SCHLEY HOWARD
AFTER "STILLERS'

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. g.
Representative Howard has introduc-
ed in the house bill which is design
ed to make more stringent the inter
nal revenue laws This bill is under
stood to have been prompted largely
by the reported Increased activities of
moonshiners in Georgia and by the apr
real of Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Roper for aid in putting an end
to illegal liquor manufacturing and
selling.
The first section of the Howard bill
provides a fine of not less than 1000
nor more than $4,000 and imprison-
ment of not less than one year and a
day nor more than two years upon
conviction for the first offense in vio-
lation of the internal revenue laws as
they apply to liquor dealers, manufac-
turers or rectifiers, or those engaged
in the bushes of a distiller. For the
second offense upon conviction, the
penalty is fixed at imprisonment for
not less than three nor more than five
years; and it shall not be deemed
necessary to allege such prior convic-
ton in the indictment, but the same
shall be a matter for inquiry by the
court after conviction"

Washington, Jan. 26.-The Amer

dent Wilson and the food admlnistra-
ton. "Victory bread" the food ad-
ministration calls it.
The reduced rations are asked for
the purpose of creating larger ex-
port surplus of food for the Euro
pean allies. Curtailment of consump-
ton will be accomplished largely by
volutary effort, but force will be en-
ploved wherever permitted under the
food control act.
The rationing system, as presented
by the president in proclamation
and by Food Administrator Hoover
in a list of regulations, forms the
food administration 1918 food con-
servation programme, of which the
chief featuress are:
A bakers bread of mixed fiours,
beginning Monday with a flve per
cent substitution of other cereals for
wheat until 20 per cent substltu-
ton is reached Feb. "a.

WAR SAVING CAMPAIGN
Joint Appeal to the People of Missis-
sippi and Louisiana.

A joint appeal to the people OF
Louisiana and Mississippi to con-
serve both labor and materials in or
der to assist in the support of the ma
tion's armies in the field and to pro-
vide them with the necessary equip
ment, has been issued by P. IL.
Saunders and J. T. Thomas, state di-
rectors of the National War Savings
Committee. The appeal is as fol
lows:
'The War Savings Campaign is the
most effective means of impresslng
the citizens of this country with the
fact that we cannot support vast
army in the field and a great navy at
sea and at the same time spend the
same amount Of money we used to
spend before the war for things which
may be perfectly proper to buy IN
times of peace but which are not
necessary to the carrying on of the
great war which we are now fighting.
'It is desired to impress upon the
American people that every. citizen
must get behind the government,
which is devoting it's entire energies
to waging a great warfare for free
dom. This warfare requires putting
of men in the field and keeping them
fed and clothed. 1t requires pro-
duction of ships and shells, guns and
rifles, motor trucks, saddlery, aero
planes, hospital supplies, food and a
great variety of goods, the output OF
which calls for vast industrial plants
from one end of the country to the
other, manned by millions of men and
women, who serve their country as
effective as our soldiers and sailors.
eff the American people require
all the pleasant and comfortable lux
uries which they consumed before the
war, they are making it necessary for
other factories and shops, also en-
ploying millions of men and women,
to produce articles which do not help
to bring peace, when they might be
devoting themselves to the production
of the necessary things which will
help to win the war;"

THE SECOND HEATLESS DAY.

Monday was the second heatless
day, and JTupelo had Sunday ap-
pearance all day. The grocery stores
remained open until noon and then
closed their doors for the remainder
of the day. The drug stores and banks
remained open for the day, as they
are not included in the closing or
der.
It can be said to the credit of ev-
eryone concerned that there is the
most hearty unanimity of spirit in
this order to close on Mondays in
Tupelo. Not a murmur or "kick''
coming from anyone that was affect
ed by the order, but all accepted it as
one Of the means to help the cause
for which our country is now at war
realizing that those in authority and
on whom the responsibility Of sue
cessful termination of the war de-
pends know what is best to be done
and that it is not necessary to explain
why these various orders are issued
but to accept them as they are given
and do all in our power to carry
them out. This is the true spirit
and with the country standing solidly
on this idea the end may come sooner
than we think.

The food administration will pur-
chase for the army and for the allies,

duce one barrel of flour of 1876
pounds from 264 pounds of wheat,
which represents IA per cent flour

auired to serve the new victory bread.
State food administrators will be
permitted to designate the wheatless
meal in each state Where this is not
done the food administration re-
quests that the evening meal. be OBJ
served as wheatless.
The presidents proclamation, be-
sides calling on the public for furth-
er reduction in consumption, makes a
renewed appeal to the housewife to
stop the waste Of food. 1t asks gen
eral observance Of the food admin
istration's regulations and calls on
the people, in addition, to hold down
their consumption of sugar.

Hoover Expects Big Saving.

Hoover Expects Big Saving.
There is no forcible limitation OF
purchases by householders, and in this
connection the food administrator
says:
"The effectiveness of these rules is
dependent solely upon the good will
of and the willingness of the Amer
lean people to sacrifice. In the last
ANALYSIS the success or failure of any
such plan as outlined rests with the
people. We have but, one police
force-the American woman-ano
we depend upon her to see that these
rules are obeyed by the small mi
nority who may fail"
Of the nearly 20,O00,O00 house
holders in the United States about
13, 900, 900 have signed the food ad'
ninistration's pledge to follow its
conservation directions and officials
believe the regulations will be gen
orally observed.
Mr.. Hoover estimates that observ
ance of the regulations will save
about 100000 bushels of wheat
month for shipment abroad. This

TUPELO LADIES CONSERVE


Miss Trood, State Urban Home
Demonstration Agent, of Jackson,
Miss, spoke to an interested audience
of ladies at the court house Wednes-
day afternoon at two-thirty o'clock.
In talking on food conservation
Miss Trood spoke of the prophecy
that, Femme Would Win This War;"
and explained how women of the
towns might help to win this war by
observing the rules on food conser-
walton suggested by our government.
Plans were laid for a permanent or
ganization of all the ladies of the
town, which will hold monthly meet
ings and have demonstrations in
cooking
The work will be begun with a
short course in cooking to last two
days. At this time demonstrations
will be given in planning and cooking
meatless, wheatless and sugarless
meals. Tie time for this short course
will be announced later.
We are exceedingly fortunate in
securing this work for our town.
Only two towns in each district in
the state have been selected, and our
thanks are largely due our District
Agent, Miss Victoria Hill, that we
were one of these. We feel sure that
we can depend on the ladies of Tu-
pelo to take advantage of this pri-
vilege and to "Do their Bit" in food
conserving.

will enable the allies to subsist, al
though their ration will be short. All
of the allies, and the central powers
as well, are on a war bread diet now.
Most of the allies are mixing 40 per
cent of corn meal and other substi-
tutes with wheat -four in all bread
baked, and all of Europe is milling
large amount of the whole wheat
grain. Both France and England
have recently cut down the bread ra-
ton by almost half.
If the voluntary rationing system
fails in this country it then, Mr..
Hoover said today, is up to Congress
We have no power under the yaw to
compel people to eat less"

STORM SUNDAY NIGHT
Stock Killed and Much Property Dam
age Done.

Sunday night between eleven and
twelve o'clock Tupelo was visited by
one of the hardest rains that has fal-
len here in many months. The rain
was accompanied by vivid lightning
and considerable wind, but no dam
age other than washed streets was
done in the city.
To the south of us, however, Sc
we're storm passed over the country
and near Shannon much damage was
done to property. Onsthe farms OF
Messrs. Nose Smith and j. E. Edg-
worth many tenant houses were de-
molished, injuring several, though not
seriously. While the homes of
Messrs. Mack and Cherry and Mil
ton Westmoreland were badly dam
aged by roofs being blown off. The
worst damage, however, was IN ne
gro town, which is called Guntown,
it being almost blown away, the
school house and score or more
houses were badly damaged. This is
the second time within the last sew
en- years that this vicinity has been
visited by storms.
Near Plantersville the residence of
Sam Bass was badly damaged by a
tree being blown across it, while
near by on the place of John Nc
Whorter the outhouses and barns
were blown down and three head of
fine stock killed
The recent SHOWS and this heavy
rain has made the country roads al
most impossible in some places, but
the various pixies of the county af-
ford easy travelling after they are
reached.
For the past week the weather has
been mere mild, and it is hoped that
the worst of the winter has been
passed, which has been one long to
be remembered as one of, if not the
worst, on record in this section.
