BRAND THE SLACKERS.
One day last week the editor of
| -the Newport Independent discharged
£ An employe who refused to buy War
I Savings Stamps. The /Independent
1 I says:
“The man who is able to do so but
will not lend his financial aid to the
conduct of the war does not deserve
a lucrative position, and if all insti
tutions throughout the country would
adopt the 100 percent patriotic plan,
i there would be fewer slackers en
joying the fruits of honest industry.”
The man who is able to do so but
will not lend his financial aid to the
conduct of the war deserves nothing
better than the profound contempt
of till patriotic citizens. Public sen
timent should be made so hot for
this class of men that they will not
be able to lift their heads in respect
able company. They ought to be
■ "branded so they may not be mistaken
for men wherever they may go.—
Sharp County Record.
JACKSON COUNTY’S
GOOD SHOWING.1
Il^v _ I
That Jackson county’s physical j
manhood is above the average is
shown by the daily report printed in
Little Rock newspapers giving a list
of the number of men discharged
from the army by reason of physical
disabilties. Very few men sent to
Camp Pike or other cantonments by
the exemption board of Jackson
county have been discharged from
service. This wonderful record
should appeal to the pride of every
citizens, and also it reflects consider
ablt credit upon the local board for
the care which the members have ex
ercised in choosing the county’s
fighting men.

State Food Administrator Says He
Has Reports of Merchants Sell
ing Flour By the Barrel.
.v ■ v _
The following has been addressed
to the county food administrators:
We have already noted an indica
tion on the part of merchants to take
Advantage of the new ruling permit
ting them to sell flour 24 pounds in
the city and 48 pounds in the coun- j
! try. Some of them have begun sell
ing- floor by the barrel. They are
fooling no one but thmselves, for we
have reports on them and they are in
danger of being denied flour for the
remainder of the year.
Will you instruct your merchants
that they are to keep a record of all
flour handled by them? They must
have a record of what they buy and
what they sell. This applies to the
' wholesale house as well as to the re
I tail man.
I From time to time our inspectors
I will call on the merchants and ask to
see their statement regarding flour
purchased and sold. Every mer
chant should have that data on'hand.
It will be regarded as a violation of
the rules where a merchant cannot
produce a record of flour purchased
and sold. We do not intend that
they sell more than 24 pounds of
flour in the city or more than 48
pounds in the country, and, consider
ing the necessity for conservation,
they are mighty lucky the govern
ment agreed to let them sell flour in
that amount.
The record on flour must be kept
hy them. They must also enforce
the 50-50 rule. Substitutes must be
bought when the purchaser has no
substitutes at home. When the pur
chaser has no substitutes and re
fuses to buy any, no flour will be
permitted to be sold. Warn your
merchants that they cannot be too
careful regarding their flour busi
ness.
SUGAR FOR CANNING.
It will not be necessary for those
who desire sugar for canning and
preserving, after having used an al
lotment for this purpose, to come
to their County Food Administrator
for permission to get a second
amount. In many cases that is im
possible and certainly inconvenient.
The man who sells sugar ought to
have a good idea whether the pur
chaser needs a second allotment for
canning and preserving. Merchants
are hereby instructed to accept the
word of honor of purchaser in this
respect. Only a dishonest and dis
honorable person would injure their
government in this sugar crisis by
making a false statement of that na
ture.
Very truly yours,
HAMP WILLIAMS,
Federal Food Administrator for Ar
kansas.
The above rules will be strictly
enforced in this county.
Geo. B. Irby,
Food Admr. for Jackson County.
PRICES IF m
UNDERGO CHANGE
Fifty Cents Advance On the Load Is
Made By Committee and Country
Sales Are Unrestricted.
After a conference of members of
the Jackson county fuel committee,
Chairman W. D. McLain announces a
change in the prices to be charged
for wood in Newport. A fifty cent
advance has been granted in the price
of wood sold within the city, and all
restrictions have been removed from
the sales price of wood brought to
| Newport from the country.
1 The price named by the comrnit
' tee a week ago was $1.25 for a one
! horse load of wood and $2.25 for a
(two-horse load. The prices have
been changed to $1.75 annd $2.75.
Everyone who possibly can should
buy wood. Wood is plentiful, coal is
not. Where a family can burn wood
to a good advantage instead of coal,
steps should be taken to secure a
winter’s supply of wood.
