have had to write any letters. We
are in an attractive old French town
up In the hills and quite comfortably
settled. 1t is really wonderful
country though the people and fields
seem a bit Anticipated. Much larger
fields than we ever see In Maine and
every inch of 1t cultivated. The
houses are all stone with tile or fiat
stone roofs; part of the house being
given over as stable for the cattle.
The people. mostly old women and
children are extremely picturesque
with their wooden shoes which can
be heard for long distance as they
come gathering down the street.
All the way thru France we saw
women blowing and digging In the
fields, usually dressed In black and
with their pale faces a sad looking
lot They are very hospitable peo-
pie, doing everything for US that they
can and on the other hand our men
get on wonderfully we'll with them es-
pecially those who can talk French.
We officers are quartered In new
barracks, two of us to a room, clean
and quite comfortable-as soon as we
can get some stoves set up. Not all
the comforts of home but one can put
up with a great deal when they have
to and actually enjoy 1t.
Hope this letter reaches you by
Thanksgiving.
Yours,
REG.

BOTH SIDES STANDING PAT.
Conferees on War Tax Bill Fail t
Reach COMPROMISE Agreement.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Conferees on
the war tax bill again today under
took to reach an agreement on the
postage section. The situation still is
complicated because Of the senate con-
ferees' refusal to approve finally the
tentative agreement to accept a limited
zone system on second class mail rates.
Their attitude on the subject caused
heated discussion at yesterdays con-
ference.
When the conferees met today both
sides were standing pat on their re-
spective positions. house members for
general zone system and senate
members for no increase other than
a quarter of cent a pound in the
present one-cent rate.
The conference report on the S11,-
100000 war credits bill was adopted
today by the senate without roll call.
Approval by the house and final en-
actment are expected tomorrow.
Records for speed and unanimity
were established in the bills consider
alton. It passed the house Sept. 8, and
the senate Sept. Is, after brief debate
and by unanimous votes. Conferees
reached agreement yesterday within a
half hour and today's senate discus
sion occupied but fifteen minutes.
The bill authorizes 100000, 900 of
new bonds for allies loans; $685., 000,-
900 for converting bonds previously
authorized for that and other purposes
and $1,000, 600, 900 each of war savings

edness.

prompted by the chamber Of commerce.
had arbitrarily increased the discount
under the government prices at coun-
try stations. from s to 8 cents bush-
Ell on wheat. The report was that
where q farmer had wheat, that under
the government fixation would bring
him 81 at country station, the coun-
try buyer who had been taking on
cents bushel to cover all costs Of
handling, now is taking of cents and
that the farmers are protesting vigor-
ously against what they term q hold
up"
That the reports are quite misrep-
resentative of the facts was the state
ment on change.
Case Makes Statement.
Relative to the matter, Charles NJ.
Case. vice president of the Atlantic
Elevator company, said: t
The government does not state
what the price of wheat shall be at a
country point. It merely states that
country dealers shall not ask an I'M
reasonable margin
Mr.. Barnes warned the grain men in
Washington that their margin should
be sufficient to cover all their expen-
sas, because there would be no premi-
ums for choice wheat no mixing. and
no carrying charge.
At the start the Grain Bulletin.
which is an agency representing prac-
tically all of the country dealers in the
northwest and which sends out the
price cards on instructions from the
country dealers themselves. sent out
its cards on cent margin, as that
seemed to be reasonable basis on
which the country elevator men
thought they could afford to buy.
Trade Paper Suggests Margin.
The confusion and losses occasioned
by the new federal grades, however,
brought storm of requests from the
country for a wider margin and the
Grain Bulletin sent the cards out on
a basis Of a cent marginn.
Some farmers probably think that
the government had specified the
cent margin, but neither the govern
ment the grain corporation. the food
administration nor the chamber OF
commerce have anything to say about
prices at country points. provided the
margin Is reasonable.

Chicago. Sept. 20.-Corn-Shorts in
wet weather and predictions of frost
over the northwest tonight. The cold
wave however, is not expected to be
severe and will be followed by warm
weather. according to the forecast
There was. however, plenty of corn for
sale on the bulges but closing prices
were practically unchanged from those
of last night. Old corn in the sample
market was strong, being quoted at the
close to cents higher. Reports from
the country indicate the crop has made
rapid progress during the last week and
that, in many sections, it is out of dan
ger from frost. Bears are timid, on
account of uncertainty Of limited prices
and as long as the crop Is not fully
matured, it takes little buying to cause
rallies.
Oats-The short interest in Septem-
Der oats evidently exceeded the general
belief and buying Of September and De-
cember was again on in a large way.
Houses with seaboard connections are
also buying the current delivery. While
receipts have gained moderately they
are still light for this season and in
view Of the large crop. A material in
crease in the movement will probably
occur during the month of October.
