FROM OUR SOLDIER BOYS

LOCATED WHERE FIGHTING WAS HOT
IBy Corporal Elmer Eugene Hall, to his par
en.s. Mr.. ard Mrs. John r. Hall of Liberty.
Griseourt. France, March 30.I
Dear Folks: Just received the letter you
wrote March IL; came right along and
am glad to get ali Of them As today is Sun
day VIII write little of my trip over here.
The first time started We were on the boat
0ianshure. Were out two days and some time
IN the night we turned around and came back
all alone. The next day one Of the submarines
came up beside our boat, and that was the
hFst warfare saw, but there we've some coed
gunners and believe me. they fred eight shots
and II was all over. The next beat sailed
in was the IS. S. France. IL was a very
fine craft but they had French cooks and /
didn't like their grub, but got along with it.
We landed IN BTest, France. September } :
PUP texts and stayed there three days. From
there Ne went 10 Leznes, stayed there three
weeks. There | left the company, went ahead
OF them as billiting officer. | went to Dom
erera, found room for the men and also the
animals. ! was there two days before the
company came. They came in the morning
and we got our hunks fixed up and were all
saying here's where we all have good
nights sleep" About seven that evening or
ders came to move, and started for Diem
lard, but they were shellinR that town so We
stayed in the woods that night and moved
into Dieniard the next day. Here We were
sheiied about meal time each day. Here We
take three days TO get them. | went and got
them. We got fixed up as il was; the horses
were poor and crippled up. Left Dienard and
moved TO Mamie, the woods two miles from
there. We had dugouts to sleep in here, but
had TO fix shelter for animals. We hauled
supplies from here to the boys in the trenches.
All our hauling was done at night. Here is
where started my hospital, getting
so many horses crippled up. From Mamie we
moved to Bollinville and had very good quar-
tiers. From Boulinyille moved to DOnerwa.
That is where when the armistice
was signed. | lost $40 on that, for | bet they
wouldn't sign up, but sure glad they did.
figured il money well spent. We moved
TO TheaeOurt next and l assigned to the
third battalion that at Jeilany. From
there we moved TO GriscOurt. Have been here
some time, but going to next week,
but don't know where yet.
/ wouldn't take good deal for what
have seen and passed through. / am ready
now to come back home, but will have TO
wait till turn or time comes and think
that will be some time yet. / received my
Christmas box New Years morning. The neck
tie in the box is joke. for not allowed
20 wear them, so will keep it till l get home.
! sent you some pictures last week and hope
you get them. j take six four-line teams out
each day for weed. We haul six miles just
a nice trip each day. I have a fine horse to
ride. | certainly had some bad to ride.
One piled me on the ground several times, but
you know its all in the game. We located
about mile from the Argonne Woods, and
ride up there nearly every day to see the
sights and curiosity. Well good luck to all.

CANADIAN FEAR
OF S2.26 WHEAT
IS UNF0U]NlDED
United States viii Be Able to Dis
pose Of Entire Crop at That
Price, If Desired. OF Could Sell
at Big Profit, Says Quamme Of
Federal Land Bank.
{By United Press.)

ST. Paul, March 6.-rCanadian fears
for the United States 1926 wheat
price guarantee are unfounded accord
ing to q. @. Quamme. president of the
st. Paul Federal Land Bank today.
Mr.. Quamme said the United States,
government will be able to sell Its en-
tire wheat &c at s2.26 or more a.
busilel il it wishes. 1T a make a.
big profit if it wishes he said.
He pointed out that the United
States consumption of wheat leaves
little surplus IN normal times and that
this surplus will be- readily sold to,
European countries. He asserted that
all wheat producing countries will not
have enough surplus 10 meet the de-
nland of European countries.
Even if Europe is bic to buy Argen-
tine. Australian. New Zealand, Cana
dian and all other SURPRISES for s1.50 a
bushel. said Mr.. Quannine. Europe
will not ave enough wheat and she.
will have to appeal to the United
States for her surplus, She will have
to pay the price and She will be will
ing to pay double the guaranteed
price of 1926 q buseels to get It.
There is no possibility Of. the gov
eminent losing money in the wheat
crop. Men who are saying the gov
erhnlent stands to lose a billion dollars
on the guaranteed price do not know
what they are talking about. The
price if based on the law Of supply
and demand probably will be above
the guaranteed price. Al any rate
the wheat growers who sacrificed his
profits during the war while hundreds
of other producers were rolling in
wealth is entitled to all he can get
for his crop this year and if the gov
ernment keeps firth with the wheat
growers 1T must protect him this
year,, asx

Many Frenchmen and Americans are

the Americans are fraternizing with

that the Germans give the Americans

The only exception is in the case of
children. There is an inherent love
of little folk in the hearts of the
American soldiers, and all the regula-
tons in the world win not prevent
them from playing with the kids.
The general was asked If the Ger
mans are short of food in the Amer
lean sector.
They seem to have plenty of it,
he answered. Vegetables are COM
mon and cheap, the only shortage be
ing i'll fats and milk.
In one town where there was a
complaint from the Germans that they
had no livestock or fowl, we noticed
a lot of chickens. Someone asked a
German why they did not eat tie
chickens. He caught one and showed
a number on it's leg. Tie system

There is plenty of game in the

and family, in this city, learned with
infinite sorrow yesterday of the death

home in Alexandria, La, last Friday

of St. Paurs church here for the past
several years and no man was ever
more beloved in this city. His wife
shared this popular affection and all

news from Alexandria brings the
shadow to countless homes in Column

community goes out to them in their
sorrow.

AWARDED DISTINGUISHED
THE SERVICE CROSS

Mr.. and Mrs. j. W. Mullins, of this
county, have received notification
from the War Department, that their
son, Private Sam Mullins, who was
killed in France at Bellecourt, on the
29th day of September, 1918, has
been awarded the Distinguished Ser
vice Cross citation, in recognition of
gallantry in action. The award was
made by Gen. John J. Pershing, com
mander-in-chief of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces, and it was made
on May the Goth.
Private Sam Mullins enlisted early
in the war. He received his training
in this country and went overseas
with the 10th Infantry and he was
serving with this command when he
was killed in action. He was one of
Lowndes county's gallant sons who
gave his all for his country and the
award which has come to his memory
is gratifying to his parents and
friends at home.
