UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATION • / 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.

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.

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 Federal Food Administrator, Ga. G. F. Fears, County Food Administrator.

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.
