Sale Of War Supplies to Continue.

Washington, d. @. - Retail stores
through which the War Department
has sold many millions worth of COM
modities to the public at cost, will be
continued until stocks have been ex-
hausted or until "overhead'' charges
in any given case exceed 10 per cent
of receipts for sales. 1t is announced
by the War Department that most
of the items adapted for sale through
these stores have been marketed, and
the expense of operation is increasing
rapidly.
After the stores have been closed,
the War Department says, new me-
thod Of disposing of the Government's
surplus stocks will be adopted. Lists
of the remaining stocks will be pre-
pared. These will give description
of the material and facts as to the
quantity and price ofstorage. In each
instance the minimum quantity on
which bids will be received will be fix
ed as the smallest practical shipping
unit,regardless Of the total offered for
sale.
The total receipts from sales through
the more than seventy stores operated
by the department we're $25, 5,54s, ,21O up
to February 13, 1920. For the week
ending on that date, the sales aggre-
gated $773, ia.

From Arcadia Heights.

Since our last letter to the REGISTER
nothing of particular interest has oc-
Cured out here.
We have been having much rain,
but it is generally believed now that
spring has come. Thursday last a
large flock of wild geese passed here
on their way to the North. Hence
we believe that the back bone of Old
Winter has been broken, and that
spring has come to stay, which will
mean much to those who have been
buying feed for their live stock.
Mr.. Henson of Ironton called on
J. I. Patterson Saturday last, in the
interest of a life insurance company.
Mr.. Henson represents good COM
pany, but We did not take out any in
surance, owing to the fact that the
rate of insurance is too high for one
of our age.
lola Patterson, who has been out of
high school for more than two weeks
on account of sickness, started to
school again Monday. During the
past five years of continuous work in
the high school, she has never before
Leen absent more than ten or fifteen
days altogether, and never, so far as
we know, been tardy.
Mr.. O. w. Phillips last Tuesday sold
his other horse to Gilbert Hartwick,
having sold one horse to Mr.. Frank
Kuhn of Arcadia few weeks ago.
Mr.. Phillips says he does not ex-
pect to farm any this year, and Of
course does not want to keep team,
at the present high price Of feed. We
see where he is right, for if we should
have another failure in crops the
coming year, it will take a man with
a pretty stiff bank account to support
his family and feed team. But we
certainly yet have an abiding hope
that we may have an excellent crop
year this year. Watch now and see.
1t is said that Mr.. Hudson, who re-
Gently purchased land, one mile east
of Ironton, has returned to his home
in Joplin Whether he will return
soon, we have not been able to ascer-
tain.
1t is reported that Edward Hart
wick, who has been confined to the
house for the past five or six months,
is not expected TO recover.
1t was with sorrow we learned of
the death of Mrs. Leslie Stockton
(nee Miss Mary Spence) who died a
few weeks ago. Five years ago she
was pupil Of the writer in the pub
lie school at Iron Mountain, and we
never knew more kind, obedient and
cheerful young lady than she. 1t
does seem strange that God, in His
infinite wisdom, would call from earth
such brilliant light, and at the same
time leave two little children Gone an
infant) to face the stern realities of
life, never knowing the real comforts
of kind and loving mother. But as
her mother, (Mrs. R. W. Williams)
said to the writer not long ago, "Some
day we will know and understand
George Heartwick has leased the
old dairy farm, east of Ironton, and

John Monroe Black was born near

instantly killed by train at IrontoD,
Mo-, February 10, 1920
When but a small boy.he had to be-
gin making his living by hard labor,
thus paving the way for the success
full. energetic man that he became.
He was married to Molly B. Johns
ton February IL, 1891. To this union
were born three sons, Monty r. Black
of Edgehill, Mo-, and VIM. A. Black

In short time God called home his
wife, leaving him to rear the two
small boys; but he found another low

no one could do more than he, being
always full of hCpefulness and sym

and lending q willing hand at all
times.
His love and devotion for his family
were matchless. His whole life seem
ed devoted to living for others, al

sinking shaft in the mines at Sutton

is said that the intention is to sink the
largest mineral shaft south of Bonne

in the mines and it is being but in
shape for use as rapidly as possible.
Quite force Of hands are at work
out there, machinists, carpenters,
miners and common loborers. Wages
are from SO day up.
Edward Sutton of Fredericktown Is
working in the mines here, which are
located right where he was born and
reared. His old home is now worth
two million dollars. At the time he
left it was thought to be worth q
thousand dollars, possibly. Nathan
Sutton bought the undivided part of
the tract, east of the Kinney Branch,
for about $3.50, and sold it for $4,000.
Now look at it; railroad running
right up to where the old house stood,
$4,000 worth of machinery in the
yard and enough lead already drilled
through to keep the mines running
for thirty years or more. There are
lots of places in Iron County just like
