WHY IT ls NECESSARY TO EAT
LEaA MhRAT BREAD.

France, Greet Britain, italy and
Belgium must nov import so per
cent Of their bYeaastufRs, instead OF
the 20 per cent which they import
cd before the war.
America must supply the greater
part Of this need. TO send them
the least that they can live on, we
must increase or export Of wheat
from $4,000, ~ bashels to 100000.
900 bushels.
We have already exported, the
whole OF the surplus Of the 1917
harvest. over and above the normal
demands 81 our own population.
Therefore. all exports Of wheat
from now forward arc limited en-.

American people ~ their coasHmp.

Editor Post Dispatch
In regard to the change of ad-
dress, in the future you may send
your paper to me here in Sunny
California, at above address as
that is where Uncle Samuel was
pleased to send our regiment.
1t was about the 10th, inst. that
we received orders to pack our
foot-lockers, barrack.bags and
knap-sacks and be prepared to
board train enroute to Palo-Alto
Calf. We never dreamed that
fortune was to deal out to us, all
at one time, so much good luck
asa joyful trip across the contin-
ent and to be set down in one of
the most beautiful spots known.
In pursuance to our orders we
left Camp Fl. Oglethorpe, Ca,
Feb. 18th 1918, travelling south
through the old plantation coun-
try, getting a glimpse of the
groves of Wild Magnolia, the
swamps where the weeping will
low abounds, crossing Lake Char
les, a fine body of water to be so
close to the Gulf, thence on and
into New Orleans. a Upon our ar
rival there, we were joyfully
entertained by the Red Cross
who served a delightful lunch,
while cur Regimental Band dis
played their skill at the art of
musical selections, and although
our. Band has won a good bit of
praise, to say nothing Of a prize
or two, there isno comparison
with the skill of those fine beau.
Itiful girls when it comes to
making sandwiches, cake and
coffee for the never ending appe-
tite of a healthy soldier. They
will not be forgotten soon.
On the morning of the third
day we awoke to find ourselves
travelling through the moss COW
cred forest of Louisiana, then into
Texas, stopping for a CONCERT at
Houston, Tex, after which we
changed our course in a north
westerly direction crossing the
plains into New Mexico, stopping
ia couple of times each day for
exercise at which our Band gave
concerts. Two days was all the
time allowed us to see the open
plains covered with cattle, horses
and jack rabbits, so we were
soon carried into mountainous
Northern Arizona, and let me say
here, do not fool yourselvesas to
what sandy wind.blown Arizona
produces. She had the most
beautiful lasses of any State thro'
which we passed this stretch of
trip.
At Needles we found ourselves
in California,th land of flowers,
fine homes and wonderful sun
sets. Fortune dealt us a trump
and selected for our camp a
beautiful spot thirty miles from
San Francisco, surrounded on
three sides by mountains, where
one day we could see snow on
them, when it is summertime
down here where we are located,
the next day clouds are passing
these mountains, making them
look bigger one minute than the
next one. Great shade trees and
dry level streets help make our
camp one Of attractiveness, and
after all is said and done, / am
glad lam a soldier III Uncle Sans
Army.
REGARDS to all,
IShn @. Baldwin.
