WILL BUILD NEW
 EXPRESS FF|CE
Increased Business Causes Changes To Be Made At the Missouri Pa
 cific Depot.

Agent Copeland of the Allied Ex- press Company announces that work will begin shortly on a new express office in Newport, this step having been made necessary by reason of a greatly increased amount of business that has developed here during re- cent months. The new office will be built on ground where the road mas ter's office now stands, and the build- is to be 40 x 60 feet. Work of con- struction will start shortly.
 The present express office quarters at the Missouri Pacific passenger station will be turned into baggage and mail rooms.
 It is reported, though unofficially, that arrangements are being made to abolish the Rock Island freight and passenger stations, and conduct all business for that road at the Mis- souri, Pacific passenger and freight depots. Rock Island trains would back up to the Missouri Pacific sta tion to receive passengers, mail, ex- press and freight.
 This step would add greatly to pub lie convenience, and at the same time enable the government to operate in Newport at a greatly reduced ex- pense.
 In this connection the Independent would suggest that the railroad com panies be urged to add considerable improvements to the Missouri-Paclflc station. The station should be en- larged, and another improvement that is greatly needed is better sewerage system in the station which would prove of great benefit from point of better sanitation.

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
 WILL OPEN SEPTEMBER 28


 The campaign for the Fourth Lib erty Loan will begin September 2S and close October 19. The result of the loan will be watched with keen interest in Europe, not only by our associates in the war against the Teutonic powers but by our enemies. It will be regarded by them as a measure of the American peoples support of the war.
 The Germans know full well the tremendous weight and significance of popular support of the war, of the people at home backing up the army in the field. As the, loan succeeds, our enemies will sorrow; as it falls short they will rejoice. Every dol lar subscribed will help and encour- age the American soldiers and hurt and depress the enemies of America
 The loan will be test of the loy- atty and willingness of the people ot the United Stated to make sacrifices compared with the willingness of our soldiers to do their part. There must be and will be no failure by the peo- pie to measure up to the courage anc devotion of our men in Europe. Many of them have given up their lives shall we at home withhold oul money? Shall we spare our dollars while they spare not their lives?

NEW RULING
Division of Some of the Rules Regu- lating the Distribution of Flour
 And Sugar.

Beginning with September 1st, 1918, the 5O-50 substitute rule as to flour and the limit of sale to "A and AS pound sacks has been repealed, the retailer is to sell Victory Mixed Flour, which consists of 80 per cent flour and 20 per cent substitutes; or if purchaser buys standard wheat flour, they must buy 20 per cent sub stitutes along with it.
 The retail dealer selling standard wheat flour is required to carry in stock either barley flour, corn meal, or corn flour, or other substitutes, and with every sale of wheat flour must sell a combination of some one or more of these in the proportion of one pound substitutes to each four pounds of wheat flour.
 The rule as to retail of sugar con- tinues; two pounds of sugar per person per month; town people may purchase two pounds at time and country people five pounds at time
 Retailers are relieved of taking flour and sugar purchase receipts, ex- cept for canning purposes, but must keep record of each sale. The mer- chants are expected to take care of their regular customers, and as far as possible to make fair and eqult- able distribution of the sugar allowed them by their certificates; and to the best of their ability, see that the food laws are not violated. They are requested to refuse to sell to any per sons attempting to buy more than their allowance, and to report such persons to the Food Administrator.
 It is suggested by the food admin istration that every consumer par- chase his sugar from one particu- lar merchant for one month, in order that records may not become con fused and for the convenience of both the merchant and the consumer.
