GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, jar. 2S.-Corn prices hard
ened today to unfavorable weather for
the crop movement. Demand however
was only Of scattered sort. Open
ing figures which averaged a shade
higher with March not quoted and
May at $1.25A were followed by a
slight setback and then a fresh up
turn.
Shrinkage OF industrial and shipping
demand here as a result Of railroad
congestion led subsequently to set
backs in prices. The close was steady
at the same as Saturdays finish with
March $1.26k and May $1.27A @3s.
All deliveries Of oats reached new
high price levels. Scantiness of offer
ings gage the impetus but on the bulge
selling broadened out. After opening
Nc to NC higher with May soc to S0h,
the market reacted a trifle and then
rose higher than before.
Higher quotations on hogs put lit
tie firmness into provisions.
The market throughout was dull

THEY climb aboard their loaded
truck at shutdown, fifteen miles
4 behind the lines. They rumble
through the winding streets, out on the
white road that leads to Germany!
The man at the wheel used to be a
broker in Philadelphia. Beside him sits
an accountant from Chicago. A news
paper man from the Pacific Coast is
the third. Now they all wear the uni
form of one of these organizations.
The road sweeps round village and
on a tree is nailed a sign: Attention.
L'Ennemi Vous Voitl The Enemy
Sees You'll"
They glance far up ahead and there,
suspended in the evening light, they see
a Hun balloon.
"Say, we can see him plain tonight"
murmurs the accountant from Chicago.
"And don't forget" replies the Phila-
delphia broker, that he a see us just
rs plain"
The packing cases creak and groan,
the truck plods Onslaught toward that
hanging menace.
They reach another village-where
heaps of stone stand under crumpled
walls.
Then up they go, through the strange
silence broken only when a great pro-
jectile inscribes its arc of sound far
overhead.
They reach a turn. They take it.
They face a heavy incline. For half
a mile it stretches and they know the
Germans have the range of every inch
oft. The mountain yer there is where
the big Boches' guns are fired. This
incline is their target.
The three men on the truck bring up
their gas masks to the alert, settle their
steel helmets closer on their heads.
AT first the canton holds its speed.
Then it slackens off. The driver grabs
his gear-shift, kicks out his clutch. The
engine heaves-andheaveS-and stallsl
"Quick! Spin It'll" calls the driver.
The California journalist has jumped.
He tugs at the big crank.
"Wh-r-r-r-r-r-r-rooml"
The shell breaks fifty yards behind.
Another digs a hole beside the road
Just on ahead.
And then the engine ONE to life.
1t crunches, groans and answers.
Slowly, with maddening lack of haste,
Il rumbles on.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1918-11-08
When the Engine Stalls on
Dead Mans Curve!

"Wh-r-r-ooml" That n was close
behind. The fragments of the shell are
rafting on the truck.
Now shells are falling, further back
along the road. And the driver feels
the summit as his wheels begin TO pick
up speed.
Straight down a village street In
which the buildings are only skeletons
of buildings. He wheels into the court
yard of a great shell-torn chateau
wei you made itagain l seel" says
a smiling face under a tin hat-a face
that used to look out Over a congrega-
ton in Rochester.
"Yepl" says the driver glancing at
his watch. And we came up Dead
Mans Curve in less than three minutes
including n STALL"
4 X 4 Il
Later that night two Americanboy
fresh from the trenches bordering that
shattered town, stumble up the stairs
of the chateau, into sandbaggedroom
where the Rochester minister has his
canteen.
Get any supplies tonight?" they ask.
"You betI did" is the answer, What
will you have2"
Whats those? Canned peaches7
Gimme some. Package of American
cigarettes -lets see-an' a cake of
c~hocolate-an' some of them cookiesl"
"Goshl" says the other youngster
whenh lis wants are filled. "Whatwould
we do without you2"
x K +
You hear that up and down the front,
a dozen times a night-"What would
we do without them?"
Men and women in these organiza-
tons are risking their lives tonight to
carry up supplies to the soldiers. Trucks
and camionetteS are creeping up as close
as any transportation is permitted.
From there these people are carrying
