5. o. S. SIGNIFIES SAVE ON
SUGAR-STATE FOOD CHIEF
New Sugar Ruling Go Into Effect on
August !; Food Administrator
Explains Necessity for New
Order ut This Time

Beginning August the allowance
of sugar will be two pounds per per-
son per month in households, and two
pounds per ninety meals in public
eating places. In July each person
was permitted to use three pounds of
sugar per month, and this, according
to report issued this morning by
Food Administrator Ralph c. Ely
caused very little, if any, sacrifice on
the part of the public.
''ln other words" the report reads,
"it is hardly below normal. Our sugar
saving, up to this time, has been large
ly through the use of substitutes in
the arts including the manufacture OF
soft drinks, ice cream, candy, curing
of tobacco, etc. We have now reached
the point where ac'"al self-denial must
be practiced il we are to provide the
sugar required for the use of our own
armies and those of our Allies, and at
the same time meet the seasons de-
mands for canning purposes. This
sacrifice should be felt in every home
in our country and it should be made
at every meal and in the preparation
of every dish where sugar is used.
1.-THE allowance of sugar in France
is sixteen pounds, per person, per
year, including canning, or pound
per person, per month, for domestic
purposes; they have one-half of what
we are asked to make suffice during
the month of August.
"In Russia the total available sup
ply for all purposes averages about
| twelve pounds, per person, per year.
In Germany the supply is probably
somewhat greater but by no means
equal to ours, the conditions more
nearly approximating those obtaining
in England.

v. S. STAMP DRIVE
NETS TUCUMCAR| AN
ADDITIONAL $4,000

Under the leadership of Mrs. J. War
rem Brown, assisted by +. G. Bcebe,
secretary of the Business Mems Asso-
citation, the big drive was started Mon
day to raise the w. S. S. quota for
Tucumcar. Most of the merchants
and business men had already sub
scribed to the limit and the drive was
admitted to be a hard one, but the
young ladies chosen as the "shock
troop went into the fray with an
eagerness to win and while the whole
amount was not raised it is estimated
that fifteen thousand dollars were sub
scribed in addition to that subscribed
at the meeting a month ago.
The News was promised list of
names of the young ladies who par
ticipated in the drive but the list fail
ed to show up, but il is known that
the following youung ladies did val
liant service Misses Clark, Shaft.
Hamilton, Goldenberg, Braun, Manney
Brown, Wharton, Whitmore, Daisy and
Cora Lovelady, Devor, Gaudin, Will
liams, Barnes and few others whose
names are not known also the ladies
who worked in the residence districts.
Most of the railroad men subscribed
literally and others are to be congrat-
ulated on the amount purchased. Wm
Ridley said he was saving his money
to buy an auto but had decided to IN
vest in War Saving Stamps and use
his old car another year or two if nee
essary to win the war. He bought
Sl00 each at the four booths Wednes-
day morning besides he had already
bought few stamps. Other liberal
purchases were made during the three
days drive.

TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH

At midnight Wednesday Postmaster
General Burleson became the head of
commercial telegraph operators of the
United States.
Naturally, a change from private
control to government control Of such
vast systems as the telephone and tele-
graph lines of the country, is one that
causes more or less uneasiness among
the thousands of employees. But the
presidents proclamation provides that
until the postmaster general directs
otherwise, the present arrangements
shall continue-and that, of course,
will mean that there will be no change
in the personnel that will be disturb
ing. This proclamation provides that
the postmaster general, If he so elects,
may administer the lines through the
owners managers, boards of direc-
tors or receivers. Postmaster General
Burleson, in his statement to the pub
lie following the proclamation, indi-
Gates that no radical changes in the
personnel of the operating forces may
be expected.
