The something that money cannot
buy in Gardiner is sugar Occasionally
a fortunate grocer will have barrel
delivered. Immediately The story is
spread and the quantity that the NOR
chant has is multiplied manifold.
When a merchant has a small LOT he
reserves it for the regular customers
which appears right and proper. The
man that has no regular trading place
but buys here and there is usually
su9arless. The surprising part is how
sweet everybody is about the lack of
sweetness.

In England, when the war broke

America can afford to go slow. She
can keep az home her existing air

not dependent on quantity only. Fifty
