SUGAR BOWLS
HIT HARD BY
new RULING
Equalization Board Cancels Eastern
Contracts, Intenslfying Shortage
Here-Shipments Are
Stopped.

The sugar supply situation in Mays
Vile, which developed into the short
age stage month ago, continues to
become more critical and acute, and
prospects are that a real sugar fam
inc will grip this section and all of
the State unless relief providentially
appears.
Authority for this statement is
found in the fact that, effective yes
terday, October Is, the Sugar Equali-
cation Board has cancelled all con-
tracts already made by wholesale
firms in this section or cane sugar
from Eastern refineries. This act ap-
plies practically to all of the South
ern territory. The Western beet su-
gar and Louisiana cane sugar will be
the sole source of supply.
The cancellation of orders means
that scores of carloads of cane sugar
refined in the East from the Cuban
raw sugar, ordered by local dealers
as much as sixty days ago, will not
be received here.
Despite this very discouraging out
look for the future local dealers have
not tightened up on the sale of sugar
more than they have been restricting
for the past month Many stores re-
fuse to sell more than two pounds to
l., ,,,I,;
as FIVE pounds and some few have sold
ten. This condition they now face
however, will cause the wholesalers tc
tighen up within few days and ma
turally the retailers will then be more
strict in their sales.

During the past week two very
successful Farm Bureau meetings
were held, one at lrasburg on New

at Bloomington on Thursday night,
followed by fine supper, served by
the ladies of the town.At both meet
ings Miss Marjorie Luce of Burling-
ton presented some Of the work done
by the boys and girls Of the state
through clubs which are organized IN
communities wherever the local peo-
pie want TO see this kind of work
carried on. At both meetings plans
were talked over for organizing clubs
and ~ Bloomington several OF the
local people have volunteered TO give
their services in the organization
and maintenance Of a boys and

Of this sort IS to be q success that
some one or more Of the local pe0-

namely, "that the boys and girls
clubs of Orleans county be granted
each one full membership in the

Telephone Company Answers Many
Questions. Toll TO Newport
20c Instead of 10c.

A good representation of Barton
men were present at the school build
ing Saturday evening to meet rep
resentatives of the New England
Telephone company at a public meet
ing called to discuss the question of
making Barton and West Glover eX-
changes one and changing certain
other connections which would bet
ter serve subscribers in this vicini-
ty.
J. F. Hall for the telephone COM
pany gave a short talk in explana-
tion of the reason for the proposed
toll rates and explained why West
Glover has been continued as an eX-
change when in fact it was a part of
the Barton Office. He also said that
the company was ready TO make
West Glover q part of the Barton
exchange if Glover subscribers were
willing to sign contracts to the effect
that they would pay the S1.50 per
month rate when the lines were made
metallic. where they are now paying
81 per month for ground wires. He
also stated that q certain line con-
tanning the telephones of J. G. Wat
kins. Fred May and W. H. Colby,
would be cut over and switched into
Barton if those subscribers would
sign a contract to take the service.
c. A. Brown for the telephone COM
pany explained that the rates for
tolls mailed out had been somewhat
revised by the government regula-
tiOn recently made. and that the gov
ernment was debating certain phases
Of the cOmDany's business. The gov
ernment ruling makes the toll rate
from Barton to Newport zoe instead
of 10c as the original schedule of the
company called for, 15c for the toll
and sc government tax.
Many questions were asked and
during the evening it was brought
out that Albany and West Glover
now pay toll to call Newport while
Barton and Orleans do not; that the
telephone company which operates in
Greensboro. Craftsburv and Hard
wick was not putting tolls into effect
and that the establishment of toll
rates was a matter of the company
and not of the government. though
the government dictated toll rates.
when the toll rates were established
Mr.. Hall submitted figures of
record of calls made from the Bar
ton Office in four weeks. which are in
teresting At the time the record
in the exchange and during the four
weeks 228 Of the subscribers called
exchanges outside of Barton.
The total number of calls was
5208 and were to the different ex-
changes in the free territory now
allowed as follows: To Albany PCS,
70 Derby 80, 10 Lowell so. to New
port 1925 to North Troy 1O3, to Or
leans 2282, 70 Troy 68 and to West
Glover 925.
Eight subscribers called outside Of
Barton but once IN the four weeks.
ten bit twice. y from three to five
times 26 from six 10 tan times. 56
from Il TO % times. 38 from q 10 80

this was the worst record Of outside
calls that had been brought to his at
Eercior.
