SUGAR PERMITS

Every grocer in Americus, who eX-
poets to sell more than five pounds OF
sugar to customer, must immediate
ly supply himself with the certificates
required by the food administration.
Failure on the part of the grocer to
have these certificates will be taken
to mean that he has beeh violating
the law by selling over five pounds to
costumer, and it will be up to him
to prove to the contrary. Any grocer
caught violating this sugar law will
be denied the privilege of handling
sugar for the period of the war, and
in extreme cases he will be closed al
together
Instructions were received by tele-
graph early this afternoon by Food
Administrator Franc Mangum to en-
force the sugar law strictly, and
require all grocers ito immediately
supply themselves with certificates, as
provided in circular of April %, so
they may be prepared to sell as the
law provides"
The records of the food administra-

quite a number of grocers who have
not yet furnished themselves with
certificates as yet
1t is believed that this action was
