Dealer Required to Make Donation to Red Cross and Discontinue Sale of
 Sugar for 30 Days

J. W. Weaver, groeeryman of 4S0 Elm
 ma avenue. has been penalized for sell ing sugar at greater profit than that allowed by the food administration. wea- yer was found guilty of selling sugar
 at 10 cents per pound. As he had no complete records of his customers, he
 was allowed to approximate the amount of his sugar sales at 25OO pounds, and required to make contribution of 1 cent per pound overcharge for every pound sold.
 In addition to this penalty. Weaver has been ordered to discontinue all sales of sugar for period of 30 days, com mencing June IS. and all wholesalers have been notified not to sell Weaver any sugar for period of 90 days | Frank r. Spain county food admints- 1 trator, states that many complaints have
 been made of merchants taking advan- tage of the sugar shortage to advance prices, and has issued the following state
 ment in this regard:
 STAINS STATEMENT l ''It has been repeatedly called to the | attention of the food administration that
 merchants have taken advantage of the
 sugar shortage to increase the prices
 The federal food board publishes every
 day prices which have been determined
 to be reasonable and fair. The first item
 on the list of the federal food board I prices is sugar and the maximum and minimum wholesale and retail prices have | been specified. The published price is
 nothing more than a restatement of the 1 rule that one cent & pound is maxi
 mum profit allowed to the retailer on | sugar.
 "This has been so constantly reaf- firmed and so frequently called 10 the attention of the public that no other alternative remains but to penalize those
 who do not govern themselves thereby.
 The public is hereby requested to take note of this rule. and in every case
 where a merchant charges more than 1 sh cents per pound restitution should De
 demanded and if 1t is refused the mat
 ter should be reported to the food ad- ministration."

SHIPBUILDING NOT NEAR
KEEPING PACE WITH SUBS
Three Times as Many Ships Sunk as
Were Built by England and
United States in 1917.

Washington, Feb. 14-Ship tonnage
sunk by submarines in 1917 was nearly
three times as great as the total pro

Great Britain during that Year
This was disclosed by the announce.
ment of Andrew Bonar Law, chancel-

ping last year. The output in the
United States was 901, ,223 tons. which
ing total combined tonnage of 2O64.-
697, while sinkings by submarines
last year are generally reckoned at
6,000,000 tons.
While complete figures on .construc-
ton in Japan. Italy, France and other
nations in 1917 are not yet available
officials here do not believe their ag-
gregate equalled the. total of the Unit
ed States. If that is the case. subma-
rine sinkings more than doubled all
new tonnage produced.
Both American and British officials
expect very different story in 1918.
however. The United States and
Great Britain are speeding up their
shipping programs and naval officials
in both countries have confidently pre-

DRASTIC ACTION TAKEN
BY FEDERAL FOOD BOARD
Recommends Livense Be Taken AWAY
From Wholesalers Who Bought
Eggs for 38c and Sold for Bic.

New York, Feb. 13.-The federal
food board here took its most drastic
action thus far when it recommended
to the national food administration
that the food license of B. Baff and
Sim, Inc, wholesale poultry and egg
dealers, be revoked for the duration of
the war.
The Baff firm purchased eggs from
the Iowa Producing company at 3S 1-3
cents dozen last April and sold them
as high as 81 cents to jobbers at a
time the government fixed price was
46 cents, according to the local boards
findings.
This is the firm whose former head.
Barnet Baff, was shot and killed a
few years ago by agents of the So
called poultry trust which he had
fought. Several men are serving prison
terms for the crime.
