alone spare it to them. By saving Just a little
less than quarter Of what ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles And we
can do 1t without stntlng ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just good.
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of need It has given in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs. All we have to do is to

rious cities of the state In some CT
ties 2 or 3 per cent is added for credit,
while in others 2 or 3 per cent dis
count is allowed for cash over the
counter. Milwaukee has adopted the
plan of allowing per cent discount
for cash to avoid irritation which has
resulted in some places from charge
for credit.
What Constitutes Cash?
AS soon as the system is contemplate
ed many simple but perplexing ques-
tions come up. What constitutes cash?
Cash over the counter is certainly cash
But what about the man who pays his
bill every Saturday night after he
himself has been paid p Or every two
weeks? Is that cash? The grocer
can count it cash in paying his month
ly bills. Is the object of chargins for
credit to save the cost of bookkeep-
er, or to relieve the dealer from the ne
cessity of carrying slow pay custom
ers along for months? Will a charge
for credit eliminate a bookkeeper in
the average store?
An interesting question has come in
connection with butter delivery In
some cities dealers have butter routes
If cents is charged for delivery and
a housewife buys pound at so cents,
her butter costs her 55 cents pound.
Her next door neighbor buys in 4
pound lots, pays cents a delivery,
and her butter costs her 81 cents
pound.
The establishment of delivery zones
has also been contemplated to approx
innate the delivery charge to the &C
tual cost, so that the woman who or
ders yeast cake to be delivered to the
city limits will be obliged to pay the
actual cost of the delivery.
All these problems will be taken up
at the conference The object will be
to get to the bottom of them, to get
the experiences from the various coun-
ties and dealers, and to discuss them
from all aspects bringing out the ad-
vantages and disadvantages.

PLENTY OF SUGAR FOR
CANNING THIS SUMMER

There will be plenty of sugar this
summer to care for canning operations
of all clubs and housewives, according
to assurance given Tuesday by DR.. An
drew NJ. Soule, federal food administra-
tor for Georgia.
81 have had quite large number of
inquiries lately" said DR.. Soule, from
people who are wondering if they will
be allowed to purchase sufficient quanti-
ties of sugar for preserving and can
ming purposes. We want to assure them
that ample provision will be made, in
due time, to take care Of their needs.
1T is gratifying, too, that so many
people are doing the proper thing. max
ing inquiry of the food administration.
to get themselves clear on point which
is Of much Importance to them, rather
than undertaking to work it out them
selves by trying to gradually build up
an accumulation in their pantries. Some
cases of that kind have come to light.
cases in which people have begun to
make frequent. repeated purchases of
sugar UP to the individual sale limit,
whether they need it or not in order
that they might he able to lay aside a
little on each purchase to have on hand
for preserving.
1.-THE machinery for taking care of the
canning and preserving necessities has
not yet teen announced, but will be in
ample time for the preserving season,
and there is no reason, at this time, for
anybody to become unduly apprehen-
sive."

FLOUR SUPPLY AMPLE
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS
Food Administrations Invent
cries to Be Used as Basis
for Even Distribution

According to announcement made
Tuesday at the executive offices of the
federal food administration, between
80, 900 and 1000 flour inventories have
been received, showing that there is
sufficient flour in Georgia to meet all
demands for several months, provided
the rule permitting six pounds per
month to a person is observed.
Because of the fact that no flour is
being shipped into Georgia from mills
outside the state, DR.. Soule is planning
to bring about an even distribution by
diverting flour from heavily loaded
communities to those where the sup
ply is about exhausted.
Vigorous steps are being taken to pre-
vent boarding, which is covered in the
following clause from the food control
act:
That any person who wilfully
boards any necessaries shall, upon con-
viction thereof, be fined not exceeding
$1,000 or be imprisoned for not more
than two years, or both. Necessaries
shall be deemed to be boarded within
the meaning of this act when either
held or contracted for, or arranged for
by any person in a quantity in excess
of his reasonable requirements treason
able requirement has subsequently
been construed to be a supply not eX-
ceeding the needs of 80 days, and more
subsequently, on a basis of six pounds
per person per month"; for use and
consumption by himself and dependents
for a reasonable time; held, contracted
for or arranged for by any manufactur-
er. wholesaler, retailer or other dealer
in n quantity in excess of the reason
able requirements of his business for
use or sale by him for reasonable
time (also subsequently held to be thir-
t. days.. or reasonably required to fur
nish necessaries produced in surplus
quantities seasOnally throughout the
period of scant or no production; or
withheld. whether by possession or un-
der any contract or arrangements, from
the market by any person for the pur-
pose of unreasonable increasing or di-
minishing the price"
Several reports have come Dr..
Soule's office of individuals who have
declared they WIFI not report excess
flour they have on hand because Of
fear that the government will take it
away" Such individuals come clearly
within the meaning of the anti-hoard-
ing act and will be so handled. At the
same time il is to be just as clearly
understood that the government has
not and will not deprive any individual
or enterprise or firm of any commodi-
ties legally within his or their posses
sion.

GOOD, SENSIBLE ADVICE

Dear Mrs Thomas: There are so
many gifted writer's who contribute to
your page, l hate to ask for space for
my little say. 1 certainly enjoy the
letters-and you always write such
charming words.
I must say a few words on economy.
This dreadful world-war has brought
the necessity Of economizing in every
thing especially foodstuffs. The per-
sons, be it men or women, who will not
save food to the very best iof their
ability are not only slackers in their
duty to their country, but to their own
and their ne1ghbors' children. The food
we save may be the means OF saving
some boys life, and that boy might be
yours. Eat more corn meal less wheat,
can and dry more fruit and vegetables,
eat less meat, go to the field If need
be: patch up your old clothes, quit talk
ing about the president and bemeaning
him. DO your best and not your bit
to bring this war to an early end. Ex-
travagance and wastfulnesS have
brought poverty to many American
homes. While I do not think it dis
grace to be poor, for I belong to that
class myself, it is the duty of all
parents to teach their children economy
as we'll as practice it themselves, and
then when old age or misfortune over
take them, they will not be at the mercy
of their friends. In the very poorest
homes they never eat leftovers and
must have their Coffee snuff and to-
bacco. These 1 find altogether unneces-
sary in my home
We have had for 10, these many years
our boys at home, freedom of speech,
freedom of the press, freedom of the
seas. and all good things, and we want
them back again. So keep ever in your
mind these little words, work, Save
and Win"
