Retail Merchants Sugar
Statements Must Be
Based On Per Month
Allotment
Merchants Must Make Request
For Changes In Sugar State
ments So AS To Reach
New Orleans Sept. 10

All certificates for the purchase Of
sugar for the month Of September
for use on Statement "E" (retail-
ers) were mailed out from the office
of the Federal Food Administrator
for the State of Louisiana on We'd
nesday, August 29, and should be
received by the retailers in such time
as would be necessary for mail to
reach them from New Orleans.
To the Retailer:
Two months of certifcation have
now elapsed and your statement on
file with the Federal Food Admin
istrator is now deemed a correct esti-
mate of the proper allotment Of
sugar for you, based on the present
rule of pounds per person per
month. Ample time has passed in
which to make corrections, obiec-
tions and changes. Therefore, the
Federal Food Administrator for the
State Of Louisiana would look with
disfavor on any further correspond
enc asking for changes or correc-
tions, except there be extraordinary
reason therefor which would need
very explicit explanation. The allot-
ment for tn emonth Of September is
fixed at 2 pounds per person per
month. Many dealers have made the
mistake of confusing the order of
sale limitation to pounds at time
with the order of allotment of 2
pounds per person per month. Please
get this clearly before your mind and
govern your sales accordingly that you
may not exhaust your stock by the in
discriminate selling Of two pounds at
a time rather than being careful of
the per capita per month allotment.
The office Of the Federal Food Ad-
ministrator has been simply swamped
with an avalanche of letters and tele
grams asking for changes, declaring
non-receipt Of certificates, and other
matters Of like nature, when in prac-
tically every instance the fault orig
mated and lies at the door of the
dealer in the improper making out
and filing of his statement Many
statements come into this office Civ
inga street addrss with no postof-
fee; many with shipping points in
bold letters and preceding a postof-
flee usually in brackets of another
name. TIE stenographers being natur-
ally unfamiliar with this condition,
and due to the fact that we issue
many thousands of certificates thus
ieqaD,n ing every elimination of cost

time the whole force being worked
at perhaps highe, tension than anv
other office force in the State of
Louisiana that we may cause no u;.-
necessary delays, does not give time
for the unraveling of many Of the
mysteries presented to us in the form
of statements by the retailer.
Special Notice:
In view of the fact, which we again
state that full sixty days have elapsed
in which time corrections should have
been made and statements filed, we
now advise that correspondence and
kilograms relative to your sugar
statement will not be welcomed after
midnight of September 1.
: This is not an arbitrary rule, or
one made to cause any hardship, but
for the benefit of the citizenship Of
the State of Louisiana. It is neces-
sary to begin full operation not later
than the above mentioned date for
the allotment of the month of Octo-
Der, and if hampered as we have been
in the months Of August and Septem-
Der with inconsequental and unneces-
sary correspondence and kilograms
same causes serious delay and has
the effect of increasing the possi-
bility of errors more than anything
else that we have to attend to. Please
fix definitely in your mind that any
report of non-receipt of certificates,
or any cor,p.airt on same, must reach
this office not later than midnight
of September 10, and we can promise
but scant consideration, if any, and
then only to such as have exceptional
reason for presentation of personal,
written, wire or phone objections,
corrections or changes. We hope to
have the hearty cooperation of the
citizenship Of the State Of Louisiana
as represented by the dealers and
users Of sugar in doing what our
country asks us to do. This is your
honorable, reasonable and patriotic
service. Every ounce of energy, time
and talent that this office has, or can
command, is in the cause of America,
for liberty and right. The greatest
service that can be rendered by those
of US who stay at home is in co-opera-
ton with the forces and with each
other in this work. This, again, is
our reason for asking that you do
not communicate with the office later

seller or defective merchandise.
The establishment of a co-opera-
tive delivery system in every place
where it can be operated is request
ed. Where delivery system is oper-
ating and giving satisfactory service,
merchants are requested to avail
themselves Of the savings that this
form of delivery makes possible. Mer-
chants in larger cities who retain
their individual delivery service
should confine it, so far as possible,
to the central sections and adopt the
cooperative plan for suburban serv-
ice, thus saving long trips of many
partially loaded vehicles.
Every merchant is requested to put
this program into effect at once in
his store. Carefully compiled reports
from stores in both large and small
cities that have adopted these plans
show that substantial savings have re-
suited. In this way these stores have
been able to operate with smaller
forces as their men have been called
into military service or engaged in
essential war occupations. They are
helping to win the war.
Should any merchant desire fur
ther information, he should consult
with the State Council of Defense or
with the Conservation Division Of the
War Industries Board.

for sixty days, and have for his main
duty to 60 through the entire parish

Mr.. E. A. Pharr introduced an
amendment to the effect that the
chairman Of all ward committees re-
port to the secretary list Of all EN-.
ployers of labor, and that the secre-
tary then send to these employers of
labor notice asking how many men
they employ and how many additional
men they need in the harvesting of
the crops. The amendment was ac
cepted by Mr. W. H. Kramer and
made a part Of the original resolu-
ton. The resolution was seconded
by Mr.. c. D. Kemper and carried
unanimously.
The wish Of the meeting was that
the president get in touch with the
state and government labor agents,
and invite them to meet with the
council in the near future (next Sun
day if possible) and discuss with
them the labor question.
Mr.. E. A. Pharr made motion
that the council call upon the State
Council of Defense, and upon the
National Council of Defense, to send
to this parish two thousand prisoners
to assist in the agricultural enter
prises.
Mr.. C. D. Kemper made an amend
ment that the wage schedule be equiv
alent to that which is now paid ant
the difference between the board and
clothing of the prisoners be divided
between the Red Cross and the vari-
Gus war activity funds. In discus
sion Mr.. E. A. Pharr stated that it
took seven tons of shipping to main
tain one soldier over the seas, and
three and one-half for one prisoner,
and that it was more economic to
have the prisoners and their guards
transferred to this country.
Mr.. C. E. King called attention to
the council of the following COM
munication:
SPECIAL NOTICE.
To All Retail Merchants.
Every retail merchant in the
United States is requested:
1. To restrict deliveries to one
trip a day over each route.
2. To eliminate deliveries and re-
strict the privilege of returning mer-
chandise to not more than three days.
3. To organize cooperative de-
livery systems wherever possible and
especially in the medium and small
sized cities and towns.
The request for one delivery day
on each route applies to all stores that
maintain any form Of delivery serv-
Ice, lncludlng dry goods, clotnlng, or
department stores and grocery, meat
and provision stores. Under one de-
livery day over each route, a de-
livery vehicle may leave the store
twice or three times day, but over
a different route on each trip. Not
more than one delivery a day is made
to any one section of the city or town.
Delivery companies, whether cooper
ative or individually owned, are also
requested to make only one trip a
day over each route.
The restriction on returned mer-
chandise Isl to be interpreted to mean
three days in the customers posses
sion. It is to be applied in all cases
