many artistic combinations.

Turns Over Sugar
To Charitable Uses
Halrsscr Is Caught With Large
Quantity in Home-Protiteer
Is Penalixed

After hearing before the local
food administrator yesterday after
noon a citizen. who had been found
TIA have had III pounds of sugar stored
in his home. was required to turn Loo
pounds Of the sugar over to the de-
partment, from which place 1t will be
distributed among local charitable in
stitutions.
The citizen. who is known as hav
ing been a man Of good reputation
and or standing, admitted that he had
the sugar The admission came. how
ever, after officers of the department
had discovered that he had the sugar
on hand. The case was not an agra
vatert ore, and hence. drastic atcIon
was not taken.
Administrator Cary stated yesterday
afternoon that little consideration
would be given hoarders in future. In
this connection he asks the public TO
cooperate with the department. for
by such cooperation the best results
may be gained.
we want the citizen To feel that he
is as much interested in proflteering
and boarding as the government, and
if he knows Of any violations of the
law, 1t is his duty to report 1t to this
office. and Immediate action will be
taken. No patriotic man viii resort
TO either gain for himself to the dis
advantage or cost OF another. nor viii
patriot resort to the mean, con-
temptible habit of boarding.
The government Is trying to pre-
vent such things, and IL can succeed
SO much better with the cooperation
OF the people,
THE. laws against these two forbid
den acts are severe in their penalties.
