substantial reward has been rendered
the people of Arkansas for their pat

letter to Hamp Williams. state food ad-
ministrator. following the report sub
mitted to Mr.. Hoover on flour returned
to the government by the state several
months go. This totaled 40, 900 bar
rels. which is more than has been re-
turned by all the other states in the
Union combined. In his letter Mr..
Hoover says:
The final report of the shipment of
flour from the state of Arkansas has
just come to my attention. The 40, 600
barrels of flour you have supplied to
the allies far exceeds your original out
side estimate, and furnishes a very
striking proof of the intense patriotism
of your people. | realize that the
handling of this matter has involved
very great labor, both on your office
and for all of your county food admin
i%nstrators. 1t would be a pleasure were
it possible to extend my personal con-
