has received an order for 100 pounds Of
sugar from an Atlantic city hotel which
ordinarily would buy sugar by the barrel
in Atlantic city. This order demonstrates
two things it was said. one is that the
hotel man couldn't get sugar in Atlantic
City at all and the other was that he
realized that the small pittanCe Of 100
pounds was all he could hope to get The
dealer added that he wouldn't get that
much
There is a side TO the sugar shortage
that has escaped general notice and that is
It comes just before Christmas, the time
when the demand for sugar for candy
making is always the greatest in every
part of the country. There are three sugar

that not a pound can be obtained from any
