Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1919-11-17

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Corn prices took
an upward swing today after showing
considerable weakness at the start.
Initial declines We're Tue to excellent
weather for the movement Of corn.
On the downturn, gossip became cur
rent that country offerings had been
sharply curtailed. Then shorts cover
ed quickly and a sharp sag was not
ed. Opening prices, which ranged
from the same as Saturdays finish to
/ cent lower. with December at Sl2s&
to S1.27N. and May at 3l.22& to
sl.23a. were followed by a sag all
around.
Car scarcity complaint hindered ef-
forts TO check the advance and SO. too,
did fear that a coal shortage would re-
strict the movement OF corn. The
market closed nervous. IL to ~ cents
net higher, with December at Sl.3oh
to $I.S0S, and May at sl.24b to SI.25.
Oats.
Oats were ruled by the action Of
corn. After opening unchanged to u
cent lower. with May at TAN to 749s
cents. the market scored o moderate
advance.
Provisions,
Higher quotations on hogs gave
firnness to provisions.
Weakness developed later in pork
and lard. Big receipts Of hogs were
predicted.

statesmen and learned diplomats of
the allied nations gathered around
the "horse shoe" table at historic
Versailles. Upon these men devolves
the momentous task of setting the
stage in order for the last act of the
stupendous drama that has gripped
the attention of mankind for more
than four years-the signing of the
treaty of peace which shall sound
the death knell to Kultur and Kais-

In the hands of these men is plac-

Dear Mother and Father:

of the home boys were away, il is a
great feeling to know that the war
is over and the time Of our return is
not so far away as il has been. |
went down to see Charlie Smathers
today, Charley Garrett and myself.
He said we were the first home boys
he had seen. OF course he has no;
been over as long as we have. We
took him some Of the home papers
that you all sent us and he sure was
glad to get them, for they were the
first he had seen since coming over.
All the home boys are well. At
tended services this morning. How
are all the kids? Love to all.
As ever your son,

chicken pot pie, Mashed potatoes,
cooked onions, butter, good coffee
with cream and sugar, doughnuts
and bread. That day we had q
Christmas tree in the town hall, and
the Y. NJ G. A. gave every man q
package Of cigarettes, plug Of
chewing tobacco, cigar, box Of
cakes, some chocolate candy and
some Of the boys got their Christmas
boxes, but not many of them. But
you can readily see that the Sammies
were not entirely left out by Santa
Claus.
We left Arzbach yesterday and
came back to Ehrenbreitstein, city
across the river from Coblenz.
Well, 7 don't know what we are go
ing to do now, or when we will come
home, but l don't believe it will be

Well, to go back to tell you little
ancient history, we left the good old
U. S. A. Goods Country on July
5, 1918, and got on the ship Known
princessen Cecilie, the ship that was
named for the crown princes wife,
and had been interncd in the United
States before the war and after
wards had been converted into a
transport and renamed the Mt.
Vernon. About 1900 soldiers sailed
with US on the 9th day of July and
we landed at Brest, France July Is.
We liked out to field about A miles
from Brest and pitched pup-tents
and stayed there about week. We
liked back to Brest and got on
train and rode across France to
Nanteal- Sossy, a town on the Marae
river about 25 or 80 miles from
Paris, and there we heard the first
guns and had our first air raid. All
we have done since coming over
here is work on the roads and rail-
roads and do guard duty; we also
have worked on the Ammunition
dumps. We have been in Chateau
Thierry and close to Rheims and
Scissors. At no time since l have
been here have / been out of hearing
of the big guns and on some occas-
ions have been way up past the
heavy artillery.
We have had a lot of experience
and the Boche has tried a lot of
times to bounce bombs off of our
heads while we were asleep, but your
brother Ed has never slept so sound
but that he heard "Jerry" coming
and when the smoke cleared away,
Ed was there or somewhere else
around. But we were all pretty
near tired out when the Armistice
was signed ON November 18th. We
were all glad of it. Well, could write
