"e Pitgtliti.d Journal Published Wednesday Mornings l?y the Journal Company 1'; ie' > * ^ ^ ^ 7 7 J February 6,1918 / For mouths the government through the papers asked the people to save flour and not store H away. Pleading did not avail, and now your Uncle has had somewhat to say that has caused us to take notice. We are still asked to save, especially wheat, meat and sugar, but if a tendency to disregard these in structions is manifested it is only a question of time until we shall have these things dished out to us in small quantities only. It is far better to heed now than to be tarred later. A And so the fellow who always thinks so intently upon his own comfort that all neighborly in terest in his fellowman is excluded is now going to bring back the eight or ten sacks of flour he has stored away for his own use. He thought there might not be enough for all until harvest, so he would buy up a supply and make his own biscuit sure, whether others had bread or not. He has shown himself to be very thoughtless or selfish, and our Uncle Sam has found it necessary to teadh him a little etiquette. After g\d has loaded up the flour /nd hauled it bach he will Aiirtk. about three times belong he hauls away a whole years supply I ^ Qfld lycry i n <\ /Lumber of pou lulstaf somesub stitute was a joke, Amazement was revealed in the countenance when a merchant would quietly but firmly refuse to sell his flour for good honest money. Such a thing had not beer heard of bejfore. But the merchants here i have obeyed the order, and a \ |man gets no flour unless he buys \ jan equal number of pounds of \ meal, grits, -hominy^dflVe, buck \i wheat flour, potatcVflour or | ^Wjhme other substitute^ Most of Tdie customers accept'lhe situa * W' tion with good grace, out a few manifest a self-willed disposition. 1 One man tried the town over, \ and finally stated, with a' few \ words not usually heard in Sun\duy school, that he would po to Monroe and get him a few sack^, v of tlour. A negro insisted that i was flour he wanted and not loth meal and flour. After blearibg his eyes in wonderment for a while he said he would go back a^d let Cap come and <ret it. bht Cap didn't gel it. Automobile Torn Up by Loose \ * Freight Car \ r Dr. M. P.

Changes in the Ford p!ant to permit the handling ot the work have progressed so swiftly, Mr. Daniels said, that the deliveries during the coming summor are assured. The new vessels are expected to prove far superior to the chasers now iu use. They will have steam power with a greater radius ol action, will be more seaworthy and will be able to carry heavier armament. It has developed that the latest German submarines are equipped with guns which outrange those of, small chasers and even some merchant ships.

Secretary Daniels said the navy now has 95.000 men under instruction and, with the recommended increase, will have men enough to supply crews not only for the entire naval ^onstruc tion program as now contemplated, but also for th<; hundreds of merchant ships which are to be placed under his supervision. John Left the Burning Ford While John R. Green was pouring gasoline in a Ford by | lan'etn light Sunday night the gas caught fire and for a while the section of town south of the railroad was lighted up just | about as well as an up-to-date | electric plant could do the job. The fire alarm was given by neighbors who felt sure that Mr. S. D. Moore's residence, where the automobile Was standing, was on fire. However, when the fire fighting brigade assemb led they were agreeably disappointed to learn that the only visible damage was a Ford with too and seats in a burnt and charred condition, whicn was the extent pt the damage, unless johnnie inured his wind running when the gasoline covered his feet and let fire to that part of his anatony that took bim away from the) mm Willi US much speed as it bumble bees bad set Home. 7 ^ " W* I stajt the 1 By coming ty |fr ina over our stock Jt thing in Hardware^ jS We have jp 2 Cemenf/"Sash aijl ? thing needed {or hui Rubber Roo|? ? ;l ft Q|i=3@E ft ~sl I PagelaiuL j?
