TO ORGANIZE HOME
GUARD FOR NEWARK
Capt. Chas. McCIae Addresses
Citizens and Assists in Or
ganization Work
A meeting was held at the
Methodist church Friday night
lor the purpose of organizing
a company of Home Guards.
Capt. Chas. C. McCiue of
Batesville was present and
made a splendid talk on the
necessity ot such an organiza
tion at this time in every com
munity. Another meeting will
be held later for the purpose
, of electing officers and com
pleting the organization.
The benefit to be derived by
young men in the draft age
joining Home Guard Compan
ies is strikingly illustrated in
the Clarendon Home Guard
■Company. Eight of its young
mee have recently been draft
ed and a few days after they
were inducted, they were made
non-commissioned officers, sev
&n as sergeants and one as cor
poral. They had never drilled
a day before they joined the
Home Guard Company.

was struck in the eye with a
bundle of wheat while work
ing in a wheat field a few days
ago, resulting in injuries to hi?
eye that will probably cause
total blindness. He was taken
to Newport where he Is undei
treatment of an eye specialist,
but the injured eye shows no
improvement.
Mr. Herrington lost one eye
several years ago and this in
jury to his other eye will result

That does not happen to the man with

NEWARK, ARKANSAS
- k
NEXT LIBERTY LOAN
WILL BE IN OCTOBER
Government Will Ask For Six
Billion Dollars to Keep up
War Expenditures
The government’s financial
; program for the next four
months has just been disclosed
in a statement by Secretary
| McAdoo, who says that in pre
paration for the fourth Liber
ty loan to be floated, probably
i in October, about six' billion
: certificates of indebtedness
; will be issued. They will be
: ottered in blocks of $750,000,
i 000 each, every two weeks,
| beginning June 25.
Every national bank and
1 trust company is asked to as
j sist the government by sub
| scribing for 5 per cent of its
I gross resources monthly. The
I certificates will bear 4 1-2 per
! cent interest, like those preced
i ing the third Liberty loan, and
I will have varying maturity
| periods, none exceeding four
months.
In addition an undetermin
J ed quantity, perhaps $2,000,
i 000,000 of tax certificates will
be issued during the summer
for use in paying taxes a year
from now.
Announcement of this pro
gram indicates that the fourth
Liberty loan will be for at least
$6,000,000,000, the exact a
mount depending upon govern
ment expenditures in the next,
few months. The treasury al
ready has estimated these rou
ghly at $12,000,000,000 be
tween July 1 and next Janu
ary 1.
The expenditures of the gov
ernment, so nearly as can be
estimated, will require the sale
of certificates of indetedness
up to the first of November,
1918, aggregating approxima
tely $6,000,000,000.This would
involve the issue every two
weeks of about $750,000,000
of certificates substantially
similar in character to those
issued prior to the third Liber
ty loan, except that they will
nave various maturities not ex
. ceding four months.

TO TIGHTEN UP ON
FOOD REGULATIONS
Sale of Sugar Now Limited to
Three Pounds Per Month
For Each Family
•
The war slogan of the Unit
ed States Food Administration,
“Food Will Win the War!”was
most emphatically brought
home to the people of thecoun
try in new orders just issued by
Herbert C. Hoover, food ad
ministrator for the United
States, and transmitted from
the office of the State Food
Administrator to all county of
ficials of this organization in
Arkansas.
The new orders pertain to
the sale of sugar, which is lim
ited to two pounds in the city
and five pounds in the country.
The maximum quantity a
family is permitted to buy is
three pounds per capita per
month..
In other words, if there are
four in a family, that family is
entitled to twelve pounds of
sugar. That amount may only
be purchased two pounds at a
time. Grocers should give re
ceipts for each sale, showing
date of purchase. Seller and
buyers are cautioned to observe
this new ruling.
Sugar for commercial can
ining is to be allowed as need
ed. Sugar for home canning is
limited to sales of fifteen
pounds. When that is all and
more sugar needed for home
canning, the county food ad
ministrator may issue the nec
essary permit to get additional
sugar for that purpose only.
Beefsteak and roast pork
will be allowed on menus in
hotels, restaurants and public
eating places during one meal
a week only. Boiled beef may
be served but on two meals a
week. In place of beef, the use
of pork and its byproducts,
ham, bacon and sausage, is
urged.
The people of Arkansas
should understand that these
orders come direct from Mr.
Hoover and are made neces
sary because of the-increasing
numbers in the American army
in France.

UNCLE NAT WILSON
ABLE TO BE OUT
Um le Nat Wilson is able to
be out again, after having been
confined* to his room since Ap
ril.
While driving to the* field to
work some time in April, a
small limb of a tree caught in
the harness of one of his horses
and flew back and struck him
in the left eye, producing a
painful injury. He went on to
the field, however, and began
plowing and in a short time
was struck in the same eye by
a piece of trash which remain
ed in his eye for some time,
causing a serious inflammation,
as a result of which he has suf
fered a great deal and has
been confined to his room for
more than two months.
His many friends are glad to
see him able to be out and
hope for his speedy recovery.

® UNITED WE STAND
4# W fl? '#? ^|: 4$ 4$
The fact is becoming every
day more and more apparent
that Germany is finding a unit
ed foe too strong for all her
boasted efficiency. The allied
battle lines are standing firm,
and the Prussian objective of
Paris or the Channel ports
seems as far from being at
tained as at any time since the
German hordes were turned
back at the Marne.
But when Prussian arms fail,
Prussian strategy gets on the
job. And Prussian strategy is
on the job these days—as large
as life. The object of that stra
tegy is to effect disaffection
and division in the ranks of its
enemies. Well the Hohenzol
lerns know that with the Al
lies thoroughly united in aims
and methods, the Prussian am
bition is doomed.
German propaganda humb
led Russia—not German arms.
German intrigue was the one
cause of the disastrous Aus
trian drive into Italy. German
propaganda will now—is now
—aimed at driving a wedge
between the allied nations. No
opportunity will be neglected,
it matters not how small it may
be, of sowing dissensions be
tween the nations leagued
against her.
So, if you even think that we
have a grievance against any
of our allies, lock that thought
up carefully in your heart and
never let it see the light of day
till this gigantic conflict is
fought to a finish.
And when that result shall
have been achieved, you will
doubtless find that you can
thank Prussian strategy for
having ever entertained a
doubt of those who are dying
by the side of our sons.
