Those Christmas Packages


In planning Christmas gifts for the
soldiers, their relatives and friends
should keep in mind the two requisites
of utility and compactness. The field
kit has definite limitations as to size
and weight, and the soldier will only
be hindered by possession of useless
bric-abrac which should impel people
to do their Christmas shopping early,
one being that considerable time will
be required for transportation to dis
tant points, and the other that the
early buyer will have the better choice
of goods, since it is by no means GER
tain that al desirable articles will be
manufactured in the quantities re-
quired. All the industries of the coun-
try are giving first~ attention to war
work, and production is not to be
gagged by normal standards. While
there is not yet in commercial circles
a definite forecast of shortage, there
is good reason to believe that the
adage about the early bird and the
worm will be applicable:

 Reduction of the house increases in taxes on cigars, cigarettes. and all ether tobacco products from about 100 per cent to 50 per cent, with no estimated reduction in the S7S.200 de signed to be brought in under the house rates.

Hoover as it's head as soon as Congress passes the new food legis- lation. This will be undertaken by cutting down the margin between pro ducer and consumer through a sys- tenn of executives under the central administration. each to study means of shortening the speculative chain that handles particular commodity. The first staples to be studied prob ably will be grain, four, meat, and sugar.
 Stability of prices. Mir. Hoover be- lieves. is vital to the successful low ering of costs to the consumer, both here and abroad. The executives will have under them boards, on which will be represented producer. middle man and consumer. Their efforts will be In the direction of modification of present trade methods and the stimu- lation of production. The system of executive boards will be one of sev- eral divisions into which the admin istrstion will be divided. One duty of the executives will be to advise on allied purchasing. which MT. Hoover and government officials hope will be removed from a competitive basis.
 The food administration. through it's commodity executives, will assert just what the country can spare in food staples and this will be balanced against the added demands.
 The food administration, 1t was said today, will take up it's work deter mined to adopt no irretrievable meas ures. MT. Hoover is convinced that with the cooperation of the people the food problem can be solved with minimum of dislocation.
