RECORD FUND
IS PASSED BY
CONGRESS
Nearly Thirteen Billions Provided for War
Purposes-No Change is Made in Pres
ent Draft Age--Ihe Five Million Army
Amendment is Rejected,

WASHINGTON The army ap-
preparation bill, carrying $12,OS9,-
100000, the. largest single budget in
the worlds history, passed the senate
without roll call. Much important
legislation was added by the senate,
but no change was made in the pre-
sent army draft age limits.
In disposing of thema neednmtse
In Opposing of the amendments
the senate rejected the amendment
providing specifically to "direct" the
president to raise an army of $780,
900 men as soon as equipment and
transportation could be provided.
Many senators declared the vote
didn't represent opposition of con-
gress to any army of such size and
that sentiment is for great expansion
as soon as the war department plans
permit was the understanding.

PERMISSION TO PURCHASE 100
POUNDS OF SUGAR FOR CAN
MING HAS IT'S DEFINITE LIMI-
TATIONS: .

Owing to a confused understand
ing of the federal food administra-
tons order permitting the purchase
of sugar in 100-pound lots for can
ming and preserving purposes only,
the following rule must be observed.
Sugar may be purchased up to 100
pounds, but the purchases must be
made in twenty-five-pound lots only.
When each twenty-five-pound lot of
sugar is purchased, pledge must be
signed by the purchasers, stating
that the sugar is bought for canning
and preserving purposes only and
that sufficient fruit has been bought
or contracted by the purchaser to
consume the sugar in it's preparation.
This is deemed necessary to distri-
butte the sugar as much as possible
thruout the community.
Following reports that consumers
have duplicated sugar orders to pro-
cure an oversupply, from more than
one grocer, the food administration
has arranged to have a special in
vestigator during the canning season,
and the term of sugar privileges, to
run down all alleged violations of
this order.
This sugar permit will be given
as a special arrangement to take care
of the fruit crops locally, and all
abuses of the privilege will be prose-
cuted to the limit, according to the
policy Of the food administration in
dealing with violators.
