formed. At any rate, the facts
do not warrant the report--Sec-

An Appreciation of Two
American Heroes.

There is buried in the soil OF
France somewhere, two young
men whose service and death Is
of more than passing interest to
this community. One, Private
j. L. Graham, the son Of Mr..
and Mrs. w. +. Graham, who
was a citizen of Gulfport, and
th9 other, Lieutenant Edward
: Hines, Jr., whose father has
large interests in and around
Gulfport. and who is regarded
as one of us.
Mr.. Grsham, % years of age,
enlisted April II, 1917, as a pri-
vate in Company 2, 28th Infan-
try, and sailed from Hoboken
June 10, 1917 for France, and
was killed in action in France
May %, 1918.
Mr.. Graham was Young man
who-had never enjoyed any of
the greater advantages of life,
than being the son of a good
father and mother, and had nev-
er had any of the advantages
save those given by the schools
of the county, but when the call
of his country came he enlisted
and went forth in its defense
and has given all that he bad to
that country-hIs life.
Mr.. Hines was young man,
but 21 years old, who volunteer
ed and who sailed from an At
lantic Port on June 4, 1917 for
France. He was a graduate of
the First Officers Training
School at Fort Sheridan, III. He
had just concluded his course at
Yale College, and every effort
was made by physicians to keep
him from going into the army
because of heart conditions.
However, be ignored the advice
of physicians and gave up all
the bright openings in this coun-
try and went forth to do his all
for his country. On June 4,
1913. he gave up his life in the
base hospital in France for his
country, of a disease contracted

been able to ship them. We have sent
them moro than 100000 bushels OF
wheat in excess of our expectation.
Our beef export, under ordinary ship

0O0, 900 pounds monthly. Last month
we shipped 87,000,0O0 pounds of beef
alone, while pork, which was ordi

Unexpectedly sugar shortage hss
developed by reason Of loss of sugar
factories in Europe, by the German
drive, by shortage in crops IN certain
sections, and by losses through sub
marine raids, and especially by the
necessity to largely abandon supplies
from long voyages to ourselves and
allies through the necessity to secure
more shipping for the army.
The government allows three pounds,
of sugar per month for each indfvidI

ment of sugar and restricting the sale
to two pounds at time to people in
towns or cities and five pounds to peo
pie living in the country caused many
people to wake up with start and
wonder why they can not get as much
sugar as they would like to have.
Instead Of buying ten pounds at al
