From a Soldier Boy
Camp jackson, Columbia, S. q.
April IL, 1918.
Editor Democrat
Will you publish another letter
from me, and perhrps III not
trouble you again until its all over
lover there" No doubt there are
many who are wondering how
such and such a fellow is getting
alongin the army. Well if you
know one thing, and only one,
take the other for granted, that is,
if we are not in the hospital, no
one need worry. The hospital is
dreaded BY the average soldier.
Being sick there is much different
from being sick at home, where
loving hands minister willingly
and sweet smile comes from
those so dear. But we readily
understand that all get attention,
and the very best. Ofcourse every
moment in the army hospital is
military. Why shouldn't it be-?
Even the nurses are very military.
There are so many thing to men
ton will only touch a few. Some
one says there comes a bunch of
soldiers, they are tough fellows. :"
Must say all are not so hard
boiled" 1t is only the outward
man that may seem to be heartless,
but when the depths of the inward
man is touched there can be seen
in the moistened eyes that there is
a living soul within. The soldier
is given too little credit as to being
a man. The civilians in many
places mot all, however,, seem to
think because a fellow wears a
uniform be should give the side
walk, and by the way, his pocket
book, also; then on a crowded car
stand. | have seen ladies get on
crowded streetcars, but very sell
dom see a civilian offer his seat. Its
always the soldier who is polite,
The month of April will soon be
gone and many of US have not
been home, but there is no use to
worry, we are in the army now.
| thought in February that |
would go home in March, but am
still here and home given up. One
drawback with me is because I'm
one of the cooks in my company.
Could have gone long ago if | had
been doing anything else. | like
to cook and am hoping after its all
over lover there" that / shall have
the pleasure of cooking army beans
in Tennessee.
Am sure that the boys who are
preparing to leave think of the
camps as a dream, but boys its not
dream, its all real. / noticed in
the papers that more than 1000
Tennessee boys we're coming to
this camp. If you do, look me up.
/ see Charlie Younger, Arle Hay
mes and a number of others that |
know very often.
Suppose that / had better bring
this to a close. but before | do,
one favor | ask of those who are
back home in Tennessee, pray that
| return some day. Pm coming
home when its all over over

Raise Sweet Potatoes

Mr.. H. M. Cottrell; of the Blu
reau of Farm Development, Mem
phis, Tenn, says that three BUSH
els of sweet potatoes are equal in
food value to one bushel of corn.
Land that will produce twenty
bushels of corn an acre will yield
200 bushels of sweet potatoes. 1t
is insisted that sweet potatoes yield
from ten to fifteen times as much
as corn on the same lard and furn-
ish three to five times as much ac-
tual feed value. As a feed. es-
pecially for hogs, sweet potatoes
can be grown to very good profit.
