Sugar Restrictions

We desire to give wide publicity
to the message just received from
State Food Administrator A restrict
ing the purchase of sugar as sci
forth in the telegram hereafter
given in part La reference TO the
same we desire to impress upon
merchants and customers alike the
necessity of observing these re
quirementS Consumers must not
attempt to evade this order by pur
chasing at different stoie es. Any
cases Of such attempts Of evasion OF
the order WiN be followed by
prosec Ition where the facts justify
such proceedings. Although we
instructed merchants that success
i've sales OF 20 pound lots for can
ming purposes might be made by
gning application, you will see by
the telegram that this provision
be no lopger effective, but after one
purchase of % pounds has been
made the consumer must obtain a
special permit from me for further
supplies. The telegram in part
reads as follows:
'sDue to submarine loss of sugar
and ships. no town Cr city con
sumner can hereafter buy more than
two pounds of sugar, and those in
the country five pounds of sugar at
a time. No householder can buy
more than twenty five pounds of
sugar for canning purposes except
on special permit from local food
admins traitor. Any violations by
retailers will cut off their sugar
Each retailer must keep a
sugar book for your inspection in
which all sales OF sugar with name
of buyers shall be recorded.

County Federal Food
Administrator.

Making Substantial improvements

The town of Barksdale officials
are making dandy improvements
on that part of ther town roads
leading across the Barrons to
the town of Iron River. 1t is
the intention of the Barksdale
people to build a road extending
across their town, distance of
eighteen miles. and the Iron
River end Of the road is also be-
ing improved and when work
which is now under way is COM
pleted it will give a direct route
across the county.
The Barron road has always
been a favorite one, but because
il was so crooked and had so
many hills it was difficult to
drive in dry weather. The
Barksdale people are taking out
the crooks and cutting down the
hills and it is bound to become
a fine road.
Because of the nature of the
soil very little work will be
needed to maintain this road
after it is once completed. At
the present time the road is in
a good state of repair.

Hold Your Bonds
Administrators.

Secretary McAdoo has tele-
graphed A. r. Rogers, Ninth
District Director of the Third
Libery Loan, to make appeal
that Liberty Loan bonds be not
traded for merchandise or for
the securities of private cor
porations.
! 1t has come to the attention
of the secretary of she treasury
so he advises Mr.. Rogers, that
| i'm a number of ms tances the
food, sound, government bonds
have been traded for some very
doubtful securities.
"But aside from warning peo-
pie not to trade their govern
ment bonds for securities of no
or doubtful value / wish to ap-
peal to bond holders in general
not to trade their bonds for any
thing, either for good securities
or for good merchandise, " says
Mr.. McAdoo. "To do so would
be to defeat ip a considerable
measure the purpose OF the
liberty loans.
Il am informed that many
merchants have advertised that
they would take liberty bonds
of auy of the three issues in ex'
change for merchandise. | do
not think that these merchants
| have intended to interfere with
the purpose of the liberty loan
In any way.
"But we have sought to have
these bonds purchased for per-
manent investment out of past
| or future savings, such savings
thereby effecting conservation
lof both labor and materials. 10
exchange these bonds for mere
Ichandise or service is to thwart
the conservation feature OF the
Liberty Loan campaigns.
"The inadvisability OF ex-
changing government bonds for
doubtful securities needs no
argument. But they should not
be exchanged for securities OF
Eany kind. Practically all the
substantial and representative
investment houses have unset
Ifshly aided in. the Liberty Loan
campaigns and it is inconcelv-
able that after the magnificent
work of distributing govern
ment bonds any effort should be
made to substitute other Sc
curities."

iron RIVER man
SHOT IN ROW
George Hughes Of Superior Accused
of the Crime
Claims that he Shot to Scare Nelson but
Shot Entered Nelson's
Arm.

A drunken brawl at Iron River
Tuesday afternoon resulted in
John Nelson, known as Coffee
John" being shot through the
arm by George Hughes of Su-
perior. Nelson is in the hospital
receiving treatment while
Hughes is in Jail charged with
the shooting.
The shooting occurred at a
road house out from Iron River
at about five o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. Hughes claims that
he and Mrs. Hughes were at the
road house attending to their
usual duties when Nelson ap-
peared at the place and started
a row. Nelson, who is 60 years
of age, engaged Hughes, who is
38, in fisticuffs after which the
trouble started to subside.
Hughes says that Nelson again
renewed the fight and not only
I'M jured Hughes. but also
knocked Mrs. Hughes to the
floor. Hughes says he retired
behind the bar and Nelson fol-
lowed him. At this point
Hughes whipped out a gun and
fired, he says, with the intention
of soaring Nelson, but just as
he fred Ass'san Iaised his arm
and the bullet hit him. 1t is
not thought the wound will
prove serious.
Deputy Sheriff Long went to
Superior yesterday where he
captured Nelson and the man
was given a hearing at Iron
River yesterday before Judge
Savage.
Iron River is one Of the few
places in the northern part of
the state which licenses saloons.

War Department Shows Procedure il
Notifying Relatives Of Casualties

Relatives Of soldiers named In
casualty lists forwarded from
France ordinarily are notified with
in "a hours after receipt of the lists
according to statement authorized
Wy the War Department. A
Statistical DIVISION" with a staff
of officers and a corps OF steno-
graphers, gives all it's time to the
maintenance of files of soldiers
names and addresses. This division
notihes relatives.
1 A copy OF the roster OF each con-
tingert sailing to join the Elk
peditionary Forces is filed in card
index fashion. each card bearing the
name of one soldier, his organization
and the name and address of parent
Or other relative or friend desig-
mated by him to be notified in
emergency. When casualty list
is received from General Pershing
each name cabled from the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Force is listed
with the emergency address on file
in the card index. As rapidly as the
new list with emergency addresses
is builtlup the telegraph clerks get
duplicates. These clerks are al
ready supplied with blank kilograms
which require only the relatives
address. name of sender, nature CT
casualty and the date, and filling in
the blank spaces they get the tele-
grams off as quickly as possible. In
addition to maintaining the tele
graph blanks for the sake OF speed

in and mailed when further details
are available.
While relatives are generally in
receipt of information within "a
hours after the cables are received,
delays are SON etimes due to clerical
errors caused by the fact that names
must pass through SO many hands
in France aud in America, incorrect
emergency addresses turned in by
soldiers, removal of families to ad-
dresses other than those listed, and
the occasional necessity for cabling
back to Gen. Pershing to verify a
name or to obtain an address.
Aside from these four causes of
delav the only reason for the failure
of relatives to receive word at once
is military consideration. Gen.
Pershing may, at his discretion,
withhold a casualty list until he is
positive it will have no military
value to the enemy.

Drill Was Fine

A very fine flag drill was
given at the Methodist church
last Sunday evening by the
Methodist Sunday school which
was one of the best drills of the
kind ever given in the city. In
connection with the drill there
were recitations.
Miss Ruth Smith had charge
Of the drilling of the children
and the drill showed much work
and was very fine. Many pres
ent learned things about the
American flag which they did
not know before, especially
along the line of the evolution
of the flag and how it originated.
