Months of Sentence

Little Rock, June 26.-For-
mer State Senator S. c. Sims of
Prairie county was today grant

pardon by Governor Brough.
Senator Sims was convicted Of
receiving bride during the
last term of the legislature and
was sentenced to serve one
year in the state penitentjary
and was fined 81, 800. He ap-
pealed the case to the Supreme
Court, which affirmed the
judgment of the lower court in
November, 1917. In December
Sims was granted a stay of
sentence of so days. He began
serving his sentence in Febru-

provide for the regulation and
taxation of trading stamps. It
was alleged that the bride was
paid by one John McGraW, a

SUGAR FOR BAKERS

All sugar allotments for ba-
kers will be based upon a
three months period, compris=
ing July, August and Septem-
Der. It must be understood,
however, the food administra-
ton declares, that only one
third Of that supply may be
drawn in July. Bakers, in
computing the amount Of SUI
gar they are entitled to, may
do one Of two things.
First, They may take 70 per
cent Of the amount of sugar
they used in July, August and
September, 1917, as their al
lotment for the same CORES
ponding months this year.
Second They may take 70
per cent of the amount of su-
gar they used in June, 1918,
multiply that by three, for their
allotment during July, August
and September.
Retailers in purchasing SUI
gar must take into careful con-
sideration the amount of sugar
they would sell under three
pounds per person per month
during July, August and Sept
ember, and they must use as a
basis the amount they bought

CONCENTRATION.

The trend of the times is toward
concentration. Styles have been cut
down; little Injuries here and there
have been eliminated; products that
have called for prodigal expenditure
of materials more necessary in other
vital fields have been curtailed. The
government is seeking to strike out
those things deemed less essential to
successful waging of the war against
the enemy

American people have long been
criticised for their prodigal and
thoughtless buying They have specu-
lated rather than invested, accepted
rather than selected. In Europe be-
fore the war a common remark OF
merchants was, ''Save it for the Am
orleans; they will buy it" Careful.
thoughtful buying, such as we must do
if we are to win this war, calls for
the buying of known quantities. Those
products in every field that have gain
ed reputation for dependability in
service.
They are easily recognized Their
names are almost bpwords in our
household speech. Their names are
constantly before us in the newspa
pers.

tually advocated this course in its
policy of standardization 1t has con-

solve is patriotic and economical.

PRUDENCE.

When Gen. Joffre was in this coun-
try he said that forty per cent of the
casualties on the western front were
due to carelessness--men sticking
their heads over the parpet to see what
was going on in No Mans Land.
In our own daily life we are stick
ing our head over the parapet CON
stantly with painful consequences.
Our curiosity always gets the better of
prudence. Rather than concentrate
our buying powers on those products
that have demonstrated their dependa,
bility in service, we speculate with
unknown quantities.
In normal times we can 10 this with
less painful consequences But war
puts a different aspect on life. Prices
are higher, our money doesn't go so
far. We must get not only the most
for our money, but the best. We must
think when we buy, select rather than
merely accept.
Let US resolve henceforth to buy
only those products that nave proved
equal to our expectancy, whether they
be shoes, garments, edibles or auto
mobile tires, Being commodities Of
reputation, backed by industries of
established worth, they must give =
certainty of service not assured in
others. These widely advertised
brands are the creations of manufac-
turers whose powerful resources en-
able them to keep them not only up
to a standard but to improve them
without increased cost to consumer.
Industries are built around genius;
corporations rise from the children of
American inventiveness, hence their
products have fundamentals that are
unimpeachable, that are irrecOncilable
with anything other than quality.
To be less careless in our pUrchas-
es; to demand only those brands that
have proven themselves is to- be
thoughtful, saving and patriotic
