France, Oct, goth, 1918.
Dear Lora, Herbert and Kids
AS the sun is shining very beauti-
fully this morning, and finds me well
and enjoying life, | will write you
few lines.
The Huns haven't got me yet, and
l am glad to be living these lovely
days, even though the war is still 60
ing on. This is a fine morning to go
after the Germans. It reminds me
of the opening of the beautiful
spring. / can't keep from thinking
of home and in my Imagination / can
see the old house as it stands back
in the fields; the path and the spring,
and the number of times ! have stood
itun the yard and watched the peo-
pie pass. | am wondering if | will
ever have the opportunity of seeing
hopes of coming back after the war
is over. / am getting very tired of
the war anyhow l don't like the
idea of getting up every morning and
hearing the reports of the artillery
gunsin action, After each battle the
valleys are filled with smoke from the
great battles which are being fought.
You can see hardly any distance at
all. The other night friend and /
were listening to the artillery which
was in action, and the guns illumi-
mated the heavens until it looked like
lightning afar off. Every series Of
shots would turn the sky red. 1t is
wonderful to watch it!
Well, Lora, / wish you would ask
Lloyd if he is still getting his allot-
ment made to him, and if he is not
to let me know so that | can arrange
baout making another. Please don't
forget to tell him and then let me
know.
Your brother,
CORPT PRESTON HIXSON.

In announcing the recent decision of the Phelps Dodge Mercantile com pany, no longer to make deductions from payroll accounts of employees of the Copper Queen branch of the Phelps Dodge company, after october 1, the Douglas Dispatch says:
 The new arrangement probably will no: affect the American employees Of the company, but it is very likely that the Mexicans will meet difficulties in buying their foodstuffs. Insofar as the employees of the mining company are concerned they are understood to have no more credit at the company store than anywhere else. It puts all other mercantile establishments on an equal footing with the Phelps Dodge com pany in the trade field. so far as get ting the patronage of the company em- ployes. but it is not likely to affect the volume of business done by the company.
 The new arrangement applies to the accounts of the Fl Paso & Southwest ern railroad also.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Trading to- day was unimportant. The nominal turnover of 1SO,OOO shares was again confined to a few favorites, invest ment issues participating to a negligi ble degree.

C HAR GED BY FELLOW WORKERS
 AS DISLOYAL
TESTIFY ON STAND HE MADE RE- PEATED DlsLoYAL REMARKS ABOUT UNITED STATES, PREsI- DENT WILSON AND SEEMS TO LIKE MEXICO VERY GREATLY

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. I6.-Dave Lambert, shift boss at the C. & A. shelter, is having a hearing this after noon before United States Commis- sioner Beumler on a charge of violat- ing the espionage act. The indica- tions are that he will be bound over to the federal grand jury at Tucson.
 "A workingman is a fool to give money or fight for the government, = is one of the remarks attributed to Lambert by men who work under him at the smelter and who were put on the stand to. testify for the govern ment In the absence of Justin c. Daspit, agent of the department of justice here, who is i'll, the prosecu- tion was conducted by C.. I. McFar- lane, the government agent at Bis bee. Lamber has fifteen men work ing under him. All witnesses agreed that he is a good foreman and gets re- suits in turning out copper.
 Likes Mexico, It Seems
 Joseph Terrill, one of the men who works under Lambert, testified that at one time this summer the market price for Liberty bonds was under dis cussion out at the shelter, and Lam bert said: T don't give d- how low they get; no matter what happens in this country, can always go down into Mexico and make a living" The alleged remark about a man being a fool to buy bonds was made last May when the Bisbee deportation was up for discussion between the men.
 G. s. Kendrick corroborated Ter rill's testimony. In addition he said that last November in making the re- mark that a workingman was a fool to buy the bonds Lambert had added that this is a rich mans war; let them fight it out"
 A smelterman named Leahy said Lambert had referred to efforts at the shelter to sell bonds as begging mon- ey" for the government.
 T. c. Houghton testified to similar remarks from Lambert, attributing to him this statement: Wilson was a fool for going into this war. The country has no business in it. That's what workingmen get for electing him president You have children, so have l. When they grow up the govern ment will take them to fight its wars"
 D. G. Brown was the first witness put on the stand by the defense. He said he had never heard a disloyal utterance from Lambert He told of an occasion where he went out to sell some bonds to Mexicans and sue ceeded in selling five because Lam bert interpreted for him, explaining carefully to the Mexicans everything connected with the bonds.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Improved weather conditions more than offset in the corn market today the bullish effect of unfavorable crop reports. Prices closed unsettled, sc to 1zc ret lower with September s161% to S1.e17s and October $1.631s to S163iz Oats finished s to 1@1Bc up, and provisions off F cents to 35 cents.
 Weakness in the corn market did not develop until after material new upturns in values had taken place. the result chiefly of adverse opinions re- garding the crop situation. News of good rains brought about rather free selling and carried values well belcw yesterdays finish.
 Talk of delayed threshing in the northwest tended to force the oats market upward. Gossip was current also that many Illinois farmers were beginning their oats, and would not sell at present levels.
 Provisions lacked support. One of the reasons given was the fact that stocks of lard in warehouses here showed a substantial increase.

MANCHESTER, Mass, Aug. 16.- President and Mrs. Wilson had anr other delightful day for their brief outing on the North Shore. Business cares except for a few conferencoe with Colonel E. M. House. who has had a summer home near by, applr- ently were dropped.
 Before breakfast he went for a walk with Mrs. Wilson. Later he had a round of golf with Dr. Cary T. Gray. son and lunched with Colonel and Mrs. House.
 Word that the president was here drew hundreds of automobile parties to the resort. but the marine guard ex- tended their picket line and all ma chimes were barred from the road lead ing to the estate. The presidents de sire for absolute rest and seclusion was carried out to the letter.
