HANP WILLIAMS
 TOLD BIC STORY
Related in Way That Brought It Home to Hearers the Story of Food rvation-Arkansas Is
 Far in Lead in Work.

The meeting held Thursday night in Star hall by Hamp Williams, Federal Food Administrator for Arkansas, un- der the auspices of W. l. Green, county food administrator. was for Mir. Williams and for many of those in in the audience reunion and home coming. Mir. Williams was one of the pioneers of Polk county, and there were many in the audience whom he had not seen since he left the county 40 years ago.
 J. H. Hamilton presided at the meeting, and after the audience joined in singing America with Miss Gussie Mcdonald at the piano, he briefly in troduced the speaker to his old-time friends and neighbors.
 Mir. Williams, after few remines- cent remarks, at once took up the dis cussion of the organization and the work of the Food Administration, be- ginning with the preliminary organi- zation, even before the act creating the department was law. Passing from the preliminary organization, Mir. Williams took up more specifical- ly the work being done in Arkansas, giving his hearers a clear understand ing of the aims and objects sought to be accomplished, and also giving them an insight into the tremendous task it has been to get people used to the new order of things. He gave in his unique and interesting way many il- lustrations of the experiences that have come to him since taking up the work last August, and in every in- stance it was noticeable that thru his tactful way he had succeeded with out trouble in getting folks in line with the orders of the administration The 50-50 order on four, he stated was one that had led to the most in- quiries, questions coming by tede- phone, by telegraph and by mail, until now when new rule is about to be promulgated which will restrict the purchase of four in each household to pounds per person per month. When that limit is reached, MT. Will Hams laconieally observed that it was immaterial to the food administration what people did about the substitutes. They could either buy them or let them alone, the settled fact being that they could buy no more flour
 In the course of the address it de- veloped that Arkansas was we'll in the front rank in the administration of the National Food Conservation or ders, and that other states were even profting by the experience and pro- gress made in this state. Then, too, Mir. Williams congratulated the peo- pie of Arkansas in responding so pa- triotically to all of the requirements of the administration, using particu- larly the readiness with which the re- sponse had been made in the return of surplus flour.

PRO-GERMANs DULY PUNISHED
Six Lodged in Jail After Five Had
 Kissed the Flag.

Hartford, Ark, March 28.-That pro-Germanism and German sympa- thies cannot exist in Hartford was demonstrated Wednesday night and Thursday when six men living in and near that city were lodged in the county jail here to await action by the government for prosecution on charges of violating the espionage act. Five of the prisoners were made to kiss the American flag at Hartford on Wednesday night when the citizens of that town made a determined effort to stamp out disloyalty. Two of the men were badly beaten Cooler heads probably saved them from being lynched.
 In a room occupied by one of the prisoners Hartford officers found a large quantity of poison, including bi- chloride of mercury, the same poison used on candy that was distributed a few days ago in sacks on Hartford streets where many school children passed.
 The prisoners are Carl Jarzak, long regarded as dangerous man, Otto Webber, John Sillin, George Skibbe, Hugh Gillen and Albert Damel. Damel was lodged in jail here Thursday noon.
