Mr.. Thomas, through the Division
of Extension, has been able to find a
market for all the Red Kidney beans
in the county; Octobers and String
less Green Pod are also in demand.
There seems to be very little demand
for Bird eyes and mixed beans; a
hard sell at this season of the year at
any price. The Greeneville Packing
Co. has agreed to handle the Red
Kidneys, Octobers and Stringless
Green Pod and others, provided a
market can be found.

MORE RIGID RULES

New and more rigid rules and in
structions for the conservation Of
wheat and -four are expected in view
Of the recent urgent request of the
government that more wheat be saw
ed. No idea whatever of any way in
which this is to be done is conveyed
in the announcement, but they expect
that it will be by way of direct limi-
tation of wheat in making -four, prob
ably by adding more substitute and a
limitation also in the output Of the
mills.

THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN

The campaign for the Third Liber-
ty Loan will be opened on the 9th Of
April, the anniversary of the declara-
ton Of a state Of war between the
United States and Germany.
The amount, terms, and conditions
of the loan are dependent upon fur
ther legislation and will be announced
as soon as Congress has granted the
necessary powers,
Secretary McAdoo chose the 9th Of
April as the day to open the cam
paign as the most fitting date to call
for a patriotic response to the sum
mons to duty to every American, to
ask from the people at home the same
fervent patriotism that actuates our
gallant sons on the battlefields Of
France and on the waters of the At
lantic.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION

Effective March 23rd. Retailers
must not sell more than one quarter
sack of wheat flour to any town Gus
toner at any one time and not more
than one half sack to any country
customer at any one time, and in no
case to sell wheat products without
the sale Of an equal weight of wheat
-four substitutes. Persons who have
their own corn must have the same
ground into meal, must have the mil
Ter give him a written statement
showing the amount of meal ground
and this statement must be presented
to the retailer and attached to the
pledge which the purchaser signs
when the -four is sold. All corn mill
ers should get printed certificates
from the town papers and have them
on hand for theuse of their custo-
mers. A person buying meal should
get certificate showing the amount
purchased so it can be used in pur-
chasing -four later.
The wheat -four situation in the
Nation is very critical and these new
regulations are absolutely necessary.
With the arrival of the harvest they
will be relaxed. The Food Admins
tration is wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and calls upon every loyal
home in Greene county to do it's part.
We have surplus Of irish Potatoes
substitute them for wheat flour.
The merchants and millers Of the
county are Loyalty following the rules
and regulations as shown by the large
number of reports and pledges for
warded to the Food Administrator.
Some have not yet mailed their report
and should do so Immediately. 1t has
been reported that some producers
are feeding wheat because they can
not get the price they want. 1t does
not seem possible that any citizen of
Greene county would be so disloyal.
Feeding wheat to animals or fowls at
this time would be crime. Our as
sociates must have wheat for their
soldiers and sailors; our own boys
must be fed. Wheat must not be
wasted.

IMPORTANT TO RED CROSS
KNITTERSi

Finding that there is no longer a
call for Sweaters during the summer
months, the Knitting Committee asks
that all who are knitting for the Red
Cross confne their work to the knit
ting of Socks. Be careful not to rib
the heel and see that your measure
ments are correct. Before finishing
toe, measure to see if you are going
to have foot IL inches long. This is
important and should not be over
looked. Do not use the small needles.
Those who have out yarn are urged
to work up and send in finished gar
ments at their earliest convenience.
The last order for yarn is now in
stock and we will be glad to see our
friends. Rooms open at o'clock on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

BOY POWER TO PLAY BIG PART
IN FEEDING THE WORLD.

Boy power, which played such a
big part in Kentucky this past year
in raising bumper crop to help win
the war, is to play an even larger
role this year in helping to feed the
world.
Official reports from overseas show
that the United States must come to
the rescue if the people of the coun-
tries devastated by war are to be
properly cared for. The u. S. Boys
Working Reserve in Kentucky is call
ed upon to join hands with all other
patriotic forces at home and abroad
in filling the worldwide need. While
boys in both agriculture and indus
try are included, special attention is
paid to the boy on the farm, whether
he is city or town boy who goes to
the farm to work during vacation
or to the country boy who helps bis
parents or neighbors on their farms.
A meeting of the State Advisory
Committee of the U. S. Boys Work
ing Reserve in Kentucky was held In
the State Headquarters, 345 Associ-
alton Building, Louisville, and plans
made for the coming year. Some Of
the most prominent men in the State
are active members of this committee
and devote considerable time to the
work. George E. Stephens has been
appointed by the Department of
Labor as Assistant Federal State Di-
rector and will be the Executive Sec
rotary, devoting his whole time to
the work.
Bronze badges and Service Bars
are now being sent out to all mem
bers Of the Reserve who earned
their rewards during the past year.
For SO days work a Bronze Badge
is given and for IS or more days, a
Service Bar is awarded. A large
number of these badges are now be-
ing worn by proud boys in Kentucky
who served their country faithfully
and we'll.
An official uniform has been adopt
ed and various prominent clothing
firms in the State are preparing to
handle them. The uniform was
adopted at a conference of national
and State officers of the Reserve in
Washington.
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1918-12-27

found that little more than sixty per
cent. of the limit, subscribers have
purchased only few of the stamps
pledged by them and some of them
have purchased none at all. The cards
placed at the postofice and in the
business houses have all been re-
viewed.
Many of those who made pledges
have purchased more than they
pledged themselves to do, while 9TH
ers have bought none at all. The
pledge as signed by many people in
the city and the county was made Gi-
rect to the United States Treasury.
Those who made their pledges at the
banks or the postoffice, and who have
subsequently purchased stamps at
business houses or from other agents,
are urged to go to the place where
their cards are filed and have them
credited with the number of stamps
bought, so that they may not be sent
notices reminding them of their tar
diness or negligence The limit list
of the county will be revised after
the first of the year, and the names
of those who have pledged the full
and have not redeemed their
pledges will be removed.
