Sept. 2, 1918.
Dear Parents:
! How are you all? / am well
and getting along fine, with the
exception of a bad cold. All the
boys seem to have colds, which
| suppose is caused by the change
of climate. We have cool days
and cold nights here, and our
overcoats teel good in the early
part of the day. There hasn't
been any frost here yet and
everything is green.
This country is somewhat like
Tennessee. 1t is a limestone
country, very hilly, and blue
grass grows in abundance every
where. The principal crops
here seem to be wheat, rye,
clover, hay and other grass. |
haven't seen any corn growing
since left the States, guess the
seasons are too short for Indian
maize here, but other crops look
good.
have been in England for
several days. During the first
two days of my trip across the
Atlantic / was somewhat dizzy,
but soon got alright and never
did vomit, but some of the boys
hung their heads over the boat
and fed the fish. 1t took us
longer to. cross than it would in
peace times, but the ship crew
said that the waters were un-
usually calm. The weather was
clear and you could see a long
ways until the water snd sky
seem to meet.
The trains that have rode on
here have different coaches to
the ones in America. They are
arranged so only eight men are
in a coach, and the road is out
of one tunnel into another.
We are now living in tents.
Six men are put in one tent,
which are floored. Each man
has an overcoat, slicker and four
blankets. put my overcoat and
slicker on the floor, then spread
my blankets over them, and
crawl under and go to sleep. 1t
is not as soft as my feather bed
at home, but am getting along
alright. Don't know how long
will be in this camp, anywhere
from 10 days to 2 months.
There were several Jackson
county boys on the ship that |
was on, but belonged to differ
ent companies to the one do.
The boys were Andrew Lynn,
Hugh Berry. Sam Lock, John L.
Stafford and Robert Jone. |
think Adie Pate was on another
ship. but haven't got to see
him yet Don't know whether
he is in this camp or not. Some
of the boys think he it here.
We are close to an aviation camp
| think, because they are sailing
overour camp most all the time. |
The people that have seen
here are women, old men and
cripples, the rest are on the
front. The women here do not
wear the silks that our women
do in U. S. They show the
marks of war.
The roads over here are fine.
Wish had a car when see them
but could not get to use it if I
had one, The women here ride
bicycles as often as they do
horses in America.
have got some of this Eng
lish money. but can't tell how
much it will buy. all that have
learned about it is, can buy a
paper with an American nickle
and get an English penny back.
and the penny will buy another
paper.

all.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A. P. Leased Wlre1

NEW YORK, May 14.-Railroad stocks had their inning today, making spirited advances on the recommen- dation that a 25 per cent rate increase be granted.
 The movement substantially bene- fitted the entire transportation divi- sion, minor shares recorded even greater gains than seasoned or divi- dend paying issues.
 New Haven made an extreme rise of "A and Erie first preferred 3% , while the shares of many low grade traversing less populous sections of the west and southwest gained 1 to points.
 Among representative rails Union Pacific and Southern Pacific mounted points each, Northern Pacific and Great Northern 1h to 2h, New York Central 3A, Reading and Baltimore and Ohio to 2k, and secondary coalers, both anthracite and bitumin- ous 1 to 3 points. Inevitable realiz- ing for profits caused irregular re- versals later.
 Industrials and equipments were eclipsed most of the session by the inquiry for rails, but noteworthy fea- lures were not lacking in those groups.
 United States Steel offered stout resistance to liquidation for profits, fluctuating between 111as and 109as, ending at 10sA, a net loss of 7s and furnishing its usual liberal quota. Sales amounted to 1,225,000 shares.
 Speculative railroad bonds were strong, but internationals and liberty issues were irregular, the four quar- ters declining to the new low of $S752, but rallying briskly to $9S.2O on cash sales at the end. Total bond sales, par value, aggregated $10,2o0,- 900. Old United States issues were unchanged on call.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, May 14.-Corn underwent sharp breaks in value today owing largely to official announcement that there was plenty of seed on hand to supply all requirements this season. Prices closed unsettled, 1%c net lower to M@Ac advance with May $1.27B and July $1.43% to $1.43H. Oats fin ished unchanged to down and provis- ions off 37 to $1.
 Despite numerous rallies due to cov- ering by shorts, the weakness of corn prices increased as the end of the ses- sion approached and theclose was at virtually the lowest level of the day. In this connection, bearish sentiment ap- peared to be influenced to a consider able extent by an understanding that the department of agriculture expected to assist farmers in obtaining seed corn for re-planting if first planting failed, and that even then surplus would remain.
 Oats eased down with corn. Crop conditions were excellent and there | were no bids from exporters Provisions dropped to the extreme | limit allowed for one gay as a result of government notice to packers that prices to retailers must not exceed the prices charged on May i. Close: Corn: May, s1.27%; July, s1.43x. ] Oats: May. 74zc; July, CSC.
