Ne. fc U5im WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, Wg. , Mi Norman H. Johnson, president of the Southern Wholesale Dry Goods Association, thinks that by next Jul; cotton 'will be 49 eents a pound. Hr. Johnson la a member of the price flxlng committee of the War Industries Board If the fanners of the south will simply hold their cotton until the market - is ready to pay what It is worth, declares Mr. Johnson, there is every' reason in the world why they should get the highest price ever paid for the fleecy staple. The reason is simple and easy to understand. Europe has been completely stripped of cotton by the war. Just as soon as the tex tile industries of Europe can readjust themselves for civilian manufacture, they will go into the market with enormous orders for cotton, and they will outbid everybody else in their de termination to get it But don't for get that "cotton is a fool," and refuses absolutely to be bound by convention, precedent or the logic of events.

J CoocurU Trlbnae, , Dw Sit: " , I have a b amber of trlexU la Con cord, both white and colored, whoa I promised to write, but becaoae I have not much tlBM to do so, i asa mat Ji publish the following through the cvl nana of yonr newspaper: To My Many Friends in Concord : I am amnewnere in I ranee, ana narr been for the past six mouths, 1 And the Ftem-h people to be very nice, and good friends of the American soldier. France la a beantifnl country, that is the parts I have seen; of course you all; know that we are not over here foe onr health and do not bare any time to travel. We are striving day and nlKht to free this part of the world from the menace that hangs over it and bring back peace and happiness to all over here, and to our own country, onr wir es, sweethearts, mothers, and all those back home whom we have left. I want to say to them that they ihhnI not wor ry about us for we are well and we will not come back until It's over over here. We came over to get the Kaiser and we will do It I am doing my utmost to represent Coueord as a good aoldier. The German prisoners are a low class bunch of fellows, and I believe I could whip a doaen of them myself. They act like they are great, but they have no reason to do so. We see a great many French sol diers, men from sixteen to sixty years, so those over forty-five years old in the States need not think they are too old to flRht. We do not need you though. All we want you to do is to continue to send ns plenty of pork and beans and flonr, so we can have plenty to eat, just as we do now. The Assistant Secretary of War. Mr. Rosenwald. was nt this camp a short time ago. lie spoke to about eit-'ht or ten thousand of us boys He askeil if anybody in the crowd had learned to speak French. One of the fellows In my company spoke up and said that lie did not see where it was necessary to learn French when we were KoiK to he in Germany so soon. I have received letters from hump, telling me how the boys, my friends, in Concord, are serving their country, and it makes me glad. I hope they will make good, brave soldiers, just as Concord men always do. We have Y. M. C. A. buildings in the camp, where entertainment is provid ed. They are a great help. We use the buildings of the i. M. i:. a. to write letters, smoke, and have nil kinds of enjoyment. I asked one of my friends whether or not he had mailed his Christm.-is package coupon as yet. and he replied that he had not; that he had written his mother that he would be home for Christmas dinner. He was Jokinc, of course, for we all know that it will not be that soon. It will not be so very long before we are home, for the Huns are weakening overy day. The Red Cross has done much for us over here. They have Riven out sweat ers, woolen helmets, wristlets, and to some of the boys mufflers. We are very thankful to them for nil these things. When the Red Cross gives us anything we know that it was the money given by the folks at home that made it pos sible, and it encourages us. and niiiM ns ronlizp how much the people at home are doing for us. Of course you are not on the field doing the fighting, but I know what you are doing, land can see that it is lust about as much as anyone uot ae tually fighting can do. Well we must all keep right on doing our best, and then the war will end sooner, arm we can all feel that', we helped our eoun trv and the Allies to win. We have seen dark times during this war, but some day, soon I hope, the sky will stay clear and peace will come to the world. Now that I have 'reached you with a world. I trust that jail my friends who read this will write to me. I shall be pleased to hear from you, and will endeavor to reply. ( Since rejy, CORP, ETJGEXE ARNOLD, Co. A. SKVtth Lab.

We had a world) of experience irom the last week of J September to the middle of October. I would not take a million for mine! but I would not give a dime for another like it Yon know we were v$ in Belgium all through the summer land no doubt yon saw the account connecting us with the ML Kemmel battle. 1 was not very near that battle fromY as we were nearer Ypres at that timfe. We got our front We were given the honor of going through what was at that time the famona uinaenDurg nine at twin- court We had a very shirt way to go to get to our objective, And we went very quickly, In fact it took us only about 3 1-2 hours to do'tbie Job. Before the task was - performed; we did not think we were asked tot do anything unusual, but after we gvt through an Allied officer attached to our brigade said ha did not believe Ut could be done. It waa no so hard (as It looked, tar we found the German's very -will. tag to surrender. Our brigade cap tured more boches In lessi than four hours than we bad men in fihe brigade. The Germans' had greatf, deep dug outs in the line that no al tell or bomb could hurt, ' and when our barrage started they went -dowA into these dugouts to escape the arttUery Are and our men followed so ciose'fly under th couplng barrage that theyV never got out again. Sometimes whert we, would call down into these deep d&gouts for them to ; come up, as many Vas fifty ild come no.

G, UOth,'lnt, 90th Dlrtskw, Mm W. Some here in France. . October 10, 191& Dear Mother and Father: I have Just been reading the Con cord paper, which was printed the 7th of August. I sure was glad to sea a pper from home, and And out the news. I saw a letter froa Bruce Borton which was somewhat of a surprise to me. I am going to write to him some day. I know of nothing that would be more pleasure than to meet some of my friends who are fighting for their country, and hope that I will see them soon. Mama, I think of yon all very often, and long for the time to come when we will all be home again, but under the circumstances, I would rather be here than at home, for if I was at home I could not meet my friends after the war. knowing that I did not do my part. Now suppose I waa at home, and the boys would all come back and ask me where I waa and what part I played when tbe Yanks broke through the Hindenburg line and marched on down into the valley, still driving the Huns back? What conld I say? I'ncle Sam Is taking good care of his Niys. We get plenty to eat and smoking tobacco once a week, so we have nothing to want for. This weath er Is disagreeable along now. We are having plenty of rain and mod, but the boehe is getting full benefit too. I shut my first boche a few days ago, ns he poked his head over the parapet being the first In my company, so I know you will be proud of me now. It reminded me of back on the farm looking for Brer Rabbit as the dogs chased him over the hills. Papa knows how much I used to enjoy that I am enjoying the best of health, and think all of us will be coming back home real soon Give my love and best regards to all. Your son, COUP. JOHN W. RUSSELL, Brady Burria. Somewhere in France. October 15,, 1918. Dear Mother : I will answer your letter which I just received. Was glad to hear from vim. I am well and having a nice time. We have had some battle. I have had the pleasure of helping break the Hin denburg line. We went right on through it and we still have them on the run. I have gone through safe and hupe God will be with me throughout tlie war. I don't think It will last very much longer. I have just seen Zeb Caloway and Bill and Lloyd Helms. They are all well. I have received three of, The Trib unes. Do not worry about me, I write as often as I can. Some times I get in a enmp where I can t get off mail for some time. WelL I guess I will close for this time. BRADY. (The author of this letter a few days Inter died of wounds received in action. Editor.)

This leaves me well and enjoying health the hest I can. I have not been sick aince I have been over here and hope I won't. - ... ' I have not been in the front ine trenches yet, but have been nearly to the front. We were under shell fire and believe me. I was doing some dodging. You ought to have been here last night when we got word that the war was ended. We all rejoiced and the band played and everybody was hap py. It sure made me feel good. I guess tbe people in the states are hap py by now. I would like to be there and see everybody. Maybe I will be home soon. At least I hope so.
