NOT NECESSARY TO
 SIGN UP FOR REEp

The state food administration b. authorized the announcements +ho. order, either from the office ;r .L. city or by county food administro+o. will be issued that will compel butoh CTS or other retailers of beef to Loas record of the amount sold to fa,,,! lies per week. Neither will nrivo+o consumers be compelled to keen ro cord of beef they buy.
 ! To force retailers of beaf householders to keep such a racord the state food administration decloro. would be impracticable, and # ;a doubted if an accurate account of s,,cl sales could be maintained. In q sta+o ment to the people of Arkansas con corning the consumption of beef Hamp Williams, state food admins trator, says:
 Private afmilies have been urgor4 ly requested by our government to buy no more than one and one-ouarto- pounds of clear beef. and not nor, than one and one-hals pounds, includ- ing the bone, per peIson in the family per week.
 "Any family that buys more than that allotment of beef during tho week is unpatriotic. Any butcher who knowingly and wiifuily sells more beef than family is entitled to is doing his country an injustice. The family eating more than their allot- ment of beef takes it from the mouths of American soldiers in France. They are taking it from the soldiers of the allied countries, who have been fight ing our battles for three long years. They are taking it from the people of those countries associated with us in this war, and those people have suf- fered as no others have been called upon in years to suffer. The question, then, for every pat riotic Arkansan to decide is this:
 Knowing these facts, whether you eat at home or in public eating place, do you want beef when your country needs it?
 am certain that Arkansas, in the beef conservation, as we'll as in other features that make for the winning of the war, will be found 100 per cent loyalty patriotic"
 Emphatic instructions were yester- day issued to all hotels, restaurants and public eating places not to adver- tise on their menus or through any other medium when beef may be served. Violation of this order will result in the United States food ad ministration promptly closing such places.

 There was an impressive scene at Roulers when the place was taken. A French major gathered the rescued civilians and German prisoners around battered piano in the square and, as the shells screamed overhead, he played the "Marsellaise."
 The civilians cheered themselves hoarse.
 Roulers was in good condition af- ter the German retirement. East Of the city the Ingelmunster road has been crossed.
 Definite information has been re- ceived that the Germans removed Spanish and American rations worth | 45,000 francs before abandoning Roulers. The liberated civilians there revealed the hiding places of some Germans. They also pointed out where enemy mines had been | planted Tonight's Creports indicate the French cavalry has managed to get through the German lines.

WINTER RULES ON OVER TIME
 AND HOLIDAY

Alpheus Winter, Federal examiner, has ruled upon the conditions which will govern overtime in industrial plants, where the Saturday half-holi- day is involved.
 'As set forth in the award proper, eight hours shall constitute a basic cess of the regular work day shall be considered overtime, and paid for at the rate of time and a half.
 By mutual agreement between the management and the workers the daily working schedule may be so heightened as to permit of a half holi- day on one day of each week; in such cases overtime shall only be allowed for the time actually worked each day in excess of the hours, including frac- tions thereof, mutually agreed upon as a regular days work.
 "For example, by mutual agree mont nine hours might constitute a days work for five days a week and three hours might constitute the days work for the sixth day, and if this schedule should actually be followed there would be no overtime. On the OlIeE hdHu, Wllu lue dDON6 SCneuulS, if ten hours should be worked for five days and five hours on the sixth day, there would be seven hours overtime. "Wherever it was established as a custom on or before Aug. 26, 1918, 1 that certain employees because of prac- tica1 necessity worked on Sunday but received one full days rest upon a |, fixed week day, such custom may con- tinue without the necessity of paying | double time for Sunday work"

They got to their feet and fought toe
to toe Sledge-hammer blows beat upon
bleeding and disfigured faces. No
thought of defense as yet was in the
mind Of either. The purpose of each
was to bruise, MAIN, make helpless the
other. But for the impotent little cries
of Sheba no sound broke the stiffness
save the crunch of their feet on the
hard snow. the thud of heavy fists on
flesh, and the throaty snarl of their
deep, irregular breathing.
Gid Holt from the window of the
cabin, watched the battle with shining
eyes. He exulted in every blow of
Gordon; he suffered with him when
the smashing rights and lefts of Mac
donald got home. He shouted jeers
advice, threats, encouragement. If he
had had ten thousand dollars wagered
on the outcome he could not have been
more excited.
saltwater Peter, drawn by the
cries of Sheba, came running from the
stable. AS he passed the window, Holt
| caught him by the arm.
"What are you aimin' to do. Pete?
Let 'em alone. Let 'em go to it. They
got to have it out. Stop 'em now and
they'll get at it with guns"
Sheba ran up, wringing her hands.
"Stop them, please. They're killing
each other"
Nothing of the kind, girl. You let
'em alone, Pete. The kids there every
minute, amt he? Gee, that's good
