Failure to file the statement may prevent them from getting sugar for the remainder of this year. Blank statements can be had from your grocer or the Food Administrator. The use of sugar will probably be regulated as long as the war lasts, and.it will be the policy of the Food Administrator to curtail the less essential industries first. For canning and _ preserving as much sugar as needed can be bought, but you must have a per- mit to get more than 100 pounds. Make application to the County Food' Administrator for the per- mit, as early as possible, stating; the amount you need, the purpose for which you will use it, and the grocer from whom you wish to buy it.

Rambo, Three Hundred Fifteenth tn- fantry, was scared for the first time since he left his home to fight when he was ordered to appear before the “old man,” as Brig. Gen. William J. Nicholson ts known throughout the brigade. “Private Rambo!” the General sud- denly barked forth, “Did you write this letter?” Private Rambo looked, cleared his voice of some of its huskiness and ad- mitted he had. It read: “Dear Mother and Father: “Am writing you a letter to let you know I received your letter and also the box (Christmas box). You sent the box by express. Why don’t you send them things by parcel post? Everything was fine, but the honey got warm and ran through the box. The cake was good, too. There’s a fellow here I knew up in the city. He thinks your cake can’t be beat. We had a fine time yesterday, entertainments and turkey dinner. Now all I want ts to get home for a week and then I'm ready to go anywhere, Maw, I never felt better in all my life than I do now. This is sure a healthy life. Plen- ty of work and all you can eat. Now don’t forget to send a cake once in a while, for a box of things like you sent makes life better. You can write and let me know when you send some more cake. With love for all, your son, D. BE. Rambo.” “Well, Private Rambo,” the general boomed again, “you can have that week's holiday home. I like boys who don’t grumble all the time.” — See a at Stee —— |] UN CLEARANCE | ML During the past week people came from far and _ near-- from early until late—to get their share of our June bar- gains.
