THE GOVERNMENT CALL
TO THE MERCHANTS
The government has asked
Arkansas for five thousand
nine hundred and twenty two
merchants, who will become
their authorized Agencies for
the sale of United States Thrift
Stamps and War Savings
Stamps.
Mr. Moorhead Wright, the
State Director, has turned this
most important work over to
the traveling men, who are
represented by a committee of
which H. S. Spivey is chairman
and C. H. Wickard is secre
tary. They have appointed a
chairman for each county in
the state, Mr. J. W. Mullens
acting in this capacity in
Woodruff County, and he in
turn has appointed several men
to assist him. These are all
traveling men who make all
points in their county, and
their work consists in solicit
ing merchants to become Au
thorized Agencies of the
Treasury Department, who
agree to at all times keep a
stock of stamps on hand, and
push their sale.
The Treasury Department
keeps a record of all Agencies
established, and issues to each
a certificate, showing he is
their Authorized Selling Agent
Our country at this time is
expecting all of her loyal citi
zens to co-operate with her in
every way possible, and this
is the aid the merchants can,
and are expected to ^give, as
loyal merchants, they should
have on display their certifi
cates and feel a just pride in
its possession, knowing that
while our great and grand
I army is serving on the fields of
i France, the farmers are grow
I ing food stuffs, and the muni
tion workers are furnishing
the things needed on the battle
field, they are selling Ameri
ca’s securities, thereby supply
ing the money, without which
nothing could be done.
During the last few weeks
over twenty-six hundred mer
chants have become Treasury
Agents, and are doing a great
work.
These Selling Agencies must
not be confused with the Col
lection Agency who holds the
Pledge Cards. Pledges should
be paid at the collection Agen
cy designated on the Pledge
Card. The Selling Agency
should use all his best efforts
to induce those who have sign
ed pledge cards to increase the
amount they are pledged to
buy and sell to all those who
have not pledged to buy.
All people on entering a
store, should look for the Au
thorization Certificate. Let
it act as the merchant’s badge
of loyalty to America.
When Kaiser Bill was a little
kid,
He ate some small green ap
ples, he did;
Well you know what a pain
green apples can make,
They gave him some terrible
stomach ache!
Now War Thrift Stamps are
small and green;
So the Kaiser don’t like’em
see what I mean?
So buy’em and buy’em, and
pretty quick!
That Kaiser is going to be
pretty sick!

SAVE SUGAR
Sugar is used in canning
fruit to improve the flavor and
texture and is not necessary
for its preservation. Fruit may
be canned in water, in fruit
juice and in fruit syrup. The
sugar may be omitted without
in any way affecting the keep
ing quality of the fruit. Suc
cess in canning depends on the
thorough sterilization, and the
perfect sealing of the contain
ers.
Molasses, honey, sorghum,
and corn syrup may be used
as substitutes for sugar. Mo
lasses and sorghum give char
acteristic flavors to the prod
ucts but they are not objec
tionable with acid fruits. Then
spices added to jam, butters
and marmalades made with
molasses help to mask the fla
vor.
Honey is equally as sweet as
sugar and gives a better flavor
;than molasses. Three fourths
j of a cup of honey weighs as
i mnr'Vi ns ct nun n-f
c«n rvni*
Corn syrup may replace
three fourths of the sugar in
any recipe, except for making
jelly. Jams, butters preserves
and conserves lend themseves
to sugar savors more favorably
than does jelly.
To can fruit without sugar
select sound and perfect fruit,
peel, cut into pieces of the size
desired, place in steam or hot
water for a few minutes, and
pack in sterile jars. Cover
with boiling water (if sweet
ening is desired, add three ta
blespoons corn syrup to each
cup of water) process jars 30
minutes in hot water bath in
covered vessel; a wash boiler
with false bottom may be used.

FROM C. L. MILLER
Somewhere in. France,
August 3, 1918
Dear Mother:—
How are you and the fam
ily? I am all O. K. and my
work s easy enough, but I am
on call for duty 36 hours out of
every 48, so you see I only have
two hours to be out in the city
unless I get a midnight pass
and I can get only two a week.
If there should be enough work
to keep me busy the thirty-six
hours I would get a twelve
hour rest out of every forty
eight. Oh, well, its all through
life, and if it is necessary for
to work thirty-six hours with
out rest, well, I am just the kid
that can do it as well as the
next fellow. One consolation
and that it is won’t last long,
and I think the way things are
going now it won’t last over
another year at the utmost and
maybe, not so long as that. I
guess the first seven years of
the wTar will be the worse and
after that we won’t mind it so
much. I guess we will get our
money n a few days and I will
make good use of what little
leisure time I do have. My
pal and I are thinking of buy
ing a good kodak and if we do

weeks since I heard from you
and I diave never heard from
aunt Nellie and uncle John. I
have never received a letter

Oliver and only one from Ben

of Roy since he left me at
Camp Merritt, N. J. Oh, say if
you could see my girl, she can
not speak a wrord of English,
but I am learning French fast
for I have been over here over
four months and I have learn

I must close for this time, hop

you today. Bye, Bve.
