 Manufacturers using sugar for the making of products they sell. whether .it be the essential or the less essen tiaI articles, are finding that those Who drew up the new rationing plan Tor the purchase Of sugar threw safeguard around sugar that is cer- tam to bring about a saving.
 Heretofore 1t was comparatively easy for those who used sugar in their manufacturing business to buy all they wanted of that product. Things are different now. No store. whether it be wholesale or retail. is permitted to cell manufacturers using sugar a supply of that product unless said manufacturer presents the off clal sugar purchasing certificate, which must be signed by Hamp Vii. Hams, federal food administrator for Arkansas
 It is against the law and subjects one to seyera penalty to sell to any manufactures using sugar without that official permit Both the man who buys and the one who made the sale. unless the official certificate is obtained, will be in danger of having Itheir business closed during the re- mainder of the war
 | "lf there are any in Hot Springs who come under the new sugar ra- toning plan" said Mir Williams, "who have not applied for the offical sugar certificate. they should communicate with my office in Little Rock imme- dlately They will receive in return the official statement. which must be filled out and sworn to. From that we base the amount Of sugar they are entitled to. The new plan has mate rially reduced the amount of sugar tC those manufacturers Of the less essen ttal products who during the past six months have gone over the 80 per cent of what they used for the same period last year"
