WAN SAVINGS STAMPS NON.
TAXABLE.

When preparing for the issuin0
OF Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Certificates the national admlnistra-
tration very wisely decided that
they should not be subject to any
taxes, federal, state or local. In
this respect they are entirely
unique, being free when almost cv-
erythins else 10 subject to impost.
A. the amount that an Individual
may hold is limited to $1,000, this
concession does not deal unJustiy
toward other security holders.
II 10 simply an indueement to the
small investor to make an unusual
effort In his own and his esuntry's
behalf by depositing ~ much Of his
surplus with the government a.
possible. Those who buy these ne.
tie bonds-and all should Dc ~
should understand In advance Of
the coming days Of taxation return
In April that whatever OF their

Great Whect Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated in India. and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January 1, Australia had
stored lO0.OOO.OOO bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex.
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of SO,OOO..
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately lS0,OOO.OOO bush.
els waiting for ships
India. at the same time, had
i0,0OO,OOO bushels Of wheat
stored for export During April
5O,OOO,OO0 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels Of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add l35. 100000 to
the left over.
II Is not problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it Is entirely problem
OF shipping. which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid.

Lend,
NOT
GIVE

In asking people to invest
in War Savings Stamps, the
Government is not asking
them to contribute money.
1t Is merely asking for the
use Of money, and willing to
pay literally for it.
The Government simply
wishes to employ your money
and pay for it's services just
as it would employ you and
pay you for your services.
You will get your money
back with interest - COM
pound interest at the rate Of
per cent per annum. The
stamps mature in five years,
but you can cash them any
time you wish before the
date Of maturity and still get
interest-at three per cent.
If you need the services of
your money before five years,
the savings stamp handed to
the postmaster will be the
letter Of resignation, and
you'll get your money back
with additional payment for
the time the Government has
used it.
There is no red tape, no
bother, no uncertainty, no
worry. 1t is the simplest,
safest, and most satisfactory
investment you can make.

boarded FLOUR DISTRIBUTED

"Twenty-four barrels of flour, that
amount being held to be in excess of
the reasonable supply to which the
firm was entitled, was distributed
recently by the United States Food
Administration at Spring Hill.
The flour was found in possession
of ]. 7. Hargrove & Co., who had
stocked up beyond the amount allowed
them under the regulations of the
Food Administration. AS soon as
this fact was discovered a represen-
tative of the administration was sent
to Spring Hill and an investigation
followed, with the result that the firm
was told that the excess stock Of
flour must either be returned again
to the ordinary channels Of trade and
distributed through other merchants,
or they would be reported to the de-
partment Of justice under sections 6
and Z of the Food Control Act.
The firm acted promptly and ex-
pressed a willingness to make any
disposition of the flour that the Food
Administration might suggest. Then,
under direction of the representative
of the Food Administration, "a bar
rels were distributed to other mer-
chants, NO profit being allowed Har-
grove & Co. thereon. The firm TAX
ing the flour agreed to sell it at a
profit of only one dollar barrel.
It was also found that this flour
had been sold to Hargrove & Co. at
what was an excessive wholesale price
and the Food Administration directed
the wholesalers to rebate ID cents a
barrel. which order was promptly
complied with. Under the arrange
ment made, the consumers get the
full benefit of the transaction, and
the flour goes into the hands Of the
merchants who were short on flour.
A number of other similar cases
are being investigated in the State,
and already in several counties, in
dividuals who have boarded flour have
been forced to return it to the trade.

OBITUARY

The sad privilege devolves upon me
This morning to chronicle the death
If Robert L. Ray, which occurred at
his home near Covington, Upton coun-
ty, Tennessee, January "a, 1918.
Mr.. Ray was born in Lauderdale
county, on July IA, 1880.
The duration Of his sickness was
IL days, the cause Of his death being
pneumonia.
Robert Ray was a quiet, unassun1-
ing young man of many sterling quail
tiles which go into the makeup Of
splendid manhood and upright citizen
ship.
He leaves to mourn his untimely
death faithful young wife and four
children; also a mother and two sis
tiers. He was kind and devoted
husband, a tender and loving father
and a staunch citizen. The loss of
such man as Robert is not only a
loss to his family, but loss to the
community in which he lived
Oh, we regret to give him up! He
was heard murmuring prayers to his
Saviour just short while before he
died. There are no words of ours
that can heal the wounds in the
hearts Of those whose love for him
was greatest, but God, the Giyer Of
every true and perfect gift, can give
to broken hearts the peace that pas
seth all understanding. And our ex-
hortation to those loved ones whom
he left upon this mundane shore is,
that they so live that when the "pale
boatman" shall launch his barge across
that dark river to carry them as his
passengers into the great unknown,
their faith and works shall be such
that they shall enter into the white
and pearly gates-into the city not
made with hands, but which is Gods
eternal in the heavens-that they
shall there dwell with him who has
gone on before, and be once more
united family unto the everlasting.
This is the heartfelt wish Of their
aunt,
MATTE FREDERICK.

HARRY CALCUTTS BODY
FOUND In REELFOOT LAKE

A dispatch from Dyersburg to the
Memphis Commercial Appeal under
date Of February IA, says that the
body of Harry Calcutt, foremrly OF
the first-named place, was found in
Reelfoot Lake at moon today by
searchers who had been dragging the
IKE.
Mi. Calcutt, who was lumber man
and connected with a prominent fam
lily here, disappeared December 10,
when he left a party Of friends with
whom he had been hunting with the
intention Of skating across the lake
to his lumber camp at Markham.
When members Of the camp re-
ported four days later to the young
mans father that he never reached
the camp, search was instituted for
him, but no trace of the missing man
could be found.
His body was recovered at Caney
Island, about two miles from the lum-
Der camp, and it is presumed that he
skated into an air hole. The lake
was frozen over until last week, and
it was impossible to drag the water.
His remains will be brought to Dy-
ersburg on a special train.
He was 80 years of age, and the
son Of N. w. Calcutt, president of
the Mercantile Bank & Trust Co., and
was the junior member Of the firm
Of N. w Calcutt & Co., who control
vast timber interests in this section.
He is survived by his wife, father,
mother, brother, Connie Calcutt, and
sister, Mrs. R. L. Motley, all of Dy-
ersburg.

His Experience

Every Covington resident should

Kidney Pills and speaks from expe-

ment with limitations or untried kid
ney medicines?
/. R. Calhoun, farmer, Maple St.,
Covington, says: "It was about three
years ago l used Doan's Kidney Pills
and well remember the benefit they
brought me. was suffering from
uric acid poison, caused by disordered
kidneys. When walking up and down
stairs, my back panied terribly. My
kidneys acted irregularly, too. As
soon as / started taking Doan's Kid
ney Pills, / was relieved, and have
been free from kidney troubles ever
since"

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
CAMPAIGN TO START SOON

Mr.. J. H. Flippin, Upton county
chairman Of the forthcoming third
Liberty loan, attended the meeting Of
those who will compose the machinery
for executing the governments plan,
held at the Chisca hotel, Memphis,
Friday-the representatives of the
central committee of the eighth fed
eral reserve board district.
In a general way the organization
contemplates pretty much the same
plan of campaign as was conducted
under the second loan.
However, it is desired for the third
loan to reach more individuals, who
ought to be partners with democracy
in this war against democracy's great
est enemy, according to the CONNER
cial Appeal Of February Is.
The second loan was great sue
cess, but large part Of that subscrib-
ed outside Of cities was taken by
banks. The individual Of the rural
district did not absorb his share.
1t was not the fault of the indi-
vidual, nor was his delinquency due
to financial inability. Lack Of or
eanization was to blame, and the lin
tied time there was to get ready the
primary trouble
The rural citizen will do his part.
Means to reach him was lacking be-
fore. 1t will not be so again. The
purpose of the meeting Friday was to
prevent a recurrence of such trouble.
County committees which met in
Memphis Friday will return to their
counties to appoint directors for va
rious departments which will be con-
Quoted along well defined lines.
