The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-09-05

heading will continue on the Is per
cent basis for September. The certi-
fcates for August have in great
many cases been delayed in going out,
but we expect to have the September
certificates in the mail in another
week.
Statement B.
Manufacturers under this heading,
making drugs, curing meats, COM
mercial packers of fruits and vege-
tables, etc, will all be on requirement
basis and certificates will be mailed
them before the 1st of September.
Statement C.
Hotels, restaurants, boarding houses
hospitals and so on under this heading,
will continue for September on the 2
pound for 90 meals basis same as in
August and their certificates are now
being prepared.
Statement d.
All bakers under this heading viii
continue on the 70 per cent basis for
next month. There will be no delay
in issuing their certificates which are
now preparing and which we hope to
have in the mail by the 26th of August
Statement E.
Retail grocers we find have over-es-
timated their requirements even on
the 8 ID. basis. There are about
2,250,OO people in Minnesota, which
on the 8 lb. basis would allow $780,
600 lbs. Of sugar per month. The
Statement E submitted here, however,
total over 5000, 900 pounds. We have
issued the sugar certificates for Aug
ust on this basis, which of course
should give surplus of sugar to the
retailers. The September certificates
for Statement E group will be reduced
one-third and this will give them
slightly more than 2 pounds basis.
Their certificates will be issued and
put in the mail before the last of this
month, so that all retailers should
have their September certificates be
fore the LIST Of September. Sales OF
sugar at retail for household purposes
during September will continue on the
basis of 2 pounds per person per
month, no more than 2 lbs. to be sold
at one time to family in town and no
more than s lbs. at one time to a
family in the country.
Sugar for Gaming:
We are anxious that no fruit be al
lowed to spoil or go to waste because
of lack of sugar and while we urge the
canning of fruits and berries with a
minimum amount Of sugar or even
with no sugar, still we feel we have
provided enough sugar in August to
take care of all legitimate needs. We
will allow the sale of sugar in Sept
for Home Canning and preserving on
the basis of an additional 5 lbs. per
capita. This will make the total cam
ming allowance 15 lbs. per capita up to
September 30th, which should allow
not only sufficient sugar, but will be
more in majority of cases than peo-
pie will. actually need and viii use and
of course we do not want any sugar
wasted.
Canning Certificates and Reports:
Use the new September form for
canning certificates. Use the same
grocer's weekly report as in August.
The canning certificates are kept until
Monday or Tuesday Of the week fol-
lowing and then listed and reported to
the County Administrator. The report
will be o. KID by him, mailed to tlne
Sugar Div. at the University Farm, St.
Paul, and sugar distribution certi-
icates will he issued and mailed di-
rect to the retailers. The retail grocer
should make this weekly report in
duplicate and retain one 'cepy for his
