At last the Montezuma County Tele-
phone company has furnished it Dolores
subscribers with directories. Now as
soon as we can get in the habit of
calling numbers instead of names we
will save the operator a lot of trouble
and annoyance. However, the habits
of a lifetime are hard to break. The
calling for names in a telephone would
not be so bad if it were not for the
fact that there are so many names that
sound alike when spoken into phone
by some one who has their mouth full
of gum or tobacco. The new directo-
ries are ornamental as well as useful
and are certainly appreciated by the
patrons of the Phone company.
The watch meeting at the Baptist

SUGAR FOR CANNING EASILY
PROCURABLE

The Food Administration is
very anxious that every pound
possible Of fruits and vegetables
be saved to human consumption
through dehydration, cnaning or
preserving.
Dehydration requires no sugar
and with those products that
lend themselves to this form of
conservation. We think this
method should be encouraged.
For those products which are
not readily dried or are more
wholesome canned, we desire to
encourage canning to the utmost,
following the motto, Maximum
canning with minimum sugar.
Preserving Of course requires
definite quantity Of sugar.
Every family is entitled to
purchase Is pounds of sugar for
canning and preserving purposes
upon a certificate which will be
supplied by the regular merchant
Of the purchaser. Additional
quantities of cugar may be secur-
ed upon similar certificates that
are approved by the County Food
Administrator. We have re-
quested all County Food Admin
lstrators to exercise this discre-
ton very literally and to ap-
prove certificates for sugar with
in any reasonable quantities for
canning and preserving purposes.
We have also requested County
Food Adm Illustrators to provide
Home Demonstration Agents
with approved certificates SO that
they may assist the County Food
Administrators in the distribu-
ton of these certificates in their
discretion.
Let US repeat that all the
sugar that is necessary for can
ming and secured upon certifi-
Gates or pledges that are approx
ed and signed by County Food
Administrators.
