 Tittle Rock, July 13.-In recogni- ..u of the great record made by the
 .onl, of Arkansas in food conserya- s.or generally, and as reward for ..o;r wonderful sacrifice several ,,ortbs ago, when they returned their .urnlus flour to the government, the .iv norrd per capita rule for the sale # aom has been suspended and, be- ,irninq Monday, July 15, fioua may ba cold not to exceed 24 pounds in the a+v and 48 pounds in the country,
 0nly by the strict observance and .he nromise on the part of the pur- ebaser to abide by the 50-50 rule, ,gbicb means the purchasing and us- mo of an equal amount of substitutes odtb four. may flour be sold. When tbe customer proves to the merchant that he or she has a supply of substi- tutes at home equal to the amount of aour desired, no additional substi- tntos need be purchased.
 Hotels. restaurants, boarding Aouses all other public eating places and including log and sawmill camps,
 are no, to come under the new order.
 They must remain for the preesnt un-
 der previous restrictions announced
 by the United States Food Adminis- ration. 4 special rule in their in- tercst, however, it was stated, would be issued in the near future.
 Conservation Is Necessary.
 Relative to the new flour ruling, State Food Administrator Hamp Will iams isued the following statement:
 "0ffcials of the United State Food Administration have suspended for the time being the six pounds per person four rule for Arkansas as a reward for past patriotic and valu- able conservation on the part of it's people Strict observance of the 50-50 rule is absolutely necessary. We must continue in the conservation of flour, otherwise we will be put back on the former six pounds per capita basis. The attention of the people of Arkan- sas is called to the following:
 "A new wheat crop of great magni- tude is not yet certain. The present supply of flour in the United States is unusually small A great per cent of the new crop is to be stored in a national reserve The demand for four for the men in the American army and navy and for the allied countries is greater than ever before. By exporting wheat from the United States, foreign countries are able to release their wheat ships for trans port service. A national reserve is a most vital necessity, as the govern ment does not know what demands, in addition to those aforementioned, will be made on the United States in the near future, and increased demands, from present indications, appear to be almost certain"

DOVE MAY BE SETTING"
Anyway There Is Much Delay in Pre-
 pairing Road Estimates,

The road commissioners of the pro- posed macadamized road from Mena to the forest reserve beyond Eagleton, have so far been unable to hear from Civil Engineer Dove, who completed the survey of the road some two months ago, and promised to have estimates ready soon thereafter. It is supposed by some that he is "set- ting" and unable to make "hatch." !" Anyway the commissioners and public generally are getting impatient in the matter, being desirous of pushing the road to completion if at all feasible.
