CAMP PIKE NOTES
Wearing the ring of a Ger
man major and the belt of a
German machine gunner, both
of whom he had bayoneted,
John A. Neill of St. Francis
Arkansas, arrived at. Camp j
Pike this week with other Ark- j
ansas men from overseas. Neill
who also wears a gold chevron'
for six months service, has had ;
many thrilling experiences. I
He told Y. M. C. A. and others
with whom he has conversed,;
that while he wouldn't take a i
million dollars for his experi-j
ence, he wouldn’t go through j
it again for a million. Neill
was in the trenches at Bryzant
and in the fighting at Verdun,
where he was wounded and
gassed. Neill served also in
the Metz drive, which was a
“walk away” for the Ameri
cans and allies, he says. Neill |
enlisted in September, 1917. j
There are hundreds of girls
wives and mother,^ oi' the fu
ture who will be able to take
a day off occasionally, thanks
to the work of the school for
bakers and cooks at Camp
Pike, Ark. This school, about
the biggest in the world, has
graduated 177 bakers, 899
mess sergeants, 840 first and
1,370 second cooks since its ;
establishment in August 1916.j
The central school for illit-j
erates, established last week
at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium
at Camp Pike by the educa
tional department of the army,
will turn out 2,000 men who
will be able to read and write
simple sentences. Fine prog
ress is being made by the stu
dents due to their application
and to the simple and efficient;
methods employed by the Y i
secretaries..
Demobilization is being car- j
ried out faster at Camp Pike
with greater rapidity than any;
other camp in the country, ac
cording to reports from the !
Arkansas cantonment. About
8,000 men were discharged
last week, with about 1,600
on Friday. The average is
j,000 a day. Some delay in;
discharged men in camp is
caused by instructions to re- '
lease immediately upon arriv
al the men from overseas, who
are beginning to reach the
camp There are about 28,000
men now in Camp Pike, with
4,000 more on the rails. There
are 1,339 officers still in Camp
Pike.
Five hundred and twenty
officers and men of the air ser
vice reached Camp Pike last
week, after serving for nearly
a year in England. The train
was in charge of Lieut. John C.
Jelly of Warren, and was ac
companied from Camp Mills
by M. E. LeDieu, a Y secre
tary who looked after the com
fort and welfare of the men
enroute. Lieut. Jelly was the
officer in charge of a publica
tion issued by his detachment
in England, and which praises
highly the services rendered
by the Y. M. C. A. These men
were discharged almost im
mediately upon arival.
Just how most of the men
in the army feel about their
service is well demonstrated
by the declaration of a young
Arkansawyer. ‘T didn’t want
to come in” he candidly con
fessed, “but had I known what
I now know, nothing could
have kept me out. It has been
a great experience, one that
will be of value to me all my
life, I wouldn’t take anything
for it. I’ve enjoyed the life,
and know that I am better
physically, mentally and spir
itually for the time spent here.
The Y. M. C. A. service and
instruction have helped me
wonderfully .
Arkansas men at Camp Pike
are hearing daily lectures,
some interestingly illustrated
with movie slides, on the ad
vantage of good, roads, good
schools, improved farming and
dairying methods, as well as
instruction in business methods
and practices. This instruction
is being given by Y. M. C. A.
secretaries, and is part of the
plan of the morale department
to keep the minds of the men
occupied and instruct them in
the duties of good citizenship.
Prof. Geo. W. Reid, formerly
superintendent of the schools
at Fort Smith and now in
charge of the Y building 34
is speaking daily to 500 men
detailed to him by the army
officers on good schools and
good roads and the benefits
received from them.

Our new county judge. Prof.
J. W. Simmons of Cotton Plant
was a McCrory visitor Tues
day. Judge Simmons stated *-o
us while here that it will be
his constant endeavor to serve
the whole people to the best of
his ability as their public of- •
ficial and we feel sure that
when he will have retired as 1
our county and probate judge
there will be no just cause for ;
any criticism of his acts in the ■
above capacity. Our people
around McCrory have confi- 1
dence in the above gentleman 1
and believe he will be untiring
in his effoffrts to make us one <
of, if not the best judge Wood- j
ruff Countv ever had. «

MONEY IN RABBITS
The. present shortage of
beef and pork cannot be remP
died quickly however, rabbit
breed rapidly, mature earK
and furnish palatable and 1
highly nutritious meat; conse
quently they can be made to
increase our meat supply enor
mously within a few months.
The ffict that rabbits are '
grown easily, maintained at a
very small feed cost, not sus
ceptible to disease, stand con
finment well, are very prolific
and require but a small space
in the back yard or under a
back shed should cause many
to turn their attention to this
industry.
The Belgian Hare, Flemish
Giant and New Zealand Red
are recommended on account
of their size, prolificness and
their splendid qualities.
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 496
on Rabbit Culture has just
been issued by the United
States Department of Agricul
ture and will be sent free to
anyone interested. Informa
tion on this subject will be fur
nished gladly on application
to H. B. Landsen, Extension
Division, Old State House, Lit
