‘ the slowness of Little Rock citizens,

^Think of -it! There are back
counties" in this' state that have al
I ready gone over the top with more
l ih*n Mf quotas, and they were as
I aessed on the same basis we are. The
* trouble is we are too prosperous and
to^aeh. Working men are making
fmowthen they ever did before and
I business men are making greater
;> profits than they have ever known.
I We are publishing the honor roll now.
I The time has come to publish the
1 dishonor roll.”
|M- The most contemptable man to be
| found in any community of the Unit
U ed States at this time is the man who
is unwilling to do his full share.

Every week a large bundle of Indc
I pendents is sent to each reading room
of each Y. M. C. A. at Camp Pike and
. Camp Beauregarvi in order that the
/ boys from Jackson county may keep
In touch with happenings at home.
A sufficient number is sent to each
reading room to afford every Jack
eon county soldier a paper, and we will
appreciate the matter of parents or
friends writing the boys that the In
dependent may be obtained in this
manner. From this date hence we
will be glad to send the Independent!
