FOOD ADMINISTRATION

Realizing that, owing to the

going to be scarce and very much

merchants to see after getting al the
canning sugar possible. As soOn as
you get canning affidavits on HRaId.
turn them over to your drummer and
have him send you more sugar to take
the place of that you have sold for
canning. If you will be prompt and
see after this properly, we will be
able to get sugar to can the most of

Small boarding houses that feed
less than twenty persons day on an
average, may make an affidavit show

lowing them to buy a seven days
supply at the rate of two pounds fof'
every ninety meals served. Send me
a sworn statement showing the aver
age number of meals served each

accordingly.
Under no circumstances must a mer
chant sell more than fifty cents worth
of sugar to any one family at time.
and the 2-pound- per-month limit must
not be exceeded. And no merchant
must sell sugar to persons having

The beef restrictions nave been re-.

THE CARTHAGE FAIR SCORES ANOTHER
SIGNAL SUCCESS WITH BIG CROWDS

The regular annual Carthage Fair
came off last Thursday, Friday and
Saturday and was signal success
despite inconvenience caused by the
extreamly hot weather, dust and war
conservations. Each day witnessed
large attendances, some being record
days in the history of the fair. The
live stock and other exhibits were of
he best. We hope soon to give a list
of the premium winners. Outside of
ne unusually fine specimens of live
stock and other things of particular
hterest were the fine exhibits in the
floral hall. One deserving special
mention was a display of needle work
exhibited by Miss Effie Simpson of AL
exandria, which elected praise from

Foreign Trade In Winning War to Be Discussed.
 Motor Car Plays

President Wilson's proclamation reg ulating foreign trade in the interests of the war trade between America and her allies has called the attention of the country at large to the fact that American manufacturers have huilt up a sizeable foreign business to regulate. There is now a $2,ooO,00o,0O0 trade yearly with South America and with Asia, almost entirely in peace goods.
 The problems attaching to this com- merce will be the subject of consider ation at the fifth national foreign trade convention to be held in Cincinnati April IS, 19 and 20, under the aus pices of the national foreign trade council The main theme of the con- vention will be "The part of foreign trade in winning the war"
