Airplane Visits McCrory
Last Monday the report was
given out that on Tuesday at
11 o’clock, an airplane from
the Millington, Tenn., Field,
would fly over the city and
from here to Augusta. The
purpose of the visit was to stir
the patriotism of the Woodruff
County folk and arouse the
fighting spirit that so clearly
characterizes the loyal and pa
triotic American people.
The people were given some
what to a sense of keen dis
appointment when about 10 :30
o’clock a rumor spread about,
stating that the airplane had
taken a different route and
would not visit us. But about
12 o’clock this spirit of disap
pointment was banished and
the people were filled with de
light and admiration for the
bells began to ring and over
the eastern horizon the huge
dragon fly appeared.
The plane, floating gently,
on the April breeze, which was
blowing a steady 20 mile gale,
reminded one of a huge lawn
mower, temporarily rid of its
momentum and gone wild,
clipping immaginary grasses
from off the face of the sky, as
it circled over the town drop
ping Liberty Loan literature
hither and thither.
When the plane had reach
ed the outskirts of town, it be
gan to swoop down like an
American Eagle bent upon a
fierce determination to destroy
everything in its path. It came
so low that the number could
be easily seen and the pilot,
Lieut. C. R. Hoffman and in
structor, W. S. Brock, were
plainly discernible.
After circling the town for
about ten minutes, the plane
pointed its nose skyward and
rose majestically and the
whirr of the propeller and the
hum of the motor told that the
visit was at an end and left the
people filled with awe and ad
miration.
The plane also visited the
towns of Wynne, Augusta,
Brinkley and Holly Grove.

NOTICE
To The People of Arkansas:
Governor Charles H. Brough
has very appropriately set
aside the week of April 15 to
22 as a week of prayer, when
the citizens of Arkansas are
asked to draw closer to the
all powerful, loving and for
giving God of Israel and ask
his blessings and support for
our nation in this great war.
In addition to that sacred
period, which should be ob
served by every man, woman
and child in Arkansas, let us
make it a week of genuine sac
rifice.
The people of Arkansas are
writing a wonderful record for
patriotism into the pages of
history now being made. Let
us continue this great work for
our government. From April
15 to 22 let each one of us re
frain from eating any food
product containing wheat flour
|Our government has asked us
to limit our consumption of
iflor to one and one half lbs.
per person per week. If every
citizen of Arkansas will elimi
nate wheat flour from food in
this week specified, it will
mean a saving of 3,000,000
pounds of flour. That means
60,000 barrels, which would
mean in turn two trains of 25
cars each to haul.
The people of Arkansas
have thus far made it possible
for the government to realize
over 150 cars of flour.
This is a record that no other
state in the union has accom
plished. Arkansas is far in
the lead of other common
wealths in this and other ef
forts.
The flour returned will ena
ble our government to realize
a proportionate amount for
our soldiers and those associat
ed with us in the war. That
flour will be shipped in the
name of the great State of Ark
ansas. Will you not join me
in this pledge which the Ozark
Methodist Sunday School re
cently announced, unsolicited,
they would keep.
Eliminate flour that week
and you will be rendering the
government a distinct and val
uable service.

Federal Food Admr. for Ark.

Don’t Let It Linger
A cough that “hangs on”
wears down the sufferer, leav

sickness. Jos. Gillard, 148,

a dry hacking cough and a
pain in my chest, but since

cures. Red Cross Drug Store,
