® CfiMP PIKE NOTES
Camp Pike, Aug. 5.—Dur
ing the first six months oi tht
year, some 10,000 testaments
were given away free by the
Y.M.C.A. More than 16,00(
men promised to read theii
testaments daily, while 5.00C
made decisions for a ehristiar
life. While there was no spec
ial effort along the following
lines 621 signed the anti-pro
fanity pledge, 751 the person
al purity pledge and 225 the
anti-gambling pledge. These
are some of the worth-while
by-products of the religions
side of the “Y” work, which
has for it’s aim the making ot
better citizens and the winning
of the war. 1 hat’s a plat
form that ought to be broad
enough for any and all of us.
Reports from Camp Beaure
gard are to the effect that
more than 50 carrier pigeons
from the army signal depart
ment were killed in June with
in a radius of Alexandria, La.
A visit to the carrier piegon de
tail at Camp Pike reveals that
none have so far been killed in
or around Little Rock. It is
uncertain whether the peoph
of Arkansas are more careful
than those of Louisana with
respect to the government mes
sengers, or whether they are
just naturally poorer shots.
Soldiers of the 87th Division
who failed to pass the overseas
examination and were left be
hind in Camp Pike while their
comrades in arms went on to
Camp Dix have been placed in
Class B and have been sent to
various parts of the country
as members of the United
States Guards. They will be
used as federal guards at ports,
on the border or where home
service is needed. A number ol
army departments are hereaf
ter to be made up exclusively
of Class B men .
__Out on North Avenue, in “Y
building No. 169, which is for
the use of commissioned of
ficers, each day meets the
board which is looking after
the matter of naturalizing the
soldiers of the camp who have
taken out their first papers but
not their second. One of the
applicants, an Italian, was
asked, “What is an anarchist?”
And the soldier very promptly
replied, “An anarchist is a fel
low who makes his own whis
key’, his own law and his own
bomb.’’
With some fifteen thousand
men in tents and stables, the
Red Triangle men have been
kept on the jump attending to
their regular area and building
and still finding time to get
out among the newcomers with
stamps, stationery, reading
matter, holding song and re
ligious services, supervising
athletic exercises, wrapping
and mailing home their civilian
clothing, giving advice and
answering questions, etc. When
a second lieutenant is in charge
of 350 men he welcomes a “Y”
man with the glad hand and
tells him to go to it.

WATCH YOURSELF GO BY
Just stand aside and watch
yourself go by—
Think of yourself as “he” in
stead of “I.”
Pick flaws; find fault; forge
the man is you
And strive to make your esti
mate ring true.
The faults of others then wi!
dwarf and shrink.
Love’s chain grows stronger b>
one mighty link
When you with “he” as substi
tute for “I”
Have stood aside and watcheC
yourself go by.

And They all ask Jed
Hicks How s Crops?
Jed Hicks he drives up main
street and he drops m on Si
Greeg, and iSi Gregg says,
‘How’s Crops?” And some
times Jed says, “Si, 1 never see
a crop like this one promises
to be,”—and orders big, all
kinds of farm supplies. 'I ill Si,
he gets real sunshine in his
eyes, and says to Emmet Few,
the drummer, “Pew make that
one ton of sugar, 1 said, two,
and tell them hulsale tellers,
i’ll discount them bills oi
Lheirn and pay the whole
amount.”
And then Scrimp Short, the
banker, he jest hops across the
street and says to Jed, “How’s
crops?” And Jed says to him,
“Scrimp, she’s going to be a
oumper crop, I tell you—now
you see.” And Scrimp he rubs
his hands and feels his oats,
and tells his customers he’ll
take them notes at nine per
cent . And find's he got about
another thousand to let out—
and thinks the notes can be re
newed again for, mebbe, eight
percent instead of ten.
And old Doc Blake, he sees
Jed Hicks and slops right thru
the mud and says, “Jed, how's
crops?” And Jed says, “Doc,
I never see the best of this here
year for corn, oafs and wheat.”
And Doc he smiles because he’s
got about five thousand on his
books a standin out. So he
goes to the garage and says,
"Green you better order that
new machine we talked about
the other day,”—and goes into
his tailors and orders a suit of
clothes.
Jed Hicks ain’t much to look
at, but his say is purty power
ful in a business way. And
when he says the crop is hard
to beat, you see folks perk up
along the street. Si Gregg he
gives big orders for his store
and Scrimp Short finds he’s got
a plenty more good money to
lend out—and everywhere you
find that easy-money-coming
air. It has some meaning when
Scrimp Short he hops across
the street and says to Jed,
“How’s crops?”
15 YEAR OLD BOY

Hackett, Aug. 6.—P. C.
