LETTER FROM IRWIN CoGGIN

New Port News, Va, June II, 1918
Dear Brother and Family:
Has been several DAYS since ! had
an opportunity to write you. am
making a IL hr. liberty here. Had
a AS hr. liberty in Norfolk a few
days ago. Liberty sure helps while
we're making trips across. ] must
say the people back home think the
Navy is different to what it really IS.
My, but we do have "gun watches"
to stand at sea. We sure kept a
sharp lookout for subs coming into
our own port. Wish we could have
gotten at the one that is sinking so
many of our ships off the coast.
Suppose it was too wise, for we sure
had guns for it; A loin. Turrets, 16
Gin, Z 3in., 2 anti aircraft and l
Founders and machine guns all loaded
too. Don't you think we could have
blown her into pieces?
I am in a Gin. gun crew. 1t takes
8 men to man it. A charge of pow
der weighs 38 lbs. and a shell 105
lbs. You bet she makes a roar. Our
crew has fired target practice / time,
IL shots. W. will fire again tomor-
row. l think we will fire a salute,
16 guns at one time.
I bet everything is pretty at home

all the time;sit is too far from ma
ture. Give me green fields and
county roads. Will not get to ON
home for d few months suppose.
There will be no furloughs till our
ship goes into dry docks for about 8
months. That's hard to tell anything
about now for they are using the
Battleships to the limit, so many
troops to go over. But the Montana
is in need of repairs now and we may
get our orders to go in any time.
Tell Mr.. Burdine / think of home
often and will write soon. Tell him
one of his class of IT is doing his bit
and that he is glad of it too, although
he does get very tired and discour-
aged at times. Sure would like to.
show him over the Monty. Is he 60

How about the boys from V? Have
any of them joined the navy? If any
have find out their Co., No. and adj

would sure like to see them. If John

War Savings Stamps

War Savings Stamps
Mississippians are going to
be asked on June % to lend the
United States government for
ty millions of dollars, to be paid
sometime between that date
and January /, 1919.
This is the purpose of the
War Savings Stamp campaign
now under way in every nook
and corner of the state.
Many persons have the idea
that citizens of the state are
going to be asked to purchase
forty millions of dollars worth
of the government securities on
June %.
This would be an impossible
task, even for people SO patriot
ic as Mississippians.
All Uncle Sam wishes you
to do is TO agree on that
date TO purchase between
June % and January l,
1919, your share Of the
states quota.
You will have from June
%, until the end of the
present year to pay for the
stamps. If you wish you
may pay for your share by
the month, as you are pay
ing for your Liberty Bonds,
or you may wait until the
fall crops are in, and buy
the whole amount at that
time;
The United States govern
ment is offering, in other words,
the choisest investment in the
world-that is what a War
Savings Stamp is-to be paid
for at your leisure.
War Savings Stamps pay four
per cent, compounded quarter
ly. They are as safe as the
government Of the United
States itself, they are imme-
diately convertible into specie
or currency at any postoffice,
~ their purchase helps the
laudable work of b~anishing
The House of Hohenzollern for
ever.
Here is a concrete example
of the purpose of the War
Savings Campaign: Suppose
you are asked to pledge your
self to purchase $1,000 worth
of the Stamps. That is all you
can buy, because the govern
ment considers the investment
too choice for the nations mil
lionaires to gobble it all up.
You buy the stamps in the
month Of June say, paying 1884
for the $1,000 worth. In 1928
the United States government
pays you $1,000 for the stamps,
a profit Of S166. In the mean
time, your money has been
perfectly safe, and if at any mo-
ment you had needed it, you
could have got it back, and
with interest for the time Uncle
Sam kept it.
Could anything be fairer or
more generous than that?
If you have not the cash to
buy the Stamps in June, you
may wait until October, when
the crops are in. At that time,
each $5,stamp would cost $4.21
IF you decide to wait until the
last month of the year, you
7 fM -
would pay only 1928 for each
SIS stamp.
June 20 has been set apart
by President Woodrow Wilson
and Governor Theo. G. Bilbo
as Thrift Day for the nation
and state. 1t is dedicated to

Be sure to strain the lemon juice so
no pulp gets into the bottle. then this

He was bold in his predictions that

Washington, Dec. 4.-The guaran- teed rice for the 1919 wheat, fixed at $2.26 bushel, Chicago basis. will stand, even though the Lever act un- der which the price was fixed. should become imperative through conclus- ion of peace, in the opinion of the food administration.
 The administration tonight issued d statement interpreting the Lever acs and pointing out that the law provides that Fall rights or liabilities under this act arising before it's termination shall continue and may be enforced in the same manner as if the act had not terminated Wheat growers in many parts of the country, it was said have become -apprehensive that that guaranteed price for the 1913 crop might be rescinded through con- clusion of war. -

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

Kew Orleans. Dec. 4.--Wide ad- vances were made ill the early trading in cotton today, but in the afternoon when early buyers tried to realize their profits the market refuser to absorb the offerings thrown uon it and sharp break resulted. The close was irregular, five points off to ' points up, net for the day.
 The opening was at the advance and the tendency was higher for some time after on the growing belief that the government reports on ginning and production next week would be bullish. A prvate bureau crop esti- mate of 11.317 ,000 bales, not includ- in linters. and the persistent report that all restrictions on shipments on cotton and cotton goods were about to be removed were features that help ed the market on it's way up. There was also better feeling reflected from the spot markets of the south.
 A private crop estimate of il ,317 ,000 bales, not counting linters, increased the demand. In trading up to noon the advance was widened to 65 to 71 points. -...
 Spot cotton steady and unchanged. Sales on the spot 1,O69: to arrive 1000. Low middling 24.50: middlink 2S.25; good middling 2923. Receipts 14,103; stock 4C4,013.
 Buyers of the early hours tried to take profits and a quick break ensued. At 1 o'clock the trading months were 17 to 2S points under yesterday final prices.
 1 Cotton closed steady, five points down to 10 points up net.

:" tCHICAGO GRAIN,

Chicdgo, Dec. 4.-Unofficial reports today that the January average prices of hogs"would be up to the December level helped to give the corn market q decided lift.

 From the outset the market had an upward tilt owing to some extent to new appeals from the food administra- tion that supplies to be kept flowing to Europe in greater volume.
