IrfM'AL GROCERS EXPLAIN THAT
TIIKHK IM MIT A REGULAR AL
LOWANCK PER WKKK, AH MANY
HKIIK RELIEVE
The Impression seems prevalent
among many local residents, accord
ing to some of the Klamath Palls
grocers, that under the food conserva
tion ruins, advocated by Herbert
Hoover, each family Is allowed II
worth of sugar each week, anl liberty
to buy supplies regularly, and thus ac.
cumulate a supply In their homes. It
Is therefore emphasised by the deal
era that this Is a decided misinterpre
tation of the rule that tho policy of
hoarding away sugar should not be
follow (l under any circumstances.
Kvery family U entitled to go at any
time and purchase f 1 worth of sugar,
use It economically until It Is gone,
and then go and buy another ft
worth, whether It la one week or two
weeks', or four weeks. The object of
the request was to prevent the hoard
ing of the commodity.

brands which are offered them In

home goods.
This situation is going to be reme
died In some degree In a very short
