Sugar Consumption Regulated—Two
Pounds to Town and Five to Coun

• tions.
The followtog telegram dated at
Raleigh yesterday and received this
morning by County Food Adminis
trator Lynn B. Williamson from
State Food Administrator Ilenry A.
Page explains itself and dealers and
consumers will be governed thereby:
"Announce to all dealers through
local papers or otherwise maximum
quantities of Bugar that may be sold
reduced to five pounds for country
consumers, two pounds to town con-
pounds for can
ning aud preserving purposes only
upon certificates; do not wish pre
serving and canning restricted, but
desire utmost c ire iu use of sugar.
I idividuuls requiring more than
twenty-five pounds at one time will
be allowed to purchase only upon
approval of County Food Adminis
tration. Instruct all dealers to keep
detailed record of every sale
* Jol sugar from this date."
Each retail dealer must keep
record of each sale of surgar with
name of customer, date sold, pounds
•old, and price charged.

Keeping the family well insures the
ability of each member to do aome

be aick, that member will not be
able to do any sort of productive

one or more of the family will be re
quired to wait apon and care for the

medicine of phyaiciaa's bills. The
cost of aickmaa, therefore, mounts

Big Fire b Burlington Boras M. B»
Lindsev's Plant and Poor
Big Brick Buildings.
Fire broke oat in the lumber
plant of M. B. Lindaey in Burling
ton yesterday morning and destroy
ed his machinery and a big lot of
and gutted four big brick
bnildings which were formerly oc
cupied by the railroad ahopsoF the
North Carolina Railroad Co.
Mr. Lindsey'a lumber plant occu
pied one of the buildings. He wan
well equipped with wood-working
machinery and had th msands of feel
of dressed lumber in storage in the
building. His loas is between $25,-
(XX) and $30,000, with SS,(XX) insu
rance, and represents his efforts for
years.
Another building contained vast
quantities of records belonging to
the Southern Railway Co., several
car loads of which were stored there
but a few dnys ago.
The four bnildings contained the
shops of the N. C. R. R. Co. before
the road was leased to the old Rich
mond & Danville R. R. Co. and
later to the Southern. Thev are of
massive construction and the loas on
them will amount to a good many
thousands. They were erected
nearly sixty years ago, and no doubt
at that time were the largest brick
buildings in the State.
The fire is reported to have started
from an exposed electric wire.
Graham's Fire Company respond
ed to a call for help, but they nor
the Burlington .firemen could do
much on account of the long dis
tance from water connections
Booze Plants Destroyed.
Sheriff Story and Deputies Stock
ard and llensley have have had a
busy time for the pa t.week smash
ing booze plants.
Last Thursday the? raided one
near the Guilford line. No still was
found but the other equipment was
there and demolished.
On Saturday, not far from Bur
lington, a welt furnished plant WUB
laid to waste. A big copper still
was taken in tow and several stands
of beer were cut down.
Another plant, complete with -top
per still and coolers, corn mill, corn
and malt was found in Faucette
course the equipment
was confiscated.
Only one person was taken—not
fleet-footed enough to out-run the
officers.
There appears to be quite a lot of
blockading going on. The stuff at
S2O to S3O a gallon offers such fas
cinating profits that some cannot
forego the temptation to make a
"scoop."
Black Walnut Timber Needed.
The Agricultural Extensfcm Ser
vice is going on a hant in the
State for a supply of black walnut
which is one of the most valuable
timbers for the manufacture of air
plane prope'lers and gnn stocks.
Those farmers Of the State who
have black walnut timber are urg
ed to write to the Farm Forestry
Division of the Extension Service,
giving the quality, size and Quan
tity of this timber.
The War Department, the Forest
ry Department of the Government
and all the States and Boy Scouts,
have all joined to find the black
walnut timber. It is much needed,
and very valuable in th 9 prosecu
tion of the war.
It can no longer be found in
abundance, must oe culled, often
as single trees from mixed hard
wood forest growths. Individual
trees may be found as far east as
Connecticut, northward in New York
to and beyond the Canadian line,
southward almost to the Gulf of
Mexico, and westward far into the
Prairie States. The Ohio ana Mis
sissippi Valley States, the Middle
Atlantic States, and the Southern
Appalachian region, however, are
expected to furnish the bulk of the
supply.
Much of the available back wal
nut is in farmers' woodlands. Trees
from 12 inches in diameter up can
be utilized. A good market awaits
this clas of timber. The farmers
of North Carolina can thus help
materially in' the success of the
War Department's construction pro
gram, and at the same time, bene
fit themselves in a financial way.
Standardize Food Prices To The
Consumer.
A country-wide move to reduce
the cost of food to the consumer
and standardize methods ol com
pelling the observance by dealers
of "fair price-lists," has been or
dered by Food Administrator
Hoover.
Lists will be published in every
county, trfWn and ci'y and consu
mers will asked to co-operate
\Cith officials In forcing mei chants
to bring their prices to a uniform
level.
If this can be accomplished, a
statement issued by thi Food Ad
ministration says, the average buy
er will not only be protected but
the patriotic merchant who has fol
lowed the Fowl Administration's
suggestion* regarding prices will
be protected against th • unscrupj
lous dealer wh'» hat attempted in
take advantage of th? situation.
In carrying out the ni>w ntinU
ardization plan, thi* aJm n ttra.'ion
will establish price interpreting
committees composed of represent
atives of wholesalers, rc t fil'rrj ana
consumers. The boar) will deter
mine fair retail pr ce» on basis com
modities that cjnorisa a lirge
part of the nation's diet.
The published lists will g vu the
of maximum sell.'n; prices,
showing a reasonable mire which
will reflect tha prices tha shoulo
obtain in "cash and carry" stores
and a higher price representing a
fair ortee tor the "V-edit an I de
liver" stores. The local adminis
trator for each locality will act as
chairman of the price board.
Next Friday, 14th, is Flag Day,
which will probably be more gen
erally observed this year than
usual. Hang out the flagtt.
Fifty thousand persons are
homeless as the result of a Are at
Stamful, the Mohammedan section
of Constantinople, Turkey.
