100000 POUNDS OF
SUGAR PROMISED TO.
RELIEVE SHORTAGE.
Hobbie Wires That Equali-
cation Board Allots 1000
Tons for Immediate
Shipment

Announcement that 100000
pounds of sugar had been Sc
cured for Birmingham was
made yesterday by Paul H.
Earle, county food administra-
tor, following receipt of a tele-
gram from Richard M. Hobbie,
state food administrator, who
is in New York.
MIR. Hobbie wired MIR. Earle as
follows.
"Secured / 600 tons beet sugar
from equalization board at 1913
cents refinery, immediate shipment.
Ordered $50 tons Birmingham.
Please arrange for distribution"
Mr.. Hobbie went east last week de-
termined to secure sugar for Alabama.
where the shortage has been felt for
several weeks. owing to the coming
restrictions fixed by the government,
this state had been prohibited from Sc
curing sugar anywhere except from
Louisiana refiners. The entire south
east was supposed to be served by the
Louisiana refineries, the east by New
York and Philadelphia refineries,. and
the west by the beet sugar retinerles
west of the Mississippi.
Several days ago, however Mr.. Hoo-
bic secured the suspension of the zon-
ing restrictions. so that Alabama might
OBJ tain western sugar no sugar pelns
available from Louisiana refineries.
The Birmingham Wholesale Grocers
association, in cooperation with MT.
Hobbie. has been seeking to secure
shipment of beet sugar, but without
success until yesterday, when the tele-
gram was received from Mr.. Hobbie.
