Space to Assist In Making Liber

Hon. Ira Mack, who has charge of
the publicity department of the Lib
erty Loan campaign in Jackson coun
ty, reports he has met with splendid
success in the work of securing the
assistance of Newport business men,
who have subscribed liberally to ad

The campaign will begin April 6,
and Chairman Hillhouse has practi

a whirlwind drive and a whirlwind

STATEMENT FROM THE FUEL
ADMINISTRATION.
Following the order of Dr. H. A.
Garfield, national fuel administrator,
dividing the country into zones for
the handling of coal, H. C. Couch,
state fuel administrator, recently
sent instructions to county chairmen
to encourage domestic and industrial
consumers of coal to purchase their
winter supply as early as possible
and store it to safeguard against a
possible order to commandeer the out
put of the mines for national pur
poses.
Knowing as I do the amount of
coal required for use in Newport as
well as Jackson county, and desiring
that there be no suffering during the
next winter by reason of a fuel short
age, I want to urge the citizens of
the county to lay in their winter’s
supply within the next sixty days.
We already know the trying times
of last winter in getting coal and this
notice must be taken as a warning.
Shortage of cars and unprecedented
amount of coal used, make it neces
sary to buy NOW.
R. J. HUGULEY,
Chairman Jackson County.
Newport, Ark., March 26, 1918.
F. A. Lewis, a traveling salesman
out 'of New York, visited our city
Sunday and Monday, stopping at the
Columbia hotel. Mr. Lewis returned
to the United States only a few
months ago from France, where was
with the American ambulance corps,
but was compelled to give up his
work on account of his eyes which
became injured. In speaking of the
great conflict, he said it would be
impossible for the people of this coun
try to even imagine the horrible bru
talities inflicted upon the French
and Belgians by the Germans. He
had seen little boys with arms cut off
below the elbows and the little girls
even more horribly mutilated. Men
would be hung by their feet until a
slow death relieved their suffering.

Chairman George A. Hillhouse, of
Third Liberty Loan Lrive for Jack
son County, called a meeting of all
committees throughout the county at
the court house Sunday afternoon.
The attendance was gratifying and
interest unusual. Every township in
the county was represented with the
exception of two. The big drive
starts Saturday, April the 6th, the
anniversary of the United States’ en
trance into the war. On that day a
big parade, while the stores are clos
ed, in fact every place of business
will take part in the celebration and
a victory parade of unusual magni
tude will be held. Uncle Sam will be
shown that his people are behind him
in this great war. Jackson county
has been allotted $300,000 as her
amount to be raised and Mr. Hillhouse
stated that it was hoped that sum
would be raised in the first three
days of the campaign, which will be
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
April e, 9 ana iu. tie aoes nou wain,
a long drawn out campaign, but
hopes the amount will be raised quick
ly. Each chairman of a township,
was sure he could raise his allot
ment in that ttime. The “war drives”
are coming thick and fast and it is
up to every patriotic citizen to stand
by them and do their part.
Mrs. Alf James and daughter,
Miss Hazel, and Mrs. 0- A. Jamison
were down from Tuckerman this
