Bermuda Stock Farm Sells Fine
Pig.


The Bermuda Stock Farm, Of
this city, shipped to Mr.. A. E
Stephens at Eudora, this week, a
3 months old Duroc Jersey male,
which weighed 150 pounds. This
was perfectly marked pig and
while weighing quite heavy for
its age was not fat. The pro-
prietors of this farm, Messrs. K.
d. Wells and O. w. McOlintock,
are among the best stock raisers
of this section.

MORE SUGAR ORDERS

Little Rock. July Sugar for the
remainder OF the year has been denied
a great many manufacturers who fail
ed 70 comply with a government order
last month and file a report showing
tie amount of sugar they had on
herd Those reports had to be in by
June IT, Many manufacturers had a
supply of sugar to last them to July.
Now when they want sugar there is
no record on file in this city from
them. Of course they are bowling,
but instructions from Washinton on
that particular are emphatic.
Now il is announced, new reports
are demanded, and in order that no
buyer of sugar may be penalized,
Hamp- Williams. state food admins
traitor, has issued the following.
New report must be filed by all
buyers of sugar, whether you have a
supply for July or not. These re-
ports must be made out by everyone
who buys sugar, excepting only the
householder who purchases for pri-
waite consumption.
Federal, state, county and city
institutions using sugar are not per-
mitted to buy that product without
the sugar purchasing certificate. If
they have not already made the prop
er application, they are urged to do so
at once. They, too, must file the
official report. Sugar will positively
be denied for the remainder of the
year to all who do not make these re-
ports. If you are in doubt as to what
you should do, write me Immediately. !"

Across the dark blue sea-
now comes, daily, the saddening
news of the deaths of many of
our brave boys, in France, VIII
gave up their lives in defense Of
liberty. Americas part in tbs
momentous struggle has assum
ed great proportions, and now
this country has more than |,
100000 men, in arms, along tn
battlefront in France. And W.
are proud to know that wneneV-
.er they come in contact with th9
Germans our boys always come
out victorious. OF course, many
of them are wounded, some are
killed and a few are taken pris-
.oners; but this, while sad and
.SorroWful to their kindred and
friends at home, is no more than
is to be expected in war. 1t is a
matter Of pride to their home
folk to know that they are sol
diers, true and brave, and when
the bugle calls the charge they
are ever ready to go, and always
give a good account of their go
ng. BY their dash and daring
they have caused the Germans
to dread and fear them, and
wherever the American flags
float over the battle-lines the en-
envy takes notice an1 is slow to
advance upon them and quick
to give ground in retreat. All
honor to the brave boys of
America! Win this war they
will; but may they win it soon is

NEW WHEAT AND FLOUR RULES

NEW WHEAT AND FLOUR RULES
In order that the growing of wheat
by the farmers of Arkansas might be
stimulated, the following wheat and
iour rules have been made by the
Federal Food Administrator for Ark
ansas, Mr.. Hemp Williams:
Farmers in Arkansas who patri-
otically responded to the request of
their government 10 grow their own
wheat are now permitted TO have that
wheat ground into flour and take from
the mill supply sufficient to last
them twelve months, if they desire.
Furthermore, they are not bound by
the six pound per person rule. They
may take from the mill flour from
wheat they grew on the ratio of Il
pounds per month for them and their
dependents.
Farmers who grew their own wheat
are also permitted to keep sufficient
supply of seed to sow their own land
and to supply their neighbers with
seed. In the event they have a sur
plus of wheat for sale, for the present
they either keep or sell such surplus,
basing their action at all times on the
best interest of their government.
Tbs new wheat and flour ruling is
to remain in effect until new regu-
lations are issued by the United
States Food Administration. Special
attention is called, however, that
when farmer takes home twelve
months supply of flour at the rate of
twelve pounds per person per month,
he must not use that flour without re-
gard to substitutes. He is expected
to periodically use that flour $3.50
and continue to eat corn bread.
The modification of the former rul-
ing was made and the farmer releas-
ed from the six pounds per person
with the understanding that if given
years supply of -four from wheat
that he grew, he would continue in the
use of substitutes and corn bread. To
do otherwise would be both disloyal
to the government and violating its
rules and regula tons.
For any further information on this
subject, farmers are requested to get
in touch with and confer with their
County Food Administrator, who at
all times will be pleased to discuss
such questions with you"
HAMP WILLIAMS,
Federal Food Administrator for Ark.
This should furnish the information
that has been desired in connection
wish the use of the wheat that has
beei grown and should show that it is
the intention of the Food Administra-
ton to allow the farmer who grows
his own wheat to make use of that
whect to his own advantage. Every
farmer should plan now to sow wheat
enough during the fall to supply the
flour for next year.
