this week! / •
Citizens are buying sugar -yes,
by the hundred pounds, for the
first time in many years. Grocery
stores report sugar sales up from
four to six hundred percent, the
largest volume since the canning
seasons before the war. Of course,
Uncle Sam's decision to take sug-
ar from the ration list is the rea-
son.
At least two of Crosbyton's
stores exhausted their supplies be-
cause of the heavy buying, but
by Tuesday they ytere well stock-
ed again. There is'plenty of sugar
in warehouses all over t,he nation,
and transportation difficulties
will be the only reason for any
Shortage, it ifl reported.
The government still retained
