Pork at $50 a Barrel
Tops Civil War Record

CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-Pork available
for immediate delivery commanded $50
a barrel to-day, the highest price on
record. The topmost figures during
Civil War days, when gold was at a
big premium, was s43. To-day's sales
of pork showed that the commodity
had risen $3.50 a barrel in the last
fortnight.
Huge purchases Of packing house
products for the government was the
chief reason ascribed tor the remarka-
bic jump in values.

Countries yesterday were firm
during the greater part of the day with
offers readily taken by traders who had
sold short in anticipation OF reaction
on the promise of q more liberal move
ment. Toward the close there was d
partial decline under profit taking Tor
over the holiday and tnal quotations
showed comparatively little net change,
being &c lower to &c higher. Cash
corn at western points was irregular,
but il was evident that buyers are will
ing to pay good prices for high grade
corn, while even the low grades seem
to command good figures. Weather con-
ditions were somewhat unsettled over
the West. whereas bright cold weather
is urgently needed TO cure the crop
which contains an unusually large per-
centage Of soft corn.

Wheat.-The outlook for the new
crop continues favorable, with the eS-

in some sections. The acreage, it seems,
will not be as large as had been hoped
for in view of the prospective large re-
quirements for next season, though a
record area has been planted. With
favorable conditions throughout the
winter and during the growing season
next year large crop is possible. The

FROM A SOLDIER BOY
Leo Lyon of Oakland. Writes
From Fort OglethOrp, Ga.

To the Editor of The Republican.
We simply ask tor enough space to
let you know that Oakland is right on
the map at Fit. Oglethorpe and that we
are gradually drifting from the rookie
stage to rank one and all fine specimens
Of American manhood, to typify in our
future service the high qualities of the
American soldier courage, daring
chivalry and unhagging zeal in the
cause for which we enlisted, to have a
part in the most dramatic chapter in
our history.
There are some yet who do notrealize
that war is actually at hand. and their
country's stake in this the greatest war
for civilization, for justice and human
ity. Some stay at home for protection
but at the same time branding himself
with the most opprrobious of all terms,
"a Stacker. - The war is going to end,
that is certain, and we have no reason to
doubt the outcome OF this conflict, but
we have come to the point where we
must sacrifice many things for our own
welfare and they that do this will be
the heirs of our worlds prosperity, and
they are not going to make these sacri-
fees and permit those who stay at home
to enjoy the blessings of peace tor which
their sacrifices are being made, with
/ thnrnfora
who is eligible will some day regret or
pay the penalty under the supreme con-
| tempt of "a Stacker.
/ The fellow who has said he would
rather be live coward than a dead
hero was fool. ANY man had better
be dead than have the world estimate
him as coward. The mother of a boy
would find more consolation in standing
above his grave, than she would realiz-
ing that she had raised "a Stacker, a
weakling, a pampered pet who had
overlooked the only opportunity to be
of some use to the world
Sometimes as we approach hardships
we stop and wonder why this great
nation of the highest ideals has to be
called to arms for freedom and right
but we then cheer up knowing that we
are boys among the most manly lot of
boys that this nation has ever develop
| ed.
| We were glad to welcome two more
Oakland boys to our camp last week:
Delbert Davis and Grover Compton. T.
A. Currey, Robert E. Helbig. Harold
M. Dawson, Leo S. Lyon are perman-
entity assigned to the 1st Evacuation
Hospital in American history andin train
ing for non commissioned officers; also
W. F. King assigned to 54th Infantry
Field Hospital infermary.
awe are all enjoying ourselves, con-
tented las we have to be-, with camp
life and the sun rays of Georgia and ex-
pect to soon advance to another land
with greatest prospects of returning
with the banner of victory.
Very respectfully,
