lead, assuming that the defense

Ii is not safe to make a more
favorable assumption than that.
Rather the Allies must anticipate
U-boat gains, and that can be done
only by speeding up production.
Semiofficial utterances show that
as matter of fact the production
10 the United States is now running
at a rate which will cancel the
shortage now being occasioned by
the U-boats. This will certainly be
the fact if the United States should
reach a production of even 100000

q UNITED WE STAND q
Y U V u y 90 y u 9 % Z.

The fact is becoming every
day more and more apparent
that Germany is finding a unit
ed foe too strong for all her
boasted efficiency. The allied
battle lines are standing firm,
and the Prussian objective Of
Paris or the Channel ports
seems as far from being at
tanned as at any time since the
German hordes were turned
back at the Marine.
But when Prussian arms fail.
Prusslan strategy gets on the
job. And Prussian strategy is
on the job these days-as large
as life. The object of that stra-
tegy is to effect disaffection
and division in the ranks of its
enemies. Well the Hohenzol-
Terms know that with the Al
lies thoroughly united in aims
and methods, the Prussian am
bition is doomed.
German propaganda numb
led Russia-not German arms.
German intrigue was the one
cause of the disastrous Aus
trian drive into Italy. German
propaganda will now-is now
aimed at driving a wedge
between the allied nations. No
opportunity will be neglected,
it matters not how small it may
be, of sowing dissensions be-
tween the nations leagued
against her.
So, If you even think that We
have a grievance against any
of our allies, lock that thought
up carefully in your heart and
never let it see the light of day
till this gigantic conflict is
fought to a finish.
And when that result shall
have been achieved, you will
doubtless find that you can
thank Prussian strategy for
having ever entertained
doubt of those who are dying
by the side of our sons.

TO TIGHTEN UP ON
FOOD REGULATIONS
Sale of Sugar Now Limited to
Three Pounds Per Month
For Each Family

The war slogan of the Unit
ed States Food Administration,
Food Will Win the War was
most emphatically brought
home to the people of the eoun-
try in new orders just issued by
Herbert C. Hoover, food adj
ministrator for the United
States, and transmitted from
the office of the State Food
Administrator to all county Of
ficials of this organization in
Arkansas.
The new orders pertain to
the sale of sugar, which is linn
tied to two pounds in the city
and five pounds in the country.
The maximum quantity a
family is permitted to buy is
three pounds per capita per
month.
In other words, if there are
four in a family, that family is
entitled to twelve pounds of
sugar. That amount may only
be purchased two pounds at
time. Groeers should give re-
eeipts for each sale, showing
date of purchase. Seller and
buyers are cautioned to observe
this new ruling.
Sugar for commercial can
ming is to be allowed as need
ed. Sugar for home canning is
limited to sales of fifteen
pounds. When that is all and
more sugar needed for home
canning. the county food adj
ministrator may issue the nee
essary permit to get additional
sugar for that purpose only.
Beefsteak and roast pork
will be allowed on menus in
hotels, restaurants and public
eating places during one meal
a week only. Boiled beef may
be served but ON two meals a
week. In place of beef, the use
of pork and it's byproducts,
ham, bacon and sausage, is
urged.
The people of Arkansas
should understand that these
orders come direct from Mr..
Hoover and are made neces-
sary because of the increasing
numbers in the American army
in France.

UNCLE NAT WILSON
ABLE TO BE OUT

Uncle Nat Wilson is able to
be out again. after having been
confined. to his room since Ap-
ril.
While driving to the field to
work some time in April. a
small limb of a tree caught in
the harness of one of his horses
and flew back and struck him
in the left eye, producing a
painful injury. He went on to
the field, however, and began
blowing and in short time
was struck in the same eye by
a piece of trash which remain
ed IN his eye for some time,
causing a serious inflammation,
as result of which he has suf-
tered a great deal and has
been confined to his room for
more than two months.
His many friends are glad to
see him able to be out and
hope for his speedy recovery.

NEXT LIBERTY LOAN
WILL BE In OCTOBER
Government Will Ask For Six
Billion Dollars to Keep up
War Expenditures


The governments financial
program for the next four
months has just been disclosed
in a statement by Secretary
McAdoo, who says that in pre-
paration for the fourth Liber-
ty loan to be floated, probably
in October, about six billion
certificates of Indebtedness
will be issued. They will be
offered in blocks of $750,000,
GOO each, every two weeks,
beginning June %.
Every national bank and
trust company is asked to as
sist the government by SUBJ
scribing for 5 per cent of its
gross resources monthly. The
certificates will bear 4 IL per
cent interest, like those preeed-
ing the third Liberty loan, and
will have varying maturity
periods, none exceeding four
months.
In addition an undetermin-
ed quantity, perhaps $1,000
100000 Of tax certificates will
be issued during the summer
for use in paying taxes a year
from now.
Announcement of this pro-
gram indicates that the fourth
Liberty loan will be for at least
$6,000,000, 900, the exact a.
mount depending upon govern
ment expenditures in the next
few months. The treasury al
ready has estimated these rou-
ghly at $4,000 100000 be-
tween July | and next Janu-
airy 1.
The expenditures of the gov
eminent, so nearly as can be
estimated, will require the sale
of certificates of Indebtedness
up to the first of November,
1918, aggregating approxima-
tely Sc, 900, 100000 This would
involve the issue every two
weeks of about S750,0OO,000
of certificates substantially
similar in character to those
issued prior to the third Liber-
ty loan, except that they will
have various maturities not ex-
eeeding four months.

trip to the Atlantic Coast, Charles
Eckart of olaa brought word to Hilo
that his board of directors, meeting in
Honolulu, has authorized the imme-
diate construction Of a bagasse paper
mill, The Tribune says. *

Ii equally true that other papers of

Probably il will be year or more
before the mill Is running. Deliveries
on machinery of all sorts are uncertain
and tardy, both by reason Of delay at
the factories and in transportation of
the finished product. VI. ~
Ready Market Assured d.
But from the moment the mill begins
to meks paper, Mr.. Eckart says he ex.
poets to find a ready market for all Of
it, At present an output Of only 1915
tons day contemplated, but the 10.
cation and floor plan Of the mill will
be such that il can be expanded rs the
market Expands. .-s..s -. &. +. III
This output of sixteen and one-half
tons Is only ten percent of the amount
of paper that could be made If all the
bagasse now being fed to the boiler
fires were sent through the mill. And
what an output of 1915 tons day would
mean may be seen from Mr.. Eckart 8
statement that during his trip he went
through the largest book paper mill in
the world, located in Portland, Maine,
which has an output Of 275 tons a day.
Obviously, IL the manufacture Of paper
from bagasse were to be extended to
the other plantations Of the Islands, an
industry Of great magnitude would
have been inangurated.
Mr.. EekaFt ventures no guesses as to
this possibility, and he preferred to let
his directors announce for themselves
the amount they have appropriated for
the new mill. Only, as he said, ii can
he inferred without much difficulty
that a sixteen and a half ton paper
