General Pershng, their aid was joy
fully welcomed by the British and
French and Americas unseliSh action
in reinquishing independent command
for the time being was highly praised.
One hundred thousand thoroughly
trained American troops at once began
moving toward the places selected for
them, singing and cheering as they
ploughed their way through the mud,
happy that they were Mt last to have
opportunity to take real part in the
mighty conflict. Where they were as
signed to duty naturally has not been
revealed, but wherever they may fight,
there is not the least doubt that the
high opinion Of them held by the Brit
ish and French officers will be fully
justified.
The American aviators in France
have been giving invaluable aid and
have won unStinted praises by their
boldncss and skill during the battle.
Attached to the service of the allies,
they have helped them maintain com
plcte command of the air. The Ameri-

HAWORTH FOR COMMISSIONER
3rd DISTRICT

j. A. Haworth. OF Boyd. is a Re-
publican candidate for County Com
missioner of the 3rd District. his an
nouncement appearing in this issue
of the Herald.
Mr.. Haworth has been a resident
OF Beaver county for 13 years and
OF Oklahoma for 26 years. He came
here from Kingfisher. filing on a
homestead which he proved up and
on which he has resided since.
While stranger to the editor of
the Herald yet. he has been spoken
OF by those who know him as a capa-
BILE man for the place and one who
might be depended upon to do his
duty in such capacity. We present
his name to the voters OF the 3rd
district and trust that they will give
his candidacy careful consideration
and, IL he Is the right man for the
place, nominate and elect him.

DANIEL WOULD BE COUNTY
COMMISSIONER

In the political announcement col
umn of the Herald this week will be
found the announcement of A. c.
Daniel. of Boyd. Democratic candi-
date for County Commissioner of the
3rd District.
MIR. Daniel Is farmer of the Boyd
community. He fled on and proved
up on a homestead and has been a
resident OF the county since 1904,
with the exception OF two years spent
elsewhere.
Mr. Daniel has been supervisor of
the State roads OF his district for the
past two years and as such was in
cluded in the report made by the in
yestigating committee, at the in
stance OF the Good Roads committee,
which sought to determine where
and for what the vast amount of
road and bridge money had been
spent in this county by the present
board OF county commissioners.
Where Mr.. Daniel figured in the re-
port was that some $1,000. 90 or S.
, 10000 had been paid to him indi-
vidually to be paid to the men in
stead of being allowed TO the men
direct. This was the case, but Mr..
Daniel states that he has the books
and cancelled checks in his possess
sion, showing the hours put in by
each man and the amount paid by
! him and that his account balances
except for 22 cents, long, which is
still in the bank. He also states that
his account as such supervisor is op-
en- to inspection. II such is the case
and Mr.. Daniels record is clean, re-
gardless of what the action of the
county commissioners might have
been, he. of course. could not be held
accountable for the useless squand-
ering of road money. His work was
under the instruction of those higher
up. He built the road where il was or
dered built and there is no one who
will say that he did not do a good
job.
We present his name to the voters
of his district and. IL they nominate
and elect him, all the Herald asks is
that he be fair and honorable and
give all parts of the county a square
deal. We believe he will do that.

But few retailers realizs the SER

other large sugar producing countries
have fallen far short Of early esii.
mates. 1t has been necessary to
take many ships that formerly trans
ported sugar for duty over seas, re-
ducing shipping facilities to a miai-
mum, and great quantities Of sugar
have been destroyed by submarine
attack.
The allotment for Tennessee for
August is two pounds per person per
month, and retailers are required to
limit their sales accordingly. This
however, does not mean that you
can sell family thirty days supply
of sugar at one time. Your sales
MUST BE LIMITED TO TWO POUNDS TO
FAMILIES LIVING IN TOWNS AND CITIIs
aud 5 POUNDS TO FAMILIES LIVING IN
RURAL DISTRICTS.
Purchasers, if they are unpatriotic
enough to do so might evade these
rules by buying from different mer-
chants, but who would do this when
we are asked to save 10 order that
our boys in the army may be fed?
Any one buying more than allowed
or using canning sugar for any other
purpose is guilty of boarding and will
be subject to severe punishment.
Let us deny ourselves not for fear Of
punishment but for the sake of our
noble boys and our faithful allies.
FLOUR
Flour is more plentiful, but the
Government is asking the people
everywhere to use as much of the
substitutes as they DO -four. There
fore, if you have your own meal, you
do not have to buy the substitutes,
but simply sign pledge showing
tiat you have the meal. The mel
chants who sell -four to customers,
without requiring the pledge, unless
the customer buys pound for pound
of the substitute, violates the rules,
and is subject to fine.
So Do NOT FAIL TO HAVE THE
PLEDGE SIGNED, and mail to me at
the end Of each month.
| most respectfully ask the coop
Grafton of every body in this work.

He'd Cross sales.


AS result of voluntary gifts from
the townsfolk and farmers OF the coun-
ty, Maury chapter of the Red Cross, at
Columbia, has recently conducted a
/ big auction sale that netted the char
ter over $4,000. Gifts OF all descrip-
ton, including meats, ponies, mules,
brooms, ETC., were given, and some uu-
heard of prices we're paid For ex.
ample, $50 was paid for a broom and
Sc for a cat. Hams sold as high as
$50 and butter went at dollar a
pound. The enthusiasm was contag.
ious and there was keen rivalry be.
tween the purchasers. The scheme is
one that can be recommended to other
chapters.
Whatever may have been the merits
of the controversy during the floating
of the first and second Liberty loans
over whether or not the farmers were
doing their whole duty, there can DO
no question about their doing their
whole duty In respect to the third
Liberty loan From every county
come reports of extensive buying Of
bonds by the farmers When the a..
counts are finally cast UP 1t is conf
IDENTIFY believed that in proportion to
population and wealth, the farmers OF
Tennessee will be found to have done
as much in making the third Liberty
loan success as any other class OF
people.
Enforcing the Food Rules.
Another grocery license has been
suspended by the Food Administration
in Tennessee. This time Memphis
concern. the Memphis Flour and Feed
store, for fragrant violations of the
food regulations, was suspended for
30 days. J. H. Bibb, who runs two
stores at Halls. Tenn, was forbidden
the right to sell flour until after the
next harvest. He was also relieved of
the stock of flour that he had on hand.
1t was alleged that Bibb utterly re
fused to abide by the substitution
rules and the limitation Of quantity
sales, in disposing of his flour. Sew
eral mills in the state have been closed
down temporarily for failure to abide
by the food regulations and others
are under investigation. The Food
Administration will no longer tolerate
failure to observe its regulations.
To Conserve Labor.
Members of the war council Of Ten
nessee have taken up in concrete form
the question of conservation of labor.
