He has written a letter to the justices of the peace in each town ship who are asked to determine how many bushels of corn each farmer in his township will require for feeding purposes. By this method of cooper ation the farmers of Jackson county will be securing their corn at lower prices. It is planned to have the corn shipped in car lots, and the far mers will haul their amounts from the cars.

LlEUT. WALLACE
 ARRIVED TO-DAY
Stops With Homefolks And Friends While Enronte To Army Hos
 pital At Hot Springs.

Lieut.. Eugene Wallace arrived in Newport this morning from Hamp- ton, Roads, Va, where he spent a short time after reaching the United States from France, where he was with the American Expeditionary Forces. He is suffering from an in jured knee, which he sustained by a fall, and will go to Hot Springs to enter the army hopital, after spend ing few days here with his parents, Mir. and Mrs. John w. Wallace, and numerous friends, who are giving him genuine welcome.
 Lieutenant Wallace was in action five days and nights in Argonne Forrest, and while he modestly re- frains from telling of his exploits it is known that this Newport boy gave a good account of himself, put Eing away during those five days and night a goodly number of the enemy and contributing his share to the de- feat of autocracy. He was slightly wounded by gas during the fighting, but has never suffered seriously from the attack.
 After man has gone through with 1t, has seen his comrades fall, wounded and dead, and witnessed the sight which mangled and torn bodies present, he doesn't like to think about it." and further than that the Independent was unable to get an interview for publication from Lieut.. Wallace, though he has promised to tell us some more at later date.
 The best wishes of many friends go with him to Hot Springs, where it is hoped he will be speedily re- stored to good health.

FURTHER MODEL
 CATION MADE OF
 SUGAR RULING.

G. B. Irby has just received tele- gram from Washington, dated De- cember 31, 1918, which reads as fol- lows:
 General order number eight and nine for public eating places rescind- ed. License regulations eleven 5 four repealed. This removes four pounds per person per month sugar limitation both for public eating places and households"
 We are sending you this infornla- ton for your guidance. Hereafter retail dealers are. permitted to sell sugar to their trade without regard to limits upon individual consump- tion. This message simply repeals four pounds per capita per month. The regulations governing boarding are still enforced and you are in structed to notify your dealers that they are to use caution in their sales to see that no individuals are sold sufficient sugar to involve them in danger of violating the anti-hoard- ing law.
 Please see that this information is given the widest publicity in your county.
