BOOST T. M. 0. I. , Earl Conner, Former Geneva Newspaper Man, Writes Good Letter FROM CAMP SHELBY Well Satisfied—Asks Everybody to Aid Y. M. C. A. Its Great. Camp Shelby, Oct. 28, 1917 J. H. Heller. Decatur, Ind. Dear John: — When 1 left Decatur I promised 1 would write you a line, and although 1 am slow in getting to it, 1 will perhaps some day have written all my friends back home, but I assure you the task is no small one as 1 have found out. To relate in detail my first twentythree davs of soldier life would require the space of a small volume but 1 will in as brief a manner as possible relate a few incidents of interest to you.

If one admits fall brings beautiful leaves and landscape pictures in Adams county, he must confess it is doubly true of the hills in the southern part of the state and in Kentucky. Our trip to Camp Taylor was full cf interest and our banner. "Berlin or Bust,” stayed with us through the entire trip. We arrived at about 8 r. m. at the camp and were immediately given jour supper and assigned to >ur companies. I landed in Co. 67 of the 17th Battalion. Lieut. R. M. Blackburn met me m the evening and we talked together some. But that was the last I saw him until a- couple days before we were transferred south. We had good officers at Camp Taylor and I was beginning to like my infantry drill. Our work was hard but interesting. One week ago last Thursday we received orders that nearly the entire 159th Depot Brigade would be transferred to Camp Shelby. At first I disliked the idea but as I had never traveled a great deal I knew the trip would be a wonderful experience for me so. as much as possible, 1 forgot the folks that 1 was leaving nearly a thousand miles hthind and tried ~o enjoy the trip on south. We left Thursday and after traveling for thirty hours we arrived at Camp Shelby. We arrived here also at night. To say the least, my first impression of this place was somewhat expressed in the words of inother of our bunch who declared upon arriving, that if he owned Camp Shelby and Hell, he would rent the camp and move to Hell, but the' longer I stay here, John, the better I like t, until now, 1 have grown into it much that after only eight days ’t seems in a measure "like home." although I now know for good that there is possibly “No place like home You will think it strange when I tell you I nearly froze the first evening I was here. It was the coldest night they have had here and we slept without straw ticks and all of the new men were very cold. The weather here is peculiar in that the nights are very cool and the days very warm. Mississippi is not much of a state, however, to my notion as there are nothing here but pine trees and hills of ground that will raise nothing but dust. Our back yard is worth 500 acres of land around here, except for the timber. 1 was here five days before 1 saw a bird and after leaving Kentucky saw hogs only twice on the entire trip So you see there is not nni'h doing in the farming line. I saw my first cotton on this trip but there Is hardly any corn raised down here. The last 80 miles we traveled on the Mississippi Central and it is "some road.” We made the trip in four hours and a half. Horses and cows run loose on the right-of-way as there are no fences and they roam about i with no danger as almost any cow > could out run auy passenger train on j that. road.

1 am now in the Y. M. ('. A. and 1 'am hr're to tell you that the work f this organization is unrivaled in importance in the way of making things' comfortable for the boys in khaki. For their benefit 1 wish you would do all you can in the "Democrat" to influence those who are able to help .the Y. M. C. A. appeals as they go out lasking for assistance to operate and, inaintain these and other Y. M. C. A. over this and foreign countries. I I was (ortunate. in being transferred from the infantry to the Signal Corps j down here. I like tile work due and believe 1 will prove myself in this line, at least I hope so. * ) 1 like to hear front ; my at quaiut-

THE MOST EVER I Bun Ulman Says He Now Weighs Mori' Than Ever Did Before. LIKES CAMP LIFE Can Walk Up to Orange Tree and Eat All He Wants.

The following letter from Bernie • Ulman has been receivefl by his sister, Miss Lena Ulman: Camp Shelby, Oct. -’4 Dear Sister: — Received your letter yesterday and • I thought that I would try and answer I it. This leaves me well as usual on'y II have a bad cold. A fellow can't get anything to cure it down here. They ' only have three kinds of medicine rt 1 the hospital and that is salts, caster 1 oil and iodine. I was down to Gulf Port last Sat , ' urday and Sunday and believe me we I had some time. I think it is pretty. , nice when a fellow can walk up to n I J orange tree and eat all the oranges, like I used to eat apples when 1 was at home. We were there over night 'and me and another fellow rented a room at a hotel. We went to bed out could not sleep, the bed was too soft so we took the covers and piled out on the floor, then we went to sleep and did not get up till about ten o’clock the next morning. One of the officers told us the other day that if the war lasted sixteen more weeks we would be in France i and if it ended in that time we would be at home. It does not make nni h | difference to me how it goes for if I < think the way I do now when I get mt I am going to join the navy. 1 like this camp life better every day. We have wood floors and sire wails, a stove and electric lights in < ur tent and it seems to me very much home-' like. ' We have eight fellows in our tent. It is 16 by 16. I think as much of most of them as I do of my brother. Co. A and B are united as one. It is called Battery A and when they joined I was separated from the fellows ( that were in my tent ever since I left Decatur and I hated to leave them . - much as t haletj to leave home This is some land down here. The only thing that grows on it is cotton and pine trees. That is all a fellow can see. I wish you would send me a bed blanket. It gets awfully cold down there at night. Send something god. for 1 will he looking for it in about a week. I weigh 159 pounds, the most I ever weighed in my life. Well, I will close hoping to hear from you soon. Well so long. BUN.
