STAND BY THE PRESIDENT

There are siili some people in
This country that need to be re-
minded that this Is not only Presi-
dent Wilson's war, or the Demo
cratic war, but the American peo-
pies war. ------
There are still some who need
TO be reminded that there are times
when to play politics is criminal, and
this is one Of those times.
President Wilson is Commander
in-Chief of the armed forces of the
Republic, not because he is a Dem
ocrat, for a Republican might have
been in his place and have the
same problems to solve. He is the
commander because, having been
placed in the presidential chair, he
came under the provision of the
Constitution that places in the
hands of that official the leadership
Of the nation in times of war. He
IS asking your support not because
you are a Democrat, or a Republi-
can, or a member of any other
party, but because you are an
American, and your country is in
danger and in urgent need of your
services. lie is asking your loyalty
because he is doing his utmost to
win YOUR battles for you, and
safeguard YOUR interests.
The Administration does not
claim that it has made no mis-
takes. 1t makes no claim to super
human wisdom or knowledge. 1t
can, however, and does claim that
the immense tasks that the war has
imposed upon it have been dis
charged with a minimum of mis-
takes. II admits the limitations. of
human nature, but claims for itself
honesty of purpose and a sincere
desire to administer the affairs of
the nation to the lasting interest of
the whole people.
Your government needs YOUR
support, not your criticism. 1t must
have your support, or YOUR inter-
ests will suffer. If for no other than
self-interest, you can not afford to
obstruct with earping criticism. If
you are not prepared to remedy,
or offer a remedy for, the evils of
which you complain, accept affairs
as they are, come forward with a
loyal and wholehearted support, |
and conditions viii be much more
apt 10 change for the better.
Stand by your President, by your
country, and by your own homes. !

RULING ON SUGAR
FOR PRESERVING

The amount OF sugar that RAY be
purchased is just now interesting
the housewife inasmuch as the can
ming and preserving season is at
hand. Russell Brown, food admins
TRAITOR for Carter County, today gave
out 4 statement relative to the re-
cent order of the government COW
ering this situation. 1t appears that
in some parts OF the state people
have been abusing the privilege and
it becomes necessary TO place a linn
OF 25 pounds to each customer, but
il any person shall need an addi-
tional amount it can be procured by
making satisfactory showing 20 Mr..
Brown as TO how the the first pur-
chase was used.
Orders have been made that more
sugar shall be supplied the retailers
sufficient TO meet the present de
mand All not used in canning and
preserving mist be returned any
persons failing to comply with this
provision would find themselves i'll
the same position as would those
boarding sugar.
These application cards will be
placed with the retailers and those
desiring sugar for canning and pre-
serving will find them there, but the
retailer will not be permitted TO sell
any sugar to any person until this
application has been signed.
In this connection, Mr.. Brown
said this does rot interfere with the
general regulations Tor the sale of
sugar, but he did call attention to
miSapprehensicn on the part OF
some grocers and their patrons. The
amount of sugar to be sold gener-
ally, under present regulations, is
not to exceed so cents worth to any
person in a town or city and not to
exceed 81 worth to any person in
the country. He said some grocers
have been going on the theory that
this was 81 worth in a town and 50
worth in the country. This is not
permitted and if persisted in may
get some dealers into serious
trouble.
Mr.. Brown also said in regard to
sugar for canring and preserving.
that when the new crop is in and
there is more sugar, other arrange
ments may be made, as the govern
ment advocates the saving OF all
possible food, but. he insister. the
present order is only for immediate
necessities.
\ Mexican came here Yesterday
from Crusher and purchased a so
pound sack sof -four from a local
grocer. Mr.. Brown learned OF the
transaction and caught the Mexican
as he was getting on the tram and |
made him return the -four TO the
grocer. The Mexican was Sc mad /
then he would not buy any -four, I
saying he could get the II pounds |
he was entitled to at Crusher. The I
grocer explained that his brother |
from the country was helping him I
in the grocery and did not know /
there was limit on the amount OF |
flour he might sell tie will know /
in the future, and so will the grocer,
according to Mr.. Browns statement. |
