NEW SUGAR RULES EFFECT MERCHANTS OF THIS DISTRICTS

New plans, effective May 15, for the rationing of Arizona manufactur- CTS using sugar. and affecting the bus mess of all Warren district merchants who use sugar for the making of candy, ice cream or other similar sweets, have been announced by the state food administration. The plans have been worked out by the United States food administration with the greatest possible care and with the desire to disturb business as little as possible consistent with the attain ment of the conservation of sugar, which is vitally needed at this time for manning purposes.
 Under this plan, both the manufac- turers of the essential food products and those of less essential food prod ucts, with the exception of public eating places and bakeries, are classed in Arizona, the program will effect, particularly, all drug stores and soda water dispensers making their own syrups and soda water manufac- turers.
 No Cards; No Sugar
 No Arizona manufacturers using su- gar for manufacturing will be per mitted after May I5 to purchase sugar without surrender of an authorized sugar distribution certificate issued by the federal food administration for Arizona through the county food ad- ministrators.
 Where a company has several man. ufacturing plants located in different states. 1t will be necessary for that company to file a statement with the food administrator of each state in which its plants may be located. Each administrator will take care of the plants owned within or without the state. This, however, does not pre- vent the sellers of sugar located in one state from making deliveries in another on receipt of a certificate. Manufacturers may obtain certificates upon delivery of the required sworn statement which shows the amount of sugar to which he is entitled.
 Wholesalers Notified
 All wholesalers and retailers have been notified that they must not sell sugar after May 15 to any manufac- turer using sugar unless the manufac- turer delivers the necessary certifi- cate. Refiners and sugar brokers have been notified to the same effect. Con- tracts prior to May 15 may be filled by sellers of sugar without surrender of certificates, but no contracts made after May 15 shall be filled unless the buyer delivers the requisite certifi- cate.
 Manufacturers may obtain state ment blanks and certificates over the state from their respective county food administrators, their names and ad dresses being as follows:
 Gustav Becker, Springerville, for Apache county; Robert Rae, Douglas for Ccchise; Alex. A. Johnson, Flag staff. for CoconinO; B. V. von Senden Globe, for Gila: R. K. Minson, Clifton for Greenlee; T. T. Swift Stafford for Mohaye; Guy E. Cornelius, Winslow for Navajo; A. B. Ming. Yuma, fol Yuma county; H. D. Aitkin, Prescott for Yavapai; Leslie c. Hardy; No gales, for Santa Cruz; L. H. Hofmeis ter, Tucson for Pima; w. E. Mullen Ray, for Pinal For Maricopa county they should apply to the federal food administration at Phoenix.
 The certificates are being printed in the denominations of from 5C pounds to 60,000 pounds. They arc engraved after the manner of banl notes and are non-transferable. The food administration hopes to be able to provide manufacturers sufficient quantities of sugar to prevent further curtailment of their business but con ditions after July l will determine what can be done.
 Ice cream manufacturers have beer allotted 100 per cent of their require ments but no sugar is to be used il the manufacture of ices and sherbets The reason ice cream manufacturers are given 100 per cent is to help tho dairy interests to take care of tho surplus of milk during the summer Manufacturers affected by the ruling include preservers and packers o vegetables, catsup and chile sauce fruit and milk; manufacturers oi candy, confections, jelly and pre- serves; meat packers, ice cream man lecturers, druggists, honey producer; and manufacturers of condiments anC soda water.
