RETAILERS GO
ON CERTIFICATE
BASIS ON SUGAR
County and State Administra
tions Both to Check Sales
- in Order to Prevent Vio
lations of Law.
A. C. Lau, deputy food commis
sioner for Nebraska, has worked out
a scheme for the expeditious hand
' ling of sugar under the new regula
tions. He has determined that certificates
for the selling of sugar by retailers
be issued by the food administrator
of each county. Blanks in duplicate
will be sent to each retailer in the
state and these and others selling
out by grocerers and others selling
sugar in retail quantities. One of
these blanks will be retained by the
county administrator and the other
filed in the office of the state food ad
ministrator for checking purposes.
Under the new ruling allotments
- hm retailer of the state will be
based on the quantities sold by such
retailers during the months' of April,
r.w nA Tunc of the nresent vear.

and they will be allowed one-third of
this for July, and tne omer - two
tUirAe -11-i(-pfl rlnrinc the remaining:
months of August and September,
while the present regulations are in
effect,
Lancaster Excepted.
Lancaster county alone is excepted
the food adminis
tration forces there being sufficiently
large to permit ot the handling 01 me
situation direct.
All certificates for allotments of
sugar for other classifications than
retailers, such as manufacturers, pack
ers, etc., will be handled from the
Omaha office.
Certain sugar substitutes are not
within the meaning of the rationing
regulations.
' Manufacturers and consumers can
use without restriction, other than
the pure food laws, honey, maple
sugar, grape sugar, corn syrup, or
glucose, and refiners' syrups.
In the southeastern part of the state
and in the semi-arid regions of the
west considerable sorghum and syrup
canes of different kinds have been
planted this year and the restrictions
placed on sugar consumption will un
doubtedly create a big demand for
"long sweetenin'" in the form of
sorghum and cane molasses the com
ing fall with consequent high prices
which will make such enterprises
profitable to the farmers and stimu
late the growth of one of the "infant
industries" of the state.

few intimate friends and relatives at

This is a "Hoover romance,' for
the couple met only a few months
ago in food administration work. The
bride-to-be came down to Omaha re--ent1v
with Mrs. A. E. Davisson of
Lincoln to attend a dinner Mr. Wat
tles gave at the Fontenelle for a
member of the national food ad

and her home has been at Crete and
Lincoln during most of her life. She

from Oberlin college at Oberlin, O.,
and Columbia university of New York
City, where she specialized in food
economics. She has traveled exten

director of this department, while
Miss Alice Loomis was in Washing

was nominated by Mr. Hoover as
home economic director of the federal
food administration of Nebraska and
has filled that position with great
credit to herself and the administra
tion.
Her parents are both deceased. Her
G.WWkM
brother, J. E. Vance, is cashier of the
Farmers' and Merchants' bank at
Milford, Neb. Her sister is the wife
of Judge Ralph D. Brown of Crete,

complete his family.
The newly wedded couple have
gone on to Hollywood, Cal., to spend
