to have it sent back home. My pass
came and no funds to take it on, SO
did mot go anywhere but stayed right
here in Antwerp. There was some
4th of July celebration here this year.
I was away from camp from the al
ternoon of the third to the afternoon
Of the fifth of July and, I celebrated
lin the good old fashioned way. There
was big Allied parade in the morn
ing and then speech by the Hon.
Brant Whitlock, u. S. counsel to Bel
gium, at the K. of C.Jtheatre, on Place
DeMair. The Belgiums turned out in
force and helped US celebrate in the
right way. In the evening ] went
to one of the biggest cafes in the
town in the White Lights and danced
all the evening until after three in
the morning and then had supper.
1t was regular celebration.

little work to do that it is a shame,
so l get it out and then have
all the rest of the time for myself.
There are lots of things that can do
in that time. Be sure and tell the
grandparents that I am all right and
not to worry about me. Also tell
them that I got a nice letter from
uncle Eugene Whitman and that l sat
right down and wrote a long letter
back to him. For some reason or
another about the only people that
want to write to is you folks. l am
glad that all, or rather as many of
the home fellows have returned home
as there have. l expect that l will
be about the last one of the boys that
came over, to come home. Well this
is all till the next time.
Love to all,

GOVERNMENT MAY
BUY 1919 WHEAT
ILLINOIS CONGRESSMAN PLAN
MING TO INTRODUCE BILL
PROVIDING FOR THIS.
WAITING FOR WILSON TO ACT
EMBARGO ON AEL FOOD STUFFS
=, TO REDUCE LIVING COST
/ WILL BE ASKED.

r." Washington, Aug. 4.-Unless the
President soon brings, about the pur-
chase by the government of the 1919
wheat crop at its guaranteed price,
and provides for its sale at a fixed
price of $3.50, and unless he puts an
embargo on foodstuffs now selling at
higher prices than prevailed a few
months ago, Representative Madden
of Illinois will introduce a bill prov
iding for such action.
"Of course the high cost of living
is worldwide at present." said Mr..
Madden in a statement on the sub
ject, largely because more than 3d.
100000 men have been kept out of
production for the last five years. 1t
was their business necessity, instead,
to consume and destroy, and in many
parts of the world food production
ceased entirely. While the United
State never was short, it was called
upon to supply food to the world.
ct might be possible under proper
regulation for the government to take
over the wheat crop on which it has
placed guarantee and sell the wheat
to the millers of the country at a
price not to exceed $3.50 bushel pro-
vided the millers shall make only a
prescribed profit on the wheat they
bought. In this way flour could be
sold to the consuming public at about
$500 a barrel less than it now brings.
Here's another remedy for, the
present high cost of living. Let Con-
gress make a law prohibiting inter-
state carriers from accepting ship
ments for export of foodstuffs whose
price-on the American market at the
time Of shipment is above the price
on the same stuff eight or 10 months
ago.
If this method of handling the
question were put into effect it woula
force the sale of perishable products
very much below present prices"

GAINESVILLE STORE ROBBED.

Burglars broke into the Latterell
hardware store early Tuesday morn
ing. They gained entrance by break
ing one of the window panes in the
rear of the building. They emptied
the till containing about 40 coppers
and got away with number OF
flashlights. Outside of that: Mr.. Lat
terrell has missed nothing. They
tried the safe which was unlocked and
in their hurry or because they knew
no better must of sprung the combi-
nation for it was found locked. 1t
contained nearly $50. From the
number of tracks in the rear of the
store more than one kid had his
finger in the pie. Enthusiastically the
work was done by amateurs, as yet
no clue has been found that might
lead to the arrest of the culprits.-

Tanlac was designed primarily for

therefore have far-reaching and
most beneficial effect upon the entire

Although Tanlac's claims for su-
