it has been decided now to ship
the balance from Camp Jackson

of one dollar per day for each
truck. Few of these have been

Camp waiting shipment overseas;
the ending of the war left a large
number of these trucks on the
governments hands, and they
are to be given to the various
counties for road work.

If eggs were bought by weight
