County Administrator Fears Makes Appeal to People
for a Proper Observance of Governmest Rules and
Regulations.
All concerns in Henry county
doing $100,000.00 worth of busi
ness in food commodities are re
quired to be licensed. Concerns
which do less than SIOO,OOOOO
worth of business are not subject
to license. However, it is hoped
by the Food Administration that
none of these concerns will charge
illegitimate prices. It is not the
intention of the Food Administra
tion for any concern to do business
without a legitimate profit. They
are asking for co-operation from
every one. iVe have in the Unit
ed States a limited amount of sup
plies. If these supplies go uni
formly from the source of produc
tion through the wholesaler and
retailer to the ultimate consumer,
it seems possible that all will have
an adequate supply of food.
Wholesale grocers are request
ed not sell sugar in excess of one
thousand pounds at a time to a
retailer.

Care should be used not to du
plicate the sales which would al
low the retailer opportunity to
have more sugar than necessary,
for consecutive distribution.
The wholesaler of flour gets 25
to 50' a barrel profit, while the
retailer is allowed SI.OO per bar
rel and upward. But here is one
important point in flour selling for
the retailer. Flour in towns and
cities should be sold in not one %
and % barrel quantities. The re
tailer can sell farm communities
in %to % barrel quantites. The
idea is to cut out among retailers
and consumers, the whole barrel
business.
There has come recently an in
creased flour demand in barrels,
this is certainly for the specific
purpose of hoarding, and comes
either from greed or fear or both.
Now if every home bought a bar
rel of flour it would represent 1-5
of our annual production.

iVIcDONOUQH, GEORGIA, FRIDAY. JANUARY 11, 1918
If every man sets aside now one
barrell of flour for the family
where he has been buying in quar
ters. it would be impossible for
the Food Administration to keep
up, on account of this hoarding.
Some people are hoarding salt
and matches and other things in
the same way. This shows a had
spirit and a spirit that is not
creditable to any man who does
it. The retail grocer is asked not
to put in advertisements tending
to induce consumers to increase
their purchase of tlour and sugar.
This is decidedly against public
policy.
There are many concerns who
make combination sales; in a sale
of clothing, shoes or medicines,
they will offer a combination sale
of food stuffs along with it. The
riding here is that these combina
tion sales which include two or
more food commodities, are for
bidden. And the sale of one food
commodity with any other goods
is considered against public poli
cy. It is hoped that all merchants
will desist from combination sales
include food

McDonough Man Takes
Stump for Upshaw.
The following news item is of
much interest io Mr. Nolan’s many
McDonough friends. His home
town is proud of him, and know
ing him as we do, can guarantee
that Mr. Upshaw will have at least
one able advocate who will add
distinct and attraction to the
campaign:
Atlanta, Ga.—J. Q. Nolan, for
merly a member of Georgia House
of Representatives from Henry
county and one of the ablest cam
paign speakers in the state, will
take the stump early this month
in the interest of William I). Up
shaw, candidate, for U. S. Senate
in opposition to Thomas W. Hard
wick, who will ask the people for
re-election.
Mr. Nolan’s announcement for
Mr. Upshaw affords a striking ex
ample of the fact that non-political
candidates sometimes make the
strongest appeal to men of life
time political affiliations. As he
says himself, Mr. Nolan has al
ways stood with the regular poli
ticians of the state in the selection
and election of candidates, but in
this case he departs from his usu
al custom to give his allegiance to
a candidate who has never been
in politics.
