FOUR MINUTE MEN
 WILL TELL TRUTH
Government Speakers At Theatres and Elsewhere Will Carry Truth
 of War Situation.

The truth, the whole truth and lp- thing but the truth is to be given to the public by government speakers, according to instructions contained in the News Bulletin of the Four Minute Men issued during the speak ing on the Third Liberty Loan. No oblique views with a view to creating certain impressions are to be toler- ated for this, according to the Bulle- tin, is contrary to the policy of the Committee on Public Information. The Four Minute Men Bulletin says:
 "The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth"-that is the kernel of the messages the Four Minute Men are asked to convey to the American people.
 The truth about the war, we be- lieve, is such that it need but to be spread clearly in order to convince the public that we must fight on. Those who do not so believe should net attempt to convince others,
 Yet we receive letters frequently from prominent speakers asking us to "play this up" and to "stop telling that" generally with an oblique view toward creating some desired tim pression." This is not in accord with the policy of the Committee on Public Information, which aims to give the public all the facts except, as authoritatively stated, news of tangible benefit to the enemy"
 Our cause were weak, indeed, if we needed to bolster it up in the ap- proved Prussian fashion by hiding of facts, statements of half truths, congregations and sophistries. Our cause is strong in so far as We can afford to be frank and open, and the speaker who is frank and open, ready to concede the contra-facts, willing to admit doubt wherever doubt right fully exists, and making no claims beyond authentic, authoritative knowledge, is powerful, because he stands on the rock of fairness. His honesty shines through his words.
 At no time should our audiences be led to feel that government speak CTS appear before them to impIant thoughts skillfully designed to cre- ate some desired impression" The public should realize rather that the

 The statement made a profound impression and was received with a storm of applause that proved that the newspaper boys endorsed what Mir Hoover said. Continuing on the same thought, he further stated this:
 q do not believe that extortionate profits are necessary to secure the maximum effort on the part of the American people in this war.
 of we are going to admit that the government, in order to secure the supreme effort of it's citizens in pro duction must bribe them with money to this extra exertion, we have ad- mitted a weakness of Ameriran chararter, of American ideals that puts us on a plane below German Kultur"

THE FARM LABOR SITUATION.

Already the farm labor situation has become acute. In two or three weeks it will grow more serious. Un- less help is available there will be a notable shortage of crops by reason of the fact that crops cannot be planted and much of those that are planted cannot be cultivated.
 In Newport and probably every other town and city in the United States there are loafers who are do- ing nothing. They should possess enough decency and patriotism at this time to go to work. If they do not possess these attributes, they should be made to work.

GORING THE GERMAN OK.

After the Germans had murdered women and children in France and England in their air. raids and had justified these murders as part of their policy of frightfulness, allied airmen dropped ton or so of bombs on Karlsruhe, capital of the Grand Duchy of Baden.
 Did the residents of Karlsruhe grit their teeth and say they could stand it for the Fatherland? Did they say to the German government, "Your foolish brutality has come back to us, and though we must die because of your stupidity, we shall die like brave men?" They did mo- thing of the kind. They called to- rether the Chamber of the Grand Duchy and passed resolution re- questing the Imperial German gov ernment to obtain general agree ment for the cessation of hostile air raids on places outside the zone of military operations.
 It makes lot of difference whose OK is gored.-Gazette.

SUGAR AVAILABLE

Food Administrator Issues Certifi- cates Which Must Be Signed By
 Purchaser of Sugar.

County Food Administrator E. L. L. Boyce has received the following communication:
 Enclosed you will find form cer- ticate to be used by all retail mer- chants in your county for the sale of sugar for Canning Purposes Only.
 Please see that Your Merchants Order a supply of these certificates Immediately. They will not be per mitted sugar for canning unless they have these certificates.
 l am instructed by the United States Food Administration officials at Washington to use every precaution to conserve our supply of sugar. When not purchased for canning pur- poses, sugar must not be sold in quantities of more than five pounds for city trade and ten pounds for country trade.
 The Person who buys sugar under the pretext of canning and makes false statement in this respect to get larger amount of sugar than other wise entitled to is traitor to the Government. If you find cases of this nature you should arrest such guilty parties on the charge of hoard ing. They will be subject to severe penalty.
 am depending on the loyalty and the patriotism of the people of the state, which has never yet been ques- toned and which has never failed, to comply faithfully with these sugar regulations. If the good housewife wants. sugar for canning, she is now entitled to it by filling out one of the enclosed certificates the merchants will have on hand. Promptness in merchants getting out these certifi- cates will be greatly appreciated.
