ANNAPOLIS FACES
SUGAR FAMINE AS
SUPPLY IS SHORT
One Of Local Dealers Out OF
Standard Grades Entirely
Right Now
q POUNDS TO CUSTOMER

Annapolis is almost face to face
with sugar famine. Like conditions
prevail in many parts of the country.
Here in the city practically all of the
grocers are going along on mighty
scant supply. with little or no pros
pect of getting any more before at
least the first of the year, and they
sre in consequence serving their GUS
toners in sparse quantities. The price
of graduated sugar has risen to the
11A-cent mark, and reports coming
from other sources are to the effect
that 1t may mount to Is cents within
the next week or two and possibly 20
cents later on.
To get a line on the local situation,
The Capital got in touch with the
firms of Jones and Franklin, and W.
f. Childs and Sons, among the larg-
est dispensers of the product here
Samuel Jones. head of the former firm.
stated that his supply of the standard
sugars has been depleted entirely and
that all he now has in stock is few

was stated that they, too, were short
and that extraordinary precaution is
being exercised as to supplying GUS
toners In other words they are look

customers. and then only two-pound
lots are being. sold, as needed. AS for
preserving, no sugar at all is being
allowed for that purpose.

MORE PRODUCTION
Of GOODS To MEET
SITUATION OF H. c. |.
u. S. Council Of National Defense
Issues Statement Giving
Valuable Pointers
WORK, SAVE, COOPERATE

The high cost of living is giving no
end of worry to the National and State
officials, who are handling the situa-
ton, not to mention the trials and
tribulations that are being expert
enced by householders.
The IT, S. Council of National De-
Tense. of which General Francis f.
Waters is chairman of the Maryland
District, has just issued circular
setting forth the responsibility and
duty that rests upon the public in
helping to meet the situation. Here
are the pointers:
1.-The United States Council of Ma
tional Defense, composed of the Secre-
taries of War. Navy, Interior, Agricul-
ture, Commerce, and Labor, has made
a careful investigation OF the high
cost-of-liying problem, and finds:
"That the Nations productive pow
ers have not been fully utilized since
the armistice.
'"That too few goods. notably the
necessities Of life have been produced.
and that even some of these goods
have been withheld from the market,
and therefore from the people.
THAT the high cost 81 living is due
IN part to unavoidable war waste and
increase of money and credit.
THAT there has been an is con
siderable profiteering, intentional and
unintentional
1.-THE Council believes that the
remedies for the situation are:
ITO produce more goods. and to pro-
duce them in proportion TO the needs
of the people; to stamp out proiiteer-
ing and stop unnecessary boarding;
to enforce vigorously present laws and
promptly to enact such further new
laws as are necessary to prevent and
punish profiteering and needless
boarding; to bring about better CO.
operation and method in distributing
and marketing goods; to keep both
producer and consumer fully informed
as to what goods are needed and as to
what supplies are available, so that
production may anticipate the coun-
try's demands
Goods and not money are the means
Of life Better standards of living are
Impossible without producing more
goods. Man can not consume what
has not been produced.

desperate need of the essentials of
