quest of Mayor for Speed
on Paving Line.
Il - 80 Il MishaWaka.

Ten cent fares 10 Mishawaka
This is the proposition submit
ted TO Mayor Fred w. Keller by 7.
r. Grover. general manager Of the
Northern Indiana Railway CO. here,
as a reply 10 the mayors request
FOR more speed in the improve
ment Of the lines Of Mishawaka av.
Mr.. Grover has suggested 90 the
city administration that it petit
ton the public utilities commission
for a raise in the passenger fare
rates on both sides Of the river
that more men may be employed 10
rush the work on the north side.
This suggestion coming from Mr..
Grover almost as a direct reply to
Mayor Keller's campaign for six
fares for % cents, is a blow 20 the
board of works, the members Of
which now see a joker planted in
the agreement with the street car
company.
Mr.. Growers Overtures for ten
cent fares explains his reasons for
passing the buck" To the contract
or in regard to the labor question.
Mayor Keller's insistence that the
street car company carry out its
agreement and employ more men
to rush the improvement on the
north side has brought things TO
an issue, according TO the board of
public works
Fear Jitney Bus Traffic.
1t is said. also, that the car man
ayers cannot forget the jitney bus
bugbear and see in the pavement
completion, a modern thorOughfare
and handsome revenue for the
owners.
According 70 law, notice was
served on the street car company
this morning by the board of
works, that more men must he plac-
ed on T.. Mishawaka av. improve
ment 10 complete the work 10y Nov.
-, the time specified in the con-
tract that IL should be finished, but
which cannot be accomplished with
the force of q men now employed
on the job by the company. If suf-
fcient men are not placed on the
work within a certain length OF
time, the law also provides that the
city may do so and charge the cost
up to the street car cOmDany.
Members OF the board of works
visited the point where the work is
being done Tuesday morning and
decided that the work is progressing
as rapidly as possible with the num-
Der OF men employed, but that an
additional number is needed.

WASHINGTON, Oct 25--An army Of
10000 men and women is forming un-
der the food administration today TO go
out and tell Americas i00l0O0,000 peo-
pie 10 eat all they want. All II asks
Is that they conserve the few needed
war foods: wheat, meat, fats and SUI
gar. Most folks have had the Idea that
the Food Administration was trying to
cut down the size OF the average Amer
leans meals.
Not at ALL" said the Food Adminls-
tration today. "All We're TO do Is to get
people TO eat more OF the good things
Of which we have an abundance, and
less OF the necessary war foods we
haven't much OF" This good news will
lbe carried to every one OF Americas
% 100000 front doors by this volunteer
army between October % and N0vem-
Der 4-National Food Pledge Week.
The 100000 ministers Of America Will
start the campaign by preaching War

army will 90 out the following day

defence" in the cOsey trenches OF
American homes. Leading these bread
butter-and-beef battalions VIII be the
War Mothers OF America; women
whose fathers, sons, sweethenrts or
husbands are at the front or on their
way there; then whom, the Food Ad-
ministratlon feels. there is none better
ntted In America TO carry the. message
OF wartime meals to That strategic
stretch Of domestic terrain between
the pantry and the kitchen range.
The idea the Administration wants
20 stress Is that II is not asking any
one 10 eat less food, but merely to ea'
different food. There is, 10 points out
plenty Of excellent food for everyone
The only things there is a shortage o.
are some foods that can be compact,
shipped abroad and which contain It's
sue and energy building elements tha
are vital TO the fighting power OF ou
own and Allied soldiers.
By this, the administration polnteI
out, II means that no soldier can Ugh
effectively when he feels In his hear
that his women and children are hun
cry at home. The Administrations feel
that II is a vital part OF this country
war duty to see that the civilian popu
lations Of Allied Europe are kept fe
and contented.
The Food Administration also mad
clear why IL is urging the saving o
these war foods as voluntary cam
paign. 1T is because" said a Food Ad
ministratlon of1cial today, America

they see Il. In Europe, particularly In
Germany, the peoples patriotism is not
trusted. Their supplies are seized and
doled out to them by a master. Moth |
ing is left for the individual to decide.
Theirs is an enforced patriotism. Ours,
voluntary"
The Food Administration is striving
10 make sure that the United States
does not run short OF wheat, meats,
fats. milk OF sugar to send our Allies
and our armies In Europe. A continued
shortage Of these things win give Ger
many a much better chance OF win
ming the war by weakening the night

America is the only Allied nation In
position 10 supply these vital commod-
tiles 10 make up the shortage. The
only way America can do 10 Is by every
individual American doing his or her
bit OF personal conservation.
