Going Home

CndpIeT our
Going Home
Now comes the march for home
and Gods country, and you may
rest assured that we were all glad
and in good spirits-all glad that
the war was over. | do hope that
we may never have another such
war in this country. Like General
Sherman said: "War is He'll" We
started on our march from North
Carolina, and when we crossed
over the state line into Virginia,
division band was stationed
on the state line and played that
old song: Garry Me Back to Old
Virginia., until the whole division
had passed over. We often met
some of Lees army and in the ev-
enings would have meetings and
talk the war over. | remember
one evening at one of these meet
ing the subject came up of how
the war ended, and the last speak
er made the remark: "You fellows
have all had your say; now, | will
say that if we had had your songs
of Hail Columbia, Star Spangl-
ed Banner" and RED, White and
Blue, and the confidence of God
Almighty, we would have licked
you fellows in three months. But
| thank the Almighty that the war
is over" Three cheers went up
for his remarks. Many of the
rebels we met were of the same
mind. At Richmond, Va, we
marched by General Lees house.
AS we passed he viewed us from
the porch. II did not take us long
to march UP to Washington as we
all were anxious to get home.
When we arrived at Washington
we camped on the old dueling
near ~Bladensburg, where
Hamilton and Burr fought that
duel when Hamilton was
We camped here a short
line.
The next move was to the Grand
Review. And it was really grand.
The army of the Potomac took
two days to pass the reviewing
stand. Then came Sherman's ar
ny, and then a loud voice yelled
)ut: "Here ome the fellows that
IAN go through He'll" The Po-
.omac army was a well dressed
OF, but Sherman's army had been
the march so long, and had not
'een able to draw any clothing
Ike the eastern army, so they look
d tattered and shoeless. But in
he parade they were cheered and s
dmired by all. All of Sherman's
Oldiers were proud of their recep- t
on. After the parade we went l
ack to camp and stayed a short '
We soon got orders to move '
md were put in trains for Louis
lille, Kentucky, where we were
old that we might be sent to
fexico to run out Macmillan, the '
'rench General. But the Next
ans got away with him, which
nded the Mexican trouble. A
lort time after that we got orders I
go to northern Ohio to be mus
red out, and you bet this was

I Ind, where | worked for some
time. This was one of my OLD
stamping grounds. | would OFTEN
leave for from three to five months,
and could always get work when
ever | came back.
One day the wanderlust got me
again and ] quit and went TO Dan
vile, Ill, about forty miles west
of Lafayette, Ind. | walked from
Lafayette and got near Danv1lle
a little before shutdown. l came
to a little creek,and as it was a
warm July day | went and took a
bath, which refreshed me very
much. / found a job and worked
there about four months. When |
got my next wandering spell, | de-
cided to go to my old home, st.
Louis. The second day after / got
there l met my old boss under
whom l learned my trade. | told
him | had just arrived the day be-
fore. He was making cigars at
his home and asked me to come
and go to work for him, which |
did. | worked for him about Z
months. | then left st. Louis. l
went up the river in a boat.
AS | got off the boat | met two
cigar-makers whom | knew but
whom / had not seen for five years.
They told me to go along with
them up to Keokuk, Iowa. They
said there was no job to be had
in Quincy. AS l had never been
in Quincy, / thought | had better
try, so | went up town and soon
found a job on a sc job. In the
evening | met more cigarmakers
and discovered one that had been
discharged from a 10c job. | told
this man to go and get the job
that | had found in the morning,
and l would apply for the job that
he was discharged from. | held
this job as long as / wanted to.
One evening / met n of my old
friends from Lafayette, Ind, who
ran the mail car from Lafayette,
Ind, to Quincy, Ill. About a week
later / met him again. | told him
later | met him again and he told
me that my old boss at Lafayette
wanted me to come to work for
him again. l told him that
l was not in a hurry to leave
| wanted to. He told me that
when l got ready to go that
should come and jump into the
mail car and he would furnish me
a bed and wake me up for break
fast at Lafayette. l got in the
mail car and got my bed and was
walked up at 6 a. m. at Lafayette.
| went down to the Gait house ]
where | used to board, and after I
breakfast l went up to the cigar {
factory and went to work at my I
old job. About ten a. m. my old t
boss came upstairs to examine ]
work. When he got about half t
through he spied me and said: ]
Hello, when did you get back?"
told him that l had arrived that +,
morning. He asked me what kind
cigars l was making and | told {
lim the same kind l had quit on q
when | left. In the evening he s
asked me where l vas boarding. I
told him and he wanted me to
change places as the Gait House
would not buy any more cigars g
rom him. l told him l could sell
hem all the cigars they needed. '
He said: alright, I'll give a com
mission of $500 a 1000. This c
amount nearly paid my board. /

good news. We were mustered
out at Cleveland, Ohio, and al
went to our homes to work at our
vocations as we had done before
the war commenced. This is my
wartime service as | saw it.
Back at My Trade
I stayed a short time in Cleve-
land and then | went to Cincinnati,
Ohio, where | worked at my trade
for a while. | had made up my
mind to see what | could, While
was young, and one day | got
the wanderlust, and left for Day
ton, Ohio. l got a job in a good
shop of about 40 men at work
making cigars. One day | got IN
conversation with a cigar-maker at
my side and we got to talking
about our young days and we dis
covered that we were playmates
in our boyhood days in St. Louis.

months, when | left for Fort
Wayne, Ind. l could not get work
there so | left for Huntington, Ind,
about 30 miles west of Fort
Wayne. | was about five minutes
late for the train so, rather than
wait until evening, / decided to
walk the 80 miles. About noon,
as | was walking along the rail
road and the Wabash canal, there
a party eating dinner on the
other side of the canal. They
shouted over to me to ask what
kind of medicine l was selling as
carried a black satchel. | yell
ed back to him to go to H,
as / knew that they would not
attempt to cross the canal, and
come after me. In the evening
arrived in Huntington, and the
lext morning looked up the cigar
hop. There were two men work
ng there, and the boss had gone
O Chicago to buy tobacco for his
actory. The foreman gave me a
OBJ until the boss came back.
| worked for this nan about four
months. The fifth day I worked
here l was in a saloon and four
f us made up a party to play a
anne of cards. One of the party

that | had Just gone to work that
morning on an accommodation job

that made no difference to him as
he had 5000 and l could call on
him to pay all bills as long as it

New York City and was oc-
cupying it. But they said l could

feed grains other than corn; for
rather large crops of beans, pea
nuts and sweet potatoes and for
a record production of hay. Crop
prospects are fairly good in the
western states but very unpromis-
ing in the eastern part of the corr
belt.
Acreage Reduction
"The area in crops this season
shows a reduction of around 7,000.-
600 acres, OF 2 per cent below the
acreage in crops at this time last
year"
Large shifts in the relative acre
ages of the various crops we're
noted by the board, the largest
being the 6.000,0 900 acre decrease
in cotton, the 1000, 000-acre de-
crease in corn and the 1000, 000-
acre increase in wheat.
Low corn prices in 1926, together
with ~unfavorable planting condi-
tions, were held responsible for a
uCCilAc VI HUI tndu y per C6nI
in acreage in the north central
states, which was partially offset
by increased corn planting in the
south. The corn crop was report
ed late in nearly every state while
in some of the most northern
states, due to late planting, only
a long growing season, it was said,
would avoid danger of frost dam
age.
Winter wheat made a strong re-
covery for the low condition of a
month ago, and the present indi-
Gated production, 579,416,O 900 bush
els, is AZ, 900, 900 bushels more than
forecast then. The principal in
creases were in Kansas and Ne
braska.
Above Average
The indicated production of
wheat, 274, 21S, 900 bushels
was recorded as about 20, 0 900
bushels more than last years crop
and 1000. 900 bushels more than
the average for the last five years.
This years indicated total wheat
crop was placed at S53, 634, 900 BUSH
els, or about %, 900, 900 bushels
more than produced last year.
Stocks of wheat on farms on July
were relatively low, being 27,339,-
bushels, compared with the
ive-year average of 20, 1913, 900 bush
Els.
An II per cen increase in the
white potato acreage was noted,
With all late potato states showing

100, 900 bushels was indicated. That
S 81, 900, 900 bushels more than

Very short crops of most fruits
we're indicated, with apples appear
