign to our nature. The res
ponse should be universal.

again the victim of another dis
astrous fire. Last night about
