THE AMERICUS tOMEMECORDER.
GROCERY IT VALDOSTA
IS GAILEO TO ACCOUNT
VALDOSTA, Ga. Feb. s.—lt took
only a little more than two days for
the Curry Grocery Co., of this city,
to learn that the food administration
means nothing but business in the
“fifty-fifty” order for selling flour. A
telegram from the Atlanta office of
the administration asked the com
pany to please explain why it had
violated the order and had shipped
flour to parties without compelling
them to take the same amount of sub
stitutes. The telegram said the com
pany had been reported for this viola
tion.
SCHLEY HOWARD
AFTER “STILLERS”
WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 5.
Representative Howard has introduc
ed in the house a bill which is design
ed to make more stringent the inter
nal revenue laws. This bill is under
stood to have been prompted largely
by the reported increased activities of
moonshiners in Georgia and by the ap
peal of Internal Revenue Commis
sioner Roper for aid in putting an end
to illegal liquor manufacturing and
selling.
The first section of the Howard bill
provides a fine of not less than SI,OOO
nor more than $5,000 and imprison
ment of not less than one year and a
day nor more than two years upon
conviction for the first offense in vio
lation of the internal revenue laws as
they apply to liquor dealers, manufac
turers or rectifiers, or those engaged
in the busines of a distiller. For the
second offense upon conviction, the
penalty is fixed at imprisonment for
not less than three nor more than five
years; ‘a‘nd it shall not be deemed
necessary to allege such prior convic
tion in the indictment, but the same
shall be a matter for Inquiry by the
court after conviction.”

Food Control A Success In London.
LONDON, February 4.—-Rationing of
meat, flour and sugar has been an
unqualified success in British hotels
restaurants, according to a report from
the ministry of food. The reports re
ceived from the proprietors show that
some hotels have used only half of
their allowance of meat, while numer
ous eating places have from thirty to
thirty-five per cent under their ration
of bread and flour The best report
on sugar showed a total amount used
of only two-thirds of the official allow
ance.
' Under the present regulations, hotels
and restaurants are allowed to use two .
ounces of meat for breakfast and five
ounces for lunch and dinner. The oth-.
er allowance s are eight ounces of
I bread, two ounces of flour and one
onunce nf sugar dailv.
Why Reduced Prices On
Clotlies When Woolens
Are on the Rise?
Here’s the story in a “nut shell
You’ve probably heard that woolen prices are
advancing, so you naturally ask, “If that’s so, how
can Hart Schaffner & Marx all -wool clothes be sold
for less than regular prices?”
Each year at the end of the regular selling sea
sons we find a number of garments still on hand;
they were bought to sell during that season, so we
make it a point of selling them in order to make
room for new goods. And we reduce prices to
clear these suits in a hurry.
Because woolens are advancing so rapidly,
these Hart Schaffner & Marx suits are worth more
now than they were a few months ago; they’ll be
worth more next year. But we can’t hold them
over; we haven’t the room.
That’s the whole story and here are the prices.
S4O Suits $30.00 $35 Suits $26.25

CLOTHING
REDUCTIONS
In the face of the fact that prices on
Men’s Clothing for next Fall and Win
ter will be almost double of the pres
ent prices it looks FOOLHARDY and
UNBUSINESSLIKE to make reduc
tions on present prices of men’s clothes
but there are are times when condi
tions, over which we have no control,
arise, therefore for a few days we offer
the following reductions on Adler-
Rochester and Scloss Bros. Clothing.
$35 Suits and Overccats now $26.25
