ment has called for a report from
several OF the local grocers who have
been selling sugar at 10 cents per
pound.
Grocers Called Up.
Some time ago a ruling was re-
cefved here allowing the retailer to
take advantage Of the odd fraction Of
a cent in all sales. Following this
several local grocers sold two and one
half pounds Of sugar for % cents.
Word Of this reached washington and
the grocers we're called before the To-
cal food administrator and told that
they cannot sell sugar at this price,
as the profit was greater than that
allowed by the government, it was re-
ported at 1Ir. Bassett's office Friday.
Several grocers were before the local
administrator Thursday for alleged
violation OF the profit ruling.
Suggests IS Cent Lots.
At the present price Of sugar 10 Is
believed the grocer VIII have some
difficulty Weighing out the amount
He cannot sell two pounds for 20
cents, as that would be a violation Of
the federal price ruling. and he cannot
sell 20 cents worth. as the amount
would exceed the two pound limit
It was suggested at the office OF
Mr.. Bassett Friday that the best way
out Of it for the grocer is 20 figure
out how much he can sell for is
cents and then sell it in that quantity.

Friday morning. The flour may be
sold on a basis Of six pounds per per
