LINDEN STORES CAN'T
SELL SUGAR FOR JAM
New Regulation Prohibits Use For
Jellies And Preserves. And Limits
Amount For Canning

THE sugar situation compels ad-
ditional reduction In consumption, +"
said Charles Hebberd, food admins
traitor for Washington. in a further
restrictive regulation issued to retail
sugar dealers in Lynden this week.
The order says:
Those who have not yet purchas-
ed twenty-five pounds of sugar for
canning purposes may purchase that
amount. but only on a permit from
the county food administrator or his
deputy. Such sugar can be used for
canning purposes only and none can
be sold for use in jams, jellies or
preserves.
mo second purchase permits will
hereafter be used by county food ad-
ministrators. Retail dealers, accord
ing to the new sugar regulations. are
required to keep duplicate lists of
two-pound sales to city consumers
and five-pound sales to country con-
sumers. Such sales cover sugar for
domestic consumption only. Lists
will be forwarded by dealers to .oun
ty food administrators weekly for
checking purposes.
Dealers are expected to sec that no
customer purchases moie than the
m, ximum of three pounds per person
per mouth. The food adT inistrat on
is relying on dealers to help police
sugar consumption.
The necessity for further conger-
walton of sugar may be summed up
in the following. We need the ships
which bring sugar from a distance 10
this country for other purposes. Some
of the countries closest to us from
which we might import have a small
sugar yield this year and our own
domestic sugar crop is smaller than
we expected. Submarines have sunk
ships transporting sugar to this
country"

BIC SHIPMENTS OF VII
PEACHES ARE MADE.

ATLANTA, GA, June 15-Upward
90 cars of the famous Carmen peaches
of Georgia were shipped to market
this week, according to an estimate
given out by the Georgia Fruit Ex-
change, which handles and routes all
shipments from the famous Georgia
peach belt.
The Carmens have been of fair size
and color and their shipping condi-
lions has been excellent, owing to dry
weather. They have met with a strong
market from the very first the price
on the loading platforms being 50 a
crate. Added to previous shipments,
the Carmans have brought the total
movement of the different varieties
we'll above 1000 cars.
The Hileys will get we'll underway
next week. The total movement of this
variety is expected to reach 1000 cars.
They are likewise enjoying a good
strong demand with prices on the plat
form ranging around $3.50 crate.
Much uneasiness is being felt
through the peach belt on account of
the possibility of an ice shortage.
Those in close touch with the situa-
tion state that unless special measures
of relief are taken there will be a
famine in refrigerator cars about the
beginning of the Elberts movement. The
crisis has been recognized by the Food
Administrator for Georgia, and every
thing possible Isl being done by means
of stringent regulations upon the con-
sumption of ice and by appeals to the
people to conserve ice to the utmost.
