(Continued from page one)

lheir sob James, who is now with the expeditionary forces in France: American Exp. Forces, . June 7, 1918. - bear Folks: I have surely been doing a lot of Continuous traveling the last few weeks, and we got u.yj into the little iplace here yesterday. I have got to see a little of France from the train and .some marches. We see quite a little now, and I fiuppose will see more in a short while a« we will not likely be here long. ° There seems to be a great deal of optimism here, and there is a great deal of confidence on the part of both French and English in the Americans. They are surely glad to see them, too. I have not been able to write meantime, and if you knew things as I do you would realize that it is almost impossible here to write except at times. Conveniences are not always at hand and lots of things prevent it I have not had much time to get lonesome for there is always something to do, and the next few weeks will be very rushing. Time was not dull at any time, and we had three entertainments on the way over. France is a pretty country, particularly northern France; but it has nothing on America, and it’s America for me every time. It gets quite cold here at night. I have not heard froim you yet, but no mail has as yet caught up with us. I hope several of your letters are on the way and that you have received the letters I wrote you. You likely have received the notice 01 my safe arrival. Know that I always think of you and that I will write when I can. Let me know how you are and everything that will be of interest to me. You will be better able to know about how things are with me by reading the papers. With love and best wishes to you and Dell, Lovingly your gon,

Harry Hickman Now a Naval Storekeeper.

Mr. and,Mrs. Aaron Hickman received a double letter a few days ago from their son Harry, who has been serving in Uncle gain’s navy on the U. S. battleship Oklahoma, which we publish below: U. S. S. Oklahoma, June 21, 1918. Dear Mother and Father: Received your letter some fewdays ago and was glad to hear from you and that everybody is well at present. lam in the best of health about all the time. 1 got a letter from Ephriam and Lewis the other day and they said everybody was well there. Well, Ma, the war is Still going on. J don’t know when,, it will ever end, it seems like it never will, but I think one big naval battle will end it all and I will be in that 1 think, at least I want to be. “Nub,” you know-, is sick yet. He is still on the hospital ship. He was getting along fine the last time I saw him. 1 suppose old Rensselaer is quite dead now- that all the young boys have gone away; at that it is not Rensselaer alone for every place in the whole country is the sarne, even the big cities like New- York and Philadelphia, they are all dead too. Did Eva tell you that I had been promoted again? Well I have gone up as high as I can without getting a commission. I am a chief storekeeper in the pay department of the ship. It is not like a storekeeper on the outside. I have charge of twenty-nine big store rooms. They hold about as much as the city of Rensselaer. Where is “Billy” Eigelsbach; is he still in Rensselder? Give my regards to everybody. As there is not much news I will close for this time, with lots of lave to Ma and Pa. and Pa. As ever, your son, HARRY HICKMAN. U. S. S. Oklahoma, c o Postmaster, Fortress Monroe, Virginia. Jupe 28, 1918. • Dear Mother and Father: Just arriving in from sea again so thought I would write again. We had a fine trip this time out, no rough weather to contend with and everything went fine. This is about the first time that it has gone that way. We most generally have a bad trip of it. We are doing lots of drilling now, keeping prepared for action at any time. 1 don’t know when we will get it for you never can tell. How is everybody around town getting along, same as ever I suppose. Earl Hemphill is back on the ship. He is alright now and working with

me in the ship's store rooms. You know I have twenty-nine of them to take care of and it’s a big job. 1 have thirteen helpers now. We handle about everything that is made, from a carpet tack to a "14’’ gun. I got a letter from Lewis about a week ago, but I have not answered it yet, but will tomorrow I think if I get time. Ephriam wanted one of those pictures but I haven’t any more. I will send him one as soon as I can. I wrote to Don Warrem’s sister to get nis address. I haven’t heard from him for three years now. Is Billy Eigelsbach still there? If so, tell him that I ’will write as soon as I can. Well, Ma, there isn’t much to write about right now, so I will close for this time. With love, Your son,

Former Linotype Operator Not Fond of Ocean Trip.

P. Z. MacDonald of Brook, wlio was. employed for a short time a few years ago as linotype operator on The Democrat and later was employed in the same capacity on the Kentland Enterprise, writ* s an interesting letter from France to the editor of the Enterprise, which we copy: France, June C, 1918. Dear Friend:—For the past two mohths I have put off writing to you thinking I could write something of interest, and now that I might be able to do so, we are not allowed to mention things, which might possibly be so. But I will do the best I can under the circumstances. I wrote you of my leaving Ohio, and after a very short stay at our port of embarkation we bid farewell to “God’s Country” and for several of the longest days I ever spent saw nothing but a few streamers of smoke on the horizon and quite a number of fish, but none, such as some of the fellows saw. ( ? i What I cannot understand is why so many people ‘-rave’’ about ocean trips. Be'ieve me, old terra firma is good enough for me no, I wash t sick, either —but it is not the most beautiful scenery to see nothing but water for several days. And when the coast of France showed up there wasn't enough men on board to keep me below, and.it would take several Kentlands to exceed the number we had on board. We reached the port of debarkation in the aftecnoon and were lucky to be among the first to go ashore, and saw our first French town which was built —as all others are in France- —entirely of stone.

After reaching our camp, which, by the way, is one if not the oldest of any in France, and was one of Napoleon’s headquarters, surrounded by a stone wall, and it is claimed that a part of this was built by Caesar. After a five-days rest we were put on board trains and had three days and nights of it, passing through some of the most beautiful country in the world. I will give but a brief description of rt as it would, to do it justice, fill a good-sized book. There are no wire fences here, all being built of stone, dirt or walls, with lots Of hedge, anti it is very seldom a field contains more than a very few acres, so you can imagine the amount of labor expended to build them. But it is the same in everything—built to stand 'permanently. The roads here are all of stone, even lanes, etc. You have good roads in Newton county, but these put them to shame. But as. this is a rocky country they can be explained. 1 had expected to see quite a change in the soils, vegetation and crops grown here also, but there is not much change. But the strangest of all was I never saw a corn stalk on my trip.

After arriving at my present address we were put promptly at work getting our barracks in order, and now for another good word for the Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross, as well as for the Salvation Army. Several times on our three days' trip we would get off and find a sign reading “American Red Cross.’’ I’ll tell you it was good for sore eyes, and at all of these coffee with something to go with it was given to"us, with real American wcnen tb look at. Support the Red Cross, it is worthy of all that can be said or done for it. Twenty-four hours after reaching here a Y. M. C. A. Ford pulled into camo with books, papers and smokes for us. I never realized what the “Y” amo mi ted to till I arrived in France. At the Salvation Army hunt, which we soon found after getting here, and under control of ladies, we can get that which will always make me have a warm feeling for them. Real pie. coffee, cocoa and cookies can be had at prices which are, it seems to me, hardly enough to nay for transportation of material for them. But I must close this or the censor will not pass it and I could not much blaime him. for I know he has his hands full all the time. I almost forget to mention that scarcely were we off the boat till a little fellow came up to us "who knew but these few words of English. “Paper? Chicago Tribune and New York -Herald, three cents!” It is -needless to say that he did a good business while the papers lasted. But the difference in the size of the paper-—C. T. was a single sheet. We do not hear as much of the war as you people do, although we get our paper daily from Paris. Here we have airships instead ,of autos; they are so common we hardly notice them, and there is a strange rumbling of the earth and noises in the air, but we do not mind- that. ■ I must close. Have not received a letter for over a month, and I alm homesick for a letter. Let me hear from you, also send The Enterprise. Your friend,

P. Z. MacDONALD.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

OFFICIAL FOOD NEWS

By Dr. Harry E. Barnard, Federal

Food Administrator for Indiana.

Beginning July 1, Indiana goer on k strict sugar ration. In addition to statements of quantities of sugar on hand, dealers and manufacturers using or handling this commodity, will be required to give detailed information concerning their requirements, and subject themselves to still further radical restrictions in the consumption of sugar for the months of July, August and September. To expedite the distribution of sugar, all of which under the new regulations comes under the jurisdiction of the federal food administrator, J. E. Larger, head of the sugar division, in the office of Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, has prepared a classification supplementing that effective heretofore, and will require all distribution hereafter (except that for household consumption) to be on a certificate basis. The classification is as follows: A. Candy makers, soft drinks, soda fountains, chewing gum, chocolate and cocoa manufacturers, tobacco manufacturers, flavoring extracts, invert sugar, syrups, sweet pickles, wines, etc. These must show the amount of sugar used during the months of July, August and September, 1917, and certificates issued to them, if the statements are found correct, will be based upon s<> per cent, of such average use. Ice cream makers will be entitled to 75 per cent. Certificates will be issued separately for each month's supply. B. Commercial canners. These will be given certificates for their necessary requirements, but any resale of sugar by them except under the express direction of the local food administrator, will constitute a violation of the regulations, and subject them to closing of business for the period of the war. Any sugar on hand at the end of the season must be placed at the disposal of the food administrator. A special appeal is made to this group to economize in every possible direction. C. Hotels, restaurants, public eating houses (serving twenty-five or more persons». These will receive certificates on the basis- of three pounds for each ninety meals served. D. Bakers.

HARRY.

These will receive certificates for 70 per cent, of the average amount used during July. August and September. 1917. or alternatively, 70 per cent, of that used during June, 1918. E. Retail Stores. These will receive for July purchases. certificates based upon the average of sugar sold during the combined three months of April, May and June. 1918. Retailers must not sell sugar to any of the other, groups; that is, to none except householders, with out taking up the certificates of such purchases. Sales to town customers are limited to 2 pounds, and country customers to 5 pounds. The retailer is admonished not to sell more than 3 pounds per person per month to householders, whose co-operation with the retailer is earnestly sought. Retailers mar. as at present, sell 25 pounds of sugar te any one household for home canning. upon the householder certifying. that he has not bought elsewhere, and his agreement to return any balance not used for canning purposes. Householders. on certificate. may obtain more than 25 pounds, for home canning where need is shown, but in no instance will a sale of more than 100 pounds for home canning purpose b* permitted without the approval of the local food administrator. No wholesaler or refiner will be permitted to sell any sugar whatsoever except on the certificate basis. Any persorJin any of the above five groups, who does not file his statement promptly, will not be permitted to buy sugar for the period of the war. arid action will at once be taken against any sugar he may have on hand in excess of SO days’ supply, and he will be charged with hoarding. No firm will be permitted a stock in excess of a 3 months’ supply on the basis outlined above. Any stock in excess of 30 days' supply; bnt less than 90 days’ supply must be held subject to the local food administrator, lor distribution if necessary, depending remoteness from the source of supply. The food administration will construe any attempts by dealers and manufacturers to lay up a supply, as hoarding, and upon conviction, this offense is punishable by fine and imprisonment. “While in law the same rule might be applied to householders, the food administration proposes to rest upon the honor and co-operation of the householder not to hold more than a 30 days’ supply, upon the basis of 3 pounds per person in the household." said Dr. Barnard.

In explanation of the more stringent regulations of the sugar supply and. its distribution. Dr. Barnard said: “A number of causes hare cumulated to make our sugar position more difficult than we could t-ave anticipated at the beginning of the year. .The increased shipping needed by our growing Army in France has necessitated the curtailment of sugar transportation. particularly from the longer voyage, and Las thus reduced supplies both to the allies and; ourselves from remote markets. Some of the accessible sugar producing areas have proved a less yield than was anticipated, such as certain West Indian Islands. The domestic beet and Louisiana crops have fallen below anticipation. There has been some destruction of beet sugar factories in the battle area of France and Italy. We have lost considerable sugar by submarines. ••As..:,cl.ose_.a.n, estimate as we can .make, indicates a reasonable expectation from all sources of about 1.600,000 tons, of sugar for I‘nited States consumption during the last half of the present year. This is based upon the maintenance of the present meager allied ration. An improvement in ■hipping conditions would, of course, relieve this situation, as quantities of sugar are in unavailable markets. We must, however. base the djinilni Ifflfof sugar during the next six months!’ upon the above footing. After that period, the new West Indian crop will be available. “This supply of 1,600.000 tons necessitates a considerable reduction in our consumption. 'To provide three pounds of sugar per month per person for household use, to take care of our army and jiavy, and to provide for the necessary preservation of fruit, milk. etc., will require a£>out 1.600.000 tons of suga*- for the six months. A household consump»’on of 3 pounds per month per person, together with the special allowance for home canning, means a reduction of some 25 per. cent, in these branches of consumption from normal, bat it is still nearly double the ration in the allied countries and is ample for every ■cnnomical use."
