Attention is called to the fact
that a uniform price for sugar
has been fixed by the U. S. Food
Admins tration. The maximum
price that sugar may be retailed
for is 9Ic per pound. Special
permission must be obtained
from the Food Administrator to
sell sugar at retail at a price
greater than this.
Arrangements have been made
whereby a retail groceryman
may sell to individuals for cam
ing purposes sugar to the a.
mount of 25 pounds. A certiti.
cate must be signed by such
purchaser stating that the sug.
ar is to be used only for canning

wise the rule limiting the town

The letter printed below was

member of the 18th U. S. Aero
Squadron, which is with the
British Royal Flying Corps for
training. Jess Ross enlisted at
Columbus, Ohio. His home is at
Mansfield, Mo. 1t is very pro-
bable that his squadron is in the
thick of the fight on the British
front now. The letter, which
was written March Is to- his
brother Charles Ross, follows:

BIG RED CROSS DAY
Successful Auction Held on
Saturday-Rev. w. R.
Mccormack Speaks

If the boys ''over there" had
seen the donations piled up in
the park Saturday for the bene-
fit of the Red Gross they would
realize we were for them to the
limit. 1t was q work everyone
shared. NO kaiserism wanted
in America" was the motto of
each.
Saturday was Red Cross day
in Mansfield and the city was
crowded with people from miles
around, the country and the ME
ghboring towns and cities being
well represented. Business was
suspended during the sale.
The receipts of the day from
the sale, dinner and member
ship were $2,O74.35.
Rev. W. r. Mccormack of
Springfield, pastor Of the, Grace
M E. church, was the speaker
of the day, delivering a patriotic
speech of unusual merit, which
made a decided appeal to his au-
dience who frequently interrupt
ed him with hearty and vigorous
applause. He is a man among
men and a student and orator of
much more than ordinary ability
His thoughts were expressed in
a way that went home to the
hearts of his hearers and tended
to inspire and uplift. Just to
show what his congregation
thinks of him it might be re-
marked that they recently pre-
sented him with a 1000 Liberty
bond.
The ladies' served dinner in
the ]. w. Sharp garage and fed
about 600 people. For a while
this was the most popular place
in town. All who could be SER
we'd got plenty of mighty good
eating. Youhg's Hotel closed
during the serving of the Red
Cross dinner.

tioneers, donating their services
Mr.. Crews also paid his own
expenses, an act dulyappreciated
A rug sold for cent and
brought $106.74, being sold over
and over again. The rug was
old and worn and had been used
by John Eldridge and wife to
put around some fruit which
they brought to the sale. They
went off and left the rug and so
it was put up and sold. After
Mr.. Eldridge had gone home he
telephoned to j. G. Turner and
asked him to look up the rug
saying it was the last thing
made by his daughter Louise be.
fore her death and that he would
not take $1OO for it. j. G. told
him his bid was too low; that it
had sold for $1O6.74, and so an
article not intended for sale

work of the Red Gross.
