* FARMERS MAY KEEP
YEARS SUPPLY FLOUR
New Rule Permits Farmer Who
Grows Wheat to Retain
Flour For Family
Hamp Williams, federal
food administrator for Arkan
sas, has issued a new order
regulating the amount of
wheat that a farmer may keep
out of his crop for the use of
his own family. The new rul
ing permits a farmer who
gfows wheat to keep enough
flour to run his‘family tor 12
months on the basis of ^ 12 j
pounds per person per month.
An official copy of the new |
ruling has been furnished The
Journal by A. K. Goodnight,
county food administrator for
Independence county and :s as
follows:
NEW WHEAT RULING
Farmers in Arkansas who '
patriotically responded to the
request of their government to |
grow their own wheat are now
permitted to have that wheat
ground into flour and take
from the mill a supply of flour
sufficient to last them twelve
months, if they desire. Fur
thermore, they are not bound
by tht six pound per person
rule. They may take from the
mill flour from wheat they
grew on the rations of twelve
pounds per month for them
and their dependents.
Farmers who grow their
wheat are jjlso permitted to
keep a sufficient supply of seed
to sow their own land.
This new wheat and flour
ruling is to remain in effect
until new regulations are is
sued by the United States Food
Administration. Special atten
tion is called, however, that
when a farmer takes home a
twelve month’s supply of flour
at the rate of twelve pounds
per person, per month, he must
not use that flour without re
gard to substitute. He is ex
pected to patiotically use that
flour 50-50 and continue to
eat corn bread.
The modification of the for
mer order was made and the
farmer released from the six
pound per person rule with the
understanding that, if given a
year’s supply of flour from the
wheat he grew, he would con
tinue in the use of substitutes
ai)d corn bread. To do other
wise wold be both disloyal to
the government and violating
its rues and regulations
County Food Administrators
are authorized in any case
where a farmer sells flour
from wheat he grew and had
ground, to direct the mill to de
liver no more flour to him in
exchange for his wheat.
Under no circumstances a
farmer must not sell his flour
after getting a supply from the
mill.
Farmers who get a suppl.^of
flour from wheat they grew
and then sell that flour are
flagrantly violating the rules
and regulations of the United
States Food Administration.
They will be in danger of
having their entire supply of
flour confiscated.

NEWARK YOUNG MAN
SHOWS REAL PATRIOTISM
V. L. Pascoe, Jr. a well
known young- man of Newark,
has shown a heroic spirit, of
patriotism that is commendable
and that marks him as a young
man of strong determination.
He entered the army last sum
mer, immediately following the
first call for men, although he
was not of draft age and could
have evaded military service
for a year. After being in the
sendee a short time he was
discharged on account of phy
sical disabilities. Later he
tried to enter the aviation ser
vice, but was refused admis
sion, as no civilians were at
that time being taken into that
branch of the service- About a
month ago he went to Memphis
to join the Marines but was
rejected because of physical
disqualifications. However, he
was informed by the examing
officer, that his physical de
ficiency could be overcome by
an operation. The young man
came home and prepared him
self for the operation and last
week returned to Memphis
where he entered a hospital
and was operated on last Fri
day. He stood the operation
nicely and as soon as he recov
ers, he will be inducted into
the service.
Uncle Sam’s Marines have al
ways been noted for their
fighting qualities. From the
determination shown by the
young man in his efforts to get
into service, it seems that he
finally got into the proper
branch of the service and it is
safe to say that when he gets
into the firing line he will give
a good account of himself in
upholding the fighting reputa
tion of the world famous V. S.
Marines.
PEOPLE ARE PLEASED

dome Theater were the reeip
ents of many compliments this

good service as long as the
