Associated Press Dispatch.

HELP WIN THE WAR.

The full executive committee of the National Retail Grocers Association adopted the following resolutions and the people should fall in line and aid in their reduction of man power, as we'll as various other expenses.
 We recommend that retail grocers discontinue the soliciting of orders during the period of war.
 We recommend the limitation of all deliveries to one a day to any one family or on any one route. We recommend that under condi- tions and in localities where it is feas- ible, the cooperative system of deliv- cry be employed.
 We urge all retailers and their clerks to concentrate their efforts on selling wholesome and nutritious sub stitutes for white flour and meat. We recommend that the retailers use their efforts to sell articles of food that are cheap yet of good quail ity in the place of high priced staples, and that in doing so they be guided | by the recommendations of the Con- servative Department of the Food Administratidn and urge the most strict economy in the conduct of all retail grocery stores, and constant effort to eliminate all waste and ex- travagant methods, to the end that time, energy, fuel, equipment and men may be conserved, and that wholesome food may be placed in the hands of consumers at the lowest possible prices.
 1 We ask all retailers to urge the sale of such articles as soup stock and materials, peas, rice, barley, fresh vegetables and fresh and canned cove oysters.

Added to the extreme cold temperature was the presence of about ten inches of snow.

THE WRONG IMPRESSION

Unfortunately an impression seems prevalent that the Thrift Stamp idea is intended for the saving by chil- dren. This is not at all the intent. If each individual in Jackson county would systematically take an inter- est in the proposition, the $540,000 expected from Jackson county would be reasonable possibility. There are approximately twenty-seven thousand people in Jackson county. If twenty-five thousand of these peo- pie would buy two thrift stamps each week the total in a year would be S572 900. This allows for five thous- and children too young to appreciate the necessity or value of this saving. If for four weeks twenty-two thous- anl people in Jackson county were to buy two thrift stamps each per week, the net earnings on the War Savings Stamps thus secured would be $7,568, in other words the buyers of these stamps would be in five years $7,568 better off than they are today, with the added satisfaction of having done part toward financing the war.
 An individual who spends no more than 50 cents per week for non-cs- sentials would be accounted somewhat of tight-wad. There are few chil- dren in Newport who do not spend at l least 50 cents each week unnecessa- rily, and doubtless no men or women. If 22,0OO people in Jackson county could be brought to appreciate that it is absolutely necessary and essen- tial that they save 50 cents each week, there would be absolutely no question as to the county going over the top with it's allotment of the War Savings Stamp issue. If 22,000 peo- pie in the county would buy two ] Thrift Stamps each, per week, 1t would mean cash saving in the coun- ty in one year of approximately one fourth of the total bank deposits in the county today. The great ques- l tion confronting the organization having the sale of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps in charge, is how to get all of the people in the county to thinking about THRIFT and SAVINGS all of the time. If this could or can be done there IS nothing more to it. It is unfortun- ate that it seems necessary to appeal to the sentiment and emotions of the people to interest them in cold bus l mess proposition such as this is. A proposition where there can be no loss and must be great gain. The systematic saving of 50 cents each week would go far toward forming 2 habit that would be of vast benefit te the people of this county. We are too prone to take the "Let George ds it'' attitude. This is one job that George" can't do and some wa. must be found to bring to the realiza tion of every man and woman in the county that it is their individual bus mess and duty to SAVE and to hell win the war.

CHEER UP -LOOk
 AT LITTLE ROCK
Heavy Snow Storm Ties Up Traffic and Nearly Everything Else
 In the Capital City.

Special to the Independent
 Little Rock, Jan. 12.-Little Rock is walking.
 For the first time in many years, if not the first time, the street rail- way system was tied up all day, and unable to run.
 It was not the fault of the street railway company, nor of it's em- ployes, for they did their best.
 It was all on account of the heav- fest snow that had occurred here for 23 years.
 Thursday night and Friday there was snowfall of seven inches, as officially recorded, accompanied by a wind which famed it into a severe blizzard, and the mercury went 10 below last night.
 This was the heaviest on record, since January 17-18, 1885, when there was a fall of 13 inches. The normal snowfall for a whole season is only 57 inches.
 The snow was proceeded by sleet, which froze on the street car tracks. The cars tried to run all night to keep the tracks open, but had to give it up soon after midnight.
 And Friday morning people who had business down town had to "hoof it" through the blinding snow-storm, or take chance in their automobile.
 It was hard pulling for the autos, even with chains on the wheels, and many of them were stalled in at tempting to blow through unbroken drifts.
 The street car company tried to open lCS IIdChS, Oue CilCIS was c Soe'o- ing of ice on the rails, and snow blows and road scrapers made no impress sion on it.
 The sun came out in the afternoon, but that made no impression on the snow, either, for it seemed vehy cold and distant old sun that was not on duty very efficiently.
 It did not melt, but it blew, and the air was filled with cutting particles of ice.
 The High School and several of the ward schools suspended, as the chil- dren could not get to school.
 Many business men did not come down town, and business generally was demoralized.
 To add to the delight of the day, the gas pressure, which is always low during cold weather, had about the the heating quality of tallow candle, and there is very little coal or wood in the city.
 But with all the discomforts, the people were good natured and made the best of the situation-they were assured that there would be some thing entirely different to kick about on the Fourth of July.

PAY FOR BOARD MEMBERS.

Little Rock, Jan. 12.-A regulation has been approved by the president fixing the compensation for inemher4 of local boards upon basis of thirty cents for each registrant finally clak7 sifed.
 Many members are serving gratu tously, while others are charging fS} their time.
 In an address issued to the boards the adjutant general says:
 "The nation is at war. PersonS sacrifices are being made on ever, hand. The soldiers who are being selected by local and district boards have given up comfortable homes{ have severed home ties, in many cases have been obliged to sacrifice large incomes in order to work 1 fight for their country, twenty-f hours day for thirty dollar month. Most of these men are VI ing to serve for even less or for II thing. They are enduring or VII hereafter endure suffering and hardy ships and in many cases be compelled to sacrifice their lives or health. 1 Therefore it is not unreasonable to request the great army composed o1 local board members to mect-the government and cooperate with It in the matter of minimum cost"
