NOTICE RETAIL DRUGGISTS
NO MORE VAPORUB DIRECT
BUY IT FROM YOUR JOBBER

promptly, and instead of distributing
our goods more quickly, they are really
slowing up the process.
We believe that we can serve you bet
ter now by reyerting to our former pol
icy of shipping exclusively through the
jobber, and, effective Immediately, no
more drop shipments viii be- made.
While we have put on a night shift
and have, thereby, about doubled our
production we are still unable to fill our
back orders, and wont be able to give
each iobber all the VapoRub he wants.
Hence, it will be necessary for the job
bers to continue distributing VapoRub in
small lots only. But we viii be able to
furnish each jobber at least twice the
quantity of VapoRub that he purchased
for the corresponding month last year, so
there should not De any dlfticulty in your
getting your pro rata share.
We feel that the public appreciates the
service that the retail and wholesale
drug trade have rendered the country in
this time OF stress We wish 10 express
to both branches of the trade our thanks
for the kind cooperation extended us in
our efforts to meet this emergency.

Effective Immediately. No
More Direct Shipments
Will Be Made Retailers.
All Shipments Now Go to
Jobbers for Redistribution.

When the influenza epidemic struck
the country and wiped out our warehouse
and jobbers' stocks almost overnight, we
were faced with the problem OF distrib.
uting-to the stricken districts--in the
quickest possible manner-our daily out
put of VapoRub We solved this by Of
fering to ship direct to the retailers in
these influenza districts, by parcel post
prepaid quantities Of not more than
three dozen VapoRub in any one ship
ment. and by shipping what was left
from our daily production to our jobbers
by express instead Of freight.
This was costly, but il solvc3 the prob
lem for the time being Now, however,
we find that these small shipments are
constantly increasing we have received
as many as 1906 in single mail, II is
becoming impossible for us to fill these

CHELSEA
Town Has Given Largely of Men for
Official Positions.

| The people of Chelsea will doubtless be
interested in the revised edition of Dem
ing's Vermont Officers and Gazetteer,
just published by the secretary of state,
under the editorial supervision Of John
NJ. Comstock. The revised work con-
tains the names of all the state and
county officers, United States officers for
! this state, town representatives, etc,
from the organization of the state to
the present time, together with the data
showing the year of the birth and death
! OF each, so far as can be obtained, pre-
pared with Mr.. Comstock's usual ac-
curacy. The work has been in progress
since 1918 and has involved great
amount of study and research. 1t is in
| teresting to note that ID. AFRO A. Buck
was elected representative to the general
assembly from Chelsea Ia times and was
elected speaker of the House six times (;
that Lyman G. Hinkley served six terms
| in the House, one term in the Senate and
was lieutenant governor one term; that
| William Hebard served four terms in the
House from Randolph and five terms
| from Chelsea, and was a member Of the
| first Senate, in 1886, while living in Ran
dolph. 1t also appears that Chelsea has
furnished in addition to the foregoing,
two lieutenant governors, VIZ: Burnham
Martin and Hale X. Darling; speaker of
the House, Stanley G. Wilson; two rep
resentatives to Congress, d. AFRO A. Buck
and William Hebard; one collector of
customs, Curtis S. Emery; one superior
judge, Stanley G. Wilson; six judges of
probate, six assistant judges of the coun-
| ty court, seven county senators, ten
states attorneys and seven high sheriffs,
not including the sheriff. elect. Judge
William Hebard was Judge of the SUI
preme court for three years, but lived in
Randolph during the time. The Oldest
surviving town representative is Alvah
w Whitney, who served from 1878 to
1880.

AS A MATTER OF NEWS.

There are a few people, some mighty good busness men too, who appear to be at a loss to understand why the printer must charge more for what he has to sell now than he used to. But to the printer, who toots the bills, there is no mystery attached to the matter at all. Paper, like everything else, has advanced in price, and added to that feature, the paper is mighty hard to get. Ink, materials and other supplies have al- 50 advanced just Ike everything else, and since it costs more for one to live these days, the employees of printing offices are justly receiving more pay for their services.
 No printer can walk into a store

NEW RULING
 |S ANNOUNCED

In recognition of the great record made by the people of Arkansas Tn food conservation generally, and as a reward for their wonderful sacri- flee several months ago, when they returned to their government their surplus of flour, the following spe- cial ruling for Arkansas, through the courtesy of the United States Food is hereby announced.
 1. Effective July 15, flour may be sold not to exceed 24 pounds in the city and 48 pounds in the country.
 2. Where a consumer has sub stitutes equal to the amount of flour purchased, said consumer will not be required to buy additional substl- tutcs. Merchants are required to get from the consumer statement on ones honor that consumer has sub stitutes and will faithfully use sub stitutes 50-50 with flour purchased
 3. If puchaser does not have sub stitutes, no flour shall be sold until an equal amount of substitutes are secured.
 4. The following are officially de- clared substitutes: Cornmeal, corn flour, corn starch, rice, rice flour and barley flour. In Arkansas it is pos sible for the consumer to get substl- tutes. All dealers are hereby order ed to get substitutes in order to make legal their sales of flour.
 5. This ruling shall not include hotels, restaurants, boarding houses, saw mill and logging camps, which places shall continue for the present under previous regulations prescribed by the United States Food Adminis- tration. New regulations for such

 The Independent does not expect to make any further raise in it's prices unless conditions change, and our prices, we find, are in line with those made by all other well ordered printing offices of the country, where a legitimate profit is expected from the amount of money and labor spent in the output of quality service.

establishments will be announced later by this office and transmitted to these interests by E. R. Wiles, chairman of the hotel and restaurant division Of the Food Administrator in Arkansas.
 6. Tn exceptional cases only, and where it can be proven it is true, that miller can furnish wheat flour and not the full 50 per cent substi- tutes, said miller may furnish the buyer not less than 30 per cent sub stitutes and flour up to, and not to exceed, 70 per cent of the buyers normal consumption.
 '. In cases where the retail mer- chant has his own substitutes to the amount of not less than 20 per cent of his normal consumtion, and will agree to keep in stock at all times that amount, the jobber may sell him 30 per cent of his normal con- sumption.
 8. The suspensione for the time being of the 6 pound per person rule must NOT BE TAKEN by the people to mean no further saving of flour is necessary Officials in Washington inform us that rigid conservation is vitally important.
 9. The government has suspend ed the pound per person rule as a reward for past patriotic conserva- tion. The present increase will only be permitted to continue by the strict observance of the 50-50 rule. As most vital war measure, and in grateful recognition of the govern ment's consideration in your behalf at this time, I most seriously urge the people of Arkansas to be faith ful in this trust and comply with the 5O-5O rule and eat substitutes with flour.
 10. Don't tarnish Arkansas past record-the most wonderfuul and self-sacrificing of any state in the Union.
