Bogalusa have tried to emphasize

ture of teaching thrift is the gath

followed by our children in this
work is for every child in school

the city is divided into convenient
districts and two children who
live in these districts are ap-
pointed to visit the homes where
there are no children in school

week. The school children are
allowed to bring their own paper

render an unmistakable practical

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER.

Herbert Hoover, United State
Food Administrator. has tele
oraphed a message setting fortl
his policy towards the hog indus
try. Pork is one of the most i'm
portant war foods and special eff
fort is being made to increase pre-
duction. A commission of farm
experts and educators gave tho
subject thorough study and it,
recommendations have guided
Mr.. Hoover to large extent
Ills announcement is considered
Of immense weight and value a.
this time. and the widest public
ity is therefore sought. Mr..
Hoover SAYS:
"The Food Administration has
four main purposes in view with
reference to hogs: To see that
the producer at all times can
count on a fair price for his hogs.
so that it will be profitable for
him; to see that the farmer in
creases the number of hogs bred /;
to limit the profit Of the packer
and the middle man; to eliminate
speculation.
"All these purposes are nee
essary because we must have moro
hogs so that the ultimate consunl-
err shall at all times get an ade-
quate supply of hogs at the low
est feasible price.
owe shall establish rigid con-
troll Of the packer. Fair prices to
the farmer for his hogs, we believe,
will be brought about by the fun
control which the Food Admin
istration has over the buying of
the allies, our army and navy, the
Red Cross, the Belgian relief, and
the neutrals.
"The first step is to stop the
sudden break in prices paid for
hogs in the central markets.
These prices must become stable,
so that the farmer knows where
he stands and will feel justified
in increasing the number Of hogs
for next winter. The prices. So !
far as we can effect them will not
90 below a minimum Of .about
$3.50 per hundred weight for
the average of the packers
droves on the Chicago market. /
eve have had and shall have
the advice Of a board composed
Of practical hog growers and ex-
perts. That board advises that
the best yardstick to measure thu
cost Of production of the hog is
The cost of corn.
"That Board further advises
that the ratio Of corn prices 10
hog prices on the average over a
series of years, has been about
,welve to one, or little less. In
he past, when the ratio has gon,
over than twelve to one. the
stock of hogs in the country has
decreased.
"When it was higher than
welve the hogs have increased.
That board has given its Judgment
hat to bring the stock of hogs
'ack to normal under present con-
litions the ratio should be about
thirteen.
Therefore. as to the hogs far
owed next spring, we will try to !
tabilize the price so that the 8
armer can count on getting for ,
ach 100 pounds Of hog ready ,
or the market, thirteen times the {
verage cost per bushel of corn

TALK PEACE
UNITED Press Leased Wire. +,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The
United States will talk specific
terms of peace only when Germany
is beaten.
This is the decision of the gov
eminent as the allied democracies
enter upon the fourth year of the
world struggle.
Behind it are found the reasons
for Americas refusal to support,
now, retention by France of Al
sace-Lorraine as a peace proviso.
1t further reveals the United
States is committed to press thru

allies. And it may be stated with
authority, that there is an under
standing among all these nations,
America included, that there will
be no separate peace.
The government today is con-
cerned only with victory.

FOR FIRE
SYSTEM

Purchase on credit of $67,250
worth of motor-driven fire appa-
ratus, to replace all horse-drawn
now in use by the Ia
coma fire department, was asked
of the city council Wednesday
morning by Commissioner Petit,
head of the police and fire depart
ments.
Delegates from the Rotary club,
Commercial club, Fire Protection
board, and National Safety coun-
Gil. attended the council session
and urged the council to take ac-
ton improving its fire-tightine
system.
Petit declared that the new ap-
paratus, comprising seven automo-
bile fire-fighting engines, would
effect a saving of $17,500 year
In operation, over the present
horse-drawn outfit. The Ameri.
can-LaFrance fire engine company
has offered to let the city have
these seven engines on credit, pay
ing for them in four years at
per cent interest. The mony
would come from the estimated
savings of the new apparatus.
Petit recently asked the coun-
ell for permission to buy the APP
paratus, but had no practical
means of raising the money, and
his plan was abandoned until the
credit idea was suggested by the
fire engine company.
Among those who spoke in ia
vor of the improvement in the
fire department were Ralph B
Smith, of the Puget Sound Flour.

Action by the council was de-
ferred.

IDEA FOR
BEATING
U-BOATS

A plan for outwitting the Ger-
man submarine crusade, and one
which would greatly benefit the
Pacific coast, was suggested to
Mayor Fawcett Wednesday in O
letter from Washington B. Van
derlin, 221 18th street, New York
city. Vanderbilt explained that he
was sending the suggestion to ali
officials, with the request that
they urge congress to adopt the
plan.
Vanderlip advocates the use of
steel nets across the straights of
Gibraltar, the Straits of Otranto,
in Italy, and the Dardanelles. Only
60 miles of net would be necessary
to bottle up the Mediterranean
from subs.
Then he would have all food
stuffs and munitions for the allies
shipped thru Pacific coast ports
to the Mediterranean, by way of
the Suez canal. There are few,
II any, subs in the Pacific. And
with the Mediterranean bottled,
they could not reach the American
ships. Food for Great Britain
could be transshipped across
France, and sent over the Eng
lish channel.
Vanderlip asks that instead of
building wooden ships on the At
as food for the subs, Uncle
Sa mspend this money to better
equip American railroads for
bringing freight across the con-
tinent. He suggests Tacoma as
one of the important points of de-
parture for trans-Pacific cargo
ships.

Bus Service
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
The car strike is certainly pro-
ductive of some funny ideas in
some of your correspondence.
In letter in Monday evening s
Times the writer is of the opinion
that auto buses would serve the
city better, as in the event of a
fire they would be able to detour
round it. Zone would think fire
is an every day occurrence).
That suggestion is like some
thing l heard many years ago in
Brighton, England.
There, the motorman had no
protection whatever from the
weather.
Someone proposed in the town
council that a glass screen or
shield should be provided to be
placed In front of him.
That proposal was received
with horror. Suppose, said some,
that should be a collision; the
poor man might get hurt by the
broken glass.
So the drivers had to put up
with rain and wind for fear of
what might not happen in 20
years.
l should like those who talk
about bus service versus street
car, to know what 1t is to depend
on a bus-any bus service is
trumpery, compared to the other.
How many autos would be re-
quired to handle the PIT. Defiance
crowds for instance? -.
| am disguised when any one
talks about a bus service to re-
place the street car.
In a fashionable town like
Brighton, hundreds have to walk
to and fro morning and evening,
and again from places of enter
tainment in the evening, perhaps
in pouring rain.
shall be glad whe nthe strike
is settled, as / prefer the car to
the auto and thipk the former is
away the most convenient to get
about town. Yours.

number OF north enders re-
