$4,000 HAS BEEN
RAISED To BUILD
HIGHWAY To CUBA
Campaign Not To Be Prose-
Cuted Until After New Year,
Then Star Again With Re-
neWed Energy.

About IS. 600 has been raised in the
campaign for the Cuba cutoff road,
according to the report submitted by
the team captains last night. No reg
ular work on the campaign will be
done between Christmas and New
Years but the campaign will reopen
immediately after New Years for the
purpose OF raising the remainder of
tho $4,000 needed.
Reports so far show only one or
two refusals and almost unanimous
endorsement of the project and will
ingness to subscribe for the full quota
asked by the campaign committee and
no difficulty is being anticipated in
raising the full amount after the holi-
days.
The Chamber of Commerce an
nounces that the automobile trades
have been the first to meet the call
made upon them, $1.675 having been
subscribed by ten garages, automobile
companies and tire companies to date.
The committee in charge of inter-
viewing these concerns consist of y,
c. Butler, captain; Z, f. Bliss, c. S.
Quickel and l.. II. Little.
1t is also reported that most of the
wholesale houses and banks have sub

RED CROSS ROLL
CALL ADDS 2,4SO
MEMBERS To LIST
Quite a Few People Were Out
When Workers Called, So
List May Be SweIIed by
Those Who Join Later.

The roll call of Albuquerque has
| for the campaign reports that 2,490
memberships have been turned in.
Quite a few people were out. how
| ever when the workers called during
the intensive period of the campaign
and for their benefit both will be
maintained in the postoffice until
| Christmas day. 1t is thought that this
will not only materially augment the
final total but will provide an oppor-
tunity for many others who wish to
join the Red Cross to become men,
bers.
Mrs. Roy Strome deserves and is
receiving the highest praise for the
way the campaign has been conduct
ed Mention is also made of the big
success of the booth department of
the campaign under the direction of
Mrs. Brehmer. In spite of the in
clemency of the weather during the
days the booths were in operation,
Mrs Brehmer kept them fully
manned and ready for business at all
times
The Santa Fe shops and the Santa
Fe freight sheds and other depart
ments of the Santa Fe will make
their returns Monday and are expect
ed to come through, as usual IN gal
liant style.
The figures given above relate en-
tifely to the members taken in during
the Red Cross Christmas roll call and

FOOD ADMINISTRATORS
RECEIVES POSTERS
FOR DISTRIBUTION

The local office of the food admin
( lstration has received supply of two
kinds of posters from Washington for
distribution among $500 retail dealers
throughout the state. They will not
be mailed, however. until the rush of
Christmas mail is over
One of the posters which shows IL
picture of Abraham Lincoln quotes
from him as follows:
with malice toward none. with
charity for all. let us strive on to
finish the work we are in; TO bind up
the nations wounds. to do all which
may achieve and cherish a Just and
lasting peace
The other poster, which shows a
picture of President Wilson, quotes
from him as follows:
Hunger does not breed reform it
breeds madness and all the ugly dis
temper that makes an orderly life i'm
possible The future belongs to those
who prove themselves the true friends
of mankind"

SAVING Of FOOD
URGED To STOP
FAMINE ABROAD
Decentralization of Administra-
TONS Workers Does Not In
dictate That Activities Have
Ceased,

Saving food N No s .....,.,....,
The activities of the United States
food administration must continue as
the necessity for conserving food to
prevent famine aud anarchy in many
parts of Europe is most urgent" said
NJ. Il. Johnston, acting fedaal food
administration for New Mexico, last
night. in discussing the future of the
administration
Partial rehabilitation of the food
administration and the withdrawal of
many of its rules and regulations have
given the impression in some quarters
that all food administration activities
have ceased or shortly are to cease.
This is not the case, however.
THE act, creating the food admin
istration, imposes upon the admins
tration certain obligations which con-
tinue until presidential proclamation
releases us from the food control act
and particularly the obligation to
curb profiteering and speculation in
licensed food products. This function
must continue to he performed and
there is no intention of relaxing in
this direction
ut has been possible " Mr.. John
ston continued, now that peace is as
sured, to cancel many requirements
for reports and many details of the
Populations. But the profit margins
and rules have been for the most part
retained and will be enforced by re-
vocation of licenses and other appro-
pirate penalties.
1t IL expected that it will he pos
sble from time to time to remove
certain commodities from the license
list. but this will be limited to COM
modities which do not seem likely to
be subjected to possibility of specula-
ton and profiteering.
In other words" Mr.. Johnston adj
ded, there is much work still before
the food administration to provided
more than 2O,0O0,000 tons Of food for
export for relief of many millions Of
people facing famine and at the same
time protect the American consumer
by curbing profiteering and specula-
ton in foodstuffs."

Let US be perfectly frank and state
that this confusion in the public mind
is the natural result of certain state
ments and acts Of some manufacturers
who belong to what we would term
the "opportunist" class.
These makers-and there are several
of them-have recently announced
reductions" in prices to what they
brazenly term "Pre-War" standards.
Now, in not a single case that we can
recall, has the, reduction actually
been what it purported to be!
In every such case the Wartime
peak" price was fictitious.
In no case had it been in vogue for any
considerable period-most Of them
were announced just before the war
ended. ...
In some conspicuous cases the War
time prices had applied only to the
individual buyer-the price to dealers
the wholesale price had not been
changed.
This is inside stuff" we are telling you
but the case calls for absolute frank
ness if we are to clear your mind Of the
erroneous impressions created by such
tactics.
The Confidential reason given fer
the last War time raise in price to the
public-but not to the deaier-was
for the benefit of the dealer"
On account Of the closing down of
factories, automobile dealers were
confronted with a shortage of cars
and a continuance of expense.
That was all right so far as it went
but was it sound business to protect
them at the expense of their Gus
toners?
Instantly the war ended-and it was
most unexpected--the3e makers ran
for cover.
They knew their product could not
compete in the open market at it's
fictitious Wartime price.
So they hastily announced "reduc-
tons"
Conditions had not - have not -
changed ar iota. Still they am
nounced "reductionsP
Look at the figures -compare prices of
those cars then and now-the normal
prices of year ago; the peak" price
of the late Wartime period and the
present reduced prices.
And you will find that in some cases
Wartime prices were increased as
much as 1870 and reduced 20T!
In other cases the increases amounted
to 80 per cent-the recent "reduc-
tons" to 1919.
We are sorry to relate that this species
of strategy has been resorted to by
the makers of one car that, formerly,
we considered above such practices.
