THINK BEFORE YOU CASH
 YOUR WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

The government is making a record of all persons who purchase War Savings Stamps and the reasons given if the stamps are cashed before their maturity. These lists finally will be filed with the county clerk in each county to establish permanent record of each individuals part in the work. Every citizen will be known not only by the extent of his investment but by the duration of his loan. This fact probably is not known by minimizing persons who cash their stamps before payment from the government is due. Uncle Sam spends the money as soon as It is received.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION IS POSITIVE NECESSITY
WITHOUT GOVERNMENT SUPER VISION NOW SPECUlATORS WOULD CORNER PRODUCTS AND FORGE PRICES HIGHER.

R. o. Shaeffer, we'll known news paper man of Little Rock, and head of the price interpreting committee of the food administration, delivered an address to the merchants of Lee county at the court house Wednes- day afternoon. The business men were summoned to the meeting by County Food Administrator Hewitt, who wanted to familiarize them with some of the more important regula- tions concerning prices, and also to impress upon them the necessity for continuation of their co-opera- ton with the food administrator. MT. Shaeffer discussed food condi- tions generally and pointed out what a calamity the world would suffer If all restrictions were removed and America was not able to meet the urgent demands from European countries for sufficient food to tide their starving population over the severe winter months. It was fur ther suggested that if the govern IUcUL T6lUOFcu iiStiOiio ot ShAe' time food spectators would quickly corner staple products and the peo- pie would within a very short time be paying double the prices now charged under government super vision. The local price interpreting boards will continue to fix prices on staple food commodities each week, and will name the per centage Of profit merchants may charge. When a merchant exceeds this per centage he is guilty of profiteering and in- vokes upon himself the penalty pro vided by law, which is that wholesal- CTS and jobbers in food products will be notified not to sell him any more goods. The rules against prof Niteering will be rigidly enforced, declared both MT. Shaeffer and Mir Hewitt. and both indulged in the hope that the merchants of Lee county would conform strictly to the prices fixed by the local board and avoid trouble.
