Billion Dollars Loan For
War Purposes
The campaign for the fourth
Liberty Loan will open Satur
day, September 28, and contin
ue three weeks, ending Octob

ment just made by Secretary
McAdoo.
In fixing-three weeks as the
length of the campaign, in
stead of the four weeks as in
previous loans, treasury offi
cials plan for a more intensive
campaign. A shorter campaign
will also enable more business
men to enlist as workers.

sale of bonds and to prevent
the planning of other cam
paigns which might interfere
with the floating of the loan.
Although official announce
ment has not been made, the
amount of the loan probably
will be $6,000,000,000, and the
rate of interest which the
bonds will bear is 4 1-2 per

The Patriot s Creed
The following is by Judge
Roscoe Kiper, who lecturered
at the Chautauqua in Newark
yesterday afternoon and last
night.
It is a choice bit of senti
ment, beautifully expressed,
and we hope it will be clipped
and preserved in every home
in which The Journal is read.
I believe in my country.
I believe in its institutons—
that they are buiided on prin
ciples oi justice and liberty.
I believe in the loyalty of its
citizens—that their patriotism
is unselfish and sincere.
I believe in its homes and
firesides—that in and around
them are formed the policies of
the Nation and the h’gh ideals
of the Republic.
I believe in the character of
its manhood and womanhood
—that in them we behold the
greatest and best race.
I believe in its toilers wheth
er in office, shop or field—that
their songs of labor are peans
of the glory of the nation.
I believe in its greatness—
that it is the hope and guide
for all the nations of the earth.
T revere its past—for it holds
in sacred keeping the memory
of the great and good who
gave up life and fortune that
happiness might come to us.
I believe in its future—that
through its power and high-res
pect for human rights the
world will cease its war and
peace will come to all man
kind.
I love its flag—for in it?
fluttering folds 1 read the rec
ord of greatness achieved and
victory won and 1 pledge anew
rnv life and my means to keep
its colors gleaming in the sun
light.
All the regrets in the world won’t bring back
your money if you invest it foolishly in some wild
cat scheme and lose it—for lose it you surely will.
The one sure way to take care of your money
is to put it in our Bank where it is SAFE, and let it
pile up. Then you and yours, who are entitled to
it, will have it safe at your command at any time.
Put YOUR money in OUR bank.

NEW SUGAR RULING
IN EFFECT iODAli
Allowance of Sugar is Reduced
to i wo Pounds Per Person
Per Month
The rationing plan for sugai
for August will go into effect
today. The allotment has been
reduced all over the United
State to two pounds per person
per month. Hotels and all
other public eating places will
be reduced to two pounds per
ninety meals. Manufacturers
of less essentials, such as candy
and sott drinks will be unable
to procure any high grade su
gar whatever. They will have
to use what is known as sec
onds and thirds, and Arkansas
jobbers are striving to get that
class of sugar into the state
from Louisana.
The total allotment of sugar
for Arkansas during August is
3,895,000 pounds. That .'.mo
unt is 1,667,000 pounds less
than given to the state in July.
'I he utmost conservation is de
manded (;f the people, states
an announcement from State
Food Administrator, Hump
Williams.
Sugar for canning will be
given those needing it for that
purpose. Prompt arrest on the
charge of hoarding will follow
it proof is established sugar
was falsely ordered for can
ning and not used to save fruit
or food. Prosecution will also
result where it is proved any
one bought more than their
two pounds allotment.
Hotels, restaurants and all
other public eating places will
receive for their August al
lotment just two thirds of what
the got during July. Retail
stores will also be given loss
sugar. Their supply for Aug
ust will be cut 30 to 50 per
cent, depending on conditions
in the respective localities.
In a statement issued yester
day, State Food Administrator
Hamp Williams, says:
“Sugar today is more pre
cious than gold. It is a ques
tion of which cup you will Orop
your allowance in—the one you
hold or that held out by the
American soldier in France,
As the government needed
flour a few months ago, so, too
it needs the sugar, now. South
ern canning will be taken care
of. Let the people of Arkan
sas appreciate what the gov
ernment is doing in this res
pect and realize the full force
of the present sugar shortage.
To get sugar under the preten
se of using it for canning and
then appropriate it to gratify
personal consumption is just as
treacherous to the nation as
any act that would result in
the sinking of a transport load
ed with American soldiers.
“The people of the Allied
countries have long since giv
en up luxuries. No sugar is
served in public eating place*
over there. The per capita al
lowance per month in England
is 2 pounds, in France, is 1 1-2
pounds and Italy 1 pound. We
are allowed two pounds per
person per month. It is possi
ble, if every one will be saving
to get along with less than that
quota.
it is a question of the honor
of the people. The government
is depending on them to save
sugar. To do so will help win
the war. Let us remember
that officials in Washington
regard Arkansas as a pattern
for other states to follow. Keep
up the good work. Maintain
that enviable record. Put Ark
ansas over the top in sugar
conservation as you have in all
other features that makes for
the winning of the war.”
