RULE ON AGAIN
Consumer Gets Only a Pound
After Today, Is Order
of WyckOff.
BAN ON WHOLESALE

Indianapolis went on a sugar ration
basis today.
Wholesale dealers, on orders of Stanley
Wyckoff, fair price commissioner. were
- limit grocers to purchases Of fifty
pounds, and retailers were to limit con-
sumers to one pound.
- addition, wholesalers were ordered
sof to sell wholesale to any individual,

UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY.
This price will not be changed before
next Friday, unless something unfore-
seen happens, according to Mr.. Wyckon.

sugar has been boosted in Cuba by

nered a large part of the Cuban supply.

terday afternoon, decided to send repre-
sentative east to try and get enough
sugar for them.
