CAMP |GN IS
EXTENDED WEEK
''Buy-a-HOme" Efforts of 10.
cal Realty Board Prove De-
CidedIy Successful.

The cold weather put something
of a damper on the opening of the
"Buy-a- Home" campaign. but local
real estate men are determined TO
beat the weatherman and have ac-
cOrdingly extended the campaign
over another week. This week
with promise Of warmer weather,
the campaign will be pushed with
vigor. and should prove a decided
success
Despite the cold weather the past
week the campaign produced good
results and the impetus given TO the
sale of subdivision property will
more than repay the real estate men
for the expense and trouble OF hold
ing the campaign.
Beginning today the sale of prop
erty i'm the 20 subdivisions and ad-
ditiOns throughout the city will be
pushed hard. Statesmen will be on
the grounds. and especially attrac-
tive offers will be given property
buyers this week
The advertising campaign of the
local realty board has been very
effective. Large banners have been
strung at conspicuous places
throughout the city which together
with posters i'm the store windows
and other places have called the at
tention of the people 10 the cam
paign. once the public's attention
has been drawn newspaper publicity
has been used to focus this atten-
ton 10 particular properties. The
results were distinguishable this
week hut the full results will Only
be realized as the season progresses.
Even without the Buy -a-HOme'
campaign there is a boom in South
Bend real estate now such as has
never been experienced before, as
indicated 10y the business of the
month of April. All records were
broken by the months business, and
this despite the cold weather. The
43S transfers made during April
total in cash S46S.16O.25.
This exceeds by $4,000 the record
set i'm March when all previous rec
ords for local real estate activity
were smashed. The activity of the
market this year is indicated by the
fact that during April last year the
cash valuation of the transfers rec
orded amounted to only 194.S36.20.
Judging by the steady increase in
the amount of local realty business
this summers business will surpass
even the fOndest hopes of the real
estate men. The progress made this
year is indicated by the business of
the first months of the year which
has been as follows: January 1921
551.1O. February. O,2O1.5O;
March. S415.37O.72: April $46s.-
1925. The building increase has
been propOrtionate.
There were no transfers of special
importance during the past week.
The largest transfer being probably
that of the T.. G.. Eberhart home in
Mishawaka which was purchased by
W. w. Dodge for about $4,000 it is
said. Jacob Kuntz purchased a
large 100 acre farm in Penn town
shin from George Bush for $4,000.
The total number of transfers for
the week was near the 100 mark.

SMALL RETAILERS VEX
FOOD ADMINISTRATION
Authorities Admit Inability at
This Time to Control
.Profteering Dealers
WILL RY PUBLICITY

Small retail dealers are the thorn In the
side or tho food adminstr ,tion. ohctais
admitted today that they cannot control
the retaie in food commodities. They de-
care that as result Of this merchants are
charging prices which are excessive and
there is no method TO prevent them
Several plans are in the minds "f the
food administr .tion to check the prohteer-
ing retailer.
The most feasible plan at the present
time is ptiless publicity. Beginning on No
vember l. when the majority Of food COM
modities go under license. the food admins-
trat'on will begin TO publish daily the cost
OF foods state food administrations VIII
announce the actual cost 20 the retailer OF
various food commodities in every LOCALITY.
The question of the prices to he paid Will
then be up to the public Food admins
tration officials believe that with publicity
as to cost the pressure Of public opinion
will force retailers to make their profits
reasonable
Il is admitted by some of the food ad-
ministration experts that small retailers are
justified in charging higher prices because
Of their overhead expenses. They cannot
compete with the llrger concerns. Should
the war continue for any length Of Time ii
is predicted that II will be necessary TO take
steps which will literally wipe out the small
dealer who Is forced to pay higher costs
because Of his lack Of facilities and organi-
zation.
Even now the food administration has
under consideration a plan to cut distribu'
ton costs which is radical departure from
present methods. II is the plan to de-
liver groceries and food commodities in the
same manner that mail is delivered Under
this method the Government would estab-
lish a central delivery station. All dealers
in food commodities would send their de-
Livery wagons to this point From the
central clearing house there would be de-
liverles made at stated intervals during the
dav. in the same manner that mail Is de-
livered II is estimated that this would
eliminate. as big factor in retail prices
the cost of delivery.
Food experts declare that distribution
charges are TOO large factor i'm retail
costs at present, and their plan for CEN
traI delivery system seems to be the only
remedy They are now considering asking
Congress for the authority TO establish such
a system
Several legislative experts are working
now for the food administration drafting
bills relative to the food problem, which
Congress will be asked to pass upon in its
next session.
Herbert Hoover has felt himself weighted
down bv limitations md will seek broader
mowers The power 10 deal effectively with
The retail merchant will be one OF the first
things he II ask from the next congress

HOOVER APPEALS TO HOUSEWIVES
ON EVE OF FOOD PLEDGE WEEK
BY HERBERT HOOVER
National Food Administrator
written for the United Pre- ss)

WE ARE asking that every home
w and every public eating place
pledge themselves to the food admin
istration to carry out our directions
as to economy and the elimination of
waste in food so far as their circum-
stances permit.
This is not an onerous service to
ask, yet it is just as vital service
to winning this war as the sending
of soldiers to France. the subscrip-
tion to Liberty Bonds or the build
ing of ships. If the millions of men,
women and children among the Allies
are not kept in health and strength,
the soldiers cannot be maintained in
war. They are the first line of our
defense against domination by Ger
many. Their flags are ours. They
must be fed.
The food administration is working
night and day to secure the equitable
distribution Of our supplies to protect
both our producers and our con-
sumers, and in no way can this great
section of our labors be so etfectually
aided as by economy and saving of
waste.
We have abundant food for all the
world fighting against Germany, and
at reasonable prices, if every one of
the 20,000,000 homes and 100000 pub
lie eating places co-operates with US.
