CARD SYSTEM FOR
HANDLING SUGAR SALES
GrOcers VIII Furnish Public With
Cards Which They Must Produce
When Purchasing Sugar-In-
teresting Meeting of Food
Dealers Held Last
Night.

One of the most interesting meet
ings of the MaysYille Retail Grocers
| Association held since the organiza-
ton of this association was held last
night when the sugar situation was
discussed with County Food Admins
traitor Cochran and a plan for the
handling of the situation was finally
worked out through which each per-
son will be furnished with card and
they will be sold no sugar without
this card When a purchase is made
the grocer will punch the card and by
the number of punches in each month
the grocers will know exactly how
much sugar each customer has al
ready secured during that month.
The meeting was opened by an ad-
dress by County Food Administrator
Cochran who has just returned from
a conference in Louisville with State
Food Administrator Sackett on the
sugar question. He brought the groc-
ers many suggestions as to the best
manner of handling the situation
]. C. Cablsh swelled the treasury
by reporting the collection of neat
sum in dues from members and three
new members were elected. They
are w. H. Traxel. Arm Brothers and
Henry Bierley.
The proposed card system then
came up for a general discussion and
after talking over the matter for some
time and having it thoroughly eX-
planned to them, the grocers definitely
decided to adopt the plan and a COM
mittee composed of Henry Bierley,
George Dinger, Fred Cablish, William
Heffernan, James A, Wallace and T..
r. Proctor was appointed to plan the
card and the system of distribution
1t is proposed to make this system APP
ply not only to members of the Groc-
ers Association but every grocer in
Maysville and Mason county will be
furnished with the cards and asked to
use them. County Administrator
Cochran pledged the grocers his sup
port in carrying out the proposed
plan.
The committee appointed will hold
meeting this afternoon at o'clock
and the cards will be printed and dis
tributed Immediately so that they can
be in use in the very near future.
The picnic committee which hand
led the Fourth of July party in such
successful manner made a report
and received the thanks of the groc-
ers. They were not dismissed but
were continued and instructed to
plan for an outing on Labor Day
President Cummins appointed Sec
rotary Dodds to have paper for the
next meeting on the first Thursday in
August on the subject, Publicity"
and Mr.. Roy Nauman was also asked
to have a paper on the subject "The
Grocers' Present Day Problems.

STRICT ACCOUNT KEPT OF ALL
SUGAR SALES

A very strict account of all sugar
sales in Mason county stores is be-
ing kept by the County Food Admin
istration and some persons who have
been purchasing their monthly al
lotment at two or three different
stores have already been caught up
with and made return the extra pur-
chases. Persons cannot fool the Food
Administration under the present sys-
TEN and it is much wiser to conform
to the laws than it is to be required
to return an over supply.

CITY PEOPLE ARE LISTING PROP

County Tax Commissioner Brady
announces that the city people are
answering his call that they will list
their property with him for county
and state taxation as early as possible
and every day there are many calling
on him at his office in the county
building at Third and Sutton streets.
Some will likely delay and some may
even forget for instead of the County
Assessor, calling on the taxpayers
this year they are required by law
to call on him.

NO POLITICS IN

ADJUTANT GENERAL MOODY
TELLS OF POLITICAL mac
TIVITIES AT BOISE

When asked in regard to the po-
litical situation, General Moody said ::
II am not here on a political mis-
sion. My business is to provide for
our defense, that and the administra-
ton of the draft takes all of my time
In fact there is very little politics be-
ing talked in Boise, few of the pro-
fessionals are busy forecasting, but
so far as the officials are concerned
they are all too busy giving the state
a wise and economical administration
and the public official who would
spend any of his tine pluming himself
for office would be frowned upon. So
far as l know there have been no
announcements made by candidates in
either party for governor Attorney
General Walters, it is rumored, would
accept the democratic nomination if
rendered him as would D. W. Davis
accept the republican. Being a dem
ocrat I favor the nomination of Walt
ers, but he has not yet declared him
self a candidate. Geo. Walters is
a young man, clean and capable. His
administration of his office has been
of the highest order, as was his posi-
ton on the board of education before

eventually be reached, at the present
moment the center of German intel
lectual activity is in Germany, in the
remote future it will be in America.
Germans only need to grasp the sit

we going to stand idly by and allow
this plan to be carried out? l think

Now that we know that the German
language has been used by the pro-
pagandist as a vehicle for the spread
of Tueton "Kulture," we are justified
in condemning it. If it is true that
the thousands of Germans who have
been in this country many years are
unable to understand English, it is
their own fault and it is time that
they learned the language of their
adopted country.
