THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY.

There's a man out there who fights
for you
And the things that you hold true.
There'sa cause out there you're back
ing up
With all that's best in you.
Now, here's a need Of the man out
there
A need you can easily fill
Come, cram his punch with the smokes
he loves;
Kick in with a dollar bill.
For it's not the crash of the heavy
gun
Nor the strain on the man who
serves;
It's lacking a smoke when it's smoking
time
That f~razzles a soldiers nerves.
Though there isn't much that we can
do,
Back home, safe out of the muss,
We can sure send smokes, and we'll do
it, too
Let them count on that from US.

DAILY TO HAVE
BATTERY WRITER
Private Carl A. Julian, Old Newspape,
Man, to Write Daily of Artillery
Happenings.

As does every other modern daily
newspaper, The Daily Commonwealth
will have a staff correspondent with
Battery C, First Mississippi Field Ar
tillery, who will send in news every
day no matter where the local soldiers
may be.
Private Carl A. Julian, now a men,
Der of Battery G, and who, before his
enlistm ent, was doing newspaper work
in Louisiana, will represent The Daily
Commonwealth.
Mr.. Julian is a versatile writer and
a man of wide experience. He knows
the newspaper business from the front
to the rear; has held telegraph and To-
cal positions on a number of newspa-
pers and his writing is sure to be re-
ceived %favorably.
Mr.. Julian will make an attempt to
send something in every day, in order
that the folks they left behind them"
may keep up with the happenings Of
their boys.

SOUTH'S CORN IN NORTH.

A Memphis grain man sold to a
Chicago dealer corn for October de-
livery, to be loaded in West Tennes-
see and Mississippi. This corn will
command a fine price.
The dealer gives a good hint to our
people if they would realize from their
corr crop.
In order to get a good market for
corn it must be shelled and loaded.
One can load only 600 or 700 bushels
of ear corn as against 1000 bushels
of shelled corn on a car.
; One can shell corn and load it and
get the top price. A shelter can be
attached to a gin, or if one has only
a small crop he can buy a small
shelter that can be run by a gasoline
engine. Not many years ago the
Kentucky farmer shelled his corn on
a hand shelter.
There will be a fine market for
shelled corn and u people can get
the top prices if they get their corn
out early and see that it is in proper
market condition.
But one must net she'll corn and
then store it. The best way to keep
corn is in the ear. If corn is shelled
and sacked it ought to go to market
at once. = %
When corr is shelled it goes. through
a heat or sweat if it is left in bulk.
This thing is cared for by the elevator
men. When you get ready to shell, be
ready to ship.-Commercial Appeal,
9th inst.

MY
BY Helen M. Doyle.

By Helen M. Doyle.
"Come out and see the sunset" my
neighbor said to me,
ut is so beautiful tonight, / want that
you should see"
l felt almost impatient and l did not
want to go,
For there were things upon the stove
that needed watching so.
The chilli-sauce was cooking, and the
jelly would not jell,
And the kitchen was a melting-pot of
heat and smell.
But l tinkered with the damper and ]
laid my apron by,
And l went out with my neighbor to
Tanning autumn sky.
There above the mountains was the
glory of the Lord,
In fiery, FURNISHED chariot, in mighty,
flaming sword,
In strength and power and majesty,
His glory shone around.
It drew US close together, and each
gasped the others hand,
In a quickened understanding, in a
comprehension grand,
As we listened in the silence to the
. symphony divine
That found a fervelt echo in my neigh
boris heart and mine,
The colors gently faded, and the quiet
evening came;
l went back to my kitchen, but moth
ing was the same,
A song had entered in my heart, a
peace lay in the air,
And a wondrous benediction seemed
to follow everywhere.
So l thanked my God for neighbors
and for all His beauties sent
To rest His weary children and whisp-
er His content.
Good Housekeeping.

COULD'T KEEP THEM.
Greenwood Business League Wanted
Boys to Remain Here.

Secretary Hays, Of the Greenwood
Business League, sent a wire to Wash
ington the first of the week, addressed
to U. S. Senator John S. Williams, ask
ing that Battery G be allowed to re-
main in Greenwood, until the canton
ment at Alexandria was ready for
them.
1t was later learned that it was i'm.
possible for this to be done, as the
entire Artillery Regiment would need
training together.

"pIE DAY" EVERY TUESDAY.

70 - sL
According to one Of the ladies on
the committee, an idea seems to pre-
vail that "Pie Day" for the soldiers
encamped here was to be held only
on one Tuesday.
"Pie Day. is supposed to be every
Tuesday in the week just as long as
the Battery remains in Greenwood.
Those interested In the members Of
the Battery should remember that
"Pie Day" il always looked forward
to by the boys and that they appre-
ciate the efforts Of the ladies Of the
city.

WINTER WHEAT MAKES
EXCELLENT PROGRESS
Good Growth in Principal Growing
Area-Harvesting in
Gulf States

WASHINGTON. June 6. - The Govern.
mcnt weekly report says: Winter wheat
made excellent growth through the prin-
cipal wheat growing area. It is heading as
far north as, central Indiana ard Illinois
and is blooming in southern Missouri
Harvesting continues i'm the Gulf States
and has begun In southern oklahoma and
central South Carolina. Winter wheat
made good growth in oregon and was i'm
proved in Washington, but needs more sun
shine I'm that section.
Spring wheat continues to make favor
able growth except in North Dakota, where
It suffered from dry weather. Some wheat
lands in that state were plowed up for
flax
REPORTS indicate an improvement in con.
dition Of cotton over most of the cotton
region and in Georgia and Arkansas the
condition is now rather good, but still the
crop Is backward and making but slow
growth in most sections,
Complaints of poor and irregular stands
were received from tho Carolinas and
Louisiana and Of some small plants from
South Carolina and Mississippi.
Rain is needed on the stiff soil Of North
Carolina but an improved condition is in
