Hamblin and Vicinity

A card party was given by Mr..
and Mrs. C. w. Hamblin on New
Years Eve.
At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. R.
O. Wilkins,a number of neighbors
and friends were gathered, in
Spouse to kind invitation, to bid
the old year goodbye and see the
new year upon its arrival. Ex-
citing and interesting games were
played and very fine ice cream
and cake were served by the
hostess. 1t was indeed, an enjoy
able occasion and it was well
along in the early morning hours
when the guests deported from
the hospitable home, to catch a
few hours sleep before the duties
of 1919 were entered upon in
earnest.
Geo. Brooks and Irwin Thomp-
son we're caught by the storm on
their return from Richey and were
obliged TO leave their loads at Jim
Peeles place. They are just about
to get their loads home at this
writing.
Coal hauling is not quite as dull
now as it was for some time, and
there is a little stir at the mine
again.
Adolph Njaa who has spent the
past few weeks at Circle is now
visiting with Sam Olson, who re-
sides east of Hamblin.
Herman Goodman returned a
few days ago from trip to Richey.
On his return he was accompan-
led by a son of C. F. Cuddeback |
who came out from Lambert for
a visit.

At first glance Mr.. Hughes might BIZ
taken as man who has chosen ar
army career. Be not deceived, how.
ever. The uniform only signifies the
patriotism Of Rupert Hughes, who
served as captain In the intelligence
department of the government during
the war. 1t might be added that he
is also veteran of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, enlisting as a private and
coming out as a captain.
But Rupert Hughes chief claim to
fame is as writer of fiction and plays,
being the author of some 20 odd books
and dozen plays. His stories have
won for him place among the most
popular and successful writer's Of the
day. One Of the best Of his stories Is
"The Thirteenth Commandment"
remarkably entertaining tale Of mod
ern life. We have secured this story
for our next serial and II you will
read the first installment you'll surely
want to follow it to the end. And,
what is more, you won't regret 1t.

WHY SUGAR BAN IS
LIFTED In AMERICA
q. s. Food Administration Carries
Out It's Promise That Reg
ulations Will Be Raised
When Possible

In view of the large number of In
Quiries as to the reasons for the re
moval of restrictions upon the use Of
sugar In households, and especially
from the service of sugar in the pub
lie eating places, the Food Admins
tration today issued the following state.
ment:
Since its inception, the Food Admin
istration's policy has been to adjust
Its conservation requests with conser-
vation necessities and the public has
shown its appreciation of this frank
ness by immediate response.
1t may astonish the public to know
that during the months of July, Au-
gust, September, October and Novem-
Der this year. the American people
saved no less than 775,OOO tons of
sugar over their normal consumption.
This conservation, of course includes
the amount of sugar saved by the re-
strtctions placed on confectionery and
soft drink products.
The Food Administrations object in
asking for economy In the use Of sugar
was to insure supply that would be
adequate to meet the needs Of the
allies who would have to depend on the
same sources as the United States so
long as the war lasted. 1t was neces-
sary to take precautions so that there
would be certainty Of sufficient
sugar through the year. With the
signing OF the armistice the situation
was Immediately changed, just as 1t
was with all measures taken with the
needs Of continuing war in view. As
soon as the armistice made a change
In our sugar program possible, the re-
strictiOns were lifted.
While 1t Is true that certain states
on the eastern seaboard are still lack
Ing a plentiful supply Of sugar, 1t Is
also a fact that with the Cuban crop |
almost upon US, we have large sur
plus Of western beet sugar and Louisi-
ana cane sugar, and 1t is quite permits
-sible to return to the normal use OF
sugar whenever 1t Is available. It Il
great relief to the Food Administra.
tion to feel that no extraordinary sac
rif1ce IN the use OF sugar Is required
at our people until further notice.
Until Mr.. Hoover's return, the Food
Administration will outline no definite
campaign Of saving on any specified
commodit1ss. A great deal will do
pend upon the supplies which arr
found available In the various coun. !
tries Of Europe and In the arrange.
ments which are made with the Allied
Food Council
The people Of America are urged
to eliminate waste rfgidly. This advice
applies to al foodstuffs, including
vuear. from which the necessary and {
sxtfncial restrictions have now beer
removed. 3
