WILL BE NO SUGAR CARDS
People Arc on Honor to Obey
Wishes Of Food Administration.

Through specific instructions
from the food administration at
Washington no sugar cards have
been issued in Tulsa county and
none will be issued until further
orders
C. b. Douglas, county food ad-
ministrator, and Ora f. Upp, city
food administrator both received
these instructions some time since.
MIR. Hoover pointed out to them
that il would cost at least $500, 600
and require the services of 100000
persons to inaugurate and maintain
a system of sugar cards In the United
States. For that reason 1t was de-
cided to place the people upon their
honor
mo person is supposed to buy
more than two pounds OF sugar a
week" said Mr.. Upp yesterday.
"NO grocer will sell larger amount
than this to one customer at time.
Larger quantities may be used for
canning purposes but 1t is necessary
to have a permit from the local
food administrator to secure it."
Undoubtedly" said Colonel
Douglas. in charge of county food
affairs, there are A numb ber OF un-
patriotic hogs who go from one
store to another buying two pounds
of sugar at each place, Under our
instructions we have no way Of pre-
venting this, at least for the present.
Anybody who would resort to such
practises is a reasonable dog

thing like 200 men who are now IN

der Captain Rooney has resulted IN
the men being made non-comnls-
, stoned officers soon after entering
the regular army or the national
guard
Men are dropping out every week
to enlist for active service and7new
recruits are being taken on to III
their places. There is not night
that a new squal Is now being
trained.
Recently the Home Guard held q
one days encampment at the rfl'

military lines, and everything was
handled as though it were regi-
ment instead Of a company The
men pitched camp and had every
thing in order in ten minutes The
regular daily schedule was gone
through, including inspection and
drill
The rifle range has been improved
80 that 1T is now an ideal training
camp. All that is needed Is a per

Captain Rooney Is always glad to
