TOWNSHIP RECEIVES
 FORFEITURE NOTICES

i In the mail last night. the town
 site office received list of for
 feiture notices, which the General
 Land Office in Fairbanks has mailed
 to Nenana townsite lot purchasers.
 The townsite management wishes
 to advise those who intend paving these installments, to do so at once and avoid complications and finan- i cial penalties. if at all possible to do so.
 Those who may yet be in doubt as to whether or not they desire to retain their purchased lot. and who are waiting to see just what the new assessment figures will be, are invited to call at the townsite office for information. between l and 5 p. m.
 It will be impossible to have the new notices out before November
 15, and it may be even later in November
 These new notices will give each individual an exact statement of ac-
 count as to his particular lot. and will enable him to estimate future payments very closely. This refers to the townsite assessments. not to the installments on the purchase price, which latter remain the same each year until full payment is ac- compliShed
 The preparatory work in the town site office Is far enough along so that those who desire information can be given figures that will be almost exact, and which may help them in deciding in regard to paving the installments.
 The townsite manager believes that an examination of the figures Will convince the great majority of property holders of the advisa- bllity of holding their property; and 1t is desired to give these figures to everyone interested as soon as possible
 Purchasers are urged to attend to this matter at once. |

NEW FOOD RULES
 60 INTO EFFECT

The Territorial Food Admins. trator advises that effective Nov. ember first, on account of better shipping facilities, three pounds of sugar per person per month will be allowed"
 Dealers and the Commission com misary will please sell accordingly. using the ration cards already issued this will merely necessitate cal culation by the dealer based on the number of persons covered by the ration card, at three pounds per month, which will be fifty per cent more than the allowance originally shown.
 In the mess houses and restaurants the measure for the table use will remain unchanged. as it has been found that the amount of sugar used for cooking purposes consider ably exceeds the original estimate for that purpose The Local Food Administrator sttaes that for average consumption of sugar, per individual, those who eat at the messes and restaurants probably will still have a bit the best of it
 Revised instructions will be mail ed direct to dealers and Commission officials at the earliest possible moment

SOM Il OLD RELICS.

w. Ii. @. Wimberly of Devider
showed us some old papers some
time ago that revived memories of
the pasta past known to us only
from history-and recalled names
familiar to many of the older read
ers of The Chronicle.
The papers referred to were the
property of Thomas Burkett, de-
ceased, who lived in the Cross
Roads community. One of the
papers was Mr.. Burkett's faded
and worn oath of allegiance to the
United States Government, dated
October 27, 1862, and signed by j.
Ell. Pail, second lieutenant and
provost marshal. His age, height,
color of eyes, color of hair, ETC.,
were given.
Mr.. Burkett's pass, which gave
him permission to pass the guards
and outposts of the command, was
signed by John [. Kinaker, colonel
commanding post.
The following tax receipt was
fonnd among this interesting COL
lection of papers,:
"Received of Thomas Burkett
two dollars and twenty five cents
in full of this State and county tax
for 1866.
ISAAC ANDERSON, r. c."
Another paper was an affidavit
signed by L. Crocker, Commits
sioner of Registration for Benton
County, showing that Thomas Bur-
kett was registered as voter in
Benton County under an act of
the General Assembly of Tennes-
see, passed February rs, 1867.
Some of these papers are yellow
with age and so worn that many of
the words are almost unintellible,
notably the name of the colonel
commanding the post and the date
of Mr.. Burkett's pass.

In these dark and perilous days
we hear much about the worlds
needs. 1t needs nothing so much
as God himself. God is light, and
in him there is no darkness.
So we see why all the great
troubles have come upon the world
because God has been so greatly
left out of the lives of such large
portion of the human race.
When we have God in our lives
We have light; but when he is kept
out of our lives, no matter how
strongly we mentally assent to the
fact that he exists, we walk in dark
ness and stumble and fall to shame
and trouble.
We have no objections to league
of nations to enforce peace, but we
will need none of these when all
nations recognize God Almighty
as~the King of Kings.

NOTES OF THE FARM
BY WILBUR G. WILSON

every time the cotton was cultivat-
ed 80 were the beans. While the
stand is two thick, it is the finest
field of cultivated soy beans in the
county.
L. G. Craney, Big Sandy, has
one of the best arranged farms in
the county. The fields are fenced
and SO arranged that they can be
logged off and fields open into a
lane which has water, and this lane
connects with 2 acre hog pasture.
Twenty acres of alfalfa looks fine.
With live stock, clover and rota-
tions, this farm is. being made more
productive.

GOOD SUGGESTIONS. .

Chattanooga, Tenn, August 81
A. s. Justice, Chairman, Benton
County:
Dear Sir-We offer the follow
ing suggestions for the purpose of
increasing the pledges for War
Savings Stamps in your county:
l. Take census of each civil dis.
trict that failed to go over on June
28.
2. Names of heads of families.
3. Names of other wage earners
in each family.
4. Names of employees living in
each family.
5. Call your committee together
for that district; assess each head of
family, each wage-earDer and each
employe living with family, the
amount the committee decides they
are able to pledge and buy within
the next six months, or until De-
cember 81.
6. Send out cards (like the at
tached J summoning each adult per-
son in that district to a meeting
(simular to the one held on June 28)
to be held at the most convenient
place in the district.
7. Have your speakers ready on
that day with pledge cards, and
don't let the crowd leave without
pledging the amount assigned to
them. Committee to deliver these
cards to county chairman, who will
make duplicate list, sending one
to this office and keep one for his
record. Cards are then to be de-
livered to the bank or selling agent
from whom the purchasers state
they will buy the stamps.
Preliminary preparations are
now being made for the Third Lib
erty Loan drive, and for this rea-
son we must have our quota of
War Savings Stamps complete for
Tennessee by September l.
Yours very truly,

TEE.
