PLENTY SUGAR IF
LECONSERvE
Rock Island Will Not Suffer From q
Shortage Of Sweet Product Is
Word of Wholesalers.
ASK ALL TO COOPERATE
Merchants are Limited to the Same
Amount Purchased Last Year
Must Sell Likewise.

Rock Island will not suffer from q
shortage of sugar, according to good
authority, as long as the people con-
several small outlying towns will be
hard hit, a famine will not be felt
here. The smaller towns have had Or
ders for the sweet product issued tc
wholesalers for several weeks and de-
lays in rail tieups have made the Sit
uation in these towns critical.
A local wholesaler states that as
long as the grocers and merchants CO.
operate with the government in issu-
ing small amounts of sugar there Will
be plenty for ALL Several local gro
GERS have been compelled to limit the
sale in many cases in order to give all
of their patrons an equal amount.
In complying with government Or
ders grocers are compelled to limit
the sales. None is allowed to sell
over the amount that they sold the
year previous and in most cases much
less. In carrying out this section OF
the law fewer are given chance to
hoard the product. At one time II
was learned that citizens made habi,
of buying from several dealers small
quantity of sugar daily and were stor-
ing the product expectin ga shortage
| This practice, as near as possible, is
being eliminated. Grocers are coop.
Grating with each other in order tC
make the supply for the city last.
! Must Cooperate.
Grocers urge that people cooperate
in keeping the demand for sugar suffi-
| GENTLY low so that the supply might
| be sufficient.
