Moved To Picayune

Sheriff NJ. D. Tate has moved
his family to Picayune where
they are domiciled in the eIe-
CANT, new Hotel Tate. This step
was made necessary by the re-
turn to Meridian of the manager,
Mr.. Ira Thorn, to take charge of
the Union Hotel, and Mr.. Tate s
inability to immediately secure
another manager.
The loss of this estimable fam
lily from the community life of
Poplarville is deeply regretted !,
and we trust that matters at
Picayune may soon be ad justed
50 that the family can return to
their lovely bungalow home here.

To the People of Pearl
River County

The merchants of Pearl River
County, IN regular meetings at
Poplarville and Picayune Tues
day, upon instructions from p.
M, Harding, Federal Food Ad-
mlnlstrator of Mississippi, voted
to raise the EN- barge on flour.
Our merchants in taking this ac-
ton to put the EN- bcrgo on flour
for Pearl River County followed
the suggestion of the United
States Food Administration and
thereby Pearl River was one of
the first counties in the State to
go on record, cutting out flour.
FLOUR REGULATIONS
Flour will now be distributed
under the same restrictions as
previous 10 June LIST. These
rules are:
1st-6 lbs per mem Der per
family per month, II lbs of $3.50
2nd-That equal amount of GER
calls must be purchased at.
time of purchase of flour, unless
Miller's certificate is presented.
3rd-That Mondays and We'd
nesdays are absolutely wheat
less, nothing containing wheat
can be sold on these days.
SUGAR REGULATIONS
1st-No sugar can be bong ht
by merchants, hotels, restau-
rants. soda water dispensers, etc.
except upon certificate from
Food Administration.
2nd-3 lbs of sugar month is
the limit for each individual.
Sales of 2 lbs in town and 5 lbs /.
in the country is the quantity to
be sold at one time.
3rd-For canning and preserv-
ing purposes % lbs may be sold.
The purchaser IS required to
sign Certificate stating this SUI
gar is for canning and preserv-
ing and agreeing to return any
not used for said purpose. Only
% lbs can be bought within 30
days, except upon recon mend =
alton of Food Administration.
Every merchant is required to
keep a record of all sales and of
sugar showing the name, date
and the amount. Said lists of
purchasers are to be reported
monthly to the Food Admins
TRAITOR.
All citizens trading at more
than one store are urged to make
note of date and amount of flour
and sugar purchased so that the
maximum limit of flour and SUI
gar will not be exceeded. Re
memb Der the lbs of flour and
the 3 lbs of sugar a month per
person is the maximum amount.
l believe a great many OF the
people of Pearl River County
can and will do on considerably
Tess.
Remem Der there is still great
need for saving food, flour, meat,
sugar and fats. See that nothing
is wasted. Food WIll Win the
War, for this IS an endurance
fight.
Yours for Victory;
