NOT TO FIX PRICES ON MEATS
Food Administration Has No Power
Over Product, Says Hoover.

Over Product, Says Hoover.
Washington, Sept. 7. - Price fixing
for meat and dairy products has no
place in the government food control
plans. Herbert Hoover, food admin
istrator, told the national livestock
Not only would it be inadvisable
to institute price fixing in these in
dustries, he declared, but the food ad-
ministration has been given no such
power.
AS long as there is heavy demand
for meat with decreased production,
Mr.. Hoover said meat prices will con-
tinue to soar.

TO THE FARMERS OF KENTUCKY

The Agriculture Department at
Washington, ID. c., is calling upon
the Commissioners Of Agriculture
and other agricultural forces
throughout the United States, earn
estly pleading with them to use
their influence toward increasing
the acreage OF wheat sown this
Fall; and since il is most imperative
that Kentucky should increase her
1917 acreage sown, beg OF each
land owner in this Commonwealth
TO see that his Fall sowing is in
creased fully 259o in acreage. Not
only is this appeal made to the farm
er in the nature Of a war appear
and a patriotic effort, but it is q
duty each farmer owes to his own
household to produce an adequate
supply of the necessity OF life for
the sustenance If that family, ard
under the existing war condition,
his obligations toward helping feed
our Allies should be just as para
mount and just as eagerly perior III
ed as is the debt and duty he owes
to his own family. Kentucky for
the past few years has beer pro-
ducjng annually around eight million
bushels Of wheat, and it is estimal-
ed that ten million bushels of wheat
are consumed each year by the peo-
pie of this Commonwealth. There
fore, in order to do our mite dur
ing this serious crisis, | beg OF the
Kentucky people to decrease the
supply of wheat usually consumed
al least two million bushels, and to
the farmers of this State to do their
utmost in producing twelve million
bushels in 1918, which will give our
Allies the magnificent amount OF
four million bushels, and which !.
nothing more than we should do for
those brave warriors who are today
fighting the battle for the worlds
freedom. Do not let the hlgh price
OF seed wheat influence or prevent
you from sowing an increased acre
age, nor doubt not for minute but
that the growing of wheat will be
profitable as well as patriotic eff
fort, even if the war were to close
tomorrow. | cannot believe tina;
the farmers of this State fully realize
the seriousness OF the situation, and
therefore call upon them and as
sure them that every pulsation o.
the heart Of every true American
citizen is throbbing, and most cry
ing aloud for a greater increased
production Of this staple product
Mr.. Farmer, won't you please d.
your part?

DO UNTO OTHERS"

Was the Golden Rule given TO us
by Confucius. lie was born sol
years before the Christian Era.
So many of our friends in Berea
have asked what they would do,
others have been thinking with the
desire in their hearts TO be able TO
do his or her "bit" in appreciation
OF the Man at the Front. This desire
comes from the depths OF the heart
and is felt more keenly now that our
own boys are on the European soil,
ready TO make the Great Sacrifice
for their beloved ones at home.
"Of all the things you have ever
done at Christmas time, the max
ing and filling Of Good Cheer Bag
for one Of your Country's Defenders
must seem the very biggest and most
satisfying. To know that you have
made one day brighter-one day out
OF the long weeks of hardship and
sufrering-that is the lot Of our SER
vice men on the firing line OF de-
mocracy; to feel that your message
Of love and encouragement has turn
ed one Of the dull hours into the
red and green Of Christmas. II is
q knowledge, a feeling that will
surge deep. and perhaps the bright
hour or day of your making will
be the last and a man may go to
meet the Great Adventure" with
the smile on his lips that you have
sent him from Overseas-from
Home"
Owing TO the difficulties Of trans
portation. the Good Cheer Bags must
be in the hands Of government
agencies for transportation not later
than October 10. to insure delivery
at Christmas time.
The Christmas Good Cheer Bag
is made Of any washable material,
size, i0xi3 inches, with drawstrings
at top. Each bag should contaii,
five articles and not over ten. The
Navy League Girls Of Berea suggest
that this be a combination Of the
comfart bag. making a Practical

articles sent from headquarters they
choose the following for selection

DEFORE the war is over we will

These men have got to meet veteran
troops as good as there are in the
world. They must be trained, and
trained in modern warfare.
The war is far from ended. The
collapse or threatened collapse OF
one of our allies on the eastern front
makes the situation an exceedingly
grave one for us.
But the die has been cast. We

RED CROSS COMPLETES PLANS
FOR THE CHRISTMAS CHEER
OF OUR BOYS

The American Red Cross with its
three million members has just
completed plans for the Christmas
Cheer Of every soldier and sailor In
the National Service. Many Of the
men who will be in the environments
and trenches this year will be spend
ing their first Christmas away from
home. None will be forgotten.
Red Cross Chapters nearest the %
Army Camps and Cantonments will
probably arrange in their towns
Community Christmas Trees with
carols, pageants and Holiday Movies
to which the 100000 men in training
will be invited.
Comfort Bags
Many of the Chapters are already
at work finishing their allotments OF
comfort bags. Most Of them are
made Of khaki and are furnished
with extra pairs Of wooden socks,
housewives with needles, pins,
thread and buttons. Detailed sug-
gestions Of how 20 wrap these
Christmas packages for shipping
will be issued by the Red Cross.
The Red Cross will also welcome the
cooperation Of anyone desiring to
have part in sending Christmas
Cheer TO the men in training or at
the front. Some people will want
to give money TO buy articles, bags,
mouth organs, envelops and paper,
safety razors, extra soap, spoons,
and knives. Some will want TO have
a personal part in tying up the pack :
ages. Children will be asked TO help
with the package making.
The gifts will be bought from con-
tributions especially given for the
Christmas greeting. The Red Cross
War Fund will not be used for this
purpose.

RED CROSS CHARITY BALL CHIEF
SOCIAL EVENT OF EASTER WEEK

Eclipsing all social functions of the
year, and indicating IN a most beau
tiful and brilliant way the spirit of
patriotism which is aniaating the
country today, the Charity Ball which
is TO be given on the evening of East
er Monday under the auspices of the

chief social event of the spring
season, and has the centre of interest
at this time.

who is chairman of the Charity Bail
committee, are the members Of the

inent women of the city, and many
charming young girls viii take part
in the pageants and dances which
viii introduce the bail.
Nothing has ever taken such a
hold on the interest of the Pensa-
cola public, as has the Red Cross
work, and no better way could be
found to give a practical demonstra-
ton of that patriotism which all feel,
than to attend this ball and so give
aid to the work, and at the same
time enjoy an evening of rare
pleasure.
While the details of the ball are
to be kept secret until the evening
of the function, it has been announced
by those in position to judge that
nothing which has ever been given
in the city has equalled in spectacular
effect the ball of Easter Monday, in
the success of which not only every
member of the Red Cross, but every
man and woman in Pensacola, should
be vitality interested
