Grocers have barely time to eat or
| sleep these days between receiving new
orders from the food administration
and explaining them to their customers.
Nor is the explaining of them the pleas
ATTEST job in the world. Many of those
who wish to buy take it as a personal
affront when the grocer refuses to sell
the larger quantity desired. However,
the dealers are doing their best to live
up the the various orders furnished them
as is evidenced by the fact that but two
violations Of the regulations were found
by V. B. wye who came here represent
ing the Food Administration last week.
Checking Up Purchases
Mr.. WYE came here for the purpose of
! checking up the sales of sugar made by
local merchants. Ever since the last
order limiting each purchase to two
pounds was issued, buyers have been re-
quired to sign for each purchase made.
These signed orders have been turned
over to the County Food Administrator,
Mr.. Chas. Stolz, and he, in turn, handed
them to the state representative who in
checking them up discovered but the
two violations as mentioned above.
Too Much Sugar On Hand
In one instance family had secured
fifty pounds more sugar than is allowed
under any circumstances and in the Sec
ond case more than the allotted amount
of sugar was also found. The first Of
fender was Charles Leonhardt, owner Of
the Machine Works near the Eagle
| Mill, and the second was VIM. Vogel-
pohl. The former was ordered to report
to the State Food Administration in
St. Paul for hearing and the latter
was told to return the excess sugar and
make a contribution to the Red Cross.
Latest Regulations
The following are the regulations last
received by local retailers for the sale
of sugar and it should be carefully noted
by the housekeepers that the old ruling
which allowed 100 pounds of sugar
during the canning season to each
household has been suspended and rs
pounds is now the limit. and the only
way anyone can secure more than this
rs pounds is by making application to
the County Food Administrator, Mr..
Stolz. Nor can anyone buy even rs
pounds from now on without first secur-
ing the approval of the Food Admin
istrator. For instance, if you have
purchased 10 pounds of sugar for use in
canning you can have no more without
applying to Mr.. Stolz for permission
If you already have had rs pounds you
cannot get any more. 1t may be that
conditions may be modified later but at
the. present time this order must be-
strictly obeyed. s.
Only TWO Pounds
Householders are finding it difficult
to understand also that no more than
2 pounds for household daily use can be
purchased at any one time. During
the month a family of six persons may
have Is pounds of sugar to use but the
purchases must be made separate and
distinct times as no retailer is allowed
to sell more than 2 pounds to anyone at
any time except as above stated for can
ming purposes. If you live in the coun-
try you can secure pounds and therefore
a farmers family which consists of 6
persons can buy their allotment of sugar
in trips to the grocery. This includes
all grades of sugar, granulated, lump.
brown or any other kind, and if you buy
2 pounds of brown sugar you must. buy
2 pounds less of cane sugar during the
month.
Keep Track OF Your Purchases
1t is also up to you to keep track of
the number of pounds you have had
during the month and to be careful that
you do not exceed your allotment. The
grocer is not expected to watch out for
your allotments since he turns in his,
certificates every week to the Food Ad-
ministrator and if you forget how much
you have bought and over-buy you are
the one who must. suffer the conse-
quences.
