This is fine promotion, and East Jor-
dan and Northern Michigan may well

Commencing next Tuesday the Tenn
pie Theatre will raise the admission
price TO III and Is cents. On account
Of the war tax on moving pictures
which takes effect Nov. LIST all theatres
throughout the country are forced to
raise their admission price. The war
tax has hit the moving picture industry
hard, there being three different taxes
to meet: One on the raw material be-
fore it is made into picture, one when
the picture is made, and then one on
each admission to the theatre. This
makes it impossible to operate theatre
at the old scale of'prices. Some OF the
theatres will close and those remaining
open will have to raise their prices to
meet the war tax. Manager Gruber of
our Temple Theatre says he did not
want to raise the prices, but was case
OF increasing the admission to lOc for
children and l5c for adults or closing
the theatre.
The National Food Controller has
PLANNED for nine weeks campaign in
food conservation, commencing Sun.
day, Oct 2Sth. AS many families as
will are to be enrolled, making q
weekly report as to the number Of
wheatless, meatless and wasteless
meals. Mr.. Hoover has asked the
churches OF the country to take charge
OF the work. A county chairman with
general oversight is to be appointed.
Arrangements are being made in the
local churches to start this work Sun
day. The need OF such campaign 10
apparent to all. Our allies are fighting
for us. Their men are not now able
to raise the necessary food, and still to
do good work in the trenches must
have more food than in ordinary times.
America must furnish this food to those
who fight for us, as well as to care for
our own boys when they 60 to France.
Transportation is a problem at any
time, but more especially now in the
parine activity. The food sent
must be such as is creates. in food
