Fort Sam Houston, Texas, June 12.
—Add the names of three more far-
sighted McKinney youths to the
scroll of patriots, for the applications
of Messrs. William Harrel Byars,
James Emmitte Lindsey, and John
Richard Rush, for admittance to the
Citizens’ Military Training Camp to
be held at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, dur-
ing the month of August were ap-
proved today by the Commanding
General, Eight Corps Area,
The Eighth Corps Area is rapidly
forging ahead of the other Corps
Areas in the matter of securing ap-
plications for the summer training
Camps and, with two more months
to go, only some eleven hundred
applications are needed to put the
Corps Area over the top for complete
quotas. This tak should not be as
stupendous as it might appear, for
during the past week over one
thousand applicants have been ac-
cepted for the summer camps in
this Corps Area, the figures now
being 3,200 out of a maximum quota
of 4.300,
Allocation of students to the var-
ious camps to be held in the Corps
Area to date gives Fort Sill, Okla-
homa the lead with over eleven
hundred students, Fort Sam Hous-
tton, Texas, running a close second
with over 900, Fort Logan, Colo-
rado, 450, Fort Huachuca, Arizona,
250, and Camp H. J. Jones, in the
neighborhood of 160. At this rate of
progress there is little doubt but
that the 1924 training camps will
be the largest ever held in the
Eighth Corps Area. Con narative
Crops are all looking pretty good
