Piggott, Ark, Aug 18th, 1918.
Mr. NJ, ID. Long, Lancaster, Ky.
Dear Sir:-As stated in my tele-
gram of today will write you in de-
tail of the death and burial of your
son, FEATHER Long.
On Sunday, August 4th, Cotton
Belt special troop train Number 255
arrived at St. Francis, Arkansas, at
) :25 P. NJ, and stopped for troops to
take bath in the St Francis river.
When troops entrained to leave St.
Francis, Reather Long was missing
from his coach and they thinking he
had gotten in anothercoach went on
to Campbell, Mo, the next stop on
the the way they checked up and
found that he was not ON the train.
At Campbell two officers got off and
came back to st. Francis to look for
him but failed to find him and reach
ed the conclusion that he had drown
ed in the river.
They left word with the Postmaster
at St Francis, that if they found the
body to turn it over to the Local
Board at this place At about four
O'Clock Monday evening August 9th,
the citizens Of St Francis found his
body in the river and Immediately
called me over the phone and noti-
fed the Coroner and an inquest was
held over his body about siX-thirty
Monday evening. and the verdict Of
the Jury was that he came to his
death by accidental drowning.
| Immediately wired the Adjutant
General Of the state of Arkansas all
the particulars in the case and asked
him to wire instructions and he in
turn took the matter up with the
commanding officer at Camp Beau

SHARE OUR SUGAR
WITH The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use Of Sweetenino
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two
pounds a month per person is equita-
Bile when compared with the sugar "a
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England. France and Italy, ma
lions with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter of
sugar consumption-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
In the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as Il luxury, sugar
is now a war time essential. The fair
and Just division of this essential is
in the hands of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on e1sry menu-whether In
the households of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is a pound and n
half and in Italy it is one pound a
month And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two TO three times as
high as in America.
If you go to hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with 1t. II you want sugar you must
bring IT with you
In England it is allowable TO use
one-seventh Of an ounce of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
II they wish 10 have sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
625,OOO acres devoted to sugar produc-
tion. BY 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased TO 10000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy 1t, one must first
find It,
Italy Has Estate Sugar."
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. Its manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
ly controlled. and in part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine is permitted TO be sold
and used as a substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
state Sugar" which Is largely used
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany before the war, produced
a great surplus of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out of the export
business, but have plenty of cheap
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent In the
Allied nations, according To informa-
ton received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows:
England, 10 cents pound; France,
u cents Italy, &c cents
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American wholesale
price is being held at IN cents.

And many a hooking pose.

Wherever Freedom goes;
These lads we use to censure
For levity and ease.
On Freedoms high adventure,
Go shining overseas.
Our springing tears adore them.
These boys at school and play,
Fair-fortuned years before them.
Alas! but yesterday;
Divine with sudden splendor
Oh, how our eyes were blind;
In careless self-surrender
They battle for mankind.

Transfigured by the dreaming

And rushing on her foes.

their money well invested. The
cows are not only producing we'll,
but many of them have heifer
calves that are already worth half
the cost of the cow. The demand
for pure bred dairy cattle is stead
lily growing and we are told that
the man who has the pure bred
cattle, will, when the war ends, be
in a position to set his own prices.
Because of the greater number
of inquiries have been for Holstein
COWS, this lot will be of that breed.
However, a few farmers are inter-
ested in pure bred Guernsey cattle
and it is hoped that it will be pos
sible to bring into the county a
carload of this breed Of cows.
One or two of the prominent
banks of the county will finance
the project and the cattle will be
put out to the farmers at cost. If
