n s CONTROL OF WHEAT CROP
MEANS CHEAPER BREAD.

WASHINGTON, August 31-(By
/ Union Associated Press)-The people
Of America are absolutely assured Of
cheaper bread within the next few
weeks, at the least. The Government
has planned to take over tomorrow,
the wheat crop Of the nation at a
figure which will enable the dealers
to make profit, while the people Of
the country will be protected. Based
on August conditions the 1917 wheat
crop was estimated. at 653,0o0,000
bushels. No restrictions will be made
as to quantities which will be purch.
ased and no charges will be made ex-
cept nominal percentage to cover
the costs Of operation. A properly
created committee will check all trans
actions at every point. The Govern
ment, after tomorrow will require IL
censes for all elevators and mills with
capacity greater than 100 barrels a
day. The conditions Of issuing the IL
censes are that only the reasonable
and customary charges shall be made
for warehouse service; that no wheat
shall be stored for more thirty days
without approval of the Administra.
ton, and that certain information %
to receipts and shipments be regularly
supplied. Mr.. Hoover has completed
arrangements to stabilize the price Of
wheat throughout the year and obviate
the possibility either of unduly high
prices to the consumer through the
advancement Of the export price under
the influence Of the great foreign de-
mand or by the supply getting into
speculative hands, and, on the other
hand, it will also protect the producer
BY preventing fluctuations which
might force the price below the cost
Of productions.

America

My country, It's -cf thee,
Sweet land Of liberty,
Of thee | sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the Pilgrims pride,
From ev'ry mountain side,
Let freedom ring.
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name l love;
l love thy rocks and ri)ls,
Thy woods ard tempted hills,
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedoms song;
Let mortal tongues awake,
Let all that breathe partake,
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
Our fathers God to Thee,
Author Of liberty.
To Thee we sing;
Long may -our,iaad be bright,
With freedoms holy light,
Protect us bv Thy might,
Great God, our King!

tell you that our hearts and souls are
with you on your journey" said Mr..
Witty.
"Some of us will join you soon. .
It is hard for many of us, old and
young to see you leaving us behind.
Members of the Battery, we are here
to pay you the highest tribute, which
you so justly deserve and upon your
return, as it now is, anything in the
"Queen City of the Delta" is at your
command"
Commends Men Highly.
Cheer after cheer punctutiated Mr..
Witty's speech. He highly compil-
mented the local organization when
he said that "This will be no futile
war, as it is sometimes called, if more
units like Battery c are brought into
the conflict.
"We know that every man is dong
his level best to soldier and we know
that you are going to make a record.
greenwood bids you goodbye and
God bless you.'
Prayer by Rev Hall.
A short and very beautiful prayer
was rendered by Rev. j. A. Hall.
He asked God to bless the men and
take care of them through their days
in the training camp and to protect
them from the missiles of the enemy
After this program, the men were
ordered to board the train.
The following ten minutes were
spent in good wishes, tears, kissing
and hand-shaking.
Every man on the ground was touch
ed by the spectacle and.many could not
hold back their feelings.
Between Three and Five Thousand
People Witness Leaving.
The drive-wheel of the big engine
milling the five passenger coaches and
the two baggage cars turned over at
exactly 9:27 o'clock and Battery 9 had
begun their departure.
The Community Band struck up
Dixie. and amid cheers and tears tne
waving of a final farewell to their
,oved ones and the return from the
gallant. red.blooded, young Americans
from Greenwood, the train moved on.
The crowds stood and gazed at the
biz. black moving machine that was
taking their boys away; a teaf trickled
down the face Of an anxious mother,
she sobbed and then-her boys last
words: "Don't you worry mother; it's
for you we're fighting too" They
came back I'd her and she turned her
.teps homeward, having done her part
IN this big fight to subdue militarism.
Il was estimated that from three to
five thousand people had gathered to
honor the local artillerymen on their
leaving.

First Mississippi Field Artillery, COM
posed Of two hundred noble citizens Of
Lehore County, entrained this morn
ing for Jackson. At the State capital
they will undergo preliminary train
ing before they leave for Alexandria,
where they will receive more
thorough education in the artillery art,
before they leave for France, where
they will take part in the worlds
greatest war and do their bit in the
fight for democracy.
Every one Of the brave two hundred
expects to be in France year from
this Afternoon.
The men fully realized this morning
the cause Of their journey.
Never have the people of Greenwood
ben called on for more grave and
courageous task than that of bidding
their sons Husbands, relatives and
loved ones goodbye this morning. It.
was indeed sad scene, even when
viewed by one who had no relations
in the organization.
With a mother shedding tears over
their shoulders and mumbling some
what of final farewell, the game lads
struck it out and in the parting good
bye, they dried their tears and bid
their patriotic mothers a lasting word
Of encouragement.
It was the same with the wives OF
some of the soldiers and the sweet
hearts too. Many a heart was sore as
the train left the station, and more
| than ont couple bravely tried to keep
back the tears, as they re-told to one
| another stories that have been on their
| minds for the past few weeks. But to
no avail; it was as if nature had in
tended it so and the young American
ladies sobbed softly while the young
American soldiers boarded their cars.
Welcomed in City.
The Battery left Camp Sam Keesler
at 8:15 o'clock and marched from the
camp grounds up to Market street.
turning right they continued their
march up Market. Crowds began to
gather from everywhere and In very
few minutes all the business houses
Of the city were closed.
The company stopped at the corner
of Howard and Market and rendered
"Tipperary." The song was very fitt.
ing for the occasion, but it was almost
a cruel grind on the hearts Of the
Young soldiers to utter very much
sonp. with their mothers, wives and
sweet-hearts rapidly gathering around
them.
sOn their march to the depot, the
singing continued and with a little
added enthusiasm.
| A trail of eager citizens followed IN
their trail and would not heed tne
alarms of the automobile sirens to the

ROME, August 31-It was stated
in the Vatican today that Pope Bene-
dict, upon receiving President Will

appointment he felt.

little room for further peace efforts
at present.

had hoped for a more favorable re-
sponse from the United States than
anywhere else.
