/ 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

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.

contracts for "several Js/9 Ms" of
the new craft have hee*<^|laced

as half way between a destroyer
and submarine cMaser/ 200.feet

discoveries for. clraibating sub
marines. ,
All parts, 6f ships except the
engines are to be fabricated in
Detroh and the parts shipped to
seaboard, where thev will be as
sembled. 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.
Henry Ford, . president and
princioal owner of the Ford
Company, recently placed before
Secretary Daniels plans
showing the practicability bf
converting a large s part of' his
factory inio a ship fabricating
plant. Naval constructors had

have been approved for enlarging
the Pelham Bay (N. Y.) ?Ttid
Norfolk (Va.) stations. Five
thousand men no.v are at Pelham
Bay and 16,000 at Norfolk.
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
