GOOD COTTON SEED
WORTH 75 MILLION
“Good varieties of cotton
used as seed will produce an
nually for Arkansas products
worth $75,000,000 more than
cotton grown from poor seed,”
says W. E. Ayres of the Agri
cultural Experiment Station of
the University of Arkansas in
an article in the Cotton and
Cotton Oil News. “Good varie
ties alone will increase the val
ue of the entire cotton crop~of
the south by $230,000,000 an
nually.”
Professor Ayres states that
the following nine varieties
could profitably replace the
“ninety-nine” now used in the
state: (Cleveland, Rublee, Trice,
Triumph, Rowden, Lone Star,
Foster and Webber.
IN MEMORY OF
DEAR RILL A
Dear Rilla’s gone
From earth below,—
Yes from this world
Of sin and woe.
She’s now at rest
In heaven above
Where all is peace
And joy and love
How sad and lonely is my life
Since I gave up my darlingwife
Where e’e»* I go, where e’er I
stay
I think of her both night and
day.
i gu auoui hit cmianoon nome
And oh, the thoughts while
here I roam.
Rut while I sorrow from my
loss.
I'll do my best to bear my cross
Our days were few
Together here,
We had been wed
About three year.
Our lives were sweet
Our minds were free
From earthly cares
And such misery
Yes hand jn hand
And side by sid^
We marched along
With love as guide.
But now she’s gone,
To that bright land
When I am called,
I’ll clasp her hand.
GAFFNEY MAYHAN.

» CAMP PIKE NOTES ttl
Camp Pike, Jan. 27.—Camp
Pike has practically become!
the headquarters demobiliza
tion cantonment for most of the
Southwest, as demonstrated by
the number of men sent here
from overseas and other can
tonments and later distributed
to camps within the 350 mile
radius of their place of enlist
ment.With the exception of ov
erseas men and soldiers from
other cantonments, few dis
charges are being issued, com
pared with the rapid rate of
demobilization in progress here
until recently. In the meantime
there is no slackening in drill,
hikes and police work about
camn.
Arkansas men are numerous
among the convalescent woun
ded arriving at Camp Pike
from overseas. A bunch of
these from the 345th infantry,
87th division, were called up
on to do a little street repair
woik, much to their disgust.
“This is a helluva come off,”
one was heard to remark. “We
went over there and won the
damned war, and now we have
to police the United States.”
Thomas W. Kenedy of Cle
burne county, who went “over
the top” nine times before he
was wounded by a boche ma
chine gun bullet, has received
his discharge and left for his
home. Kennedy exhibits a big
knife h.e says he took from a
German who attacked him.
Kennedy was in the fighting
at Chateau Thierry. He was
wounded on October 17 and
spent some months in a hos
pital in France before being
sent to Camp Pike.
Frank N. Henderson, Ark
ansas editor and lawyer who
has been in Army Y. M. C. A.
work at Camp Pike for several
months, has resigned, effective
February 1. Mr. Henderson
will be connected with the Ar
kansas Gazette.
Arrangements for giving vo
cational instruction to soldiers
whose wounds will prevent
them from following their pre
vious occupations are progres
sing well at the base hospital,
where the school is to be con
ducted. Training will be given
in stock growing, mechanical
pursuits, salesmanship, type
writing, drafting and other oc
cupations. Illiterates among
the medical corps men also' will
be given opportunity to obtain
the rudiments of an education.
The military authorities have
called upon the Y. M. C. A. to
furnish as many instructors as
possible, and has turned over
to the Y. M. C. A. the instruc
tion of the illiterates.

Ever since 1853 we have been
buying and selling pianos. The
grandparents and great-grand
parents of many present-day
Little Rock citizens bought mu
sical instruments from us back
in the “fifties and sixties.”
The experience we have gained
proves to us that these pianos
are unsurpassed—Kimball Hol
lenberg, Hallet & Davis, Apol
lo, Hinze and Whitney—and so
we offer them to you with the
Established knowledge that they cannot
1853 fail to please.
