sugar shortage. To get under the pre-
tense of using it for canning and then
appropriating it to crafty personal
consumption is just as treacherous to
the nation as any act that would result
in the sinking of transport loaded
with American soldiers.
The people of the Allied countries
have long since given up Injuries. No
sugar is served in public eating places
over there. The per capita allowance
per month in England is pounds, in
France is u pounds and Italy pound.
We are allowed two pounds per person
per month. 1t is possible, if every one
will be saving, to get along with less
than that quota.
1T is question of the honor of the
people. The government is depending
on them to save sugar. To do so will
help win the war. Let US remember
that officials in Washington regard
Arkansas as a pattern for other states
to follow. Keep up the good work
Maintain that enviable record. Put
Arkansas over the top in sugar con-
servation as you have in all other fea-
lures that make for the winning of

Meet at County Farm.

A meeting of the road overseers of
Chicot county was held at the County
farm yesterday pursuantto the call of
County Judge Toney. Every road
overseer in the county, with the excep-
ton of one, was present
A trip of inspection was made over
the farm, which was found to be in ex-
cellent shape. There are about 100
acres in high state of cultivation. In
addition to an excellent crop of cotton.
they have already raised enough food
and feed for themselves and their stock
for the next year.
Manager Frazier and his wife served
an excellent dinner. practically all of
which was prepared from their own
produce, furnishing additional evidence
of their efficiency and good manage
ment.
After dinner, Judge Toney called the
meeting to order and road matters
were discussed.
The editors of The Dermott News
and the Lake Village Spectator were
both present as guests of Judge Toney,
and could not fail to be impressed with
the excellent management which Judge
Toney has displayed in county affairs.
The farm is one of Chicot's most pros
porous institutions and the convict sys-
tenn is certainly an ideal one. making

Sugar More Precious Than
Gold.

The rationing plan for sugar for Aug.
ust goes into effect today. The allot.
ment has been reduced all over the
United States to two pounds per per-
son per month. Hotels and all other
public eating places will be reduced to
two pounds per ninety meals. Manu-
facturers of less essentials, such as
candy and soft drinks. will be unable
to procure any high grade sugar what
ever. They will have to use what is
known as seconds and thirds, and
Arkansas jobbers are striving to get
that class of sugar into the state from
louisiana
Sugar for canning will be given those
needing it for that purpose. Prompt
arrest on the charge of boarding will
follow if proof is established sugar was
falsely ordered for canning and not
used to save fruit or food. Prosecu-
ton will also result where it is proved
any one bought more than their two
pounds allotment.
In appeal to the people of Arkansas
to save sugar, Hamp Williams, federal
food administrator, says:
Sugar today is more precious than
gold. 1t is question of which cup you
will drop your allowance in the one you
hold or that held by the American
soldier in France. As the government
needed flour few months ago, so, too,
it needs the sugar now. Southern can
ming will be taken care of. Let the
people of Arkansas appreciate what
the government is doing in this respect
and realize the full force of the present

German Prisoners.

From reliable sources it is learned
that on plantation near Readland.
Ark. there are now employed fifty two
paroled German prisoners, and some of
of them. it is alleged, are men who
were taken from the North German
Lloyd steamers, when the government
took over those steamers at the out
break of the war
Ii is further understood that these
men are not under guard. and the only
restriction on them being their word of
honor that they will not leave the plan
tation where they are employed.
When one considers the acts of in
termed Germans in this country. and
then realizes the opportunities for harm
from these men in Arkansas. il is very
hard to understand just how the gov
eminent permits these men to be re-
tanned in this section.
The truth of the matter is that the
presence of these men is a menace to
the whole territory, from Chicot county.
Arkansas, to the Red river.
We all know and understand what
crops mean to the American troops and
the entire allied cause. and We all
know that crops were never more
promising in this section than they are
today We all know that with the riv-
er at the proper stage the breaking of
levee would mean ruin to the crops.
and We likewise know that an explosive
properly located would insure the prop
er break.
Would it be too much to assume that
If these men are paroled German pris-
oners that they would not welcome the
opportunity to render valuable aid to
the fatherland
Would it not be the easiest thing in
the world for them to accomplish such
a service, particularly if they are not
under guard
We deem the matter of sufficient i'm
portance to call the attention of the
proper authorities, in order that steps
may be taken to remove the element of
danger which it would seem exists.
We may be short of labor in this sec
ton and this country, but We certainly
prefer the shortage to paroled German
prisoners.
We have seen instances where de-
lays were injurious and harmful, and
We suggest that proper investigation
of these matters be made at once and
the necessary steps taken to remove
the element of danger. Our section
and its people cannot afford to stand for
this menace. - Editorial in Natchez
