The Sugar Situation

We believe that the people of Morris
town are as patriotic and as determined to
help win the war as the people of any
other town in the state. When they under
stand the sugar situation, they are ready
to govern themselves accordingly. The
three indispensable things to the men
abroad are wheat, meat and sugar. The
sugar situation is so serious that if the
Government had not taken the matter
in hand we would probably be paying to-
day S1.00 pound for sugar and this would
make it prohlbitive to many of the people.
SO by fixing the price of sugar both to
| the wholesaler, retailer and consumer it is
possible for every person to buy their
share. Ii, however, the Government had
just fixed the price and not taken charge
of the distribution the man of money
would have bought up the supply and the
average person would still be short, so
that the Government has not only fixed
the price but is trying to give every
American citizen square deal. At the
present time there is just enough sugar to
allow each person three lbs. per month
from now till the first day of Oct. beyond
that we do not know what the plans NAV
be, but il there is just three lbs. per
person for July, August and Sept. after
making a fair allowance for the sugar
that is to be used for canning, ETC., it is
safe to say that where a person buys more
than their allotment they are takiBg the
sugar tnaJ belongs TO their nelgh Dor and
some one will have to go short later on.
The merchants want to do the fair
thing and the situation has made some of
them considerable trouble as they don't
like to refuse any person and yet at the
same time the regulations are such that
they cannot sell more than two pounds to
persons in the village or five pounds to
persons in the country, nor can a second
lot of sugar be sold to any person until the
first lot has been used, nor can they sell
more than three pounds per person each
month to a family. Some of them have
had 20 keep track of the sales made, in
order to do the fair thing by all of their
customers. A few persons have been
known to 60 from one store to the other
buying sugar of each place. In some
| cases buying many pounds by going the
rounds of different stores, so in order to
do the fair thing by all concerned.
| Morrisvilie with a number of other towns
will go on the card system next Monday
These cards will be furnished by the
Local Food Administrator and will te
good for three months. A card will be
gladly furnished to every family, 80 it will
be possible for people TO get their sugar
where they do their trading or at any
other store, as long as they are on the card
system.

Letter From the Front

The following exceedingly interesting
letter was recently received by S. B. Nor.
ey from his son Ralph, We are sure our
readers will take pleasure in reading it,
SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE
June %, 1918
Dear Mother:-
A few lines to let you know that | am
enjoying the best of health and hope that
everyone at home is enjoying the same,
We are at last out ofthe trenches, and
this time we certainly had some time of
it. You will have read about the scrap
we had with the Boches, by the time you
receive this letter. They came across in
the early hours of the morning and when
within short distance of our lines they
called for a barrage and believe me
they got it. But, regardless of the bar
rage, numbers, experience, and the sur
prise to our men. they were unable to &C
complsh Anything, against the stubborn
resist ince and determination of the
American forces. If their object was to
take prisoners it was an absolute failure.
or ii they expected to take the village,that
was more than failure. Our company
had but very few men wounded includ
ing Ben Parker, and the infantry with us
didn't have heavy losses, while the Ger
mans lost very heavily; and as l said
before gained absolutely nothing.
After the battle was over, we, went out
to pick up their wounded and get things
for the intelligence department. They were
very well equipped and everything
seemed to be of very good quality. Of
course they were storm troops and that
accounts for their equipment and for the
quality of troops, to a certain degree, be.
cause such troops are large sand of the
best physique and best equipped in all
armies.
| have a few souvenirs that a German
gave me. He had been wounded and had
started back to their lines. but after get.
ting nearly there l saw him, and started
toward him. He acted terrorifed from
the time he saw me until had searched
him and started back to our lines. Then
he was more than pleased. l suppose he
had been taught that Americans didn't
take any of them, just killed them right
where they were. One OF the things was
nice silver watch and chain and i
