CHANGES IN
SUGAR RULING
Fair Price Commissioner Puts
Sugar Profits On Per
Centage Basis; Or
der Issued.

Acting under direct instructions
from Washington Fair Price Commits
sioner Locke issued an order Friday
changing the basis of profit of sugar
from fixed amount to the per cent
age basis.
Under the former ruling Of the De-
partment of Justice wholesalers were
allowed a profit of ! cent pound on
sugar and retailers 2 cents Under
the ruling issued Friday the whole
saler is allowed a profit of 10 per
cent, and the retailer 20 per cent.
The order which follows is self ex-
planatory:
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Fair Price Commissioners Office
Columbus, Miss.
May Z, 1920.
To all Fair Price Committees, Jobbers,
Brokers, Retailers and all distribu-
tors Of sugar:
The Fair Price Commissioner has
just received authority from The De-
partment Of Justice to change Sugar
Rulings heretofore issued; this au-
thority being based on the fact that
the unusual and chaotic condition of
the sugar market necessitates the ty-
ing up of abnormal capital on the
part Of legitimate dealers in order
to supply the public demand.
Therefore, all rulings and orders
fixing margins Of profit on sugar here
tofore promulgated in Mississippi are
hereby annulled.
The Consuming public and all per-
sons interested win take notice that
from and after this date margins of
profit allowed to distributors Of sugar
viii be as follows:
To the wholesaler A margin of
ten per cent 90 per cent? above cost
i To the retailer, margin of twenty
per cent above cost.
/ 1t is not longer possible to avoid
the proposition that there is real
shortage of sugar and to this shortage
of supply and an abnormal demand is
due the present condition of the sugar
market. In spite Of the World short.
age sugar consumption in the United
States in 1919 reached the new higf
level of 85.43 pounds per capita. Tn,
Department Of Justice is making
every effort to avoid further short
age and to minimize prices and th'

AND WORKER
- GROW IN POPULARITY
The Reputation of These Two Crow
ley County Officials Becoming
State Wide.

That this county has county
judge and sheriff in the persons of
Chas. G.. Woodbridge and Lewis
Worker, who believe in and who will
enforce the laws as they are written,
goes without saying here in the
county
That the growing onviable reputa-
tion of both these men is spreading
beyond the county is ayidnced by the
following, taken from the Pueblo
Chieftain CT October 3. under the
caption. Something New in Court
Circles" follows; - 3
Something new or unusual from q
legal standpoint is ever and anon bob
bing up in this city; in fact Pueblo
has the reputation OF developing more
out-of-the-ordinary things than any
other place in state which has "a
great reputation for oddities and un-
usualities.
Yesterday there was filed in the Of
flee of the Pueblo county clerk "a
transcript of n judgment rendered In
the county court of Crowley county,
ct Ordway, against Amanda Might of
Pueblo, for fine in the sum CT $500.
The transcript set forth in due and
legal form that on certain recent
date the aforesaid Amanda Might was
Hncu the sum OF S3OU Tor Illegally
having in her possession quantity of
intoxicating liquor. and that the same
is due and unpaid.
This is the first time, officials say,
that such q document from another
county representing fine for law
violation. has been filed with Pueb-
10 county clerk.
And besides this, the defendant
mentioned is serving a six months
county Jail sentence at Ordway, as
additional penalty for said law viola
ton. She pleaded guilty to the
charge, but there was nc such thing
as getting off light. The fine seems
not to have been joke either
"Oficials of Crowley county" re-
marked gentleman who obnerved
the transcript filing, evidently be-
lieve the laws are made to be en-
forced"
Crowley county voters who believe
/ in law enforcement, and that class
here represents the vast majority,
should and doubtless WILL without re-
gard to party cast their votes for both
! these men on November 2, thereby
/ taking no chances on new and untried
men in these important positions.
