Modification of Sugar Rules Order
During Canning.
: State Food Administrator F.. F..
Laid yesterday issued the September
sugar regulations. Among them he
says that while farmers may have but
two pounds per person per month,
they may get a thirty day supply.
Cook cars, as we'll as restaurants and
hotels serving more than 25 people
a day must get a certificate from the
office at Fargo.
The changes are made in the rul-
ings that sugar may be available for
canning as it is thought that great
loss would result if this were
neglected.
In his order DR.. Ladd also states
that it is permissible for a person to
get sugar anywhere in the state, If he
can get a permit in duplicate, after
he has signed the first permit, but
must have the dealer from whom he
got the first supply cancel the first
permit.

Under a recent ruling Of the

must be made at the source. In eff
feet, this means that all line con-
Germs such as, for instance, lumber
companies, will have to make their
that districts in which their branches
are located will not be credited with

apolis lumbermen have taken the
matter up with bankers of that city

the situation.
The matter was also called to the
attention of Mr.. Bassett and w. c.
Mcdowell, chairmen. respectively, of
the South and North Dakota Liberty
Loan committees, and the lumber
men said they would insist upon
placing one-third of the purchases in
the districts where they are doing
business.
1t is evident that the treasury de-
partment's ruling will have a quite
important bearing upon the local
situation. This is realized more
plainly when it is recalled that sew
eral large concerns, with branches
here, purchased thousands Of dollars
worth Of bonds here in previous cam
paigns. One oncer alone invested

was made to the Grand Forks dis
