AN ADDRESS ON SUGAR
BY FOOD ADMINISTRATOR

Everyone knows what patriotism
means. 1t means stand by your
country, and this is addressed only
to those who are willing to stand by
their country.
Those who are unwilling to stand
by their country are slackers, and ii
is your patriotic duty to report them
to your county food administrator
so that they can be punished anC
published as slackers.
The greatest shortage since the
war is in sugar. You may not know
how great this is, but your govern
ment knows, and the patriot is willing
to take the word Of his government
Mr.. Hoover knows how little sugar is
available for the allied countries ano
their armies, and how keen the short
age is; and he knows that to maintain
in our allies the will to win the war
will require the last ounce that we
can spare.
How much sugar are we willing
to spare to win the war?
And to stop the toll Of American
blood and treasure
Our allowance is two pounds per
person per month. We can live on
this and we must live on this. This
sugar regulation comes home to every
one and constitutes today more than
anything else the measure Of our 10y
atty and patriotism.
Don't leave this to guess. Ascer-
tain the facts. You are either patri-
otto or unpatriotic; you are either
keeping or breaking your pledge to
to the food administration. There is
no halfway ground.
There are communities in Tennes-
see that have not gotten their two
pounds because they could not get it
because other communities were
getting more than two pounds. Help
us to expose these slackers who are
willing to betray their country for
the sake of their appetites.
Such offenses as these in time
like this, are reflection not only
upon our democracy. but upon our
common honesty.
The accomplishments of the food
administration in Tennessee have
been most gratifying, but there are
some who have not obeyed the sugar
regulation. 1t is not too late for
them to reform and come over on the
side of the allies. 1t should be a
mark of dishonor to use more sugar
than the monthly ration. Patrlots
will observe the regulation implicitly;
others should forfeit the fellowship
Of decent people.
Faithfully yours,
Fl. A. MORGAN,
Federal Food Administrator for Ten
nessee,

THE WAR is NOT OVER-WE
MUST RAISE OUR QUOTA

The following telegram was re-
ceived by Mr.. ]. H. Flippin. chair
man Of the Fourth Liberty Loan
drive in Upton county:
Mr.. j H. Flippin,
Covington, Tenn
Say to the people of your county:
Will you raise your quota? Unless
you do, worldwide disgrace and
shame will come. No one can carry
your share Of the load. Your task
must be done or state and national
disgrace will surely come. Will your
people let insidious German propa-
ganda. peace proposals, which any
clar- thinking man knows must be
rejected, break down your efforts :?
No peace can come excepting from
victory of arms. and no armistice
until Germany is broken in spirit,
Inundated and acknowledges her
wrong dong, evacuates territory, re-
calls submarines, stacks arms and
Internationally surrenders. No peace
will come through parley with Ger
man monsters who have outraged
civilization, murdered our wounded
soldiers and innocent by-standers.
Influenza is no doubt another form
of German atrocity. Everyone must
be aroused to the necessity of over
coming all obstacles. If your work.
ers are i'll, your are authorized to
commander services of others. We
shall not fail You must fight ev-
cry hour of present week. An I'M
broken victory is demanded from ev-
ery single county in this district. A
message of reinsurance is requested,
COMPTON, Chairman,
Eighth Federal Reserve District.
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1918-10-17

warns the German people that unless
they destroy it the allied armies will
do so.
OnS Of the most important points
of his note is that in which he ac-
knowledges the present German gov
ernment's unqualified acceptance Of
his peace terms, and then goes on
to show that those terms provide
specifically for the substitution Of a
government wholly responsible to the
German people themselves for the
present one dominated by the German
mill lists.

CANDLE EGGS SEPARATELY

The state food administration an
nounces that regulations require that
eggs be candled from May Is to Jam
uary Is of each year.
1t has been discovered that a good
MANY licensees are using what is
known as the flashing method;" that
is. taking two or more eggs in each
hand and waving or flashing them
before the candle.
Effective at once, the administra-
ton states that it is expressly forbid
den for any licensee to candle eggs
in this manner. This work is impor-
tant enough to require that each egg
be candled separately; that is, candle
eggs one at time.

Important Notice!

Saturday, October 10, is the
last day Of the Liberty Loan
Drive. It will be a disgrace to
our county and disloyalty to
our flag and to our boys in
France for Upton county to
fail to go over the top. We
are not over the top by a good
deal. All banks in the county
are hereby called on to use
every effort to sell the Liber-
ty bonds on Saturday, and ev-
cry person who can and will
take one or more bonds is urg-
ed to go to any bank in the
county and fill out his sub
scription card.
Yours for the Fourth Liber-
ty Loan,
J. H. FLIPPIN,
County Chairman.

We are approaching the end of the

are showing strong symptoms. Some
other districts are waking up on the
last round, but alas. there are some
that seem to be sleeping soundly.
But we must go over the top. Upton
county must not send message of
failure to her sons in France. The
failure thus far to come up to our
duty is not that our people are lack
| ing in patriotism, but that they are
exceedingly busy and the epidemic of
influenza has kept so many of our
best workers off of the job
Recent events have abundantly
demonstrated the wisdom of the fair
committee in ealing off our county fair
for this fall. The Lauderdale county
fair has also been called off and the
Dyer county fair has been indefinite
ly postponed. The big rush in crop
gathering, the great amount of sick
ness and the strenuous Liberty bond
campaign would have made it i'm
POSSIBLE to hold successful fair.
When the war is over we can do it
and do it right.
When the war is over and we can
get the material for making streets
our city officials will find our people
ready for the front foot assessment
or any other plan which will give us
streets in keeping with the impor-
lance of our town and the amount of
traffic we have to accommodate.
Now that the employment card sys-
tenn has been adopted for Covington
and city ordinances passed with
view to carrying out the govern
ment's work or fight order, there
can be no excuse for loafers and va
grants. "Six days shalt thou labor" is
the decree, and those who do not
comply, if between the ages Of Is
and 46, should be reported to the local
exemption board, and those Of other
ages will be handled by Mayor Green,
The nolice force and the government
labor agent.

OBITUARY.

Friends and acquaintance were
very much shocked when they heard
of the sudden death of Miss Julia
Vikan, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. X.
K. Vikan. Altho she had not been
well for some time her illness was not
considered of a serious nature until
when, on Friday morning, she be-
came suddenly very sick, soon lost
consciousness and did not regain
consciousness. She died Friday eve
ming, the cause of death being dia-
betes.
Julia was at the time of death, 18
years, 7 months and a days of age
an active worker in the Bottineau
Lutheran Sunday School and a men,
Der of the Junior class of the local
high school. At home she will be re-
membered as a kind, loving and help
full daughter and sister, and in the
community a girl of sterling worth.
The funeral was held on New
Years Day. After a short service at
the Lutheran church, at which Rev.
Bake %officiated, the remains were
brought to the Vinje Lutheran church
where another service was held, Rev.
Lunde officiating.
Besides her parents she is surviv-
ed by three sisters, Anna, Clara and
Ruth and six brothers, Clarence, Al
bert, Oscar, Leonard, Reuben and
