Candy Shops, Soda Water
Counters and Bakeries
Hard Hit by Neglect of
Owners to Obey Orders
MUST HAVE CARDS TO
PURCHASE NEW SUPPLY
Time For Filing Needs Is
Past; Wholesalers Will
Not Sell Without Order
From Federal Agents

Indications are that scores of small
manufacturers whose products con-
sist of soft drinks, preserves, drugs,
soda water, cocoa and chocolate,
canned goods. ice cream and other
products in whose manufacture
sugar is used. will be forced to sus-
pend operations within a few weeks,
through their failure to make GU.
sugar certificates before midnight of
Monday last, as ordered by the coun-
ty food administration.
Only 116. of these manufacturers
in Harrisburg and Dauphin county
who use sugar in their products will
be entitled to purchase their usual
sugar supplies after July /, accord
ing to the ruling of the state food
administration, which will be en-
forced by the Dauphin county ad-
ministration. 1t is estimated that
this is only half the number of GER
tificates which should have been filed
in this city alone.
Has No Redress
When the manufacturer made out
his certificate showing his supplies,
requirements and amounts ordered,
he was given a sugar purchase GER
tihcate by the food administration.
This sugar purchase certificate, stat
ing the amount he is allowed by this
local administration, is the only
means by which he can secure sugar
from the wholesaler. The 116 per-
sons who made their returns before
Monday last are the only ones in
Dauphin county who now possess the
purchase certificates.
The manufacturers who now order
sugar for use in July and are not
supplied by the wholesalers because
of their inability to show a food ad-
mtnistration sugar purchase certiti-
cate, can do nothing but await
further ruling from the state ad-
ministration. The local administra-
ton has no information regarding
the procedure to be followed in the
future, other than that the supplies
10 the negligent manufacturers is
cut off. By an order from the state
administrator received by telegram.
the local administration will have
the manufacturers who did not make
out certificates in time file the GEL
uficates now, and they will be for
warded to Philadelphia to the state
administration. A strict order not
to issue sugar purchase certificates
to these manufacturers, however,
was received.
Two manufacturers called at the
food administration office in the
Dauphin building this morning and
said they knew nothing of the rul-
ing that they had to sign their GER
tlticates and return them by last
Monday. When they were informed
that the only publicity given to tha
activities of the food administration

them said that he does not read the

PACIFISM TO BE
HIT AT BIG RALLY
SATURDAY NIGHT
Stirring Meeting Is Scheduled
For Capitol Under Auspices
of League to Enforce Peace

DR.. J. T. Rothrock, former state
forestry commissioner, who is secre.
tary of the Pennsylvania branch OF
the great League to Enforce Peace
is in the city arranging for a popu-
lar meeting in the hall of the House
of Representatives next Saturday
evening. This organization with
eX-President Taft at the head, has
two fundamental purposes-to make
the world safe by the defeat of Ger
many and German militarism and to
keep the world safe by a league OF
nations.
Philadelphia was surprised, awak-
ened, and taken by storm on May 16
and II. Almost four thousand dele
gates gathered to give definite eX-
preston to their belief that we must
crush the Hun, win the war and
make peace permanent by a league
of nations. They represent every por-
ton of the country.
From start to finish each speaker
bore witness to the fact that we
were a united people, purged of pa
cifism, and ready to do our part in
removing the peril of Kaiserism from
the world.
DIR. Rothrock said to-day: "The
spirit of that convention has spread.
1t is in the atmosphere everywhere
now, and its presence is recognized
in the clearer ring of patriotic cX-
preston
"One of the immediate results
will be a patriotic rally in Harrisburg
on the evening of June Is (Satur-
day., in the hall of the House of
representatives, to reaffirm our alle-
glance to the government and to
impress upon every one, everywhere,
that we will accept no inconclusive
peace, which would be merely q
prelude to another, and more ter
rible struggle.
Once for all the question must be
settled whether or not Prussian mill
tarism is to rule the world, No tu-
ture time can be so favorable as now.
Let us make a finish IF it. Come
out to the meeting at p. m. on Sat
urday evening"
Rev. DR.. George Edward Hawes.
pastor of the Market Square Presby-
terian Church, with prayer and the
Rt Rev. James Henry Darlington,
Bishop of the Harrisburg Diocese,
will preside.
Everyone will. be welcome and
there will be no tickets or collec-
ton. Simply food of patriotism
to overflow in other directions and
to give more backing to the govern
ment," said a member of the COM
mittee.

"T'hc effort to force publishers to
