HOOVER 7: WILL
lower PRICES
DROP EXPECTED TO RESULT
FROM sTABALIZING OF FOOD
VALUES.

Washington, May 29.-Reduction Of
the present higa prices the consumer
pays for food, it was announced today
will be one Of the first aims Of the new
food administration which will be Gre
ated with Herbert C. Hoover as it's
head, as soon as congress passes the
governments food control legislation.
This will be undertaken by cutting
down the margin between producer
and consumer through system of ex-
ecutives under the central administra-
tion, each to study means Of shorten
ing the speculative chain that handles
particular commodity. The first
staples to be studied probably will be
grain, flour, meat and. sugar.
Price Stability.
Stability Of prices, Mr.. Hoover be-
lieves, is vital to the successful lower
ing Of costs to the consumer, both here
and abroad. The executives will have
under them boards, on which will be
represented the producer, middleman
and consumer. Their efforts will be
in the direction Of modification of the
present trade methods, and the stimu-
lation Of production.
The system Of executive boards will
be one Of the several divisions into
which the administration will be di-
vided. One duty Of the executive.
will be to advise on allied purchasing.
Allies Demands.
The food administration through it's
commodity executives will ascertain
just what the country can share in
food staples and this will be balanced
off against the allied demands. If
stocks available for export do not
reach the allied requirements, the al
lied commissioners will settle among
themselves their apportionment.
Mr.. Hoover IS convinced that with
the cooperation Of the the people, the
food problem can be solved with 8
minimum disloc< ton. Stabalizatior
of prices, he believes, can be accom-.
plished by lubricating the channels Of
distribution. Representatives of pro.
ducers, millers, grain dealers, whole.
them they are for the measures pro
| posed.

CANADA MAY DRAFT
men up TO As YEARS

Ottawa, Ont, May 2s.-It appears
probable today that Canada's conscrip-
tion bill will be introduced in the corr
mons on Friday. The registration au-
thorized by it will differ from that Of
the national service scheme in that
penalties win be attached to make it
really compulsory. It is estimated
there are about $4,000 young men,
most of them unmarried and without
dependents, who are not engaged in
vital war work. Whether the age
limit will be fixed at 40 or IS years is
as yet undecided.

BETTER THAN A NEW

Some of us have made a resolution
to neglect even our mending for the
next week in order to KNIT. If you
will join us we can make a substantial
shipment by the middle Of October
Finished garments should be turned
over to Mrs. Mary Spring, Chairman
Knitting Committee, as soon as ready

ment is made before our work will
reach the trenches, and if not shipped
very soon, it will be useless for the
winter campaign. We are not bit
patriotic who take our own good time
to get something knitted for our sold
iers, which will not likely reach them
before next spring.
We, who do not have to go to the
front. and can stay at home in COM
parativc quiet and comfort this wint-
err, can do our bit right now by max
ing warm clothing for our soldiers
who will be fighting for us this winter
in the trenches. They are there re
presenting us and our responsibility to
them is very great.

DOsYoUR BIT BY
USING COARSE BREAD

The United States government has
earnestly requested that every effort
be made in the saving of wheat 1t
has been suggested to the Times by a
member of the Red Cross Society,
that our community use more coarse
bread At this time the local bakeries S
and stores handling "the staff of life"
have had very little call for rye and
graham bread, hence it has been only
occasionly that it could be purchased.
AS has been suggested, if the demand
were created by the people, both gra-
ham and rye bread would always be
in stock, and by using it. we would be
doing our part to save the wheat sup
ply of the United States.

At the time of this writing the
membership committee was unable to
give a complete report as to the sue
cess of the recent campaign. The re-
ports from the various subcommittee
were not all received. However, this
much is certain, Smith Valley has add
ed more than hundred members and
Silver City and Dayton more than $50.
Mason Valley was uncertain. As near
as can be ascertained Lyon county has
now about 1000 Red Cross members.
This is a very good showing but there
are about $500 people in the county
so please don't stop at 1000 make it
at least 500 more.
The Workroom Committee of Yer
ington wishes to call to the attention
of the ladies of this community that
there is beaded scarcity of workers
and that the number is continually
falling off Everyone should contrib

The cause is worthy and those who do
what they can will be amply repaid.
There is a call being sent out for
clean white or light-colored rags. This
material is to be used for filling am
