Just as the wheat situation begins to look brighter, she has now to turn her attention to a more intensive sugar saving program. I>ast year's temporary shortage aerevd to point the way. Means were discovered of rutting down on sugar and using other sweetening. That was a mere ap prenticeship, however, compared with the conservation campaign which now becomes necessary. For the burden of maintaining the Allied sugar supplies falls on us. '1 here Is not enough sugar available for us all to live in accordance with our peace time habits. We must share witli them. Our great war program has reduced oil* sugar carrying fleet; the sugar requirements of our over seas army are very large; our domestic crop is less than we expected; wo have diverted RO.OOO tons of sugar shipping in order that Belgium should have food; Germans have destroyed sugar beet fields and factories In northern Fiance and Italy; mote than fifty thousand pounds was sent to the bottom of the ocean off our shores recently. If by our own selfish use of sugar we should force the Allies to send to Java for 250,000 tons to piece out their meager sugar ration for next, year, It would take eleven extra ships. These eleven ships could transport and keep 150,000 to 200,000 soldiers in France. ID-tall sugar dealers are allowed to sell at one time half a month's supply of sugar to the consumer. This supply, of course, is based on two pounds per person per month. For example, if there are live in the family, they may buy ten pounds in a month, or live pounds at one time, but are not entitled to buy another supply after the first until half a month has elapsed. This supercedes tile rule allowing sale of two pounds to town trade and five pounds to the country, and applies to all people alike. The change is not made because there is any less need of conserva tion In sugar. The domestic canning demand, however, will soon decrease, and Ute available spot stocks of sugar if properly conserved, will make possible lids change as a convenience to both the consumers and the retailers. In order to supply our army and allies with the sugar that is absolutely essential In winning the war, we must not exceed the two pounds per per son per month allowance. • Retail dealers are to continue weekly reports on sugar sales as here totore. Individual Sugar Pledges Essential £ An ordei directing attention to the fact tiiat the allotment of sugar for Georgia is s million pounds less than in September and that the re quirement of pledges from individual purchasers must be taken on each sule ia as follows; "Announcement is made to the public that the allotment of sugar for the State of Georgia for the month of October is 1,000,000 pounds less than for the month of September. This will make necessary a continued care ful conservation |» the individual consumer and, possibly, will necessitate some reduction to the retail distributors. All retail dealers are especially cautioned to can*fully take and preserve the individual pledge in making inch sale, since their next allotments are to be based on the cheeking of these pledges There Is no reduction In the allotment fixed for individual consumption, that remaining at the ratio of two pounds per month per person. The quantity sales to individuals also remain unchanged. That Is, the individual purchaser Is permitted an allotment of two pounds per person lu the family per month, but he may purchase a semi-monthly supply at one time This rules applies alike to persons In the cities or In the country-" *'On account of Hie reduction In the Slate allotment for October, there Will be no Issue of extra allotments to dealers.’’ "The Food ivnirollers of the Allies and America In their conference in July made a careful survey of the world's food supply and the needs of the armies and eivlliaas of the Allies and certain neutrals. It was found that America must supply an additional five million tons of food this year, an increase of 50'r over last year. "The American wheat crop was good this year, but the yield of other food grains is deficient. For this reason the new rule of one pettnd of approved substitutes with four pounds of standard wheat flour was made, and tills rule will he rigidly enforced. "What is happening now in Rurope ts adding materially to the food requirements abroad Northern Russia and Bulgaria must he fed and indU cations are that Turkey and adjacent territory will soon look to the Allies for much needed food Tills shows conclusively that the need for conserva tion Is much greater Uiau last year. "For tills reason the Food Administration desires to Impress on the people of Georgia the need for additional care In saving not only sugar and wheat, but every staple food. The advance that our forces at the front continue to make, must he carefully protected with a sufficient food supply. It was never more true than now that Food Will Help Win the War,’ and every red blooded American man. woman and child, has the opiamuntty to do their share by saving, from day to day.'' ► ymmmvTyTymvTTfmvvmmTvvmvTm»TTTmt ► Mile After Mile < ►r - \ —-* _ ) \ your car spins over the road ~-c\ with never a halt if you use < ►Hjs / yl United States Tires—our long « 11 fttir ,nV service tires.

Stephens Bros., Mt. Vernon. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1018. fttata Grocers Given Warning Atlanta.—To Mr. Grocer, anywhere In Georgia; "Watch your atep!’’ That's the potent warning of the federal food administration for the state of Geor gia. "We intend to adhere strictly to the regulations issued by the ad ministration in Washington," Maj. D. F. McClatchey, executive secretary, stated recently, in discussing the food situation. "Every foot of territory which our boys are winning on the western front means that thousands of additional mouths must be fed from Uncle Sam's storehouse. Food conser vation must be practiced as never be fore. And the grocers are frankly ad vised that the rules laid down by the federal food administration must be obeyed." In this connection Dr. An drew M. Soule, federal food adminis trator for Georgia, has approved a number of findings with reference to violations of food administration rules. One merchant at Sparta has been put out of business for the period of the war, and a number of other merchants in other sections of the state have been fined for violations of the law. Twenty - five commission merchants in the city of Atlanta have already been tried and found guilty of viola tion of this rule, each of whom have been allowed to contribute the sum of $25 to the Antl-Tuberculosls associ ation. Plan Program To Boost The South Atlanta. —A program for develop ment of the South after the war has been outlined for presentation to the session of the Southern Commercial Congress at Baltimore next month. Its authors were representative South ern business men who attended the conference at the invitation of the Southern Commercial Congress. Gov ernor Dorsey, champion of the project to connect the Gulf and the Atlantic ocean by the St. Marys-St. Marks ca nal, was the principal factor in call ing the meeting. The program in cludes advantageous railway rates for the South, completion of the inter coastal canal and establishment of the St. Marys-St. Marks project, highway projects, equitable distribution of the merchant marine, establishment of branches of the federal reserve sys tem In foreign lands, encouragement of Southern people to take advantage of the section’s natural facilities, the adoption of “Made in U. S. A." as trade stamp, training of young men and women for the nation’s foreign com merce, establishment of wounded sol diers on agricultural lands, establish ment of district offices of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, completion of a treaty with Uruguay as to commercial travelers, and Inves tigation toward establishing shipping lines from Southern porta, with a view to return cargoes. Atlanta Bchool Buildings, 91,239,355 Atlanta.—Comptroller E. C. West, has just completed a memoranda of school property with the amount of Insurance in force, to be turned over to the new school board, which will have entire charge of the finances of the school system, after January. His figures show that the present value of Atlanta’s school buildings is $1,239,- 365, insured for $567,593.51, while the value of furniture, supplies, etc.. Is $183,645.34, Insured for $29,850. The apparent discrepancy between the value of furniture and supplies and the insurance thereon Is due to the fact that the greater portion of the fur niture is desks, which are atttached to the floor, and therefore included in the Insurance for the buildings. Skip-Stop System Has Gone Into Effect Atlanta. —The skip-stop system de signed to save fuel Is in effect in At lanta. The system is very simple. Posts decorated with red and white paint indicate the stopping places of the street cars under the new system. The object is to reduce the consump tion of electrical current, which is the equivalent of fuel. That this system will mean a material reduction in the use of electricity Is contended by au thorities who state that only about one half the electrical energy is required to operate a car while moving a* Is required to start it. Swsst Potato Forty-sovon Inch** Long Fitigerald.—A freak from the vege table kingdom is on display In one of the drug stores in the city, having been brought to town by A. Foster, a farmer living north of town, it Is a sweet potato 47 inches long and is shaped exactly like a rattler stretched | out, head, body and tail, with the pe , culiar curves which marks the snake when In motion. The potato weighs about five pounds. Plana For Colquitt County Fair Moultrie.—Plans for Colquitt coun ty's first fair, which Is to be held here November 14 to 19, are being pushed rapidly. Practically all of the buildings are already ready for serv ice and the committees ,1a charge of the exhibits and amusements say that their work Is progressing In a splendid manner. Fitzgerald Animal Show Called Off Kllsgerald.—At a meeting of the board of governors of the Fitigerald chamber of commerce the proposed animal Industry show was called off for this seasoa. It is probable that a live stock and poultry show will be ar ranged for January If conditions are favorable at that time. President L. L Orlner of the chamber of commerce and Mayor G. S. Wlloex of Ocllla have been given full authority to ar range for an exposition at a later data SPLENDID ATTRACTION AT THE CITY AUDITORI UM, VIDALIA, NOV. 28TH.
