Rev. William Cooksey of Searcy de
livered a timely lecture on Y. M. C. A.
War Work, a large and appreciative
audience greeting him as most of the
churches joined in the services, which
were at the chautauqua tabernacle.
The speaker began by referring to
his four years labor here as pastor of
the Baptist church, which he stated
were the happiest of his and Mrs.
Cooksey’s lives, and he stated that if
hi? plans did not miscarry he expect
ed soon to live here again, unless the
good people of Mena erected a wall
so high it wonld be impossible to
climb over. His flock at Searcy had
consented to his taking a month’s va
cation to lecture on the Y. M. C. A.
in the war, when he was requested
several weeks ago to take up the
work. First he, with some ten others,
r ent three days and nights a« Camp

He described life as he saw it among
the boys and stated that they were
well cared for every way. given plenty
of wholesome food, such as beef, ham,
batter, milk and all kinds of vege
tables, all well cooked, and that they
slept on cots furnished with good
springs and cotton mattresses and
feather pillows.
There are five large Y. M. C. A.
buildings furnished with good desks,
plenty of stationery, etc., and all
kinds of good books for their use,
free of charge, and the boys took ad
vantage of this and were to be seen
therein whenever they had idle mo
ments, Amusements of all kinds also
is furnished free of charge, including
“movies.” The camp is absolutely
clean and sanitary. The speaker said
he saw less than a hundred flies, not
counting those he saw in a trap, and
there were traps to gather in the few
that came. It is a large camp, having
an estimated capacity of about 45,000.
He spoke for nearly an hour and
his hearers were very much interested
in his message on the Red Triangle.
League work, a branch of the war Y.
M. C. A. At the conclusion of his re- j
marks he called upon all who could
to become members, saying that only
the sum of $1.00 would be accepted!
from each and thereupon some 100!
gave their names for membership.
