Following a visit to Barre by Federal
! Inspector q. g. Reeves of Burlington
yesterday, Barre stores dealing in sugar
abandoned the mutually arranged plan
of selling sugar to the amount Of one
half a pound only on purchases OF 81
worth of other groceries; and, as the
result of the wide-open sale, some of
the stores were cleaned out of white
sugar stock before the day was over,
| because there is very little sugar avail
able at the present time. The federal
inspector held that the half pound
and dollar trade" sale was illegal, and
he so notified the dealers in sugar here
Unfortunately, considerable part of
| the sugar put out after the opening up
of the sale went into the homes of
those who already had large stocks Of
sugar, thereby defeating any plan at a
more general distribution
