A SENSIBLE CAMPAIGN.
beaumont Enterprise:

Beaumont Enterprise;
Manager b. A. Eignus Of the South
ern Rice Growers association is pre-
pairing letters to be sent to seven
thousand boarding schools in the
United States offering to sell rice at
wholesale prices to these schools in or
der to teach the boys and girls the
value and wholesomeness of this food.
The contemplated campaign is sound
and sensible and it should be a sue
cess.
The Rice Growers association will
not make any profit selling rice at
wholesale prices, but a great future
demand for rice will be created.
The people Of the United States do
not know how to cook rice. Conse-
cGently they do not know how good it
is. Cooked as most Americans cook
il, rice is not an exceptionally good
food although it is wholesome how
ever it may be prepared. Mr.. Eignus
intends to sell the rice at wholesale
prices and then teach the schools how
to cook it.
People will not eat rice merely be-
cause IL is cheap. Teach them how
good rice really is and they will eat it,
regardless of the cost.
