NOTICE.
Merchants Will Take Notice of the Following Letter From Hamp Will Hams, Food Administrator, With Regard to New Rulings on Flour.

We have already noted an indica- tlon on the part of merchants to take advantage of the new ruling permit ting them to sell flour 24 pounds in the city and AS pounds in the country. Some of them have begun selling flour by the barrel. They are fooling no one but themselves, for we have reports on them and they are in dan ger of being denied flour for the re- mainder of the year.
 Will you instruct your merchants that they are to keep record of all flour handled by them? They must have record of what they buy and what they sell. This applies to the wholesale house as we'll as to the re- tail man.
 From time to time our inspectors will call on the merchants and ask to see their statement regarding flour purchased and sold. Every merchant should have that data on hand. It will be regarded as violation of the rules where a merchant cannot pro- duce a record of flour purchased and sold. We do not intend that they shall sell more than "A pounds of flour in the city or more than AS pounds in the country, and, considering the ne- cessity for conservation, they are mighty lucky that government agreed to let them sell flour in that amount The record on flour must be kept by 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 refuses to buy any, no flour will be permitted to be sold. Warn your merchants that they cannot be too careful regarding their flour business.
 Sugar for Canning.
 It will not be necessary for those who desire sugar for canning and pre- serving, after having used an allot- ment for this purpose, to come to their County Food Administrator for permission to get a second amount. In many cases that is impossible and certainly inconvenient. The man who sells sugar ought to have good idea whether the purchaser needs a second allotment for canning and preserving. Merchants are hereby instructed to ac- cept the word of honor of purchaser in this respect. Only a dishonest and dishonorable person would injure their government in this sugar crisis by making false statement of that nature.
 Very truly yours,
 HAMP WILLIAMS,
 Federal Food Admr. for Arkansas.

Shelly Jordan Killed.

The sad news reached Ham,
 burg just before the noon hour yesterday that Mir. Shelly Jor- dan, of this city, had fallen on a saw in the Slave Factory at Montrose and was fatally hurt. The accident occurred just be- fore ten o'clock yesterday morn- ing and he died about half past twelve. One of his legs was sev. cred from his body above the knee, and the frightful tradegy was over so quick that those standing around were too dazed to fully realize just how it hap pened. He would have been
 thirty-six years old on the 9th day of September next. He has resided in Hamburg for the past ten or twelve years, and Is sur vlved by hls Wife and three chll- dren, his parents, Mir. and Mrs. w. k. Jordan, of Wilmar, two brothers and two sistesr. His
 parents started to Hamburg on
 being notified by wire, coming by way of Dermott on the rail
 road, and were on their way in an automobile last night, when
 it broke down just beyond Pine Prairie and they walked on to
 Hamburg, a distance of about ten miles, reaching here at half past three o'clock this morning. Shelley Jordan was young man of industrious habits and pleas.

AgronOmy Committee Recon mends For Drought Stricken
 Region.

The Agronomy Committee of the University of Arkansas Elk pertinent Station and Extension Division has made recommenda- tions as to the handling of the crops in the area that Is now drought stricken that are appli- cable to Dew county. These re- concentrations which give the meth d by which more feed can be produced are as follows:
 1st. All corn that has been badly injured by the drought should be cut and put into the silo or shocked in the field.
 3 The land which has been cleared should be planted in cowpeas, sorghum or other quick growing forage crop that will provide supply of hay.
 3. Fall oats should be sown in order that some grain may be had to supply feed for the work stock next summer.
 4th. An abundant supply of rye and other winter crops should be sown so as to provide pasture during the winter and thus lessen the amount of dry feed required.
 Since these recommendations embody all the things that it is safe for us here in Drew county now, 1t seems as if some immedi- ate action should be taken in trying to carry out this method of providing feed. The School District Committees have been asked to talk this in their con- munities and find out if seed will be needed to carry out this program. If such seed are need e.l and the matter is reported to the County Agent, some method will be devised to obtained the required amounts of seed.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt has some admirable qualities; but he
 occasionally gets as wild as a March hare. In his recent speech before the Republican
 State Convention at Saratoga
 Springs, New York, last week,
 he was guilty of much fambou-
 ant and verbose nonsense, per-
 haps just for the purpose of tick
 ling the crowd he was talking
 to. "The events of the last year" lMr. Roosevelt is credited with
 saying, have shown that a Re
 publican Congress is necessary
 to support the administration at
 every point where it acts vigor-
 ously in prosecuting the war,and
 to supply its deficiencies in the
 prosecution of the war and in the carrying out of the proper
 world policy" This declaration, analysed, amounts to naught: for 1 it is we'll known and establish ed fact that the present Demo-
 cratic Congress has nobly stood
 by the administration, through thick and thin," and that the proper world policy" is being carried out by President Wilson in a manner entirely satisfactory to the intelligent people of the United States and the whole
 world, and in a much more sys- tematic and intelligent manner than is the honorable, impetuous and visionary Roosevelt capable |of. Another excerpt from his
 speech is to the effect that the | United States should have 6,000,- GOO men in France by this time next year. Such talk as this may tickle the ears of the groundlings," but as matter of fact it is one of the jobs not as
 easily done as said. Soldiers, unfortunately, cannot lift them selvas over the ocean by their
 boot-straps, and transportation facilities for such an enormous force is unavailing. And, again, If 1t were possible to land such an enormous army in France in such a short time it would be impossible to provide food and
 equipment for 1t, and in this con- tingency il would be more in the
 way than otherwise, and instead
 of helping to crush Germany,
 would, in a measure, benefit 1t. Mir. Roosevelt had just as we'll stop talking through his hat" and possess his soul in peace, for the present administration, back up by a Democratic Congress, as 1t IS, will take care of this coun- try's interests as 1t should be and make the world safe to Dem. ocracy, in the end.

PLOTTING
AGAINST BELCIUM

Washington, March 30.-The kaiser
has been plotting to benevolently can
mex" the Flemish districts of Belgium,
in a manner similar to that employed
toward eastern territory, it was learned
here today
The annexation plans were eonting-
ent upon a success On the west front
and the kaiser had spread his propa-
ganda and laid all his lines for another
plundering.
Returning Relgians revealed today
that the kaiser Is comedy in camou-
flage" was to be- engineered thus:
Germany eombed Flemish Belgium to
gather renegade Flemings, German resi-
dents Of the Flemish districts and a
few pro-Germans into an organization
which has as its announced intention
the freeing of Flemish culture and
institut. ons from "Walloon influence. +"
When the kaiser gave the word this
element an insignificant minority was
to meet and solemnly call on Germany
to come to the rescue of the Flemings.
Germany would then announce to the
world that she would take over Elem.
ish-Belgium because the people of that
district had expressed their wishes
through process of "self detormina-
tlon.o f't(
If there were resistance from loyal
Belgians, it would be put down by q
new csppaign Of frightfulness-- exactly
this eoure Germany has pursued in
