Conspicuous by Its Absence.
The sugar shortage in Plainville is
evidently getting more acute, for at
the present time there Is none to be
purchased from any Of the local store
keepers, at least, as far as can be
learned.
Business mon state that they find
1t impossible to purchase more than
a small allotment at a time If they
are fortunate to buy any at all. When
a small consignment does arrive 1t Is
sold very carefully to the consumer
and in one pound lots.
Rather than to go without the pre-
cious sweetening residents have been
known to go several miles to return
in ecstasies because of the fact that
they were able to purchase several
ounces OF the commodity. In a few
homes where a supply was on hand
before the scarcity came. the people
are Hooverizing, while 1t Is safe to
say that a large number Of families
have no sugar to use.
