The joint commission of Moody

There is very little difference on the
total cost. The contract for the work
of excavating, laying the tile and fill

was let to p. A. Thompson, of
Greene, la. The labor, without the
hauling. is to be done for $~32,750.
The cement tile will be hauled for
$500. or the clay tile for $4,000.
The commissioners have not yet
decided on the kind of tile TO use,
but are considering the bids of two
contractors. The Sioux City Cement
Pipe company will furnish cement
tile for $4,000. The National Clay
Works, of Mason City, la, will fur
nish clay tile for $44,441.50. The
price of this. with the hauling.
amounts to S50,001.50. The cement
tile by the Sioux City company will
amount to $4,000 with the hauling
added. Engineers are disposed to
look with disfavor on the use OF
cement.

HIGH COST OF BLACK
 BERRY JAM MAY
 CHANGE ARMY RATION

Owing to the prevailing high price of blackberry jam, the War Department, on recommendation of the committee on supplies of the Council of National Defense, is considering the advisability of changing the regulation jam ration of the Army from black berry straight to jams of alter mating kinds, including peach, strawberry and plum.
 "It is not difficult to get blackberry jam for 75,OO0 men," the committee points out i'll its recommendation, "but it is not practical to attempt to get it for more than 1,000,000 men, particularly when some of the crop has already been put up in other than regulation Army tins. Moreover, other kinds would prove pleasant change for the men,"
 The Army's estimate of re- quirements for 1,300,00 men for one year is 220,642 cases, each of 24 tins.
