New Food Regulations.

Beginning August l the sugar
ration is two pound per person
per month.
Owing to the volume of work
that the sugar distribution caused
| did not get the June reports
compared as soon as | hoped, but
the July reports will be attended
to more promptly. .....-.--.-----.......
tits gratifying to me to know
that the greater portion Of the
merchants of Morgan county are
trying earnestly to carry out the
Food Administration rules. 1t
speaks well for their patriotism.
The people, too, as rule, are do
ing their part nobly in making
the required sacrifices. The re-
ports, however, reveal a few in
dividuals who are neither unself-
ish nor patriotic enough to obey
the conservation laws, and it is
causing me no regret to make the
order that prevents these indi-
viduals from buying sugar or
flour while the war lasts. The
only way to enforce the law is to
enforce it.
am going to insist that all of
the merchants subscribe for the
the Licking Valley Courier. Of
course you don't have to if you
don't want to. Neither does it
benefit me financially. But the
work of the Food Administrator
is growing so rapidly, and there
is no salary nor provision to pay
for office help. Many County
Food Administrators do no more
than publish their notices in the
newspapers and let the merchant
do the best he can. | write on
an average, more than four hun
dred letters a month. The mer-
chants will either have to sub
scribe for their county paper or
run the risk of missing some rul-
ing that the knowledge of which
might keep them from some pen
atty of the Food Administration.
Had | not written personal let
ters to the hundred merchants of
the county many of them would
have been unable to buy sugar
while the war lasts,
1t is for the protection of the
merchants themselves that am
asking them to take the Courier.
WithoutNsalary or provision for
office expense it is a physical i'm
possibility for me to write to each
of the one hundred merchants of
the frequent rulings that they
must know.
| am told that in one county
the Food Administrators publish
ed his notices in his county paper
and that nearly twenty mer-
chants failed TO apply to him for
Statement E, and can not buy
sugar during the war, lam will
ing to do all | can, but you must
do something, too.
