There is a tendency, due perhaps
TO a misunderstanding, on the part OF
a few people. to blame the grOcers
for the fact that flour cannot be pur-
chased without proportionate
amount of other cereal product being
purchased with it. To some it seems
as if the grocer is trying to sell some
thing the buyer does not want, which
is not the case Your grocer is liable
to a severe penalty if he does not
cooperate with the food administra-
ton. When he tells you he cannot sell
you a sack of -four without selling you
a certain number of pounds of corn
meal, oatmeal, rice, ETC., he is not
trying to take advantage of you, he
is merely meeting the food regula-
tiOns of the government and doing his
best to help win the war by this meth
Cd of conserving wheat. Remember
this. and don't blame the grocer, be-
cause it's your party" just as much
as it is his, and trying to persuade
him to do something he is not permit
ted to do is not conducive to fairness.
