The following has been addressed to the county food administrators:
 We have already noted an indica- tion on the part of merchants to take advantage of the new ruling permit ting them to sell flour 24 pounds in the city and AS pounds in the coun- try. Some of them have begun sell ing flour by the barrel. They are sfooling no one but thmselves, for we have reports on them and they are in danger of being denied flour for the remainder of the year.
 Will you instruct your merchants that they are to keep a record of all flour handled by them? They must have record of what they buy and what they sell This applies to the wholesale house as well as to the re- tail man.
 From time to time our inspectors will call on the merchants and ask to

PRICES IF WOOD
 UNDERGO CHANCE
Fifty Cents Advance On the Load Is Made By Committee and Country
 Sales Are Unrestricted.

After a conference of members of the Jackson county fuel committee, Chairman w. D. McLain announces a change in the prices to be charged for wood in Newport. A fifty cent advance has been granted in the price of wood sold within the city, and all restrictions have been removed from the sales price of wood brought to Newport from the country.
 The price named by the commit tee week ago was SIPS for one horse load of wood and $225 for a two-horse load. The prices have been changed to $1.75 annd $2.75.
 Everyone who possibly can should buy wood. Wood is plentiful, coal is not. Where family can burn wood to a good advantage instead of coal, steps should be taken to secure a winters supply of wood.

BRAND THE sLACKERs.

One day last week the editor of the Newport Independent discharged m employe who refused to buy War Savings Stamps. The Independent nays:
 The man who is able to do so but will not lend his financial aid to the conduct of the war does not deserve a lucrative position, and if all insti- tutions throughout the country would adopt the 100 per cent patriotic plan, there would be fewer slackers en- joying the fruits of honest industry.
 The man who is able to do so but will not lend his financial aid to the conduct of the war deserves nothing better than the profound contempt of all patriotic citizens. Public sen timent should be made so hot for this class of men that they will not be, able to lift their heads in respect able company. They ought to be branded so they may not be mistaken for men wherever they may go.-- Sharp County Record

JACKSON COUNTS
 GOOD SHOWING.

That Jackson county's physical manhood is above the average is shown by the daily report printed in Little Rock newspapers giving list of the number of men discharged from the army by reason of physical disabilities. Very few men sent to Camp Pike or other cantonments by the exemption board of Jackson county have been discharged from service. This wonderful record should appeal to the pride of every citizens, and also it reflects consider ablt credit upon the local board for the care which the members have ex- ercised in choosing the county's fighting men.
