sdgar lIOarders

AhHADCi VI MllluH uOuSeke6pelS are
boarding sugar. 1t is alleged thai
one such has two hundred pounds
IN her home. One man is said tC
: have visited every store in town
purchasing sugar wherever he
could. Some patriots! (?) 1t is also
stated on the streets that some
merchants will not sell sugar un-
less purchase of one dollar OF
other merchandise is made. The
merchants say this is done to pre-
vent avid sugar hoarders from get
ting. more than their share. Some
folks are going to feel cheap if the
authorities come looking for "su-
gar hoarders." Play fair. This is
your war.
