From Camp Jackson in
 South Carolina.

Camp Jackson, s. C., 3-15-18 Dear Mir. Folsom:
 If you will permit me, I'd like to talk to some of my friends in old Monroe thro' the ARGUS. I'm now a member of the 3O6th Engineers and we are stationed here, working hard but enjoying life. Our Company A. has Capt. c. D. Robinson for a Cap tain and a royal fine fellow is he.
 If the boys back in Monroe, some of whom seem to have horror of joining the army, could step in on us they'd see things different. We have everything that young men could wish for, good officers, clean quarters, good food and every kind of clean, helpful amusement and l like it fine. We have fine thea tre where the regular Sl.O0 shows are to be seen for 25 cts. and the boys who are lucky enough to have friends at home to send them .'Smileage Books, " see them for nothing. Every thing is perfectly sanitary so much so that not even a cigar cite butt or cigar stump is allow ed to be thrown around the bar racks.
 The physical drill gives fel- low a knowledge of the bear walk" the "wheel-barrow trot" and if fellow speaks to the Col. while at these drills he will let the whole battalion mark time for 15 minutes IS a punishment.
 The fellows who have never been taught obedience to super iors certainly have rough slid ding as they have to learn the lessons in military life, but it means much to them.
 The boys in camp have time
The Brinkley argus., 1918-03-22

too, to attend Y. M. c. A. and to actually read their Bibles which is in marked contrast to the free and easy life at home where we didn't think of anything of the kind.
 We are getting ready to go to France and when we go. we will give the old human monster, the kaiser, the surprise of his life or else we will know that we have done our best.
 If there are any of my pals back in Monroe who'd like to join us fout here, my Captain tells me he'll try to get them in our Company if they'll but let me know. Who'll be first? Come on boys.

 INTERMEDIATE TOPIC-Helping the needy.
 SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-(0
 This parable marks the high level of the year of popularity in the life of our Lord. It is such an important mir acle as to be the only one recorded by all four gospel writers. The returning disciples (v. 31) are urged by the Mas ter to come with him into desert place and rest and also that he might comfort their hearts over the death of John the Baptist. "They had no leisure" Jesus knew the need and also the proper use of leisure, but the multitude would not grant him this put Hooked to his retreat in the desert. They followed that they might listen to his gracious words, or behold some new wonder, but Jesus also saw and min istered (v. 24). Carlyle said he saw in England forty million people most ly fools." Not so with Jesus; he saw and was moved, not with sarcasm, but with a compassion that took the form of teaching (v. 34). It is better to teach a man how to help himself than to help the man without the teaching. We also infer that the soul of man is of more value than his body. It IS not enough, however, to say God bless you: be warmed and fed" when man is hungry. Sympathy must issue in ac- tion.
 A Great Task.
 John tells us of the conversation with Phillip. Phillip lived in Bethsada nearby, but to feed this multitude was too great task, even with his knowl- edge and resources (John 6:5, D. Yet we need not be surprised at Phillips slowness of faith. Moses in a similar case was once nonplussed as to how to feed the thousands in the wilderness (see Numbers II :21-33). The central fact concerns neither the need nor our poverty, but the absolute surrender O. our all-however little-to Cod.
 Another disciple, Andrew, w'to had brought his brother, Simon Pc1er, to the Savior, in his desperation found boy whose mother had thoughtfully provided him with a lunch consisting of five barley biscuits and tU ) small dried herrings (John 6:9). This is great commentary on the tide of inter- est at this time-that even this hungry boy should have forgotten his lunch; the circumstances emphasized the help lessness of the disciples in order that Jesus might show his power. His com mand "Give ye them" (v. 37) teaches us that we are to give what we have not to look to others, nor to do ouf charity by proxy Pro. II PA, 25). Again the Savior asks his disciples to seek (v. 38) as though he would teach them the boundless resources of h.s kingdom. Give what you have and he will bless and increase it to meet the needs of the multitude. The secret of success points to the moment when he took the loaves and looking up (to God who also saw their needs), he blessed it.
The Brinkley argus., 1918-03-22
Living Bread.

This conservation process was stinging rebulze to the orientals, and is being emphasized in these days of food needs. Too long we have been prodigal of Gods marvellous bounties. God gives us that we may use; and we lose 1t un- less it is shared. Jesus, the living bread, (John 6:4S) will satisfy hunger and give life. AS bread generates in the human body heat, energy. vitality and power, so he will feed the hungry souls of men. We have at hand the Word. It is for lack of it that men die in the deepest and truest sense of that Word. The poverty and perplexity of the disciples in the presence of similar great need, is being repeated over and over again, and yet how faithless 1t is. We have not enough to feed the multi tude. Our few loaves of comfort, amusement, counsel, etc, will not sus- tain them in the present worlds crisis; but when we break unto them the liy- ing bread, 1t meets the deep hunger of the human heart; and they will have cuOuSu duu tO SphIc II they VIII OIlly eat 1t. In these days when the empha- sis is being laid on material bread for the sustenance of the nation, there is great danger lest we forget the neces- sity of breaking the living bread to the starving multitudes of the world. We must maintain the supremacy of the spiritual, or lack the dynamic to pro- vide the material
 How true the words of the late Dr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock:
 Back of the loaf is the snowy flour;
 Back of the flour the mill
 And back of the mill is the wheat,
 And the showers. and the sun,
 And the Fathers will.
 The problem which the disciples could not meet, Jesus discerned and solved. As they co-operated with him and gave of that which he had first blessed, each had a basketball to take away and thus was well repaid for sharing with the multitude.

MARKET TO PICK UP

New York, Feb. 14.-when Union
Pacific directors announced today that
their stock would In the future be a
regular 10 per cent issue instead of
per cent with per cent extra, 1t
revived a market that was dropping
rather seriously. The opening was
heavy with business light 1t was
about midday when the Union Pacific
announcement was made. From then
on to the close the market was strong
and In some spots aggressively so.
Union Pacific itself advanced 4 points
and held practically all of the gain.
New York Central. Reading, Northern
Pacific, Chesapeake and Ohio and
Great Northern advanced q point and
more each. There were some reac-
lions before the close. but much of
the gain was held. Atlantic Gulf and
West Indies moved to a new high price
for the week and American Sumatra
established new high record. Bald
win. Ohio Cities Gas. Corn Products
and Pittsburg Coal were other strong
features.
Most important of the days devel-
opments was the recovery of the rail-
way list for it proved that there Is
a recuperative power in the market.
1t is also important to know that
professionals who. as a rule prefer to
attack the market are now trying
to work specialties to high levels.
This is particularly apparent in Bald
win,- Corn Products and Crucible 1t
is also fact that public speculative
interest is almost nothing. The mar
ket is in very, strong technical con-
dition ready to respond to any favor
able developments,
That favorable developments will
not be missing may be guessed from
the cheering reports giveH out by
steel men. The steel trade is certain
to revive because the only trouble
with 1t is the weather.
Payment of the Onion Pacific regu-
lar dividend is only a hint OF what
may come in other directions. Practi-
cally all of the railroads, could in
crease present dividends under the
guarantees to be received by tina gov
eminent for as the government is COM
tracing TO maintain the roads in their
present condition the companies will
not use their own money until the war
ends. The big comforting fact is that
no railroad will have to reduce divi-
deuds.
Shipping shares continue in good
demand in spite of the punishment the
Street has received from time to time
in them. The reason for this persis-
tenco Is the nlRh price OF tohHdGe As
